NEW RAILROAD FOR MAUI
RUDOLPH SPRECKELS BEHIND
THE ENTERPRISE.
New Line of Steamers Between Island
Ports Projected, to be Extended
Eventually to the Coast.

A new line of steamships between
Honolulu and every other port in the
Islands, and eventually between the
Islands and the Coast; together with
a railroad connecting Haiku and La
haina on the Island of Maui are also
things of the immediate future.
The Maui Railroad and Steamship
Company, a California corporation,
has just filed with the Minister of the
Interior it's certificate of incorporation
and other necessary papers to entitle
it to commence business at once. Al
fred S. Hartwell is made the attorney
in fact of the corporation to secure Its
license here, and John II. Hackfeld is
named as the person upon whom pro-
cess in the Republic is to be served.
But Rudolph Spreckels and the in
terests he represents are the promot-
ers of the enterprise.
"We expect to have a line of steam
ers running between this port and ev-
cry other port in the Islands very
soon," said Mr.. Spreckels yesterday.
Eventually we expect to have line
between the Islands and the Coast.
We propose to build, commencing as
soon as the work can be commenced,
a line of railroad from Haiku through
Paia, Spreckelsville, Kahului, Wailu-
ku and Waiehu, to Lahaina. We will
build branches from Wailuku to Wal
kapu. from Spreckelsville to Kahului,
and another to Maalaa Bay.
"Our charter authorizes us to build
and operate railroads: to build wharfs
and to charter, build and buy steam
and sailing vessels, and to engage in
transportation among the Islands or
on the high seas"
Mr.. .Spreckels said he did not care
to discuss the arrangements that may
| already have been made for the pur-
chase or construction of steamships,
but he gave assurance that steam nav
| igation among the Islands, both for
freight and passenger traffic would be
commenced very soon by his compa.
ny.
The corporation is capitalized at
S15O,OOO, of which 100000 has already
actually be paid in. The directors OF
the corporation are Thomas B. Bish.
op, Guy c. Earl j. Fl. Sandford, Henry
F. Allen and B. j. Hoffocker. These
are all residents of San Francisco, ex
cept Earl who is resident of Oak
land. Thomas B. Bishop is president

Sandford, secretary, and the Bank o.
British Columbia, treasurer.

HOW POLYNESIAN RACES REGARD
ROYALTY
Former Rulers Cared Very Little for
Independence if They Could Retain
the Title of Native Princes.

Editor Star: In the letter of Mr..
Theo. II. Davies to the Hawaiians,
permit me to suggest that he fails to
apprehend the natural sentiment of
the people. They care, first of all, for
Monarchy in itself. For "Independ-
ence" or the Flag" they do not so
much care, so long as they can keep
their own Prince. Mr.. Davies talks of
surrendering Monarchy in order to
keep independence. That. to the ma
tive view, would be giving up the end
to secure the means. 1t would not
be, as he puts it, cutting off the arm"
Doing away with the Monarchy cuts
off the head, and the nationality per-
ished Herewith.
Both Kalaniopuu and Kamehame-
ha cheerfully rendered sovereignty ov-
er their kingdom to king George"
Independence was of no account to
them. They craved protection. So
with native Hawaiians now. They
would cheerfully accept japanese or
British sovereignty, so long as they
could retain native Prince, and ma
time Home Rule. Smaller kingdoms
in the olden times gladly accepted the
sovereignty of Babylon or Persia, and
paid tribute for protection, while
keeping their kings.
To a Polynesian uneducated to the
thought, o Republic means loss of
power, loss of nationality. A native
monarch is essential and indispensa-
Bile. Nr. Davies has struck the wrong
chord. for which he will not expect
ArnPXationists to be sorry
u is satisfactory to find Mr.. Davies
admitting the great faults of the Ha-
waiian monarchy. It is what we have
a right to expect from his high per-
sonal character. He is avowedlv con-
WINGED that Monarchy is no longer
practicable in this civilized and pro-
gressive community.

SENATOR HORNER'S CHARACTER
EULOGIZED.
Chaplain Pearson Makes Touching Ac-
acknowledgements to Throne of
Grace, of the Senates Great Loss.

The Senate adjourned Immediate
ly after the opening exercises, out OF
respect to the memory of the late Sen
ator Horner.
Chaplain Pearson made feeling ref
erence to the loss the Senate has sus-
tained. In his opening prayer, in al
lusion to this death he said:
''Oh thou holy and eternal God, pos
SCISSOR of all wisdom, all power, unto
Thy will we humbly bow. Thou hast
bereaved us and our hearts are sor-
rowful. Thou has laid Thine hand up
on one of our numbers-a co-laborer
and official-and has taken him TO
Thy kingdom on high. We lament his
departure. But, o Lord we are glad
to have been permitted to know him
and be associated with him. We glad
ly call to remembrance his fortitude
and courage, his fidelity to duty, his
interest in his fellow man, his devo-
ton of his country. May we emulate
his nobility and service. May this or
der of Thy providence cause us to
remember that our days are fleeing by
and that soon they all will be number
ed. Oh God, call us not hence until
our work is done. May we live in the
consciousness of duty done, in right
eousness and truth. and at the last
may hear Thy welcome: We'll done,
good and faithful servants.
Bless, Oh Lord, the loved ones of
our deceased member, sustain them in
this their great afiliction, and may
thy peace abide with us all forever.
Amen"
Senator Waterhouse offered the
following resolution which was unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That in the death of w.
Y. Horner, Senator from the Second
District of the Republic of Hawaii,
the Senate has lost an exceedingly
valuable member and the country an
honest and patriotic citizen. He was
man of few words, but conscientious
and faithful to his principles.
Resolved, That a copy of these res
olution be furnished the Executive
and the family of the deceased
Resolved, That the Senate do now
adjourn out of respect to the memo
! ry of the deceased"

