UNDERTAKERS
 PERPLEXED
The Closing of the City Cene- tery Affects a Close Con-
 tract.
Are Left Without Fixed Place in Which to Rest

The ordinance passed by the Super visors some months ago, closing the City Cemetery against further inter ments on and after the 1st of January, 1898, has left out in the cold those un- dertakers who have had a monopoly of the Chinese burials, as also the Western Addition Funeral Directors. who have the contract with the city for the interment of the indigent dead In the former case the Chinese are sorely pefplexed in their situation. They have no cemetery of their own, and none of the others owning burial grounds are willing to admit the Mon gollan corpse into their reservations
 The awkwardness of this position dawned on the Mongolian mind yes terday for the first time since the or der went into effect, and to overcome the situation Attorney Charles Nagle made his appearance at the office of the clerk of the Supervisors in the aft ernoon and tried to impress on MT. Russell the fact that it was the duty of the Board to provide a cemetery for the interment of the Chinese since the city had violated it's implied contract with his clients. Mir Russell soon set his mind at ease by reading the per mission under which the Chinese. as all others, were granted the privilege of using the city's land for burying place.
 AS the situation now stands the Chi nese must find a cemetery where they can deposit their dead previous to their removal to the Land of the Ris- ing Sun.
 The case of the Western Addition Funeral Directors, who have the con tract with the city for the burying of the lndlgent dead, is in much worse position, as the funeral firm has a con- tract which will not expire until next July. At the time the contract was let undertakers had the privilege of in terring the indigent dead in the City Cemetery without any expense other than that of paying a man for opening and closing the graves. As a conse- quence the undertakers bid against each other until the price was re- duced to s4 for each body turned over to the contractor from the city's pub lie institutions
 Now that the City Cemetery is de- clared closed the firm having the con tract finds itself in a financial dilem ma. The sum of S4 will not go far in covering the expense of burying a man when the price of a grave has to be pio'iUCG' anu yet lllSTe IS no nelp for the undertakers who put their bids in so low as to freeze all others out.
 The contractors are bound by bond Of $6OO0, with Dr. Henry Gibbons Jr. and Dr. E. E. Hill, both of whom have justified in the amount named.
 It was stated that 1t was the inten- tion of this undertaking firm to pur chase tract of land in San Mateo and set up cemetery of it's own in which the Chinese and the indigent dead may be buried

day for the discussion of civic mat ters, and what are the benefits to be gained for the kingdom of Christ?'
 The second question was How can we best extend the work of the Pres byterian Church within our midst? ?" Both of these questions were discussed at some length by the clergy present. Revs. Farrand, Carson and Ed Jenks were appointed committee to further eVangelistic work in this city.

MINISTER'S MEETINGS.
EverytbiDg Was Quiet at the Re- lieious Gatherings After
 the HolidoYs.

Perhaps the most interesting session of the ministers meetings yesterday was that of the Congregatienalists Rev. Dr. Mclean read a most interest ing paper entitled Sixteen days in a pew after thirty-six years in a pulpit" The reading was very interesting, be- ing review of his experiences while visiting the various churches in the East. .s

The Reason Given Is Old Age and Physi-
 cal Disability.
Three Sergeants and Four PatrOlnnen in Re-
 tirement.
Much SpecuIat ,n in the Departrrae ent as to Who Will Be Promoted
 From the Ranks.

As predicted in The Call a few days ago the Police Pension Commissioners. at their quarterly meeting yesterday, retired three sergeants and four patrol men owing to physical disability or ad- vanced age.
 The sergeants were Cornelius Martin, Michael Fitzgerald and A. J. Houghtal- ing, and the patrolmen Michael A. Lof- tus, Michael Murphy, George A. Ander- son and Thomas McNulty.
 Sergeant Martin was born in 1927. and joined the force August 1, 1865. He has been for number of years hack inspector, and made a host of friends. Sergeant Fitzgerald was born in 1887, and joined the force April 1, 1868. He has been recently stationed on the water front. Sergeant Houghtaling was born in 1881 and joined the force July 19, 1870. He has been for a num- Der of years in charge of the warrant department and was, perhaps, one of the best known and best liked men in the department. The records of the four policemen are: Loftus-born 1886, joined the force May 1, 1870. Murphy born 1883, joined the force August 30, 1870. Anderson-born 1896, joined the force November 30, 1877. McNulty- born 1S42, joined the force May g, 1878. Anderson has been incapacitated from duty for some years, and McNulty, through blow on the head some time ago which affected his brain, has been almost blind.
 The retirements take place imme- diately. Previous to the passing of an act at the last Legislature the Police commissioners had first of all, as was done in the case of Captains Stone, Short, Douglass and other officers, to request them to send in their resigna- tions because they could not be put on the pension list until they had ceased from active duty. By the recent act the Pension Commissioners have the power to make the retirements, to take effect at once
 There is considerable speculation in the department as to who will be selected to fill the vacancies for ser geantS. It is conceded that Owen Cor man, who has been for some years As sistant Hack Inspector, will succeed Sergeant Martin, but as to the other two number of names are mentioned. any one of whom through merit is justly entitled to the position.
 It IS expected that the vacancies will be filled at the meeting of the Po- lice Commissioners Wednesday night. and that the vacancy in the detective department caused by the promotion Of Captain Bohen last April will also be filled.
 Corporal Ayers, who has been doing station duty at California street, was notified last night to take Sergeant Houghtaling' place as warrant off, cer, and he will in all probability get his promotion as sergeant Wednesday night. He is an able and courteous officer and richly deserves to be pro- noted.

ON TO WA|ALUA
Tracklaying on the Exten.
sion From Waianae.
Grading Soon to be Completed
Trains TO WaiaIua by the Mid
d e OF April A Bridge.

The first train load of materiaI-rails
and ties-for the extension Of the Oahu
railway beyond Waianae, was received
at the front yesterday morning. It
was stated yesterday that track laying
in the direction of Waialua would be
under way fully before the end of this
week.
1t is confidently expected by the
management that trains will be run
ming into Waialua by the middle of
April next. The cry will then be ION
to Kahuku.'
Grading to Waialua will be finished
in between thirty and forty days. The
efforts of several hundred men and
many teams are now being directed by
the contractors. There is a call for
speed and a reward for it, In conse-
quence the graders are at work by
daylight every morning and continue
at it till dark. Supplies are carried
both by steamer and overland. One
serious trouble at first was the lack
of good drinking water in the neigh,
borhOod of Kaena Point, but this draw
back has been overcome, as have many
equally serious obstacles.
Perhaps the most important piece
of work yet to be finished on the rOaC
bed between Waianae and Waialua il
the construction Of a 90-foot bridge
1t was thought at one time that this
would delay track laying few days
but such energy has been used in thu
timber work that the track layers will
go right ahead. 1t is expected that tn
rate of progress in steel placing will
| be about half a mile a day The man
| agement is making conservative est
mates in fixing the date for the frs
train to Waialua for the middle O
April. On that occasion there vii
likely be a series of big excursions
The scenery beyond Waianae is eve
grander than on this side of the suga
and coffee plantation. The extenSiO
will greatly facilitate access to severa
| hundred or perhaps thousands of acre
of coffee land on this Island.
During the past six months the rail
way company has imported to tn
Islands rails and ties for forty-fou
miles of line. A quastity of the 48-lI
steel rail has been used in renewal {
track between Honolulu and Eva.
