'Posilbllity That President Stratum may JeIsn There lias Been a Smothered Scandal, and Friends say This Withhold! nil Itesignation. For some time past there has been talk of friction at Mills College between .Mrs. Mills and the president, Dr. Stratton. The matter --was kept qniet for a time, and the state of affairs was only known to those intimately acquainted with the management of the institution, the trustees and members of the faculty. It finally became a matter of public comment, and ten days or trwo weeks ago the reports first reached the Enquirer. These rumors were of improper acts on the part of President Stratton, in fact, amounted to serious charges of the gravest moral delinquency. His friends promptlj denied that there was one word of truth in the charges. Thinking that whatever might be the truth about the matter the college was bound to be the --worst sufferer by the ventilation of the scandal, the Enquirer took no step toward publication of the matter. It was hoped that all newspapers would take the same view of the situation, and that the facts would be ascertained and justice done without injurious publicity.But to-da- y it was learned that newspaper reporters were at work on the sensation and that publication was inevitable. "Ve think it proper, under these circumstances to publish certain facts, purposely omitting details, which as circulated, may be true or false, and are cer tainly disagreeable. In response to all inquiries the trustees have been found very reluctant to say anything concerning the matter. The facts, however, as near as could be ascertained, are as" follows: Some time in January one of the assistant teachers at JJills informed Dr. Stratton that she would make some charges against him of indiscreet conduct. Dr. Stratton immediately went to the Board of Trustees and stated the information he. had received and demanded an investigation. Thereupon the Board held several meetings and heard the statements of all the teachers who chose to come before them who were only three or four in number. All the members of the Board were present except two and as a result of the investigation the unanimouslj- - adopted a report and resolution, a copy of which the reporter was unable to obtain, but which it was ascertained was substantially as follows: That the charges should not be entertained and the official standing of all the teachers should remain as before the investigation. The board recommended that .ill the parties connected with the differences out of which the charges appeared to arise should lay aside all feelings of anger, and should work together in a spirit of loyalty to Mills College, remembering that the college work was of greater consequence than all questions of official precedence." We are assured that this resolution was adopted at the suggestion of a trustee who was not a particular friend of President Stratton, and that Dr. Stratton insisted that the idea of his resignation at any time should not be a condition of the adoption of the resolution. Dr. Stratton did not call witnesses on his own behalf but he made a full and complete denial of the material facts and charges and gave a recital of the annoyances and antagonisms wh;ch he had found in the performance of his duties as president of the college. The statement is also made by Dr. Stratton and his friends that he has not resigned nor written a resignation, and does not intend to do so under the pressure of any charges or suspicions of conduct unbecoming his previous character and reputation as a Christian minister. At the same time it is stated by his friends that for other reasons principally that he has not been allowed to be more than a figurehead at the college and not to exercise any real authority he would be glad to resign if he could do it without seeming to confess that there is foundation for charges of improper conduct. It is stated that the alleged acts which constitute the basis of the charges against President Sratton relate to a period a year or a year and a half ago j that his accusers are teachers in the seminary, and that no. "students are in anyway connected with the charges. ficv. C. C. Stratton, D. D., who succeeded'Homer Spraguo as President of UOIIb College, was formerly President of the University of the Pacific at San Jose, and it was at the urgent solicitation of the Board of Trustees of Mills College that he occupied the position. Dr. Stratton assumed his duties at Mills some three years ago and has since resided there with his wife and family. He is a minister of the Jfethodist Church and a Doctor of Divinity. Oakland Enqaircr.J N CONGRESS. The Closing Segslon Mr. Blaine Upon the Tatriotic "Work of the Conference. At noon April 19th, the Pan-Americ- Conference adjourned at "Washington sine die. After the transaction of somo routine business and the adoption of resolutions offered by Delegate Alfonso of Chili, pledging the sympathetic association of the members of the conference with the quadro-centonni- al celebration of the discovery of America, and by Delegate Bolet Peraza of Venezuela, expressing their gratitude for the hospitality of the United States, a motion to adjourn sine die was made and put to a vote. At 11:50 A. M. Mr. Blaine, rising to announce the result, said: Gentlemen: I withholdfor a moment the word of final adjournment of tho International American Conference, in ordor that I may express to you tho profound satisfaction with which the Government of the United States regards the --work that has been accomplished b' the International Conference. Tho importance of the subjects which have claimed your attention, the comprehensive intelligence and. watchful patriotism which you have brought to their discussion, must challenge the confidence and secure the admiration of the Governments and peoples whom you represent, while that larger patriotism which coi-stitul- es the fraternity of nations has received from you an impulse snehastho world has not before seen. Tho extent and value of all that has been worthily achieved by your conference cannot be measured to-da- y. We stand too near it; time will define and heighten the estimate of your ork; experience will confirm our present faith; .final results will bo your vindication and your triumph. If, in this closing hour, the conference had but one deed to celebrate, Ave should daro call tho world's attention to the deliberate, confident, solemn dedication of two great continents to peace, and to the prosperity which has peace for its foundation. Wo hold up' this new Magna Charta, which abolishes war and substitutes arbitration between