TAiinin 100 AT IT AGAIN Tie SoMuittees Report at a General Meeting. 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.

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: Dr. E. D. Eaton, President of Beloit College, and Mrs. Eaton, who have been on an extended trip in the Orient.

KERR, Queen St. 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 (Continued on Page 2.) Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and dellcloaa. MR) Absolute!
