Brown's Walplo Place Ewa Plantation and New Pumping Station Visited. It was a little after 7:30 when tbe special train bearing a distinguished party guests of tbe Oabu Railway and Inter-Island bleamsbip Companies left tbe Honolulu depot. Altbougb tbe Bulletin's representative was at the depot nearly half an boar in advance of time Senator Morgan was ahead of him, being quickly followed by Captain Nichols of the Bennington. When the train pulled out there were on board Senator Morgan, Representatives Cannon, Berry, Tawney and Laudouslager, President Dole, Minister Hatch, Admiral Miller, Attorney General Smith, Minister King, Consul-General Haywood, Captains Dyer of the Philadelphia and Nichols of the Bennington, ex-U. S.

Consul General Mclvor, Collector General McStocker, Postmaster-General Oat, Senators Baldwin and W. C. Wilder, Chief Justice Judd, Lieutenants Andrews nnd Rogers of the Admiral's stuff, Professor Alexander, Rev. Dr. Bishop, F.

8. Dodge of the Survey Department, O.H.EIuegel, James B. Castle, J. J. Williams, Mr.

SMckney, Mr. Small of Balfour, Guthrie Mr. Boe and representatives of tbe Advertiser, Star and Bulletin. Manager Dillingham of tbe Oabu Railway Company and Vice President John Ena of the 'Inter-Island Company were in charge of the excursion and spared no efforts fo'r the comfort of the guests. A quick run was made down to tbe landing of Ah Id's rice mill, where by tbe time the party had reaohed the wharf the steamer Ka-ena arrived.

The Bonnington's launch and cutter in uso in tbe survey of tbe harbor now going on were also at the wharf. Cap tain Parker, who has an intricato knowledge of Pearl barbor, was in command of the steamor aud Ke-liipe, an old boatsteeror for King Kalakaua in the days when he used to havo fishing parties in the lochs, at the helm. The Bonuiug-ton and Land Office survey maps of tbe lochs were spread out for tho general edification and tbe course of tbe vessel easily followed aronnd the east loch. About an hoar was spent in going round this sbeot of water aud then tbe Kaena was headed for the main channel. Here tbe interest of tbe Congressional party beoame more intense, for they were approaobiug the bar for the widening and deep eniog of which tbe United States Congress may be asked for a big appropriation next ypar.

Cou-greesman Cannon stood up on the rail and holding on to a rope got a clear view of everything. Congressman Berry was seated forward with President Dole, while Senator Morgan was closo by with Frank Dodge and his ohart. Con-" gressman Tawney, was on the hurricane deck with Captain Porker, while Congressman Laudeuslager looked over Senator Morgan's shoulder. When tho bar was reach od tho steamer's speed was slacked and soundings wero taken by Captain Parker until it was crossed. Tbe bar at tbe mouth of Pearl harbor is some fifteen huudred feet across and here is tbe only shallow water to be contended against.

Following are the soundings takon yesterday in their ordor as the Kaena, drawing 1 feet, passed over the bar from the inside, reduced frum fathoms to feet: 42, 21, 21, 18, 18, 15. 15, 12, 10J, 12, 12, 10J 30. The Kaena was iheu headed out to sea far enough to show tho landmarks by which the entrance to tho channel is known and then the return trip was nmdo. Objects of interest at the mouth of the channel, such as Quoen Emma's old place, Dow- sett's snlt works and fish pond, wore pointed out. Tho vessol then steamed into tho west loch, wbpro Admiral Walker, in his roport, says the United States Navy Yard and dry dook must bo located.

As the exact silo was reached tho iuforcst of tho visitors again became more keen, especially when it was explained that anywhere along the banks a straight-trjgo might bo set up aud the water found to bo sixty foot deep'. It was acknowledged by all that Admiral Walker's proposed dry-dock nito could. not be improved on. On all sides were heard expi fusions of surprise and admiration at tho extent of the locb aud depth of water as shown on the charts. No soundings were made on tho trip except at the bar, as tho harbor has been so thoroughly surveyed by the Vandalis, Admiral Walker's and the pro sent Bennington expeditions that thoy were unneceisary.

