Havana, December 19.--The correspond
emit OF the Associated Press has interviewed
many merchants, bankers and other per-
sons. political chiefs and leaders OF extinct

ion seems to be that the resolutions Of the
foreign affairs committee will never pass
and that even though it does. the president
will not approve it or permit himself to be
Influenced in any way by the Advocates OF

here that the good sense of the president
and the influence OF the conservative ele-

The boy was then six years of age. He
was sent to the Royal School, where
he received his education, proving enc
of the brightest in the ranks of that in
stitution. When very young man he
branched out into the mercantile bust
ness for himself upon the site now occu-
pied by All Lo, at the corner of Chap
lain lane and Nuuanu street, continuing
for several years. Later he was employ
ed with Cleghorn & Co., as clerk, and af-

In 1865 William James Smith entered
the employ of the Board of Education

nearly thirty years. and resignin9 in

He belonged to the Privy Council of
State under the monarchy, and was
decorated by Kalakaua with the Royal
Order of Kalakaua. and by the En-
peror of Japan with the Order of the
Sacred Treasure. Since his retirement
from business he has lived very quietly.
He was well known and highly re-
spected man, making himself remem-
bered wherever he went by his quiet
manner but general good fellowship.
Mr.. Smith was we'll known TO all of
the older residents of the islands. Since
his retirement from public affairs he
has resided quietly at his home on Be-

made few friends among the new ele-

Honolulu was less cosmopolitan than it

He had an unlimited fund of anec-
dotes in connection with the early days
of the Board of Education, and it was

"reminiscences.
II is by those friends that Mr. Smith

NEW STEAMER PROJECT.
Kau and Kona to be Benefited

Kau and Kona to be Benefited.
Plantation Co. to Build.
4 correspondent from Punaluu,
Hawaii, writing to this paper,
speaks as follows regarding a new
steamer to be put on the KOna
and Kau routes: There is to be
a new steamer put on the Kau
and KOna routes, in competition
with the |. l. S. n. Co. This mat
ter has been talked about before
but | have it on the very best au-
thOrity that before October the
Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Co.
will have a steamer the size of the
w. G. Hall running here, and
though it has not been given out,
| understand they will cut down
the cabin fare of passengers. This
will be a very good thing for us
poor people, in Kau, and 1 feel
sure the Kona people will also ap-
preciate it very much"
In conversation with two or
three men who are in a position
to know of the proposition of plac-
ing a new steamer on the routes
mentioned, the statements of the
correspondent were corroborated.
Each one seemed to be of the opin-
ion that great benefit would ac-
crue from a elimination of the
project.
