HEARTY WELCOME AT HAWAII.
Manila Expedition Given Good
Time ut Honolulu.

Victoria, B. c., June lS.-Advices to-
dav per steamer NIiowera from Homo
u:l June ID. say
The United States transports City of
Picking, City of Sydney and Australia ar
rived here together on the lst instant.
The voyage down was pleasant and the
vessels travelled abreast most of the way,
although it was necessary for the Peking
and Australia to slow up and wait for
the City of Sydney.
Eight cases of measles broke out on
the Australia. The sick men were sepa-
rated from the other passengers on the
ship by being quartered on the hurri-
cane deck and the surgeons had the cases
well in hand when the vessels arrived.
As soon as the three vessels were
sighted all Honolulu turned out to wei
come the soldiers. The docks were lined
with people and as the vessels entered
the harbor the spectators yelled them
selves .hoarse. Such a scene of enthu-
siasm had never been witnessed in Homo
lulu.
When the vessels locked it was late,
so the order was given to allow no one
ashore, but the next morning about half
the troops were allowed to land. During
the day they were given the freedom of
the city. The men visited Waikiki and
other points of interest and had pleas
ant time generally.
At noon President Dole and his cabi-
net received the officers of the expedition.
During the reception the steamers and
the grounds of the executive building
were thronged with people.
On June the soldiers were entertain
ed on the grounds of the executive build
ing. President Dole was on hand to well
come them. The utmost freedom pre-
vailed, the affair being very informal.
To each man the chief executive gave a
word of welcome to Honolulu. An out
door luncheon was served by the ladies
of the city.
The transports left for Manila on the
4th. The Charleston steamed outside and
waited for the fleet which got away
about 10 o'clock, with the Charleston i'll

they took in the neghborhood of 1000
tons of coal
Of the $500 men among the various yes
sells, but two desertions were recorded
and they are from an Oregon regiment.
Two other men were left behind, one be-
ING discharged for disabilities and the
other is in local hospital.

Flanagan of "WhGt Are We Here For?"
Fame Gets Job.
The reappearance as an offioeholder
Of Webster Flanagan, who was recently
appointed customs collector Of the Third
district Of Texas, recalls that famous
incident which made his name known
from one end of the country to the other.
1t was in Chicago, during the Repub-
lican convention of 1880, a gathering
which was chiefly notable for its failure
to nominate General Grant for third
term. Flanagan was one of the Grant
guard" of 306 delegates which, under
the leadership of Roscoe CoN6ling, held
out for SO ballots for General Grant.
But it was earlier in the convention,
when the platform was under considera.
tion, that Flanagan uttered the ewing
ed words which made him famous. j.
M. Barker, a Massachusetts, delegate,
had offered a resolution embodying the
civil service reform views of President
Hayes The secretary had no sooner fin
ished reading the proposed amendment,
which bound the party to the policy Of
abandoning the spoils of office, when
the lean, lank Texan rose in his seat
and in a high, rasping voice shouted !:
"Mr. Chairman! What are we here
for?' The lengthy speech in which he
denounced the resolution has been for
gotten long ago, but the searching ques-

