THE BAND.

THE BAND.
Moore spoke of the band. He said
that at present it cost the county $3.50
per month. He said that it was a
splendid advertising proposition and
thought the suggestion to send the
band to the States for four months
was a good one. He said that the abb
sence of the band would save the coun-
ty $1,000 and be thought that it would
be a good thing TO utilize half this
amount in uniforming the band prop
erly and bringing it up to a strength
of AZ pieces. If they played in Madi-
son Square Garden the papers would
give columns of free advertising that
would cost the Promotion Committee
thousands of dollars if they had to
pay for it.
Lucas suggested that the sentiment
Of the public be ascertained in the
matter.
The proposition went over in order
that Professor Berger might have a
chance to express his ideas on the sub
ject

AUSTRALIAN
ORATOR HERE.
Hon. Daniel O'Connor
Passes BY on the
SOnOma.

Hon. Daniel O'Connor, Australia
famous Irish orator and politician, who
has held office for thirty-five years in
New South Wales and was three times
a Minister of the Crown, is through
passenger on the S. S. Sonoma en-
route to the United States. The Irish
patriot is a man of patriarchal APP
pearance, with snow-white hair and
beard. and in some respects he looks
like Dowie, the new Elijah.
Mr.. O'Connor has in his trunk the
manuscript of a book he has written
comprising his views on fifty years of
Australian history, which he will pub
lish in the United States. According
TO Mr.. O'Connor the book will be a val
liable acquisition to literature, in that
it deals with the affairs of state as
he has known them by personal know
edge for thirty-ffve years, politics,
commercial development, art, music
and the stage.

O'Connor, smiling. $50 you see / have
had an opportunity or knowing almost
every branch of business and amuse-
lnent in Australia.
But I know this: Australia is as
little known among some nations as if
she was a continent of savages. Ger
many, France and Japan know Aus
tralia we'll and have made use of their
knowledge to advance their CONNER
cial interests. England sleeps while |
these nations go in and get trade.
The United States has not awakened |
to the fact that in Australia is a fine |
opportunity for investment. There are |
Americans down there in business, but |
they are not the broad men who adj |
vance their nations commercial well |

Mr.. O'Connor will give a series of lee !

s his first trip to the mainland and |
ne was therefore very DESTROYS of get
ing into Honolulu by daylight to see
What the first American outpost city

pointed at arriving here in the night.
Mr.. O'Connor is proud of the fact
hat he has been returned to the leg

slant constituency, although he is a
;taunch Irish Catholic.

MORE POLICE.

Sheriff Brown recommended thxrSthe
foot police of Honolulu he increased
by two additional men in each of the
three watches, at salary of $40 each
per month.
The Sheriff felt that with the in
creasing number of undesirabIes COM
ing to town and the large number of
Porto Ricans and colored crooks now
being released from JAIL certain quar-
ters of the town should be more thor
oughly controlled than is possible with
the present force
Fe desired the police force to be OF
sufficient strength to cope with any
plantation disturbances which may oc-
cur on this island. Such emergencies
as the Waipahu strike were he believ-
ed. going to increase rather than less

with them without being compelled to
call out a posse comitatus. or the

BAILEY ANSWERS ATTACKS.
Texas Senator Denies All Charges and
says They We're Inspired,

shFA
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 25.-United States
Senator J. W. Bailey tonight gave out a
statement to the Democrats Of, Texas in
reply to the attacks made on him, based on
alleged disclosures made by H.. Clay Pierce,
the oil man, in his testimony in st. Louis.
MIR. Bailey, in his vigorous style, denies
the charges Of ~wrongdoing and declares
that the fight being made IN him now in
Texas is inspired by the same opposition
leaders who have been assailing him peri
odically for years. He says there is not an
issue raised by them now that has not been
disposed of by him when first made.
Mr.. Bailey declares that in his professional
services in connection with the Tennessee
Central Railroad and allied properties he
did not hold a personal power Of at
torney from H. Clay Pierce, and that he
did not carry around, as if they were his
own, Sl3, 600 900 worth Of H. Clay Pierce's
securities. He says that his employment
was without power of attorney from Pierce
and SIMPLY with the ordinary authority
of a lawyer representing all the stockhold-
ers. OF which the city OF Nashville was a
large one.
As to the old charges Of Bailey knowing
that the Standard Oil Company controlled
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, Mr.. Bailey
incorporates a personal letter received last
Saturday nightat Gainesville, Tex, from II.
Clay Pierce, in which Pierce admits that he
told Bailey at the time Of the readmission Of
his company to d business in Texas that the
Waters-Pierce company was an absolutely
independent concern. in no wise allied with
or controlled by the Standard Oil Company
