ORIENTAL INSURANCE CO.
CAUSING SOME TROUBLE

Considerable trouble is being caused
to American Consuls along the Chinese
Coast because of the operations there
of the Oriental Life Insurance Com
pany, Ltd, which concern was incor-
this Territory on August u, 1901, but
which has not been in business here,
SO far as anybody knows, for some
time. Some little time ago the Ameri-
can Consul-General at Hongkong made
some inquiries of the Treasurer con-
cerning this company, and now comes
Thos. Sammons, United States Consul
General at Newchwang, with letter to
the state Department which has been
forwarded with its enclosures to Gov
ernor Carter to find out about the con-
cern. With the Sammons correspond
ence is this letter:
The China Mutual Life Insurance
Company, Limited.
Newchwang Agency, 3rd May, 1906.
Thos. Sanamons, Esq, Z. S. Consul
General.
Dear Sir: I beg to inform you of a
little matter which has a tendency to
interfere with the business which I am
agent for in this port. AS the COM
pany | wish to mention is an American
Chinese Company. founded under the
Law of Honolulu, H. l., l thought that
you might be able to gain some infor-
nation in regard to the company which
would enable me to carry on my busi
ness without any more trouble. On
the 2Sth of May 1902. Chinese gentle |
man by the name of Yuen Sho Faem
insured his life in an American and /!
Chinese Company called The Oriental
Life Insurance Company Ltd for the
sum of $1,000 Mex. for a period of years, |
namely twenty 600 at an annual pre-
MUM Of $50 Mex. per annum.
On the 30th of May. 1902. a Chinese
gentleman by the name of Lu Shang
Foe insured his life in the same COM
pany for the sum of $1,000 Mex. for a
period of years, namely twenty 600,
at an annual premium of $3.50 Mex.
per annum. On May 1St, 1903 they
went TO Mr.. H. r. Everan (who was
a t that time agent for the American
Trading and also collecting agent for
the Oriental Life Insurance Company,
Ltd and paid their premium on the
policies up to May, 1904 at which time
they went to pay their next premium
but found that Mr.. Evera1 was no
longer in charge of the American
Trading Co. and that the new agent
knew nothing in regard to the Oriental
Life Insurance, Ltd. and as the COM
pany had left no agent to look after
the collecting of the premium. Seeing
that the policy holders We're willing to
pay their premium I would like 20
know if there is not some way in which ;
the said policy holders can either ge+
their moneys refunded or part of
same returned.
As there is something like thirty or
forty of these policies in this port it
would be a great help to me if you

THE HAWAIIAN BAND IS
PLAYING IN MONTANA

were astonished and delighted with the
wonderful versatility of the Hawaiian
musicians, Jas a musical organization
it has few EQUALS, and as a novelty can
hardly be- surpassed. The appearance
of the musicians in their white uni
forms and their garlands of flowers
made those in the opera house wish to
learn more or the Island possessions of
Uncle Sam, and the people that inhabit
them.
The history of Hawaii, so far as it
concerns white men, begins in the
middle of the sixteenth century, when
the islands were visited by Spanish
navfgators. Captain Cook was the first
AngIo-Saxon to see the islands and
history tells US that he spent several
weeks there in January, 1778. Twice
during that year he visited the group
and was later killed by the natives.
whom. it is said, he had betrayed. The
nuch-used name, Sandwich Islands,
was bestowed Upon the group by Cap
tain Cook in honor of his friend and
patron, the Earl of Sandwich.
a native chieftain whose name was
kamehameha, and who is counted
great in Hawaiian history, came up
from the southern district of Hawaii
with an army and conquered the other
islands, This was in 1890 and While
Kamehameha was primarily a warrior
he also possessed considerable genius
for government Lands We're divided
among the people, political rights were
granted, a constitution was framed and
treaties We're negotiated.
Missionaries of all creeds visited
Hawaii and foreign ideas We're in
culcated in the minds of the people.
The successors of King Kamehameha
were counseled by Anglo-Saxons and
the monarchs found their advice help
ful. The line of succession was broken
in 1874 when David Kalakaua was
elected to the throne after the death
of LunaliIo. When Kalakaua died in
1891, his sister, Queen Liliuokalani,
ruled until the revolution in 1898, when
the monarchy was overthroWn. This
prepared the way for the republic,
which was established July f. 1894,
and which endured until the islands
were annexed by the United States
July I, 1898 After the annexation Ha-
waii became a Territory of the United
States. with the general form of gov
ernment already existing in our insular
possessions.
The backbone Of the business and So
cial life of the islands is the Ameri-
cans, although the population of the
capital city can be said to be cosmo-
politan.
The article concludes with Mark
Twain's prose poem.

Apparently, it did some business in

| /The Daily Missoulian has the follow
ing about Hawaiian band concert
! The music set the editor thinking and
| he has written a good promotion ar
| ticle. which, with the band critique, is
appended The Missoulian of June 22
says:
The Royal Hawaiian Band pleased d
large audience last night at the Union
opera house. There may be better
bands than the islanders, but it is
doubtful if there is an organization
capable OF giving any better entertain
Elent. What made the biggest hit with
the crowd We're the native songs. The
Hawaiian Glee Club was certainly the
goods, The vocalists would sing in
their soft Hawaiian speech of waving
palm trees and dancing waves and to
vary the numbers gave several hula"
songs.
The average person had little notion
Of what a hula song was, but with
the rattle of a banjo and the Ihrum-
ming OF score of guitars, the audi
ence recognized an old friend in the
rag-time rhythm. Consequently the
crowd appIauded until it was tired.
Rag-tine in the kanaka tongue sounds
good and the musicians We're not at
all averse to responding to the numer-
Gus encores
Miss Lei Lehua possesses an unusual
" sweet soprano voice. Her tones are
as pure as those of a flute and her
lower notes have a sympathetic ca
denee and excellent t1mbre. She sang
Hawaiian songs entirely: She was
dressed III white and wore the tradi-
tionaI yellow garland about her neck.
She has an attractive personality and
her singing is decidedly artistic.
John S. Ellis sang several tenor solos
and also appeared in the glee club. He
possesses a strong voice and his sing
ing was we'll received
AS a band the Hawaiian organiza-
ton is not as good as Sousa's or Ell
lery's Italian band for concert work.
This is not because the musicians are
rot capable. but because the brass in
struments predominant too largely.
Perhaps for outdoor playing the Ha-
waiian band would outshine the others.
The volume of sound was too great
for the theater
Bandmaster Berger, who organized
the Hawaiian band 35 years ago, is a
capable leader. His Interpretation OF
the Tannhauser chorus was excellent.
