but they are unquestionably compe-
tent, from what has already been done,
to finish it to the satisfaction of the
public and at profit to themselves.
John H. Wilson is the son of ex-
Marshal c. B. Wilson, and, like his
partner, is junior in Stanford Uni
versity. They were, in fact, among the
very first students at Stanford. Dur
ing his vacations Johnny" would come
to Honolulu and get little practical
experience. During these trips he
worked for the o. R. & L. Co. and the
Eva plantation in setting up wind
mills and building telephone lines.
This experience was of great benefit
to him, and won for him the conf
dence of Mr.. Dillingham; and Mr..
Lowrey. After finishing his junior
course, he went to work in the en-
cheering department of the Southern
Pacific Railway until few months
ago, when he returned to his Island
home, believing there would be work
enough to keep him busy.
L. NJ. Whitehouse is an Oakland
boy, and was Mr.. Wilson's chum at
college. The two were associated in
practice under the leadership of the
professors at Stanford, and the ties
| formed there seem destined to hold to-
gether. When Mr. Whitehouse finished
his studies he went to work on the
Northern and Central Pacific Rail-
ways, and has had practical experience
in road construction. He was also en-
ployed on the Colorado Central, so
| that his practical knowledge of his nro-
fession will enable him, with Mr.. Will
son, to carry this Pail job through
promptly.
1t is their intention to petition Min
lister King to close the old road for
about 80 days, beginning in about four
weeks. This they deem necessary, in
order to prevent accidents. In blasting
along the solid walls of lava the loose
rock will fall into the road, and peo-
pie will be in danger of losing, their
lives. If the permission is granted, am
pie notice will be given the public.

Ii road will be a paradise for Wheel
men.
The work completed speaks volumes
for these young contractors, and, from
their description, it will be, when
ready for travel, monument to their
capabilities as engineers. They have
build around precipices which seemed
almost impossible, and the work is
substantially done. According to their
plans, there can be no washouts for,
realizing that they are building with
this road, their regulations as well,
they intend that it shall be as nearly
perfect as good workmanship and a
thorough knowledge shall make it.
They have 140 men at work on the
road, and they hope to have it finished
by the middle of November, though
their contract gives them until Deem
Der 10th. After this road is built, they
will begin work on the one connecting
with the Waimanalo branch, a piece
$500 feet long. The contract for this
part does not call for macadam.
The trip over the road yesterday oc-
cupied nearly two hours, and on the
return of the party to camp they did
justice to an elegantly prepared luau,
in which pig formed the piece de re-
sistance. The table, set in the con-
tractors Office, was completely hidden
by mountain ferns and ii leaves. After
the meal short speeches, compliment
tary to the contractors, were made by
several members of the party and re-
sponded to by Mr.. Whitehouse and G.
B. Wilson, father of the other of the
contractors. At $50 the party returned
to town.
The contractors, it will be under
stood, are decidedly young men to
have such a contract on their hands,

A hunting party, composed of Judge
Frear, together with Professor Smith
and NJ. Roberts, of Stanford Univer-

They expect to be gone for few days,
and while on Molokai will take a few

Closely Pursued by Spanish Force

HAVANA. via Key West, Fla, December
13.-It is officially announced that the
Spanish forces under the command of Gen.
eral Pando in the province of Puerto Prin-
cipe have been pushing insurgent leader
General Maximo Gomez so closely that he
was obliged, with about 200 men of his
escort. to seek refuge in the woods and
mountains of Las Delicias.
The commissioners sent by General Pan

seems to confirm the reports that some of
them have been hanged by the insurgents
and others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
1t is reported that Juan Delgado. the in
surgent leader, has hanged the two com
mlssioners who were sent to him with
peace propositions.

sUBPOsT OFFICE STATION.
Lively Contest In Regard to a Pre-
posed Removal on 14th Street.

