From Hawaii

Two dignitaries came into San Francisco last week from Honolulu. One was John Wingate Weeks, Secretary of War until last fall. He left the U. S. soon after a long and nearly, fatal illness, still a sick man. Accompanied by a party which included his wife, his bondhouse partner (Hornblower), his partner's wife, he went to South Africa, thence to Hawaii. Of the past he said that the climate and beauty of Hawaii even exceeded his recollection of 43 years ago. Of the future he said he had some farms in New Hampshire, "and I think I'll go there and work them."

The other arriving dignitary was Wallace Rider Farrington, Governor of Hawaii, laden with a political purpose. According to almost incredible despatches it was nothing less than to obtain the aid of the Administration for the entry of 20,000 Hawaiian-born Japanese into this country. He did not linger in California.
