It shows how matiers imme- | diately preceding the Hawaiian revolution were | regarded by a visitor to the islam The writer was the guest of the family of Chief Justice Judd im Honolulu at the time that the Hawaiian queen was deposed. Hiosoucre, H. L, January 16, 1 When I last wrote the political horizon | showed no especial cause for anxiety. Good | people neither liked nor trusted the queen. The | opium bill had passed, and was awaiting the queen's veto or signature. A comu ladies, of whom [ was one, had interviewed her te her not to sign, but to veto it, On day hac it in charge that the lottery bill would not be brought up this session, several of the good, | honest souls believed them, and foolishly went |awey to their homes in other islands, The | United States steamer Boston took Mr. vens | (United States minister) up to Hilo to visit the oleano, The lottery bill was sprung upon the house <when one man had been sent out to attend to }some necessary business, when another had been summoned by a forged mandamus to «p- pear at once in court on a civil claim, and was gotten through by a majority of two votes. ‘This made acute people suspect that something | was afoot. | That day (Tuesday) the legislature sent a | message to the queen that they would be ready | to be ‘prorogued on Thursday. She replied that she would prorogue them on Saturday at noon. Judge Judd said: ‘Be on the lookout ‘want of confidence’ vote and change of nistry.” It was an excellent ministry, the really fine one since early in Kalakaua’s The vote was brought up Thursday and earried—25 to 20,1 think.

But. poor queen, none of the foreign ladies went. It was prearranged by telephone, because that morning the queen iaad sent back te the ministers the odious opium and lottery bills signed, and because there was | almost a certainty that ‘she would do what she | proceeded to. "The prorogation specch was | pleasant and right enough.

The queen also had a proclamation | im ‘Hawaiisn, in which she anid sho would. in | future act according to law, but notifying them | to elect a legislature whch would carry out ber | wishes and theirs. About a thousand natives ttended the queen's meeting, a much larger | number than that of the citizens.

Tae meetings dis persed quietly. | ‘THE LANDING OF THE DOSTON's MEX. | About 5 p.m. 300 United States troops from the Boston landed and took positions at com- manding points. The full fire department was out. During the night two fires were kindied by natives, but were seen, one extinguished and the other kept from spreading beyond the barn where it was set. | Tuesday morning there was a feeling of strong | but suppressed excitement. Most children were | Sent to school, but orders were given to the schools to close at noon. About 2 o'clock Mrs. | McCully drove down town, but took her re- | sponsible German outside man instead of hold- | ing the reins herself, with only the small China | boy to hold the horse when we stop) Many natives were clustered here and there, mostly | with gloomy faces, some with bright ones. | Business was Ata stand still Just then troops and ammunition were landed. A call bad been | tssued asking ali loyal citizens who had mus- | kets or ammunition to bring them to the armory. In answer to this call everybody from boys of seventeen to white-beaded ‘men’ came to the great space between the government house and the palace. THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. The wemmittee of thirteen read a proclama- ion vefting forth the misdeeds of the late king d of the queen from a governmental point of not touching upon their private lives at This gave their reasons for abrogatin monaretical government, which they pecker | | todo. Then a prov al government was an- | nounced, with ministry of four and a conueil | of fourteen to carry it on. Martial law was | proclaimed. All persons holding office under the former government, except Litiuoknlani, | the four ministers and the marshal, were re quested to remain in office and continue their funetions. ‘The declaration was made that all laws not inimical to the above statements would continue in force: that the United States, in the person of ite minister, had approved of these steve; that further srrangemenis would be pro- mulgated as made. A demand was made to the marshal to deliver up the police head- quarters, the police and soldiery. He de- murred, but aecompanied Mr. Sam. Damon to the queer. At first both held ont, but after an hour submitted, the queen sending a written rotest. ‘The new government took possession of the troops, the police and everything but the | palace.

