FISKE O'HARA COMES %,,&
OF FIGHTING STOCK
The Irish Tenor's Forbears Have Played
a Lively Part in England's History.

Fiske O'Hara, the clever Irish tenor
in "Mr. Blarney from Ireland" at the
Bijou, IS one Of the few actors on the
stage today who can point to their
family name and say that wherever the
English flag waves, there some O 'Hara
has done some famous deed. But such
Is the case. Mr.. O 'Hara's mother is a
O'Haras Of Limerick, Ireland. They
have been known as soldiers Of fortune
ever since William the Conqueror 8
time. During the Crimean war there
were 400 o 'Haras in the English army,
forty Of whom were in the famous
charge Of the Light. Brigade. At the
sepoy Oh r eS He9S captain Mchas
O'Hara, who had been in India for
years and spoke the language like a ma
tive, volunteered to get thru the rebel
lines and try to hasten the relief col
umn of Sir Colin Campbell. His head
was tossed over the trenches by Mana
Sahib, the Sepoy leader, as reminder
of the fate in store for the rest of the
lieutenant Patrick O'Hara with a
handful Of English dragons stood the
Beers off for two days on small kopie
and only surrendered when their am
munition had given out and every man
was either killed or badly wounded. The
duke Of wellington, England's most ia
nous general, was a distant relative Of
the O'Hara family.
During the late Queen Victoria g iu-
bilee bronze tablet was unveiled in
Westminster abbey, with the names and
deeds of valor that the O'Haras had
performed, and the tablet shows that
twenty Of them had received the Vic
toria cross, the most coveted medal for
bravery in the English army.
Mr.. O'Hara says he thinks he is the
only one who ever took up the stage
as profession, but altho an actor. he
still lives up to the name as he is
somewhat Of an athlete himself and has
the reputation of being clever boxer.

ORCHESTRA OUTLOOK PROMISING
Increased Guarantee Fund Means Much
to Musical Minneapolis.

The outlay by the public spirited
citizens of Minneapolis Of $4,000 for
the maintenance Of the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra and Philharmonic
club implies faith in these organiza-
lions and pride in this northwestern
metropolis that are natural ingredients
in the spirit that has placed Mime
commercially, and is fast giving it the
same place in the softer supremacies
Of civic development.
This is to be the year of .lttgreater
Symphonic orchestra" and a "greater
Philharmonic club;' not in numbers
alone, tho these will be materially in
creased, but in quality and achieve
ment. As has been stated, the guar
anyt fund has been more than doubled;
raised from $4,000 to 5000, and the
whole sum to be devoted to making the
coming musical season rebound to the
pleasure and artistic advancement Of
the city, among the; few, cities Of the
country that support orchestras at all,
will be $35, 900. -
The committees announcement as
sures Minneapolis Of as fine series of
orchestral and choral concerts as will
be given anywhere in the United States
this winter outside Of New York, Bos-

achievement for as young a. city as
Minneapolis and far from the natural
art centers of the country.

The increase Of the guaranty fund
removes from the committee of man
agement and from Mr.. Oberhoffer, it's
director, the shackles of limitation
that have bound them heretofore in re-
gard to securing trained and artistic
musicians necessary to perfect ensem-

to the orchestra by the guarantors, has

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR NEW CITY.

Chronicle: Enthusiasm was the key
note of the meeting between the Su-
pervisors and architects yesterday at
ternoon to consider plans for rebuilding
the city The hall over general head
quarters was crowded to the doors, and
the general opinion was that the time
was ripe for widening streets, laying
out new thoroughfares and creating
parks before rebuilding the city. Re
marks favoring these ideas and the con-
struction OF better buildings brought
frequent applause. The temper Of the
ncoDle of San Francisco was clearly IN
dicated by the addresses by the numer-
Gus persons, including business and pro-
fessional men.

