Colorado Fuel and Iron advanced in
sympathy with the Tennessee stock and
also because of a report that the directors
of the company would meet today to make
some arrangements regarding the unpaid
cumulative dividend on the preferred
stock. American Steel and Wire, common,
was strong on account of the understand
ing that the report of the company would
be a magnificent one. The advance in this
stock, however, was not so large as might
have been supposed. Federal Steel, COM
mon, was put up to above 81 and was
even more active than Steel and Wire

THE INTERIOR OFFICE VACANCY
UNTITLED.
Cabinet Considers All the Names Pro-
posed and Others Besides, But Defers
Final Action.

The Cabinet this morning had under
consideration the matter of an appoint
ment TO fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Minister King, head of the
Interior department. All of the names
suggested by the papers and others be-
sides were discussed, but no conclusion
was reached. President Dole stated
just after the adjournment of the ses-
sion that nothing had been done farther
than talking over the various names
suggested.
1t is understood that there will be an
other conference late this afternoon at
which a choice may be made. There
was a rumOr this morning that Attor-
ney- General Cooper had been definitely
decided upon. While this arrangement
has probably been discussed no such
conclusion had been reached up to the
end to today's first meeting.
At the Cabinet session this morning
Charles F. Parsons was appointed dis
trict magistrate of North Hilo in place
of Judge +. w. Barnard. resigned. The
new Incumbent has been but a few
years in the country and holds deniza-
ton rights only. He is a lawyer of
considerable ability and is considered q
good man. President Dole stated that
the salary, which was the cause of the
resignation of Judge Barnard, had moi
! been increased nor could it be by the
| Cabinet, as salaries were fixed by the
Legislature only.

UNCERTAINTY AS TO CAUSE OF
CAPT. KINGS DEATH.
No Inquest Was Held--Dr McKibbin
Says Apoplexy Was the Direct
Cause.

Much interest has been manifested
and many inquiries made, as to the
exact cause of Captain Kings death.
The circumstances of his death were
that he was with his children in the
shallow water at Mokapu Point, having
gone in, in playful mood to join she
children in their frolic. He was sud
denly stricken and fell forward on his
face in about two feet of water. There
was no one near able to render assist
ance. His little son gave the alarm,
but by the time help arrived life was
extinct.
From these circumstances 1t was an
nounced by some of the papers that he
died from drowning. DR.. McKiDbin,
however, his family physician, who was
called on by officials of the Govern
ment for death certificate, gives the
cause of death as apoplexy. He wrote
the following which was accepted as a
death certificate and a burial permit
was issued on it:
Honolulu, 2Oth October 1899. I GER
tify that Capt. j. A. King died of apo
pleXy, on the 10Th October. Aged 6j
years and 10 months.
"R. McKIBBIN, NJ. D."
No inquest was held to determine the
cause of death or to make an official
record of the circumstances under
which death occurred. Physicians state
that taking the circumstances of his
death alone, death might have beer
caused by paralysis of the heart OIL
pneumo- gastric nerves, by apopleXy, oi
| by drowning following a stroke of apo.
pleXy, or even an attack of vertigo. Al
autopsy would have determined with.

GRINDING WILL BE DONE AT
SPRECKELSVILLE.
original Proposal Unanimously Endors--
Alexander & Baldwin, Agents.

There was a rousing meeting Of
Kihei stockholders i'm the Chamber Of
Commerce rooms this morning.
In, brief, by unanimous vote the
stockholders decided to close the deal
with Sprcckelsville to grind its cane for
a period of ten years at a rate of Sl2 a
ton; and approved the deal making
Alexander Il Baldwin agents of the
plantation.
This matter of having the Hawaiian
Commercial grind the cane of Kihei
has heel pending for sometime. The
two plantations are really half brothers
anyway, and there has been an idea, in
view Of the fact that they adjoin. that
there would eventually be a consolida-
tiOn. From the meeting today il was
plain that the head men of the Kihei
proposition hae worked along that line
for some time.
Speeches We're made by several Mr..
Thurston clearly defined the status Of
the two concerns and explained in de-
tail the proposal to grind cane. made
by Spreckelsvile, which will do away
with the necessity of Kihei investing
in mill. 1t was shown that If mill
We're not purchased it would not be
necessary to call i'm a number of the
assessments now in contemplation. Mr..
| Baldwin as good as said that the two
| plantations We're considering the matter
of consolidation and that the purchase
of a mill for <ihei would almost be a
useless expenditure. The speaker is a
| heavy owner in both stocks.
| The vote to accept the SpreCkelsville
| contract passed unanimously. The
vote to place the agency permanently
! in the hands of Alexander & Baldwin
also passed without a dissenting voice.
In view of this action SpreCkelsville
| will at once, or as soon as necessary.
| increase the capacity of its mill to 500
! tons per day. This will be sufficient to
take care of the output Of both immense
| estates.
! In addition to the above it may be
! stated that the advantage of exchange
| is to accrue to Kihei. This, in the very
| large transaction of plantation of it's
size will amount to a good deal.
1t is stated privately by certain Of
the best business men of the city that
the deal is the most advantageous on
record on the side of the new planta-
tion.

FLORA OF HAWAII.

The flora of the Hawaiian Islands is
subject of great interest to the people
in this section of the country, and any
thing that serves to give an idea of the
flowers and plants of that interesting
section of the globe will attract especial
attention. James Lindsay has recently
received large consignment of Hawai-
ian ferns and foliage plants from Ha-
wall, embracing in the collection many
rare and valuable specimens. The col
lection is on display at the Hawaiian
village, and Mr.. Lindsay will take
pleasure in exhibiting them and ex-
planning to all who may call to inspect
them. Considerable money has been
expended in gathering and shipping
this collection to Omaha, but those who
visit it will readily realize that the eX-
pense has been well undertaken .-Oma
