MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD.
IN MEMORY OF WASHINGTON.
MasOns and Many Prominent Men
Present-CeremOny Was Grand
and Well Planned-virginians In
Charge.

Washington, Dec. 16.-With solemn
pomp and circumstance, with ceremon-
les beautiful, impressive and apprOpri-
ate, in the presence of a distinguished
assemblage and in the full splendor of
ideal autumn weather, the centennial
Of the death of George Washington was
commemorated at Mount Vernon. That
Mount Vernon should have been select
ed as the scene Of the exercises was
peculiarly fitting. There it was that
the happiest incidents of Washington's
life occurred. In other parts he en-
dured his trials; on other fields he won
his triumphs: but there. surrounded by
those whom best he loved, were spent
the restful, quiet, studious hours Of his
life. There 1t was, too, that he sick
ened and died: there all that was NOR
tai was laid to eternal rest In MAUI
soleum overlooking the broad sweep of
the picturesque Potomac.
The ceremonies were deliberately
planned and successfully carried to
fruition. They were conducted by the
Masonic bodies and by the Red Men Of
the United States. The movement for
the days observance originated in 1898
with the grand lodge of Masons of the
state of Colorado, the proposition being
made by Most Worshipful William d.
Wright. grand master Of Colorado. who
was present to witness the carrying
into effect of his long cherished idea.
Charge of the ceremonies incident to
the commemoration was placed In the
hands of the Masons of Virginia, it be-
ing in the Old Dominion that Washing
ton was obligated as a Master Mason
and there that he participated enthus-
iastically In Masonic work and observ-
ances.

STAR OF BENGAL'S COAL is
NEARLY AFIRE.
Board of Survey Recommends It be
Discharged Here-Temperature Ran
ges from so to 100 Degrees

The Star of Bengal is to discharge
her cargo at this port. The board of
survey appointed by Collector General
McStocker at the request of Captain
Henderson of the ship, recommend it,
She was towed into the harbor this
morning and is now anchored in naval
row.
The board found the temperature of
the cargo ranging from so to 100 de-
grees and more. In concluding their
report the board says:
Temperature in main and after hat
ches at depths noted steadily rising
(by information from Captain Hender-
son of this vesseD. and in our estima-
tion the condition so found makes the
coal in said ship Star of Bengal a dan
gerous cargo for a voyage to her des-
tination, San Francisco, and we recon-
mend that the said Star of Bengal do
come into the harbor of Honolulu and
discharge the whole or part of said
cargo as conditions may require.
I'VE also commend the captain for
his watchfulness in respect to his car

Mr. ROBERTSON 5 REPORT
IN HIS WORK AT
WASHINGTON.
Returns With the Air of the Conquer
ing Hero, Etc.-About the Twelve
Cinnamon Who Went Back.

A. G. M. Robertson, special agent for
rejected Chinese, returned by the Gae-
lie this morning, after having come out
completely victorious at Washington
in his efforts to land the persons in
quarantine here who had been refused
admission into the country by Agent
Brown. Mr.. Robertson looks the pink
of health and has really enjoyed his
trip, although he struck the blizzard
in Washington and got frost bitten a
couple of times.
Mr. Robertson found the officials at
Washington very accommodating and,
moreover, ready and willing to listen
to argument in favor of his clients. The
matter went from the treasury office
to the department of the attorney gem
eral for legal opinion. The result is
known.
The first telegraphic message to Ag-
ent Brown, as written out includes
women and children of Chinese men
having return permits. A pencil was
later drawn through the words "wom-
en- and children" Just the extent of
the effect of this no one here can now
tell at present. Thus far few women
and children have returned with their
male relatives.
There was another development this
morning with respect to the twelve re-
jected Cinnamon who voluntarily re-
turned by the Coptic to China. When
they were refused landing here their
permits were held by the custom house
authorities and still remain in the GUS
tody of Agent Brown and Collector Nc
Stocker Mr.. Brown has decided in
view of the change of front at Wash
ington to forward these permits to the
persons to whom they belong. They
will go forward by the Gaelic tonight,
with the statement that they are valid
and the persons to whom they were is
sued may use them for the purpose of
landing in the Hawaiian Islands.

THE RICH MAN CONTINGENT is
AUGMENTED.
Nearly Half the Senators Now in the
Millionaire Class-This has Been a
Good Year for Them.

WASHINGTON, March s. - The
breaking of the senatorial deadlock in
Nebraska has resulted in adding an
other millionaire to the United States
senate. Judge M. L. Hayward is esti-
mated to be worth over $4,000, 900. He
had the backing of the railroads and
corporations of the state. The new
senator is in his sixty-ninth year and
is said to be a fluent talker
The hew senate will more than ever
deserve the title of The Mllionaires
Club Nearly a half of the senators
are men that are rated in that class.
This winter has been particularly fa-
vorable to wealthy men for senatorial
aspirations. Among the millionaires
added to the senate this year are
Chauncy M. Depew, John Kean, Jr.; !;
Nathan Bay Scott Joseph " Quarles,
A j. McCumber, w. A. Clark, A. G..
Foster and NJ. l.. Hayward.
There are four states yet to be heard
from--Delaware, Pennsylvania, Utah
and California.

A MILITARY TEST.

