SOME BENEFITS IN SIGHT Would Attract Investors Business People Could Meet A Few PoslbUitles. s A couple of the Chas. T. Wilder, let ters concerning the project for an Hawaiian-American Exposition in this city the coming summer, will be re ferred to the Chamber of Commerce, and that body will likely hold a meet ing during the week to consider them. A number of prominent business men spoken to on the subject yesterday were not especially enthusiastic over the enterprise, but all expressed wil lingness to encourage the same and the most conservative believed that it could le made a success locally that is, the expenses could be met, if the affair was properly managed, by the gate receipts. - Joa. B. Atherton, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said that some of the producers and exporters of the States appeared to believe that Hawaii was very far behind the time indus trially and commercially, whereas, the leading concerns here have always been apt and ready in search for im provements and markets to meet local calla. Mr. Atherton believes that some benefit would accrue to the men on the Mainland who would show goods here. In any event closer relations would be established and perhaps better under standings reached. Naturally it is ex pected that in the future the trade with the coast will increase. The president of the Chamber of Commerce men tioned two things important in trade that factors of the 'Mainland have for years allowed Island consumers to import from England and Germany. These are steam plows and galvanized iron, uuite lately some galvanized iron has been brought from the United States and a plan is afoot, as men tioned in this paper a few weeks ago, to have steam plows for the planta tions manufactured at Springfield. O. Orders have been placed there by one or more of the plantations. At the same time steam plows to the value, in cluding freight, of $70,000, have been ordered from here within the past six months. It is the opinion of all who have given expression in the premises that the Islands would be vastly benefitted by the proposed exposition. A good many excursions would be brought from all over the United States. The travelers would be well repaid for their expenditures and at the same time would leave some money in the town and at other places of the group. There would be a few of the usual show hangerson, but the bulk of the visitors would be persons of means and intelli- for the Islands would be an impressive one. Hawaiian exposition possibilities are practically without limit. Every Island and every community would contribute and the spirit of rivalry would tend to produce some surpris ing results. Native products would be seen that are unthought of in ordin ary considerations. The visitor would go away mastered with the idea that in Hawaii there was something be sides sugar and flowers and a volcano. Rice and coffee and taro and all the fruits and vegetables would have their innings. To some of the visitors there would doubtless come industrial sug gestion that followed out would bring profit that had not been dreamed of by home people. The arts and music and the drama could be exploited. Old and new Hawaii could be contrasted. There might be games and presentation of historical tableaux. All these things would contribute to the attractiveness that must exist to insure attendance j from throughout the group. The building and the time for the exposition are important matters. As remarked before, it would be neces sary to erect a pavilion or palace and, of course, it should be in a location easy of access. It would be of frame and not costly. The time hinted by Mr. Wilder is early the coming sum mer. This is likely too soon, but the affair cannot be put off till next year, for it will not do to have the new territory of Hawaii get the United States into trouble by giving a 1900 exposition and making the Paris show a failure. It is too soon after the ten sion incident to the war to do anything of this sort, for the United States and France are getting quite friendly again. It is believed by those who have given some thought to the subject that if work begins at once the first Hawaii an exposition can be held in the fall of this year. When that decision is reached color schemes and plans for temporary hotels will be in order. HONOLULU HARBOR. (San Francisco Advt.) PROPOSALS. Construction of wharves and excavation of slips, etc., at coaling station, Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. Sealed proposals, in duplicate, indorsed "Proposal for the con struction of wharves and the excavation of slips in the har bor of Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands," will be received at the Bureau of Equipment, Navy Department, Washington, D.

It was decided by the Cabinet some days ago to have a special election on this island to fill the vacancy in the Oahu Senatorial delegation made by the resignation of H. W. Schmidt, who as a consul. Somehow the fact that the vacancy was to be filled was not 51 VUL 1111 J'COldUaj' Ullt UUlQ. 11 was explained by a member of the Cabinet that there was some delay in reaching the conclusion, as in all prob ability the Legislature wrould cease to exist when laws for Hawaii were made at Washington. It is anticipated, however, that there may be required, towards the midsummer, a special ses sion of the Legislature, or at least of the Senate, for the purpose of trans acting some business suggested from Washington. The election will be held February 24. Fifty Tins of Opium. Deputy Marshal Chillingworth made the first good opium haul of the year early last evening. The officer had for some time been watching a stranger named Gallagher, reputed to have at one time been a member of the crew of the S. S. Australia. Chillingworth caught Gallagher in a hack last night and found the baggage to be twenty five pounds of California opium. The driver of the vehicle was one Costello, who averred that he was engaged by Gallagher on Hotel street and did not know where the opium was coming from or to what point it was to be taken. Gallagher is in jail. Costello was released on his own recognizance. Bail for Gallagher was fixed at $S00. He made no effort to secure it and said last night that he did not care to see an attorney. The officers state that Gallagher was some time since arrest ed on Kauai while peddling opium and fined $230. POPULAR PRICES. L. B.

