George milford Robinson, an expert,
brought here at large expense by the
Promotion Committee, whose report met
with the favor of large number of the
citizens, and also on the long list OF
names of prominent citizens who sign
ed the memorial in favor of the IRWIN
site. To attempt to show that the ex-
preston is unanimous in opposition to
the irwin site is not right.
LAS a supporter of the Irwin site, l
wish to compliment the committee on
the temperate language they have used
in their report in opposition to the
wording of the resolutions presented
here at our last meeting.'
Mr.. Lowrey called attention to the
practically used before the word

little opposition there might be, +" he
explained.
Mr.. Spalding made reference again
to the claim that the Young Hotel pa
vilion meeting had been made up prln-
eipallv of those interested in the sale
of the Mahuka lots. "The expressions
of opinion at that meeting were SO
clearly those of interested persons that

Resolved, That committee appoint
ed for this purpose proceed without de-
lay to obtain full expression of the
present views of this community on
this subject, and submit the result, to-
gether with any facts that have a bear
ing on this question, to the proper au-
thorities in Washington, in order that
they may be fully informed of the STU
alton and be in position to act ac-
cordingly.
"Your committee recommend also the
following action on the part of our AS
ISOLATION, as tending to bring out an
expression of opinion from the citizens
and taxpayers generally:
| EMOTION to be made that the Board
of Directors of the Merchants Assoc

postal card vote by the members to ex-
press their preference for or against
an exchange of sites for the govern
ment building, taking general postal
card vote by the citizens and taxpayers
of Honolulu upon the same question.

ington to consist Of
First. The synopsis or history OF
the acquisition of the Mahuka site,
with the map showing the respective To-
cations of the two sites under consider
alton.
"Second. Reasons why the United
States government would be better
served if the present site is retained.
Mention that judiciary and the United
States government officials were con
suited at the time.
! "Third. Reasons why this eommun-
ity prefers the present site together

proposed.
"Fourth. Mention moral obligation
of the United States government TO
keen faith with those who subscribed
to make the present site available This
was done on the specific understanding
that the building would be erected on
the site if the same was accepted. Most
t of the subscribers had no direct or
other interest than to benefit the com
munity at large.
"Fifth. Argument, that even if there
is only reasonable doubt as to the
wisdom of the exchange, and if the
alues in question are presumably III
: favor of the present site, that then the
:, present site should have the benefit OF
such doubt, and no change should be
made.

EMPLOYED. was adopted without OPPOSE
tion. as follows:
e.Your special committee appointed
to draft suitable resolutions bearing on
the Federal building site, after careful
consideration, beg to submit the fol
lowing:
1sWhereas, The Merchants Associa-
ton has been advised that the Treas
urv Department has under consideration
= nroposaI for an exchange of the site
for Federal building for Honolulu,
which the United States government
has recently acquired, and which is
called the Mahuka site; and,
seWhereas, In the judgment of the
Association such an exchange would be
detrimental to the best interest Of the
United States government, and con
trarv to the wishes of almost the en-
tire community of this city, who would,
with few exceptions, disapprove of sueh
a transaction: therefore, it IS
.sResolved, That the president Of this
Association is requested to cable to the
Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States, and to the Delegate and 0oV-
ernor of the Territory of Hawaii, ask
ing that no steps be taken in regard to
such a plan until this Association has

has presented the sentiments of this
community as they now exist, and has
submitted the reasons why such q
change should not be made.

No Ofense intended.

What little discussion of the report
there was, was devoted to mild crlti-
cism of the use of the words ''moral
obligation of the United States 1t
was decided, however, that there was
moral obligation involved, and that it
ought to be pointed out.
The most interesting point in the dis
cussion on the report was the remark
made by Mr.. Dohrmann that eff one
were not told what il was the Opera
House would be taken for barn.
Postal Gard Vote.
Mr.. Smith, calling Mr.. Waldron to
the chair, gave reasons for the proposed
postal card vote. The vote was intend
ed TO be taken from taxpayers, not nee
essarily even citizens of the United
States. but those who used the post
office. Supporting the argument for
caution in the whole matter he IN
stanced the movement some time ago
against free sugar from the Philippines,
which it was to be feared may have
produced some antagonistic feeling IN
the mind of him who is to be the
President of the United States.
Mr.. Macfarlane moved and Mr.. Buch-
" seconded the adoption of the recon-
mendation for a postal card vote,
Mr.. White suggested the issuance OF
voting card in japanese. SeYeEai
voices objected to the proposal. MI
Dohrmann suggested that japanese
translation might be placed on the Eng
Tsb card The matter was left to the
discretion of the committee.

THE TOPMASTS
SNAPPED OFF
Schooner Ka Moi Dismasted by
Terrific Gale on Sunday
Night.

