The voyage down was without es-
pecial incident. The weather was ex-
cellent, although the vessel left a whole
week of rain and fog behind her in San
Francisco.
Captain D. E. Friele, formerly OF
the China, was on the bridge when the
vessel came into port. Captain Friele
was taken off his old vessel at San
Francisco to become the successor to
Captain Saunders, 1t is stated that
Captain Saunders is done with the

FILIPINO BAND
To PLAY HERE

President-elect Taft's Philippine Con-
stabulary band will give a concert at
the Opera House in the afternoon and
evening of Friday February 5th.
This band is on it's way to Wash
ington, D. c., to be the hand of honor
In the Presidential inaugural parade
of March fourth, following which event
it will make tour of the United States
visiting all the principal cities. 1t
has membership of eighty-four, all
Filipinos and was organized by Taft
while he was Governor of the Philip
pines.
Mr.. Taft is extremely proud of his
band, and insisted that they should be
the band of honor at the Inaugural
parade To make sure of their COM
ing, he has agreed to defray all their
travelling expenses and promises them
a tour of the country.
This is the same band that took first
prize at the st. Louis Exposition from
such formidable rivals as Souza's and
Arthur Pryors bands. Souza himself
said at that time that he had never
heard a band that could equal tia
rather high compliment from our great
est director. one of its most pleasing
features is the soft tone quality, due
in great measure to the large number
of reed instruments. There are thir-
ty-one of these, including fourteen b
fiat clarionets.
AS the band is travelling without ex-
pense to their management Mr.. w.
d. Adams was able to secure a very
good contract with them, and is thus
in a position to offer tickets to the
public at less than half of what they
would otherwise cost. Tickets are
now on sale at Bergstroms at Csc, SOC,
Use, and 81. On Friday afternoon only,
children under Is will be sold tickets
in any part of the house for soc.

ity of a great people toward the de-
posed monarch of a weaker nation
whose domain and separate existence
they have absorbed.
Through the loyalty of the Hawaii
an people ] can end my days without
actual want; but if this. nation does
not soon act, it will forever lose the
opportunity to make some preparation
for what one of its own Presidents
called an unwarranted act.
Il am now reconciled to the change
of government in Hawaii; but am
too loyal to the United States to be
willing to be the occasion of reproach
to this great nation when future his
torians shall tell how the government
was enriched by accepting without
compensation land it had assisted in
taking from a weaker sovereign.
when in 1893 | was induced to sur
render my authority in order to avert
bloodshed, that action was represented
to me as a proper temporary step till
appeal could be made to the govern
ment at Washington. But, though fif-
teen years have passed, have not
given up hope that this government
will yet make some reparation for my
financial loss, which can still be done
with injury to no one and with honor
to this nation to which | now belong
Il shall employ no attorneys to pro-
secute my claim, but shall leave it
entirely to Prince Kalanianaole, the
delegate from Hawaii, and to those
members of Congress who believe that
justice requires some action should be
taken in my behalf"

George P. Denison will at once leave

JAPANESE AND
CHINESE TO HELP

The japanese of Honolulu are TAX
ing an auusual interest this year in
the matter of the celebration of
Washington Birthday, and Director
Petrie, of the Floral Parade Commit
tee has had number of suggestions
from prominent Japanese residents
who desire to see their people have
a prominent part in the affair. Among
the suggestions made is that there
be a number of Japanese jinrickshas
deliberately decorated, in the process
sion. The idea has appealed very
strongly to Director Petrie, and if the
Japanese think that the ricksha men
will be able to keep up the pace in
the march, they will no doubt be urg-
ed to take part. 1t is probable that
there will be a. number of other jap
anese features.
Last year the Chinese made a great
showing with an immense float in the
form of a dragon, which was one of
the very best features of the parade,
An effort will be made to have them
take part again this year.
Director Petrie. of the Floral Par
ade Committee, has called a meeting
for this afternoon at o'clock, of the
chairmen of the various sub-commit-
tees and others who are interested In
the Floral Parade, for the purpose OF
discussing progress and details OF
plans for the big pageant.

FURNISHED ARMED FORCE.
This government did not take these
lands from ME directly for itself, but
it did furnish the armed force that
enabled others to take them. A Pre-
sident of the United States, in a mes
sage to the Congress, based on care
fully collected evidence, said:
The lawful government of Ha-
wall was overthrown without the
drawing of a sword or the firing
of shot, by process every step
of which is directly traceable to
and dependent for its success upon
the agency of the United States,
acting through its diplomatic and
naval representatives
And now the United States is hold
ing those very lands, having taken
them as a gift from the temporary
government, which it had enabled to
seize them by aid of Federal forces.
Hawaii has cost this nation no.
thing; but, besides adding valuable
lands to this nation by it's acquisition
it has been a source of cash revenue
Although this government assumed
$4,000,000 of Hawaii's debt, the cash
revenues to the Federal treasury since
annexation have amounted to over

lands of Hawaii were divided into
three groups by Kamehameha III. One
part went to the chiefs and people;
another part became general public
lands, and the other became a trust
fund or property for the personal use
and benefit of the monarch and his
successors to the throne. A life inter
est in the crown lands became vested
in each monarch as successor to the
trust and it was a private income,
which the monarch could use as no
saw fit.
LANDS WORTH 512,O00,00O.
During my reign as Queen of Ha-
wall the area of the crown lands was
about 100000 acres; the present va
lue of these lands is more than $12,-
100000. The income from the crown
lands at the time my government was
overthrOwn was over $4,000 per year;
this sum went direct to the occupa-
tion of the throne, in addition to the
privy purse, amounting to $4,000 per
year, for maintaining the royal house
hold
Three separate and valuable pieces
of the crown lands of Hawaii have
been taken for the direct use of the
Federal government. One tract, ad-
joining Honolulu harbor is occupied
by the Honolulu naval station, includ-
ing the coaling yards and two wharv-
es; another is the site of Camp Shat
ter, now equipped as a permanent mill

Some interesting bowling took place
last night at the Hotel Baths in con-

being conducted there.
After an exciting battle the Homo
lulus defeated the Punahous by the mar
row margin of three points, the scores
being: Honolulus 2037, Punahous 20S4
The match was one of the closest ever
contested on the local alleys.
Whine, for the losers, made the best
average for the evening, 1856 2-3, Rob
inson of the Honolulus pressing him
closely with 1856.
The Honolulus were in the hole bad

finished very strongly.
Several of the crack players on both
sides feel down, their scores being not

Japanese in these islands there are
about thirty thousand adults, and SO
extra taxation, for schools, per capita,
from these thirty thousand or more,
would increase the revenue nearly
100000 from the Japanese alone, an
appropriate condition, say those ad-
vancing the idea, for the reason that
the Japanese are largely responsible
for the overcrowded conditions of the
public schools of the islands.
While there may be expected oppo-
sition from many sources against an
increase of SO per year, the money
thus raised woulG not have to be rails
ed in any other way, and if not raised
in this way would necessarily have to
be raised in some other way, by pro-
perry or income or inheritance or 9TH
er tax. 1t is supposed that taxes Will
have to be raised in any event, and
the SO extra for schools, schools be-
ing one of the chief reasons for a
raise, may do away with the neces-
sity of a raise along any other line
unless it is that of the favoraDly con-
sidered graduated income tax.
