HOUSE.

Rep. Pogue reported for the majori-
ty of the special electric railway COM
mittee on House bill 81, an act to ex-
tend the franchise of the Hawaiian
Tramways Company, Limited, to con-
struct and operate a street railway in
Honolulu, as follows:
"The franchise by which said cor
pOratfOn operates, was granted during
the session of the Legislature OF 1884;
to VIM. R. Austin and his associates
and assigns, or such corporation as
might be incorporated or organized by
him or them.
THAT an extension of time for the
completion and equipment of this rail-
road was granted in 1888 to extend to
September 18th, 1889.
''That the right to use electric pow
er was granted by the Legislature OF
1890 and extended by the Legislature
Of 1895, until January 1st, 1897; such
right having expired by limitation on
above date.
THAT the object of this bill is not
only to extend for SO years more, the
original franchise to VIM. R. Austin
and associates, but also to re-grant
the use of electric power or other
mechanical power
your committee further find on
careful and extensive inquiry, that the
service given by the said company to
the public in the past has not been
altogether satisfactory.
That there being a large majority
of the stock Of this company owned
abroad, none of the directors are resi-
n - ID ~Trl--
may therefore be strictly termed a for
eign corporation
THAT, inasmuch as there is another
bill before this House to grant fran
chise to a company to be composed, or
very largely so, of our own residents,
and that, by the terms of that fran
chfse, the directors and other persons
having charge, management and con-
troll thereof, shall be residents of our
Islands, that such a corporation could
be strictly called a domestic corpora
ton
1--WE consider that all domestic cor
pCrations should at least be allowed
the same benefits and privileges as a
foreign.
1--WE believe that the Hawaiian
Tramways Company, Limited, has
had ample opportunity and time to in
augurate electric power in the place Of
animal.
''Inasmuch, therefore, as this foreign
corporation has had ample opportunity
in the past, to make use of improved
motive power we would recommend
that our own people be now granted
the same opportunity, and that this
bill be laid on the table,
(Signed). w. F. POGUE,
SAM'L G. WILDER,
A. B. LOEBENSTEIN.
Rep. Aohi presented the following
report of the minority of the commit
tee on the same bill which, with the
report, was laid on the table
to be considered with the bill:
Your committee consider that it is
proper that certain privileges should
be given to the above mentioned com
pany SO as to enable them to dispense
with the hauling of their cars by old
mules upon the streets of the city; and
that they be allowed to extend their
lines to the streets which they ask for,
subject to the following conditions:
1. THAT they be allowed to charge
the same rate as is proposed by the
Rapid Transit Company.
2. THAT they give up their eX-

AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
Believed That the Hearst Free
Library Was Entered.
FOUND AN OPEN WINDOW
No Clue to the Identity OF the Intruders
Discovered - Nothing Was Dis
turbed-Janitor Heard Men
Tramping About.

1t is believed that an attempt was
made by burglars early yesterday
morning to break into the Hearst Free
library at the corner of Main and
Fourth streets. If the burglars really
did enter the building. they left with
out taking anything or molesting any
thing.
Officer Lebeouf, who is on the Main
street beat. was passing down Main
street early yesterday morning. When
he reached a point opposite the library
building. he was hailed.
Hello. there, officer; come here.
quick"
whats the natter" asked Lee
beouf. advancing toward the place
whence the cry came.
II think there's burglars in the IL
brary," said the man who had hailed
the officer. and who proved to be the
janitor of the building.
The janitor told the officer hat while
he was asleep in his room in the base
ment of the building. he had been
aroused by the sound OF mems voices.
which seemed to come from the room
above. He believed also that he had
heard the tramp Of mems feet.
The ~janitor and the officer entered
the building and turned on the lights.
Nothing could be seen Of any person in
the building. A thorough search was
made. but not a single book. paper or
picture seemed TO have been disturbed.
The officer then began TO search for
indications that would lead TO the dis
covery of whether or not m one had
really broken into the place. The doors
were all locked and everything seemed
to be in It's usual condition. Finally.
I'm his search. the officer came TO one
of the south windows. which he founi
open. The sash was raised about six
inches above the easement. was
all the signs there were that would
lend color TO the idea Of a burglary
having been attempted.
II anyone really did break into the
building the wonder Is what he eX-
pected to get. There is little or no
money kept in the library. only a few
dollars being kept In the safe for cur
rent expenses. A yandal who would
break into the library could certainly
not want books. for these he could get
for the mere asking. There are three
or four valuabl paintings in the build
ing which might tempt a thief, but he
certainly could not dispose Of them.
Strange as ~ may seem that a bur-
glar should attempt to enter a library,
and a free library at that. 1t Is never
theless a act that when the library was
located in the old building at the corner
of Third and Cherry streets. burglars
vice attempted to gain an entrance.
and IL is not at all improbable that a
third attempt was made yesterday
morning.
Burglaries, or attempts at burglaries.

