San FRANOIS00, Cal., Noy. 28, 1614, The steamship Benicia, with the King of Hawalt on board, is entering the harbor. No preparations have been made for the recep- tion of the King and his suite, but salutes will be fred from the forts and government vessels in the harbor, ; The Benicia will anchor in the harbor, and the King and suite will remato on board to-night, All on board the vessel are well. Sketch of King David Kalakaua, the Royal Visitor to the United States— Object of His Journey to Washington— Reciprocity and Commerce. King Davia Ko!akaua, whose arrival at San Francisco ig announced in the above despatch, succeeded tothe throne of the Sandwich Islands On the 12th of last February. He visits this coun- try on the special invitation of our government, which places at his service the frigate Benicia to periorm the trip from Honolulu. It is his intention to reach Washington as soon as possible; but, in order to avoid the severity of the winter, it ig probanle he will extend his journey to Europe, Kiug Kalakaua succeeded King Lunalilo, whose brief reign only extended a little over twelve months. Before reaching the throne Kalakaua, who was @ high chief, was Commander of the Royal Guards and a member of the House of Nobles. He is well educatea, speaks Englisn finently, and is of polished manners and bearing. He isin important respects a contrast to his pre- decessor—temperate, prudent, of marked strength Of mind and clearness of thougnt. He has already instituted many reforms, and devotes himself With earnestness to promote the happiness of bis subjects. When Kamehaneha V. died, in December, 1872, he urged his claims to the succession, and was supported by considerable portion of the population so deter- minedly that fears were entertained of sertous re- suits, Bot Lunalilo appealed to a plepiscitum, which turned out in his favor and the Legislature confirmed the decision of the people. Neverthe less, Kalakaua lesued a strong appeal and advised that no attention be given to the call for a vote, It wasin the ancient Hawatian dramatic style of janguage and ailaded to the induence o! foreigners over the government and consequent danger of THE TRANSFER OF THE SOVEREIGNTY of the islands to the United States, He promised to repeal all personal taxes, to put only natives into government offices aad closed with the battie song of the conqueror of we group. A legislature specially called for the purpose elected Kalakaua King on the death of Lunalilo, but tne former found in the widowed Queen Emma, a competitor for the throne, who seemed resolved to push her claims to the utmost extent, re- gardieas of consequences. ‘Tne contest was fierce and each was backed by a strong body of retaincrs, There were doubts as to Queen Emma acquiescing in the result; and it turned out that her followers, enraged at her defeat, at- vaoked and set fire tothe House of Assembly. a party of marines from American and English Maen-of-war landed and dispersed the noters aud extinguished tae Names. The new King, our visi- tor, did not for some time consider bis person ‘ree from danger, and rumored toreats oi outbreaks circulated frequently. The continual presence of a United States frigate at Honolulu added to the feeling of security and kept in restraint all dis- posed to turbulance. Matters have recently quieted down, and, as will be seen, Queen Emma has abandoned, at least tor the present, all designs to disturb the established government. OBJECT OF THE ROYAL VISIT. The great object o: the King’s visit to the United States 18 to aid in the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty. It is considered in Honolulu that the pres- ent seems to be a more opportune time than on any previous occasion to effect such an arrange- ment. which, it is beileved on all side, will be of tne greatest advantage to every part of the islands, Public attention, it is said, nas been turned to the subject by the recent discussion on the Canada treaty, and the section of the Union now calling tor that treaty will be more likely to yote for a similar treaty with Hawatt than i the Dominion question of reciprocity was not up for approval. The piauters and foreign residents tn the islands desire reciprocity with tne United States, and in 1856, 1867 and 1869 unsuccess‘ul attempts were made to bring it about. More recently the government offered to cede Peari River Harbor, six mitles irom Honolulu, as an inducement to our government for such a@ boon, and it will ve remem- bered that Major General Schofleid and General Alexander, United States engineers, proceeded last year from San Francisco to the isiands, and made @ survey of the territory and port in question. a bill recently passed the Assemoly, in- tended to authorize the King and his Mmisters to effect a reciprocity treaty wheuever the oppor- tunity offers, without reference to the Legislative Assembly. A provision of the Hawaian constitu- tion makes it necessary tnat any treaty AFFECTING THE TARIFF shall be passed upon by the Asseuibly before it can be binding. The anxiety to have such a treaty Was 80 great that @ majority of the Assemblymen voted jor the bill, alchough Warned that it con- fucted with the constitution. King David when he arrives in Wasnington will, therefore, be free toact as he deems best, and whatever arrange- ment he may succeed in making wul, Do duudt, be ratified by legal authorities in his own coun- try. The islands lie several hundred miles south of the commercial route between San Francisco and Ohina and Japan. They are a