men, is among the possibilities of the
coming season.
Lord Rosebery has been here sew
eral times, and there was no eXpecta-
ton that he would repeat the ex-
perience until it was known that the
beautiful widow of Naylor-Leyland
was to visit the country OF her birth
for the first time since she left it as
Jennie Chamberlain, of Cleveland.
So potent were her charms that she
took London by storm. In few
months after her arrival half the
court beauties of England were green
with envy. King Edward, who was
then the Prince of Wales, made no
effort to conceal his admiration of
her. 1t was His Royal Highness who
made the match between her and Sir
Hubert Naylor-Leyland, an immensely
wealthy man and one of his closest
friends.
She who had been Jennie Chamber
lain then found herself mistress of
one of the half dozen most sumptuOus
residences in London-a veritable
palace at Hyde Park Gate, with
marble staircases and a gallery of
priceless paintings.
This happened while Consuelo Van
derbilt was yet in pinafores. The lat
ter was before long to become the
wife of a Duke, but she had millions.
while Jennie Chamberlain had little
besides her beauty.
The Prince of Wales attended the
first ball given by the new mistress
of the Hyde Park Gate house, and
stood sponsor for her first son. The

his residences-witht the cornet every
where, the retinue of retainers, the
ample and varied equipages. You
may see him in the Summer time trav-
cling from one great house in Buck
lnghamshire to another with postil-
lions, quite as if he lived in the days
before the railway; and, in short, he
is grand seigneur to his finger tips.
Soon-if the news that Newport
hears with so much interest is
authentic-Lord Rosebery will have
another house to flee to when his own
bore or fail to inspire him-the palace
at Hyde Park Gate, with it's staircases
of Carrara marble and its paintings by
Murillo, it's tapestries by Kopu, it's
panels of Della Robbia faience, and it's
mistress, who is the subject of Amelia
Kussner's very exquisite miniature in
ivory.

his home and gentility of manner. He
was delighted to learn we were Amer
leans, and explained that he had many
friends in our country and in Eng
land.
We arrived in Oberammergau Sat
urday, and Sunday morning before
sunrise we heard the pounding of
the hammer and voices below our
windows. We saw men and women
working at the stalls for the fair. By
everything had been set in order and
the men, women and children has
tened to church. Every seat was oc-
cupied; besides many were stand

was beautiful, consisting of a full

trained.
If the traveller who goes to Ober-

MEETING WAS HELD
UNDER THEIR HATS
THE OPPOSITION STOCKHOLDERS
GATHER WHILE POLICE LOOKED
ON-sQUABBLE OVER AFFAIRS.

A special stockholders meeting OF the
First American Savings & Trust Com
pany of Hawaii was called by w. t
Summers, representing more than 20
per cent of the capital stock of the COM
pany for IL o'clock noon today in the
office of the company, an office parti-
, toned off from the First National Bank
offices, on the Fort street side of the
! bank. The call was issued by Thomas
L. Dillon, secretary pro tenn, and the
object set forth was the election Of Di-
rectors of the company. Five hundred
and five shares were represented by
those interested in the call of the conn
pany, and among those for whom 1t was
called besides w. 7. Summers, were
George Macfarlane, j. A. Magoon and
T. I. Dillon.
The same advertisement calling this
meeting was inserted beneath another
call for December s, issued by Nj. b.
Snyder, also at the request OF stock
holders holding twenty per cent and
more of the capital stock. This call rep
resents the interests of those now in
control, headed by Cecil Brown, presi-
dent of the First National Bank Both
sides claim control of stock and wish
to elect certain directors.
The sides taken are much the same
as in the fight over the officers of the

ly expected that there would be trouble
of a physical kind at this mornings
meeting, and Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth and Dan Renear waited OUTSIDE
the bank in the interests of peace ard
harmony, while two husky looking gla-
diators were lined up inside, one on
each side of the cashiers window, pre-
pared to act as "chuckers out" should
the occasion arise.
Nothing happened. Colonel Macrar-
lane, Magoon, Dillon, Summers,
and the rest came along separately and
wedged themselves in the little sLace

Z looked like a meeting of conspiratol B.
There was no room for minute talking
and no room for chairs. They met un-
der their hats. The conversation was
whispered and brief. The gladiatnrs
remained on guard inside and Chilling
worth and his trusty aide lolled against
the telephone post on the corner. 1t
was all very tame affair. One gentle
man connected with the other side
strolled past and repassed once with
curious glance and Il smile but there
was no covert" act.
After the melting Messrs. Dillon and
Magoon stated that the meeting had
been held merely to carry out a pro-
gram and was adjourned until O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon. Another prom
jnent person said that the program
which had been duly carried out was
undertaken by advice of the attorneys
for the interests of those at the meet
ing or represented there. All declined
to discuss questions of control.

