LIBERAL OFFERS POUR Hi
Ainahau and Long Branch Cyclo
me re Transporatlon Commissary-
Whistle Signal.
There was about the same attend
ance for the second as for the first
meeting of the Big 100. The Cham
ber of Commerce hall was filled to
overflowing again at 1 p. m. yesterday
Before chairman Smith arrived the
committee badges were placed on the
table by Capt. McStocker and the
members stepped forward and helped
themselves.
Mr .Smith announced these addi
tional committee members: Capt
Gartenberg, C. G. Ballentyne, F. S.
Dodge, H. F. Wichman, J. Q. Wood,
Theo. Richards, Geo. A. Davis, J. T
Crawley, J. M. Sims, Wm. Henry, J.
J. Williams. J. J. Esran. Frank Davey.
D. B. Smith. Chairman Smith said
every citizen was expected to act with
general committee.
A letter from Gov. A. S. Cleghorn
was read in which Princess Kaiulani
and Gov. Cleghorn stated that the
grounds of Ainahau, Waikiki, would
be open to the xVmericans visitors
daily from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m.
Col. Jim Sherwood of Long Branch,
places his papular resort at the dis
posal of the committee, free of charge.
The Messrs. Macfarlane tendered
the use of the Hawaiian hotel to the
committee.
The Waverley Club offered its quar
ters to the Big 100 for any use.
Senator Baldwin suggested that the
chairmen of the sub-committees re
port.
Dr. M. E. Grossman, head of the en
tertainment committee said his com
mittee had not yet had a meeting, but
that members had conferred. There
were problems as to numbers and
shore leave. Proposals were for ex
cursions on the railway, drives, trips
on the Tram sj'stem. Sports in the
harbor can be provided if men are not
allowed to leave the ships. Boat races
can be arranged. The Tram Company
has six 'busses to carry 150 people and
Smith has three 'busses to carry CO
people. The Tram management can
let the committee have rigs only on
a day other than Sunday and will give
no reduction of fare. There are 15
cars with the capacity of about 600
people.
Senator Baldwin said the entertain
ment committee might arrange for
drives subject to landing of men from
the ships.
Reception Committee Col. Fisher
rendered a report to the same effect as
given in connection with the account
of the N. G. H. officers meeting. It
will be impracticable for the whole
committee to board incoming ships.
Commissary Capt. Ashley said his
instructions, to "prepare a layout" at
the Drill Shed for the boys in blue,
were rather indefinite. The commit
tee had figured on 3,000 men to have
two meals, to cost four-bits for each
meal or ration. The bill of fare will
include ham, beef, chicken, veal,
sandwiches, tea, coffee, vegetables,
etc., with fruits as allowed by physi
cians. ,The tables in the Drill Shed
will be in charge entirely of the ladies.
Senator Baldwin moved that the
Commissary Committee proceed at
once to cook meats and prepare other
food and place same in cold storage.
A. B. Wood thought this was a matter
for the Executive Committee to pro-
ceed with on its own account under
he, atbrity it nas. Capt McStocker ,
took this same view. Mr. Lansing '
called for the motion. Mr. Wood
offered an amendment empowering
the Executive Committee to "go
ahead." The amendment carried.
Finances Mr. Atherton had not
learned if 5500 or $1,000 would be re- I
quired. He said he was certain all the
money needed could be raised. All in
all the committee had agreed that it
was best to have a fund of $5,000 and
this would be gathered.
Grounds and Decorations W. H.
Hoogs said the Executive grounds had
been given for the occasion bv Min-
i?ter Cooper and that both Myrtle and
i Healani boat houses and Long Branch
could be used. Mr. Hoogs thought
the expenses of his committee would
be small. j
Conference Dr. Maxwell told briefly
what the ladies had done and said the ,
ladies wished to know to whom they
should apply for advice and funds.
Chairman Smith read a written mo
tion to the effect that an address of
welcome be prepared by Chief Justice
Judd. Paul Neumann, Cecil Brown, W.
A. Kinney and W. N. Armstrong.
Carried.
W. C. Weedon, for Bruce Waring
&. Co said that Cyclomere, with lake,
grandstand and electric light would
be at the disposal of the guests of the
Big 100 for any purpose.
The chairman announced J. Q.
Wood, Prof. Richards, Geo. A. Davis
and J. T. Crawley as members of the
Entertainment Committee and Capt.
