and upright Councilor and Officer. For many years in the service of the Hawaiian Government, holding in turn the

Offices of Attorney General, kinister of Finance and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and since the year 1877 of Chief. Justice and Chancellor, he had approved himself in all of

them. At no time of his life were his services and counsel to the King and the country more valuable than at the

The Minister of Finance then presented the Reign of Lil~uokalani: Queen. 292

the following resolution; "After a reign longer than that of any other Sovereign of Hawaii but one, the earthly life of our beloved King Kalakaua was closed by death at 2.30 o'clock th on Tuesday the ~O" day of January 1891. in San Francisco, , United States of America. Failing health for some months past made it seem ad­

visable that He should seek to regain it by a voyage to His late the more bracing climate of California and inspired with Majesty this hope He left His Kingdom in November last. The Kalakaua. voyage and change of circumstances at first seemed to benefit Him but at length mortal disease appeared with increased vigor and He sunk to sleep scarce nine days ago in a foreign land. The friendly ship which the Hawaiian people were waiting for with expectant eyes came this I morning bringing back, not their Sovereign in renewed health but alas, His lifeless remains. The decorations of loyal affection preparing for His reception are speedily changed into those of mourning, and we meet today in the impulse of a common sorrow . The reign of our departed King was memorable as an era of remarkable and increasing prosper! ty .': In the seventeen years of His reign now closed this Nation has ma.de rapid strides in its material industries, education Reign of Liliuokalani: Q,ueen . 293

education a.nd the arts of civilization. But death comes alike to King and commoner and the seventh Sovereign of Hawaii has gone to join the roll o:f the illustrious dead; We humbly bow to the will of God. Therefore, be it

h•"• Resolved, that the Privy Council of state here i assembled, join with His beloved Consort, His Royal Sister and Relatives, and the Hawaiian people, in expressing our great sorrow at this untimely decease of our late King; Resolved, that the foregoing preamble and resolution be entered upon the records of the Privy Council and pub­ lished in the newspapers of this city; and Resolved, that the members of this Council wear the customary mourning for a period of thirty days. 11 The resolution was by vote of the Council, unanimous­ ly adopted. I

The Attorney Gene:t'al presented the following resolu­ tion; "Whereas at a Cabinet Council holden at the office th of the Minister of Interior on the 29" day of January 1891, it was resolved that the Minister of Finance be directed to advance such sums of money as may be required Reign of Liliuokalani: Q,ueen. 294

required for the Funez·al Expense a of His late Majesty Kalakaua; and th Whereas, it is required by the 15 "Article of the Constitution that a majority of the whole Privy Council shall concur in the expenditure of money from the public Funeral Treasury between the sessions of the Legislature when the Expenses the emergency shall arise requiring it; Therefore. be it Resolved, that the concurrence of the Privy Council of State is hereby given to the Minister of :Finance to draw from the public Treasury such sums of money not to exceed Fifteen Thousand dollars, as may be necessary for the purpose of defraying the Funeral Expenses of His late rajesty Kalakaua."
