RAIN DID NOT SPOIL
THE SALE OF FLOWERS

In spite of the rain which prevailed
off and on all day yesterday in Ma
kiki the flower sale conducted by the
ladies of St. Clements Guild was as
successful as could be wished, innu-
merable plants, ported and slips, being
disposed of, while there was a most
satisfactory sale of cut flowers and
fancy work. It had been the intention
of the ladies having the affair in hand
to display their wares in the beautiful
grounds surrounding General Davis
residence on upper Hastings street, but
the heavy showers of the morning had
soaked the lawn, making it necessary
to crowd a great deal of the salabIe
material in the little bungalow in the
grounds
In one way this was not to be regret
ted, although the rooms were woefuily
crowded at times with the buyers, for
the great masses of cut blossoms
showed to splendid effect punched as
they were on one small table. while
the buyers were always close at hand

ROOSEVELT AND DIAZ
 THANKED FOR PEACE
Central American Ministers Express Their Sincere Appre-
 citation.

Washington, Aug. 29-The ministers representing all of the Central Amer ican republics excers Guatemala, called at the State Department today and ex- pressed tie appreciation of their gov- ernments for the steps taken by Pres idents Roosevelt and Diaz in negotiat- ing for permanent peace in Central America. All of them predicted that the movement would be entirely suc- cessful.
 No replies have so far been received at the State Department to the note tel egraphed to the P. Nsidents Npf the re- publics by President Roosevelt. When they come, the replies will be sent to the President personally and by him transmitted to the State Department. This fact may delay the receipt of the replies for several days President Roosevelts note, therefore, will not be made public here until 1t is possible to publish also the attitude of the Central American republics.
 Minister Corea, of Nicaragua, today said that he believed that all of the re- publics would consent to the holding of conference and that conference would be held at Washington. for the reason that the strained relations between Guatemala and Mexico make 1t inadvis- able to meet in Mexico City, and that Honduras has no diplomatic represent atiVe there.
