Something About Trip
and Experiences on
Mainland.

Governor Frear wasted little time in
getting to work Immediately after his
arrival at the Executive, building yes
terday, where the robin's-egg-blu
chamber had been decked out with
Ieis and flowers in honor of his re-
turn. Throughout the morning he re-
ceived a large number of visitors, some
calling officially and many dropping in
TO welcome him home.
The heads of the various depart
ments were among the first visitors
received. each rendering an account of
his stewardship for the past few weeks
and putting the chief in touch again
with what was going on.
The Governor returns satisfied with
what he has been able to do for the
Territory in Washington. Much work
for the general advancement of the
country was done at the conference of
governors held at Washington, to at
tend which was the especial reason of /!
the Governors trip. At this confer |
specially with Hawaii. all matters |
touched on being of general import.
At Mohonk, at the conference deal |
ing with international Peace" Gov |
ernor Frear was called upon to make
one of the principal addresses, some |
reference to which was cabled by the |
Associated Press. THE only thing |
about that cable was that l did not |
say what the cable said 1 did" re-
marked the Governor.
At Boston the Governor had two |
other. opportunities of presenting the
advantages of Hawaii before the pub
lie. At a dinner arranged by Gorham |
d. Gilman, at which the Acting Gov
ernor of the State, the Mayor of Bos- !
ton, representatives of the press and |
others were present, the Governor |
made an address on the school sys- /
tenn of Hawaii, after which he an
swered numerous interested questions |
from many of those present.
The Governor called on the clerk Of {
the Supreme Court in Washington and |
inquired into the status of the various /
Hawaiian cases on the calendar He /
was told that they had not been taken
up because forced off the calendar for
the past term by stress of business.
They will have an early hearing at the
fall term, however.
PLANNING FOR GARFIELD.
For large part of the time yester-
day afternoon the Governor was IN
consultation with the committee of
five. who have made tentative plans
for the tour of the islands for Secre-
tary Garfield, who will arrive this af-
ternoon on board the battleship
Maine In regard to the plans of the
committee, all the Governor would say
yesterday was that they would have
to be submitted to Mr.. Garfield before
they were made public.
As to the reception to the Secretary
on his arrival, the Governor was 10
more specific. No program could be
announced until it was known. wheth-
er the two battleships would anchor
outside the harbor or come in TO the
dock, and as to what would first be
done, that also remained for the Sec
retary himself to announce.