A military bicycle corps of twelve
members each rode Sterling bicycle
taken from stock-from Chicago to
Washington, d. c., over mountains and
rough roads, in rain and shine, carry
ing in addition to the rider about for
ty pounds of baggage. The wheels be-
haved splendidly, the only accident be-
ing the breaking of one front wheel
axle, due to the fact that all the eX-
ira weight carried being strapped to
the handle bars, came on the front
axle.
Next to strength of bicycle, wear
ing quality is of prime Importance, now
that construction is so nearly perfect
that material improvements are few
and far between. The majority of buy
ers today want a wheel that will last
several seasons, one that will bear
them thousands of miles without hav-
ing to spend half of the original cost
in repairs. A wheel that will do this
will cost more at first, but will be less
expensive in the end The Sterling is
the only wheel that will meet those re-
quirements. Call up the Pacific Cycle
Company and see the 1899 model only
$4,000.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SMITH HAS
PARTING TALK.
Speech in Station House Yard This
Morning and Response by Marshal
Brown-Resignation.

At $3.50 this morning in the station
house yard, Attorney General w. o.
Smith took leave of the police as head
of the department in which they are
employed. The men were drawn up in
three lines under Senior Captain Park
er, Captain Spillner, Captain Kanae,
Captain Holi Thornton, and the corps
of lieutenants. Standing with the at
toney general in front were Marshal
Brown, Deputy Marshal Hitchcock,
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth, Judge
w. L. Wilcox, Deputy Attorney Gener-
al A. l.. c. Atkinson, Jailor william
Henry; and Clerks Bachelor, Van Gle
sen and Kanepu.
Promptly at the hour stated Mr..
Smith stepped to the front and began
what proved to be q very short address
of perhaps five minutes. He first for
mally announced his retirement from
the cabinet and from the office of head
of the police department. Next he eX-
pressed high personal regard for and
interest in the police. The police force
had, in the six years of his experience
as head of the department, as a body,
been an exemplary set of men, entire
ly worthy of the confidence of the gov
ernment and the public. They had per-
formed their duty not always pleasant,
in most satisfactory manner, and it
was a pleasure to him to testify at
ty at large.
Marshal Brown replied to Mr.. Smith.
He said that it was with sincere re-
gret that the police of honolulu had
heard of the retirement of Mr.. Smith
from the department. Each and every
man from the highest to the lowest had
regarded the attorney general with es-
pecial confidence and esteem and his
departure from their head was deeply
deplored. Whatever conditions might
obtain in future in the police depart
ment, the men would look back with
pleasure upon the connection of Mr.
Smith with the department and with a
feeling of regret of the happening of
today.
Following Mr.. Browns ramarks Mr..
Smith again stepped to the front and
bade the men farewell. At this juno
ture Clerk Bachelor proposed three
cheers for the retiring official. They
were given with a Will.
Attorney General Smith yesterday af-
ternoon urged upon President Dole to
accept his resignation, sent in last
summer. The executive complied with
the request a short time later, and just
before night the intended departure of
the attorney general from the cabinet
at once was announced
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-16
HE MAY BE NAMED DURING THE
AFTERNOON.
Cabinet Close Mouthed on the Matter
Ex-Attorney General Holds Office for
the Present

Cabinet ministers had a discussion
with President Dole just before noon
on routine matters now before the ex-
ecutive. During the sitting the matter
of a successor to Attorney General
Smith in the cabinet was discussed. but
no action was taken.
1t is understood on the best author
ity that a name has been selected for
the portfolio. but who the party is not
one of the executive will divulge. The
statement is given out that selection
may be made this afternoon or tomor-
row. The contingency is simply the
question of whether the party selected
will or will not accept.
There is a rumOr about town that A.
G.. NJ. Robertson will be the man. This
may be a good guess but is no more
than that. Deputy Attorney General
Dole is being urged for the place and
may get it. Paul Neumann has been
suggested, but it is not believed the old
legal warrior would accept.
Attorney General Smith was request
ed by the president this morning -
hold office until his successor could be
selected, and Mr. Smith consented to
do so on condition that no time be lost
in selecting a man. 1t was then that
the assurance was given that the ap-
pointment would probably not be de-
layed longer than tomorrow
Mr.. Smith was busy in his old Office
all forenoon CLOSING up some work and
signing vouchers sent over from the
auditors office.
II cannot describe to you the relief
/ l feel today" said Mr.. Smith. 1T new
er occurred to me how free and inde-
pendent the plain citizen is. 1 feel this
moment like a heavy load had been
suddenly lifted from my shoulders.
I'm leaving my office l wish to
thank the public for the trust so long
and faithfully imposed in me. / have
done my best work for them. and am
sure the people have done their best
for me. The newspaper men of the city
| wish also to thank most cordially.
They have been uniformly courteous
and obliging in every way, and we have
gotten along well together. I feel that
every matter should be given to the
public through the newspapers unless
| 1t appears conclusively that the publi-
cation of it be detrimental to the pub
! lie good This is the policy have fol-
! lowed in dealing with the reporters and
| the people in giving out public affairs"
Mr.. Smiths retirement has been the
! principal topic of discussion on the
/ streets today. The general sentiment
was one of regret that it should have
| taken place. This expression has come
| from all classes of citizens.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Their names are Pasqual Sylvester
and Antonio Maria, but what the gem
eral public is most interested in is the
class of work they do. They are both
professional bootblacks from the states
imported by the enterprising proprietor
of the Silent barber shop, Joseph Fer
nandez. No more foolishness going on
at this stand; everything is now strict
ly business.
The public does not care to know the
names of the persons who polish their
shoes, but when for ten cents they can
get a shine from a professional that
will last twice as long as the ordinary
one, that is what they want, and they
will walk a few blocks to secure it.
This advancement in the condition of
the work done at the Silent barber shop
is commendable. Mr.. Fernandez is de-
termined to have both the inside and
outside of his place of business in good
hands and up to date in every partic-
ular
