Admiral Miller Carried Him His Commission From the
 President.
Professor Pritchett of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to Prepare Charts of the
 Island Waters.

.. ''1'he first Governor of Hawaii will be ex-President Dole and not MT. Sewell, as recently reported"
 This interesting statement was made by United States Senator Morgan yester- day at the Occidental Hotel to a repre- : sentative of The Call.
 Furthermore, remarked the Senator, VI have the best of reasons for believing that Admiral Miller Is now carrying MT. = Doles commission to him in Honolulu When pressed to give a statement of his reasons for thinking that Dole would be the first Governor the Senator simply remarked that the President knows what Is best"
 The impression given by the tone of MT. .Morgan's remarks was that he possessed . some late information, as a member of the commission, regarding the President's s action in relation to the Governorship.
 AS a member of the Hawaiian Com mission the Senator intends to make a complete tour of the eight islands of the group. Speaking of th1s. project ne said. While the principal business of the Commissioners will be transacted in Honolulu, 1t will be incumbent upon us to Thoroughly investigate all existing condf- tions in the islands, and this can only be accomplished by a general visitation of the various towns and the interior dis questions to be decided that 1t is at pres ent impossible to forecast our action on any important points.
 "One element of the population is Por- tuguese. but" continued the Senator pie than the Spaniards, although they come from the same peninsula. =. twill Professor Pritchett of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey ac- c0mpany the commission to Honolulu" was asked.
 He will probably sail on the same boat. but will have no connection with the work of the Commissioners, replied the Sen ator ''He goes, I understand, to make preliminary investigation for the coast survey office. in fact, to see what work is to be done there. The Hawaiian Gov ernment had a survey office and consid- .efable charting, no doubt. was done. Pro- lessor Alexander, a capable man, was in charge. The Washington office will take hold where the Hawaiian survey left off. It is s'very important to have complete and reliable charts of the waters around the islands. as they will be far more used henceforth by ships seeking port. Trade with the islands will improve. In fact trade between our seaports on the Pa cific Coast and all of the islands and coun- tries of the Orient will make rapid pro- gress from this time on. San Francisco

Grand Opera House.

The military drama of "The Cherry Pickers" was presented for the first time on the Pacific Coast at the Grand Opera House last night to a thoroughly appre- ciative audience. The play takes it's title from the Eleventh Hussars, an Eng fish regiment, and the scene is laid in India during the Afghan war of 1S79-SO. It Is full of exciting climaxes that reused the audience to the widest enthusiasm.
 The plot hinges upon the unholy love of Colonel Brough of the Hussars for Nourmalee. half caste, the daughter of a rich merchant, who Is betrothed to John Nazare, a half caste and aide-de- camp to Colonel Brough. The part of Nazare was portrayed by James M Bro phy in his usual manly and effective style Landers Stevens exceled himself as the viliainous colonel, and was roundly hissed by the audience. The part was played in thoroughly realistic manner and gave full scope to his ability. Lo-

and all cities along the coast will have their hands full in attending to the in- creased trade that will come their way. An epoch of development and prosperity Is at hand. The building of the Nicara- guan Canal will add to the trade impetus along this coast. There is no doubt but that Congress will authorize the building of the canal at the next session"
 Are there any signs of mineral on the Hawaiian Islands?"
 Not a sign" replied the Senator. T never discovered a trace of gold, or of any other metal, during the course of my in vestigations there. The volcanic charac- ter of the islands will account for that fact. No, there will be no rush of gold seekers to Honolulu, even if there should be to the Philippines. Not a particle of metal can be found in the soil.

''"The missions of the various de- nominations are well established The Episcopaltans, Presbyterians and Congre- gationalsts are at work The Catholics have their churches, and so have other sects. There is a Chinese Christian Church and another attended by non- know its tenets. I believe that the Bap- lists also have a church. but am not cer- tain on this point"
 Professor Henry s. Prltchett spent sew yesterday afternoon, in consultation with Iaian charts G he said: WV I've o are eHe abso 5so lutely without data concerning the sur yey office at Honolulu. After I reach the field of operations then I will be able to form some conclusions as to what lies ahead. Probably the Coast Survey steamer Patterson will be detailed for Hawaiian operations. After my return from Honolulu I shall be engaged upon Coast Survey work on the coast north of Mendocino. We will keep at it until the charts of American waters are complete up to the British boundary. At present the Coast Survey office has a great deal of labor on its hands. As you know, our parties are doing a great deal in the way of charting Alaskan waters One of our steamers is now busy at the delta of the Yukon, hunting for its true mouth We believe that the deep water channel into this river will be found before winter. So far we have no party up at Fort Yukon flats, being intent first upon finding the true mouth of the stream for ocean-going vessels"
 It is understood that United States Sen ator Perkins will make trip to Alcatraz today in company with Professor Pritchett, with. view, to locating there a tidal-gauge, for which an appropriation was made by the last Congress. The pro- lessor is authorized to select a suitable site for the gauge. which will accurately register the rise and fall of the tides.

