side to the extent Of calling the meet
ing to order and presenting Governor
Dole as the chairman of the morning.
Gov. Dole will speak briefly in taking
the chair, his remarks partaking of the
nature of an estimate of the life and
character of the dead chief magistrate.
In all other respects the program will
be followed It is not now expected
that Mr.. Kincaid viii be IN the city in
time to take part in the services and
the address for which he was underlin-
ed will be made by Mr.. Westervelt.
In addition to the other features OF
the programme, from which through
inadvertence the name of Prof. ingalls,
was omitted, there will be the voluntary
and a occasional. the Dead March in
Saul, Handel at the close of the morn
ing service, the band on the lawn end
ing the day with several solemn selec-
tions.
1t is now planned to have the fifty
eight years of the life of the president
tolled as the people are gathering.
The committee authorized by the
meeting in the Drill Shed Wednesday
evening plans to have another memorial
meeting. and the outlook is that it will
be held next Saturday evening at the
same place. This decision was reached
after peculiar meeting in company
room there last evening.
1t was decided Immediately upon
convening that the committee should
take part in the meeting of this morn
ing by meeting at the shed and from
thence proceeding to the church in
body. There was no expression other
than that there should be hearty CO.
operation in the taking part in the
meeting, but in addition to this there
was a general expression to the effect
that there should be later meeting
where the working people of the city
might have an opportunity to attend
the memorial. There was q long dis
cuSsiOn over this matter, some of the
members of the committee being in
favor of the appointment of a body to
meet and confer with all other similar
representative bodies, so as to learn the
feeling in regard to a second meeting.
After full discussion which often
took on a tone of acrimony, the follow
ing resolution was passed:
1T is the sense of this committee
that 1t is advisable to hold a memorial
mass meeting in the evening, at such
a place as shall hereafter be decided
upon, by such committees as shall act
with this committee in arranging the
same"
The next step was the forming of the
sub b-committee to make this operative
and the nominations on the basis of the
discussions were: Col. j. W. Jones, DR..
c. B. Cooper, G. A. Davis, F. w. Beck
ley and f. NJ. Hatch. This was plainly
not a sufficient number and w. L, Eaton
Gnd T McCants Stewart were added.
There was nothing more to do as this
committee was supposed to have been
given power to act in all matters and
the committee adjourned

Mckinley was shot in the stomach Fri

Friday morning. Sept 18th, 1901.
In the midst of the American people,
where every citizen Is taught to obey the
law and observe the rules Of Christian
conduct. our late Chief Executive, the
beloved of all hearts, has in time of
peace been assassinated. And in this sad
hour while the bleeding heart of the
whole nation is pouring out its mournfui

over the sad catastrophe is almost still

The wantonness of the act has so ap-

words at our command with which to
properly express our deep sorrow.
William Mckinley was typical Amer
lean statesman of humble origin. How
ever the fortitude and ideas of right
taught him by his mother at her knee,
followed him at every step of life's jour
ney, up the ladder of Fame until he
stood at the topmost round of earthly
honors. When the war of the Rebellion
was declared he offered his nfe in boy
hood on the altar of his country that our
flag might wave over a united land in
stead of an aggregation of warning
states. In later years, his voice was

of the assassin's work on all classes of
society, and clearly demonstrated the
necessity. even in such trying time,
that the law should take its course
with the assassin. The exercises COM
menced at l o'clock. and lasted for
nearly an hour, at which time the
school was dismissed for the day.
Rev. Mr Trent in the opening pray
er spoke of the simple, honest life Of
the President, his devotion to his
mother his wife, and to all things per-
earnest purpose to do well toward all
men in serving his country.
Mr. Lull gave a clear history Of the
President from his boyhood days, his
career in the war of the rebellion, his
short career as a lawyer, and the bril-
liant record he made in Congress and
in the White House. His life was
the example of the glory Of American
citizenship Like many of the former
Presidents, he was born in humble
circumstances of a family known for
its worth. Throughout his entire life
he never let a day pass without send
ing his mother a letter or a telegram,
even on his busiest days. His devotion
to his wife was known the world over,
and it was these qualities, as we'll as
his ability, which have made him dear
to the people, who have shown such
sincere grief at his uutimely end.
Professor Scott spoke mainly upon
the lessons to be derived from Mckin-
Iey's life.
1T has been the custom Of all coun-
tries" said he, ''to pay respect to the
honored dead. The Greeks showed the
greatest respect to the memory Of
those who had done the State service.