the American Republics, as the first and great fruit of the international American Conference. That noblest of Americans, the aged poet and philanthropist "Whittier is the first to send his salutation and his benediction, declaring: "If in tho spirit of peace the American Conference agrees upon a rule of arbitration which shall make war in this hemisphere well nigh impossible, its session will prove one of the most important events in the history of tho world." I am instructed by m tho President to express the wish that before the members of the conference shall leave for their distant homes they accept the hospitality of the United States in a.visit to the southern section of the Union, similar to the one they have already made to the eastern and western sections. The President trusts that the tour will not only be a pleasant incident of your farewell to tho country, but that you will find advantage in a visit to so interesting and important a part of our republic. May I express to you, gentlemen, my deep appreciation of the honor you did me in calling me to preside over your deliberations. Your kindness has been unceasing, and for your formal words of approval I offer you my sincerest gratitude. Invoking the blessing of Almighty God upon the patri-otic'an- d fraternal work which has been hero begun for tho good of mankind, I now declare the American International Conference ad journed without day. The delivery of the address was characterized by Mr. Blaine's customary deliberate emphasis, and also by ovidonces of deep feeling on his part. Toward tho close his voice trembled with emotion, and when he took his seat the Council Chamber rang with hearty and long continued applause. The members of the conference then took carriages to the. Executive Mansion to pay their parting respects to the President. On arrival they were received by tho President in the East Kooin shortly after noon, each of them being introduced to him personally by Secrotary Blaine. The President then spoke as follows: " I find in this parting call of the delegates of the Conference of American States both pain and pleasure. I participate in the regret which the delegates from tho United States feel who are to part with those from other countries. I take pleasure in tho knowledge of the fact that your labors have been brought to a happy conclusion. The differences of opinion have been happily reconciled. I remark with plcasuro the proposition which will be productive of peace among the American States represented in tho conference. It will bo without excuse if one of them shall lift & hostile hand against the other. We gave you the other day a Teview of a small detachment of the American army- - not to show you that we have ah army, but that tiAWAllAN yiZfiBfr. TUEgllt, MAY , li gjAaifc we have none; that our securities are lodged with our people, and that they are safe. We rejoice that you have found in the organization of our country something which commends itself to your own. "We shall bo glad to receive now lessons in return. In conclusion, I find much to approve in the friendly purposes of tho conference toward this Government, and I will bid each and every ono of you a heartfelt good bye." Tho remarks of the President were greeted with applause. a CHURCH MEETING. The Second Congregation of St. Andrew's Cathedral Elects Churchwardens and Other Officers. A meeting of the male members of the second English-speakin- g congrer gation of St. Andrew's Cathedral was held "Wednesday evening in the Sunday school room. The rector, KevAlexander Mackintosh, presided, and there was a very good attendance. After prayer, the minutes of the previous meetings were read by Mr. T. R "Walker and approved. The same gentleman also read a statement of the churchwardens' accounts for the past year, which was accepted, the thanks of the meeting being voted to the two gentlemen, Messrs. T. E. "Walker and T. May, who had so ably filled the arduous duties. Messrs. T. R. Walker and T. May were unanimously churchwardens for the ensuing year. The other officers elected were: Sidesman, Capt. H. W. Mist, E. N., Hon. M. P. Eobinson, Messrs. E. W. Jordan, J. W. Podmore, John Gil-filla-n and D. Berry; Choir Committee, Messrs. T. May, T. M. Starkey and Chas. Crozier; Finance Committee, Hons. A. S. Cleghorn and M, P. Eobinson and the two churchwardens. This concluded the real business of the meeting. Mr. Walker then read some of the innumerable letters received from the Bishop. They related to the proportion that the second congre gation should pay towards the expenses of the cathedral, and also to a matter of interest. The latter has been paid under protest awaiting the action of the Synod. With regard to the running expenses of the cathedral, the Bishop says it is determined that the second congregation shall pay pro rata according to its contributions, which means in plain words, that the said congrega- three-fourth- tion shall pay s of the running expenses and the Bishop's congregation only one-fourt- h. A motion was made that the matter be referred to the Finance Committee, to find out about this claim of pro rata, which was not sufficiently clear. One speaker said that many mem? bers of the second congregation entertained considerable feeling against this matter, and would not contribute anything to the offertory, but let their contributions go in another channel. He classified the claim as preposterously absurd and really suicidal. Another speaker said it pleased the head of the church to lose sight of the fact that there was a second congregation, judging by appointments that had been made. The rector made some extremely sensible remarks with regard to the future work of the congregation. He was tired of this playing of things. If all things were done properly-therwas no need for help from the outside. Taxation must be representation. He spoke of the building at present used as a vestry, hoping that ere long the way would be clear to the erection of one stoiy of the tower. The motion to refer the matter of pro rata of running expenses to the Finance committee was then put and carried unanimously. The meeting then adjourned. The financial condition of the second congregation is excellent, its services are largely attended, the rector is popular with all classes, the Sunday school is largely increasing, and with the efficient officers elected at the meeting, the prospects for the ensuing year- - are most encouraging. Honolulu Arlon'a Hall. The cosy hall occupied by the Honolulu Arion society, is to receive some very handsome pictures, now being framed and prepared for hanging.