Snarled rigging and broken and
twisted spars burdened the deck of the
island schooner Ka Moi when she was
lowed into port shortly before 6 O'Clock
last evening by the Pearl Harbor
launch. The wreckage was evidence of
the gale which struck the schooner on
Sunday night between Hawaii and
Maui while she was en- route from Hllo
to Honolulu.
The Ka Moi presented strange ap-
pearance as she swung up the channel.
Her maintopmast was gone and the
foremost with the topmast gone, stood
up solitary piece of timber without
rigging or sail attached. Tackle and
SINE rigging made fast to the stumped

His father was Presbyterian min

Two years gave him enough Of
teaching. He was ambitious to be-
come lawyer and to work In field
that offered more advantages than
could be found In the east The city
of his choice was Cleveland, Ohio. ALI
Of his spare earnings having been sent
to his mother, he required borrowed
capital to get his start in the world.
The amount Of this capital was $50
and the friend who gave II to him was
an old man who had been a deacon
In his fathers church. The lenders
security was note signed by the boy.
That 1t was sufficient was proved two
years later when he received q remit

In 1859 Cleveland was admitted TO

of the law firm as managing clerk, in
view of which dignity and honor his
stipend was increased to 30 week.
On January 1, 1868, he was appoint
ed assistant district attorney of Erie
county. He allowed himself the bare
necessities of life. Every surplus dol
lar was sent to his mother and sisters.
AT this time he was drafted fer serv-
Ice In the union army. He borrowed
money and sent substitute to the
war. Much was made of this fact
In the political campaigns of later
days. Friends Of Cleveland replied
that his action was In accordance with

Entrance into Politics.
In 1865 Cleveland was nominated for
district attorney. He began the prac-

keen interest in politics. In 1856 he
was chairman of the county commit

but was favored by strong follow

leadership. In 1870 he was elected

LOCAL TALENT
IN FINE CONCERT
St. Matthew's Church Presents Brilliant Array
of Soloists and Genuine Artists.

One of the most representative
audiences that has ever graced the
Opera House gathered there on
Monday evening at the concert given
by the ladies of st. Matthew S
Episcopal Church. It was also one of
the largest gatherings of the season,
standing room being at premium.
Needless to say a neat sum was
realized by the ladies for the further
ance of church work. Many went to
the Opera House expecting to listen
to concert of no more than ordinary
excellence, but they were doomed to
a happy disappointment. The Opera
House orchestra and all the singers
were at their best and gave a pro-
gram that would have been applauded
by the critics of the larger cities.
The artists assisting were Mrs. Leo
T. Cushing and the Misses Irene
Burns, Marion Hays, Jessie Hollecker,
Irene Jordan, and Mary Osborne and
Mrs. Mercy Miller Coates.
The program commenced shortly
after .. M, the orchestra giving the
opening overture with its usual dash
and precision. Then followed q varied
program as given below. The soloists
were all in excellent voice and the
applause given to every number
certainly showed just appreciation
of their magnificent efforts. Mrs.
Coates, in recitations, was also at

Station, and one of the best dry land
authorities in the country, will be
present and address both meetings.
Prof. Linfield's S extended observation
and experience in Montana, Utah and
other western states qualities him TO
discuss the topics in an authoritative
manner.
J. B. Nelson of the Montana Ex-
pertinent Station and H. o. Buckman,
graduate of Ames, who is doing
some work in conr ection with the
Adams Investigations in Montana,
will also be in the party. These
gentlemen will both handle timely
subjects.
This is a most favorable time to
see the practical effect of the scientific
handling of soils upon the crops, as
the crops will be well along in growth,
and it is believed that all farmers
interested in crop production will find
attendance on these meetings to their
interest and profit. Make it point
to be there.

her very best and fairly brought down
the house. Miss Hays, at the piano,
showed wonderful technic and played
all accompaniments most acceptably.
The Misses Burns, Hollecker and
Jordan gave their splendid renditions
with power that promises much for
the future, considering the age of
the singers.
All the artists responded to encores.
Miss Burns, on recall gave "a Birth
day Song by Robert Clark and
'sSpring Song" by Mckenzie. Miss
Hollecker as additional numbers gave
Hearts Fancies'' by A. Goring
Thomas and Dainty Dorothea" by
Ethelbert Nevens Miss Jordan re-
sponded with "Just Awearyin' for
You" by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. Mrs.
Coates responded with ''Sue's Beau"
and ''The Ship of Faith. Miss Hays
gave ''Little Trum Peter" and cold
Black Joe'' with variations on the
piano. Mrs. Cushing delighted the
audience with cit was a Dream
by Hawley for an encore. The quar-
tette responded with "Fidelin, an
Italian Barcarole.
The general direction of the co cert
was under Mrs. Leo T. Cushing and
she deserves unlimited credit for the
manner in which it was carried to
such a magnificent success. Such
affairs are certainly an incentive to
the general culture of the city.