Dinner With Music and Speech esA High Jinks. The First Regiment, N. G. H., will make a day and an evening of it both on the 17th inst. It is expected that within a day or two there will issue fiom general headquarters an order for a muster and inspection of the seven companies. It was voted at a meeting last evening as the sense of the Board of Officers that the ceremonies should be held on the parade ground of the First Regiment, in front of the Drill Shed. It was the opinion that much better results would be achieved by omitting the march to the Makiki base ball grounds. Captains of companies have been asked to see that every man in each command has all his belong ings in ship shape for tha inspection, that all be urged to appear for roll call at muster and that all property be ex hibited on the occasion so that the wants of the various elements, as well as the general needs of the regiment may be known. Last year, on the 17th, which is the day for this annual func tion, an officer was detailed to look after each company, and another for the band. In this way the work was gotten through with in short order and in a most satisfactory manner. It is likely that some such system will be adopted this time. For the event there will be a general cleaning of rifles, a polishing of buttons and belt plates and brushing up of uniforms. The blankets and haversacks and canteens will remain in the storeroom of the quartermaster, where they are care fully stored with oil coats, tents and other campaign essentials, ready to be issued at a moment's notice. In the evening there will be a regi mental reunion. This will be under the direction of Lieut. Col. Jones, Maj. Mc Carthy, Capt. Ashley, Capt. Camara, Capt. Smith and Lieut. Towse. The Drill Shed will be occupied and the tables will be weighted down with a substantial soldier luncheon, supple mented by fruits and other extras. The commissary excursion will be personal ly conducted by Capt. Ashley, who is authorized to act as his own staff or to i enlist assistance. The arrangement! committee is also the committee on entertainment. There will be a few short speeches by representative men, including the Commander-in-Chief, President Dole, and Messrs. Cooper and W. O. Smith, of the Cabinet, It i3 ex pected that the Government band will be in attendance and a neat program will be arranged, with singing and specialties from the stage. 'A few invitations will be sent out, for instance to the officers of the United States forces now here. Other wise the attendance will be confined to members of the regiment and ex-members.. From 800 to 1000 men will be mustered for the feast. There are a goodly number of ex members of the First Regiment on other shores. About fifty of them are in Manila as soldiers for Uncle Sam. They enlisted in various commands passing through here on transports or stowed away and enlisted at Manila. These boys will be toasted on the 17th. Chas. T. Wilder is a representative at &BSQLVIZIX Makes the food more delicious and wholesome OVl efNQ POWDEI San Francisco. In town there might I? mentioned Marshal Brown, Collector General McStocker, Senator McCand less, Capt. E. O. White, Col. J. S. Mar tin, Fritz Rowland and many others. At the meeting last evening every one was enthusiastic over the promise of a good time on the 17th after the formal attention to duty. It was reported to the Board of Of ficers that the authorities at headquart ers had agreed that an officer retiring after five years should have the priv ilege of retaining his uniform and eido arms as private property. Inquiry was made concerning the quarters of F company, which la nt present the guest of A. It was voted to. send a section of artillery after Mr. Rowell, if necessary, to have him pro vide the proper housing without delay. Of course Mr. Rowell is not to be hurt but F must have a home. Announcement was made by Maj. McCarthy that on Friday evening of this week there would be a drill of the First Battalion, four companies. Just Like Indoors. Emma Square was lighted like x parlor last night. The Washington outdoor lights were used and were even more effpcHvA than whpn shown at tK Hawaiian hotel a couple of weeks ago. mere was a large crowa out lor tne one of. the heaviest gatherings in r months, as the program arranged 'by Capt. Bcrger was unusually attractive. The lightreached the limits of the Square and beyond. In fact it was charged with intruding, for it illum inated like a searchlight some of the choice little nooks for which Emma Square has long been famed. , The Washington light was again endorsed strongly as a first class llluminant for out tioor anairs. i 1 WIDE TIKES. U. S. Government Complies with Local Law. There is no question concerning the information at hand in the department of the quartermaster for the United States armies on the subject of certain Hawaiian laws. There is ocular de monstration of this in an exhibit at Emmes wharf, where the United States live stock sailing ship Tacoma is dis charging. A dray with all the army identification marks was there on view yesterday morning and created quite a; sensation. It is for the transfer of the heaviest goods and will always .be drawn by four mules. The dray has three-inch axles. In consequence of this it has six-inch tires. Ae the wheels do not rack, the wagon, which is extremely heavy in every way, is virtually a two-foot road roller. It will do the roads good wherever it may be used. This monster truck is only one of a number of new vehicles aboard the Tacoma and all built with a view to complying with the Hawaiian Jaw on wide tires. When Camps McKinley and Otis had 1,500 men each the wagon- traffic to the places, with the ordinary tires, -cut up the roads in fearful style. The destruction almost maddened the road makers of the district. With the wide tires the Government traffic will be a distinct aid to the road depart ment. A New Coporation. The Chas. M. Cooke Company, Ltd., has been incorporated, with a capital of $300,000 and with this membership: Chas. M. Cooke, Anna C. Cooke, C. M. Cooke, Jr., C. H. Cooke, A. Frank Cooke, F. J. Iowrey and J. B.
