TITUS COAN WILL co

York City, in accepting the invitation
to attend the Mohonk Conference as a
delegate from Hawaii writes to Sec
rotary Wood of the Chamber of Com
merce, as follows:
'tYours of June %, requesting me to
serve as a delegate from the Cham
Der of Commerce to the Lake Mohonk
Conference of October next, is re-
ceived. L am deeply sensible of the
compliment paid me, yet l have hesita-
ted before saying yes, for Hawaiian
citizen and a man more versed than
myself in business and politics, would
serve you better. But if a lifelong
interest in the affairs of Hawaii and
an undying affection for my native

give me pleasure to attend the con-
ference and do what / can.
Your president and board are
doubtless aware that some effort is
beng made to have the 1910 meeting
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science held in Homo

tremely desirable one, and the Cham
Der of Commerce, | take It for grant

Several of the Ministers of State Take

RevOIutiOnists Appoint DR.. EmilisnO
NaveirO President-He Was the
Former Vice President.

Buenos Ayres (By Cable) .-Ad-
vices received here state that the
revolutionists have been victorious in
Paraguay and that a new government
has been established. These advices
have been confirmed by a dispatch
received by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs from the Argentine Legation
at Asuncion officially notifying the
Minister that the revolutionary party
had succeeded in overthrowing the
Paraguayan government and that
several of the Paraguayan ministers
of state had taken refuge in the le-
cation.
The revolutiOnists have appointed
as president DR.. Emiliano Gonzales
Naveiro. He held the Office of vice
president in the government which
has just been ousted.
Unofficial dispatches state that the
new cabinet includes Manuel Gondra,
the Paraguayan minister to Brazil;
DR.. EusebiO Ayala, Dr. Alviro Jara,
DR.. Adolfo Rigulme and DR.. Manuel
Franco. These represent a combina-
ton of the two most powerful parties
in Paraguay-the Liberal and Colo
rado-and it is believed that their
appointment VIII assure early peace
to the country.
The members of the former gov
eminent. who included Manuel Ben
itz, minister of interior; Cecilio Baez,
foreign affairs; General Rios, war;
Adolfo Soler, finance, and Carlos Isa-
81, minister of Justice, it is under
stood, have taken refuge in the for
eign legations.
Fighting has been proceeding in
the streets of Asuncion for some days
past and many of the public build
ings have been seriously damaged.
Previous estimates of the killed and
wounded, however, have been exag-
gerated, and it is now believed that
the number will not exceed 500. It
is expected that telegraphic commun-
ication with Asuncion will be restor-
ed tomorrow.

competition, both here and else
where, with a slump in prices, may
