On Monday, chanters will signal the end of a painful century with the call for a new beginning.

One hundred years ago this week, Queen Lili'uokalani was hoping to revive the political power of the monarchy and her Hawaiian subjects with a new constitution. Her attempt to do that sparked rebellion by men of foreign birth and parentage who sought to oust her and put Hawaii under American rule. Convinced that U.S. Marines were wrongfully deployed in support of the businessmen, Lili'uokalani chose to step aside under protest, while urging the United States to undo the work of U.S. officials who backed the overthrow.

Admired for her strength of character and talents as a composer and lyricist, the queen died in November 1917, nearly 20 years after Hawaii was annexed as a U.S. territory. Lili'uokalani's leadership, sacrifice and dedication are remembered in the name of the centennial observance 'Oni-pa'a, which means "steadfast" and was held by the queen as her personal motto. Over three days, key events of the final days of Lili'uokalani's reign will be brought to life in a five-act drama. Its 19 scenes will be staged at Iolani Palace and other places where the queen and her enemies walked a century ago.

The costumed drama will begin Friday morning at Iolani Palace. Today's opening ceremony at the queen's statue, between the palace and the state Capitol, will begin with a chant and music from the Royal Hawaiian Band. The band will play the Queen's Prayer while Kawaia-hao Church pastor William Kaina blesses the statue. State Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustee Kamaki Kanahele will offer a 100-year-old chant last used when his great-grandmother made a presentation to Lili'uokalani.

Foreign policy experts both inside and outside the government believe Saddam's mission could be twofold aggravating the outgoing U.S.

"Saddam is playing his game to see how far he can push in the wind-down days of this administration," said Bernard Reich, an expert on Middle East politics at George Washington University in Washington. "I don't think he has the foggiest notion of how Clinton and (Defense Secretary-designate Lcs) Aspin would respond. So he'll test. He'll probe." But this past week, Clinton, a campaign critic of Bush's Iraq policy, has been steadfast in his support tor Bush's policy.

"We will not tolerate any violation of the resolutions," Clinton spokesman George Stephanopoulos said from Little1 Rock, Ark. "It would be unwise of him (Saddam) to underestimate President-elect Clinton's resolve to stand with Bush in that policy."
