Army and Navy.
Admiral Cowles responded Jointly
with General Macomb to the feast OF
the Army and Navy. The former said
one thing was of interest, and that was
tho presence of the entire Pacific fleet
here under Admiral Thomas. He said
that Admiral Thomas had been heart

the Army, it was the Army that would
always help the Navy.
General Maeomb said that although
he was of the Army be was also con-
nected with the Navy, for he had mar
ried into it. He said there was gem

the Army and Navy and that both
branches were always spelling for a
fight. Quite to the contrary, they both
stood for peace. He concluded by say
ing that united they stand and united
they will fall, if ever they do.

Hawaiian Dredging Company, spoke,
not for the men behind the gun, but
for the men before the gun, the man
who had dredged the channel to Pearl

in the eating, and the California had
como into the harbor. He said It was
a happy day for himself and those as
sociatod with him in the dredger work

The party returned to Honolulu in a
special train, the engine Of which was

Dor, tho other whiatlee in the city took
up the refrain and din was general for
the next ten minutes. The automobiles
on the different stands got busy and

made more noise than did tho whistles
