SOYA AND ASO
ARRIVE IN PORT
Japanese Greet Countrymen---
Officers Glad to Reach
Hawaii.

The two japanese cruisers Soya and
Aso dropped anchor off the harbor
shortly after 8 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, and Captain Moses and Consul
General Uyeno went out in the naval
launch to greet Admiral Ijiehi and his
men and bid them welcome once more
to Honolulu
The two cruisers were piloted into
the harbor and had warped along op-
posite sides of the naval slip before
10 o'clock. 1t seemed as though all
the japanese in town who could get
away were there to see the two reno
waited Russians come up to the wharf
and the crowd around the gateway to
the wharf reached nearly across to the
naval station grounds, so that the mo-
tormen on the Alakea street line had
to work their gongs vigorously before
the ear could make its way through
the crowd.
Shortly after the cruisers were dock
ed, Captain Rees and Commander
Moses with Consul General Uyeno made
an official call ON Admiral Iiichi on
board the Soya. Later the Admiral with
Captain Sato and Captain Ishi of the
Soya and Aso. respectively, and Flag
Lieutenant Shimomura called on the
Governor.
The Governor repaid the official call
at o'clock in the afternoon and was
saluted with the regulation seventeen
guns. Admiral Ijiehi has changed his
flagship. When he was here before the
Aso acted in that capacity, but the
Admiral changed over to the Soya just
before entering Honolulu harbor.
Activity on Board.
Both cruisers were scenes of great
activity all day yesterday. Supplies
were being taken aboard and arrange
ments being made for the Admiral to
take up quarters on the new flagship.
Today and tomorrow both ships will be
coaling so that the public will not be
made welcome until Sunday.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE tide
has turned again in favor of the con-
frmation of George W. Woodruff as
additional Federal Judge Of Hawaii A
very friendly cabegram in Woodruff g
favor oy Governor Frear has much to
do with this, as has been cabled to The
Advertiser today. But it was supple
mented by quite as strong a recon-
mendation to the same end from the
Executive Committee of the Civic Fed
Grafton.
Governor Frear IS cablegram was sent
to the President under date of June 5,
and read as follows: t'Hope Wood
ruff s nomination will not be with
drawn. 1t was well received here and
his confirmation will have good eff
feet -
Both cablegrams were referred by
Committee. If Woodruff is confirmed.
as now seems not improbable and, per-
haps, before this letter reaches Homo
lulu, it will be due in large measure to
those two communications. AS my
previous letters have indicated the
Judiciary subcommittee, of which Sen
ator Dillingham; is chairman, has been
disposed to let the matter drift, indi-
eating that, because of the opposition
in Hawaii and Mr.. Woodruff s lack of
experience as a lawyer, the nomina-
ton would be disposed of unfavorably

CANNOT RETURN
To kALAUPAPA
Applications From Discharged
Persons Turned Down
by Board.

considerable amount of routine
work was accomplished by the Terri
torial Board of Health at its meeting
held yesterday afternoon The bids
for supplies for the next six month
period were considered, in several
cases the final action being left to the
discretion of President Mott-Smith.
Action was taken on six applications
that were presented to the Board of
Health by persons who were allowed
to leave the Kalihi Receiving Station
after the recent examination by Drs.
o Day. Mcdonald and Brinckerhoff,
asking that they be allowed to return
to Molokai on the ground that their
wives were at the Settlement whom
thew wished to be with in the capacity
of kokuas
All but one of the applications were
denied on the recommendation of Su-
perintendent McVeigh, the exception
being in the case of John Kaapuni, who
was given a good character by Super
intendent McVeigh, who also declared
that Kaapuni S claim of having a wife
at the Settlement was well founded.
President Mott Smith brought before
the Board an application of ten other
persons at the Settlement, asking that
they be reexamined. 1t was finally de-
cided that the applications would not
be acted on until the fourteen examin-
ations authorized by resolution
adopted by the last Legislature are
held. The fourteen persons viii be re-
turned to the Kalihi Receiving Sta
tion, but it is probable that the future
examinations will be held at Molokai,
the new law leaving the place of ex-
animation a discretionary matter in the
hands of the Board of Health.
Lease Is Renewed
Announcement was also made BY
President Mott-Smith of the successful
conclusion of the negotiations between
himself and Mr.. Samuel Damon, in con.
nection with the renewal of the lease
IN the site of the Kalihi Receiving
Station. He stated that the Board of
Health and the Territory could find
reason for congratulation in the fact
that the lease had been renewed for a
period of thirty years, covering an
area of thirteen acres at an annual
rental of $50 per acre.
Only two bids were received for the
supply of beef cattle to the Settlement

