lSpecial CorrespondenceLl

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IT,
Much reticence surrounds the question
of the postmastership at Honolulu at
the Post Office Department here. Post
master General Hitchcock states that
he has not had time since assuming
the duties of his position to give the
matter attention, and First Assistant
Postmaster General Grandfeld who
had had the case in charge, declines
to make any comment upon it. The
term of the present incumbent Mr..
Pratt, expired in February, and he
was almost unanimously endorsed by
the business interests of Hawaii for
| reappointment He also had the en-
dorsement of the delegate and other
leading politicians of the terri
tory. AS Mr.. Pratt's term expired
about the time the old officials were
I leaving the Department and the new
ones were coming in, and as no imme-
diate necessity existed for closing up
the matter, the reappointment has
j been allowed to drift,
In connection with the case, now
ever. reports were filed with the post
office department by the post Office In
spector for the district stating that
the office was rot conducted with the
degree OF efficiency required by the
| department.. 1t has since transpired
that this shortcoming was due prob
ably to the actions of the chief clerk
who was addicted to the habit o fOpen-
ing and destroying official letters. He
had been a trusted employee and there
was no suspicion as to his laxity OF
methods The question now before
tho department is shall the postmaster
be held responsible for the msdeeds OF
his employee. If it should be decided
that Postmaster Pratt should be helC

into the laws passed by the Legisla-
ture which has just adjourned, to de-
termine what they can and what they
can't do. The plumber question, some
how. appears to be the first to demand
settlement, and ON Tuesday evening
next the Board will likely consider an
appointment
There are several candidates for the
job. One is j. j. Miehlstein, and an
, other is j. Venhuizen. The former
supervised all the plumbing work at
, Fort Shafter and is well armed with
. recommendation from the Federal
military authorities here. The latter
has had local Board of Health expert
ence to a considerable degree.
The position is considered important
as being of a very responsible nature
and such an officers vigilance is es-
sential to the constant cleanliness OF
the city.
Keen, who was plumbing inspec-
tor. is now on the mainland for his
health. He was the Board of Health
agent.
Now it is up to the City and Coun-
ty to secure and authorize such an
officer to safeguard the citys health.

Announcement OF Gift to College by

Joyful Celebration.
STUDENTS SERENADE DONORS
Despite Downpour 200 Engage in
Torchlight Procession-Dr. An
dreen Tells of the Gift.

The staid old chapel of Augustana
college witnessed unusual scenes yes
ter1ay afternoon when the announce
ment was made by DR.. Gustav An
dreen before the assembled student
body and professors of the magnifi-
cent gift of new library building
made by the family of the late Mr..
and Mrs. F. C. A. Denkmann yester-
day morning. All rules of decorum
were thrown to the winds, and the
chapel re-echoed with the yells of the
students which followed the announce
ment. 1t was perhaps the most joy
full announcement that has ever been
made within the college walls
The whole affair had been kept "a
secret by DR.. Andreen, who desired
10 spring a complete surprise on both
faculty and students No one had
even an inkling of waat was to take
place when hurried call was made
for meeting in the chapel at /
O'clock. After a song had been sung,
DR.. Anireen arose.
I'VE are gathered here this after
noon,' he said, "as family circle, for
it is always in the family circle that
we break news, good or bad. But it
happens this time that it is only good.
Some time ago +. c. Denkmann, of
one of our most prominent families Of
Rock Island, gave me word on which
TO ponder. He said, L have my eye on
you and your people, and if you mean
business. | expect to do something
knew from the manner in which he
said it that he meant TO do something
that would be felt.
Since tnat time, l have felt all the
time that Mr.. DenlImann and his fam
:, lily have been following us. for he has
from time to time been making inquir,
les as to the prospects of realizing
our plans for the jubilee celebration.
He has always been the interviewer,
and have answered his questions. AS
rule, in our work, it is the other
way.

morning, and Mr.. Denkmann then in

yells were given and then the pro-
cession moved off to the adjacent res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Davis.
A second serenade was given there
followed by another at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Marshall The
students then marched through the
down town district of Rock Island 10
Fourth avenue. Although considerably
wet by this time, the dampness did
not seem to have effected the enthus-
iasm of the party. and the last dem
onstration seemed to be the noisiest
of all. 1t was 8 o'clock when the
party broke up, and the students re-
turned to the college wet but happy.

DIR. Andreen stated last night that
the work of gathering ideas and plans
for the library will be commenced at
once. DR.. Andreen will return to Chi-
cago tomorrow to.resune the work OF
