new members fancy that they must OBJ

"Don't do that; there is no necessity
for it. When you want to go home,
go, and say nothing. You won't be

The same feeling exists to-day. An

that he did not like to leave the House,

OAHU RAILROAD TO BE EXTEND
ED TWENTY -FOUR MILES.
Grading Will Soon BE Commenced
Dillingham-Year to Complete Work

1t was announced at the offices Of
the Oahu Railway e. Land Company
this morning that the road is to be
extended at once from Waianae, the
present terminus, to Waialua, a dis
tance of twenty-four miles. The sur
veys of the route have already been
made and the grading will begin now
within a very few days. The directory
of the railroad hope to have trains
operating between Honolulu and Wa;-
alua within one year from now.
General Manager Dillingham; smiled
when he talked of the proposed ex-
tension this morning. eve have raised
quite a large sum of money toward the
building of the extension to Waialua,''
said he, "and there can be no doubt OF
the Oahu railroad getting that far at
any rate. The work of grading for
the extension will commence as soon
as certain negotiations now pending
have been consummatet,."
The route of the railroad from Wal
anae to Waialua will be along the
beach, running near Gays land and
through Halstead's plantation to Wal.
alua. A good grade of steel will be
laid.
Mr.. Dillingham's ambition is to ex.
tend the road to Kahuku. To under.
take this would require an expendi.
ture of about $5OO,00O. Now that the
road will be pushed on to Waialua the
chances for the Kahuku project look
brighter.

FIFTY ACRES DESTROYED.
Disastrous FIRE at Eleele Plantation
on Kauai.

News was brought by the steamer
Waialeale this morning of a big fire
in the cane fields of the Eleele planta-
tion on Tuesday evening, in which be-
tween thirty-five and fifty acres of
cane were destroyed. Capt. Parker was
at Hanamaulu when he learned of the
fire and at once telephoned to Eleele,
but could learn no particulars.
The fire started in the afternoon,
and came near sweeping the whole
plantation. Just how it started could
not be ascertained, but the impression
is given that it was of incendiary or
igin. On account of the dry weather
it made rapid progress, and it was
with great difficulty that its progress
was checked. 1t is probable that be-
tween $50 and 200 tons of sugar have
been destroyed, valued at from $4,000
to $4,000.
When the Waialeale sailed for Ho-
nolulu, the steamer w. &. Hall was
engaged in taking down cooling pans
from Koloa. 1t was thought at that
time that much of the juice could be
saved.
The Mikahala also brought a report
of the fire this morning but could Sc
cure no particulars. The purser
learned that fifty acres of cane were
destroyed.

HANDSOME PRICE OFFERED TO
THE GOVERNMENT.
Davies d Co. Want to Build a Ware
house-The Property to Be Sold at
ublic Auction.

The block of land on the Waikiki
side of the fish market. recently re-
claimed by the Government dredger, is
shortly to be placed upon the market
and leased, in parcels or in bulk, to the
highest bidder at public auction.
Davies q Co. have applied to the Gov
ernment for six 1OOx50 foot lots on
the Halekawili street front, offering,
it is said, a handsome price The COM
pany intends to build a large ware
house there, it is said. AS the prop
erty cannot be leased privately, it is
probable that Davies & Co., will short
ly be given an opportunity to bid for
it at public auction.
Minister of the Interior King, when
seen at his office this morning, con-
firmed the report that an offer had
been made for a portion of the re-
claimed land, but declined to mention
the price. The work of reclamation
has not yet been fully completed, he
said, but when it is completed the
Government will own a fine piece of
water front property, about half as
large again as the Fish Market prop
erty. On the ocean side will be a deep
slip, 440 feet in length by 40 feet in
width-large enough to hold two large
vessels. AS this slip is directly at the
end of the channel it will be the most
desirable in the harbor-particularly
as a vessel may effect a landing with
out turning around.
Minister King said that the Survey
or General would, in the near future,
be authorized to survey and plat the
property, and as soon thereafter as
possible it would be leased at public
auction. He expressed the opinion
that a higher figure would be secured
than that offered by Davies & Co.. as
the property is bound to become the
most valuable on the water front.
The dredger is idle jast now, await
ing the setting of the new cutters re-
ceived by the last Australia. Original
ly the dredger was only intended to
remove sand and mud, but after the
work on the new slip had been started,
it was found that considerable coral
must be cut out and removed. To do
| this work new set of cutters were
ordered. which will be an entirely new
departure in the kind of dredge in
use. The cutters are of chilled steel,
and are to be so arranged that they
will cut out the coral in fine enough
pipes which carry the debris in shore.
The cutters were in the rough when
they arrived and are now in the
foundry, receiving the necessary pol
ish. They will be ready for setting in
a few days

