DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

To the Diplomatic and Consular Offices
of the United States.
GENTLEMEN:-It is my painful duty
to announce the death of Hon. Ha-
milton Fish, which occurred this
morning at Garrison, in the State
of New York. Besides the Office
of Secretary of State, which be filled
with distinguished ability for eight
years, he occupied various other
positions of great responsibility in
the service of the nation and his
native States.
Exalted patriotism and unswerv-
ing integrity characterized his pub
lie career and endeared him to his
countrymen. AS a tribute of respect
to his memory you will cause the
flag of the United States to be dis.
played at half-mast above your res,
pective offices for a period of ten
days.

servant, w. q. GRESHAM.
That is why the Consular flag ii

Mr.. Fish was announced in the
BULLETIN on the arrival of a previous
| mail.

ANOTHER FAKE SPOILED.
Queen Kapiolani Denounces a Lie
About Her Sentiments.

The following appeared in the
San Francisco Chronicle of Sept. 22d.
at is stated that the Queen Dow
ager Kapiolani of Hawaii has come
out squarely in favor of annexation,
and that she saysif the Royalists
pushed their opposition much fur
Their she will advise the natives in
the public prints. No doubt she
would exercise considerable influence
if the annexation proposition were
put to popular vote in the islands.
1t is presumable that the natives
are amenable to reason, therefore if
any one in whom they have conf
dence should placed before them the
advantages of being Incorporated in
the American Union they would
probably cast their ballots in favor
of the project which would mean
prosperity to them"
This is an editorial comment on
"news" furnished by one of the YER
acious Honolulu correspondents.
A BULLETIN representative called
on the Queen Dowager this morn
ing, to ascertain where there was
any truth in the above. Kapiolani
was found in her cozy little home at
Waikiki sitting in her customary
seat on the rear veranda She was
much surprised when the clipping
was interpreted to er,but refused at
first to say anything to newspaper
man, until her nephew, Prince David
Kawananakoa returned from Kauai
on Sunday morning. After while,
however, the Queen Dowager could
not keep her pent-up feelings any
longer, and stated that she has not
"come out squarely in favor of an,
nexation," in fact she has not come
out at all in favor of any political
proposition. She had never seer
any annexationists, nor spoken tc
anyone of annexation, neither die
she intend to "advise the natives il

imagine how such report could &C

ager, "the report was started through
my refusal to sign the Aloha Ain'

and asked me to sign the roll.

roll, as l did not wish to mix up ii

that she was on very friendly term

In answer to query as to he
health, said she was enjoying goo
health, although not fully recovere

The representative spent a quie

conversing about olden times, an

times. She also asked if any new

MUTUAL TELEPHONE COMPANY
Annual Meeting of the Corporation
This Morning.

Annual Meeting of the Corporation
This Morning.
This morning at 10 o'clock the
annual meeting Of the Mutual Tele-
phone Company was held in the
corner room, ground floor, of the
company's building at Merchant
and Alakea streets. Mr.. H. A.
Widemann, president was in the
chair.
There was smaller attendance
of shareholders than at any former
annual meeting for years. Out of
1900 shares of the stock, there we're
represented $40 shares. Besides
the President there we're present
Mr. @. o. Berger, secretary; Mr.. w.
f. Allen, auditor; Messrs. w. w.
Hall, F. A. Schaefer, H. Holmes,
David Dayton and Cecil Brown.
Secretary Berger read the annual
report, which being audited was
adopted. 1t showed a good years
business, Notwithstanding the hard
times. The rentals of instruments
amounted to nearly $4,000, and a
dividend of six and a half percent
had been paid.
Mr.. Allen stated that Mr.. Aungst,
superintendent of the lines, had
gathered valuable information while
in the United States regarding i'm
proved means of running conductors,
so as to avoid electric light wires in
duction, until circumstances or the
laws Of the land may require the
laying of the wires under ground.
Mr.. Allen thought that in view of
the superintendent services, on
which he was prepared to make a
special report, his expenses amount
ing to $243.75 should be paid by the
company. He made a motion &C.
cordingly, the money to be paid after
receiving the report.
The secretary quoted decision
of the directors, when Mr.. Aungst
was leaving, to grant him leave OF
absence but not his expenses, owing
to the short time he had been en-.
ployed.
There being general agreement
that his work for the company while
away should be recognized, the mo
ton carried.
Mr.. Berger asked Mr.. Hall if the
wires of the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany were not to be insulated.
Mr.. Hall answered they we're not
but the voltage was so low tha
there would be no danger from
them.
Mr.. Berger said if they fell on tn
telephone wires they would play tn
mischief with their service all tn
= same.

