1t is becoming apparent that
there has been some slick work
done by some one in connection
with the letting of the contract for
the construction of the government
building in Portland. There has
been strong effort made to have
the building constructed out of
Oregon material, and it was con-
ceded by the department that it.
should be given the preference, all
other things being equal. When
the architect was asked to disign-
ate Oregon stone in the specifica-
tions he refused on the ground that
he was not allowed to specify any
particular brand of material, but
was allowed to specify generally,
only. With this i'll miud and be-
leaving that the architect would act
in good faith Mr.. G. w. Davis, of
the Pioneer Stone company made
considerable of an effort to secure
the selection of Pioneer stone for
the work, and interested several
prospective bidders in the Pioneer
stone. But imagine the surprise of
Mr.. Davis and others Interested in
the matter to find that when the
bids were made out that stone was
directly specified of certain kind
and from certain quarry. The
stone fpecified is from a quarry sit
uated on the line between Wash
ington and Idaho and is called in
the specifications "Oregon stone"
The Pioneer people feel that thsy
have thrown down pretty hard in
the matter. They have had the
matter taken up oy Congressman
Tongue who is using his best eff
forts to adjust the matter in a fair
way. The Pioneer people do not
ask for any advantage in the mat
ter, only that the bids may be so
called for that they may furnish the
stone if they can do so with advan-
tage 10 the government. They do
not like to be shut ont of bidding
by some one that has a pull on
some place along the line. The
quarry that the stone has been sell
ected from belongs to Miles c.
Moore, a prominent politician of
the state Of Washington, and this
may possibly have had something
to do with the selection Of that par
ticular kind of stone.

Harbor Work,

Rep. Robertson yesterday intro
duced the following concurrent
resolution which was referred to the
Committee on Public Lands with
instructions to report on Thursday
"Whereas, the work of filling in
now being carried on in Honolulu
harhor is, in the opinion of the
Legislature inexpedient, inasmuch
as the locality being filed might
easily be dredged out and the har-
Dor thus made larger instead Of
smaller, and
Whereas, the Legislature desires
to specify the manner in which the
appropriations for wharf and harbor
improvements shall be spent.
"Be it Resolved by the Senate and
House OF Represe ntatives, That the
Executive be requested to stop the
work now being carried on in the
neighborhood of the old fish market
wharf until the appropriations for
Honolulu harbor improvements
shall have been passed by the
Legislature"
Senator Brown also asked the fol-
lowing question of the Minister Of
the Interior:
"Will you please state why tho So
called harbor improvements at or
near the old fish market are being
now carried on and at time when
this subject is in the hands of a
special committee OF the Senate for
investigation, and such committee
has signi6ed its intention of making
report upon a plan covering the
future wharf facilities OF the harbor
OF Honolulu"

Dancing for Charity.

At beautiful villa near Paris was
lately given charming fete, relates
"Tit Bits" Pretty women by scores
we're present, and the loveliest
among the party was Nine. T,
always eminently the fashion"
At the commencement Of the ball
a young gallant, the flower OF the
clubs, fastened to be fret to ask her
to dance.
"With pleasure, SIR" replied she;
800 francs"
MADAME replied the puzzled
cavalier.
81 said 20 francs, monsieur"
81 beg your pardon, madam" re.
piled he, smiling; "there is a mis-.
understanding. l had the honor to
ask your hand for a waltz"
"Ab, you are right" replied the
woman, quickly, "there was a mis-.
understanding. l thought you ask
ed me for quadrlle, but since it
is waltz it will be 40 francs.
More puzzled than ever, the gen
tleman wanted an explanation, which
she gave him, with gracious smile.
"Do you understand, sir, that 1
am dancing for the benefit OF the
poor? 1t is l louis for a quadrille,
2 for waltz, and no reduction in
price,"
At this rate Nine. T had no
lack OF partners, and bravely and
charitably danced to the close Of
the ball. Who but Frenchwoman
would have dreamed OF such
source OF revepu-i
