its subscribers stopped their. papers.
This blow was mitigated by the fact
that most of the latter, having the
Bulletin habit, eagerly bought up the
editions at the news stands-news-
boys not yet having appeared-so that
the circulation was more profitable
than before. 1t meant about $3.50
inJtead of so cents a month in the
grbss receipts. The Star also had the
advantage of securing the services
of the talented correspondent of the
san Francisco Chronicle, sent here
til report the aftermath of the revo,
lJtion, as its managing editor and
kading writer.

First and most powerfully backed was
the Daily Hawaiian, with Mr.. Mes.
field, a brilliant writer, as its first
editor. 1t held weekly status before
expiring and one Of its editors was
the late Capt. Mist, retired, Of the
British navy, whose family is among
the most honored in Honolulu today.
How the Bulletin Started. i
Coming into existence first as u.
w. Robertson & Co.'s Daily Bulletin. .
the pioneer of present daily journal.
ism-at bit aereIy a bulletin mostly
of shippii4 posted at the book

the later Walter Hill, who made it a
real newspaper. Its first employed
editor was G.. Carson Kenyon, who

promptly handed to the queen at
Washington Place. As the so-called
rfoyalistg organ, the Bulletin had
the bulge on its two daily contem.
sporaries. It was no slight task, how
ever, to take full advantage OF the OPP
portunfty. as the paper was not al
lowed to leave the queens house,
while the composition of the many
thousand-worded document taxed the
energies OF the small staff of hand
typesetters. Being graciously allowed
to occupy a cottage on Washington
Place grounds for the time needed,
the editor sailed into the work Of
copying the message In pencil With
q chartered hack the matter was
transmitted to the Bulletin office In
small patches until finished.
Roundabout News Channels
Another instance of the kind, al
though the news did not break" in
the Bulletins hours, was the tidings
that the United States had recognized
the Provisional Government of Hawaii.
This was discovered In a three-line
cablegram in an Auckland exchange
and communicated by the editor of the
Bulletin to the American and British
ministers the night Of the steamers
arrival from the south.
At It's inception, however, the Star
had the benefit Of auspices much
more suspicious, as wei as ADVENT
tious, than its older rival had at birth.
Despite all Of the political turmoil
from the seventies to the nineties,
under the benign stimulus of the
reciprocity treaty the islands had
greatly increased both in commerce
and population.
An Annexation Paper.
Born as part of the annexation
pfopaganda, the paper came in with
the swing of anticipation of great
prosperity when that stupendous
event should have been consum.
mated. Withal, no sooner had the
new organ of that cause sounded its
initial notes than a boycott was estab.
lished against the Bulletin, whereby