station tor the English line of steamers irom California to the Fiji islands and Australia, The most important prodncs is sugar, the greatest portion of the crop in 1873 having gone to Melbourne and Sydney, where the duty is low. The value of the trade be- tween Honolulu and San Francisco from 1863 to 1873, including freight, passage money and cargoes, amounted to $20,000,000, American duties on sugar exported reached $225,000, and other commodities $75,000, amounting to $300,000 annually. The im- orts irom the United States in 1873 exceeded 1,000,000. They consisted chiefly of manufactured goods, lumber, cured meats, breadstuf]a and groceries, The amount of sugar sent to San Francisco increasea irom 282,000 += pounds im 1853 to 15,500,000 pounds in 1872 The total export in 1873 Was 23,129,000 pounds. Tne most melancholy feature in the con- dition of the Hawatan kingdom ts the rapid disappearance of the native population, When first visited by Captain Uook they numbered 400,000, By the official census of January, 1873, there remained only one-eighth of the people. The figures are :—Natives, 51,500; Chinese, 1,950; Americans, 890; all other nations, 1,670; children of LAN parents born in Hawail, 850, The dept of the Hawalan Kingdom is $355,000, THE TWO KAMEHAMENAS IN NEW YORK. Two young princes, Alexander Lunalilo and Lot Kamehameha, wio aiterwards occupied the throne of the Hawalian kingdon as Kamehameha IV. and Kamehameha V., arrived in the city oi New York in re ecaaas Judd, the American Minister, on the 7th Decemver, 1849, They came by way of San Francisco and the Istumus of Panama. The young men Were brothers, aged respectively sixteen and seventeen years, ana were adopted sons of the reigning monarch, They are described as speaking English thorongi- ly; €8 possessing pleasing countenances, and giving evidence of good manners and educa- tion. The object of their journey was improve- ment by giving them an opportunity of seeing and studying the arte and sciences of civilized life, but Mr. Judd was intrusted with the mission of visiting not only the government of the United States, but those of England and France, a serious difficulty having occurred with the iatier conntry in reierence to the collection of duties on wines and brandies. The royal visitors were kindly aud hospitably received, but it appears that @ disagreeable incident occurred on board one Of the Sound steamers, while the party was en route to Boston. A waiter not recog- nizing the rank of Alexander, and judging him by dark color, intimated ratber rudely that he was out O/ place in being seated at the dinner table, It is said that this affront was never Sorgotten, and had some effect in creaung & jasting Unfavorable opinion of the United States in the minds otf aWwuian the Princes, At all events, Kamehamena IV., who died in 1863, Was considerably under English influence. He encouraged the establishment of @ Reformed Catholic Church under the auspices of the Church of Eugtaud im Ms domipions, and bis wife Emma heartily sympathized with bis . Policy. Dr. Juda ana his companions met a cor cal reception in London, aud returned to the pore eer nue oe with i Eines ae ‘nal treatment that Hawait might expect from the British government. QUEEN EMMA'S VISIT IN 1866, Tt will be remembered that Queen Emma, the widow of Kamehameha {V., visited the United States and England in 1866. She proceeded to Wasi in” August, and was most po ecetved by President Johnson. The who is higi accomplished ana red by nature, was treated in every q@arter with the greatest consideration. It is hardly Becessary to at; hat she is very ambi- tious and has not yet abandoned the hope of reigning over Hawaii. be is still a decided power in the little ki om. Emma is 8 dgughver Of Naea, a chief lineaily deacended irom the an- cleut Kings of the isiand. Her mother, Fanny Kekela, was the daughter of the famous English- Jonn Yor the hs band man or Kametamene ‘ Le and whom the con- queror deiighted to nonor, een Emma has consequently one-fourth English blood in her veins. niet As married a high female cl child Her Rooke, & Westy was adopted by Dr. Physician residing in the 1s! 8, and both by ber education and natural disposition is well led to sustain her high position, She gave birth toa son, her only child, in 1858, to the areat delight of ail classes, but he was destined to & briel existence, The Queen of England re- quested to stand as sponsor for the iniant and Senta snitable present ou the occasion. He was christened Albert Edward, atter the Prince of Wales. The boy was prociaimed successor and HEIx TO THE THRONE. The Prince of Hawall died in 1862, and it tx said the sorrow occasioned by his loss had the effect of bi about his fatuer’s death in the follow! een Emma had been named Regen the minority of the heir apparent tn case of oy to the throue; bat when Lot Kame- succeeded his brother ane set up no crown on her own behalf. As might the Indy was well received in England. Sve was the guest of many of the highest families in. the kingdom, and was most graciously entertained by-Queen Victoria. Her visit was made the occa- sion ot raising subscriptions on behali o1 the Reiormed Catholic Mission. The yum of $20,000 was contributed tor the purpose, but of late yeara interest (0 this missionary movement has ialien of very considerably. Up to a recent date she clung to the hope that England would not recog- nize the present reigning monarch, and that Great Britain would interfere im her favor. But in the month of June last this