General Echols was man of command
ing presence, being 6 feet inches In
height, and weighing 260 pounds. Possess
ed of figure cast in heroic mould, he
had an intellect to match, and with large
and generous heart united true nobility OF
soul. Successful himself, he was a true
friend of the needy and less fortunate, and
the laboring man recognized in him SYM
pathetic heart and a helping hand. and his
death causes general regret that is rarely
SO widespread in all the walks of life. In
his family, he was kind, gentle and affec-
tiona1e. the model of husband and a
father.
General Echols was twice married. His
frsi wife was Miss Mary CapertOn, a Sis
ter of ex-senator Allen T. Caperton Of
Union, W. Va. His second wife, who
survives him, was Mrs. Mary Cochran
Reid of New York. He is also survived
by two children by his first wife, MI.
Edward Echols and Mrs. M. Erskine Mil
Ter, both of this city. All of his family
were present at his bedside during his last
illness and at the time of his death. just
fifteen years ago last Sunday, the day of
his death, General Echols lost son, Percy,
a bright young man Of great promise, and
the General feelingly alluded to this sad
event during his last illness, and only a
few days before his death.
For the above sketch of Gen. Echols
life we are indebted to our esteemed cotem-
porary the News.]

STEELE's TAVERN, May 26.-The first
annual commencement of the Midway High
School was held in Mt. Carmel church last
Friday evening. The house was crowded
to it's utmost capacity, there being at least
500 people in attendance.
The exercises consisted. in part, of de-
carnations, Rotations, songs and choruses,
all of which were good, many of them ex-
cellent. Special mention is due to the
KINDERGARTEN Rhymes by the primary
class-Mary and Maggie HUMPHREYS, Grace
Thomas, Christal Myrtle and Hall Hess.
The rendering was perfect and was very
much enjoyed by the audience.
Another very. pretty and appropriate part
was columbia Greeting the Nations"
Columbia was represented by Miss Sidney
Heller, who appeared on the platform bear
ing the stars and stripes. Thirteen girls,
representing as many different nations,
each wearing the peasant costume and
bearing the flag Of her country. came in
singly and made brief address character
ist1c of her nation, and Columbia replied to
each with some appropriate historical al
fusion. All standing together on the plat
form at the close made very interesting
and instructive picture.
The progress of the pupils for the session
was good, many of them taking high
stand on the final test Alex. McC. Ham
ilton made the best general average in his
classes.
The following pupils have the distinction
of being on the Honor Roll for perfect de-
pertinent the entire session-Ethel Hess,
Mabel Cox, Florence Myrtle and Maggie

past, suspended operations about ten days
ago, and are moving all their machinery

ment.
The fine rain of last week and the warm
weather are causing vegetation to make
rapid advance. Corn and oats are making
a fine start. and wheat IS improving. Cher
ries will be abundant, but the apple crop
will be only light.

Over 500 Honolulu people, and
not q few visitors from the States,
were present at the concert of the
Kamehameha Girls School, assist
ed by Professor Berger and orches-
ira, in independence Park pavilion
last Saturday night. To say that
they enjoyed themselves is putting
it very mildly.
The stage used at the perform
ance of ''Meredith's Old Coat" was
still in position and served very
well for the concert. Six tiers Of
seats covered with white cloth were
arranged on the stage.
At the sound of march played
by the orchestra, seated i1nmedi-

girls of Kamehameha School
marched out in two rows on either

Aldrich Estate Contest.

OAKLAND, Feb. 3.-William
Holt Aldrich's attempt to set aside
certain trust provisions of his faith
er's will came up for argument to-
day before Superior Judge Greene.
Attorney Randall and Volney Ash
ford appeared for Mr.. Aldrich,
while Lawyer Droun represented
the trustees. Mr.. Aldrich's counsel
first attacked the notice given
when the decree Of distribution to
the trustees under the will was set
for hearing. 1t appeared from the
record that originally the Clerk of
the Court had posted notices fixing
the time for hearing the petition
for 8 decree of distribution upon a
holiday. 4 second notice was
posted fixing a subsequent day.
Judge Greene ruled that the
Clerks action did not invalidate
the notice finally given by posting.
The attorneys then attacked the
degree of distribution, arguing un-
til a late hour this evening, when
Judge Greene continued the hear
ing until ga N. tomorrow.

