A NEW PUMPING PLANT
PLAN OF SUPERINTENDENT OF
WATER WORKS BROWN.
New Well and station at the Barracks
To Use the Executive Grounds
weIl-ReservOirs.

Andrew Brown, Superintendent OF
Water Works, is devising plan to insure
"a supply from the mains during the
prospective or other seasons OF drouth.
There is now pumping plant at Ma
kiki. When necessary it sends from an
artcsian well into the mains l,125, 900
gallons of water day. The city con-
sumes altogether about 5000, 900 gallons.
The main source OF supply is the reser-
voirs in Nuuanu valley. There is now
an artesian well in the yard of the
Executive building, not far from the
barracks. 1t is Il seven inch bore and
flows about the same as the Makiki
well.
1t is proposed by Mr.. Brown that
ten-inch well be drilled on the barracks
lot. Then what is wanted is a pumping
plant to handle the output OF the two
wells. The pair would yield about
2 800 900 gallons day. The well on the
Executive Building premises sends water
twenty feet above the surface, and such
wells may be had almost anywhere for
the boring. The depth is about 500
| feet, and the cost about 81 foot. The
! McCandless combination has the only
boring outfit on the Islands. Mr.. Brown
is for a pumping plant that would be
ample for some time and might be en-
larged Oh demand. 1t should be
OF improved machinery in a good
building. The cost OF mainten-
ance would not be great. Expense
would be an engineer and fireman few
months Of the dry season. To increase
/ the pressure it will be necessary to en-
large some of the mains. The superin-
tendent is campaigning for an appropri-
alton to carry out his present plans.
"What do you think Of the reservoir
supply idea as advanced by the STAR last
EVENING"" was asked OF Mr.. Brown.
| ''The value OF the suggestion is self
evident. In time we must do something
OF that sort. There is an excellent nat
ural basin up in the mountains, and
with dam we could save more than
enough water. Several hydraulic en-
gineers have visited the basin. All Of
them sand IT once that there would be
no difficulty in using it. There are
springs in the hills that will purify the
reservoir supply. The scheme would
take good deal of money. Then, with
added pressure, we would require a new
system OF mains. We must, in all like
lihood, come to this in time. 1t will
cost money, but nearly every water
system in the world is a paying invest
ment."

coon WILL TO FREE HAWAII
Recent Favorable Action Of the OH,
Legislative Assembly.

We copy these paragraphs from the
report OF Legislative proceedings in the
Ohio Assembly ON February 10Th and
10th.
As an offset to the McCreary resolu-
ton whitewashing the Cleveland
Gresham Hawaiian policy which Con-
gr,iss adopted last week, Major Palmer,
the blind member from Cuyahoga, intro
duced the following, which went over
under the rules:
ResOlred, That as American citizens
and rs representatives of free people,
we rejoice in the triumph OF Christian
civilization and OF republican ideas
achieved by the enlightened citizens of
| Hawaii over semi-heathen and blood
| thirsty Queen.
ReSolred, That our heartfelt thanks
are extended to Hon. John l.. Stevens
for his patriotic and statesmanlike con-
duct rs American MiDister to Honolulu
during the trying period OF transition
from the rule of corrupt and scandal
breeding monarchy to II government
based upon liberal principles.
Resolved, That we extend to Presi-
dent Dole and his associates in the pres
ent Hawaiian Government our congrat-
ulations on their escape from the machi-
nations OF alien spies and local con-
spirators, and on the completion of a
year OF successful administration of the
affairs of that country in which the peo-
Pile Of the United States have an inter-
est paramount to that of any other
country.
When Major Palmer's Hawaiian reso-
| luton came up in the House YESTERDAY
/ Mr. Wipp from, m 81.
offered substitute which caused a
smile. The Palmer resolution sought to
extend congratulations to President Dole
of Hawaii on the anniversary of the Pro-
yisonal Government. In SO doing, how
ever, it gave the Cleveland-Gresham
policy a roast and hurled such gentle
terms as "blood-thirsty" at Queen Lii.
Mr.. Wins substitute was ruled out OF
order by the chair and the original reso-
luton was adopted without a dissenting
vote. 1t was viva voce vote.
The preamble of Mr.. WINS subst-
tute conceded that substantially all the
intelligence of the country is contained
in the present House of the Ohio Legis-
lature; that certain members, appreci-
ating their own unreasonable impor-
lance, have devoted much valuable time
i'll the preparation of certain buncombe
resolutions pretending to direct Con-
gress, but really intended to get their
names in the papers; that the House,
ever mindful to the taX-burdened peo-
pie during the six weeks session, has
passed two important measures TO
tighten the burdens of taxation, viz.
One granting bounty upon the scalp OF
each hawk killed or found dead, and the
other providing Il protection to the
farmers skunks; that there was con-
siderable amount OF the peoples money
which might be used in considering bun
combe resolutions referring to foreign
countries; therefore, be it
ResOiCed, That the services OF the
House are hereby rendered to President
Dole in the administration of the Pro-
visional Government.