expectation was dispelied by the publication of Victoria's let- ter to King David Kalakaua congratulating him on nis accession to the tarone. ‘ihe tardy receipt of this communication was a source of much com- fort to the opponents of the King, without which they continued to remain hopeful. Queena Emma is now living @ life of quiet and dignitied retirement, und is engaged in managing her extensive estates, There was a report at one time that a marriage was in contemplation be- tween her and the late Lunalilo, but the nabits of thac uniortunate Prince jorbade such a union, and besides the gvod intentions he proiessed when elecied King were not followed out, THR KING. His Majesty is now about thirty-seven years old, and possesses all the @ignity becoming his ele- Vated station, He is tall and portly, and attords a fine specimen of his race, He is known to many Americans who have visited the islands betore he became King, and from them he will assuredly receive & Warm and sincere weicome. THE. KING'S SUTTER. As bas been heretoiore announced, Hon. Elisha H. Allen, Chief Justice and Cuapcelior of the king- dom and Kuvoy Extraordinary and Minister Pient- tentiary to tue United States, accompanied by lon. R. A. P. Carter, Special Commisstoner, ar- rived at St, Louis November 10, and have since visited Washington. Judge Allen isan American by birth and has long been a resident of Hawaii, He 1s known as ap upright and able ofticer, who has worked his way up to his present higa station by unquestioned tutegrity and industry. Mr. Carter is one of tue leading merchants of the is!ana and has displayed remarkable energy in promotin, trade ad commerce, not only with the Unite States but with the Australian colonies, China and Japan, and his exertions have done much to in- crease the commercial importance of the king- om, Governor Dominis is Chiefof Stat, Adjutant Gen- eral of the diminutive military estabiusoment and Governor of Vahu. He is married to the King’s sister, and is described to be in appearance and manuer & earcah American, though born, bred and educated in Hawalt. His father went to Hono- lulu, and sovun acquired @ position of importance. Qu vernor Dominis is genial and gentlemanly, and ig _nigoly esteemed, Mr. Jonn Kakena isa pure Hawalian, He was never out oi the kingdom bejore, and is one of the keenest and most observing oc men. He has distingu'shea himself in journalism, having been editor of the leading paper io Honoluiu berore the accession of tie present king. He was a chosen friend of Kulakaua, and was appointed by him Governor of Mani. He has stood up firmly jor tne interests of the uative population and caused some time since the mis- sionaries some uneasiness relative to tueir hold on the ignorant portion of his countrymen. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATKS AND HAWAIL In the year 1826 Captain Tnomas A. Catesby Joues, commandin: war Peacock, signed articles of agreement in the formot Seager awrite the King of the Sandwich Telands, Hawutaué proiess to have observed this a8 a treaty, but it was not so re- garded by the United States. In Decein- ir, 184: duly commissioned representatives ot Kametiamena Ul. proposed to Mr. Webster, them Secretary of State, to conclude a treaty | whenever tne sovereignty of the King was acknowledgi In support of their proposition toey saia:—‘I'wenty-tnree years ago the nation had bo writien janguage and no characters in wiuch to write it, The nation had no fixed form or regulations of government except as they were aictated by thore who were im guthority or who by any means acquired power, But under the fostering influence, patriotism aud care of His Majesty and that of bis predeces- sors the language has been reduced to a systema- tc form and 18 now Written by a large ana respect- able portion of the people. A regular monarchical government has been organized ofa limited and representative character, and @ code uf laws, bovn | civil and criminal, has been enacted and published, Tie position of the islands is such that tuey con- stitute the great centre of THE WHALE FISHERY for most of the world. They are on the principal liue of commerce between the west coast of amer- iva and the eastern coast of Asia; and such are the prevailing winds of the Pacific Ocean that all ves- Bela requiring repairs or supplies, either of provis- ions or of water, naturally touch at these islands, whether vessels sailing from the Colum- bia River on the north (Valiiornia had not at the time been acquired trom Mexico, or from the distant parts of Mexico, Central America or Pera on the south,’ Mr, Webster replied :—*The United States have recognized the existing authority in the Sandwich Islands a3 a government suited to the condition of the people and resting on their own choice; and the President is of opinion that the interests of all commercial nauions require that that government should not be interiered with by foreign Powers. The President does not see any present necessity for the vegoiiation of a formal treaty.’’ 1t was not until 1849 that the first and only treaty was concluded between the United | States and Hawati. It provided for reciprocal commercial relations between the two couuiries, for the protection of shipwrecked American sailors and furnishing American vessels with all necessary Supplies at the ports oi the kingdom. It also pro- vides for the rendition of tugitives from justice and for entire liberty of conscience for such American citizens a8 mignt Visit or take up treir abode in the Sandwich isiands.