Mr.. r. Grayson, manager of the
Canadian Australian steamship
line, wasa through passenger on
the Miowera yesterday. While at
this port he was entertained by
friends. In an interview With Mr..
Grayson on the deck of the Mo
vera just previous to her departure
he spoke as follows:
=" have Just come from Sydney,
and since my departure from Van
couver some twelve months ago |
have interviewed the different
agents at ports along the Canadian
Australian line. During my alb
sence have been principally in
Australia and New Zealand. Be
fore leaving, as showing the popu-
larity of our line, the government
of New South Wales unanimously
renewed its contract with the COM
pany for another term of three
years.
When it is considered that
upon previous occasions the pro-
posal TO subsidize met with some
opposition, the company feel very
much gratifed at the progress made
in getting the contract renewed
unanimously. They are also par
ticularly pleased at the opening of
connections with Hawaii and feel
sure that mutual benefit, more and
more marked. will accrue.
During the past three months
the company has entered into
contract with the government OF
New Zealand by which it will pay
a subsidy OF 100000 if the steam
ers call there. This proposition is
to be brought up at the next ses-
sion OF parliament in New Zealand.
As soon as this is ratified it is
the purpose OF the company TO i'm
mediately build a large swift
steamship. superior in every way
10 the present two steamers on the
line. This steamship will have all
the most modern improvements for
passengers and freight.
at will be the endeavor OF the
company to maintain regular four
weekly sailings between Vancouver,
New Zealand. Australia and the
islands of the Pacific.
IF, as it is proposed, it should
alternate with the San Fran CISCO
Australian line it viii form a fert-
nightly service with Australia and
America via Fiji and Honolulu.
"In consequence OF the delay to
the Miowera in towing the dis
tresSed steamer Strathnevis it has
been found necessary to change
the dates of sailing of steamers on
our line and a new timetable has
been arranged.
''Since the Inauguration of the
Canadian-A Australian line, the bust
ness has shown q marked increase.
The company is relying on the con-
tinued support OF friends in Homo
lulu and elsewhere to enable them
TO develop the service in the way
of increased sailings and new ton
mage"

The Miowera Delay.

The delay in the arrival Of the
Miowera was caused by a break in
the machinery which operated the
fan attachments to supply draught
in the engine rooms. She returned
to Sydney after having steamed a
hundred miles from the Australian
coast in order to have the neces-
sary repairs made.

by the senate with debate.
Mr.. Allison Gep.. 1a) followed with
n reoprt OF the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill. and said he would seek to
take II up at the earliest possible day.
The Indian appropriation bill was taken
up ON motion OF Mr.. Pettigrew. The
pending question related TO sectarlan
schools. Mr. Carter ORep.. Mont) had
offered an amendment striking out the
provision that no appropriation shall
be made for sectarian schools.
Mr.. PETER offered a further amend
ment directing the secretary of the In
terror to provide temporary schools for
Indian children cut of from school IA
cities by the closing of the sectarian
schools. This amendment was adopted
Mr.. Cockrell Dem. MOI then offered

The substitute provides for contracts
with existing schools for 1897 TO tie ex-
tent OF go per cent OF the contracts Of

'And 1t Is hereby declared to be the
settled pOlicy OF the government to

their education otherwise. and the Sec
rotary OF the interior is hereby directed
10 make such provision Mt the earliest
practicable day, not later than July ].

The further consideration OF the Sec
tartan school amendments was then de-
ferred owing 20 the absence OF MIR.
There was sharp criticism OF the
amendment appropriating various
amounts to 100 lawyers In connection
with she settlement with the Western
Cherokee Indians. Mr.. Chandler point
ed out the peculiar features OF the pro-
posed payments.
In the course OF a lengthy discussion,
Mr.. Pettierew. In charge Of the bill,
