Pays His Respects to The Senator from
Hilo.


The Hawaii Herald in it's gossipy
column, Around the Coffee Shops"
has the following:
1T seems to me that the time is ripe
for Mr.. Holstein to push his claim for
a seat in the Senate" remarked the
Cheerful Liar. From all accounts
Senator Russell is not making a howl
ing success as speaker and would prob
ably not answer any better as mem
Der with only floor privileges. This dis
trict would like to have a man in the
Senate who is familiar with parliament
tary law and who will not have to de-
pend upon the interpreter, when a ques-
ton is put, to know how to answer it,
Russell has good ideas on some subjects
but he does not know how to handle
them to the satisfaction of the public
Perhaps, after while, Russell will get
used to his new billet and things will
run along all right, but the chances are
he Will chuck his job before his term
expires. Holstein would have made a
good man for the place and would have
done we'll for his constituents. Perhaps
he will do so yet. Mr.. Loebenstein has
furnished him with copies of all the
affidavits made as to the illegality OF
the election and l am informed that
the Republican party is going to fight
for him in the contest. 1t would be
good thing for the Republican party If
Holstein was seated because it would
give us a majority in the upper house

CLAUDINE-CARso
Argument Before the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.

Paul Neumann who returned from
San Francisco by the Mariposa says
that the Claudlne-Cars case was ar
gued in the United States Circuit Court
of Appeal February q. The argument
at that time was on the question of
whether an appeal in this case would
lie from the United States District
Court of Hawaii To that court The
merits of the case We're not touched.
A decision is expected about March 15l
If the court decides that an appeal
lies, the case will come up for argu-
ment and hearing on its merits later
The case grows out of the collision be-
tween the Wilder Steamship Claudina
and the bark William Carson off Dia-
mond Head last March. in which the
Carson was so injured that she became

MUFFLED BELLS TOLLED.
Only Noise that Broke the Silence of
ChicagO's Mourning.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The noises of a great
city were hushed and its commerce sus-
pended for a few minutes to-day while
mourning thousands paid their last tribute
to the memory of William Mckinley. The
silence was broken alone by mufled bells
tolling off the fifty-eight illustrious years
of the dead Presidents life.
During the forenoon memorial services
were held in nearly all churches.
Between twenty and twenty-five thousand
men marched in the funeral procession
which followed a draped carriage. Its
empty seats were more eloquent than
words of the Nations loss. In this car
riage, two years ago, the President rode
through two long aisles of applauding peo-
pie. Unfurled near the carriage was a ia 3
which had flown over the President on oc-
casOns of rejoicing in Chicago, in Canton
p and in Washington.
In common with other cities. all business,
not already suspended, stopped at 2:3O p. m.
for five minutes. For the first time in his
tory the pulsing heart of Chicago's COM
merce ceased almost entirely. while sorrow
ing citizens stood with DOTTED hats in re-
spectful silence. Business generally was Sus-
pended during the day and the streets were
draped in mourning.
An immense audience gathered at the
Auditorium tonight TO honor the memory
of the dead President. The meeting was
held under the auspices Of the Marquette
Club, and was addressed by Gen. John
sicns, Rev. Father Edward Kelly, of St.
Cecilia'S Roman Catholic Church, and Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus
DR.. Gunsaulus said in closing: more than
resolutions of conventions, more than party
promises or official orders, the awful sac
rifce of Garfield and the spirit flowing
from his wounds have fatally struck the
spOils system. More than jails or scat
folds. more than national ornaments or
stringent legislation, the gentle, pure, just
and loving spirit of William Mckinley
flowing from his wounds will at last. under
Gods helping hand, annihilate anarchy.
Civilization costs; but it is worth all it
costs These graves have been dug in the
hearts of the American people, but they
alone will keep the heart of the Nation
strong and pure. 1t is fitting that we should
reflect upon that majestic power for self
sacrifice which won victory after victory,
until it reached it's grandest triumph in
conquest over death itself. When he came
TO death at the very moment when the aims
and purposes of his life had brought forth
a visible harvest of seed, ne transformed
death into messenger of the Highest, and
made him servant of that same self-sac-
rificing spirit that said: 1t is Gods way.

Tributes by Wayne MacVeagh and
Archbishop Ryan.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-Philadel-
phia's tribute to the martyred President
was paid tonight at a great memorial
meeting in the Academy of Music. So
great was the crush. both within and with
out the building, that the spacious Horti-
cultural Hall adjoining the academy was
thrown open for an overflow meeting. Dis
tinguished men of the city from every walk
OF life were either in the audience or on
the stage.
Tributes to the dead were pronounced by
men in high station. Mayor Ashbridge pre-
sided and delivered a short opening address.
The other addresses were made by the
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, who was in Presi-
dent Gardelds Cabinet, Archbishop Ryan,
OF the Roman Catholic diocese, and Assist
ant United States Attorney General James
NJ. Beck. The invocation was delivered by
the Rev. George D. Baker. of the First
by Bishop OH w. Whitaker, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. The hymns
that have stood out most prominently dur
ing the obsequies over the dead leader in
the three cities were sung by the audience.
Resolutions of sympathy for the late Pres
ident and calling upon the government to
suppress anarchy were adopted.
Wayne MacNeagh spoke with consider
able effort when he said that he knew liz
timately each one of the martyred Presi-
dents. He recalled how he was sent for
on the night Lincoln was shot; how he sat
by Garfield when he died just twenty years
ago tonight, and how he heard with horror
of the blow struck N Mckinley .Presi-
dent Mckinley" he said, was a brave and
faithful soldier in one of the most right
eous wars ever waged. He was a good cti-
zen, a good President, a good husband and
he lived and died good man."
Archbishop Ryan said; President Nc

but above all he had the greatness of good

Every Telegraph Instrument stopped
Clicking for Five Minutes.

CHICAGO. Sept. 19.-One feature abso-
lutely unique in history characterized the
Mckinley obsequies. 1t was the silencing
Of the telegraph. Never before since cleo
tricity was first put to use as a means of
communication from city 10 city and from
country TO country has there taken place,
ii is said, anything paralieling even in
small way what was done this afternoon on
a scale that was gigantic. Upon orders
from the officials OF the different telegraph
companies, or upon the common Impulse OF
operators where instructions were not re-
celyed the entire telegraph system OF the
United states was suddenly huSned Tor I'VE
minutes at 2:3O y. m, the nOur set for low
erlng the President body into the grave
at Canton. AT that moment on all the
huge network OF wires from the Atlantic to
the Pacific not a 'sOunder'' in the land
gave single tick, and the great ocean
cables were pulseless as the corpse of the
late chief magistrate himself. More than
once prior TO to-day thousands Of miles of
railway and vast armies OF men, industrial
or military, have paused as tribute to the
dead, but the cessation of the telegraph for
such q cause, OF. indeed, for any reason, IS
without precedent in the worlds record. 1t
is estimated that fully 10000 telegraph OPP
orators thus simultaneously paid homage
to the memory of Mckinley. The total
number of miles of wire affected was up
wards of a million and a quarter. In the
Western Union Chicago office the hundreds
of operators all arose at their desks when
the moment came, and, joining their voices,
sang Win deep IeelnS the IIeSluSnl >
hymn, Nearer my God. to Thee" The
wires of the Associated Press, the Postal
Telegraph Company, the North American
Company. the Chicago and Milwaukee Com
pany and ali similar organizations were in
cluded in the general stoppage. Probably
the most remarkable method Of producing
complete silence on the wires, free from
any possibility of interruption. was en-
ployed by the Postal Telegraph Company.
At given signal the dynamos were discon-
nected at once, literally draining the cir
