Devoted Hawaiians Receive Princess
Kaiulani-she May Marry.

Honolulu, No. 10, via San Francisco,
Cal, Nov. 1.-THE arrival of Princess
Kaiulani caused a fiutter yesterday. A
large crowd of people, principally ma
tives, greeted her at the wharf As.the
princess walked down the gang plank,
the Hawaiians covered ner with flow
ers. She was driven to her home, where
a reception was held last night. 1t is
understood that she will remain here
several months.
A. S. Cleghorn, her father, is quoted
as saying that his daughters visit has
no political significance. Rumor has it
that the princess Is here to be married.
The groom is said to be George Davies,
son of r. HI. Davies, the guardian of
the young lady. Mr.. Davies and his
father arrived few days in advance
of the princess. The elder Davies is a
very rich man and all his wealth will go

IoWA,s FINAL TRIAL TRIP.
Said to be satisfactory-NIade Eighteen
Knots an Hour.


New York, Nov. 1.-THE United
States battleship Iowa arrived at the
Brooklyn navy yard this afternoon af-
ter concluding her final trial trips. It
is said that the performance Of the
Iowa during the trip was in every way
satisfactory and that the board will rec
ommend the government to finally ac-
cept the war vessel. AS soon as the
Iowa was made fast at the navy yard
Captain Sampson came ashore and was
seen by representative Of the Associ-
ated Press, to whom he said:
'"There is very little to be said about
the Iowa's final trial trip. I believe
that the board Of inspectors will report
that the vessel is in every way satis-
factory. They will report by telegraph
to Washington. We sailed south for
twenty-four hours, but at no time dur
ing the trip did we resort to forced
draught. After we had sailed south for
twenty-four hours the ship was steered
east for an hour and then northwest
for an hour at her maximum speed
She obtained about So per cent. OF her
maximum speed under natural draughts
which was about Is knots.

Professor Phelps' Lecture Before Uni
versity Extension Center.

Professor Phelps' Lecture Before Uni
versity Extension Center.
"Kipling" was the subject of Prof
William Lyon Phelps lecture before
the University Extension center last
evening, Kipling being the fourth au-
thor thus far discussed by Prof Phelps
in his course of lectures on Modern
Novelists.'
youth of Kipling as a. point in consider
ing his literary attainments that is
very generally overlooked.
He was born in Bombay, India, in
1866. His education was received in
England, whence he returned to In
da in 1881. ut is hard to estimate the
value of his work. said the lecturer,
because the reading of Kipling has
been such fad. This fad is now dying
out however, and his writings must
now stand on their true merits"
Kipling's tremendous success was at
tributed to two reasons. First, The
fact that he was working in new
field. In this respect his relation to
military life in India correspond to that
of Bret Harte to the mining life in
California. He has now, however, far
outstripped Bret Harte.
Prof Phelps doubted whether Kip
ling's writings truthfullv represented
life in India and read from an Indian
newspaper criticism of Kipling's S
writings to substantiate his position.
The second reason of Kipling's sue
cess is his inherent versatility and
force.
Kipling is better in his description of
action than in his portrayal of char
acter He lacks either the patience or
the ability to portray character. On
this account his success has been made
in writing short stories and not long
ones.
Among his defects are his coarseness
He delighs in the portrayal of drunk
ards. He delights in ghastly details.
He makes constant illusions to bad
smells. He has a fondness for profan
ity, and he is coarse and cynical in his
treatment of women. These faults are
accounted for by his virility and force.
Coarseness and vulgarlty are apt to be
the excresence of men of great force
and virility, just as effeminancy is the
excresence of men of great delicacy and
refinement.

Is JOHN REED THE MAN?
If SO He Can be Connected With Gold
Brick Games.

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE Herald this af-
ternoon publishes a story to the effect
that if the man arrested at Clinton,
Mass, last Thursday as suspected
bunco man and crook, who gave the
name of John Reed, is one who took
ST, 200 from Farmer Wood at Bridge
water, as Mr.. Wood is positive he is,
the Herald is able to connect him with
three of the most remarkable opera
tions in the working of the gold brick
game ever committed in the New Eng
land states, on the authority of one OF
the most prominent and best known
detectives in this section. This detec-
tive states at the time the Bridgewater
case was made public that he was cer-
tain, from the descriptions of the men,
and the manner in which the work was
performed, that 1t was done by the
same gang who secured $500 from a
farmer of Dover N. H; $4,000 from
another in Brattleboro, VT, and be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 from a. Yer
mont bank president.
