IT WAS A MIOMTV FEAST, Hospitality of Honolulu to Three thousand Boys In blue. The luau given to the soldier boys es terday will live long in their memories II what they say ia to be believed. Nev er in ins History 01 in is ctiy tiss sucb a display of good feeling been shown ss tbe reception tendered Iho boys in blue. The ladles who had charge of the feast have everything to be i uud of In the way It waa conducted, and he J it not been for them the dinner would have been a suny affsir indeed. The helj they expected did not uisterislue and the ladies themselves had to clear off the tables and wash the dishes. The day began when Ihe soldiers ar elysd at the grounds about 11;30, from when the fesst was In progress aud kept up. till 5:30. During the whole lime there was music either by tbo Uovern mcnt band or the California band. Kpe del mention must be made of the songs by the Ksrnebameba boys which were eagerly listened to and loudly applauded by tbe visitors. The boys by their orderly behavior and gentlemanly bearing have made a name for themselves in tbe town, and the Islands have.1000 missionaries who will work for them with the ohioel of anneaation. AH day long the rooms of the House of ItepreeenUtlvee and tbe Senate in the Executive building were croaded with men writing letters home. Those who could not find room at the desks and table were stretched ont on Ithe floor of the lanai writing. Many of the men after a ride to Waik Iki came back to the grounds to eat again, Nearly everyone of them could be seen carrying either a cocosnut, a pineapple or some other fruit on their way back to tbe ships. On their arrival at the boats they were ordered to throw a ay what ever fruit they bad. They did so but but threw it sll on the docks of the ves sels, where it was eagerly snatched up by companions and secreted. So ended the day. Tbo committee of ladies were tired but gratified. Lyeuing Bulletin. Honolulu. Honlolulu Turned Over to the Boys In Blue. List Sundsy foreooou the cruiter Charleston came into this pott, from Ssn Francisco. There could be no doubt that her welcome was a hearty one, as it waa boisterous. The coarse-throated whittle of tbe L'lectric Light Works an nounced the sighting of the warship about the time devout people were on their wsy to church, Then there waa a rush for the waterfront, and as many of the reception committee of ooe hundred as got there in half an hour, weot out on the island steamer W. G. Hall to meet tbe cruiser. Whistles were blown, flags were Down, aod tbe newspaper offices breaking away trom custom and restraint, issued special editions Sunday afternoon, giving the latest war uews brought by the Charleston. Wednesday afternoon, late, the trans port sttamsrs Australia, City of Peking and City oi Sydney arrived at Honolulu. It seems as though the entire populace was at the docks to welcome the ships and tue nearly 3000 troopj (hey carried. In brief, so hearty has been tbe welcome to tbe boys in blue, that the entire town was tbeirs for the time being, street care, backs, bicycles, soda water, fruit, and anything and everything in the way of refreshments baa beeu freely given to tbe boys without price. Yesterday they were feasted at tbe palace grounds, by the committee having that of the enter tainment in charge. Tbey could ask no beatier reception the town Las been theirs. A startling report got out yesterday that a half-Spanish volunteer on tbe Peking was caught laying a fue to tbe ship's magazine, in which is 400 tons of ammunition. In tbe evening, however, tbe report was declared by several of the military men to be a hoax. It true the culprit will probably be shot or hanged as soon as the ship gets well to sea.

The Oregon Fational Guard will be re organized and placed on a war looting at once. Orders to that effect were iseued yes terday by Adjutant-General Tutlle by di rection of the commander-in-chief. The orders are as follows : The Oregon National Guard, pursuant to G. O. No. 13 c. s., this office, consists of four independent organisations, as fol lows; "llatterv A, troop C, and separate com panic! A and K. The reorganization of the Oregou Na tional Guard, as authorized by the mili tary board, contemplates for tbe iufantry one regimeut, to cousist of three battal ions, each of four compauies, the com panies to have a tuibitnum enlisted strength of 50 sod a maximum of 72 in peaco, and in war a insxiiuuui uf 100 or such number as may be'prescribed by the war department lor the voluutcer army, to bo designated Third regiment, Oregon National Guard.