Lively Contest In Regard to a Pro-
posed Removal on 18th Street.
There is a local fight on hand for the
subpost office station which is at present
located at the southwest corner of 1ith
and streets northwest. Some time ago
the drug store where the substation is nov
located was sold, and the purchaser before
he closed the deal called upon the post Of
fice officials and asked If there was any
complaint, and II they contemplated NOV
ing the station. He was info rmed that
everything was moving satisfactorily. and
that no suggestions of a change had been
made To make himself more certain he
called upon Postmaster Willett and asked
the same questions. Receiving like replies
he asked Postmaster Willett if any change
were suggested would he stand by him,
and it is understood the postmaster re-
Piled in the affirmative. No sooner had
the deal been closed, however, and the new
proprietor safely in possession than fight
started to have the station moved to the
northwest corner OF 18th and Rhode Island
avenue. This fight continues now with
unabated interest, and 1t looks very much
as if the station would be moved A num-
ber of citizens have called upon the first
assistant postmaster general and urged the
change. No reasons were advanced. Ser
ator Teller, ii is understood, has interested
himself in the matter, and Is in favor Of
moving the statiCn. The outcome will be
announced in a few days.

CURTAILMENT OF LEGISLATION
The House Without Power to RuIe
Out "Riders'' by the Senate.

The House Without Power to Rule
Out "Riders'' by the Senate
A story was put out last night that
Speaker Reed proposed an amendment
OF the rules Of the House which would
prevent riders being put on appropria-
tion bills by the Senate. There is no such
thing contemplated and no such thing pos
s.ble- The House cannot make rules which
will control the Senate, and what may
be added to an appropriation bill in the
Senate depends upon the Senate rules and
the Senate votes.
The republicans of the house may adopt
policy for the treatment of such 'riders"
as may be put upon appropriation bills by
the Senate, but this would simply deter
mine the degree of resistance the House
should offer to the will of the Senate. The
House could not rule out any Senate
amendment 1t could simply reject the
amendment and permit the bill to fail, II
the Senate insisted and stood firm. No
rule of the House could affect this matter
In any way. except enc to make the House
rules rs liberal to riders as are the rules
of the Senate.
The subject is enc that can be dealt
with only through an agreement between
the two houses of Congress. II they con-
cur in policy the desired curtailment of
legislation can be accomplished. or great
firmness on tie part of the house may
cause the Senate to yield to a considers
BILE extent, but there is 60 force that can
be exerted through the rules Of the House.

School Question at Alton Before state
supreme Court.

ALTON. ILL.,, December 13.-The Alton
public school ccior line fight will be trans
ferred to Springfield. Mayor Henry Brueg-
geman, City Counsellor II. s. Baker and
Attorney ]. F. McGinnis will go there today
to fight in the state supreme court the final
answer of this city to the petition of the
oolored citizens, Palmer and Brenholt. for
a writ of mandamus to compel the admis-
sion of colored children indiscriminately to
all public schools in this city.
1t will be argued that the points set forth
in the petition are all null and void; that
the city in providing new. conveniently To-
Gated and perfectly equipped school houses
and assigning the colored pupils thereto,
has acted clearly within the law, and has
not only not Disseminated against the coll
ored children, but acted for their best
moral and intellectual advancement.
Meantime the fight here, while IL has
ceased to be aggressive. is on as severely
as ever. No colored child is allowed to
enter any other than the new schools as
signed to them. and while the attendance
in the latter has slightly increased, the
oeiored people generally have persisted in
their policy of keeping their children at
home rather than to submit to the dictatiop
CT the board of education.

