occurred on the deserted streets until
a little after midnight, when a surrey
in which two men were seated was
driven rapidly down King street from
the direction of Palama.
Just below Aala street the surrey
turned around and drew up to the side

would appropriate the necessary money, he
would improve the land and make it one

by Appointments.
The officSseeker has become impressed
with the fact that the President is really
his message. Therefore, the lobby was
practically deserted yesterday, as it has
been for the past few. days.
A number OF appointments have, how
ever, been made ahead, aud these the
President always regards. One of these
was MFR. Alexander Squire, a leading

dent, kent over to the State, War and
