onah Khi Kalanianaole, defined by his name as a royal chief without measure, created a legacy for Hawaii that is renown, remembered, and revered today. In his lifetime he was a royal protg, a prisoner, a politician, and most important, a prince of the people. Khi was the youngest child of High Chief David Kahalepouli Piikoi and Victoria Khi Kinoike Kekaulike (the sister of Queen Kapiolani), born on March 26, 1871 in Kloa. Khi, along with his brothers David Kawnanakoa and Edward Keliiahonui, was educated in Honolulu and in San, Mateo, California. Khi continued his studies in England and earned a degree in business. King Kalkaua and Queen Kapiolani, to assure the continuity of the Kalkaua dynasty, adopted their nephews, Khi and Kawnanakoa, and named them princes by royal proclamation in 1884. Kalkaua also sponsored Khi for a year in Japan with hope that he would marry a Japanese royal to solidify ties with that nation. The prince returned home (unmarried), and served on the royal cabinet as the minister of the kingdoms Department of the Interior. In 1895, following the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani, Khi took part in a counterrevolution led by Robert William Kalanihiapo Wilcox against the Republic of Hawaii. The prince was charged with misprision of treason and served his sentence of one year in prison. During his imprisonment, a Kauai chiefess, Elizabeth Kahanu Kaauwai, visited him each day, and after his release, the two married on October 8, 1896. Khi and his princess left Hawaii on a selfimposed exile and traveled extensively through Europe. In 1899, the prince served in the British Army in the Second Boer War against the independent Boer (Dutch-settled) republics of Trans-

They bombarded the Irish Secretary, Mr. Wyndham with all kinds of questions, interruptions and contradictions of his statements anent the imprisonment of Irish members. Wyndham's replies, though given in a conciliatory tone, evoked storms of derisive cries, mingled with hisses, and the speaker was kept busy suppressing demonstrations.

Prince Cupid had a walkover in this island. Wilcox was visited with a tropical snow storm of adverse ballots aud was buried too deep politically ever to be resur-ecteThe Hawaiian on the Island of Hawaii came boldly to the front on election day and asserted his divine right as an American citizen to vote for whom he pleased regardless of the demagogue arguments by which Wilcox has hitherto maintained his power In this Territory. The Hawaiian voter asserted his independence. The count of Tuesday's ballot shows that iie has commenced to think. He is showing that he possesses the stalwart qualifications necessary to good citizenship in any country. Let it uot be said any more that the Hawaiian does not appreciate the power of the ballot and knows how to use it as well.

These were Kalapana, and Papaikou. In the Second District the record was even better, Kohala alone returning a preference for the Dead Cocoauut of Hawaii. For the Delegate, this island cast 501 more votes this year than two years ago. The cause for the big Republican landslide may be briefly summed up. The Hawaiians were utterly sick and tired of Wilcox. They were against his leper bill. They were inspired by a genuine aloha for Prince Cupid and have confidence in his ability and good faith. The white voters shared these feelings with scarcely an exception. Palmer P. Woods on the Home Rule ticket ran ahead of Wilcox

The fire was discovered by patrolman McCormack about 2 o'clock in the morning, but in spite of warnings and assistance from police and neighbors three members of the family were cremated ulive. The fire is supposed to have been started with the connivance of Nigel Jackson, whose wife was one of the victims of the fire. Jackson was placed under arrest on suspicion based on damaging statements he is known to have made.
