The occasion was a gala one indeed, and was under the direction of the officers of the U. S. S. Abarenda, Captain Tilley commanding. An international aspect wwas lent to the affair by the presence of the German warship Cormeran, Captain unsmanin. The latter officer had invited all of the Amer- ican citizens at Apia to accompany him to Pago Pago, and a large number availed themselves of “the privilege. Governor Saft took an active part in the proceedings as well. About 1000 natives from other islands besides Pago Pago and vicinity The actual ceremony of the flag raising of the Secretary of the Navy by Captain Tilley: vere present. was preceded by the reatling of the treaty and the order Thereupon the native priests of Pago Pago conse- crated the flag before it was raised, performing a weird and wiique but thoroughly impressive ceremony. As the Stars and Stripes were .nfurled to the breeze and quickly hauled to the polehead by the ailors of the Abarenda, there belched forth from the ship's cannon a salute of twwenty-one guns, which was followed by a similar salute from the Cormoran. A native chorus from the London Mission sang “America” in English and added twwo verses in Samoan.

Spectal Correspondence of The Call, ONOLULU, April 27.—James Camp- bell, the millionaire and capitalist of Honolulu and San Jose, dead. San Franciscans will remember him as the man whose nerve and determination sent Winthrop to San Quentin, mes Campbell was one of those stal- tc cters who advertise the possi- bilities of the new world for men of cour- age, energy, perseverance and thrift. Born in Londonderry, Ireland, nearly elghty vears ago, he arrived at Lahaina in 1852 as the ship’s carpenter on one of the numerous whalers which then visited that port. He settled there and married Hannan Burla, who died some five or six years afterward, without issue, but leav- ing a_small property to the widower. In the sixties he commenced to climb the.rugged hill to prosperity by establish. ing the now famous Ploneer sugar plan- tation at Lahaina, working in the fields or in the mill as a common laborer, and using a_mule for the motive power for grlil‘.'lll;::. n t eightles Turton bought out Campbell for $500,000, and while Turton failed Campbell’s plle increased, until eventually he became the largest land owner in the country. The vast Honou- liuli ranch, upon which is the Ewa plan- tation (and Pearl Marbor), and through which the railrofid runs, was his. in Horolulu he owned improved real estate | of great value and had a large interest in the First American Bank of Hawaii. In California he also had large investments; including the ownership of the St. James Hotel at San Jose. It Is estimated that his estate will be valued in the nelghbor- hood of $3,000,000 at the very least. In 1879 James Campbell married Abi- gail Kualhelani Maipinepine (Bright), by whom he had eight_children, our of whom survive, the Misses Abigail and Alice, who are at Notre Dame Seminary, San Jose, and the Misses Muriel and Mary Beatrice, who are here. It may now announced that prior to Mr. Campbell's illness a marriage had been arranges between Miss Abigall Campbell, who graduates this year, and Prince David K akoa, and in due avap course of time, it is urderstood, the cere- mony will be solemnized. ¢ Mr. Campbell died late in the night of Saturday, the 2ist, and_was burled on Monday, the 23d. The funeral serviées were held at his beautiful residence on Emma street. The Right Re r. Al- fred Willlg, bishop of Honolulu, officiated, attended by Rev. Canon Kitcat, and a special chofr sang the funeral hymn. The ihterment was In the family vault i Neto mann Cemetery, and the pall bearers were Hon. Godfrey Brown, H. M. von Holt, Dr. Miner, E. 8.

According to the story told to the Grand Jury at the time Campbell was decoyed on Monday afternoon, August 4, to & lone- ly cottage, 4109 Callfornia’ street, and on entering was confronted by a masked man who, preuntlni n‘rlstnl. ordered him to throw up his hands. Realizing at once that he was the victim of a villainous _plot and tting his age, the old man dealt his versary a stunning blow, which sent him to the floor, firing as he fell. The bullet grazed Mr. Campbell's head, but he grappled with his man, se- cured the pistol and had managed to get partially out of the door, when he was struck ,on the head by Winthrop with a hammer or some other heavy instrument, and felled to the floor. He was then hand- cuffed and securely bound. Next he was lifted to a chalr. where. the officers of the Abarenda.

The route, especially Unter den Linden, was crowded from daybreak | with eager and most good-natured sight- seers. There were no disturbances, the police arrangements being comprehensive in enforecing order and preventing dan- gerous crowding. Arriving spectators | after 8 o'clock were excluded from the | route. which was doubiy flanked from the Siege Allee to the Brandenburg gate by the Berlin veterans' assoclations, many graybearded men wearing thé iron | cross.

He drove down Unter den Linden to the station, accompanied | by his brother, Prince Henry, who | wore the uniform of an Austrian| admiral. His Majesty was cheered by the crowds all the way. The train bear- ing Emperor Francis Joseph arrived The greetings be- tween the two Emperors were most cor- dial; the monarchs embracing and kiss- | ing each other on both cheeks.

One carriage contained Count Gulochow- ski, the Austrian imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs. and Count Van Szoegny- Marich, the Austrian Embassador to Ger- many, in the picturesque costume of a Hungarlan magnate. At the triumphal arch the procession halted and Mayor Kirchner delivered a speech of welcome. in which he referred to Emperor Francis Joseph as the “trusty ally of the first three rulers of the newly created German empire,” and as the general prince of peace, who had ceaselessly, zealously and successfully striven to preserve to the na- tions of the world the blessings of peace. The Austrian Emperor replied with a few conventional words, and the Mayor's ughter recited Wildenbruch’'s “Ode of Felcome” and presented a bouquet of flowers to Francis Joseph, who shook the young girl’s hand. thanking her. There was a loud outburst of cheering as the Emperors drove away short distance farther cortege passed several embassies, which were handsomely decorated. On the balcony of the Russian embassy sat a score of diplo- mats, to whom the Emperors smilingly peror William's eve met a large angled banner floating from the United States embassy and caught sight of the United States Embassador, Andrew C.

Reviews Three Regiments. Arrived in front of the castle, the Em. perors reviewed three of the finest Prus- sian regiments. Emperor Francis Joseph complimented Emperor William upon their appearance and then entered the palace, where the Empress and the Princesses were waiting to recefve him. The real hero of the day was the youth- ful Crown Prince, who followed his father’s carriage. The blooming youthful- ness of the Prince was advantageously set off by the dark uniform of the Guards which he wore.
