Honolulu, Hawaii, July IS, 1907.
A LTHOUGH four blasts
~ of the whistle were
~ given at $40 a. m
when the transport Blu
ford, bearing the American Con-
greSsional party was sighted, in or
der to give the reception committee
and city an opportunity to greet
the distinguished visitors, the Hon
oluluan turned in his clothful bed,
and when the party landed at J
O'Clock the wharf contained only
handful of enthusiasts;
These, however, were aug
mented by two companies of the
National Guard. Besides, Secretary
Atkinson, Senators ChillingwOrth,
Lane, and Woods, and Sheriff
Iaukea, members of the territorial
committee, had gone out in a
launch to meet the ship and board
her, presenting the welcome of the
islands. Other members of tine
committee with the Royal Hawaiian
Band went out later on the United
States steamship IroquOis, the band
playing as they dOcked.
Four pretty Hawaiian girls threw
Hawaiian Smilax and floral leiS
around their neckS, and they were
fairly bedight as they came down
the gangplank.
Had the transport arrived at 10
instead of at J O'Clock, the new
cOmerS would have been treated to
sight of the cosmopolitan pOpula-
ton of Honolulu that would have
made them open their eyes even
more than they did. However, the
native swimming boys were on
hand, ever ready to dive to catch
the chance coin.
A reception at the naval station
by Admiral Very, salute of seven
teen guns in their honor, and
specimen of Hawaii's own partcu-
lar variety of climate followed their
landing.

ready for every objection, and rebut-

every argument that may b. present
