The Councils are sitting this afternoon. So the “battery" clothed also; the Star says so. Wonder if the gun battery will wear black stockings as well as the blouse. The bananas and other fruit, intended for the Miowera, will be shipped to San Francisco by the Bkts. Discovery and Planter. “President Dole is expected to return on the next trip of the Kinau,” says the Star. The usual asinine performance, may be expected to occur on that occasion. There was a Hulahula at the K. K. bath house, at Keiki’s, Waikiki-kai last evening. The dance lasted for about three hours. A number of tourists and others were present. The result of the work of the ways and means committee, and of the Reform party in the last legislature, is now being illustrated. Wonder if Marsden has been down to the dock to see the picture? He ought to feel proud of his handi-work. A well known phyician in this city, one of “the fold"—of hypocrites, was heard to remark the other day when speaking of the steamer now ashore, “I am sorry that it was not one of the Oceanic line.’’ Yet that man undoubtedly attends services twice on the “Sabbath,” and the extra prayer meetings as well. Arrangements for chartering a steamer to take the mails and passengers of the Miowera to Vancouver have not been perfected. We understand that the agents of the steamer Aikoku Maru wanted $20,000 for the use of that vessel. Wilder’s S. S. Co. asked $650 a day for the steamer Claudine. Messrs T. H. Davies & Co. local agents for the S. S. Miowera, offered $12,000.