GREAT SOCIETY SENSATION.

To be or not to be, that is the question.
We mean In this case 20 be married or not
to be married, and upon this issue hangs
a law suit which will make the celebrated
breach of promise suit OF "Dovey" against
the Arbuckles coffee man by comparison
a mere nursery tale.
In short, then, we are to have the great
est breach of promise case that has ever
been submitted to jury in this country.
Such cases are often simply amusing and
harmless. and when the principals, as in
this case, are society leaders and FOR years
have been models of moral proprie,y, it
seems like vandalism to disturb the
serenity Of such pure lives and to expose
the delicate mechanism OF the woot and
warp of wonan's love 20 the relentless
rules laid down by Bishop on marriages
and their contracts We still hope this
case may not go into court. The attor-
peys on both sides stand at the head of the
bar aud this gives US hope of a compromise,
for such men are always willing TO sacr.-
fee a fee to conceal cnsprsr which never
should have been written.

HOW OK WHY NOT.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The irrigating convention having met In
our city and adjourned it, or they, have
set people who are interested in such mat
tiers to thinking. New ideas are formed,
new plans are laid and new pumps and
pumping machinery are being studied
over. Therefore l would like to ask
question or two through the columns Of
good substantial dam built at, or near the
mouth of the Little River, in this city?
What process of law would have to be con-
formed with, or gone through with in or
der to obtain this? If it is true that the
higher the water in the river,
Chat is the natural leveD the
nearer the surface of the adjoining
lands water can be had, why would
not this cause sub-irrigation to great ex-
tent in all lands on either side Of this fine
stream of water? If good dam were to
be built near the mouth of the river, no
one north or south would have cause for
complaint after the river bed was full.
because there would be a steady depth of
water all the time. Of course, fording the
river would come to an end, but in these
OAyS Oi DIluEes, every liillC VI lCoo, tudo ID
no reason against the matter. This would
also improve the fishing value Of this
stream, in fact make it better in every
way, and give employment to several men
who need the work. Riverside park would
be u much pleasanter place, and the lovers
of boating would find much more enjoy
ment than is possible at tine present low
stage of water. There are many reasons
why this shonld be done, even outside of
the sanitary results which might be de-
rived therefron.
AS talk is cheap. especially at this season
Of the year, let US have your opinion of
the matter. as well as some others.
Yours. respectfully,

A NOTABLE GATHERING OF SALIVA
TON ARMY PEOPLE
An, Important Meeting Of the Faithful
With Major sully at Thsir Head.
A Grand Parade Last Night
With Music and
Fireworks

Inc Salvation Army mas taken tne city.
! Blue bonuetted lassies are here from
every part of Kansas and Oklahoma, and
redeemed" men from all over are present
to testify before the people OF Wichita how
| they have been saved.
Last night a torchlighi procession was
held on Main street and Douglas avenue,
and was watched by large crowd.
| Major Sully is present aud rode on horse
back at the head OF a chestnut charger
| with red cape swinging from his shout
ders, reminding one of some knight of old
| marching to battle minus the armor.
Torches were carried by the soldiers, and
| at the crossing OF each street red and blue
lights were made that lent wierd ap-
pearance to the marching column. A
brass band headed the procession. after
Major Sully. and it furnished better music
than is usually heard in a Salvation Army
parade.
On the corner the usual street services
were held and was not only interesting
but truly touching TO see the men and
women and hear the accounts they gave
of themselves. Some mighty earnest
talks were made and every one participant
ing seemed to be filled with the Joy of
conscious salvation.
The occasion for the present big meeting
in the city is the opening OF the Salvation
Army council which took place yesterday
in the auditorium of the Young
Mems Christian association building.
The council is secret matter
and is probably one OF those
district congresses in which the affairs of
the army in specific jurisdiction are dis
cussed by the officers. Only part of each
day is devoted to the council and the re-
mainder is put in in religious exercises.
The meeting last night was quite inter
esting. Music and singing was INDUCED
in, personal testimony was offered and
subjects for discussion were introduced.
Every feature of the program was OF
bright, brief crisp character.
Today the officers will meet for private
council at 10 o'clock a. m. IN the army hall
and AT O'Clock D. IN. there will be public
holiness meeting, and in the evening
demonstration at the II. NJ. c. A. hall.

But the expenses of fair for next season
would be light comparatively. Besides a
large amount of valuable property, or at
least that which would cost several thou
sand dollars to replace, is all ready to be
utilized. There is only one place in the
state where big fair can be successfully
held, and that is at Wichita. Wichita
could get up fair that would bring south