Ifeprcssntaiive, on Jone 1Mb, t09, In favor of the reolut ion for the Annus tion ui Hawaii, Hon. Tho. H. Tongiis paid the lolloa ing tribute lo tbt West: There is another subject lo whl b I desire to call attention for a moment I bavs said that tbe development of ihls nation baa scarcely begun, that bereeter prise are but In their Infancy. Tbe pos sibilities for enormous rxpsnsion lie la the West, and provisions slmild be made for expsnding industries and in creasing productions snre fo corue . Tbe people of East know little of either the poesibilites, ihe resources, or tbe people of the West. The fertility of our soil, Ihe wealtn ot oar forests, the extent of our domain, tbe enterprise and intelli gence of our people are not known in tbe East. Our boo Dill ess prairies, onr magnificent for eels, onr fast mineral wealth, the bealtbfuloess aud salubrity of our climate escape yoor notice. Onr people are bat little better onderstcod. The pioneer men and women who set tled the West were strong and ragged In health as in charactor, fall of esergy, coarageoas in enterprise, tbougbttnl, and ambitious. The people of ihe West are bound but little by ancient prejudices. They look little to tbe past; rather lo tbe present and the future . Tbey prefer yourself to your ancestry. Tbey csre little for wbat you bsve been or for wbat yon possess, but much for what yon are and what yoo can do. In tbe West honest work has never ceased to be honorable. 'With bcr ragged people tbe sweat of labor is a kingly crown. Wealth and position earned by honest toil and laudable en deavor are esteemed more thsn those ac quired by tbe toil and effort ot others. As in tbe coming century tbe great de velopment of the Old World will be on the eastern shores ot Asia, so tbe greater growth aod development of the New World will be on the shores of the Pacific. It will be in a country of magnificent scenery, where the tourist snd the scien tist find perpetual delight; where tbe husbandman never cultivates tbe soil or tends his flocks in vaio ; where snow-cap. ped mountains surpass the esele in its flight ; where the wealth of forests Is in exhaustible, and tbe valleys exceed in richness the golden sands of Africa; where neither the strength nor energy of man or beauty of woman is destroyed by inter 'e cb illy blasts or tbe fierce heat of smummer suns; where cyclones snd sunstrokes alike srs unknown; where no linget ing feyers wesr oat tbe life; where men are brave and strong aud maidens fair, and all are instinct with life and healh and happiness ; where every breeze colors tbe cheek, nervee tbe arm, and clears tbe brain. , It is Ibere, Mr. Speaker, where in future years w ill be the center of wealth and commerce and power of this Govern ment. As tbe Old World energies are developing and expanding in Asia, as new avenues of trade and commerce ate opened op there, and, as in our own land, "westward the star of empire takes its way, " the Pacific Ocean will rival tbe Atlantic iu tbe ships that plow its waters. Tbe white wings of commerce to tbe west of us will equal those to Ihe east. Great ports, where our immense pro ductive interests find their outlet, great ports ot export, will be not only on At lantic, but on tbe Pacific. They will be at San Francisco and -at Portland and Tacoma and Seattle. We must have room to expand and develop our energies snd a market for our productions. Tbe Hawaiian Islands must not be in the possession of commercial rivals or powerful enemies. Our opportunities have come now. This is the "tide in theatfaira" of our nation which, "if taken at its flood, will lead to fortune " and fame and wealth and commercial power. We must not let tbe opportunity slip by us. We mast sieze it and improve it be fore it is too late. In every harbor of the Philippine Islands, in every port 0 Hawaii, upon Ihe battlements of Puerto Rico, and upou vast fleets of commercial ships that traverse the waters of the Pa cific, and through a Nicaragua Canal, to be constructed by this Government, must aud, as I believe, wilt float in tri umph the flag for which Dewey con quered, for which llobson faced a Spanish dungeon, and for which Bagley sleeps in a hero's grave.
