Plans Completed.
The plans for the Hearst school have
been completed, except in some details,
and its construction will be commenced
early in 1896. The architect, Mr.. Ernest
F'lagg of New York, has conceived a build
ing in five parts, to be built upon the con-
vent order, with large grounds at the rear
incloSed within high walls. The architec-
ture will be of the Renaissance STYLE
which will be followed in all the buildings
of the cathedral foundation. and the ma
terial will, 1t Is expected now, be of light
brick, trimmed with stone
The Hearst school will stand back about
100 feet from Woodley road, which makes
sharp angle at the corner of the cathe-
dral grounds, and will be completed to
harmonze with the edifices which are to
follow. 1t will consist of a large central
building, with a wing on either side, and
large projections in the rear of each.
Imposing Group.
The conception of the entire group of
cathedral and the various colleges that are
to be combined with it is a grand one, and
the result will be one of the most striking
piles in the world. 1t is the design of those
having the management of the construc-
ton in charge to erect the cathedral upon
the highest elevation in the site, facing
soutn ana overlooking Washington. 1t is
the hope of the trustees and promoters of
the vast enterprise that 10Th street, which
would strike the cathedral grounds about
where the Woodley road now runs to them
and turns to the west, will be extended in
straight line, SO the edifice might front
directly into 1t.
The buildings will be erected on either
side of the cathedral in two lines extending
south, SO that an immense court will be
formed in the center. The picture of the
front view of St. Peters at Rome, with
imposing buildings in place of the colon
made on either side of the wide sweep that
leads up to it, would give good idea of
how the cathedral Is to be treated

The Opium Traffic.
This is an old controversy and a sore
one, There have been over thirty years of
experience in alternate prohibiting and Ii
censing of opium. The former system has
generally prevailed. The opposition to Ii
censng opium arises from two sources.
One Is a philanthropic motive, TO protect
especially the native Hawaiians from the
extremely dt stroying effects of the drug.

capable and promir ent natives who fell
victims to this appetite and persisted by it
during brief period of opium licensing.

1, 1885, for which time he claims $685.. 80
pay, contending that inasmuch as he was
wrongfully laid off he is entitled to pay.

suspended without pay, an act which the
board has a perfect right to avail itself
Of under the law.
