Dailey, of Omaha, who; is on his way to the Philippines in or.der to gather exhibits for the proposed Greater American Exposition, to " he held in Omaha this year, is still in this city. He will remain here until the Puebla sails, as he intends to go direct to Manila with the transport. "I am no stronger to Honolulu, pu know," said he yesterday to an Adver tiser reporter. "Last year when the war broke out I became patriotic and enlisted. I was with the Nebraska reg iment and we went to the Philippines. Ever since we passed through here on our way to Manila, 1 have had a warm place in uiy heart for Honolulu. "How about our proposed exposition this year? Well, we intend to try and make it bigger and better than the one last year. If we succeed in doing this we shall.be satisfied, as the one just closed a few months ago came up to the highest expectations of the pro moters. . .' ', "We intend to make itstrictly as rep resented to.be, a Greater American Ex position". -All . the new: possessions. Cuba;' Porto' Rrco,': the PhilippinebCz.vi Hawaii will be represented." "The gentleman who will look out for Hawaii's interests will arrive on the next steamer. We are very anxious to get a good exhibit from the Islands, as the people are greatly interested in the first born of the new possessions. "Everything this year will, be con ducted cn- a strictly business basis. We will get the exhibits from the Islands, give a guarantee for their safe-keeping, and then ship them both ways at our own expense. We consider it enough for the exhibitor to do when he allows us the privilege of using his property. "I think all the people of the Islands, of Honolulu especially, agree that the results of such an exhibition of re sources is productive of good results. This can- be seen by the beneficial re sults of last year's exposition. "From here I shall go direct to Ma nila. There I desire to obtain a -thoroughly representative exhibit of the islands' resources and curiosities. I am charmed with Honolulu and if it were not for my contract I doubt if I should get any further." S Pleasant Surprise. r The announcement of the engage ment of Miss Clara Dekum, of Port land, Oregon, to Mr. J. R. Myers, of Lihue, Kauai, came as a very pleasant surprise to the many friends of the lady in Honolulu, even though some of them were aware that Mr. Myers had lately made a visit to Portland. Miss Dekum will be welcomed back to the Islands with open arms, wheth er she comes as Miss Dekum or as Mrs. Myers, as during her visit to her broth er here last year, she endeared herself to a large circle who were very sorry to see her leave. .Members Transferred.

There was very little doing in the stock market yesterday. There were few transactions and these were at a lower, fig ure than the same stocks reached a few days ago. The most noticeable slump was in Kihei, which dropped to $10 premium, some sales being made as low even as ?8 and $9 net. Owing to reports circulat ed in regard to the water sup ply people were anxious to get rid of their stock at almost any price. . When J. B. Castle and J. P. Cooke, of Alexander & Baldwin, were seen in regard to the water reports, they said: "We have no desire at ail to boom Kihei. It does not need that. But in justice to the holders it is only fair to state that all re ports stating there is a lack of water are "utterly unfounded. "The water supply is develop ing better even than was ex pected. The flow is entirely sat isfactory to the promoters, and they are the ones most inter ested." The report about the water supply has been industriously circulated. Saturday night the Chinese holders of stock were almost in a panic on. account of the rumors. They offered the stock at almost any price. The same feeling pervaded the mar ket yesterday, but those who know most about the prospects were not. affected by the rum ors. 4- 4 4-4-4-4-4-4-4- 4- 4-4- V 4-4-4-4-4 4 4- 4-. 4- 4- 4- 4444444444 IIEAVY BOOKINGS.

