the eastern lire is established by the surveys

that under the treaty Of 1S"l the south line

until It reaches the one-hundred- and forty first

WATER RATES ATTACKED
THEIR CONSTITUTIONALITY Is
DENIED.
If the Contentious in Pending Suit
are Sustained it Imperils the Whole
Water Revenue.

There is suit before Judge
Stanley this afternoon which involves
the whole revenue of the government
from water rates. If the contentious
of the plaintiff in the case are sus-
tanned by the Court, no more water
rates can be collected until the Legis-
lature has been called together and
fixes rates.
The suit is that of Bow Hoy, Lee
Chow and Bow Hin. against Henry T..
Cooper, Minister of the Interior, ad
interim. 1t was brought to restrain
the collection of rates of SIS a year
on buildings leased by the plaintiffs
at the corner of Kului and River
streets. 1t was brought June 2sth
and temporary restraining order
was issued on default the same day.
This morning the demurrer filed by
Attorney General Smith on the ground
of want of jurisdiction of the subject
matter was argued and withdrawn,
and an answer filed. The facts in the
case were agreed to on hearing on
the legal points involved was set for
? o'clock this afternoon.
The plaintiffs who are represented
by J. \. Magoon and f. r. McClana-
han. contend that under Section l.,
Article II, of the Constitution, water
rates to be legal must be fixed by the
Legislature, and that Section 500,
Chapter 40 of the Laws of 1897, under
which the Minister of the Interior
fixes the rates, is unconstitutional.
The section of the Constitution re-
lied on is that, mo subsidy, duty or
tax, of any description, shall be es-
tablished or levied without the con-
sent of the Legislature"
1t is contended that water rates
come within this section, and that
therefore the law providing that the
Minister of the Interior, may from
time to time regulate the rates to be
paid for water" is unconstitutional,
as being delegation of the Legislative
taxing power to the discretion of an
executive officer.
In support of his proposition Mr..
McClanahan, in his argument, point
ed out that all other taxes imposed,
except water rates, whether they
were for the enjoyment of privilege
or not, were fixed by the Legislature,
such as polls, road, school, dray, cart.
carriage, dog and real and personal
property taxes, taxes on fire and ma
rine insurance, mortgages and lega-
cies, and stamps and import duties,
and postage and electric light rates.

FOR REMEMBRANCE,
Research Clubs Appreciative Token
to Rev. and Mrs. Birnie.

A very handsome calabash was pre-
scented to the Rev. and Mrs. Birnie on
behalf of the Research Club last ev-
ening. The gift was in token of the
appreciation of the club of the servi-
ces of Mr.. Birnie and the interest and
hospitality of Mrs. Birnie to the or
ganization.
The presentation was made imme-
diately at the conclusion of Mr.. Biz
MES lecture before the club and it's
friends in the Sunday school room of
Central Union church. 1t was made
by j. T. Crawley, who expressed the
clubs sense of Indebtedness and obi
cation. In selecting the gift, Mr..
Crawley said it had been their desire
to choose something because of its
distinctively Hawaiian character rath-
er than because of its value. He hop
ed the token chosen would be re-
minder Of the grateful remembrance
the club would ever cherish for its
founder and gracious hostess.
The lecture was eNcellently attend
ed and keenly appreciated. Many of
the pictures shown upon the screen
were of places that since the time Mr..
Birnie visited them have become in
accessible to travellers. Egypt. Petra
and portions of the Holy Land were

ment occurs in news from abroad or

Stocks.-There was much interest
and curiosity manifested in Wall street
to-day re garding the Presidents mes
sage. When it was published it was
found to be so free of matter calculated
to effect the value of securities that
the course of prices was left to the in
fluence of technical causes. The re-
cent view of professional traders has
been that the message would prove TO
be a bull document, and they have
bought stocks recently under that con-
viction. Upon the publication OF the
message it was natural, therefore, that
this element should sell to take their
profits But the chief effect of the an
ticipation of the message was to cur
tail operations in the stock market.
This tendency was emphasized by the
absence of Geographic communication
with many points in the country owing
to the storm. There was not entirely
lacking, also. the proverbial disposition
of stock exchange traders to feeling
of timidity over the advent OF session
of Congress. There is something of
a prejudice in Wall street against some
of the measures which representatives
and senators assembled at Washing
ton design for the public welfare and
a desire to be let alone on methods for
the profitable employment of capital
against which congressional legislation
is at times directed. The prevailing
tone of the market, therefore, became
increasingly heavy as the day wore on.
There was a period Of comparative
strength in the morning and especially
in some of the stocks which showed
strength last week Metropolitan
Street Railway mounted strongly Az
nonts, and then reacted 21a on repli-
ling upon the increase in the quarterly
dividend to an annual Z per cent rate
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-12-06

from a per cent rate. Pacific Mail
and the Iron and Steel stocks contin-
ued moving upward, but reacted sharp
" before the close, particularly in Fed
eral steel. Sugar fuctuated quite If
regularly on the varying rumors con-
corning the status of the competition
in the trade. There was rather not
able advance in a group OF the Gould
stocks, and some of the low priced rail-
way shares were also strong. Z. S. ex-
press rose to 57s4 at one time, but re-
acted to SIS, and American express
dropped five points. The majority of
the standard stocks were, however,
notably dull and for the most part
heavy. This was especially true of the
grangers and the Pacifics. There was
some frmness manifest in the coalers
on the strength of the cold v,ather.
The bond market was decidedly more
active than stocks and prices were bet
ter maintained, though there was re-
action from best prices in the late deal
ings. A number of lately dormant is
sues were brought into activity and
moved sharply upwards. Total sales,
