a
Electric Light at the Plaza.
There was an impromp,u prize fight in
the Plaza last night. 1t was about 9 o'clock
when two young ladies attempted to walk
through the square, and were approached
by two young fellows who wanted to be
smart The Indies tried to avoid them, but
the two fresh" young men persisted in
dogging their footsteps.
At the Tenth and street exit the young
ladies encountered two more young men,
one of them, however, happened to be the
big brother of one of the young misses.
1t did not take her long to tell him of
what had happened, and in an equally
short space of time he interviewed the
"fresh" young men. One of the latter es-
sayed to stand on his dignity, and demanded
a square deal'-which was promptly
granted by the big brother. Both doffed
their coats, vests and collars and went at
it on one of the lawns.
Like the usual Christmas meIodrsma,
the big brother was victorious, and the
vanquished villains skunk of to Slinkyille.

trouble over a Hackman,s Fee.

Considerable commotion was caused in
front of the International Hotel last even
ing by the efforts of Shorty" Monaghan, q
hackman, to collect 81 from a stranger for
driving him from the depot. The latter
declared that the hsck-driver led him to
believe that his was the "hotel carriage" a
term often used TO mislead travellers un-
familiar with the ways of class of hack
men.
The stranger finally paid the dollar, but
it is said he warned the driver that the
latter would come to grief if he ever caught
him plotting hack in San Francisco.
Monaghan denied that he represented
himself as driving for any hotel.

TUESDAY afternoon the House
indefinitely postponed the bill
changing the name of the Insane
Asylum " to " Hawaiian Hospital u
The bill was introduced in the in
terest of humanity and kindly feel
ing. 1t cannot be denied that the
name Insane Asylum is one of re-
pulsive even hideous associations,
1t is associated with the period
when the insane and the criminal
were treated alike. and when il
was not known or felt that these
unfortunates were sick. AS Rep
Nawahi said, these people are not
sick, they are crazy. Noble Wide
mann said the change of name was
n "mere sentiment" True, and sc
are most of the things which give
dignity and seriousness to our lives
The summary way in which the
House disposed of the bill evinced
a want of delicacy and good feel
ing. AS matter of fact the vote
was piece of trucking to the
native members.

The communication of the chief
OF the Fire Department to Mr..
Macfarlane which was read by that
gentleman in the House and pub
lished herewith, explains itself.
The more the report of the
Finance Committee is probed the
worse it appears. The committee
may eventually come to the con-
clusion that fair play and honest
above-board work pay but they
have worked on the opposite prin-
ciple so far. The Russian secret
service method of springing
charges on a man unawares, and
convicting him before he even
hears that there is a charge made,
seems to have been their model.
They will find that there is enough
of the Anglo. Saxon sense of de-
cency and fair play in this ccm-
munity to condemn this style of
conducting business, even if the
object is the laudable desire to put
political opponent in a hole.

10 another committee. The road has no |
more forest TO pass through, except what
belongs to the Government. | think the
money advanced by merchants should
be paid, but the items should be sepa-
rated. | move the item pass as IN the
bill, $55 900.
Noble Burchardt said there was OF
course no doubt that landowners had
right to cut wood, but in doing so the
landowners Tor landowner was acting
contrary TO the wishes OF the community
and pressure could be brought to bear on
him.
Minister Spencer thought the road
could be finished for $50 900. He would
suggest that the Minister OF the Interior
be instructed to stop the destruction OF
the forest.
Noble Baldwin thought the Finance
Committee were mistaken in their esti-
mate of cost The special committee
had estimated very carefully on the basis
of the cost of the road actually COM
pleted. The road was costing more than
was expected There were various ex-
plantations AS for the flooding, this had
been very unusual year. The road was
better road than was originally in
tended. Then good service was ex-
pected from road engine which it was
supposed would crush down the earth
leaving very little to debut that had
proved failure. AS to the $4,000, |
think the Minister OF the Interior should
have stopped when the appropriation
was exhausted. But he did not pledge
the credit. of the country as the commit
tee say. He merely agreed to ask for an
appropriation. Those who advanced the
| money understood it so. There was no
| law forbidding the Minister to do what
he did 1t should be considered as
though it were for work still to be done
or like the Peter Lee road already built,
which the Government proposes to pur-
chase. AS to whether money has been
wasted, l cannot say, not having any
facts. If it can be finished cheaper, l
should be glad, but the road should be a
| good one.
Noble Muller said a great deal OF
money had been spent on the road to
open up the private lands OF the brother
| in-law of the exMinister, Mr.. Shipman.
| He would like to know whether the Gov
vernment had good and sufficient title
| to that part OF the road passing through
| Mr.. Shipman's land.
Rep. Nawahi said the road passed over
/ only two lands--a Crown land and Mr..
Shipmans. The end of the road toward
the Volcano was on Crown land.
