BERETANlA STREET.
ADJOURNED MEETING OF RESIDENTS,
ETC, ETC.

This morning an adjourned meet
ing of the residents and property
owners OF Beretania street, east of
Alapal, was held at the Chamber of
Commerce room. The attendance
was very good.
MIR. G. NJ. Cooke presided, and
said the first thing was to hear the
report of the committee.
Mr.. j. b. Atherton said the COM
mittee called on the Minister of the
Interior and found him ready to
give any information. His Excel
lency said that when the present
government came into power, plan
was laid out with regard to the re-
pairing of roads in Honolulu. They
had worked on that line until they
had made good road from the Eva
side of the town to Waikiki, and
from Queen up Nuuauu to the Sec
ond bridge. Now they had under
taken the repair # Fort up to Kukui
street, ,and would then work on Nuu-
anu. The next in order would be
Beretania street from the corner of
Nuuanu to Punahou. The work
would be pushed along rapidly, in
fact, grading had already commence
ed. He hoped to be able to COM
pie the work, though there was
ouly $4,000 left of the appropriation
for merchandising, and $4,000 uneX-
pended road tax. The railroad track
now on Beretania street was only a
temporary one. Arrangements had
been agreed upon between the Gov
ernment and Mr.. Gribble for the
former to use the latters track during
certain hours of the day for bring
ing in material from the quarry.
These arrangements had to be con-
firmed by the company in London.
There would be no travel direct
across the city with locomotive.
The Tramways Company had asked
permission of the Government TO
use smokeless and noiseless loco
motive, nearly five hundred of which
are used with great success in
various parts of England. 1t did
It's work without frightening horses.
Considerable discussion then fol-
lowed among those present, until
finally motion was made and car
ried unanimously that the same COM
mittee again wait upon the Minister
of Interior and ask him to promise
that the present railroad track be
removed within six months, or legal
measures will be taken.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
w. M. Giffard and S. B. Rose was
appointed to wait on the President
of the Board of Education, and ask
that a school house be erected on
the vacant lot on Beretania street,
belonging to the Board.
The meeting then adjourned, sub
| ject to the call of the committee,

Then comes an underhnnded flinc

Then comes an underhanded fling
at the captain: 1.-THE responsibility
Of owners of vessels for the acts Of
their captains etc, ets." My uncau-
tious child, you either know more
than anybody else or not enough.
Can you swear that in this particular
case it was the captain whom this
opium belonged to2 If you can are
you aware that you have conspired
with the Government to let the lesser
fish go to catch the whale' If you
cannot my brother, then to you be-
longs the honor to lead the vanguard
of Journalistic Vermin," because
you have descended to slander?
The opium being found in the
after part of the vessel gives no
man the right to presume" that
the captain is guilty of this act.
There is not man on board but has
free access TO that part of the ship
if he so choose.
No doubt the editor of the "P.
G. A" has read of the late little
episode of an American steamer in
Hayti. That vessel was in my opin-
ion rightfully seized and for a
graver offence too than having opium
on board, yet the U. S. Government
took her in defiance of all Haytian
protest, This was moreover under
the halfhearted policy of Bayard.
Blaine will never allow the Hawaiian
Government to seize vessel under
any such slim pretence as the law
is in the case of the &c. d. Bry-
ant" Therefore l repeat, repeal
that law for goodness sake!
Proud to be classed among the
"curiously noticed incapables" of
the "P. G. A."

Ten Million Francs.
BRUSSELS, June 2Sth.-At the opening of
yesterdays session of the Chamber of Rep
Tesentatives NJ. Bernaert, Minister of FL
nance, presented a bill authorizing the
Government to participate, by means of
public subscriptions, in the construction of
the Congo railway. The bill is in con-
tOTmity with information concerning the
Governments intention which was first
made public in the European editions OF
the Herald.
1t authorizes the Belgian Government TO
subscribe to the amount of 10, 900 600 francs
to the capital of the company, represented
by 20 900 preferred shares of 500 francs
each, and yielding in actual interest at the
rate of 81 per cent to be redeemed within
a space OF ninety-nine years.
The report acc mpanying the bill sets
forth that the present state of things in
Congo is such as to give every possible en-
enlargement to capitalists TO embark in
the enterprise; that public peace is assured
in the country; that its commerce is
rapidly developing, and that the proposed
railway will render the country flourish
ing. 1t is also added that the population
has increased enormously, and that the
railway has become an imperative ne
cessity.
The bill contains provision that at least
90 per cent. of the rolling stock and mate
rial used in the construction, operation and
maintenance of the road shall be purchased
in Belgium. The debate on the bill will
take place next week, and, according to all
that can be gathered on the subject, the
Chamber appears to be disposed to vote in
in favor of it.

Her Engagement to the Earl of Fife
Formally Announced.
LONDON, June 2Sth-There was but one
topic of discussion in the clubs Yesterday
it was the betrothal of Princess Louise Vic
toria Alexander Dagmar of Wales. eldest
daughter of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, to Earl Fife. Rumor for long
time past has been busy in clubdom with
the possibility of such a match What
gave particular strength TO the possibility
of such an alliance lay in the fact that the
report was most credited by those about the
Prince.
Thursday afternoon the Queen formally
gave consent to the union. The Prince of
Wales is the most popular gentleman in
the United Kingdom, and the Princess
alone vies with him in the affections of the
people. When it became known that the
hand of thsir eldest daughter was to be
conferred upon one of the most popular
peers in the United Kingdom, the Prince
and Princess of Wales were simply and
purely raised into a position of popular
dedication. Princess Louise has in her
short career won universal popularity.
Like all royal PriDcesses, she always has
been troubled with shyness, but not more
so than might be expected from young
ladies not long out in the world But

modesty surrounding her have found in
her charming womanly nature a fund of
intelligence and good share of her moth
ers remarkably charming manner and in
teresting, gentle nature.
She has a very pretty figure is OF about
middle size, and has q face full of Cbarac-
ter. She was born in Marlborough House
February 20, 1867.
Earl Fife, who is 40 years old, has been
for many years a close friend of the Prince
ana Princess. Everybody knows him and
knows well of him. He is an exemplary
model of British aristocracy, is the sixth
Earl of Fife, but was peer of the United
Kingdom in 1885.
