port Of the building inspector for 1896,
showing, as he claimed, that there was
nothing in the way of work to be done.
He said the office was a loafing place
and $1,000 could be cut off without any
detriment to the department.. The
office, he said, had not been run as it
should be. The motion to amend made
by Mr.. Craig reducing the clerkship
from $4,000 to $4,000, was lost, only
Craig, Kirke, Reardon and Albrecht
voting for it. The sum Of $4,000, as
recommended, was then approved.
Mr. Reardon wanted the engineering
department. fund cut down from $25, 900
to $12,5OO The retrenchment committee
of 1895, had recommended that the
amount be reduced to $4,000. There
was only one vote for Mr. Reardon'S $
amendment, and the item as recon-
mended, was adopted. Mr. Reardon
also wanted the municipal court fund
increased $4,000, so as to hire an addi-
tional judge. He had noticed the other
day that a motion argued before one
Of the Judges in April, had not been
decided until Dec. 81. This would in-
dicate, he thought that there was too
much work, and for this reason, he
wanted the fund increased so as to
take in the salary of an additional
judge. The plan received only the sup
pert of Mr.. ReardOn.
adopted and the assembly will meet
this evening to pass an ordinance au-
thCriZing the issuance of certificates of
Indebtedness. Mr.. Dix had a reSOlu-
ton passed which provides that the
committees on education from both
bodies confer with the members of the
legislature to have a bill drawn which
will allow cities, If they so de-
sire, to incur Indebtedness for the pur-
pose of providing free text books. Mr..
Dix said he understood there was some
action of this kind now before the
Legislature in the shape of bill and
thought it would be good idea if
much as possible.
The following table shows the
amounts allowed the various funds un>
der the tax estimate budget, which was
passed yesterday by both branches of
the council. One part of the table
gives the amounts allowed in the es-
innate for 1896 and the other for this
year. AS compared with the estimate
of 1896 the amount to be raised by tax.
alton this year is $9S,S47 greater than
last year. The greater part Of the in
crease, as will be seen by glancing at
the table, is in the items for the pOlice
department, city lighting, school main
teDance and additions and the bridge
repair fund. The amount for street
nghtlng Is $685. more than last year,
owing to the fact that this fund was
not sufficient to meet demands last
year. The increase in the school fund
Of $S3,750 is partly due to the new
buildings and additions to be erected
this year. The bridge repair fund is
increased $27, 500 in order to provide for
a new bridge across the railroad tracks
at Raymond avenue. The police depart

says, is only one mesh of net of vast
ramifications. Japan intends to make
the Pacific islands all tributary 10 her,
at first commercially, and subsequent
ly politically. Honolulu possesses
great maritime and strategical impor-
lance, which is increasing daily. In
view of the rapid development of cities
on the Pacific Coast, this Importance
will assume an international character
if the Nicaraguan canal is ever opened.
At present there are $4,000 Japanese
living in Hawaii. andsif immigration
continues at the present rate the Jap

upper hand there. particularly since a
great many soldiers who took part in
the war with China are now settled
there with their families. The Japa-

senate Demands Details of Death OF
Ruiz.


WASHINGTON. March 2.-The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate today a report
made by Secretary Olney on the resolu-
ton. requesting the correspondence in
the case Of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz. The re-
port suggests the inadvisability of sup
plying the correspondence at this time,
saying it would be incompatible with the
public interest TO do so pending the eX-
haustive investigation about TO be insti-
tuted. Cleveland adds the suggestion
that the Consul General should have
professional aid in such investigation,
which suggestion the President indorses,
though the matter of the selection of par
Jicular persons to act with him properly
devolves upon the Presidents successor
in Office.
Instead OF transmitting the official cor
respOndence. the Secretary supplies an
account of his own composition covering
the essential facts in the case. He says:
Ruiz, a native Of Cuba, came 10 TINS
country during the revolution which
terminated in 1873. and studied dentistry
at Philadelphia. declaring his intention
TO become a citizen OF the united Sta aSSG
in 1877. taking his final papers in 1850
After this he returned to Cuba and has
resided there"
OF the details of Ruiz arrest on Febru-
ary 18th he SAYS the department was I'M
mediateIy informed, but that nothing
more was heard of the matter until Feb
ruary 18th, when the Consul Generai re
ported that Ruiz had been found dead
He says that the State Department hat
assumed that the case was being at
tended to in this interim, and that de-
mand would be made that the prisoner
should be put communicate. but II after
ward developed that no such demand had
been made, and that the prisoner had
remained constantly in solitary contine-
ment. The circumstances attending the
death We're such as to lead to a demand
for immediate Investigate tons.
