Mr. Haywood then state-d that he did not Intend to ask for spcechi s. and he would follow the legislative plan of go ing into n "committee of the whole" and would nsk Speaker Henderson to take the chair. The Speaker was in an uncommonly pleasant mood. He said that he had done all that h coulu to facilitate the establishment of goo. government in Hawaii. He was glnd that Governor Pole had come to Washington and had seen the President. Turning to him he said: "We are with you, Governor Dole: we trust you and we will stand by you." The Speaker then made some humorous allusions to the visit of "Joe" cpstor of Governor Dole. Thurston. Carte- and himself. The descendants of those men were bound to maintain these institutions. There would be. no doubt. In wie future, an overwhelming population of native born Portuguese. Chinese ad Japanese, but they were born within an American environment, were largely free from their inherited traditions, and under the influence of their new education and associations would become American citizens of an excellent type and the Nation would not be ashamed of them. Congress had given the native population unlimited suffrage, on the theory that they knew now in govern tnemseives. I'roZVssor TyndaM once said that tne tragedy of science was a "Beautiful Theory killed by an Incontrovertible Fact." The na tives had exhibited the Tragedy of Politics. "The Beautiful theory of Democracy killed by an Irrvsponsible vote." In response to a call from the Speak er. I hairman Knox, of the committee on territories, made a brief speech. In w hich he alluded to his interest In Ha waii. He earnestly hoped that the Ter ritory would send a Delegate who knew something about the country which he represented. It was an important mat ter.

ATHERED about the banquet ta ble last evening representatives of the commercial lfe of Hono lulu pledged their support to a compe tent exhibit of the resources and indus tries of Hawaii. As the guests of Com missioner General Barrett more than a score of the men prominent In every department of the business life of the city took part in the dinner, which had for its object the celebration of the inauguration of the work here, and in words which meant much, set out their determination to enlist every element in the life of the community for the success of the enterprise. In the main dining room of the Moana hotel the table for the banquet was spread. The decorations were In pink carnations and maiden hair, and the electric lights which surrounded the set pieces shone their glow into the flowers and fronds. The table was a great ellipse, Commissioner General Barrett being at one end and Governor Cooper at the other. Judge Estee and Mr. S. M. Damon, of Bishop A Co., sat on the right and left of the host, while Mr. F. A. Schaefer. of the Planters' Association, and Governor Cleghorn . re at the right and left of the Gov ernor. About the table were gathered J. B. Atherton. representing the Cham ber of Commerce: J. G. Spencer, its secretary; B. F. Dillingham, W. W. Harris, Representative-elect; fiamuel Parker. National committeeman; Sen ator David Kalauokalani, Prince Jonah Kalnnlanole, Prince David Kawanana k a. H. A. Isenberg, of Hackfeld A "ompany. Superintendent of Public Works J. H. Boyd. a.

The band was playing at the Moana Hotel last evening, and to the strains of a inarch the guests entered the din ing room. When the menu, which was in the best style of Manager Allen, had been discussed, vbi1' Ihe band played "Th.- Star Spangled Banner," Comm; sioner General Barrett proposed the health of the President of the United States, and the guests drank standing, remaining so until the national anthem srns completed. Mr. Barrett then said. "For the Louisiana Purchase Exposi tion, and for myself as its representa tive. I thank you for the honor of your presence tonight. In extending hearty felicitations for the beginning of a movement for worthy participation in the St. l.ouis World s Fair, I wish !o propose a toast for the perpetual wel fare of this wonderful little Territory In the mid-Pacific. "Hawaii holds an ideal place in the advancement of American and Pacific progress. She stands as if designed by the 'reai"r to be the clearing house, as it were, of these mighty seas, peo ples and trade. She will advance from h-r present recognised strategic, com mercial and political point of advan tage to wealth, influence and general status that shall astonish the pessimist and delight the optimists of her fu ture. The laying of the Pacific cable, ths opening of the trans-isthmian canal, the building up of our merchant ma rine, and the full exploitation of Amer icans opportunities on the Pacific, will make my prophecies seem conservative and well warranted. "With pride In your past, with hope for the future. I appeal to you to dem onstrate within the gates of the Loui siana Purchase Expedition that Hawaii an and will stand the comparison there to be made with the other states and territories of the United States and with the nations of the world great and small. I congratulate you on the movement for participation Just inau gurated, and I call upon Governor Cooper to respond to the sentiment. May Hawaii be blessed with lasting prosperity and may she assist the at tainment of such a desideratum br creditable representation at St. Louis.' " Governor Cooper responded In part as follows: "Emerging from a state of semi-barbarism less than one hundred years ago. Hawaii has made rapid progress, and I believe that the work in which we are now engaged, which has been well begun, will result in a worthy participation in the exposition LAvia. at it.