Gartenberg, C. G. Ballentyne, Capt.
Dodge and H. F. Wichman on the Re
ception Committee.
After some discusion it was agreed
that the signal for a "boys in blue
steamer be five whistles. ihis was
Mr. Lansing's amendment to Col
Fisher's suggestion.
Mr. Baldwin
said arrangements could be made with
Manager Hoffman of the electric
works.
The Big 100 adjourned subject to
the call of the chair.
These were the letters from Gover
nor Cleghorn and Col. C. J. Sherwood
Ainahau, W'aikiki, May 19, 1S98.
My Dear Sir: I see by the news
papers that it is probable that in a
few days a number of officers and
men, belonging to the United States
Army and Navy, will be passing
through Honolulu.
The Princess Kaiulani and I have
much pleasure in opening our grounds
to them during their stay here be
tween the hours of 9 a. m. and 6 p. m.
With kind regards I am,
Your very sincerely,
A. S. CLEGHORN.

CHINA NOTES.
Some Jottings By a Passenger on
the Big Liner.
Following are some of the notes
made by one of the passengers of the
China on the voyage of that steamer
to this port:
A most congenial and happy crowd
was aboard. Many nations were rep
resented but nearly all could speak
English.
Hip Roong of the famous Hip Roong
Chinese Extravaganza, en route to the
Omaha Exposition with 19 players,
was aboard. These famous people gave
a performance on the spar deck.
C. M. Wilber, the most obliging and
pleasant purser, had a double birthday
on the 17th inst. This wras perpetrated
by the steamer crossing the line on
that day and Mr. Wilbur was given
twice as many presents as he would
be entitled to under ordinary circum
stances. On one evening came a delightful
concert by some of the officers and
passengers. Major Pickands officiated
as master of ceremonies. All kinds of
good times were had. The music of
the evening was interspersed with gay
speeches.
The Advertiser regrets that there is
insufficient space to run the whole ac
count of the voyage so kindly fur
nished. Travelers on the China.
Among the through passengers for
San Francisco on the China are the
following:

NATIVE WOMEN
KaMeiaia Writes Again
of Competition.
SAYS THEY ARE BEING DRIVEN OUT
She Complains of the Influx
Asiatics-Duty of the Sons
of Missionaries.
of
MR. EDITOR: I again take my pen
in hand to write you a few thoughts
which should have been expressed be
fore this.
In the first place I wish to thank
you for the very kind reception jrou
gave my previous article, but I have
'been somewhat surprised that you
should have mistaken the source of
competition which we Hawaiian wo
men dread No no, we have no fear of
any other woman robbing us of our
just share of employment, it is the al
mond eyed celestial who should have
been kept at the work for which he
was originally brought into the coun
try, who is driving not only us Ha
waiians, but every needle woman of
whatever, nationality she may be to
the wall.
I have been thinking since reading
what you said in comment on my
writing, that it is not so much the
lack of education on lines to insuro
one's support as it is the constant
lessening of opportunities for honest
employment in lines to which we have
been educated and it is this" that I feel
obliged to attribute in large measure
to the unwise policy obtaining in later
years and sanctioned by the sons of
missionaries, and in some cases
brought about by their own actions
I say this without any "feeling of bit
terness" towards the missionaries as
you seem to think judging from what
you wrote in your paper April 19th,
but I say it with the sadness of heart
that comes to me through the necessi
ties arising from endeavoring to raise
quite a family under condition such
as i nave stated oeiore. l can oniy
say at this time that it would have
been different had the sons followed
in the footsteps of their fathers. Soma
of them would not be living abroad
today drawing dividends from planta
tions operated by importtu vassals
but if they found occasion to leave
they might have done so with the
knowledge of having fulfilled their
Christian duty and with the sincere
aloha of those left behind whom by
their example they had shown the way
to a Christian life." By their actions
we hnd ourselves bearing burdens
that are not of our creating and too
often living lives not altogether in
keeping with the teachings received,
but forced upon our people by the
uncivilized elements with which we
are constantly brought in contact
through this wretched racing after
more than one needs. You seem to
think that I write in ignorance of the
distress that women in crowded cities
are subject to.
