decided that cars used in Interstate
traffic were not subject to tax, all Pull
man cars save one are so used in this
State In the absence of any specl1c
law the rolling stock of the company

the Commission to raise the valuation
Of the company's property to SIoO,O0O
was asking for blood money.
Colonel Hinsdale next spoke for the
Governor Replying to the assertion
that the company is not a railroad com
pany, Colonel Hinsdale said:
IF Il lumber company engages III the
business of passenger transportation,
shall it not subject itself to be taxed
as Il railroad? This is a part of the bus
mess Of railroad company. The fuil-
man Palace Car Company is engaged
in transporting passengers on IT'S own
abroad cars for fares collected by ITS
own conductors. Whatever instruments
are used in such business must be taxed
as railroad property. 1t cannot escape
taxation by clubbing itself Il ''car com
pany" instead of IL RAILROAD company.

fact that it does not own its motive pow

WORK IN HOUSE

Grievance and Speak.
Complain of Members Of Oahu
DeIegation-A Sample Half
Days Work.

Upon the adjournment of the House
of Representatives the other day,
Mr.. Loebenstein was observed to be
striding up and down the big hallway
in a nervous manner. He approached
Mr. Richards, the other member from
Hilo, and said: Il have a strong no
ton to go home by the next boat" Mr..
Richards replied: IF the salaries act
was out of the way I would take the
next boat for HilO." Upon being ques-
continued: "It is all very well for the
Honolulu members to allow the House
to go on day after day without any
thing being done. We have accom-
pIished really nothing at all during the
past week Members from the outside
cannot attend to their private business.
Some of the Oahu men expect all the
Representatives to adjust themselves
to the convenience of q few private
interests They come late, or remain
away altogether. Then there is too
much maneuvering on some of the acts.
Now this afternoon the income tax
bill came up. It's friends were without
enough votes to pass it, but they had
enough to adjourn. They might have
gone to work for an hour or two on the
twenty-five or thirty other acts on the
calendar, but instead they adjourned
and another whole afternoon is wasted.
This is not business
Mr.. Robertson, who gives lease in
court as an excuse for absence from
the House, was approached with YER
sion of what had been complained of
by Loebenstein and Richards. Robert
son, Gear and Atkinson are among
those most severely censured by the
outside members for hardness, absence
and refusals to agree to evening ses-
sions. Mr.. Robertson gave an account
of the particular adjournment men
toned by Richards that agreed with
the Hilo mans story. Then Mr. Rob
ertson said that some of the Senate
and House members had made a COM
pact to kill both Schedule "E'' and the
income tax act and that it would not
do at all to have both measures perish.
AS to why consideration of the income
tax act had not been postponed and
other acts taken UP, Mr.. Robertson
said: Probably that ought to have !
been done"
If the House does not reform radi
cally in it's working methods, the in
diligence of an additional thirty days
for the calendar will not be more than
half enough.

Sad Experience OF Some New
Men on the Charleston.
The old salts on the Charleston
have a joke on great many of the
new men on that cruiser. During the
first day out there were % of the re
cruits taken with chat bothersome
ailment known as seasickness. They
were given special orders to feed the
fishes on the starboard side but a
great many of the men, not knowing
one side of the ship from the other,
Internationally disobeyed orders.
They were forgiven and ordered not
to repeat the offense. However, the
seasick ones got bravely over their
troubles and Remembered the Maine
to the extent of drilling every day.
One bluejacket of the Charleston
was sent to the hospital yesterday
morning on account of an injury sus-
tanned to one of his arms on deck
while on the trip from San Francisco.

Hawaiian Sailors.

Year after year Hawaiians are TAX

left recently have taken quite a num-
Der of natives. Yesterday morning.
Kahumoku, Keo and Kale all signed
as members of the crew of the Amer
lean ship A. J. Fuller which is to
leave for New York on or about
Thursday. The weather in the vicinity
of Cape Horn does not seem to brighten
them in the least. The masters of
vessels who have had to do with Ha-
waiian sailors say there are no better
to be had. They never complain and
are always cheerful about their duties.
Then again they are most efficient in
the work about a ship and seem to
have fear of nothing whatever.

conference for the purpose of Sc
curing real and lasting peace
among the Powers, and the termi-
nation of the progressive increase in
ornaments as conveyed in note
from Count Muravieff, the Russian
foreign minister, 70 the foreign
diplomats at St. Petersburg, is
likely to produce sensation
throughout Eyrope, and, coming
from such Of quarter, and with
such evideX sincerity of purpose,
it is likely to have important eff
feets)
There is no doubt that with Rus
STA taking the lead in such step,
Germany, France and the other ma
tions will be ready to follow.
The text of the note follows:
THE maintenance of general
peace and the possible reduction
of the excessive ornaments which
weigh upon all nations, present
themselves in existing conditions
to the whole world as an ideal to-
ward which the endeavors of all
government should be directed.
The humanitarian and magaani-
nous ideas of his majesty, the en-
peror, my august master, have
been won over to this view in the
conviction that this lofty aim is
in conformity with the most essen
tial interests and legitimate views
of all the Powers; and the imperial
government thinks the present
moment would be very favorable
to seeking the means.
international discussion is the
most effectual means of insuring
all peoples benefit--a real, durable
peace above all--putting an end to
the progressive development of the
present ornaments.
"In the course of the last twenty
years the longing for general ap-
peasement has grown especially
pronounced in the consciences Of
civilized nations: and the preser-
walton of peace has been put for
ward as an object of international
policy. 1t is in its name that
great States have concluded among
themselves powerful alliances.
at is the better to guarantee
peace that they have developed
in proportions hitherto unprece-
denied their military forces, and
still continue to increase them
without shrinking from any sac
rifice.

have net yet been able to bring
about the beneficient result de-
sired--pacification.

London, August 29.-The Daily

declares that the disarmament
olive branch would have emanated
from Emperor William. in Jerusa-

ing perhaps NJ. Honataux, had not
forestalled the Emperor's project.
Editorially, the Chronicle says:
The Cars encyclical is assuredly
one of the most striking docu-
ments Of the century. 1t could
only have been more dramatic if
the Kaiser had issued 1t from the
birthplace of the Prince of Peace.
Looking to the present attitude
of Russia in the East, the proposal
almost takes ones breath away. A
cynical view is painfully obvious.
Russia has just secured series Of
vast territorial and diplomatic ad-
vantages which it will take years
to assimilate. She is face to face
with famine, a revolt of the Poles
is threatened, and she is threatened
by other powers, and there are
signs of dissolution of the Russo
French alliance. Happily, the hui
manitarian view is equally clear
and convincing"
