Many Milton Feet Have Gone Out Dur

Beaumont, Texas, January i-For the
past week the lumber trade has been
neither more nor less active than during
the past month. Their has been rsa-
scnanly good demand from dealers for
dressed and matched stun as well a for
common yard stun. This demand is az
most entirely from the State, very few
orders indeed being received from other
States There is a fair supply of timber

vicinity. and some inquiries for large
amounts OF heavy material have lately

HANDSOME NEW HOME ON NUU-
ANU FOR II. WATERHOUSE.
The Design of Ripley & Dickey-Of
Ample -porticos-Fern-
ery-To BE Two Stories.

The first of the year will see men
engaged in the work of constructing
the first and only old colonial style
residence ever built in Honolulu. 1t
is to be the home of Senator Henry
Waterhouse and will be located on his
Nuuanu street premises to the mau<a
side of Arthur b. Woods residence
and just above the present Water
house home.
This old colonial place is to be of
two stories. me front of the build
ing will lie huge ionic portico sup
ported by four great pillars running
up two stories in height. Half way
up these columns will be balcony on
a level with the second story. This
portico is approached by a broad fight
of steps. The reception hall is entered
through handsome leadened glass CO.
lonial doors.
On the first floor there will be a
large reception room with beauti-
fully ornamented straight stair case,
which doubles on itself, leading up to
the second floor At the landing half
way up the stairs, large fernery pro-
iects out and extends from the land
ing to the rear of the building. 1t is
separated by an arcade consisting of
three arches.
Opening off from the receptionsroom
of 14h feet by %, will be the parlor
connected with the reception hall by
a large opening IA feet wide with an
ionic column on each side. Off of this
parlor opens a large dining room, 10
by 25 feet, separated from the parlor
by fret work arch. The end of this
room will be nearly all glass. so as to
afford view of the pond lilies in the
rear of the lawn.
To the right of the reception hall
will be located the library, 14% by Is
feet, with large semi-circular bay on
the mauka side. Back of the library
will be a bed chamber, Is by 24h pro-
vided with an ample dressing room
and bath.
Culinary department will be back
of the dining room, and consists of IL
kitchen, store rooms, china closets,
pantries, all fitted throughout.
Four large chambers. bath and a
large sitting hall are arranged for on
the upper floor. Two of these chamD-
ers and the sitting hail. which is Is by
2S feet, open out onto the balcony in
front. The chambers will AL be wen
supplied with closets.
In front of the residence and eN-
tending around to the makai side will
be an 11foot veranda. The house will
be painted in the regular colonial col
ors, white and primrose. Ripley g.

THE BOND ISSUE.

Four thousand six hundred and
forty bids for s55s, ,269,s5O worth of
bonds.
Such was the tremendous total OF
the subscriptions opened at the
treasury department In accordance
with the terms of the call issued
month ago inviting proposals for
500, 900, coo of United States per
cent. bonds to run for thirty years
from February 1, 1895. These fig-
ures do not include about $120, ,00O,-
900 OF "crank" bids rejected as bo-
gus.
The immense offerings astoundsd
experts. The bids literally swamped
the treasury depsrtm ent.
The bids ranged from par up to .
single $50 bid up to 15O. Treasury
officials regard the loan as a complete
success, both as to the popular sub
scription feature and the prices OBJ
tanned. Bids came from SO eral
Thousand individuals and from hum
dreds OF national banks and other
banking institutions. Nearly all the
leading New York bankers and big
Insurance companies were represent
ed in the list Of bidders, but, with
few exceptions, they were out-ma-
neuvered by the Morgan syndicate.

CAPITAL REMOVAL.

The Missouri capital removal in
junction case was decided by the
supreme court in banc, the opinion
being written by Judge George B.
MacFarlane and concurred in by
Judges Brace, Sherwood, Barclay
and Robinson. Judges CAN'T and
Burgess did not sit In the case.
The court finds that 1t Is for the
people and not for the courts to pass
upon amendments to the constitu-
ton, and therefore the supreme
court has no authority to interfere
In this instance. This places the
capital removal question before the
people % be voted upon ct tho
November election, provided, o.
course, that sedaliA complies with
=. -, -asssslsas \ y t . ad I 4 - n-slss
"There carf be no doubt,n says
Judge MacFarlane, "that the CUES
ton OF the establishment OF the seat
of government is one which is
proper subject for amendment. II
tho people had seen fit they could
have given power to the general
assembly to change the seat of gov
ernment upon any terms it might
require. Indeed, the power might
have been delegated to the governor,
or this court, or to commissioners, as
was done by the convention of 1920.
But no such power was granted, nor
did the people remain silent on the
subject, and thus leave the matter
to the discretion OF the assembly,
but negatived such power by declar-
ing: The general assembly shall have
no power to remove the seat Of gov
ernment from the City OF Jefferson.
(Sec. 25, art. w., Constitution 1859
"It is plain that in order to secure
q removal o, the capital an amend
ment to the constitution is necessary.
The general assembly deemed it
proper that the expediency of re-
moval to Sedalia sh ould be submit
ted to the people. It is not seriously
insisted that an unconditional pro-
posal for removal would not have
been valid. But 1t is insisted that
the amendment as proposed is, and
though adopted by the people, would
be invalid, on account OF the condi.
tions annexed thereto, and the
powers delegated to certain officials.
"The objection is directed against
the wisdom Of the measure and it's
expediency. As has been said these
are questions upon which the courts
have no power. The amendment
derives its force from the people and
not from the Legislature. II ratified,
1t shall be valid and binding to all
intents and purposes as part OF
this constitution, is the language OF
that instrument"
The court holds that there was
nothing in the ordinance of admis-
sion or in the proceedings connected
Herewith irrevocably binding the
state to maintain the permanent seat
of government at Jefferson City and
that the people Of Jefferson City have
not secured such vested rights as will
prevent the removal of the capital.