THE ELEELE ROAD Arransements About Completed for New Electric Roafl. HAS MANY ADVANTAGES E. T. Dreler In Charge of the Pro; ject All the Material Now on the Ground To be Started Soon. E. T. Dreier, son of Manager Dreier of Eleele plantation, is in the city on a business trip, having for Us object further electrical improvements for Eleele, of which he is the electricion. Mr. Dreier spent some time in Ger many perfecting his studies in this line and the advanced work on the planta tion has either been under his direct supervision or the work of his hands, while many of the best ideas are strict 13' his own. The most notable work that has been accomplished up to the present time is the inauguration and completion of the-first section of the new electric plantation railway. This section is but one quarter of a mile in length, hut sufficiently long to practically demon strate that the scheme was a complete success. The first car was run over the lime last Friday afternoon with, Manager Dreier in person handling the levers, thus giving him the distinction of be ing the first person to run an electric car in Hawaii-. The trial was a complete success and the management .were more. . than pleased at the result, for, no matter how well satisfied they wrere as to the correctness of the idea, there was nothing like seeing the line in actual operation to prove their theories. With the dynamo showing but 350 vplts of 60 amperes the motor car was run up and down a 4 per cant grade without the least difficulty. The dy namo has a capacity, however, of 550 volts of 90 amperes, which is more than they anticipate needing, as 550 volts of 50 amperes s considered ample to haul six 3-ton cars over 4 per cent grades, which is as high as they are obliged to go. One of the strong points made in favor of the electrical road for the plan tations is the lessened liability of fire. It is only a few days since a neighbor ing plantation had a blaze started from the plantation locomotive. The blaze was instantly extinguished, to be sure, and without its doing any dam age, but it shows what might easily happen on any of the plantations. This danger is entirely obviated by the use of the electric motor. Another item worthy of mention and one which will recommend itself to all the economical managers is the cheap ness of operation. In this particular case the dynamo is operated directly from the main engine in the mill and this engine is fired entirely by the cane refuse, thus practically disposing of the expense of fuel. The only running ex pense figured on is cost of motorman and necessary repairs, and there ap pears no reason why the last item should not be very much less than with a steam railway. Mr. E. T. Dreier kept close watch of all the construction work on the line and personally did all of the real elec trical work. He justly feels proud of the showing made, to the success of which he has so greatly contributed. All of the material to complete two miles of road is now on the ground and the extension will be pushed to comple tion without dela-. The switch-board and dynamo came from Chicago, the frame work of the motor car from the Baldwin Locomo tive Works and the motor proper from Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ROvAt BAKINO POWOF the Wesiinghouse Co., the orders hav ing been placed through the Hawaiian Electric Co. Mr. Dreier has other Improvements of importance well under way. ono of the most important of which is a method of running the centrifugals by electricity, thus doing away with all the overhead belts. He has already applied for letters patent on this idea, which he expects to have in full oper ation in a short time. A demonstration of the success of the electric plantation railroad, which now seems fully assured at Eleele, will have a tendency to revolutionize plan tation methods of transportation. Orpheum Improvements. Mr. Desky ts sparing neither trou ble or expense to maie the Orpheum a first class family theatre. One of his latest improvements, especially for the convenience of its patrons, i a tele phone in the box office. By calling up 540 any time after 10 a. m. one can reserve seats which will , he held for them until S o'clock on the evening; of the performance. Matinee seats for the children can be (reserved in the same way. ANNUAL MEETING. Y. JSU C. A. Elects Officers for the Ensuing Year. Last evening the y. M. C. A. held its annual meeting.

About l o ciock japt. lion. of the police force, and Policeman Chas. Kakalia were walking along the waterfront, when they suddenly heard a man crying for help. They rushed to the spot aTl found that the cries came from a man struggling in the water. Quick as a flash Kakalia threw off his coat and jumped into the water. He seized the man just as he was going down the last time. With .Capt. Holi's assistance he dragged him up on the wharf, from where he was taken, on board the boat. Had it not been for i Ithe brave, prompt action of Kakalia, Keoki wrould never have takent another trip with the Kinau. At the Orpheum. There was a fair attendance at the Orpheum last evening. The program, was the same as Saturday night and ' was put on in good shape. The mem bers of the company always do their best whether the house is crowded or not.