James Kelly was arrested last even
ing by Assistant Chief of Police Frank
O'Brien. Kelly Is known to the police
as a vag Of the first water. Only q
week ago, he was released from the
Butte Jail. The prisoner was brought
up before Judge Kennedy last evening

words that his vile tongue could lay
hold of. He declared that he was a
union soldier: that he had fought for
his country m his flag. which was
more than O'Brien had I'VE done: he
had been a member Of the oath Wis

O'Rrien proceeded. but he didn't get
very far before Kelly again announced
the fact that O'Brien was a liar with a
good many frills to him, and further
proclaimed himself to be a union soldier
who had fought for his country and
his flag long before O'Brien was born.
Kelly had no respect for the law. the
officers or the court. He "cussed" them
all with equal vigor and vehemence.
He didn't care IL he were sent to Deer

wanted to say to O'Brien that he was

Death of q Universally Admired and

Most Estimable Young Lady.
The community was shocked yester-
day afternoon by the news of the death
of Mary Alice Ames, which occurred at
1:30 o'clock. When her parents. Mr..
n Mrs. George f. Ames, decided to
make this city their home a few
months ago, Miss Ames accompanied
her mother hither from San Francisco.
Her charming personality speedily won
her innumerable friends. upon whom
her death falls as a terrible blow. Her
illness vas of brief duration. although
h had not been. in robust health for
some years. When the family came
here from California II was hoped that
the change of climate would prove
beneficial to her, and for a while she
appeared to be regaining perfect health
and strength. Unfortunately these
signs were delusive. The sympathy of
the whole city goes out to the grief
stricken parents. The remains will be
Ike to San Francisco to-day for bur-
ial.

the commission at the evening session. He
was at Chickamauga three weeks in June.
Forty thousand troops were there at that
time" he said, "and the sick accumulated
very rapidly. Provision was being made for
them as fast as could be done. When was
there good many Of the sick were ON the
ground. There were only limited number
Of cots. Medical suppliesw were on hand to
limited extent. We never had difficulty
in having acquisitions recognized and en-
dorsed, but somehow it required an unusual
length of time for the things to get there"
DR.. Sem said he thought the men in charge
of the hospitals did very well, considering
that they were new in the service He con-
tinued:
"Of course, great many of the nurses
were incompetent, although they did the
best they could. l have no knowledge of
any nurse having been drunk at Chick
amauga. While l was there / saw many
sick men lying in their camp clothing, but
do not know how long they had been so. [
have heard that nurses emptied bedpans on
the ground outside the tents, but never saw
it. My impression of the division hospitals
were very favorable, considering the circum-
stances. l left Chickamauga when the ty-
phoid fever was spreading rather rapidly.
| doubt if isolation would have had much in
fluence to prevent the spread of typhoid. I
attribute the spread of the disease to the
fact that typhoid fever was brought to
Chickamauga by some of our state troops,
| also to poor sewerage"
In Porto Rico, DR.. Sem said he found the
hospitals in good condition. DR.. Sem rec.
commended the establishment of trained
and we'll paid hospital corps. He thought
the mobilization of troops in southern camps
detrimental to the health of tie soldiers, and
instead Of their becoming acclimated, they
were, in his opinion, greatly debilitated in
Chickamauga, Tampa and Camp Alger.
Benjamin j. Moore, second lieutenant of
Company X, First Illinois, who had yellow
fever at Siboney, had no particular com.
plant to make about his treatment at ST.

was perhaps inadequate.
