ing to order, announced that 1t was
meeting Of citizens, called to arrange
for a public meeting of expression of
coincidence and sympathy upon the
great loss which has come to the Unit
cd States ia the death of the President.
There had been made, he said. q sug-
gestion that there should be appointed
q committee to arrange for meeting
such as was held upon the occasion
OF the death of the Queen, but that the
meeting was open for any suggestion
from any one.
+. c. Jones advised the appointment
Of committee to arrange a line Of
common action. and moved for u COM
mittee Of seven to be appointed by tho
chair.
| Geo. X. Carter thought that the
committee should not only arrange Tor
memorial services, but for a Uniform
plan Of outward expression Of sorrow.
Some houses had flags at half mast
and others not, and 1t was the same
with the draping of business fronts.
Rev. W. d. Westervelt related the
course taken by the Ministerial Union
elsewhere reported. He approved of a
| as In ,Ta ,l ~ that n
business day should be set apart for
memorial exercises. when all business
should he suspended.
| Mr.. Bishop suggested that the com
mittee to be appointed should send
telegram Of coincidence to the Secre.
tary OF the Interior and perhaps to
Mrs. Mckinley. by the steamer Aorangl
sailing at 4 o'clock that afternoon.
Mr.. Swanzy spoke substantially as
follows: Il desire TO join with Mr.
Atherton In secOnding the resolution
presented by Mr.. Jones. think thu

n hard blow not only to this Territor!
but to all the States and Territories
and a blow that is felt all over tn
world. President Mckinley has file,
the lofty position to which he wa
raised by the people with highest pa
triotism, unblem'shed intergrity an,
mots scrupulous honesty. He has earne
for himself the respect, admiration an
love OF many millions OF people. W
might almost say that he shares wit
Washington the JOY of being first l
the hearts OF his countrymen. II
difficult to fathom the sorrow that ha
gone all over the world. The hand G
the assassin has done its deadly wor
and 1t behooves MS to express our sol
row for the public loss. and our syn
pathy with those beside whose sorro
ours is insignificant The most carr
est utterance In our power, 1t must
sadly admitted. will yet he futile to Il
the aching Void
Mr.. Spencer moved an amcndmcn
which Mr.. Jones accepted, that Il
committee have nine members.
President Irwin being requested
appolnt the committee asked II It we
understood that 1t should represent Il
ipeople OF Honolulu regardless OF nj
tionality and creed.