Restaurants Cannot Sell
and Hotels May Be
Stopped.

Every restaurant in Honolulu which
had them has lost the privilege of dis
pensing intoxieants after the closing
hours of the saloons and on Sundays
On Monday the question as to whether
any of the licensed hotels are to be
allowed special privileges to sell after
hours and on Sunday will be discussed.
There are those among the Commission
ers who feel that if the hotels are to
be allowed special privileges, some of
the restaurants should also be allowed
them, and it is possible that the whole
sale refusal of these privileges to the
restaurants will be amended somewhat.
There are others among the Commits
sioners who, approaching the fact that
yesterday s action may be regarded as
unfair to the restaurants, are in favor
of equalizing things by shutting every
place up on Sundays and after saloon
hours, restaurants and hotels alike.
The restaurants whose applications
for Sunday privileges were denied yes
terday are: Union Grill, Royal Cafe,
Mrs. Klemme s and Sunouchi IS.
Hotels whose Sunday privileges will
be discussed on Monday are: Alexan-
der Young hotel, Seaside, Moana and
the Waikiki Inn, although no applica-
tions for renewals from the Young and
Moana are formally before the board.
The question of wet or dry on Sun
days in Honolulu has come to an issue.
The board was in session yesterday
afternoon from two o clock until half
past five and in the evening from half
past seven until nine. The greater part
of the session was executive and the
main debate ragged about the Sunday
privileges The motion to deny all such
to restaurant applicants carried on
vote of four to one, Carlos Long being
the minority At the open session,
which lasted for an hour and a half,
Attorneys Peters and Edings addressed
the board on the matter, both protest
ing against the action already determin-
ed upon and announced. Mr.. Peters
stated that the board was trying to

CABLES FROM FREAR AND
CIVIC FEDS. LAND WOODRUFF
Delegate Backing New Applicant for Post
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. May
Come Here.

Now with these cablegrams confront
ing them, especially that of Governor
Frear, the Senators feel that if the
people of Hawaii want Mr.. Woodruff
for judge and will be satisfied with his
confirmation there is little reason why
they should bother their heads about
it further.
Postmaster General Hitchcock prob
ably will not name postmaster at Ho-
nolulu for nearly month vet. As
cabled to the Advertiser, another ap-
plicant is in the field. He is said to
be backed by Delegate Kalanianaole
or at least favored by him in the event
that Postmaster Pratt can not be re-
nominated. Postmaster Pratt IS friends
are active and apparently his case is
not hopeless yet by any means. 1t is
claimed that Postmaster General Hitch
cock is inclined to favor Mr.. Pratt and,
at least, will not select any other for
the postmastership till there has been
a careful inquiry into the reports of
the inspectors.
Vice President Sherman has been in
vited to head the Congressional party
to Hawaii He is very anxious to ac-
cept the invitation and will do so, he
says, if he can arrange the affairs of
his Trust Company in Utica so as to
permit of his absence for a couple of
months.
There is nothing new in the tariff
situation, as specially pertaining to Ha-
waii. Some dickering over the pine
apple duties is still in progress, but
there has been nothing definite by way
of conclusions

COMPLIMENTS FOR
HAWAIIAN EXHIBIT

The following extract from business
letter to Levers & Cooke. Limited, from
a Seattle correspondent, was read at
the meeting of the Promotion Commit

"The A.-Y.-P. Exposition is now in
full blast, and the Hawaiian exhibit
was installed yesterday. This Is the
first day the building was open to the

who came from the fair grounds, and
he says the Hawaiian is one of If not