The Columbia

His Absent Son." as presented by the Frawley Company at the Columbia last night Is the most Imaginable and enjoyable thing in the comedy line they have of- fered this season It is a German adapta- ton with French characteristics through out, the dialogue being bright and catchy and the telling situations numerous and exceedingly amusing. The first act ap- pears to be slow and does not indicate the bewildering complications that fol- low in rapid succession in the succeeding scenes. In fact the startling changes of the paternity and maternity of the mythi- cal absent son. and the troubles grow ing out of the efforts of his fictitious fath- CT to avoid exposure. kept the house in a continuous laugh and sent the audience home in very satisfactory frame of mind
 The part of MT. Pennie, the deceitful husband who invented the absent son in order to secure $10O month from the ness" trips to New York. is the center around which all the trouble xrevolves In this, Harry Corson Clarke was very happily cast, for he not only appreciated the value of the lines and situations, but delineated a character in which no part of the fun was lost. In fact he made decided hit Edward Bell. who gets mixed up in the personality of the son who Is not. fits his part well. particularly in his interview with his prospective mother-in-law. Mrs. Pennie. where he succeeds In fioundering out of the quick round him. He keeps the fun moving In a manner much to his credit.
 Fanchon Campbell, as the determined young lady In love, was avery pretty and improved greatly on her previous work The difficult part of Mrs. Pennie was DOT trayed by Eleanor Carey quite commend ably MT. Payne Is an ideal henpecked husband, and has his opposite in Evelyn Andrews as his wife. Theodore Roberts is excellent as the fire-eating, satisfaction Gaa Kanturkian and a Do rt ably helps to bring the relationship riddle to a jolly solution.
 His Absent Son. deserves full houses during its run of week.

The AlcaZaP.

Lewis Morrison, supported by Florence Roberts and the Alcazar Theater stock company, gave an unusually clever per formance of Dumas Camille last even ing to a packed house. The play has sell dom been presented here in such thor ough-going and finished manner. Mir Morrison's Armand Duval was a power full and consistent piece of acting. In the love scenes he was thrilling and i'm passioned, and at the close of the fourth act when he denounces the apparently heartless Camille he reached dramatic height that well merited the hearty ap- Roberts easily eclipsed her former efforts during the present season. Her Camille was worthy to be placed beside the DOT who have become identified with the character Howard Scott was a good Count de Varville. The remaining char acters were well sustained, and the stage settings and costumes far above the average.

The usual large Monday evening audi ence greeted the new bill at the Chutes Free Theater with much approval. Doug lass and Ford, typical song and dance ar lists; Mason and Reed. comedy horizontal bar performers and Gibson and Allen, in new eccentricities, carried off the honors. Anita Simpson Is a sweet and pretty singer, but needs a little more stage ex- perience. Ameldo, hand balancer. and Dick Mack. talking comedian, had novel; ties to offer, and the moving picture ma chine gave a number of new European and local scenes. Cannon. the fat man, is taking life easy after his excursions into the lions den, and received his GUS tornary number of visitors.

Orpheun.

The Orpheum has an aerial act that Is announced that the Hegelmanns would do some acts that excelled anything ever seen in this city many may have regard ed the statement as overdrawn, but the Hegelmanns fully verified 1t by their work last night, after they had made one of their thrilling swings. The first and second attempt at pirouetting In mid air failed and the artist landed in the net amid oh's, but the third attempt was a success and brought forth cheers.
 Miss Lillian Burkhart comes to us with something so out of the ordinary run of vaudeville sketches that her act seems positively refreshing. She Is a dainty It- tie actress and Ter sketch, quiet and un- assuming in tone, affords her opportunity for clever bits of work. She assumes the part of the coy young girl who tries to suggest to her lover that 1t Is time to propose. and she even offers to make the lines easy for him. Miss Burkhart car ries the part well, while her support, Cy- Til Wilber Is an excellent foil in the part of the young man who gueSses at every thing but the right meaning to the hints thrown out to him.

On Thursday at moor a party of fifteen
young people and %chaperones boarded
the train for Lauderdale Springs, where
the First and Second Mississippi regi.
ments were encamped. Each one car
ried a basket that our home boys
might have a taste of the good things
in store for them when they were al
lowed to return. A merrier crowd
could not have been found. When they
reached Lauderdale many happy hearted
soldiers were there homeward bound.
Our party were met by friends who es-
corted them out to the camps, While
they were taking down tents and pack
ing up to move they took great pleasure
in showing the young ladies the novel :
ties of soldier life, allowing them to drink
from their canteens and try hard tack,
Boston beans, etc, while they enjoyed
the delicacies which filled the lunch
baskets. Our boys and their friends
were invited to lunch, also Capt. W.
W Scales, Of whom the boys speak in
the highest terms, and Captains Homer
and Ewing.
After q most delightful afternoon of
strolling around and learning much of
soldier life in camp, all repaired to the
hotel kept by the courteous and kind Mr.
Lille, who allowed us the privilege of his
hall and galleries until IL O'Clock, when,
in company with some Of the N ,xubee
boys and others from ne~ighboring towns
we left the guests Of the hotel to spend
the wee small hours of the night in
quietude.
