AN ENDLESS
PRAYER CHAIN

Editor Advertiser: VIII you favor
me by printing word in reference to
an absurd Endless Prayer Chain now
flooding Honolulu. as it has already IN
a most extraordinary way flooded the
entire United States.
The letter enclosed herewith purports
to have been set forth by Bishop Law
renee of Massachusetts. In the hrst
place. anyone who knows Bishop Law
renee knows that he would not set
forth any such prayer, and 1t seems
to me that people should know at once
on receiving such a letter that none OF
our Bishops would have anything 10
do with such a silly thing and certainly
would be incapable of calling down
curse on anyone who would break the
chain or writing the absurdities with
which the letter closes.
Bishop Lawrence has repeatedly. IN
the press. denied that he had anything
to do with this chain business but still
the chain goes on to the increase or
the postal revenue and the annoyance

pairs to the Manchuria, which l will

engineer. These repairs are not very
extensive and are being done by the
Honolulu Iron Works and Cation, NeilI

fcate of seaworthiness as soon as the
repairs are satisfactorily completed.
That will be in about fifteen days.
Orders were received last night by
the captain of the steamer Rosecrans
rion Chilcott to sail as soon as she was
ready under her own canvas and to
hold the steamer in readiness to go TO
Midway. This news was very salts
factory to Captain Metcalf, who rec
ognizes the value OIL the Rosecrans for
such work as the heavy pulling neces-
sary to float the Mongolia. Aboard the

ing hawser, their own wire hawser hav-
ing been loaned to the Restorer. This
hawser is said TO be the longest on the
Pacific, having length of 1900 feet
and being 21a inches in deameter.
The appearance of the japanese ship
at Midway was as unexpected as 1t was
welcome, and the fact that she is stand
ing by now and most probably has
line aboard may be the means of saving
the liner from being further damaged
by driving higher on the reef.

The Bar Association held a meeting

the Iroquois, the Restorer and the trans

ship Aragawa is already on the spot
and there is strong probability of the
Roseerans being also ordered to the
rescue, while the Mongolia herself is
there with a vengeance.
And all these ships will be needed,
the position of the Mongolia in the
opinion of Captain Metcalf being a
most serious one. Yesterday afternoon
he had received no further direct ad-
vices from Midway, although from ear

think that the japanese ship Aragawa

was pulling.

THE POSSIBLE RESULT.

IF KaIauokalani runs he viii draw
said well known Republican politi-
clan from the First of the Fourth. and
there is no doubt Brown will feel it,
but | doubt if there would be enough
Democrats and some of the white Re
publicanS will vote for Iaukea and there
will be some of the Hawaiians in line.
But Kalauokalani has a certain follow
between the reform Republicans and
the straight cutters may be so serious
that while they are squabbling the
Home Rule candidate may get through
possible that the Home Rulers will put
up a candidate and expect to win. In
my opinion the most they can do is to
decrease Browns vote without getting
enough to put their own man in. What
they should do is to endorse Iaukea and
the fusion would draw enough votes
from Brown to elect Iaukea. The idea
of running Poepoe would suit us be-
cause he is such an easy man to beat.
Between you and me we are going to
get the Home Rulers to put him up
and it will be worth paying his ex-
penses to ss@ve him help OUT

fact that the machine would be willing

FAVORS The
MAHUkA SITE
F. ]. Lowrey's Prefer
ence for Federal
Ground.

Former President Lowrey of the
Chamber of Commerce stated his pref
erence at the meeting of that body
yesterday afternoon Tor the Mahuka
premises, Waikiki of E. o. Hall & Sons
store as site for the proposed Federal
building.
This is practically the first indorse-
ment of any of the sites offered to the
Federal government since the opening
of the bids at Washington, and will re-
suit in an active canvass of the com
munity for a general expression of
preference for one or more of the five
sites offered.
The Chamber of Commerce meeting
was attended by President Giffard in
the chair, Secretary II. P. Wood, F. J..
Lowrey, w. A. Bowen, f. NJ. Swanzy,
Charles Atherton, J. F. Morgan, L.
Tenney Peck. w. III. Hoogs, George w.
Smith,
Following the reading of the minutes
any member wished to present. Mr..
Lowrey arose and called attention to
the fact that the expression of opinion
of the community was probably neces-
sary in the matter of the Federal build
ing site.
This is a matter in which we are
all interested said Mr.. Lowrey. II
would suggest that the trustees of the
Chamber take it up at their next meet
ing and discuss the propositions made
to the United States government and
make report to the Chamber of Com
merce as to what action, if any, should
be taken. We have all seen the reports
of certain offers made.
Personally, it seems to me that the
property across the street (pointing to
the Mahuka property between King and
Merchant streets) would be preferable,
for there is a prospect of continual
ton of Bishop street through from
King to Merchant.
II would suggest the trustees take it
up, and if there is any unanimity in the
matter it might be well for the business
men generally to follow it up
Mr.. Lowrey thereupon moved that the
trustees take up the matter and report
to tho Chamber of Commerce. The
motion prevailed.
