ing, the others present being Governor
Frear, Secretary Mott-Smith, Senators
Smith and Chillingworth and Repre-.
sentative Shingle, G. w. Smith, E. ].
Spalding, r. o. Matheson, and j. A.
Kennedy.
Secretary Mott-Smith reported that
he had not yet heard from Nawahine
and Kalama of Maui who, it appeared,
were both away from home. Letters,
however, had been received from Rep
resentative Huddy of Kauai and
Speaker Holstein of Hawaii, outlining
the plans of the committees from those
| islands for the entertainment of the
| Congressman.
Kauai expressed the wish that the
| Mauna Kea should leave Honolulu on
| Sunday night after the arrival of the
party. The County of Kauai will act
as host. The plan submitted is for the
| steamer to reach Mawiliwili at day
break and land as many as care to go
| ashore. These will be taken in auto
mobiles to Hanalei reaching there in
| two hours, and breakfast will be serv-
| ed at Hanalei, the steamer to reach
| there about the same time as the land
party. There was long discussion as
to the feasibility of this plan, but it
was finally adopted on the statement
being made that the Kauai people are
| very much in earnest in their wish to
have it adopted. The Congressman will
spend Monday on the island being
shown all that the time will allow, and
will return to Honolulu Tuesday morn
ing. The same day they will leave for
| Hawaii. The plans for that island caus-
ed long discussion, and were changed
several times Mr.. Shingle, toward the
end of the meeting, expressed Ithe opin-
ion that some way ought to be found
of letting the party visit Kona, as he
thought they would be more interested
in that section than in other parts of
the Territory. 1t seemed almost impos-
sible to arrange this, but in the end it
was suggested that the Mauna Kea
might go directly from Makena bay TO
Kealakekua bay, lard the party there
and let them 60 overland to Kailua
Meantime, those who desire to go
through Kohala and Hamakua will be
landed at Mahukona and taken in auto
mobiles overland to Hilo. The steamer
will pick up the party at Hilo, whence
they will be taken to the volcano. The
Kohala Hamakua party will probably
get into Hilo Thursday night and will,
if possible, be taken directly up to the
volcano. An opportunity will be given
everybody to take in the breakwater
and as much of the surrounding coun-
try as possible.
A letter from Mr.. Holstein was read
in which the Speaker stated that Ha-
waii wanted 5000 out of the entertain.
ment fund for Kohala and $4,000 fol-
the rest of the island. The general
opinion was that this was too much and
resolution was finally adopted to APP
propriate $500 for the Big Island.
Mr.. Holstein suggested that it would
be an act of mercy to the Congress
men who intend to take the Kohala
Hamakua trip to tell them to leave
, their boiled shirts and frock coats or
the steamer for use in Hilo. He a'sc
said he had settled on c. r. Buckland
as the best man for the Hilo commit
tee, as he appeared to be the only one
not mixed up in the intrigues and quar-
rels of that town. He has newspaper
and can roast people himself if he is
not satisfied, the NSpeaker suggested.
AS finally agreed, the party will
leave Hilo on the Mauna Kea Saturday
night and go to Hama, where those who
wish will land and ride along the Koolal
, ditch trail to Makawao The Others
I will stay on the steamer and 60 on tt
Kahului. The entire party will be en-
tertained at Puunene and Makawao
t and some of them will go up Haleakala
2 Some other plans were suggested, blu
. were discarded as not feasible or ad
visable.
The party will get back from Mau
I on Tuesday morning, and the festivi
ri ties on this island will be resumed. MI
