Gus have touched upon the question of the
next Presidency. One gentleman of an en-

go even as far as the subject of the third term.
"Mr. President" said he, 1.-THE result of the
elections points Enthusiastically to your renom-
ination and re election to The Presidency"
The words brought smile of pleasure TO the
face OF the President, who replied: 1--WE can't

Death of Major T. q. Harris.

Our community was shocked and grieyed on Sat
urday morning last by the report from Hawaii, that
Major Frank H. Harris, son of Judge Harris Of the
Supreme Court, had been drowned in the stream at
KaiHiki. The sad news was confirmed on Monday by
the arrival Of the steamer. A letter from our CORE
spondent at Hilo gives the following particulars
"He left Kaiwiki Plantation on the morning of
Friday the 18th February Tor Hilo, on business At
5 P. n. he was seen on the Hilo side Of the gulch by
Captain E. Wood and Mr.. Edward Witchey, coming
towards home. It had been raining all day, and the
streams we're up, but not considered dangerous.
Major Harris made q remark to Captain I. Spencer
before leaving Hilo, that if the stream was too high
he would leave his horse and cross on the aume bridge
which is Just below the ford. But unfortunately he
made the attempt and was swept down the torrent
Some few minutes after he was seen Mt the gulch, as
be did not make his appearance, Q messenger was dis
patched to ascertain if he had returned to Hilo, but
soon after this his horse was found some 300 yards
down the stream, badly bruised from contact with the
rocks, the saddle on his side and the loggerhead
broken. Every available man was sent in search of
the body, which was not found until early the next
morning, when it was discovered washed ashore at
the beach Of Honolii."
The RTIauea sailed for Hawaii again on Monday
and returned on Thursday P. n, bringing the body
Of the deceased for interment here. The funeral will
take place at 81 P. N. this afternoon, from ST. Andrews
Church. Major Harris was on the Staff Of Governor
Dominis, and at the time Of his death was acting
Governor of Hawaii in the absence Of Governor Kipi.
He had been for over 9 year past the Manager Of
Kaiwikia and Pauka Plantations. He has been we'll
known and esteemed in this community from boy
hood, and We heartily concur in the kindly eulogies
pronounced upon him at the meeting of the members
Of the Hawaiian Bar, which appear elsewhere in to-
DAVIS paper.
