Francis w. Damon was the first
speaker for a country, responding on
| behalf of China. With great elo.
quence he pronounced a panegyric on
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, declaiming on the
immortal honor reverting to Hawaii
for having sent forth the man who
led China to liberty. Speaking of DR..
Suns remuneration of the presidency,
Mr.. Damon quoted an ancient Chinese
motto. saying Dr. Sun would rather
be broken bit of Jade than a snug

he chiefly emphasized was adequate
advertising of Hawaii in Canada,

the world, in his opinion, compared
with Hawaii, they being Randy in
Ceylon and Nikko in Japan. There
