 Three. cheers for James D. Phelan were proposed and civen in hearty manner.
 Mayor Phelan-Mr. Chairman and gen. tlemen of the convention, as a member of your committee to escort Judge Mcguire to this platform, it is matter of espe- cially great qualification for me to say that the principal service which Judge fornia has affected largely. the interest of the city and county which l in part represent There Judge Mcguire was sent to the Assembly; there he was elevated to the Superior bench, and from the Fourth Congressional District, with ever increasing majorities. he was sent by a grateful and enthusiastic peo0le to the halls of Congress He has distinguished himself in this, that as, public servant he has always served the public.

 Never has a soldier or sailor, Democrat, he may call himself, been disloyal or failed to perform his duty.

But when the great conflict was inaugurated there was no dissent. Democrats differed Tn Con gress, and Judge Mcguire differed from which was passed regarding the collection of the war tax. Why did we differ upon it? We proposed make that wealth to which the blood of the soldier and the sailor contribute fur nish it's just quota toward the mainten- ance of the war.

HOUSE.
Jim Posts Company pleases Every
body Who Could Get Inside the Door
Much Clcverness is Exhibited.

The novelty of a vaudeville theater
in Honolulu brought crowded house
to the opening of the Orphcum Satur-
day evening. People came to see who
else would be there and to enjoy it as
a lark. Everybody came in buoyant
good humor. determined to be pleas
ed. and they were.
The house seats $50 and there were
great many more than that present
while many were turned away because
there was not even standing room.
The show was not disappointing.
There is enough cleverness i'm the com
pany to keep up good performances,
if it is directed right. But where the
same performers are appearing be-
fore the same people every night. as
these will be in large measure.
there must be more dash and action
and rapidity than there was in the lat
ter part of Saturdays performance.
Nor will it do to wear out good piece
of stage business by repeating it too
often i'm the same performance. Sew
eral of the best things Saturday night
fell fiat simply because they were re-
peated
The public has demonstrated that
it will pay its money to be amused. If
the Orpheum can amuse them it will
get the money. Here's success to Jim
Post and his company and hoping
they may.

SENTRY DUTY BEFORE SANTIAGO From the Philadelphia Times ,s --.
First Avenue

 Fifteen minutes after he is left alone he murmurs, My, how the time creeps along. I wish I were relieved.' "What's thatr' is the voluntary exclamation. Halt! Who is there?" he exclaims, bringing his gun to the charge, with the bright steel bayonet gisteneing in the bright moonlight. For de Lawdes sake, don't shoot! I'll stop' says the colored negro servant as he emerges from the shade of the trees.
 "Go back to your tent.'' sterny commands Smith, You can't leave camp after taps" and the darky, half scared to death walks rapidly back 10 the horses.
 Two o'clock and all is well! calls out sentry No. 1, and the cry, taken up by Nos. 2 and 8, is repeated by 4, and then grows fainter and fainter in the distance as it passes around the camp.
 Now, one of the boys who has missed roll-call and gone to Chattanooga, tries to steal through the lines.
 Halt! Who goes there?"
 A dark form springs from the ground and attempts to rush through the lines, but the shrap click, click of the sentiners gun as he cocks it brings the offender to a halt, and Corporal of the guard, No 4'' rings out upon the still night air, and the pris- oner is' taken to the guard-house, after the corporal arrives upon the scene. Just as No. grows weary and sleepy once more a light comes bobbl.ng along the line and again the challenge, Halt! Who goes there?" and the reply, "Officer Of the day" and the order, Advance, officer of the day, and be recognized is given by the sentry. After recognition, the officer, stepping up closely, scanning the face of the recruit, says, What are your general or ders?'
 My general orders are % take charge of this post and all government property in view; to walk my post in a military manEer, keeping constantly on the alert, observ.rg everything which takes place within sight or hearing; to report every breach-
 There, that will do. see you know them. But how close do you,allow me 10 come you before challenglng?" queries the officer. s
 .sThirty feet" answers the guard.
 "And before being recognized?"
 "Not within eight feet"
 "Well see that you do that in the future, then" and thus curtly reprimandng the sentry, the officer passes on his round.
 At last the welcome relief appears and after challenging and being recognized. Smith now thoroughly tired out, passes on to the remaining postsswith the relief. Com- ing in the rear of the camp, the cornoral, after passing along one post and failing 10 be challenged calls out, Where are you? Why don't you challenger" And a new re- cruit stepping out from behind tree re- marks: 'I saw you. I knew you couldn't find me" It seems the commanding officer had told him not to expose himself unneces- sarly, and he adopted this mode of prac- ticing the officers admonition.

COLONIAL FORM
 OF GOVERNMENT
Favored By the President For
 Porto Rica.
CANADA'S SHINING EXAMPLE
Of McKinley's Idea for the Rule of Our New ossession-Cubans Will Determine by Convention
 What They Desire.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The questions re- lating to temporary control of Cuba and territory which will be requested from the Spanish as result of the war are now under serious consideration by the presi- dent and members of the cabinet. Porto Rico as an actual acquisition to the ter ritory of the United States will be placed in charge of a military governor. who will exercise a superiority in control of all functions of government, under direction of the president until congress shall de- terfnine upon permanent form of govern ment for the island. .
 The president, under the constitution and laws, has no authority to go beyond this preliminary or temporary stage in the es- tablishment of any system of government al control although it Is altogether prob- able that in his message to congress on the subject he will exercise his constitu- tional privilege of making recommends tfons
 Upon congress alone will devolve the re- sponsibility and duty of determining the character of the political relations whi Porto Rico shall permanently bear to the United States
 There are reasons for the belief that the president himself favors a colonial form of government and that this view is shared by members of the cabinet. Canada is cited as having a model colonial govern ment which is satisfactory alike to a ma jority of it's people and to the mother country This system, however, 1t Is be- lieved, can be put into operation only af- ter the lapse of a considerable period of time, and after the people have demon strated satisfactorily their ability to gov- ern themselves inteligently in all focal matters.
 After the evacuation of Cuba 1t is be- lieved to be the intention of the president to establish for the whole island a tempo rary military government similar to that now in operation at Santiago. When or der has been fully restored and the peo- pie have settled down to their peaceful occupation, it is believed to be the view of the president that a convention of rep- resentatives of the people should be called on the question of a form of government for the island. The presence of the army of the United States would be guarantee that every citizen who would subscribe to an oath binding himself to support what ever form of government that should be agreed upon should have the unquestfoned right to vote for whomsoever he pleased to represent him at this convention.
 The action of this body, however, would Have to be submitted to the United states for approval or disapproval. It is potfced

The eastern and western ends of the continent must be drawn closer together, and if we want to outstrip the rest of the world in trade, the digging of the canal should not be longer potponed."
