It was an audience which not only un derstood what was said but caught every point of the speaker and ap plauded to the echo. Altogether Mr. Barrett said that it was one of ths most interesting of the many which h has attended in many years. The scholars of the two schools were called together by President Charles Bartlett Dykn, there being about 225 of them in their seats when the speak er of the evening was introduced by the president. Mr. Barrett was sup plied with maps of the United State and the world and used them freely is the course of his talk. He began by saying that he would not speak in Ha waiian, as to the person using a lan guage when not thoroughly conversant with it. there was always danger that mistakes would occur. In illustration of this he gave some instances of mis takes which he made while first ac quainting him with the Siamese tongue. These were of such a nature that the young people were left in a good hu mor and were ready for the Instructive talk which followed. Turning to the map. Mr. Barrett talked Of the Louisiana 1'urchase and what it meant when it was completed. He showed that there was in the area ferred Is the- Cnited States br France almost one-third of the entirs - .. . a . , area OI me. mamianu siaxes ana terri tories of t!v- Nation. The wealth of this vast territory was explained, and from this topic the talk went on to the importance of the exposition which s to commemorate the centennial of he transfer of the sovereignty. The educational features of the show were discussed at length, stress being laid upon the fact that there will at tend it. according to .-stimates of men who have experience in such matters, some JO. 000.000 people, principally, of ourse. from the Western states and tc-rritori'-s To reac-h these visitors, he said, the people of the Cnited States were now preparing displays of their produc ts and manufactures which will show the wonde rful progress which has been achieved during the century which is past. The prospects were. h said, tliat there would be even a greater exposition of resources and th work of skilled hands, than ever had b en attempted before. The progress of the century causes' the spp&ker to refer to some of the most interesting features of his trip to Slam. When he went there as minister, with out knowing Just how far the people had progressed. There he saw the elec tric street cars on one side of the street, while on the other there plod ded the elephants and mules. Just as tiiey had been used for from time im rrtemi rial by the people Of the country. This feeling of the contradictions was intensified when soon after his arrival at his quarters he was called up by telephone and an engagement made with him. As t Hawaii. Commissioner Oeneral Barrett told the students that the fu ture was bright with promise for the Territory. On the Asiatic shores, he said, there reside 6O0.000.O0 people rep resenting a proportion of the world's population out of size when the terri tory occupied is taken into account. With this vast army of consumers th.-r is now springing up a trade whic h is phenomenal, and the English-speaking peoples are making themselves felt in the industrial development of the hith erto closed nations of the Orient. In the direct line of all this immense traf fic there stands a little group of islands he said, whose future must be greatly affected by the business which will p iaa through the port. He prophesied that there would be an immense amount of shipping follow the route when the anal through the isthmus is made complete.