There is no doubt but what it was very generally shared by the recipients of these | farewell testimonials and “those who go this time are not happier than those who stay be- hind,” all the old rhymes to the contrary. It is always complimentary to the city folks that those in high places feel badly when the | time comes for them to depart, as, on the other , hand, the residents owe many pleasant memo- ries to those who have been with ts the past four years. In some respects those who are g6- ing away will think the days very long indeed that will intervene between now and the 4th of | March. By the day after the inauguration and perhaps before it there will scarcely be any of the present cabinet families in town. President Harrison will remain at the White House until he turns it over to his successor on | the morning of the 4th of March, According to the present thought Mrs. McKee and her A short, thickset gentleman with a bushy, sundy beard and a very bald head was in decp distress before the hatrack of the Normandie at dinuer hour last evening.

The only member of the cabinet who is really going to indulge in’ a genuine frolic after his official hte is over is Mr. Wanamaker. He will | start almost immediately on a trip through the | south, the southwest and down to Mexico. He will travel in « private car and will be accom- panied by his wifeand danghters. The trip will be made leisurely and arranged so as to give the | greatest possible chances for rest as well us | for enjoyment. Mr. Wanamaker has not in- | dulged in vacations to any extent since he came into the cubinet and he feela that he needs a holiday. His daughters are very enthusiastic over the trip, as it will be their first glimpse of the country over which thoy will travel.

Be ginning with December first, Mrs. Mayo Hazel- tine had the pleasure of’ starting the ball going with her ten on that date. Miss Hutch- inson’s tea for young people on the 3d. was the very first bid the younger circle had to come together. Secretary and Mra, Foster's diplo- | matic Monday evenings commencing in De- | cember ran through the season till February. ‘The teas given by Mrs. Crosby, Mrs. Belknap, Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Whittemore, Mrs. Wendling, have their delightful to after they leave Mrs. Walcott and Mrs. Fuller all introduced their debutante daughters. Other promment events in December were the round of dinners iven in honor of the Spanish minister and Mra, iecay de Lome, the Chilton-Tarr wedding, Mrs, Acosta’s ball, the dinners given by Secre- tary and Mrs. Foster. dinners and luncheons by Mrs, Outhwaite, the first meeting of the danc- ing class, &c., and last, but by no means the least, the fancy dress ball given by Mr. and Mrs. John R. MeLean on New Year's ave. ‘The six weeks of the regular season have been nearly as busy. The Bachelors’ German Club has given its three assemblies, the dancing class hay had its second meeting and bails have been given by Mrs. Elkins, Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Brice, Mrs. McMillan, ‘Mrs. Warder,” Mrs. | Bloomer, Mrs, Hoban and Mrs. Cuble. ‘The | dinner dance was a great success, Some of the dinners which have made the season one of especial interest to dfners out were given by Secretary and Mrs. Elkins, Senator and Mra, Brice, Mr. and Mre, James F.

Miss Wanamaker gave her second tea yester- aay afternoon to bring her young friends t gether and the house wae crowded. As usual the costliest tlowers decked the rooms and made fragrant the air. In the picture gallery the Hungarian band plaved toan appreciative aud ence and every one lingered till the last possi- bie moment. "Miss Wanamaker wore one of her prettiest gowns, white satin with sleeves of pink Yelvet. Mrs, Wanamaker. Mrs, Brown, Miss Morgan, Miss Katherine Brice, Miss Deering and Miss Edie were all receiving. Nearly the same guests of last week were present again. Senator and Mra, Gibson will find the halls in this city inadequate for their social occasions if the list of their friends continues to increase and they could ever succeed in getting them all together. ‘There does potseem to be any doubt but that every invitation was accepted for their reception last night. The ball room Shoreham was tastefully decorated, but there were too many charming people present to give anything but their personal attention, ‘The hostess made a picture in her elegant robe of black velvet with elaborate jet gar- mature, Mrs, Semple received with her mother, wearing a gown of white satin and blue velvet.