MISSION OF
H.. P. WOOD

II +. Wood, secretary OF the Ha-
wailan Promotion Committee and rep
resentng party of capitalists OF Ho-
nolulu, is on his way to this city.
where he Will meet the business men
OF Los Angeles, San Pedro and other
Southern California cities with view
to interesting them I'm the proposed
establishment OF a direct line OF steam
ships between san Pedro and Homo
lulu.
Comparatively small capital. accord
ing to the data compiled by the Ha-
waiian committee, will be necessary,
and those to whom the project has
been mentioned are sanguine of its
early contamination.
News OF the interest wealthy citi-
zens of the Hawaiian Islands have
taken in the proposed enterprise is
published by the Homecoming of the
outing party of the Southern Califor-
MIA Editorial Association, which has
just returned from a five weeks trip
to the Paradise of the Pacific"
The Southern California editors heard
nothing but steamship talk by enthu-
siastic citizens during the greater
part of their stay in Honolulu. The
Hawaiian Promotion Committee is
J particularly eager that Los Angeles
grasp the commercial opportunity.
A committee of the returned editors
called upon Assistant Secretary Cur
ley OF the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday and informed him that Mr.
Wood is now on his way to Los An
geles to advance the interests of the
scheme.
Mr. Wood will arrive in Los Angeles
in about a week.
1t is his belief that local line of
steamships between San Pedro and
Honolulu would pay from the very
start, If conducted SO as to cater to
high-class tourist traffic, with second
airy attention given to high-class
freight. or the 100000 tourists that
annually come to Southern California.
1t is argued that a large percentage
could be induced to visit the Hawai-
ian Islands via San Pedro. AS to the
freight possibilities. Mr.. Wood can
produce statistics to show that Homo
lulu alone spends on the Pacific coast
for supplies not less than 81, 000, 900 per
month. The greater portion of this
vast trade now goes to San Francisco,
the balance to Seattle and Portland.
With a line to San Pedro. it Is be-
lieved the bulk of this traffic would
go through Los Angeles instead Of San
Francisco.
The present steamship lines out of
San Francisco and the northern coast
pay little attention to the Hawaiian
Islands and their interests. These
lines seek the Oriental traffic and con-
sequently want the long haul, and
will not take Honolulu traffic unless
nothing else presents itself. What THE
Hawaiian people want is a strictly
local line.-Los Angeles Examiner.

CAPTAIN HANABUSA on
MONGOLIA INCIDENT

The official cablegrams of Consul
General Saito and Captain Hanabusa,
commander of the Japanese training
ship Anegawa Maru, relative to the
Mongolia incident at Midway, appear
in the Japan Times of October 6 as
follows:
With regard to the report of an
American Admiral at Midway, charg-
| ing the Anegawa Maru with carrying
out surveys at Midway, and to a re-
port published in a Hawaiian newspa-
per to the effect that the Anegawa
Maru has rendered no assistance
whatever to the Mongolia the follow
ing kilograms have been received, to
prove the groundlessness of the above
accusations:
Telegram from Mr. Saito, Consul
General in Hawaii, received by the For
eign Office, on the 3rd inst:
In spite Of the fact that the Ane-
gawa Maru has rendered efficient as
sistance to the Mongolia stranded at
Midway, Honolulu paper published q
statement that the former has rem
dered no assistance to the latter.
Afterwards, however, the inaccuracy
or the statement was made known to
the public through an explanation sup
piled by Captain Hanabusa of the Ane-
gawa Maru and through the voluntary
statement made by the captain of the
Mongolia. With regard to the alleged
surveys, no objections are now made,
as there is nothing to be wondered
at in the fact of ship sounding the
sea before approaching an unknown
region full of reefs.
Report from the captain of the Ane-
gawa Maru, received by the Depart
ment of the Navy on the 3rd inst:
The Anegawa Maru carried out no
surveys. excepting the necessary
soundings made for the purpose of APP
preaching the Mongolia in order to
take her by a tow rope. The ship
having at first anchored near sub
marine cable, was requested by the
Telegraph Office on land TO change her
anchorage, and at once complied with
the request. Except this, we have
conducted no negotiations with the au-
thorities on land. An anti-Japanese
paper in Hawaii endeavored to propa-
gate the rumor that our ship has rem
dered no assistance to the Mongolia.
The Advertiser however published my
statement relative to the AFFAIR, and
Captain Metcalf who was on board
the Mongolia, published his views that
no vessel, arriving at Midway at the
time, would have been able to render
better assistance to the Mongolia than
that rendered by the Anegawa Maru,
and that the latter has done all she
could to rescue the stranded steamer.
The public in Hawaii thus came to
understand the groundlessness of the
accusations brought against us by the
anti-Japanese papers here.

The address given last evening by
Mayor william Waterhouse before the
members of the Baraca and Philathea
classes of the Lake Avenue Congrega-
tional church was n notable one for Its
vivid descriptions and bright stories.
Starting with his audience from Pas
adena, he followed In interesting detail
the entire route of his recent journey
10 Honolulu, giving fascinating de-
scriptions of the ocean voyage and the
first sight of land. The extreme beauty
of the Hawaiian Islands was clearly
shown, the tropical foliage and inter-
esting fern growth being especially no
ticed. An imaginary trip on the is
lands followed, the line of travel of
she ordinary tourist being traced with
the visit to the old crater of Kilauea,
the steamer ride by Molokai, the leper
island, and the beautiful beaches which
edge most of the islands The genial
mayors description of native feast
was especially interesting. All the

Hawaiian language, Mr.. Waterhouse
spoke for several moments In the |
strangely musical tongue. Had he not |
had a cold, he would have sung in the
repertoire of native songs. At the
Warehouse home both the mayor and |
his wife speak Hawaiian readily and |
the children have quite knowledge OF
many common words. Throughout his
address Mayor Warehouse told many
bright and humorous stories, and his
talk was greatly enjoyed by all pres
