A JOURNEY TO THE FAR EAST
BY BISHOP E. E. Hoss

by popular vote, as dissolute and un- worthy a scamp as ever figured in any county. On his death in 1891. his sister Liluokalain became queen. In 1894 the better classes reyolted and organized a republic with Sanford B. Dole as presi- dent. The leaders in this movement were largely the descendants of the New Eng land missionaries who came in 1921, and by a sort of moral miracle succeeded in an incredibly short time in effecting the Christianization of the islanders. It has become the fashion in some quarters to sheer at these self-denying men, and to belittle the value of their work. As a matter of fact, they were moral heroes of the first class. But for the intrusion of alien and vicious clements through the channels of trade, bringing in the corrupting influences of whisky and worse things, there Is no telling what the results might have been. Certainly
 It is not right nor fair to criticise the missionaries because the fruits of their activity were to great extent nullifed by hostile forces that lay beyond their control That the sons of these men were justihable in overthrowing the re- actionary government of the half-hea- then and tyrannical queen Is not doubted by any who know the facts. It was sim ply question whether intelligence, thrift and morality or ignorance and barbarism should prevail I say this without venturing to endorse all the methods that were used then or later to bring about needed reforms.
 When the annexation of the islands became living question in MT. Cleve- lands time, l fully sympathized with his views on the whole subject, and ap- proved of his actions, this because had been brought up in the profound belief that the true destiny of tho American people lay wholly on their own conti- nent. The whole policy of imperialistic expansion seemed to me, as clearly as 1t did to MT. Cleveland, to be at war with the genius of our free institutions. Nor have I yet changed my mind on that point. But some things are accomplished facts and cannot now be altered. What has happened has happened. When we took the Philippines-Mr. Bryan lending his support to the scheme-and gave Spain s20, o00, 900 for possessions that we could better have afforded to pay her ten times that much for keeping we were bound to take and hold Hawaiian America as we'll MT. Mckinley was perfectly consistent in negotiating the treaty of annexation which on August 12 1898, brought the whole territory un- der our flag. Now that the Panama canal Is nearing completion, the reason is all. the greater for our retaining at all rfbks our position in this halfway house of the Pacific.
 The population which in the days of Captain cook was estimated 250o00 dwin- dled rapidly till 1s7S when 1t was less than CO., oo0. The white men who had be- come land proprietors. with the aid of the government, began the policy of bringing in immigrant laborers first Portugese. and after that Chinese, Jap anese. Coreans. Russians. and negroes.

All the ships of the Pacific mail and the Oriettial Steamship companies make only one stop between San Francisco and Yokohama, namely at Honolulu in the Hawaiian islands. Everybody knows that since 1898 they have been an Amer ican possession, but not many of our people are familiar with the history or well acquainted with the present condi- lions or resources. At the risk, therefore, of seeming little elementary. I venture to set down here a few general facts that maybe of interest to my readers. These islands are 12 in number: Hawaii, Muai Oahu, Kauai, Molokai. Lanai. NlAhau, Kahoolawe, Molokiai Lehua Ni- pau and Kemha. Only the first eight are inhabited, the rest being barren rocks. Tn fact only the first five have any considerable population. They all lie between latitude IS degrees, 55 min utes and 23 seconds, north, and longitude l54 degrees, 40 minutes and 162 seconds, vast. Their average distance from San Francisco Is 2100 miles and from Manila about 4200 miles. The largest of them is Hawaii, which has an area of over 4000 squaEe miles. None of the rest have more than 800. Being all of volcanic origin they are much alike in physical features being chiefly mountainous with tremendous gorges and narrow valleys. In HawpAii these mountains reach, In the active volcanoes of Mauna Kea and Mauna IIoa, the great height of respec- lively 13N525 and 13,675 feet. In Maui there ard elevations of 10,032 feet; In Kaui, of 525o feet; in MolokAi, of 495s feet: and in Oahu, of 4030 feet. The windward or northeast sides usually terminate il, sea cliffs, which In Hawaii and MolokaS are several thousand feet high. The scenery in many of the gulches is said to be fully equal to that of Yosemite If I could only have com manded months time, I would certain iy have seen all these things with my own eyes. AS 1t is, I must be content to take the word of other reputable travellers.
 By the infallible token of language. the original inhabitants, the forbears of the Kanakes of our own day. are proved to have been Polynesians. It is believed by competent scholars that they came from the southwest at least as early as six centuries ago, sailing by the stars in large and skillfully constructed ca noes For many centuries, however, they had absolutely no relations with the out side world. Europe first heard Of them through Captain Cook, who discovered them in ITS, and gave to the whole group the name of his noble patron, the Earl of Sandwich. On later visit he was put to death. monument com memorating these facts now stands at Kanwaloa. Until a hundred years ago. tbe government was tribal, being ad-
 ninistered by numbers of petty chiefs. fn 1S10, after a succession Of victories, Kamehameha I overcame all rivals, ana became king of the entire domain. His heirs held the throne till 1874, when issue failed, and Kalakema was chosen king

both occasions won by the knock out
route In Ave rounds.
In his twentieth year he fought
FIVE bouts, winning four by the
knockout punch. and getting the de-
cision in the fifth fight.
In 1902 he continued In his win
ming vein. and won four matches In
succession before losing go with
Mike Schreck. II took ten rounds
to account for Burns.
Then In 1903 he beat ten men.
and among them was Jack O'Don-
nell, whom he had already defeated
the year before. On the first occa
sion Burns won In eight rounds;
o'Donnell stood IN for eleven rounds

In 1906 Burns knocked the three

Jack Wren.

Jack Wen, the. man who paid all
expenses III connection with Bill
Squ.es' t.ip TO the United States.
Is a notable sport. and has been in
terested In many Australian sporting
ventures. Years ago, when total
asator betting was engaged in in
hundreds of poorooms In Sydney and
Melbourne. Wren started operations
at Colllngwood. Victoria.
For time the totes nourished
and everybody used TO have their
little bit" on the ponies. Then
the authorities stepped in and tried
to suppress the game. No ordinary
methods could stop the tote" bet
ting, and special law was passed
making the running OF a tote shop"
a penal orense.
Everybody gave the game best
after a while-that is. all except
Wren. He thought out an elaborate
scheme of masked ticket-sellers, e
cret signs and barricaded his place
like fortress. The police could
never Sc ,ure any evidence of bets
being placed, and the tote kept
running along.
In a sporting country Ike Aus
tralia, where there are horse races
every day In the week except Sun
days, II can be imagined that almost
everyone was In favor OF the totes"
where they could place small bet
on their fancy for any race.
Finally Wren bought racetrack
and offered some of the largest
prizes ever put up for ponies. He
has never looked back from the day
in the eighties" that he started his
6rst tote. and now Is going through
to see the big fight--if II comes off.
