Iron works Complimented.

Both the chief engineer of the U. S.
IS. Brutus and the u. S. n. Paymaster
who settled the bill said that the work
of the Honolulu Iron Works on the
engines of the collier had been entirely
satisfactory. The men who had lab
ored night and day in close quarters
were mentioned as being good as ever
seen anywhere. The paymaster was
entirely satisfied.
1t is now said of the Brutus that she
has been run hard and economically
as a tramp ever since she was launch
ed and that for five years she has had
no repairs. The opinion was expressed
by an expert that she should go on the
dock for thorough overhauling that
would take not less than two months.

Eminent Domain Bill Killed in the
HOuSe-A Tie Vote and an
Appeal.
SENATE.

One hundred-siXteenth day, July /.
Notification was received from the
House of the passage of several bills
including the adoption of the confer
eDce amendments to the appropriation
bills The loan appropriation bill
came to the Senate in amended form
The Senate failed to concur in the
amendments and the bill went to Con
ference committee.
The Finance Committee reported on
the examination of the books of the
Finance Department. They found the
books in excellent condition. Several
seeming differences in totals of ac-
counts as made by the expert and as
found in the books were satisfactorily
surplus in the treasury correct as ac-
counted for in the report of the FL
nance Department. They also found
old issue silver certificates to the
amount of $272,50O. The committee
presented a joint resolution, which
was adopted, providing that commits
sion be appointed to count and verify
the issue and destroy the bills by fire.
The bill of which notice was given
yesterday by Minister Cooper, passed
first reading, was read by title and re-
ferred to the Commerce Committee.
The bill provides for making Palaau
on MOlOkai, a port of entry. M mister
Cooper explained that the Executive
saw no reason why Palaau should not
be made port of entry. The new
plantation at that point on the island
promised to be one of the largest en-
terprises in the Islands. 1t had ma
chinery on the way and could not be
landed unless it went through a port.
Lahaina was the nearest and it would
be no greater expense to the Govern
ment were there port of entry at
Palaau for inspection of cargOes.
The House bill to amend the opium
laws by eliminating the provision for
payment of one-half the fines to in
formers, was laid on the table on mo-
ton of Senator Brown, who objected
to the bill on the ground that it would
deprive the Government of the ability
to secure information against the
and dealers in opium. Now
that the House had killed the opium
bill the fines system would be of great
service.
The light wine and beer license bill
with amendments, came up from the
House. Two principal amendments
were made to the bill. One gave the
authority for issuing licenses to the
Minister of the Interior and the Ex-
ecutive Council Another removed the
restriction limiting the number Of
licenses in Waikiki, Kalihi and Nuu-
anu. Each of these places mav have
three licenses. The places where light
wine and beer are sold must be sit
uated at least two miles from a high
license saloon. The Senate con
Cured in the amendments.
1t was expected that the Rapid
Transit bill would come up for third
reading. as the Printing Committee re-
ported it. The interpreter had the Of
fetal copy in his possession for trans
latiOn, it was explained, and the bill
could not legally be passed until both
and Hawaiian versions were
present.

The L. S. Monitor Monterey and the
L. S. Collier Brutus are now on the

count of her coal hulk requiring re-
pairs.
About Z o'clock sast evening the
Brutus made a trial trip from the an

Burton Holmes and his motion pic

hard at work on material for the illus
trated lecture on the Islands, which
Will be the leader with the company

Of motion pictures will show that pop

parties will be shown and some well
known people of this community may
at some future time practically see
themselves induIging in the grand
pastime of making express time on the
crest of a Waikiki wave
These motion pictures are made at
the rate of eighteen to the second and
the instrument for making the impress
sions or negatives was kept quite busy
for some time on Thursday afternoon.
In the embarkation are shown the
Princess Kaiulani, Marshal Brown and
Mrs. Brown, E. r. Adams, Mrs. J A
Gilman Miss Parker and others eg gual-
ly prominent in the Islands. Both Mr..
De Pue and Mr.. Holmes believe Il at a
thorough success was made with the
films and the machine Every pre-
caution was put forth against failure.
The negatives made here will be pre-
pared in the States for use in project
ing On the screen. There Will be sew
eraI hundred views.
The first picture taken by Mr..
Holmes for cOlOring by the artist who
has given so much life to his Yellow
stone Park and other pictures was
very appropriately Of that pleasant in
stitutiOn-the luau. 1t will show the
feast and decorations in detail, the ma
tive musicians, the lanai and the
guests. Mr. Brown, manager for Mr..
Holmes, is delighted with this first of
the series of big colored pictures. In
a day or two the artist party will visit
Eva and will there secure views of
the sugar mill in full operation and of
field hands at work. The Japanese
cane cutters have heard of this and it
is said they will throw activity into
the scenes that will surprise the most
experienced luna.
One thing in the Holmes illustrated
pretty we'll for several years Will be
scenes from the dinner hour of visit
ing Boys in Blue. These will show the
crowds and the surroundings fully.
One of the companies of the First Reg
iment, n. G. H., will figure in the lee
ture and the military men abroad can
have the chance of passing upon the
efficiency of the local force. Capt.
Zeigler, F Company, will provide an
artillery drill for Mr.. De Pue in front
of the camera that makes the negatives
for the moving pictures. There will
be a number of Honolulu street and
water front scenes. On the other Is
lands Mr.. De Pue will find as ma
terial for motion pictures the handling
of live stock, sugar and other freight
at unfavorable landings by the native
boat crews. For the large colOred pic
lures to be used in the lecture proper,
Mr.. Holmes will select views on all
the Islands He will spend some time
at KiIauea, will visit MOiOkai, will
visit lao valley, Hanalei, Hakala and
many other historic and scenic spots.

ALL AMERICANS.
Tennessee Men Make No Distinc-
ton u. =. Troops.

A meeting of residents from Ten
nessee and neighboring localities was
held in the Chamber of Commerce at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon to dis
cuss the matter Of some specific recog-
milton of the Tennessee regiment dur
ing it's stay in this city. The idea of
the meeting was the outgrowth of sim
liar attentions shown to troops from
Oregon, Utah and Southern California
by residents from those sections.
Prof. J. T. Crawley presided.
After discussion lasting nearly an
hour it was voted to be the sense of
the meeting that all American troops
were Americans and nothing else, and
should, one and all, be entertained in
precisely the same way; that the prac-
tice of sections or States providing
specific entertainment for troops from
such sections or States was wrong in
principle; and that the meeting would
provide no specific reception for the
Tennessee or other troops, but would
assist the general Committee of One
Hundred in every way possible in en-
tertaining all American soldiers that
may call at this port
