" and not a little dredging. The
dredging can be done in a few months.
Much Of that section Of the harbor has
already been deepened. The neighbor-
hood of the mouth of Nuuanu stream
was given attention a couple of years
ago and there have been frequent
dredgings about the present railway
wharf and near the cattle pens. The
distance from the shore to deep water
is not great and, whenever practicable,
the dock line will be extended past
shoal water.
Pile driving for the new long wharf
will begin in a few days. All the ship
ping people are delighted with the
prospect One of the Railway officials
approached yesterday did not care to
talk to any extent on the situation or
the outlook. He said the Company
had been determined for many months
to force wharf construction on the part
of the Government and that the Rail-
way people would be pleased as any
body to see work begin.

COOP" HOUSE.
Company Organizing to Take a
PROGRESS Store

Progress Store.
J. w. Smith, the school teacher at
Pearl City, is the moving spirit in a
new mercantile venture of considerable
proportions. The scheme is for what
is called in the States and in England
a Coop" There will be capital stock
stock will sold in small lots to pros
pective customers. The idea is that
purchasers will get back a part of the
money used in paying for supplies in
sharing in the profits. Stock in the
new enterprise has been taken quite
readily about town. The figure is $5
a share, $3.50 to be paid up and no
member to have more than 100 shares.
1t is believed that under this plan the
average consumer in the company will
derive marked benefit. In the States
the experience has been that somehow
the stock eventually drifted into the
hands of shrewd investors. Many huis
for the purchase Of supplies on the
Coast and further east have been or
ganized here from time to time, but
this is something different. 1t is pro-
posed to go into competition by this
Coop concern with any and all
houses Groceries viii be the feature.
The new Coop" proposes to have
one of the big stores in the new Pro-
gress block at the corner of Fort and
Beretania.

Republicans Protest.

Republicans Protest.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 19.-Speaker Pro
Tenn. Weilep ruled that a majority vote
could change the rules. although the
rules themselves provide for a two
third vote. Weilep did this in obedience
to the will of the Populist caucus, the
object being to advance railroad, stock
yards, school book, insurance and other
reform measures on the calendar. The
question came up on resolution to ap-
point a committee to revise the calen-
dar, and Weilep declared it carried on
the yea and nay showing. The Repub-
licans rose and demanded a roll call,
but Weilep ignored them, and then
followed a violent demonstration.
The Republicans resisted the author
ity of the sergeant standing
on their desks and jeering. The speak
er pro TEN. ordered them to be brought
before the bar of the house. but the
J sergeants were powerless. The Popu-
| list side tried to pass bills, but the OFF,
GERS of the house could not be heard
above the din, and a recess was taken.
Afterward the resolution was reconsid-
cred, and roll call will be granted, but
| the Populists will not depart from Wei
| lep's decision. Speaker Pro Tenn. Wei
] lep, in defense of his action, said; Il
| base my ruling on the constitution,

not submit to any obstruction from the

There are greater evils than war

another fratricidal war like that of

traitor who counsels it. He deserves

cause But when our congested and inn
poverished populations must find way

Commander of the North Atlantic Squad
ron Suggests Many Changes.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Admiral Bunce
has sent to the navy department a re-
port for nearly $1,000,000 worth OF WORK
on the ships of his squadron wrought
by the storm en- route to Charleston
IT is the first full report that has come
from that source regarding the effects
of the wind and waves and evidently
represents Admiral Bunce's conclusions
regarding the ships of the new navy.
He Is not satisfied with any OF the YES
sells apparently and of some OF them
he speaks in terms Of emphatic criti-
cism. He believes the armament OF
some of the ships is too great and ne
has specified a number OF instances
where the guns should be reduced II the
efficiency of the ships as navigable op-
tects is to be maintained.
Among the changes recommended Is
that the superstructures of the Amphi-
trite be removed This is In line with
the admirals idea that the monitor
should show nothing above the water
line to serve as a target lie also rec
ommends that the supers'tructure OF the
Maine be removd. He regards IL OF no
value and as interfering with the EN-
cheney of the ship. The report suggests
changes on all the vessels, even down 10
the small boat that was found so valu-
able in saving life in the midst on
storm. II Is recommended of this boat
for instance, that 1t be lightened' its
nrincinal faults being its excessive
weight and its surplus number OF oars
