Hawaiian 'Islands and their dependencies
to a foroiyn power, namely,
to tho United States of Auiarica.
7 That your memorialists have
learned with grief and dismay that
the President of tho United StatoH
hi entered into, and submitted for
ratification by the United States
Seuate, a Treaty with the
of the Republic of Hawaii,
whereby it in proposed to extinguish
our existence as a Nation, and to
annex our torritory to the United
States.
8 That tho Hawaiian people,
during more than half a century
prior to the events hereinabove recited,
had been accustomed to
in tho Constitutional forniB
of Government, in the election of
Legislature, in toe administration
of justice through regularly constituted
magistrate?, courts and
juriee, and in the representative
administration of public nffiirs, in
which the principle of government
by mj inties has been acknowledged
and (irmly established.
9 That jour memorialists humbly
but fervently protest against the
consummation of this invasion of
their political rights; nud they
oaruestly appeal to the Presidont,
the Congress and the people of tho
United States, to refrain from further
participating in the wrong so
proposed; and they invoke in support
of this memorial the spirit of
that immortal Instrument, the Declaration
of Amorican Independence;
and especially the truth therein ex
pressed, that Governments derive
their just powers from tho consent
of tho governed, and here
repeat that tho consent of the
people of tho Hawaiian Islands
to the forms of Government
imposed by the so-called Republic
of Hawaii, and to said proposed
Treaty of Annexation, has never
been asked by and is not accorded,
either to Baid Government or to said
project of Annexation.
10 That tho consummation of
the project of Annexation dealt with
in said Treaty would be subversive
of the persoual and political righto
of these memorialists, and 'of the
Hawaiian people and Nation, and
would be a negation of t'he rights
and principles proclaimed in the
Declaration of American Independence,
in tho Constitution of the
United States, and in tho schemes
of government of all other civilized
and representative Governments.
11 Wherefore your memoiialista
respectfully submit that they, no
less than tho citizens of any American
Commonwealth, are entitled to
select, ordain and establish for
themselves, such forms of Government
as to them shall seem moBt
likely to effect their safety and
happiness; and that questions of
such moment to tho Hawaiian
as are proposed to be sottled by
said Treaty, are questions upon
which said people have tho right, in
the forum of Conscience, to be
heard; and that said Hawaiian
have thus far been denied the
privilege of being heard upon said
quostions.
12 And your memorialists humbly
pray the President, Congress
and tho people of tho Uuited States,
that no further stops be taken toward
the ratification of Baid Troaty,
or toward the extinguishment of tho
Hawaiian Nationality, or toward the
absorption of the Hawaiian poople
and territory into the body politic
and territory of tho United States
of Amorioa, at least until tho Hawaiian
people, as represented by
thoee oilizens and residents of the
Hawaiian Islands who, under tho
provisions of the Hawaiian Constitution,
promulgated July 7, 1837,
would ho qualified to vote for representatives
in tho Legislature,
shall have had the opportunity to
express at the ballot box, their
wishes as to whether such project of
Annexation shall be accepted or ro
jeoted.
10 And your memorialists, for
themselves, and in behalf of tho Hawaiian
people, and of the residents
of tho Hawaiian Ialauds, pledge
their faith that if they shall bo accorded
tho privilego of Toting upon
said questions, at a freo and fair
election to be hold for that
purpose; and if a fair count of
tho votes that shall lie cant at such
election shall -show a majority in
favor of such Annexatiuu, these
memorialists, aud tho Hawaiiau people
will yield a ready and cheerful
acquiescence in said project.

An Anglo Indian writer Bays: "1
remember this Prince (a prince not
only in titlo but in every sense) when
Iih was a little chap at school in the
ijkumar College at Rijkoto (in
Kathiwar, a morry province whore
you meet a 'king' rouud every corner.
An independent king, too, with the
power of life and death over his own
auljects). I wo3 present when ho
made his debut on tho cricket
ground an one of tho Oollogo E'ovou
in a match against tholtijkoto Club,
The lad, though only a trifle higher
than a full-sized crickot bat, was
very keen on cricket, and ho was
oucouraged, in this direction in
every conceivable way. I am not
going into the details of the game I
allude to, my object being merely to
relato a laughable inoidont personal
to Ratijltsinbji. He went in last for
his side in the first innings, but, his
partner being bowled immediately,
tho little lad never got a ball. We
all went off to the tifliu tent when
tho last wicket fell, but Ranjitsinhji
stolidly held his ground. The principal
of his collego told him to follow
every ono else. Ho stubbornly refused,
saying ho had not had an innings.
After much explanation of
the . rules of double wickot, and
persuasion, the disappointed Prince
retired, but weeping bitter tears.
In tho second innings of tho
he was sent in first wioket,
aud he defied all our bowling,
making (if I remembor right) oror
-10 runs, A facetious reporter of
this match, in alluding to
refusal to leave his wicket
in the first iunings, most happily
paraphrased 'Casablanca' when ho
wrote:
"'Tho boy stood on tho burningplain,
Whence all but ho had fled.'
Ranjitsinhji has fullr verified the
prognostications of his early friends
as to thp figure ho was destined to
out in tho cricket field if ho lived.
I believe moro than one effort was
mado to poison tho lad when at
school a happy way intriguers iu
Durbar have of removing tho
likely but unacceptable heir to a
guddi. Our hero, however, seems to
be happier in England, following
genial pursuits and onjoying health
and rospeot, than sitting on tho
thorny throuo of Jamnuggur."

of liquors and boors. Attention is
called to certain brands which will
Im of special value to spoitsmeu
during tho game season, as they