KaWaiahao Church to Be the Scene
OF Great Demonstration of
Popular Feeling.

Amid all outward symbols OF grief,
actuated by common desire to show
sorrow and sympathy, hundreds of Ho-
noIuIu citizens will gather at Hawai-
ahao Church this morning to unite in
a memorial service in honor of the late
President William Mckinley.
All arrangements have been complet-
ed for the meeting, and as the day is
TO be a closed one, when all business
viii be suspended to permit a proper
observance of the occasion, that the
outpouring of the people will tax the
capacity of the church is certain.
There will be a special musical program
rendered by the band, on the lawn out
side the church, before the hour for the
meeting, and the time before the actual
beginning of the services will be given
over to the playing as an organ volun-
tary by Prof. A. b. Ingalls, of the
Chopin Funeral March.
Within the sacred ediftce which will
hold about 1500 people, the seating
capacity being largely increased by the
addition of chairs in the wide aisles
eraI solemnity Under the direction of
William Mutch, the balconies and or
gan loft have been hung with bl9ck
and in the festoonings of the colors, and
the drapings of the entrances there is
formed picture which is in keeping
with the day and event There will be
immortelles and perhaps a few other
flowers placed upon the altar, and this
will be the only relief, in color, which
will be permitted to break the effect of
sadness which is conveyed by the hang
ings.
There have been ample arrangements
made for the seating of the persons
who attend the meeting. The corps of
ushers will be under the direction of
Maj George c. Potter, who VIII have
serving with him a score of young men,
whose mission it will be to see that
the audience is seated quickly and in
order. There have been few seats re-
served Those which will be set aside
will be for the accommodation of Off
GERS of the Army and Navy, officials of
the local government, including the
staff of the Governor, the judiciary,
members of committees of various or
ganizations which are joining in the
memorial service the former Queen,
the princes and members of the legis-
Iature.
Apart from this there is to be no dis
tinction made and all COmers Will be
given the very best seats possible. There
will be many persons on hand when
the doors are opened at o'clock, with
out doubt, and the plan is to have the
crowd placed so evenly as to prevent
any crowding of the aisles, and as there
is prospect that there will be a neces-
stty for closing the doors, to prevent
overcrowding, every care will be taken
to safeguard the visitors.
There will be only Slight change in
the program. Mr.. W. G. Irwin will pre-

1t seems that William Mckinley will
be known in future ages as one Of the
greatest rulers of his time, as the great
est president OF the age Inustrious,
strong minded, keen, far-seeing, he oc-
eupied the chair at the head of the
nation with marked ability. 1t was my
pleasure to meet Mckinley on two oc-
casions when he was prominently be-
fore the people. One time was at the
indianapolis convention, when the
Whole nation was afre with the name
of William Mckinley, though the con-
vention was pledged to Benjamin Har-
rIson. Mckinley rose in that conven-
ton. where the people were urging the
aominAtion upon him, and said 1t must

they must not use his name, as he was
pledged to Harrison. That was the
great motto of william Mckinley,

central idea of Mckinley, loyalty to
friends. loyalty to party loyalty to

Following Mr.. SIliman's address the
meeting which had been informal now
resolved itself into a formal organiza-
tion and adopted the following resolu-
tions introduced by P. 0. Weaver and
seconded by d. H. Case:
Resolved that, Whereas. the American
people have sustained d great loss in the
trabic death President William McKin-
ley at the hands of a cowardly assassin,
while extending the hand of cordial fel-
lowship to the common people of the
land; and,
Whereas, a brilliant record in interna-
tional relations in championing the cause
OF the oppressed in Cuba and in curbing
and moderating the revenge of nations
against the Chinese Empire in It's ex-
tremity, has rendered his name illus
trious; and,
Whereas he has guided the ship of
state in stormy and unknown waters, and
set her on her new course of prosperity
with the hand of a master; only to be
stricken down at the helm In the full
progress of his voyage; and,
Whereas, the strong hand that has re-
laxed its hold has always been extended
to promote the material interests of the
people of Hawaii, and when stricken
down was developing a commerce in the
Pacific that will benefit Hawaii in paytic-
ular; now, therefore, be it
Resolved. that in the death of His Ex-
cellency, William Mckinley President OF
the United States, this Bar Association
and the people of Hawaii have lost
most able President, and generous and
enlightened friend.
