It is believed that Governor Frear has practically decided upon the ap
Iointment of David Lloyd Conkling as Treasurer of the Territory, succeeding
to the place formerly held by A. J. Campbell.
While the appointment has not been formally announced, Mr. Conkling has
been summoned back from Hawaii and will return to Honolulu on the Mauna
Loa Tuesday, in time to prepare for the commencement of his duties as Treasurer
on July 1, the beginning of the new biennial period.
For the past two years Mr. Conkling
has been employed as Chief Clerk in
the Executive Department of the Ter
ritorial Government, and during that
time litis earned a well deserved repu
tarion for industry and ability, all of
which has served to bring about the
promotion that is to make him Treas
urer of the Territory. The good work
that Conkling has performed in connec
tion with his duties as Chief Clerk of
the department has been generally rec
ognizee!, the last Legislature authoriz
ing a special appropriation as a result
of the assistance afforded by Conkling
to the legislative committees.
Governor Frear stated yesterday that
a number of considerations were neces
sarily involved in the selection of a
new Treasurer and that the appoint
ment of Mr. Conkling would bo no re
flection upon others who were willing
to accept the responsibility of caring
for the finances of the Territory.
"I have a very high opinion of
tirhei.s xb-j were available. ?'; luk o.d
tion," .said Governor Frear. "Mr.
Conkling has shown a high order of
ability in his present position and in
the course of his work has had much
to do with finances. He is a good all
around man."
V.
mendation. He has riot been a candi
date for the place and his appointment
will come from the conviction of Gov
ernor Frear that he will fulfil the duties
of his new office in the manner that
has characterized his work as Chief
Clerk in the Executive Department.
Conkling has held the position of
Chief Clerk for a period of about two
years, having accepted the place short
ly before the resignation of Governor
Carter. He continued in office when
Governor Frear became the Territory's
Chief Executive.
Before becoming Chief Clerk under
Governor Carter! Conkling was engaged
in local newspaper work and was also
in the employ of the Inter-Island Steam
ship Company.
The vacancy in the office of Terri
torial Treasurer was created by reason
of the fact thit the Senate declined
to confirm the reappointment of A. J.
Campbell. The influence of the liquor
interests was strong among the mem
bers of the Upper House of the Legis
lature. It was through his acting as a
member of the Oahu Board of Liquor
Commissioners that opposition to Camp
bell's reappointment developed in the
Senate, and ; the influence was strong

When Campbell's term of office ex

islature, Attorney General ITemenway

WASHINGTON, June 27. Ambassador Takahira has been re
called to Tokio to discuss with his government matters in connection
with a revision of the treaty between Japan and America in those
sections dealing with commerce and navigation. He will leave
Washington as soon as Congress adjourns and will sail from Seattle.
The fact that it is announced that the Ambassador will sail from a port
which will enable him to reach Japan without touching at Honolulu is rather
significant. It evidences a dsposition to keep away from Hawaii so long a
there exists any chance of his being approached in the Hawaii labor question.