AFFECTS FREE MEN NyAM 70 WHMA SOCIETY THE WEEK CAPTAINS SIDE NyM RECLAIMED LAND WANTED
THAT Is THE IMPRESSION OF THE
JAPANESE MINISTER.
Believes that Contract Laborers Will
Be Allowed to Come to Hawaii-The
Minister'S Credentials Arrive.

japanese Minister Resident Shima-
mura is in receipt of several important
papers from his Government, brought
on the Doric yesterday. The contents
of these he carefully guards from the
press. In the batch of mail was con-
tanned Mr.. Shimamura's credentials as
minister resident. These he will pre-
sent to President Dole at his earliest
convenience.
While not divulging any secrets Min
lister Shimamura gave out considerable
information which will be of interest.
'From the correspondence which
have received from the japanese Gov
ernment," said Minister Shimamura,
81 am convinced that only the free i'm
migration to these islands has been
temporarily stopped by my Govern
ment. There can be no question over
the right of the japanese contract
laborers consigned to responsible par
ties, to land on Hawaii, and 1 believe
that my Government realizes this
About the coming of one or two
japanese battleships to Honolulu Min
lister Shimamura stated that he knew
nothing. He was aware that his Gov
ernment was well worked up over the
refusal of landing Japans subjects.
Minister Shimamura's full report on
the recent troubles were forwarded to
his Government on the Coptic, which
sailed from Honolulu on April o and
was scheduled to arrive in Toxic
about the Goth.
President Asano, of the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha Steamship line, who passed
through Honolulu on the Coptic, will
very likely make verbal report to the
japanese Government officials of his
observations on the Pacific Mail dock,
when a large number of his country
men were placed aboard the Coptic to
be taken back to Japan.
George Z. Boardman, agent for one
of the large japanese immigration
companies, says that his people have
given him the impression in their let
ters that all immigration has been
ordered stopped to Hawaii. He hoped
that Minister Shimamura's advices
were correct, for it would place num-
Der of the sugar planters in bad fix
if the contract immigration has
ceased. The planters have put in
large orders for japanese .laborers, -
Mr.. Boardman stated this morning
They are running rather short hand
ed now and are endeavoring to get a
full supply of men before the summer
months arrive, for they feared that
the japanese Government would stoI
all immigration on account of the epi
demic. If all immigration is stopped
now it will work a great hardship or
several of the planters who are de.
pending on men to arrive within the
next few weeks"
Mr.. Boardman believed that the Ha
kusan Maru, the initial steamer of the
San Francisco and Yokohama line will
arrive next week with Vice President
Ito on board. A chartered steamer
loaded with japanese contract labor
ers and consigned to L. II. Davies &
Co., was scheduled to leave for Ha
away.

PRESIDENT DOLE'S BIRTHDAY.

President Dole was not at his office
in the Executive Building today. He
remained at his cottage in Waikiki re-
ceiving friends who called to congrat-
ulate him upon his fifty-third birth
day. Bright and early this morning
the Government band was at his place
and kept UP a serenade for an hour
or so. The President, Mrs. Dole and
a number of friends listened to the
concert from the lanai.
Among the first who called this
morning to. extend greetings to Mr..
Dole was Minister of Finance and Act
gin Minister of Foreign Affairs
Damon. Other members of the Cab
met called later. Members of the dip
lomatic and consular corps also con-
graduated the President. Aside from
informal calls, the event was celebrat-
ed very quietly.
