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.

SPECIAL ELECTION,
A Sussessor to Senator Schmidt
to He Chosen.
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

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.

TO MEET AGAIN
First Repent Will Have a
Reunion January 17.
EVEIIIIIG AT DRILL SHED
Muster Inspection In the Day Time.
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.

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

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.
