BeckleY W a nts Estee.

SAN Francisco, May 29-M. NJ.
Estee will probably seek the Gov
ernorship OF Hawaii at the expira-
tion OF the present term OF Sanford
B. Dole, or in the event Of the lat
ters health preventing his resuming
his office, Estes will, it is said, en-
deavor to secure President McKip-
ley's appointment to the high office,
E,tee ia now Federal Judge OF
Hawaii. Governor Dole at last re
port was totally prostrated with a
nervous affection that threatened to
preclude his taking up duties OF the
Governorship again. He had re-
tired from Honolulu to the Waianse
Mountains, and at the order OF his
physician, Dr., Wood, was to be ex-
cluded absolutely from visitors aud
from participation in govern mental
affairs. Estee's name has been
brought forward as Dole's successor
by the crisis in the latter's health,
aud among the natives and the In
dependent Republicans is undoub,-
edly the choice for the place.
Robert Wilcox, delegate from Ha-
waii t, Congress, said few days
ago, when here on his way Estt
from Hawaii, that Estee enjoyed the
confidence and esteem OF his consti
tuents more than any other hite
mau of the Islands who mixed in
political affairs. Wilcox told Con-
gressman Wood Of this State. who
sits next to him in he Hous. ct
Representatives,, that be had ad-
vised bis countrymen to-, consult
Judge Estee on all matters vital to
their political interests. Vice
Speaker Frederick Beckley Of the
Hawaiian House of Representatives
said before leaving on the transport
Lswton for his home th,t Es'ee was
the choice OF the majority OF Ha-
waiians for Governor, but that in
the memorial presented To Presi-
dent M"Kiuley from the Hawaiian
Legislature asking for DoIe's Gust
ing from the Goyernorship they had
purpossly reftaiued from naming
! any successor, believing that it
might injure their prospects, Of hav-
ing Dole put out if they limited at
any personal ambition. Judge
Estee was appointed Federal Judge
for II avail bv resident Mckinley
shortly after Hawaii became Ter
ritory.

appointment to the President. What
the outcome will be cannot say at this

The article contains, among other
things, the following paragraph:
"A dainty luncheon was served at /
o'clock, followed by an enjoyable pro-
gram embracing orchestral and vocal
selections by the young ladies OF the
college, interspersed with lively
waltzes by Reynolds orchestra. A
feature Of the exercises was the
melodious singing of the Misses Clar-
Ice, Daisy, Mabel and Mary Ena, pupils
from Honolulu. Their rendering OF
20 Night, Thou Peaceful Night" and
other selections in quartet, with all the
rich harmony for which the people of
the Islands are noted, was greatly APP
preciated by the crowd that packed the
large auditorium. Miss Ella Bethune,
a pupil from Sonoma, rendered a
French selection in clear and vibrant
soprano. Miss Clarice Ena's mezzo
soprano voice lent new beauty to the
well-known Lead, Kindly Light,

New York, Feb. 5.-Concerning the

rangements may be in contemplation
for changing the status of the NJ. l..

other southwestern lines, no definife
and authoritative statements are yet

are many confident predictions by
high Authority, but what form the
plans will take is not known. The
building of the Kansas City Southern
materially affected the NJ, X. G. L.,
both companies controlling ront s
from Kansas City to the gulf. Since
the reorganization of the Kansas City
Southern, however, the former keen
rate competition has been consider
ably modified and both properties
have been doing well. Any extension

MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.
The State Superintendent issues u Cir
cular In Favor OF a TwO-Mill
State Tax.

Topeka, Kan, Feb 5.-State Super
intendent Frank Nelson, chairman Of
the Legislative committee of the State
Teachers association, yesterday is
sued u circular showing why the bill
providing for two-mill state tax for
school purposes should pass. He says:
statistics on file in the state super.
intendents office indicate that the
state is not giving equal educational
advantages to each child of school
age. A strong district, under our
present system of taxation, is able to
maintain long term of school with
well-equipped teacher at a low levy,
while a weak district, by making the
full levy allowed by law, can main
tain only u short term of school, and
often with a poorly paid and inefli-
cient teacher The state can do no
greater service to he boys and girls
of to-day than to give as such wise
and conservative tax levy for school
purposes as will equali2e. the burden
of taxation and give to all children
OF our state equal educational advan-
tages."
