HONOLULU, Sept. 3o.-Ever since the
news Of the death Of Mckinley was re-
ceived on the 24th, Honolulu has worn an
appearance of mourning and meeting has
followed meeting in honor Of the deceased
statesman. 1t is said that the city has
never before shown such unanimity in
suspending business as on last Saturday,
the day set apart by Governor Dole as a
day Of observance, mourning and prayer.
There was an immense meeting in ka-
Waiahao church, and other meetings have
been held by the Chamber of Commerce,
c. Cizens called together in mass meeting
on the day the news was received, the
various religious organizations in the city
and the fraternal societies, as well as
other associations Of various\ sorts.
Throughout the city store windows are
draped in black.

tary Of Agriculture. The speeches were
full Of expressions Of love and honor for
the memory Of Mr.. Mckinley and dwelt
on the virtues and qualities that had en-
deared him to the people. Several of the
speakers took occasion to denounce an
archists in unmeasured terms and ad-
Vised that drastic measures be taken
against them.
An interesting feature Of the meeting
was the reading of a letter from DR. NJ
d. Mann, one Of the Presidents physi-
clans, to the secretary of the association.
It was dated Buffalo, September 26. and
said:
As President Mckinley was dying stood be

should not be repeated. About an hour later
he said to his wife: Nearer, nv God to

The remarkable mortality from measles
among the natives in Alaska during the past
year appears ascribable largely to the bad
sanitary environment and lack of precaution
against exposure.

The gain in dead-weight carrying ca
pacity for the round trip with the new
machinery will be nearly 1000 tons.
The old machinery indicated $500 horse
power and gave an average speed of 1873
knots per hour, with daily consumption
of SiXty-f1Ve tons of coal.
The new machinery will indicate easily
5000 horsepower and will give a speed of
fifteen knots upon fifty-siX tons of coal.
The maximum horsepower of the ship is
$500, which will drive her at speed of
about sixteen knots per hour.
The ice machine and the refrigerating
plant were built by the Risdon Iron
Works and differ from others, being of
the marine type built especially for
ship purposes, and have a refrigerating
capacity equal to $1,000 feet of space for
each machine, the entire plant being in
duplicate. The ice machine will produce
enough frozen material at one time to
supply the entire ships company in
abundance for twentyfour hours.

that he was to receive only the interest

the entire fortune was to be at his dis

his last extremity found him almost pen
niless. Had he lived but thirty days more
he would have been a rich man and his
widow would have come into possession of
his wealth without question or contro-

great probabilities of litigation over the

hung over the ocean, so no real test of
speed could be made, nevertheless enough
was done to show that the mail boat is
equal to all the requirements of the con-
tract and that she will be able to hold
her own in any company on the Pacific.
From the time she was launched, in 1888,
up to last February the Alameda was in
continuous service, and during all that
time never met with a mishap of any
consequence, nor was she laid up for re-
pairs. When the Ventura, Sonoma and
Sierra were completed the directors of
the company decided to modernize both
the Alameda and the Mariposa. The
former was the first to go out of COM
