KAMEHAMEHA IV PROCLAIMED.
After a serious illness of five or six days, His Majesty, Kamehameha III, expired at His Palace on Friday, Dec. 15th, at fifteen minutes before 12 o’clock. He was born on the 17th of March, 1813, and was consequently forty-one years and nine months old.
This painful event was immediately made known by hoisting the Royal and National Standards at half mast, and by the firing of minute guns, corresponding with the age of his late Majesty, from Punch Bowl battery.
As soon as the news spread, the flags on shore and afloat were all set at half mast, and places of business were closed. Large numbers of people assembled near the palace and testified their grief by loud and heartfelt wailing.
At half-past 12 o’clock, His Excellency the Governor of Oahu, escorted by a company of Guards, caused the official Proclamation given below to be read, in Hawaiian and English, at the corners of the principal streets of Honolulu. The proclamation of His Majesty, Kamehameha IV, was received with shouts from the people and evident satisfaction, wherever it was made known.
Minute guns were fired by the U. S. S. St. Mary’s yesterday between 1 and 2 o’clock, and the Trincomalee was firing in like manner when we went to press.
The time for obsequies of His late Majesty has not yet been fixed upon.

Mr. Campbell Wants It Hauled Down.
On Saturday the Executive Committee of the Annexation Club swung the American flag across Merchant street, from the Campbell block to McInerny’s building. News of the proposed raising of the flag reached the ears of the proprietor of the structure first mentioned, and the following letter, which he sent to the committee, would seem to indicate that he did not quite like the contemplated ornament to Merchant street:
Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands,
March 25th, 1893.To the Executive Committee, Annexation Club.
Sirs: I hereby protest against and forbid you using the sides of any part of the top of my buildings for the purpose of sticking streamers or flags across Fort or Merchant streets.
You are entitled to, and I am perfectly willing to accord you, quiet possession of room No. 6, rented to you, but I most distinctly deny to you any privileges outside of the occupancy of said room.
If my actions do not meet with your approval, and you so desire, you can vacate said room No. 6 and I will remit you rent in proportion.Yours, etc.,
James Campbell.
J. H.
Room 6 which is now the headquarters of the Annexation Club, is the old Chamber of Commerce room and does not open upon Merchant street. The committee therefore applied to the American Consul for permission to use one of his windows for their lines. The permission was of course at once accorded, and this circumstance also being brought to Mr. Campbell’s notice, he sent the Consul a letter of like purport to the above, but omitting all reference to leaving the building.

Mr. W. N. Armstrong
Again.
Mr. W. N. Armstrong has adopted the position of lecture and political teacher in the country and we have no doubt that he feels very proud of the audience that gathers around him in the Club and in the League. We have received a number of communications asking us who this Mr. Armstrong is an although his importance—as viewed by himself—has never dazzled our optics we are able to furnish a little information about this would be professer in national and political science as far as his connections with the Hawaiian Government is concerned.

Kalakaua and Liliuokalani Responsible for Heathenism.
CONVERTS AMONG THE NATIVES.
Great Hopes for the Hawaiians Now that They Are in the Enjoyment of a Pure and Free Government—Officers of State are Especially Praised.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The Rev. Robert Stewart McArthur delivered a sermon in the Calvary Baptist church last night on “The Responsibility of Kalakaua and Liliuokalani.”
After referring to the characteristics of the Hawaiians he quoted figures to show the falling off in the number of Christian converts among the natives since the reign of Kamehameha V, who removed all restraint from the Hula masters and Kahuna influence and thereby sided the spread of idolatry.

The reverend McArthur who was a devoted friend and follower of Chief Justice Judd, abuses Queen Liliuokalani because the so-called Hale Naua Society, existed during the reign of her brother. We are told that the Hale Naua Society was a heathen institution and that it was decidedly opposed to good morals and good government. We do not know how Mr. McArthur has gained his information as he was never initiated into its ranks. We desire to say that the Hale Naua Society was similar to the foreign secret societies of which King Kalakaua was a leading member. The Hale Naua had its rites and indulged in the usual mummery of the lodges which are tolerated and even celebrated here. The man who says that the society in question practiced immoral rules or undesirable rites is a liar. The aid-de-camp to the President of Hawaii, Major C. P. Iaukea, was a prominent member of the society. The “missionary” interpreter at the Supreme Court, Mr. Luther Wilcox, was the only “white” member of the society. Mr. John Ena, a prominent virtuous Councillor of State, knows all about the society in question. Chief Justice Judd would have been only too willing to become a member of the lodge, but would of course have been blackballed; and under such circumstances Hawaii is against being abused by the “Echo” of Mr. Judd, the very Reverend Mr. McArthur. Don’t the paid hirelings of our missionaries do more harm than even the filibusters and the Sheridans and Underwoods?