The Sydney Morning Herald of late date says: The San Francisco route is gaining steadily in popularity as to passenger traffic, though the amount of business done with San Francisco is not so large as it might be expected to have attained by the many years a steam service has existed.

Three others go to Europe on a tour, one to Japan as a missionary, under the American Board, and the rest remain on American soil. The prospects are good for a strong club for next year, and an increase of interest and usefulness. Hawaii is getting to be known and recognized as a factor of the university life. Birthday Party. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Parmelee, Beretania street, was the scene of a very pleasant gathering, Saturday afternoon, the occasion being the birthday anniversary of their daughter, Miss Lottie Parmelee. The interior of the house was profusely decorated with flowers and greenery. On the lawn, at the side of the house, was a temporary lanai, covered in with canvas (and decorated in admirable taste with flags, flowers and palm leaves. The affair took the form of an afternoon tea and was held in the lanai, where some forty or fifty young ladies who attended, were delightfully entertained by Mrs. Parmelee and her daughter. Refreshments of a most tempting nature were served and the occasion will long be remembered by those present. Miss Parmelee has a very wide circle of friends who will wish her many, many happy returns of the day. 3Iail Matters. The Postoffice dispatched on the Australia 4,923 letters and 1,378 packages of papers. This makes 12,724 letters and 3,638 packages of papers sent to the Coast on the last two steamers. The mail was promptly on board, the Australia sailing punctually at noon. A good deal of hard work has been done in the Postoffice during the past two days, in preparing the statistics for the Postal Union which has to be done every three years. The mail included letters and papers to forty-si- x different countries exclusive of the United States. The packages of letters and papers had to be done up seperate, weighed, reduced to grams, and bills for them made out. Robert Louis Stevenson. Mr. Robt. L. Stevenson, Mrs. Stev enson, and Mr. Lloyd Osbourne have left Sydney for a six-mont- cruise in the South Sea Islands in the sailing vessel Janet Nicoll. Mr. Stevenson's health was not good while he was in Australia. The novel, "The Wreckers," which he and Mr. Osbourne are preparing will be com menced in Scribner's Magazine in the fall, and it is said that it will have some reference to smuggling in the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Osbourne writes to Mr. H. F. Poor to say that it is probable they will visit Honolulu before finally making their home in Samoa. MTJBDEEEB! Charles Hiram, a well-know- n and Respected Hawaiian, Shot Through the Body. A South Sea Islander Named Lnl Does the Shooting and then Makes Ills Escape The l'ollce Make a Thorough Search, but as Vet Cannot Find the Vllllan. On Friday evening shortly before 9 o'clock a shot was heard in the direction of the barracks. A message a moment later from the Mutual Telephone Co.'s central office conveyed the information that a man had been shot An Advertiseb representative was quickly on the spot and soon found that the information was correct, and that a most foul deed had been committed. On the veranda of his house in rear of the back gate of the Palace, sat Charles Hiram, the King's coachman, with a bullet wound right through his body. In the employ of Hiram's household is a South Sea Island woman, who it is said is married or used to live with a South Sea Island man, named Lui. He did not treat her well, and since she had been liviDg at Hiram's, Lui used to be hanging around nearly every night trying to entice her away, but she would not go. He had threatened to shoot her if she did not go with him to one of the other islands. Not talking scarcely any other language but their own, it is difficult to get at the real trouble between them. Friday evening Lui mada his appearance outside of Hiram's house, and, as the natives there say, tlfere was another South Sea Islander with him dressed in white clothes. Lui they say wore dark clothes. There is a flight of steps leading up to Hiram's house, and he was standing half way up these when Lui came around. At the top of the steps, on a small veranda, stood a native. Lui wanted to know where the woman was, when Hiram ordered him to go off about his business. A second later the shot was heard. The bullet struck Hiram in the stomach, near the navel, went right through the body, coming out at the back, a little to the left, in almost a direct line. It went through the veranda door and struck the house making quite a dint in the wood. Mr. John Sullivan was driving along Palace Walk and saw the flash from the gun. Hiram noticed him and called out to him that he was shot, and for him to go at once for Dr. McGrew. He did so and the latter was soon by the side of the injured man who had gone up the steps and seated himself on the veranda. Dr. McGrew made an examination