90 stand upright. Heather is another of
tho newest flowers, both white and purple.
Blue forgetmenots are massed in astonish
ing quantities on some hats. Many novel
shapes are covered with shirred liberty silk
in light oolors, also In black. The ar
rangement of these shirrings Is surprising
In some cases. The brim Is covered with
the shirred silk, the shirrs running from
the crown down over the edge Of the brim
md under to the edge of the crown. The
shirred silk Is then doubled and folded in
TO curious shapes, altogether forming what
crown there Is. Flowers are put In the
spaces between the irregular folds and
paradise plumes added to give lighter
effect. A few flowers are set under the
brim to rest against the hair.
There is quite list of new fabrics
shown this week. The most striking of
them is called "opalie" and has In it lit
tie Of everything 1t is like poplin and is
quite changeable but rather more opal
escent. There Is a crosswise corded design
in a canvas weave, and on each side Of this
Is lacelike line inwoven pattern. The
daintiest and most artistic tints and color
combinations are produced In this new
stuff. 1t will be sold for about 90 yard.
A new silk and wool warped fabric is
called eudella. The warp is silk and the
filling of fine Australian wool. This Is pro-
duoed in 40 or so color combinations. IL
is sort of younger sister to eudora, which
is the queen Of all silk warp dress goods.
Eudora is to be had only in blsJk. There
are several new jacquard effects on plain
woods, mohairs and silk and wool. One
fancy Is called polaris and looks like the
frost on the window panes Others are
in flowers, stars, dots and other delicate
designs, all in black.
Landsdowne is the name of another silk
warp wool goods. It is soft and heavy and
drapcs beautifully, wherefore 1t will be
just what is required for the draped skirts
in somiclassical gowns which are quite Of
ten seen In tho most refined homes. Mel
rose is another delightfully."- soft wooden
material, woven in stripes which show
very distinctly, though it is oil black.
Vigoureux is another of the Australian
woolen stuffs and is certain of success. 1t
comes A inches wide and in all the colors
new this season, the handsomest in gray,
castor, drab, beige, tan and the new blues.

The striking yet effective black and
white pekin striped silks are likely to be
among the fayorite silks. These were al
ways well liked, but have not been offered
for long time. Some Of these have quite
heavy reps weave, others grosgrain,
others again grosgrain with MORE sur
face.
The new silks for summer show checks
in block style and also checks wrought by
fine lines in one color laid over founda-
tion of another. The black silk most in
favor is satin duchesse, which will continue
favorite for handsome gowns.
Luxor, grosgrains, rhadames and ar
mures are all among the new rich silks
Black taffetas are not altogether satisfac-
tory for dresses, as they are not rich
enough for grand effect and are SO crisp
that they are noisy, an objection with
most people in a dress. Skirts of taffeta
and taffeta Innings are just right, though
determined effort has been made during
the last year to use lining that gave out
no rustic. Moire velours Is favorite for
separate skirts and moire itself is often
seen for handsome bodiCes and blouses for
evening wear to semiformAl functions
One of electric blue MORE had vest

plating around the edges. The high stock
collar had ruff of chiffon and the sleeves
a dropping rutile below two narrow quill

OF the hats I think the variety is not

the crowns are made OF fluted and plated

These are not hidden by flowers or other

garniture beyond a couple Of stiff quilts or

Some of the alpine shapes have tho brims
Of dark, fine straw, often edged with one

The crowns are of finer straw in light
oolors. On few of these noticed band

A HUMOROUS DIPLOMAT.
The "King Of the Tenderloin" Become,
Consul to Tenerife.

Consul to Tenerife.
The New York city politicians are
chuokling over the recent appointment
Of Sol Berliner as United States oonsui
at Tenerife, Canary islands. They seem
to think it huge joke. Berliner, how.
ever, is very much in earnest about IL,
and he expects to sail for his diplomat
10 post before long.
Sol Berliner is one of the picturesque
characters Of Gotham, where he enjoys
the title of "King of the Tenderloin. ;"
Heretofore he has been one of those rare
individsals who play the game of poll
tics for tne fun there is in it and divide
all the spoils with their friends, and
Sol has had plenty of amusement. The
New York newspapers have attended to
that. In the matter of patronage, how
ever, he has ssldom been overburdened,
for he seems to have had faculty for
afiiliating with the losing side. But
such little matter as that never dulls
his appreciation for the game

and of sand thrown up by the sea. Some
parts of il are even lower than the sea

walls called dikes, made of great stones,
timber, turf and clay, have been built
along the shores, The land was former

been filled up or drawn out by hundreds
of pumps, which are worked either by
windmills or steam engines. The wa

the place of streets, and the people go
about on them in summer in little boats
drawn by horses or by dogs, and in
winter they travel merrily over the ice
