and w. A. Bowen.
Secretary wood read the lengthy
minutes of previous meetings They
were approved. The reports of the
secretary ana treasurer were called
for Wood rushed the reading of
financial statistics, which were ram
iliar to an. He reported orally in
regard to sending out certain communi-
cations.
A report had gone forward to the
Delegate to Congress and so to the
committee ON rivers and harbor, of
Congress, relative to Honolulu har-
Dor needs a reply had been sent to
the lighthouse authorities, stating what
was necessary.
A letter was received from Washing
ton, replying to the Chambers urging
| that Captain Slattery be not taken
from Honolulu, to the effect that the
change or transfer was inevitable and
that the work of Improvement here, in
! the engineering department would GO
| on as usual, with the best interests of
| Hawaii i'm view.
A communication from Give Davies
! referring to the Hno breakwater was
moved to be sent to the Hilo Chamber
| The Chamber of Honolulu had already
! endorsed what the Hilo Chamber hat
done.
The trustees listened to a letter from
the Yukon-Alaska Exposition peopl,
asking for the Honolulu Chamber
support. The exposition is to be hel,
at Seattle next year.
j. r Gait, f. M. Swanzy and L
Tcnney Peck entered at this juncture
The Yukon Alaska show was we
spoken of by Promotion Wood and tn

, and agriculture.
The trustees were in receipt of a re
, quest from the great commercial cor

Il had been understood that the Cham

81 500 could be raised. Was the cham
bcr To pay out the $1,000 whether or
not the balance of the needed sum
was raised or not by popular subscrip-
ton or otherwise?
SHADING did not believe i'm paying
for the militia. The militia might be
needed an right but the Chamber
should not have to pay. Already was the
chamber paying out lot of money for
various things, McClellan's salary, the
SAN Francisco relief fund, etc
Gait understood that it had been the
dcsiro Of many large contributors to
tho SINNERS wharf fund that por-
tiop of the fund be devoted to the sup
mort of the national guard i'm view of
certain strikes and disturbances ON
plantations. If there was any posi-
bilitv of such things being repeated 1t
| was well to think seriously before cut

the support Of the militia.
Peck thought the question a serious
one To cut out the militia would
not look well for Hawaii's patriotism
If thcrc were labor troubles or riots
and the Federal troops stepped i'm the
affair at once might become mterna-

been very severely criticized in Anne

Certainly the Legislature had failed Il

Spaldug moved that the chambe