and found as above stated that poor Hiram had been abofc right through the body, and that he could not do much for him. Hiram was taken into the house and everything possible done to make him comfortable. Mr. Fred. Wundeuberg made himself very useful, getting ice and other things that were required. Hiram complained of pains in his stomach, and threw up flesh and blood. He told the doctor that he did not think he could live. As soon as Lui fired the shot he ran away, first throwing the gun into the road, where it was found later on and taken to the Station House. Tho bullet, of 58 calibre, was found on the veranda. The natives iu the yard say that Lui ran in a manka direction, and probably went through the alleyway past Junius Kaae's house and leading on to Beretania street. The sentry at the rear gate of the Palace says he saw two South Sea Islanders, one dressed in white and the other in dark clothes, run out of Hiram's yard directly after the shot was fired, go along the road a few steps and disappear in rear of the house. The police were notified, two quickly arriving, and at once made a search for Lui. Deputy-Marsh- al Hopkins was there and made a thorough investigation of the affair. The premises all around were thoroughly searched, also the palace grounds. The police went to the house where Lui generally lived but he was not to be found. This was at the corner of Queen and Richard streets, a number of South Sea Islanders living there. One man was taken to the Station house and questioned as to Lui's whereabouts, but nothing satisfactory could be obtained from him. Some suspicion was raised when one of the sergeants of the Household troops went to the South Sea Island quarters. He noticed a man in a perspiring condition, and a gnn hung tip in the room. Half an hour later when he went to the same place the man was there but not the gun. In a room in rear, however, two guns were found and taken to the Station house. This was the same man who was questioned at the Station house. The woman who was really the cause of the shooting was taken to the Station house and detained. Hiram's wife was at Koolau and was sent for immediately after the shooting. She, however, did not arrive to see him alive. Dr. McGrew gave not the slightest hope of Hiram's recovery, and he was right, for the unfortunate man, who suffered much pain, died at twenty minutes before two o'clock next morning. Much sympathy will be expressed in the community towards the deceased's family. Hiram, who was held in much respect among all classes, was a man of considerable means. The police have been on a strict lookout for the murderer, but up to three o'clock this morning had not found him. They are instructed to arrest any South Sea Islander they find around and take him to the Station House. EIGHT STORES BURNED. A Big Blaze on Hotel Street at Midnight Saturday Chas. Hall Loses His Life. The dread fire alarm rang out again jast before midnight Saturday, summoning the fire department to Hotel street, between Fort and Nuuanu streets. Between Horn's bakery and Gonsalves' brick building there are nine stores, and when the firemen arrived there eight of them were on fire. The fire started as near as can be found in the rear of a furniture store kept by a Portuguese, where was a room occupied by Chinese. The probability is that some of them were there smoking opium. Nothing definite can be learned. The eight stores were occupied as follows, commencing from Nuuanu street direction: W.Miller, cabinet maker; barber's shop, Portuguese; shoe store; barber's shop; Chinese coffee shop ; furniture store, Portuguese; Loo Joe, tailor; Wo Hop, coffee saloon. Next to the lat-le-r store is the building best known as Ramsey's grocery store. The fire spread with amazing rapidity and the flames were exceedingly fierce. The department responded promptly and soon No.'s 1, 2, 4 and China companies had streams on. The firemen did splendid work, and it is owing to their efforts that Mr. Horn's premises were saved. They are covered with galvanized iron which was a great protection. Some houses in Fowler's yard were saved by a number of trees being between them and the fire. Within twenty minutes of the alarm the department had the fire under control. The eight stores mentioned were burned so as to be useless. Unfortunately the fire was attended with the loss of life. Chas. Hall, at one time an express driver, who had two wooden legs, was burned to death. What remained of the body was found in a room over Miller's cabinet store. An inquest was held Sunday morning by coroner Chas. L. Hopkins and the following jury: H. Barber, N. P. Jacobson, A. Petrie, J. E. Gomes, J. H. Bruns, George Crampton, Jr., and M. E. Silva. Mei-deir- From the evidence of Manuel o it appears that about 11 o'clock Saturday night he put Hall to bed in the room in a badly intoxicated condition, and that was the last he saw of him. The jury returned a verdict that Hall came to hiB death accidentally, by being burned in the fire of Saturday night. ti ' Supreme Court. Monday, May 5. G. W. C. Jones vs. Samuel Norris. Assumpsit.
