W. w. Hall was happy yester-
day over the prompt and generous
response to the appeal made on
behalf of the pupils and teachers
of the Maunaolu Seminary, who
lost their clothing and effects in
the fire that destroyed the build
ings. After having sent away to
the sufferers two large cases pack
ed full of clothing and material,
L. O. Hall & Son received enough
more yesterday to pack another
case as tight as it could hold. And
still articles were arriving. In all
probability there will be two or
three cases go forward in the
Claudine on Tuesday evening.

LAST NIGHTS ACCIDENT.

The horrible accident Of last
night brings to the mouth of every
citizen the query: Who 10 re.
sponsible? At present writing
there seems to have heen neglect
somewhere, and it behooves the
Marshal to make a most searching
investigation at the inquest that
will be held, and furthermore to
give all the details of the inquest
to the public. Electricians here
do not have the snow and ice, the
heavy winds to look out FOR that
make the life of many electricians
in the States miserable and put
people in the street on the look
out for live wires.
Last nights storm was not
particularly serious one and the
conclusion is Immediately jumped
at, that there has been either neg
lect in looking after the\lines or
the government has been slow in
furnishing the necessary supplies
to keep the lines in first class con-
dition. As it is impossible at this
time to know the exact status, the
public will do well to withhold its
judgment of where the blame, if
any, rests. 1t is TO be hoped that
the government has not been
banking too heavily on the secur
itv which infrequent storms might |
give. Only short time ago, the
BULLETIN published an &C
count of the escape Of |
the Kluegel child from a live
wire. Whatever the verdict of the
coroner's jury, there should GER
tainly be e general overhauling of
the electric lines throughout the
city to place another disaster be-
yond reasonable possibility.

been a general agreement to dis
agree. 1t started in with the
Merriam affair and winds up with
the Police Court and Board of
Health troubles. The Merriam
business brings to mind the truth
of the saying that great aches
from little toe corns grow. The
attitude toward the commanding
general resulted in general stand
ing on dignity all along the line, and
as time passed the situation be-
comes a case of worse and more
of it.
If some scheme could be evolv-
ed whereby a peace protocol
could be signed and love feast
INDUCED in, it would be highly
satisfactory to the people OF Homo
lulu TO say the least. The situa-
ton is anomalous to say the least.
We have called for the American
strong right arm for years, and
now that it has arrived a series of
more or less official rows are set
on foot. The people are inclined
to hold the army responsible
because they have never had any
trouble with the American Navy.
As the people did not get along
very smoothly under some of Col.
rulings, it is natural to
draw the conclusion that Homo
lulu is not thoroughly educated in
the ways of the army. What is
done cannot very well be undone.
The best thing under the circum-
stances is for the people to realize
that there are certain army rules
and regulations that must be fol-
lowed and it is not the desire of
the officers to intentionally make
themselves disagreeable. On the
other hand the army officers will
add peace and good will to the
situation by not being too quick to
get on their highest official horses
and ride over temporary obstacles
in Phil Sheridan style.

Wilcox, but not until three hours

MIR. STEWART. AND PINE PILES Refuses to Give the Lowest Price for
 Such Timber.

George w. Stewart, the manager of the Pacific Company, in alluding to the allegation that he was receiving a larger price for piles than is usually paid by. the Harbor Commissioners, would neither af firm nor deny the report.
 He. claims to have. quoted prices to the board in direct competition with the other lumber dealers whose names were mentioned In the original bfd,: and his price. being the most favorable to that body for. what reason he will not say he was awarded the contract.
 He emphasizes the fact that he did not receive more than the jobbing price for his lumber by entering into a long dis cussion of the relative prices of piles and the competition war that is being waged by the lumber companies of the State for the disposal of this kind of ma terial..-
 the subject of the value of pine lumber for the months of October, November and December of last year, and he re- fused to cite the lowest price for piles during that time, giving as an excuse that 1t would involve several hours of fatiguing search of the records. The price at which piles were disposed of however, during those months is as fol- lows: For October and November the re- tail, 5obbing and cargo prices were s16 SIS and s11, respectively; December the thousand.
 Stewart claims that last month prices were cut by some of the lumber com panies to $6, but he does not admit the Pacific Pine Company is one of the cor porations that made the reduction.
