Ex-oUEEN GOES TO HILo.
Liliuokalani and Her Suite Booked
for Tomorrow's Kinau.

EX-Queen Liliuokalani is going to
Hilo. Passage was secured for her
on tomorrow's Kinau, this morning.
She takes with her two servants. DR..
English and Joseph Heleluhe also ac-
company her.
Her determination to make this
trip at this time seems to have been
arrived at very suddenly. None of her
friends outside of her own household
seem to have been consulted about
the matter or even advised that she
was going. What her plans are is not
known. Her private secretary declin-
ed to say anything about the matter
She has large number of friends
on Hawaii and there are several who
are in a position to entertain her
while there, but it is not known what
her plans are. 1t was suggested that
she might be the guest while in Hilo
of Ex-Governor John Baker.

WORK TO BE COMMENCED IN A
FEW DAYS.
To be Macadamized from King to
Vineyard Street-No More Work to
be Done on Union Street.

River street, from King to Vineyard
streets, is to be macadamized at
once and thrown open to traffic Min
ister King said this morning that the
work on the new street would be be-
gun at once and hurried to compile
ton, as the street is badly needed.
River street as at present laid out,
extends from the Ming street bridge
along the Nuuanu stream embanL-
ment to Vineyard street, crossing Ho-
tel, Pauahi, Beretania and kukui
streets. For the present the new
street will be macadamized only for
width of thirty feet.
Speaking of the widening of Union
street, the Minister said that moth
ing more could be done at present,
owing to the high prices asked for
property. There was $4,000 in the
original appropriation" he continued,
"and of this we have to pay the Mon
sarrat estate 81 800 for the corner and
strip taken o their property. We OBJ
tanned the Catholic church land need
ed by making an exchange and put
ting up a new fence for them. This
with the work on the street will cost
another $500. Sc we have just $4,000
left to continue the street through to
Beretania. Out of that we are expect
ed to pay for the condemnation of the
entire Howland property, all of
which except a small strip that will
be valueless for any purpose being re-
quired for the street, and strips off
the Pacific club premises and Bruce
Cartwright residence on one side and
the property extending from the How
land lot to DR.. Miners on the other.
At the prices asked for land in that
vicinity $4,000 would be mere drop
in the bucket to what will be needed.
Hence I have concluded to stop the
work at the Rowland property. The
really dangerous part of Union street,
that portion of it that wound around
the Monsarrat premises. has been now
Strengthened out and widened to fifty
feet and there should be no more fear
of accidents there. Anyhow it is the
best that can be done untR the Leg
islature appropriates the money nee

have been $13,25627.
The report of Mrs. j. Forbes. man
ager of Lunalilo Home, which is one
of the exhibits of the report, shows
the number of inmates on August T.,
1897, to have been 40, 81 of whom were
males and 12 females. Fifteen have
been received during the year and 16
have died, divided equally between
the sexes. Two We're discharged and

There have been more deaths this

The behavior of the inmates has
been good for the most part, though
there has been one case of extremely
bad and cruel conduct, for which the
individual was reprimanded and pun
ished.
Attorney General Smith in his re-
port of the condition of the Home,
says extensive repairs were made dur
| ing the year to the main building. 1t
was found that the stone of which it
was constructed was being injured by
exposure to the atmosphere, and act
| ing upon survey and report OF a
committee of architects and builders,
! the trustees caused the whole of the
exterior walls to be covered with two
coats of cement, which it is believed
will preserve the walls and prevent
| further deterioration. The Home has
continued to maintain its usefulness
and is ably conducted by Mrs. NJ. j.

SELLING SOLDIERS CLOTHES.

The United States authorities have
asked the cooperation of the police in
endeavoring to stop the trading in sol
diers' clothes which has been carried
on here to greater extent than most
people are aware of. Men from the
transports, especially some of the
regulars who passed through here
without any money, have disposed of
articles of clothing to Chinese for a
mere song, and it is desired to break
up the traffic. There is no law to
prevent the purchase of soldiers
clothes but there is a law against sell
ling them, as one Chinese has al
ready found out. He exposed soldiers
clothing for sale and was arrested for
selling foreign made goods without
the necessary license.
