| quet in his honor and it had not been
definitely decided whether it would be
possible for the Admiral to accept or
not. AT ten o'clock last night, how
ever, the Flag Lieutenant sent up
word to an Advertiser reporter that the
ship would sail Wednesday evening,
which was taken to mean that the Ad-
miral would be compelled to decline the
proffered invitation. as the Merchants
Association banquet takes place on the
9Th of January.
Lieut.. Sargent says that it is not
likely that the Princeton will be order
ed to Honolulu because the Princeton
has been here and it is not consideredS
proper to send down a ship to Homo
lulu that has been here if there is one
that has not visited this port The
reason for that. the Lieutenant ex-
planned, is that Honolulu is considered
one of the prize drawings in the sched-
ule of duty, as all of the officers enjoy
being stationed at this port, even if
for very short time. The cruiser
Marblehead is possibly, perhaps prob
ably, the next ship to come here That
will probably be in April, after the tar
get practice is over.
Shortly after the arrival Of the Chi
cago on the Pacific Coast, the first
class cruiser Charleston IS expected
from the east. She is one Of the newest
boats and is like the Milwaukee. The
AdmfraIs pennant will be then trans
ferred to her 1t had been the inten-
ton to send the Concord and two tor
pedo boats with the Chicago to Homo
lulu, but the Concord could not be got
ready in time Hence only the flagship
and the auxiliary Saturn came.
Lieutenant Commander White the
Executive Officer of the Chicago de-
sires it stated that he regrets to see
that he was understood as voicing the
opinions of the officers Of the ship in re-
gard to future visits of the ship 10 this
port, as, Of course, he disclaims any
authority to make such a statement on
their behalf.
The AdmiraTs flag was flying from
the Chicago yesterday, the hunting
party having returned from its MolO-
kai shoot in the IroquOis about 1870 a.
m. 1t is reported that they enjoyed
themselves and We're fairly successful
in baggine birds. They saw some deer,

FLAGSHIP CHICAGO SAILS
ON WEDNESDAY, EVENING

The orders will be issued today for
the sailing of the flagship Chicago on
Wednesday night, the 9th, as pre-
viously reported in these columns.
Speaking of the matter yesterday
afternoon, the AdmiraPs Flag Lieuten-
ant, Mr. Sargent, said that the timer
ary of the cruiser had been made out
covering not alone this trip but also the
general duty of the ship, including the
target practice off San Diego. 1t was
not advisable to vary over much there
from. He said that the Admiral was

GREAT IRRIGATION WORK
ON KOLOA PLANTATION

and although for many years planted
with cane, the soil was so wet as to
render drainage bitches necessary.
Mr. McLane hit upon the plan OF
abandoning the entire field for cane
planting and of converting the greater
portion of the basin into an immense
reservoir, into which should be led
bitches to carry the freshet water
which at that time ran out to sea.
The proposition was a large one, and
two questions arose; one as to the
possibility of there being sufficient
rainfall in the ''gap' to fill such a
reservoir, and the other as to their
ability to handle such a volume OF
water as the freshets produce.
The first problem was settled by a
survey, showing a watershed of over
seventeen square miles back of the
plantation, which, with the average
fall as shown by the records, would be
far in excess of the capacity of the
reservoir; while the second was to be
met with two large inlets connecting
the reservoir with the main course of
the mountain stream, and a system of
cutoff gates for safety.
AS the success of the undertaking
meant a storage of sufficient water to
enable the company to take in twelve
hundred acres of virgin land makai OF
the mill, as well as the shutting down
of the pump, the directors endorsed
Mr. McLane's scheme and he was
directed to go ahead with the under
taking. Work was begun in February
of the present year. An earth dam
3147 feet in length, with an average
height of feet, and having a base of
60 feet, was built across the lower
end of the valley. At this stage, work
was suspended in order to allow the

NO DEVELOPMENTS
In the Case Of Disappearance Of
William, Thompson.

Foxcroft. Maine, April 3.-(SpeciaD.-
I'D to Monday night no new develop
ments had appeared in the Thompson
,lisappearance case which has been at
tr:cting more or less attention in these
parts during the past few days. The
story Of this strange case is as follows
Last summer one Wellington Thomp-
son. residence unknown, was employed
bv Il. NJ Packard. proprietor of the
Lake House at the head of Sebec Lake
TO do the numerous odd jobs which
have to be done about the average no.
tel He worked throughout the summer
months and during Che latter part OF
November finished his labOrs. Mr.. Pack
lrG. knowing him to be good worker
and capable in every way secured Tor
him Il Job i'm the lumber camps OF Lam
caster & Sawyer when are located on
Ship Pond stream, about nine miles
from the Lake House. TO the eastward.
AS he wished for Il short rest before
Going to the woods he sent his trunk
and other belongings to the camps py
a tote team which happened to be at
Willimantic. About week after send
ing in his outfit he started for the
camps OH foot. This was the last seen
of him by any person at either the
Lake House or at Willimantic.
it was supposed that he was at the
camps during the winter and the true
state OF affairs did not become known
until one day in the latter part of FAST
week when Mr.. Packard CHANGED to sec
one Of the owners of the camps. He
asked him how he liked Thompson at
the camp The lumb@rman replied that
he Rad never turned up and he sup
posed all of the time thai he had chang
ed his mind. lie also had wondered why
he had not had his trunk and other
things removed from the camps IL ne
had decided not to come.
About the only reasonable expiana-
ton for the disappearance of Thompson
is that ne either wandered away and
perished from the extreme cold or else
broke through the thin ice on some
OF the numerous brooks or ponds ana
lost his life by drowning. If he is dead
his remains have not been discovered
and il is understood here that search
ing party was organized Monday to go
over the ground supposed to have been
covered by the missing man. Not much
is known of the mans history other
than that he has son studying medi-
cine in a medical college in Frederick