Tho land proposed to be used for navy yard purposes was pointed out to the visitors, who kept all tho bystanders busy answering questions. Ford's island was next visited and the large fish pond at the head of the loch after which steam was pat on and the return trip to the Healani lauding made. This was reaohed a few minutes after noon, the party having been steaming over tho lochs of Pearl Harbor for some three hours and a half at a speed of about eight miles an hour. Being asked for his opinion of Pearl Harbor now that he had seen it, Congressman Cannon said: "I am glad to have taken this trip. In'no other way could I have gained a proper conception of the magnitude or Pearl Harbor, and there is no doubt that it is admirably fitted for tbe purposo to which it has been ceded to tbo United States, Leaving tho annexation question aside Pearl Harbor belongs to the 'United States.

It is ours now and I con eider we have paid for it in free sugat many times over. The difficulty at tho bar is ax very small matter to my view. It is simply a matter of dredging a cer tain numbor of cubio feet at so much per yard. Whether the United-States can afford to take up the work of turning this harbor into a naval station at tho pro-sent time is one that must be decided by national exigencies. You know we have rivers and harbors at home that need improving just as much as Pearl Harbor.

There is no doubt a naval station here would be of great value to tbo United States in time of war, as the entrance caa be easily fortified. I should like to think over what I bave seen today before saying more on tbe subject." Congressman Tawney was aim- ly delighted with the harbor. aid be: "With a nve million dollar appropriation from the United States to commeuco with, there would soon bo a oity tho shores of Pearl Harbor as large as Honolulu, while that city would grow to three or fouftimoa its size. A naval station here would be a great thing for the islands and I believe for the United States as well." Senator Morgan said that what ho had seen on tho trip only raado the views' he already held more positive, while Congressmen Lau-deuslager and Berry wore both loud in their praises of tho natural advantages of Pearl Harbor. A Hhort walk from the boat landing brought the party to tbo special train, with tbo party of guests who came to partiotpato in tho luau at Mrs.

0. A. Brown's place at Waipio, and in a few minutes more the two parties wore seated in the sbado of the big grovo of trees, under which an awning nnd been spread and tables laid.with all kinds of tempting delicacies, purely and cooked in Hawaiian stylo; Hero Mr. Uatlou took tbo mem hers of Congress aside and showed them an elaborate map of the land adjoining Pearl Harbor, and especially that portion of it piok-ed out by Admiral Walker for tbo proposed naval station, compris ing somo two huudred acres in extent. This, Mr.

Ballou explain ed, would be deeded to tho United States for tho consideration of one dollar, provided tho channel was dredged out within two years. Mr. Ballou then described all the adjacent lands, giving the names of tho owners, value of tho laud, both as now asked and as returned for taxation purposes, 'lbe delegation wero much intoreated in iur. uanout) statements, as they had jeou led to believe that the Unitod States would ilmvo to pay exorbitant figures for land in the vicinitv of the barbor. They wore also informed that an agreement for the salo of the 200 acres required for tho naval station for the sum of one dollar was on file with the Secretary of tho Navy at' Washington.

There were about 100 peoplo in tbe second party, promiuont among whom wero Mrs. Mrs. Damon, Misses Morgan, Miss Berry, Mrs. Loudonslager, Attor ney General and Mrs. W.O.Smith," Colonel and Mrs Fisher, Colonel and Mrs Soper, Major and Mrs MoLeod, Marshal and Mrs Drown, Mr and Mrs Tenney, Mr and Mrs Lansing, Senator and Mrs A McCaudlesB, Mr and Mrs Damon, Mr and Mrs Robert Lowers, Mr ond Mrs Castle, Mr and Mrs Lowrey, Mrs Wilder, Miss Helen Wilder, MrB Dovener, Mrs Wight, Miss Loud, Judgo Perry, Messrs.

A Low, Atherton and A Kennedy. Hon Paul Neumann, Dr Herbert and a few others arriving on a later train. Tho head of the table was taken by Senator Morguu and Mrs Dole, President Dole escorting Miss Berry to a seat near, and the rest of the party taking seats indiscriminately, tbo word having been paused that no formalities were to be observed. Congressman Cannon found himself in the midBt of a group of missionaries, one of whom told A storv of bow lands U8ed to be acqaired in tbe islands in the olden time, when it was customary to acquire title by eating tbe former proprie tor, but tbat did not affect tbe Congressman's enjoyment of roast pig, whioh be thought was tbo best of all tbe delicacies provided, though it was found at the oIobo tbat thero were veiy few of the, native dishes ho had not tasted. After all had eatbn their fill of the bountiful repast provided by Mrs.

Brown and hor uumorouB assistants an hour was spent in strolling about the grounds and listeniug to tho music of a native band. This proved a great attrao tiou to Morgan and tho Congressment and while the Sena tor was enjoying the J. J. Willitfms crept up on him and photographed him, lois and all, without his being aware of it. Mr.

