A FREE PORT WANTED.

Quebec's Board of Trade Petition the Do
minion Government for Such Law.
QUEBEC, April 1.-THE Board of Trade has
sent petition to the Dominion Governments
asking that Quebec be made a free port.
The petition sets forth that q tax of three
cents per ton is levied for the maintenan ce
of the river police, and two cents per ton for
sick mariners dues The imposition of these
taxes has provoked reprisals on the part of
the United States, which levies three cents
a ton on all vessels coming from Canada,
even from the maritime provinces.
If this tax were abolished in Quebec, the
Board is satisfied that the United States
would exempt Canadian vessels as it did
last year in the case OF those of the British
Colony of Tobago.

THE WATER SUPPLY.
Honolulu is in the Height of
Another Drought. -

That portion of the city mauka
of King street was without water
yesterday afternoon after 4 o'clock,
caused by the lower reservoir run
ming dry. Mr.. J. c. White, Super
intendent of the Water Works, was
seen last night, and stated that at
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon there
were IS pounds of pressure at the
Electric Light Station, and during
the afternoon it steadily declined,
until about 4 o'clock, when not a
single pound was registered. Mr..
White expects a repetition of last
years drought, and expressed the
opinion that unless we have some
rain soon, the experience Of yester-
day afternoon will be a common
one for the district mentioned.
He made a wise suggestion
which should be acted on by every
housewife it is for people living
mauka of King street to store
enough water in the morning to
last through the day.
The wisdom Of the suggestion
will be seen when one considers
that only one million gallons OF
water were expected to be collected
last night and that it takes three
million gallons to supply the city.
Store water in the morning, un'
less your dinner can be prepared
without that common necessity
