Postmaster Jos. G. Pratt entertained
Senator Warren of Wyoming, his old
home, while the Manchuria was in port.
| This has been a glorious day to
me-" said Secretary Taft as he passed
up the gangway to the Manchuria' S
deck.
Il was always interested in the Ha-
| waiian Islands and am glad I came on
this trip" said Representative Gros-

A passenger On the Manchuria said
| that Secretary Taft had talked with

yesterday from his Moanalua orchards.
AS the Manchuria swung off on her
way TO the Orient Miss Roosevelt was
seen on deck, both hands full of vio-
lets and stretched out toward the shore
in a farewell gesture.
If everybody who wanted an invita-
ton TO the lunch had got it, every
room in the Hawaiian Hotel would
have had dining tables, with an over
flow supply on the lawn.
The freedom of the city was extended
to all who Wore the souvenir badges.
No fares We're collected from them on
the street cars and the resources of the
city were at their disposal.
Evidently the Government has not
flags enough to go round. The tall
flagpole near the front entrance of the
CapitoI grounds was conspicuous by it's
baroness on this suspicious occasion.
Admiral Beckley had his champion
sized Hawaiian flag set to tn breeze
on the tall fagpole on Beckley terrace.
Punchbowl heights, yesterday. 1t was
by all odds the most conspicuous BAN
ner in Honolulu.
Everybody had heard of Sanford B.
Dole and his presence at the luncheon
excited the liveliest interest among the
strangers. He seems of senatorial
statute was the remark of one of the
visiting newspaper men.
When Alice Roosevelt came to town
she had her hat tied on with veil
that came under her chin. When she
had become very popular among. the
young ladies Of Honolulu.
Mr.. George H. Fairchild, manager Of
Kealia Plantation on Kauai delivered
an intensely interesting lecture on the
sugar industry in the Hawaiian Islands
in the music room of the Manchuria the
night before arrival in port.
On the Iroquois Mrs. Alapai sang
aloha Oe'' and other Hawaiian songs
to the accompaniment of the band.
Miss Roosevelt stood close to her dur
ing the singing and thanked her and
Captain Berger for the music.
During the day Lycurgus wireless ed:
Extend to the entire Taft party a
cordial invitation to visit the Volcano.
If they cannot come now, the invita-
ton is extended to such time as they
may be returning from the Philip

Yes, I get the Advertiser" said
Senator Newlands, "as do all the de-
partments and many of the Senators
and Representatives All matter of in
terest 10 the Government in its col
umns is regularly clipped and sent to
the White House."
Miss Alice Roosevelt made fine
impression. Modest and simple in her
manner, she pas ed through the lime
light as if she did not know it was
shining. There never seemed to be
moments consciousness on her part
that she was the Presidents daughter.
Everybody liked Alice.
The Rapid Transit furnished a train
of fine electric cars for the Taft party.
One OF the convertible cars has been
rebuilt and decorated and was used by
the Secretary and part of the party.
Five fine cars were furnished for the
run to the beach, each flying a silken
flag from its trolley pole.
Scores of the visitors thanked the
Advertiser for it's summary of the
weeks news. Several well-travelled
members said that the Advertiser was,
in their opinion, the best and largest
paper published in the insular possess
sions Of the United States. There was
a very large demand for copies.