AORANGI FROM
THE COLONIES
BRINGS TWO OF THE ALL-BRIT-
ISH CABLE MEN AND THE RE-
SUITS OF MELBOURNE RACE.

The Canadian Australian steamship
Aorangi, Phillips commander, arrived
off port at 4 o'clock this morning and
came up to the Pacific Mail wharf
about 8 o'clock She has very little
freight for this port and but three
passengers. Her through list is not
very heavy either numbering only A.
And she takes a much smaller number
of passengers from this port than usu-
al. She is scheduled to sail at o'clock
for Victoria and Vancouver.
Among her through passengers are
Messrs. F. r. Lucas and T. Clark re-
turning from Suva where they have
been engaged in completing the all
British Pacific cable. They were here
on the Anglia and went with that ves-
sci from here to Tanning Island and
thence on the cable laying trip to Suva.
This stretch of the cable" said Mr..
Lucas, was laid without hitch. We
had no difficulty in picking up the
end of the cable where it had been
buoyed by the Colonia, making the
landing at Tanning and then laying
the cable on to Fiji. We left Mr.. Pin
kerton and Mr.. Hinze at flaming, to
install the cable station and inaugurate
the service there and they came
through here, l believe a week ago on
the Ventura. The Anglia after COM
pleting the work of constructing the
cable tanks at Suva and leaving the
quantity of cable there designed to be
kept in stock at that point for repairs,
leaves for London to load cable for the
line between Honolulu and Manila.
The Iris, the cable repair ship to be
stationed at Suva, has not yet arrived
there.
The cable is working splendidly,
though of course 1t has not passed from
the hands and control of the Telegraph
Maintenance and Construction Com
pany and will not until about the first
of December, that being the time when
the thirty days testing is up After
that it will pass into the hands of the

called"
At Brisbane the passengers learned

cup which was run in the afternoon of
November 4. The winner was "The

PACIFIC CABLE AND
NAVY DEPARTMENT
REAR-ARMIRAL BRADFORD NOT
AWARE THAT MACKAY co. IN
TENDS TO USE THE SURVEY.

WASHINGTON, Nov lin regard
to the construction of the trans-Pacific
cable, Rear-Admiral Bradford reports
that so far as he is aware the Com
mercial Pacific Gable Company has
signified no intention of following the
Government requirement for building
a cable as specified by the President.
The report says that although the Off
GERS of the company appeared anxious
before adjournment of Congress to OBJ
tain the Pacific cable surveys made by
the department no application has been
made at the department for this infor-
nation.
The report says that no statement
has been given out concerning the
route the company intends to follow
nor have steps been taken to prepare
relay stations on American territory
considered necessary by the DEPART
ment, with the exception of acquiring
the site for landing the cable near Ho-
nolulu.

HIGH SEAS AND
GALES OF WIND
SUCH THE CONDITIONS PREVAIL
ING FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES
AROUND THE HAWAIIAN GROUP

Strong winds and high seas prevail
throughout this group of Islands and
for a good many miles around them in
every direction. All incoming vessels
give the same reports of buffeting
waves and stiff gales.
The Aorangi from the southwest, ana
Ihe Nebraskan from the northeast
make the same report.
The island fleet has the same expert
ence. The Lehua on her trip out Mon
day evening to the windward ports of
Molokai was unable to touch at any
but two of it's landings. She did not
even look in at Halawa, her first port
of call, so bOisterouS was the sea. At
Pelekunu she succeeded in landing the
mail and one passenger, though with a
good deal of difficulty, and at the eT-
penditure of a good deal of time. The
only other port at which it was poss-
BILE to effect landing was Kalaupdpa,
which is slightly sheltered. All freight
for this port was landed. Then the
Lehua turned her prov this way and
started for Honolulu with the wind and
sea in her favor, and made almost, if
not quite a record trip. She left Ka-
laupapa at 4:10 o clock in the afternoon
and arrived here at 1856 o'clock, thus
making the trip In five hours and for
ty-five minutes.
Purser Hapai of the Mikahala reports
heavy winds on Kauai since last Fri
day, md very rough seas at all land
ings. The Ke Au 'Hou was weather
bound at Hanalei. There was a very
strong wind and heavy swells crossing
the channel.
The barkentine Benecia which arriv-
ed Sunday with coal from Newcastle is
still anchored outside the harbor. She
is going to Eleele to discharge, and is
already to go, but is waiting the pres
ent tempestuous weather is over be-
fore going to Eleele which would
doubtless prove an inhospitable port in
this kind of weather.
