the Irish-Americans of Honolulu. Fol
William Redmond, one of the Redmond
brother patriots of the Emerald Isle
was in town. His coming was herald.
ed in a letter to Col. G. j. Mccarthy
from a San Francisco man, which sale
that the Irish Patriotic League of Bos-
ton had written to San Francisco, CIV
ing the information that Mr.. Redmond
was to be a passenger in the steamer
Ventura from Australia this month
and requesting that if it was so the
correspondent should be notified by
cable
Col. Mccarthy, on the arrival of the
Ventura, found that Mr.. Redmond was
on board and promptly cabled the fact
In the meantime the Honolulu lodge OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians be-
came busy. 1t appointed committee
of reception consisting of Thos. F. Nc
Tighe, president of the lodge, p. Nc
Inerny, j. ]. Sullivan, P. NJ. Ryan,
e. A. McInerny, John Sheehan, John
A. Hughes, C. j. Mccarthy and James
Dodd. Then the Ladies' Auxiliary of
the A. o. H. was notified and it ap-
pointed Mrs. McTighe, Mrs ]. ]. Sulli-
van, Mrs. Cowes, Miss Bowling, Mrs.
Duggan, Mrs. Raven and Miss Dough-
erty as a committee to receive Mrs.
Redmond. who. it was stated, was ac-
companying her husband
Every member of the committees
was on the Oceanic wharf when the
Ventura was lying out in the roadstead
ness, who. however, was represented by
his brother, Garrit Hughes. It was
stated that there was a case of small

quence of which it was doubtful if any
Of her passengers would be allowed to
land.
An elaborate program had been ar
ranged by the Hibernians, including a
tally-ho drive to the Pali and the
Bishop Museum, followed by a visit to
the Aquarium and lunch at the Mo-
ana Hotel. The smallpox scare else
where reported, however, interfered
with the well-laid plan and sent it all
'agley."
1t was 1850, therefore, before a steam
LAUGH landed Mr.. and Mrs. Redmond
at the Oceanic wharf Mr.. Redmond
introduced Mr. and Mrs. Luke Martin
of New York City and Mr.. Hutchin-
son of London. England, to the joint
committee as his friends. To make a
long story short, the Pail was cut out
and Jim Quinn, with his six-in-hand

Museum. 1t was not museum day."
but President McTighe had taken out
special permit for admission to the
institution. Stopping at the Oceanic
Steamship Co.'S agency, nothing more
cheering could be ascertained than
that the steamer would leave at p.
m. So haste married all good inten-
tions from thenceforth, yet could not
altogether destroy the charms of Ha-
waiian scenery in the limited time for
showing it to the distinguished visitors.

isn't that beautiful? Have you ever
seen such charming combinations OF
color in foliage and f1owers?" Over and
over again Mr.. Redmond asked his
wife these questions as the coach rat

Museum to the Moana Hotel.
To member of the Advertiser staff,
who was a special guest on account of
his acting as Irish Minister Plenipo-

of the Hon. John Dillon, MP, and Sir
Thomas Esmonde, Mp, sixteen years
ago. Mr.. Redmond talked about his
present tour around the world.
Il left the old country in November
last Mr. Redmond said. MY trip to
Australia was made principally for my
health. I have been there about six
months. Having a great many friends
there. l go TO that country every now
and then for a health trip.

Redmond was born in Australia and
her people are today residents of that
country.
So Mr.. Redmond continued, while

invited in many places to give my views
on the Irish question
Il have found a great deal of SYM
Pathy for home rule in Australia. Car
dinal Moran inaugurated a movement
for assistance to the agitation for home
rule. There was an immense gathering
III Sydney two or three days before
left there. 1t was presided over by
Cardinal Moran and six thousand peo-
pie were present in the sydney town
hall at the meeting

sympathy for home rule Will be passed
by the Parliament of the Common

leader of the opposition in the House of
Commons, appeared TO be favorable to