about the good qualities of the Sterl-

SMALL CRAFT CAN TIE UP.
Captain Campbell Rushing Work on
Hilo's Wharf

Superintendent of Public Works
Rowell, who has just returned from
Hawaii, reports the deep water wharf
at llilo fast nearing completion, as far
as pile driving and placing is con-
cerned.
Captain Campbell, who is in charge
of the wharf construction, states that
were he to continue the work of pile
driving to the finish, he would not
have time before the end of the pres
ent month, TO complete much of the
planking and other necessary work to
be done. He has decided to stop the
work of pile driving within the next
week or two and take his entire force
of men and try and finish up the
wharf to the end of the piles driven.
The wharf had reached a depth OF
from twenty-one to twenty-five feet
on Saturday. The approach to the
wharf is being filed up.
As the wharf is now, small vessels
such as the Hawaii and the Lehua can
easily tie alongside and discharge. the
only drawback is occnsioned by the
wharf being unplanked.
The boat wharf is very nearly COM
pleted. Drilling was in progress dur
ing the past week on large rock tow
ards the shore end of the wharf. The
approach to the wharf is heing filed
in and nice wide road will be soon
finished

LUMBER TAKESA BIG JUMP
LOCAL RATES ADVANCED NEARLY
FIFTEEN PER CENT.
High Freight Rates From the Coast
Cause the Change-Still Higher Pri-
ces redicted-Lumber Charters.

The price of lumber in this city and
on all the Islands was advanced $3.50
per thousand. yesterday, and a still
further advance is expected. All OF
the local dealers agreed upon the ad-
vance, so that there will be no cut
ting in prices. The advance in rates
is due partially to a general upward
tendency of rates on the Coast, but
more particularly to the scarcity of
lumber carrying vessels, and conse-
quent high freight rates.
The lumbermen of the city were all
loath to make the advance. as trade
has been exceptionally good of late,
but margins were pretty close before,
and when they were compelled to pay
more for the product and for freight,
the consumer had to stand the raise.
Lumber is now selling on the basis of
$50 per thousand Northwest through
out. The new rates went into effect
on March /.
A prominent lumber man on the
Coast predicts still further advance
in Oregon and Washington lumber OF
from 80 cents to 81 per thousand,
which means prosperity for lumber
men in that portion of the country. 1t
means higher price for lumber here
for time, perhaps, but as the output
of the Northwest mills will probably
be increased. it will be but short
time before prices come down a notch
again.
1t is understood thnt lumber chart
ers to this port are now $3.50 per thou
sand againstS4.50 a thousand. which
was the figure two months ago. The
rate to Hilo is said to he 81 per thou
sand. The lumber carriers will make
big money at these rates.

WHAT THEY WANT.

At a meeting of the Citizens Central
Committee of Hilo last week, Superin-
tendent of Public Works Rowell was
invited to be present. The committee

RUSSTA'S ADAMLESS EDEN.


While Russia does not rank as thor
oughly up to date and progressive in
all lines it will surprise many people
to learn that there is in that coua-
try a district which is wholly admin
istered and for the greater part of the
year exclusively inhabited by the fair
sex. 1t comprises some fifteen square
miles in the province of Smolensk. In
the early spring all the able bodied
males emigrate in search of work to
the large towns. and remain absent
for nine months or more, leaving their
wives and daughters to cultivate the
fields and manage local affairs gener-
ally under the presidency of the May
Dress. Before nightfall the women are
said to assemble at a sort of club
house, and play cards until ! or 2 in
the morning Moreover, against the
return of the men folks they brew
quantities of braga, or small beer, and
cook numbers of piroghis, or patties.
This Adamless Eden is one of the
most prosperous and best conducted
portions of the empire, and the Czari
ma takes a strong interest in its wei
fare.

WITHHOLD THEIR CANE.
Insight Into the Troubles of the Por-
tuguese Mill.

According to the IIilo Tribune, the
whole trouble between the manage
ment of the Portuguese sugar mill and
the planters has arisen out of the con-
struotion Of clause in their contracts
made. Under the contracts the plan
ters are given the option of having
their cane ground for half the sugar
or having the cane weighed before the
fuming and being paid so much for
the cane per ton.
Some of the planters maintain that
the mill is not in n condition to grind.
and that the Juice extraction is far be-
low the AVERAGE. For these reasons
they want their cane weighed and to
be paid for ner ton before the same
is humed. They claim that the man
a~emort won't accept on the above
condition and hence the whole sub
stance Of the trouble
