Ran From Typhoon.
Secretary Knox was enthusiasts"
about his trip to Japan. which, aside
from the sad errand which took him
there. was most enjoyable. With the
exception of a couple of days, the voy-
age of the Maryland both going and
coming was like a yachting trip on
summer seas.
I'VE had little rough weather the
first two days out from Yokohama"

We were chased by the big typhoon
that did so much damage to the coun-
try, but the Maryland is a good ship
to be at sea on in a storm.
The ceremonial part of our visit
was most impressive continued the
Secretary. The whole nation mourn

speculation"
How about politics; what's the

are completely out of touch with
world news and mainland affairs.

I'VE made a fast run from Yoke
hama to Honolulu, said Rear Admiral
Miller yesterday. I'VE got some ex-
ceptionally good coal aboard at the
former port, and this enabled the
Maryland to do some great steaming.
We arrived almost a day before we
expected to when we started out.
The outside edge of the typhoon was
the only incident of the trip worth
mentioning"
The Maryland will probably finish
coaling tonight, and will pull out some
time Friday, probably early in the
afternoon, but the exact time depend

Navajo Will Salute.
There was great booming of guns
this afternoon when the party left for
Pearl Harbor on the Navajo. In fact,
had all the high civil and naval Off
GERS been accorded the salutes they
were entitled to, the start would have
been much delayed. As it was the two
cabinet officers were given the nine
teen guns each that is their due, and
the firing of these SO shots took up
quite enough time and made enough
noise. Had Governor Frear taken his
seventeen and Rear Admiral Reynolds
his thirteen, the population of the wa
tertront would have thought that Duke
kahanamoku was leaving on another
title hunt.
The parties of Secretary of State
Knox and Secretary of the Interior
Fisher, which, me in Honolulu yes
terday, will leave together about mid
day Friday for the mainland 1t has
been practically decided to eliminate
the trip to Hilo and the volcano, as
the result of the report from the lat
ter point that the crater is not very
active at the present time.
AS the guests of Rear Admiral
Cowles the two cabinet officers, their
families and retinues this afternoon
are taking a trip by boat to Pearl
Harbor They will return this even
ing in time to be present at the poi
dinner at the home of Princess Kawa
nanakOa. So far tomerrOw's program
on the island includes nothing further
than luncheon at Schofield Barracks.
1t has not been decided whether the
Maryland will sail before or after
luncheon Friday.