ST. LOUIS, December 13-A special td
the Globe Democrat from San Antonio,
Tex, says:
News was received here today of a terri.
BILE tragedy which occurred in the settles
nent known as Fiddletown, forty-miles
north Of here. Fred. Barth, ST., a pros-
porous German farmer without warning,
took his shotgun and, placing il at the
back of his wife. fired. His daughter. upon
hearing the shot, ran into the hall, and.
seeing her mother lying upon the floor with
her clothes burning, bent over her to ex-
tingush the flames, when her father, who
in the meantime had secured a razor. step
ped up behind her, saying. Now i will
finish you also" took hold Of her and at
tempted to cat her throat.
His aim was too high, and he cut her
from the forehead down to the chin. The
girl ran out and called for help. When
neighbors arrived they found that the old
man had cut the throat of his wife and had
also cut both of his arms at the wrists and
was bleeding to death. Barth was arrested
and placed in Jail. He will give no reason
for the deed. He is apparently sane.

Col. Allen Reports on the Progress O1
the Survey.


the Survey.
Col. Allen Of the Engineer Corps, who
is making survey for the proposed me-
mortal bridge across the Potomac river
from the old naval observatory to the
Arlington estate, says he expects to COM
plete the making of test bor:ngs on the
trial lines of survey before the close of the
month and also to complete the map of
survey. Twenty borings were made in
and near the main channel of the Potomac
during November. These borings required
a total penetration of 2S0.S feet of which
1898 feet were in mud. III feet in sand
and gravel and 244 feet in rock. Borings
were also made in the Little river behind
the training dixie and the lower end of
Analostan Island. In that locality there
vas a total penetration of 206 feet, of
which 1SS feet were in mud, SS feet in
sand and gravel and 90 feet in rock.
Little river is now SO shallow that the
snag boat used in the work can be moved
only at high tide, and as northwest winds
Prevailed during November, causing the
tides below the average, the work has been
greatly delayed.

Decision of the Lower Court Reversed
in Bram's Case.

Decision OF the Lower Court Reversed
in Bram's Case.
In the United States Supreme Court to-
day an opinion was handed down by JUS
tice White in the case of Thomas Bran,
under sentence of death by the United
States circuit court for the Massachusetts
district for the murder of the captain
and the mate Of the bark Herbert Fuller
and also the wife Of the captain at sea
in July. 1885, the name of the captain
being Charles 1. Nash and that of the
mate Auguct w. Blomberg. The decision
of the circuit court was reversed, on the
ground that the lower court erred in ad-
mitting the testimony of the detective
with whom Bran corlversed in Halifax.
Ihe vessel On which the tragedy OCCURRED
was bound from New York to South Amer
lea, and after the crime was discovered
her course was cha nged and the first land
ing made at Halifax. A seaman named
Brown was first arrested by shipmates,
charged with the commission Of the crime.
and afterward, actpated by a statement of
Browns, they also took Bran into custody.
Ihe reversal Was based upon the admis-
sion of Bram's statement to the detective
in Halifax.
In the United States Supreme Court to-
day the case of the Boyden Power Brake
Company agt. the Westinghouse company
was restored to the docket for reargument
and assigned to the first Monday in March.
This will make the third hearing in the
case. .
The decision of ths Supreme Court of
New Mexico IN the case of the Springer
Land Association vs.. Patrick P. Ford was
tcday sustained in an opinion by the United
States Supreme Court. rendered by Chief
Justice Fuller. The question involved was
whether mechante's lien upon an immi-
grafton system Govern only the bitches and
reservoirs, or in addttion to these the lands
under the ditch. The court held the lien
applied to the lands held under the ditch
as well as to the ditch itself, in this case
involving 1000 acres.
Justice Brewer today handed down the
opinion Of the United Court
in the case OF the Michigan Land and Lum-
Der Company PLAINTIFF IN error, VS.. Charles
A. Rust. The decision IN the court OF ap-
peals was favorable to, Rust, and that de-
cision was affirmed by today's action of the
Supreme Court. 1t was held in brief that
the governor In accepting list Of swamp
lands in Michigan former list had been
furnished and found to be erroneous, had
forfeited the right to claim under the first
list. and that the ameuXknept to the swamp
land act OF 1857 did noe aiteE the situation.
