WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey have returned to Beauvoir,
their country home near the capital, and
gossip Is busy with the reasons for the
abandonment of Narragansett. where it
was supposed they were TO spend the
season.
Before the Deweys went to Narragan-
sett Mrs. Dewey was reported In bad
health, which prevented her participating
in various social incidents. 1t was report
ed that she had improved while in Nara
gansett and the homecoming was a sur
prise. Today Washington society was
busy with a story of the expected visit
OF the stork to the Dewey home.
OF course the story came out In the
usual way-a visit to Mrs. Dewey and the
finding of her busily engaged in examin-
Ing fine bits of lace, little garments and
doll clothes. friend smiled and asked
IL Mrs. Dewey was fond of dolls. where
upon, the story goes, the secret was out.
II was whispered in society at first matt
rcns told II behind their fans to others
at teas and parties. and 1t became noised
about quietly in the official family in

GIBBONS ON EXPANSION.
The Cardinals Views on Americas
Great Issue.

ST. PAUL. July 26.-Cardinal Glib
bons. who has been visiting in the
Northwest. spent to-day in this city
and was entertained at luncheon at the
residence OF j. J. Hill. Asked for his
views on expansion, the Cardinal said:
"Of course we cannot abandon the
islands we have acquired: at least not
until sufficiently powerful home gov
eminent had been established in each
of our new possessions"
lie thought the duty of America was
most emphatically that of teaching the
newly acquired possessions to govern
themselves.
a question In regard to the allega-
tions that the Catholic missionaries
were largely TO. blame for the persecu-
ton Of foreigners in China brought
from the Cardinal an emphatic denial.
There were. he said. about half mil
lion native Catholics In China. While
the Catholic prelates had been granted
some judicial authority by the Emper-
or and mandarins. this was because By
far the greater number OF Christians
I'm China were Catholics and IL had
been found helpful to both the church
and Government 10 give Bishops and
others some judicial authority.
The present troubles could not fail
said Cardinal Gibbons. to have~a de-
teriorating effect upon the work OF
i outstanding China.

A BIG DEAL

American Hawaiian Corporation Sc
cures Long Occupation
of the Property.

A big deal has just about been closed
Company and the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company, which will no
doubt result in the transfer of the bulk
of the heavy shipping business of Homo
lulu harbor to the Eva end of the water
front. The railway company is COM
mencing wharf to be 500 feet in length
next to the wharf of 600 feet which it
has just completed, to be used by the
big freight steamers of the American
Hawaiian Company. Although the ar
ticles of the agreement have not yet
been signed the arrangement is prac-
tically completed and the railway COM
pany will give the steamship company
the Use of the new wharf for period
of ten years.
This means that a great portion of
the sugar from these Islands will be
shipped from this end of the harbor,
and that a great quantity of the gener-
al merchandise from the Mainland will
be landed there. With the big wharf
just completed, and the one commence
ing for the American Hawaiian Com
pany, and others contemplated it will
not be long before the Eva end of the
water front will be the busiest as far
as freight is concerned.
The Waikiki end of the harbor will
be devoted to the business of naval
vessels and passenger steamships as
heretofore, while intermediate wharves
win be relieved of much of the crush
( of trade.

On the new dock will be constructed
a large warehouse and a freight hous
also. All the most modern applicance
for the speedy handling Of merchandis
will be adopted. and the wharf will b
up to date in every particular.
The warehouse will admit of tn
storing of a great quantity of suga

Honolulu's commercial Importance.
1t is not thought that the steamship
of the American Hawaiian Company
trading between New York, San Fran
cisco and this port, will very great
affect the sugar carrying of the sailin
vessels. 1t will necessarily be som
years before it ceases to be a pgyir,
business for sailers to carry sugar, an
the number of steamers in the bushes
will have to be greatly increased. An
then the Chinese trouble may prove
big benefit to sailing vessels inasmuc
as the steamers are likely to be Gale
upon to transport troops and munitior
of war to the scene of action,

Stackable's Office In Mr.. Stackable's
custody are funds belonging to the
United States Government which
would pay all the salaries of all the
officers of the government here for
good long period. but according to the
rules of the department he is not al
lowed to make use of any of this cash
to pay his men. The money which
should have been sent from Washing
ton for this purpose has not yet arriv-
ed. and as result many of the men In
the office were confronted with a con-
dition of affairs unpleasant in the ex-
IRENE. So Mr.. Stackable decided that
heroic remedies were necessary and he
went out and borrowed the money to
pay all salaries up to date. AS result
the boys in the Custom House were
feeling happy on Saturday and were