loyalty to the flag is more intense than
that OF the majority OF the white resi-
dents of Honolulu. Fourth Of July has
always been celebrated here as
III the United States. The present
year there was AN interesting dilemma.
The day dawned and there was to he Il
more enthusiastic gathering than ever.
Why2 Because the celcbrants believed
themselves already adding another star
TO the banner. But who was to preside?
The Paramount Commissioner Blount
was the highest resident American citi-
zen; he was waited upon by the islander
in charge and told that he must assume
the chair, that in the history of the
Islands the United States official highest
in rank had never yet declined that re-
sponsibility; he objected, fatty refused,
but his caller was equally obstinate, and
finally, under the assurance that he
should make no speech, that he should
be retained but for one hour, merely as
the tigure-head and in Difference to a
custom OF more than half century
standing, Mr.. Blount consented. No
greater proof OF the mistake of
President Cleveland in sending him
to the Islands could have been seen.
There sat Mr.. Blount, an ex-Con-
federate, a Southerner, while all the
absolute Unionism of the war era was
fired at his head; he had to listen not
only to Yankee Doodle" and the "Star
Spangled Banner" but for him were
also sounded forth the inspiriting notes
OF Marching Through Georgia." and
he was further assured with local
meaning that the soul of John Brown
was marching on. No regard was paid
to the fact that Mr.. Blount's State was
that which witnessed Sherman's march
to the sea, nor was it ever thought by
the throng that to a Southerner the
hottest regions of Dante's "Inferno'' are
not severe enough for the crime of the
old hero OF Harper's Ferry. Mr.. Blount
did not fraternize in the least with the
people while he was here; he declined
all social attentions, and knew. as much
OF the spirit animating the Provisional
Government party when he landed as
he knew when he left, save for the fact
that Mrs. Blount, of whom all speak
favorably, exchanged calls with those OF
her own sex.

VISITING PEARL L0CHS.
ADMIRAL IRWIN SPENDING A DAY
AT THE HARBOR.
Will Make Observations and Report He
Favors a station There-What the
Future Holds.

Admiral Irwin, with Flag Lieutenant
Adams and Lieutenant Woods, the
navigating officer, is spending the day at
Pearl Lochs, the guest of G. A. Brown.
The fine private car Pearl was placed at
the Admiral's service by the Oahu Rail-
way Company. A STAR reporter found
the Admiral at the depot this morning.
He said he was not acting under orders,
but purposed making further investi-
CATION OF Pearl Harbor and sur
roundings. The result OF his observa-
tons will be sent to the Navy Depart
ment at Washington. Said he: "The
United States has no station below
Mare Island on the entire west
shore line of North and South America.
There Is marked need not only for a
coaling depot and dry dock in all this
field, but there should be place for re-
pairing. | shall look about for loca-
ton for shipyard, take note of the
topography in relation to land transpor-
tation, see what the water front presents
and satisfy myself as to the fresh water
supply. A survey has been made by the
Government and charts published, but
| wish to see the original. While | am
soon to retire from the service of course
| will continue to have keen interest
in naval matters. With many men
who are expected to have an opin-
ion on this matter, l hold Pearl
harbor at high value. With the bar
deepened it will make one OF the finest
retreats for vessels in the world. The
question OF the establishment there OF
an extensive naval station will soon
present itself for consideration. | am
accepting opportunities to inform myself
| fully. Some time ago | spent day
down there with DIR. j. 5. McGrew."
| Admiral Irwin was especially direct in
speaking of the very apparent demand
for a well equipped and efficient station
in the Pacific. He even spoke OF the
reported encroachment of England in
Selling an island off Callao. The
Admiral would not comment
upon this but it is known
that naval officers and others
have remarked upon it as an act in de-
tiance OF the Monroe doctrine. Some
! have suggested that this unheralded
transaction, seemingly OF no great inn
portance and attracting hut little atteh-
ton, might eventuate i'll serious test
OF the Monroe doctrine.
1t is plain that Admiral Irwin shares
in the well-settled belief of every
man who has gone into the subject, that
Pearl Lochs will be the theater of scenes
that will build up on the island of Oahu
an industry that will share the realm
with King Sugar. The political import
is unmistakable. Upon the maturity OF
plans that must inevitably be adopted
any followed out, there will be estab
lished at Pearl Harbor United States
naval station that will develop into a
great industrial city. The dry dock
alone would be a nucleus for large
settlement. There will be yards for re-
pairing and building, great fuel de
partment, training ships will be held
there, and this will he a halfway poin
in the Pacific that will really be more
important than would "A consolidation
of several stations that now demant
and hold attention.

VOLCANO GAS IN THE AIR.

1t Accounts for the Throat and Lung
Troubles that Prevail In Honolulu.
Ever since the Volcano has been in
eruption and whenever the wind blows
from the southeast the city begins to
sneeze or experience trouble OF the
bronchial tubes. The effect is caused,
so physicians say, by sulphurous acid
gas thrown out of Kilauea's blazing pit.
On some nights the smell OF sulphur has
been as strong in town rs would be
caused by the lighting Of card OF
lucifer matches in small room. 1t Is
likely that the odor is more prevalent
here than in IIilo and other parts Of the
island OF Hawaii, which are too close to
the base Of the big mountain to be
touched by the breezes which blow
through and above the point OF volcanic
discharge.