Slate-Gray Cruiser Arrives on
HerWay to the South
Seas.
More formidable than ever in her
war-paint of dark slate, looking more
British than when she wore dainty
white, the big United States protected
cruiser St. Louis, Captain Albert
Gleaves, commanding, came into port
yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock
after a fine run from Santa Barbara
channel, averaging 17 knots all the
way over. After a stay of ten days
in port during which time she will
take on a thousand ' tons of coal the
cruiser will leave for Samoa, via Ililo
possibly.
The St. Louis may only be a cruiser
but she appears to have battleship
strength in guns and crew; for of the
former she lias fourteen G-men and
eighteen 3-inoh guns and C4 men. She
is registered as of 9000 tons and is
capable of steaming 23 knots per hour,
putting her in the class of the speedi
est of nil warships.
The St. Louis was an object of ex
treme interest to the Japanese. Many
were on hand to watch her tie up at
the Oceanic wharf and during the aft
ernoon big crowds came to look upon
her massive si'les and towering mili
tary masts and rather wicked-looking
gen. Tliev looked with stolid faces
and whether the thought came into
their minds that she was something a
littb- better than the visiting Japa
nese warships or not may not be
known.
The St. Louis has been held in re
serve at Bremerton for some time and
he present trip is ?. practice cruise
to some extent. Pago Pago. Samoa, be
ing the southernmost port of call.
When she returns north she may again
be placed in the reserve list and possi
bly then much of her top hamper may
be removed In accordance with the
new plan of the navy department to
remove all unnecessary features which
show above decks, even to some of the
observation bridges. The Milvyaukee
is said to be undergoing a removal of
top hamper now, some of the big
cranes being slated for the scrap pile.
The St. Louis is carrying a crew of
almost green men, who became greener
after they left the Const for most of
them became seasick. They are- still
unused to many of the duties of blue
jackets but the officers state that they
are being pulled through and when the
cruise is finished they will have passed
through a thorough probationary course
to entitle them to equal privileges with
the veterans.
Not a single marine is aboard the
St. Louis, but on this cruise she needs
none and therefore Camp Very will
not be invaded for ship detachments
just yet.
When the St. Louis went south from
Mare Island to the Santa Barbara chan
nel it was to take her standardization
trial. She had just been fitted with
new propellers and it was necessary to
try them out officially. After the trials
were over the vessel left for Honolulu
direct.
On May 3 the St. Louis left the Puget
Sound Navy Yard. The battleship
Oregon was" then in dry dock having
her new "hay-stack" mast installed.
Ou May C Admiral Ijichi visited the
yard. On May 21 the cruiser received
72 men from the Independence and Pen
sacola, and a few days later CO men
from the Milwaukee. Ou June 3 Ad
miral Ijichi and many officers and 10S
midshipmen from the two Japanese
warships, accompanied by Uear-Admiral
Kodgers, U.S.X., Hear-Admiral Sebree
and Kear-Admiral Barry, came aboard,
and the Japanese Admiral is said to
have remarked, "the cleanest ship 1
ever saw."
On June 15, after ten months of"
Navv Yard life, word was passed for
all hands to "Up anchor." The vessel
moved about five yards, when the mud
hook was dropped again. On June 13
the vessel proceeded to San Francisco.
On June 1! the start was made for Ho
nolulu. The officers of the St. Louis

STOCKHOLM, June 27. During the festivities in connection
with the arrival here yesterday of the Czar and Czarina of Russia,
General Beckman, Chief of the Swedish Coast Artillery, was assas
sinated. The assassin committed suicide to avoid falling into the
hands of the authorities. This incident marred the celebration.
ONE HUNDRED DEATHS! W
touch to the illusion,- is one of the
feats accomplished by. those who
planned to make the Hawaii exhibit
the unique one of the whole exposi
tion. And those who have seen and re
turned to Honolulu say that Hawaii 's
exhibit is far different from any other
and its details worked .out so inter
estingly that the results will stick in

relief maps of the Hawaiian Islands,
which are shown in a great tank of
water as if resting1 in the bosom of the
Pacific ocean, says that this feature
is attracting general attention and
people gaze into the tanks for hours.
In fact- interest has so centered on
the maps that some one of the attend
ants is generally stationed at the tank
to point out various features and ex
plain them.
The tank rests in the center of the
building. The islands are shown in
their relative positions in a great con
crete tank 51 feet long and rise above
the blue water, which represents the
Pacific ocean. The horizontal scale is
one mile to the inch and the vertical
as if the regular Hawaiian trade wind
was blowing even in the Hawaii build
ing. This is caused by a draft blow
ing through one of the doors. The
smoke effect is caused by punk stick
treated with sulphur the smoke pass
ing up a tube through the map.
The school exhibit is. attracting
marked attention. It is so systematical
ly arranged by Mr. King, grade by
grade, that it can be followed easily,
which can not be said of the school
exhibits from the Northwestern States
and Alaska. The school exhibit is
pronounced by those interested in
education to; be one of the finest ever
shown.
