reciprocity treaty. The government of
the United States expressed wish to
acquire Hawaii and intimated that It's
people must look to annexation for re-
lief from their commercial difficulties.
The situation in 1858 should be borne in
mind when considering the situation In
1S93-04.
The annexation sentiment In the islands
now took the concrete form of a political
movement which derived a strong i'm
petus from the unsettled condition OF the
country following upon the death In 1872
of Kamahameha. the fifth and last OF the
dynasty, The succession was disputed and
eventually decided by the legislature In
favor of Kalakaua, man OF great po-
litical influence, but also OF dlssolute hab-
its and no talent for government. His
election was signalized by a rlot-the first
in the memory of the oldest American
resident, but the forerunner of many
similar occurrences. During the reign OF
this incompetent debauchee the country,
carried forward on the tidal wave OF
commercial expansion, continued to pros
per. The long contemplated reciprocity
treaty was at length passed-in 1915
with a consequent boom in the sugar
business, and the Hawaiian government
evinced Its gratitude by the eession to
America OF Pearl Harbor, a splendid
anchorage about seven miles north Of
Honolulu, needing little improvement TO
make II one of the finest naval stations 10
the world. Surveys were made and favor
able recommendations forwarded to Con-
gress, but the necessary work was not
performed. When the war with Spain
broke out. some 20 years later. the gov
ernment appreciated the previous neglect
In this matter.

Kalakaua abandoned himself 20 drunken

to the inevitable goal of annexation.
Hawaiian sugar is necessarily high
priced product. 1t cannot, like the low
grade output of the Philippines, find a
market in China and Japan. The greater
part of 1t is raised on irrigated lands by
the most highly paid cooie labor In the
world. Under such conditions no great
extension of the industry could be hoped
for unless Hawaiian sugar might enter
America on favored terms. Consequently
the islanders, many Of whom began to
contemplate the prospect of closer
bond, made every effort to secure a reel
procity arrangement with the United
States In 1858 a treaty OF that charac-
ter was drawn by Commissioner Lee on
behalf OF Hawaii and Secretary of State
Marcy, but 1t failed on ratification by the
Senate. Again In 1867 a similar treaty
was made and recommended to Congress
by President johnson, but 1t met with the
same fate. Whilst, Of course, there were
strong interests opposed to the introduc-
tion OF Hawali's sugar on competitive
terms. 1t would appear that the chief
motive underlying the defeat of these
measures was fear on the part of the
iflehus OF haWhH tnal tue sr"ht VI reSf
proeity might prevent or retard annexa-
tion. That such an idea was entertained
by the administration is evidenced by the
following paragraph from a letter OF Sec
retary Seward to the United States Min
lister at Hawaii;
"a lawful and peaceful annexation Of
the Islands to the United States with the
consent OF the people OF the Sandwich
Islands is deemed desirable by this gov
ernment; ana il the policy OF annexation
should really conflict with the policy OF
reciprocity, annexation is in every case
to be preferred"
Here then was condition OF affairs
calculated TO stimulate the annexation
movement. There appeared to be no
prospect OF the passage OF the desired

Upon the protest of the United States,
however, the British government imme-
diately repudlated the action of its rep
resentative. A few years later the French
attempted the seizure of the islands and
their troops took forcible possession of
the fort, the custom-house and the gov
ernment buildings The King of Hawaii
again appealed to the United States and
Secretary Webster Immediately addressed
communication to the French minister
at Washington, which wound up with the
following significant statement:
''The Navy Department will receive in
structions to place and keep the naval
armament of the United States In the Pa
citc in such a state of strength and prep
aration as shall be requisite for the pres
ervation of the honor and dignity of the
United States and the safety of the gov
ernment of the Hawaiian Islands,"
Convinced that the United States would
war for the independence of Hawaii,
France quickly withdrew and from that
time the designs of European nations
against the islands ceased
Meanwhile Hawaii was making rapid
strides along the path OF civilization and
prosperity. The whale trade Of the Pa
cinc was at its height and the Hawaiian
Islands had become a depot for the de-
posit and transhipment of the product or
the fisheries. In response to the demands
OF the gold-seekers OF "Forty-nine," Ha-
wall was raising and shipping wheat
nOur and potatoes in large quantities To-
day she is depending upon California for
these things so that an interruption to
the sailings from San Francisco threatens
a bread famine In Honolulu. The sugar
industry, after 15 years of development,
had assumed considerable Importance and
1t began to be evident that its natural
market was the United States and that its
future prosperity would depend upon tar

Britain. But though insisting upon the
performance of all the obligations of a
responsible, independent government, the
powers displayed disincllnation to admit
Hawaii among them as a civilized nation.
In the hope Of securing for his country
the recognition 1t unquestionably deserved.
King Kamehameha the III. sent two
delegates to the United States with a let
ter addressed to Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state. The document made a
strong appeal and among other arguments
the King stated that government schools
were established throughout the country
and few of the younger generation were
unable TO read. A regular monarchlcal
government was in existence of a limited
and representative character. Complete
protection was afforded to the property
and persons Of all and, in short, the gov
ernment rendered all that "is demanded
OF or rendered by the governments OF
sovereign and independent states" The
royal correspondent concluded by calling
attention to the growing Importance OF
the Hawaiian Islands in the marine traf-
fc OF the Pacific, and TO the fact that at
that time there were 1,400 American
citizens resident in the Islands. owning
property valued at upwards OF three
millions Of dollars.
This letter was made the subject of a
message to Congress by President Tyler,
who expressed his opinion that the United
States should recognize the Independence
of Hawaii and that 1t should view with
dissa tisfaction "any attempt by another
power, should such an attempt be threat
ened or feared, to take possession OF the
Islands, colonize them and subVert the
native government" This expression OF
policy, which warned the powers to keep
hands on Hawaii, proved to be extremely
timely. While the President was putting
this declaration upon paper, Lord George
Paulet, In command Of British war
vessel, raised his country's dag In Homo
lulu and deposed the Eeisning sovereign.