Williams also obtained a number of excellent views during tbe day. Unfortunately Mra. Dovener was taken ill just before the luuu commenced and had to be carried into Mrs. Brown's house. At first it was thought she had only fainted but later on she bad several opiloptic fits.

Dr. Herbert was telephoned for and just catching a train arrived about an hour after. Under his ministrations Mrs. Dovoner recovered sufficiently to bo takon to town in tho next train. Congressman Berry and his' daughter were much concerned over the lady's illness.

Ho said to the Bulletin representative: "Mrs. Dovener is tho wife of tbe Congressman from West Virginia, a particular friend. He was with us iu San Frauoisco and placed his wife in my ohar'go daring this trip. Mr. Dovener was particularly anxious for hor to come to tho islands, as ho thought the sea voyage would benefit her.

I hope hor illness will uot preveut hor goiug back with us tomorrow." At 3 o'clock tho Congressional party again boarded their spocial train and wero takon to Ewa, whoro Manager Lowrio took chargo of the party on a tour by rail through tho canefiulds of tho Ewa plantation. A stop was raado at the now pumping station, tho pumps of whioh wore in actual operation. Their magnitudo was a eourco of wonder to tho visitors. Briefly stated thoro aro i two pumping engines and pumps, oaoh of 350 horse power and having a combined pumping capacity of 22,000,000 gallous of water daily, obtainod from twolvn artesian wells. Steam is obtained from two immense boilers, only ouo of which was iu operation yestorday.

This pumping station as it stands, including tho boring of tho wells, cost tho plantation about 8120,000. It furnishes about ono half of tho water usod for irrigating the plantation. Tho noxt stopping placo was about a mile from the pumping station, where tho party aligitod to soo the water come out from tho pipes into tho ditch. Congroas-man'Caunon was tho only or)e of the party to taste tho wator, tho other Congressmen saying they wero not judges of its quality. Mr.

Cannon expected to fiud it brackish but was agreeably disappointed to find it was uot so.i Tho party then returned to tho Ewa mill, it being too late to visit the pumping station of tho now Oahu plantation, had boon intended. In going through the mill, the throe Congressmen (Senator Morgan aud Con gressman JLmudemlagor wero loft at Waipio aud returned to tho oity on tho early train) wero gratified to nnd that every piece ot machinery iu it was of Amorican manufacture, and still moro so when thoy found that noarly everything used on tbo plantation was American, evon to a pile of red briok standing against the mill. The rido through the" plantation naturally led to tho discussion-of the labor question. Secretary E. D.

Tenney of tho Ewa Company explained minutely tho proposed profit sharing system it is hoped to introduce with white labor to be furnished by Commissioner Fitzgerald of California, while Manager Lowrie gave all needed details with recard to Asiatic labor. The three members of CougroBs wore uuanimouB in advising against tbo importation of negro labor, Mr. Berry especially holding tbat it would prove worthless in' Hawaiian conefiolds, Asked for an expression of opiuion of this country from bis observations of the past week, Congressman Berry said: "I am simply delighted with tbo country aud its peoplo I believe iu what I say I voice tho sentiments of thoso who camo with me. 1 thought I was coming to a foreign land but I realize I bavo nover left Aiuorica. I cannot boo any difference.

Your cities are American, your sympathies American ana your institutions Amorican. I like tho country and I like tbe people in it, especially the natives. I have taken pains to meet with them and converso with them, to ascertain their feelings on the annexation matter. I believe I realize just how they feel in losing their couutry but I havo ou-deavored to mako tbem understand that they will bo bettor off with annexation than without. I have put tho question to mauy of them today, to whioh they preferred to be annexed, the United States or Japan, and the auBwer has been given readily for the former.

There, is ouly one future for thoso islands, that is annexation, to-, tbe United States or a gradual bat final absorption by the Japanese, and Japan shall never havo them whilo I havo a voico in Congross." "What aro our prospects for annexation asked tho Bulletin representative. "I beliovo you will get it and that very Boon," answered Mr, Berry. It was 20 minutes to 7 o'clock when tho special train reached Honolulu on tho return, and thoso who had boeu Mr. Dillingham's guests crowded arouudliim Lto thank him for a day of an alloyed pleasure before departing for their several homes. Boforo giving your ordor for a portrait, soo what King Bros, havo to show in crayon enlargements and judgo for yourself whothor thoy can givo you the bost valao for yoar money or not.
