Saviour, though He was Lord of heaven
and earth, yet chose to ride upon an ass,
the meanest and most contemplate of
beasts, to correct our pride, and teach us
not to affect he grandeur and honors OF
this world, which are so vain and transl-
tory. Let us then practice humility,
that thereby initiating our divine
Saviour, we may the better dispose our
selves to celebrate the mysteries of holy
week, and partake of the glories OF our
Lords resurrection.

GOVERNOR CANNOT

Governor Frear yesterday received a
cablegram from Augustus Knudsen, one
of the commissioners from Hawaii to
the Alaska Yukon exposition at Seattle,
stating that the Governor must be pres
ent at Seattle on August "a. The cable
gram didn't say must, but stated
IN positive way that it was consid-
cred essential by the commissioners
that Governor Frear should be in Seat
tie on that day.
Governor Frear stated yesterday that
he would like to conform TO the re-
quest expressed by Commissioner Knud.

possible for him to do 50. He. stated
that his report to the Secretary of the
interior would require his close atten-
ton for some time and also that if he
went to Seattle he would not be in the
Territory when the Congressional dele
cation arrived here. For these reasons
he said it would be impossible for him
to go TO the exposition.

After months of conjecture, during
which many suggestions have been
made concerning the ultimate dis
position OF the three idle Oceanic
liners, the Sierra, Sonoma and Ventura,
says the San Francisco Chronicle OF
July "A, the perplexing question was
effectualiy cleared yesterday when it
was learned that John d. Spreekels had
declined a proposal to operate the
steamships between this city and PAN

proved his own nndoing and the dis

FRE:AR FAvORS
TRYING TIL:
RUSSIANS
Believes the Experiment
Could ProfitabIy
be Made.

Governor Frear is favorable to an
experiment with Russian immigration
for plantation labor and he believes that
there is a strong possibility that it
would turn out successfully, although he
says that the wisest course to pursue
will be to bring comparatively small
number of Russians to the Territory in
the beginning SO that in the event of
their failure to qualify as dependable
laborers the problem can be easily dis.
posed of.
In speaking of the proposal of Mr..
Perelstrous to bring number of his
countrymen to the Territory, Governor
Frear referred to the failure of the
Molokan experiment as an example of
the wisdom of beginning in small num-
beers at first.
The Governor intimated that. he did
not recognize the existence of any
obstacle that would prevent the bring
ing of Russians to the Territory in
large numbers in the eYeEt that they
proved able to meet the needs of plan-
tation labor. He apparently does sot
attach any importance to the report
shat there is a hostile public sentiment
to the bringing of Russian immigrants
: to Hawaii.
Perelstrous did not leave on his pro-
jeeted trip to Hawaii yesterda8 After
a conference with membeGs Of the
Board of immigration he Concluded to
postpone his journey for ne present.
Should his project meet VIII favor, he
will leave for Russia at nee and make

PLUMBERS MAY
be EXAMINED
Supervisors Meet and Discuss
Proposed Sanitary
Ordinance.

Plumbers, desiring to follow their
trade in Honolulu, may be forced to
pass an examination as to their quail
fcations before a regularly constituted
board of examiners. The proposition
was preached at public meeting of
the health committee of the Board of
Supervisors last night, and found pretty
general favor.
Last nights meeting was called for
the purpose of allowing the plumbers
of this city to express their opinions in
regard to the new plumbing ordinance
which is now before the Board. j. FL.
Craig and John Emmeluth sat at the
table with the Supervisors and took
part in the discussion.
The ordinance, in its present form,
requires that the Treasurer shall issue
license; on the payment of the req
uisite fee, to any man who has regis
tered with the Plumbing Inspector.
Craig objected to the provision in that
no rule is made for ascertaining the
fitness of the applicant. He thought
that some examination should be re-
quired.
Building Inspector Miehlstein said
that he considered Craig's point well
taken. He thought that the exan1in-
ing board should consist of one plumber,
one architect and the Building In
spector. The committee announced
that it would give the matter careful
consideration.
Considerable time was given up to
arguing whether or not the section re-
curing every man undertaking a
plumbing job to register with the
Plumbing Inspector should be allowed
to stand. Craig objected. but his argu-

and shortly after his arrival was a
caller upon Governor Frear at the Cap
ifol. He stated that his return to- Ha-
waii was delayed by a case at Reno,
Nevada, where he has been practising
law since his return from the Orient.
During the morning hours Mr.. An
drews visited number of friends in
the Government offices and received the
best wishes of all on his return to the
Attorney General Department. Mr..
Andrews stated that he was glad to be
back in Hawaii and that the Islands
exercised fascination on one that
grew stronger the longer the absence.
Although the Legislature made no
provision for a second deputy in the
Attorney General s Department, Mr..
Suttcl will continue his present duties
as second deputy, and his salary will
come from the $4,000 contingent fund
at the disposal of the Governor.

FUkUsfiIMrS PROSPERITY
PROVES HIS OWN U|NDOING

looking fors Mr.. Taft, the President
of the United States, didn't get his
salary last week because Sye were d
little short of money! But, now that
you're here, il just reminds me. You
used to be member of the Ten-Doliar

They brought Fukushimi and Negoro,
to, after vigorous application Of cold
water and smelling salts. But they are
still going around in trance and
wondering who threw that brick.
The hard headed government official,
meantime, has been putting IN his time

which means that he is going to get
out an execution against the property
of Eukushimi and try 30 take 1t away
