Senator Morgan was introduced and was
greeted with great cheering. He ex-
pressed his surprise at the magni flee nj
reception that had been given h IN and
his thanks for the expressions of esteem
that had been showered upon him.
The Senator explained his visit to the
Hawaiian Islands as being to study the
conditions there, eecgra phically and
otherwise. He thought that when a citi-
zen performed his duty honestly he was
entitled to the encomium Of Nv ell done,
thou good and faithful servant" He felt
that IN doing his best to serve the people
of the United States he served them only
inetticently. They were the most power

Union Pacific road, and find $500. 900 oil
