TACOMA READY
FOR NOVEL TRIP

At daybreak this morning the United
States cruiser Tacoma will depart from
Honolulu on one of the most interesting
voyages ever taken by an American
warship. The vessel is to zig-zag across
the Pacific between Honolulu and san
Francisco in the effort to discover a
lost island one which is partly
legendary and partly believed to have
real existence.
Mr.. Hague, of the U. S. Survey De-
partment at Washington, who came
here On the steamship Mongolia, viii go
with the Tacoma, and it will be his duty
to look after soundings. According TO
a naval officer here it is not. to be sup
posed that the Tacoma viii look for
peaks or mountains rising abruptly out
OF the sea, but soundings will have to
be taken with minute care A plateau
will have to be found and this followed
along in the belief that it may pos
siDly begin to slope upward to the sur
face of the water. Every plateau viii
not slope upward and there may be a
thousand and one disappointment.

Defender Arrives.

The schooner Defender arrived in
port late yesterday afternoon after a
voyage of thirty-eight days from Puako,
Hawaiian Islands Much apprehension
had been felt about the starch little
vessel, as she usually makes tie run IN
about twenty days. The longest run
she had ever made previously was
twenty-four days, go there was some
alarm for her safety. Captain Helling-
sen reports that the reason for the long
passage was that for nine days after
leaving Puako lack of winds caused
him to remain in sight of that place.
On the tenth day, however, he got un-
der way and experienced light north
eriy airs for the rest of the voyage

HONOLULU
IS INVITED
To Participate in Debut
OF Oklahoma City
at st. Louis.

I .
Oklahoma through its metropolis, Ok
lahoma City, offers her sister Territory
of Hawaii, though her metropolis, a
graceful sort of representation at the ST.
Louis Exposition. The proposition will
cost Honolulu or Hawaii nothing, yet
has promise of excellent advertising
value, and the Hawaii Promotion Com
mitfee with the backing of the COM
Inercial bodies may find it worth while
to accet the kindly invitation
A letter has been received in Governor
Carriers mail from G. L. Rockwell, Sec
rotary oklahoma City Worlds Fair
Affair, conveying the invitation to Hoo
nolulu with full particulars. The occa-
sion viii be "Olxlahoma City Day. fixed
for September 5. and the motive a eele-

merit of the age of Sweet sixteen this
yea of the Oklahoma metropolis With
IN Its sixteerf years, the city has grown,
as Mr.. Rockwell says, from a scattering
tent town OF the wild plains TO a city
with tfirty-fiye thousand busy, prosper
ous inhabitants, having sixteen miles of
paved streets, twenty miles OF street
railway, churches of all denominations,
public schools and colleges, in fact, a
thoroughly equipped city.
President Roosevelt is announced to
deliver an address on Oklahoma City

beautiful young lady. Miss Miriam

of honor from many of the important
cities of the United States, also from
abroad
Cities in every quarter of the globe
have been invited TO participate IN the
City of Sweet Sixteen's" debut. Ho-
nolulu's bid is couched in the following
language:
If we could receive few words
of greetings from Our Neighbor in the
Isles, we would appreciate it most high
". This would not only complete our
program in most magnificent manner,
but would be hailed and applauded by
of voices. who are looking
forth to this occasion as one OF the most
unique and impressive ceremonies at the
great Worlds Fair.
The Ladies Committee will arrange
to have beautiful young lady to act as
sponsor for your city, when hearing from
you that the greetings are forthcoming.
Chances are that Honolulu will have
several beautiful young daughters of her
own at the Exposition on September 5,
each quite capable of gracefully acquit-
ing herself as maid of honor to Sweet
debutante, while also accom-
DIished enough to say Aloha in several
languages.

under a cloud all week. 1t was feared
further failures could be with difficult
~ escaped as losses have been very
serious in many directions. But to-
day the ginners' report from Wash
ington sustained all that the most con-
sentative people in the trade have
been saying about last years crop of
cotton.
Since November our own figures have
been that the yield was somewhat be-
tween 100000 and 10,4O0 900 bales.
The report from Washington to-day
shows a crop of about 10,050,000 bales
of 500 pounds each. Granting the pos
sible excess of a few bales, as is usual
ly done with department reports, and
it is hardly possible that this years
crop will prove over 10,300,000 bales.
Under these conditions there is no
escape from the belief that there will
be a cotton famine this summer, and
every bale of good cotton will, between
now and then, find a ready market at
prices higher than those prevailing
this week. While the speculative posi-
ton has received a severe blow by
the failure of the bull operator in New
York let no one who believes in
the worth of cotton be daunted by this
untoward event.
If cotton is worth Is cents or Is cents
or II cents a pound, it will sell there.
If this crop should prove what Wash
ington says it is only 10000,000, prices
in Liverpool will go to 9 pence in this
country higher than at any point
reached this season.