Aside from Captain Cooks discovery in
1878, Great Britain's pretenslons were
supported by the fact that the Islands
were formerly ceded to her at the time
of Vancouver's visit In 1904, and the
Union Jack raised over them, although
the cession was not ratified by the British
government. AS an Offset to these inter
ests the Americans advanced three Inn
portant considerations. The first whites
to become domiciled in the islands were
two American seamen, named Young and
Davis 1t was the former who, as Prime
Minister to King Kamehameha the First,
defeated the attempt of the Russian gov
ernor OF Alaska to take possession OF the
Hawaiian Islands for his country In 1909.
Almost 20 years before this event, Cap
tain Kendrick a Yankee skipper, had
established a depot on Oahu for the col
lection of sandalwood, thus forming the
nucleus Of Hawall's foreign trade. In
1919 Boston sent to the Islands the first
OF the missionaries who introduced not
only christianity, but also public schools,
hospitals and many other institutions Of
civilization. At the time that the mission
aries first turned their attention TO
Hawaii. New England whalers began to
make rendezvous OF the Islands, and
during the ensuing 60 years they re-
mained an important center of the whal-
ing trade. The growth of this industry
induced President Monroe to appoint a
commercial agent TO Hawaii for the pur-
pose Of looking after the interests OF
American trade and seamen, aud this
step opened official relations between the
United States aud the Islands. The British
government soon followed suit by estab-
fishing a consulate at Honolulu. and from
that time the friction between the set
tiers Of the two nations was constant
and frequent diplomatic differences oe-
Cured between their governments. In
1885 the Hawaiian monarch was com

siderations 1t was the latter OF these
that excited the cupldity of the European
nations. Aside from this advantage, Ha-

Hawaiian group offered attractions OF

of Hawaiian history-the whites enjoyed
the utmost consideration from the rulers
and exerted a great deal of influence
with them. Whilst almost all civilized
countries were represented by their citl-
zens In Honolulu, Americans and British
far outnumbered all others. For long
period-up TO the date of annexation, In
fact-a keen rivalry existed between the
two factions of Anglo-saxon residents.
The Americans had the advantage of the
prestige attaching to pioneers who had
done much for the development of the
country. while the British derived great
influence from the marriage OF one or
two men OF that nationality with mem

Because they refused to take part in
the Christmas exercises, twenty-five
Jewish girls in the graduating class OF
public school No. 141, were notified that
they would not be allowed to participate
in the commencement to be held the latter
part of this month. Not to be outwitted
by the principal who made this order,
the girls have decided that unless they
are permitted to participate in the exer-
cises they would hire a hall, at their own
expense. near the school, and conduct
commencement exercises of their own.
Several prominent citizens Of Brooklyn:
where the school is situated, have eX
pressed their willingness to preside and

forty-fve girls and with the Jewish
girls not taking part the class will only
consist Of twenty members.

The Rev. Madison c. Peters OF this
city has to-day issued an article showing
the work done by charitable organiza-
tions in this city. The minister lays
special stress on the work done by the
Salvation Army and the United Hebrew
Charities, and Of the fine record of this
institution he says as follows:
Fine Record Shown by United Hebrew
Charities:
The second benevolent institution to
claim my attention was the United He
brew Charities, whose building is stu
ated at Twenty first street and Second
avenue. There can be no question OF
doubt that this organization is doing a
good an excellent work for its brethren
of the ancient faith who have gone under
in the struggle.
Here, as at the Salvation Army. every
facility was given me for a full investi-
CATION. The superintendent extended
every courtesy to my secretary and told
him that he would be pleased to answer
any question relative to the work. The
annual report speaks for itself. The
business methods of this organization
excel all others of the kind and are GER
tainly worthy of emulation. 1t has ANAL
gamated all the lesser branches Of the
outdoor work.
For the year 1905 the total receipts
were 1922, ,127.15, and the disbursements
$27O, ,S26.39; the cost of collecting and
distributing these sums was $47 ,167 .33,
leaving total for direct charity Of
1928, 3,65S.06, or in other words, out OF
every dollar collected seventy cents went
to relief, which is large percentage for
charity, considering the amount of labor
involved in distributing the money.
The $4,000 excess in receipts over
disbursements were used for the payment
of temporary loans and cash on hand
for different funds, emergencies of one
kind or another which arise from time to
time in such an institution.
During the year under consideration
1O,O15 persons applied for relief, repre-
senting A $50 individuals in Jewish
population of about 100000. Of the

as unworthy.
