ing the long-existing feud between the
Hohenzollerns and the house Of Cum

This quarrel is an old one. The Duke
Of Cumberland is the son Of George V,
the dethroned King Of Hanover, who
died in 1873. When the last Duke of
Brunswick died In 1854, leaving no chill
dren. the Duke Of Cumberland became
the heir, but. as he declined to recog-
nize the new constitution OF the Ger
man Empire. the imperial government
declined to allow the succession to take
place, and an interregnum began which
has lasted ever since The duke refused

Of Hanover were allowed
The regent Of Brunswick IS Prince Al

Last year. when Emperor william Wis

approaching settlement Of the quarrel
The Duke Of Cumberland was at tho
Danish capital just before the Emperor
arrived there, and il was generally be-
lieveG a marriage would be arranged be
tween one OF the dukes daughters and
the German crown prince. The duke
however, left Copenhagen just before the
Emperor arrived. and this act was re

also with commoners. Not long ago his
name was linked with that Of Gladys
Deacon. the beautiful daughter Of Ed
ward Parker Deacon, who killed NJ.
Abeille in fit OF jealous rage, and who
afterward became insane. Again Fred
erick was said TO be madly in love with
a lady tanner OF lions. and still again
with Geraldine Farrar.
During August last il was reported
that Prince Frederick had an interview
with his father in which he told the
latter that he was willing to renOunce
his rank and claim to the throne for the
sake Of a matrimonial alliance he was
then planning-just which one the Paris
"Matln," which was responsible for the
story, did not say. In fact, IT was as

LITERARY EXERCISES

There was considerable delay in
starting the literary exercises. 1t was
some time after 10 o'clock before the
musical instruments for the accom-
panists were placed in the band

Yet an audience of between two and
three thousand in number waited with
no show of Impotence until the open
ing. Even a smart shower of rain last
ing several minutes and looking to out
last the forenoon did not cause the
slightest break in the crowds disposed
in groups under the trees over a radius
of fifty yards from the stand. Chairs
accommodating four or five hundred
people had been placed facing the posi-
ton of the speakers and singers. The
great majority stood, while not a few
sat on the grass.
Many Hawaiians and Portuguese
were in the audience. The industrial
element was conspicuous and there was
a large adnixture of women and chill
dren. Among the faces seen in the
standing throngs were those of veterans
of the Civil war, silver-haired American
| patriots, Protestant and Catholic cler-
gy, old residents of alien birth who
adopted the flag at the Inauguration OF

Promptness in moving at the appoint

the military parade. The Federal
troops, heading the column, formed
with front on Richards street. After
the National Guard regiment marched

through the Capitol grounds and took

HOW HONOL ULU KEPT
THE FOURTH Of JULY
Stirring Orations by Attorney Dunno and
Master Mechanic Hughes Military Par
ade and SaIutes, etc.

That munificent spending fund is
not essential to the peoples enjoyment
of the Fourth of July was proved yes
terday 1t was probably the cheapest
celebration. from the viewpoint of an
organized plan, that Honolulu has had
in the lifetime of a generation. One
great lack existed, as compared with
some former years, which would have
ply. There were no free general sports
with prizes to arouse competition where
young and old might have had an out
ing without Smelling out money. This
is a regretable omission on the Fourth
of July, the day of all days when last
ing impressions with a patriotic bear
ing may be made upon the youthful
mind. Hilo did not forget this for yes
terday.
Another thing neglected in Honolulu
on this occasion was decoration. Inc
many bare poles over business houses
could not fail to have given something
of a chilling effect. Only a few stores
gave even an apology of dressing up
for the country's birthday. Some OF the
small hotels and lodging houses put
the large business concerns to shame
hi
display of bunting by the vessels in
port. redeeming considerably the other
wise dismal aspect of the city front.
As for the weather, no complaint can
be made. There were just frequent
enough sprinklings of rain to abolish
the dust nuisance, while brisk though
fitful breezes moderated the midsum-
mer heat. Here it may be mentioned,
for the benefit of readers abroad, that
one class of mishaps is entirely absent
from a Fourth in Honolulu There are
no sunstrokes. Nobody is ever seen
carried out of a crowd here. overcome
by heat.
A national salute of q guns greeted
the rising sun. At noon every one of
the States of the Union was honored
with an exploding blank cartridge in
grand artillery salute OF As guns
: For the rest of the celebration in
town. there was a military street pa
rade followed with literary exercises
at the Capitol grounds. Boat racing
and baseball and cricket games, as re-
ported elsewhere, gave amusement to
thousands at various places. In the
evening fireworks and dancing complet-
ed the celebration.
