for beginning the construction of the
new craft. The wooden keel mold has
been nearly completed, and it is expect

lead will be poured. In speaking of the
material for construction. he said that it
was undecided as yet whether bronze or
nickel steel would be used for plating,
but that the matter was now under con-

about the same as that of the COnSu-
tuition. over $4,000 square feet.
Should there be no delay in obtaining
the plating material, Mr.. Iselin said he
looked for an early launching.

THE END DRAWS NEAR
AMERICAN BISHOP ARRIVES ON
VENTURA.
Bishop Nichols of San Francisco VIII
Organize the.Territory as an Ameri-
can Missionary District.

Bishop w. L. Nichols of California
who comes TO Honolulu to undertake
the transfer of the episcOpalian church
as the representative of the American
episCopate arrived on the Ventura yes
terday and established himself, with
his daughter at the MOana no.
tel, where he will stay until his busi-
ness is accomplished. After everything
mas been satisfactorily settled short
stay will be made with Major Davis
and Mrs. Davis at Camp Mckinley,
who are old and personal friends
of the cleric.
Depot Quartermaster Captain Will
hanson has placed an office at the dis
posal of Bishop Nichols who visited
the drill shed grounds early this morn
ing, being driven in from town with
Major Davis in the army wagon, and
expressed his appreciation of the SER
vice. Announcement will be made later
le5 TO wien he viii take possession.
Accompanied by Major Davis, Bishop
Nichols visited the Capitol building to
call on the government officials.
The governors council was in session
when they arrived and they were re-
ceiyed in the council room. COmmis-
siOner Wray Taylor who has an old
acquaintance with the Bishop, also had
a short chat.
Preliminary arrangements for the
transfer VIII De held on Monday WnlCn
is the last day of the jurisdiction Of
the present Bishop of Honolulu. The
visitor has declined an offer to preach
i'm the cathedral on Sunday morning
and will attend the services merely as
a visiting bishop.
The duration of Bishop Nichols stay
will not be a lengthy one but will in
clude a few days of leisure after the
transfer has gone through and the
other work of organizing the new mis-
siOnaTy district of Hawaii as a branch
of the American missionary episcopal
church is established. The missionary
bishop to be elected at the meeting of
the House of Bishops at CinCipnati on
April 16, will probably take over his
charge as soon as possible and the stay
of Bishop Nichols may be extended un-
til his arrival.
Bishop Nichols, who has been in
charge of his Californian diocese for
eleven years, is eminently the church,
man in appearance. OF medium height
and spare stature, his presence is dig
nified and courteous, but aside from the
fashion of this clerical garb there is
nothing to denote the church to which
he belongs. His apparel is purely con-
ventiOnal and bears none of the out
ward and visible signs of apron, shovel
hat and CATERS that mark the Anglican
bishop.
