minded me that Governor Dole, having
entered upon his judicial duties, his

you assert that you have not yet,

office as Treasurer of the Territory
but assure me that it is necessary for
me to take some definite action pre-
sumably in reference to such resigna-
tion-before your acceptance of the
responsibility as Acting Governor, of

Responding to the above. I do not

government in any of it's departments
or that such action or non-action on

Grand Jury Has postoftice Case.

Hawaii would not be itself If it did
not furnish it's table with a share Of
any spice of scandal in the mainland
marts of gossip.
They are not yet done over there
with the postoffice revelations and
their sequence of blighted regulations
Whether Hawaii has share of the
main series or only something like
doctored postage stamp case may
shortly be known-that is, through
grand jury report. Happily, though,
nothing may develop more than an I'M
ineligible statement of cases investi-
gated without tangible result.
What is known is that the Federal
grand jury for the District of Hawaii
is investigating postoffice case.

Importance. On the broad standard of
American citizenship he believed the
President had done honor to Hawaii
He knew of no position on earth which
was greater than that of an American
Judge.
j. NJ. Vivas recalled visit he had
paid Mr.. Dole on his accession to the
Governorship. II told you then" the
speaker said, that your place was on
the bench. 1 am glad that you are
again on the bench. Congratulations
should not come alone from the bar but
from all young Americans" The late
Judge Estee as guardian of the con-
stitution initiated many into the prin-
ciples of Americanism. The President
must be very careful in his appoint
ments, and he paid compliment to the
Territory of Hawaii of which every
young man in the Territory should be-
proud.
George A. Davis said the bar could
look forward to the administration of
impartial justice by Judge Dole. Re-
ferring to the Mankichi case, he spoke
Of the narrow majority by which Judge
Estee had been overruled and said a
motion was to be made in the u. s.
England as in America it was a high
honor to be called to the bench, The
speaker then introduced his recent
troubles in the Territorial courts, say
ing that when enemies assailed him on
every side Governor Dole was silent
and did not ask for his resignation from
the Honolulu district magistracy. NO
mistake was made he concluded, lin
appointing you to the position which
Judge Estee so honorably and ably
filed
BUSINESS BEGINS.
Clerk Mailing then read the commits
sion and the subscribed oath of Judge
Dole.
Judge Dole said there had been no
opportunity for an expression of senti-
ments in that court relating to the
death Of Judge Estee. He would there
fore appoint District Attorney Breck-
ons, Judge Hartwell and Mr.. RawlinS
as a committee to draft memorial reso-
lutions and report
Mr.. Breckons, on behalf of the Fed
eral officials, rendered congratulations
to Judge Dole. He then moved for an
the court the next morning all defend
ant against whom indictments had been
presented. Also he asked for an order
for the attendance of grand and trial
jurors.
| The orders were made, and the roll
! of grand jurors called. The court was
then adjourned until 10 O'Clock this
morning.

CARRIERS FINAL NOTE.

"a. n. Kepoikai, Esq, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-I have received your let
ter in response to my note of this
morning, and I am exceedingly sorry
that you have failed to prove man of
your word. l had every reason to ex-
pect from so prominent an Hawaiian,
and one who had such high stand
among your race that I could rely
upon the statement, repeated twice to
me, that it was your intention to with
draw and leave me free to select such
heads of departments as would work
with me and in whom I could repose
every confidence. Such confidence is
now out of the question.
Sincerely yours,
GEORGE R. CARTER

 "Then two Chiuymsn drop in and see the rest of the game, and, thay both tell the same story. There's a five dollar pot on the table, and Jack gifts threes and draws down to his hand and bets $1.

He yells out that he has been cheated, but the Chinymen swear that it was all fair play. Mike leaves a dollar on the table, accordin' to Hoyle, and saun- ters of with the balance, and Jack Taylor cries out that he is ruined man and falls down In fit. 1t was after he had recovered that he comes crawling down to Red Dog and hear his vail fyom the hee daEknees4

Leo Gets Gold Cross From New York.
 ROME, June 17.-Count Camille Pee ci, the pope's nephew, presented the pontiff in the name of Charles Astor Bristed and his daughters of New York a magnificent gold pectoral cross adorned with diamonds, pearls and ru- bies. His holiness was much pleased with the gift and charged his nephew to convey his appreciation and thanks to the donors. The conversation during Count Peceis visit turned on the re- cent reports of serious illness and even the death of the pontif, at which Pope Leo showed considerable irrita- ton and annoyance. His nephew in reassuring him said: Your holiness must keep In miDd the Italian proverb, The announcement of ones death all ways adds years to one's ltfe.' This as- sures that you will live to see hun dred" at which remark the pope laughed heartily.

ONLY A FIGUREHEADI
Government of Servia Will Be 8 Military Dictatorship.
ARMY NOW RULES WHOLE COUNTRY
Nigh official Claims That the Royal Tragedy Was am Act of Mercy and Saved the ServianG
 From Civil War.

BELGRADE, Servia, June 17.-The position of King Peter I. promises to be little more than that of a royal cap- tive. The real government of the coun. try will be military dictatorship uri- der the leaders of the revolution, Colo nel Maschin and Colonel Mitschitch. The new king is almost without any personal adherents, and the ruling spir- It's of the army, it is thought probable, would just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor should be op- pose their aims.
 At the present moment the whole country is under military rule, and, al- though no projects in the country dis tricts have been revoked, each is ac- companied by an. army officer who at- tends the prefect wherever he goes, even to the telephone. This policy has led to one good result. Not a single case of disorder anywhere has been reported.
 Extremely forcible arguments were found necessary to suppress the radi- cal aspirat tions of republic. The fore most advocate of the creation of re- publican form of government was Lju- bomir Schickovics, the editor of the Belgrade Odjek. Finding him imper- vious to arguments, the conspirators Invited him to dinner at the Officers club During the dinner his host told him that unless he agreed to support Prince Peter Kara ageorgevitch there would be one head less in Belgrade that night. NJ. Schickovics yielded to the force of this reasoning and accept ed the situation. He is now minister of justice in the new government
 The deliberat tions of the members of the senate and skupshtina on the re- publican question were materially hastened by the attendance of one of the leaders of tbe revolution, Colonel Mitschitch. The colonel took no part in the proceedings, but his presence was significant enough to induce the members to accept the army's choice. Premier Avakumovics told the depu- ties that it was useless to talk of re- public, as neither Russia nor Austria would permit 1t. He further urged that the proposed new constitution would give King Peter far less power than that enjoyed by the president of the United States
 One of the highest officials of the present government asked a number of foreign journalists what Europe thought Of the way in which the Ser yian revolution was loarried out. He was told bluntly that it was considered c brutal act. He thereupon explained that from his point Of view the assas- sination of the king and queen was an act of mercy, as by utterly destroying the dynasty instead of deporting the sovereign the likelihood of civil war was precluded.
 The king of Servfa at Geneva has re- ceived the following message from the czag:
 Learning that the senate and the skupshtina had formally proclaimed you king of Servia, I venture to ex- press to your majesty sincere wishes for the prosperity of your country and the hope that God may come to your assistance in the enterprise you have undertaken foTs the Happiness of your people"

 BOSTON, June T.-The historic old Liberty bell after triumphal journey of more than $50 miles, has reached Boston to play its silent part in the eel ebration of Charlestown's big holiday. Enthusiastic receptions along the route had called for stops of unexpected length, and the special train bearing the bell, with its guardians, arrived late.
 A crowd of many thousands waited patiently for more than two hours and made rush for the gates when the train rolled in, but 8 strong guard was maintained, and only the reception committee was allowed to enter the train.