No, our education has not been
neglected as to reading and thanks to
the newspapers I am well aware of
the distress prevailing in Christian
and civilized communities of America
and Europe and you must admit that
this is to the shame of doctrines of
Christ and the instutions built up
n His Name. You rightly say that
we attribute many or our narasnips
to the haole but it is his selfishness
and disregard of the admonitions of
Christ in His intercourse with U3 that
has created this feeling and not ignor
ance of conditions elsewhere as you
seem to think.
Now Mr. Editor, why did you copy
n the paper April 22d, "A disagree
able opinion by the Washington
Star?" You must either avoid printing
such news or you cannot complain at
us Hawaiians wailing over our con
dition. If a big nation like the United
States asks protection for it3 citizens'
bread and butter and even a little
sugar for their own people instead of j
supporting foreigners, how can you i
feel that we are doing an injustice to
your people by seeking an opportuni- j
ty to honestly earn enough to buy
fish and poi and the many necessa
r:es vour education has brought with
it. We want foreigners to settle here
suh as will come and make homes
and live as good or better livos than
we have been taught to live, but the
time has come whn bringing men
from Asia nmt stop or the very greed
thnt nrmtps the need for it, will cause
its own undoing. I will remember
how in my school days. I was taught
that "Love of money is the root of all
evil." and in the case of Hawaiian
of today it has become quite a large
tree which in restless dreams seems to
me to be root, trunk, branches and
leaves All sugar.
Aloha ka Lahui,
M I SS K A 1 1 E LEMAUNA .
I think your points are these:
1st. That Asiatic immigration drives
the native needle women to the wall.
2d. That the decrease of opportu
nities for native women to obtain oc
cupation, is due to "the unwise policy
obtaining in later years, and sanction
ed by the sons of the missionaries,
and in some cases brought about by
their own action." I do not quite un
derstand your language, but presume
you refer to their approval of Asiatic
labor.
3d. You believe that conditions
would have been different. If the
"sons" had followed in the footsteps
of their fathers, and that, they have
not done their Christian duty, because
some of them employ "imported vas
sals." Here, again, you do not point
out clearly what their Christian duty
was, unless it was to prevent Asiatic
immigration.
4th. And so you believe that by thd
action of the "sons," the natives find
themselves bearing burdens that are
not of their own creating, etc. You
also charge the haole generally, as
well as the "sons," of failing to ob
serve the admonitions of Christ. And
you, with much cleverness, cite the
strong feeling in the United States
against the competition of the Asia
tics. You say nothing about the struggle
for existence all over the world, and
in which very many of the sons and
daughters of the missionaries are
deeply involved, as well as the natives,
but seem, honestly I am sure, to be
lieve that the "sons" are especially
responsible for the hardships of the
natives I know 'that the na
tives believe With you In this, to
some extent. 'It is precisely the same
belief that thousands of people have
all over the world, that their unfor
tunate condition la entirely-, due to
some body else, and not to their own
errors and failures. I have seen some
serious "bread riots" in other places
owing to their feeling. I do not be
lieve that you have carefully studied
out all of the facts in this case, when
you make this charge against the
"sons."
The visits of Capt. Cook, the greed
and speculations of your chiefs in
sandal wood, during the early days,
the annual visits of thousands of
reckless whalemen, the crowds of na
tive women flocking to this port for
immoral purposes during the whaling
season, the thriftless habits of the na
tives regarding their lands, the volun
tary giving up of fishing, and taro
planting to the Asiatics, the wide
spread use of gin, and, above all, the
foolish desire of the natives to aban
don their lands, and live in the city,
have done more to make the condition
of the natives unfortunate that any
failure of duty on the part of the sons
of missionaries. Your own rulers, In
time past, have repeatedly told the
people that unless they were indus
trious, and thrifty, and abandoned gin,
they would go to the wall. Now,
when they are at the wall, as you say,
do you think it fair to charge the
"sons" with responsibility for it?
There is not a native today, who is
capable of working, that cannot get
it somewhere on the Islands if he real
ly desires to. Mr. W. G. Irwin tells
me, and he has much aloha for the
native that he directs that natives
shall be employed in the loading and
unloading of sugars, in preference to
all others, and he says, further, that
he is not able as a rule to get all the;
men he wishes. But generally the na
tive will not leave the city. He does
not wish to cultivate land. He can find
abundance of it on Hawaii, now, but
he will not take it. He prefers Ho
nolulu. The "sons" living here make
it a point to give him employment, but
you would not like to see In print
