PEACE PROPOSALS


expressing the desires Of the cabinet and
government that the peace negotiations be
opened, and they are given the added SOL
emnity Of the approval and earnest personal
request by "Queen Regent Maria Chris
tina"
The instructions bear the date of Madrid
July 25th. These formalities dismiss all
questions in the minds of officials here as
to the regularity of the Spanish proposition
as expressive of the wishes of the govern
ment of Spain.
No Surprise in Madrid
MADRID, July q, IL p. m.-The news that
the government is suing for peace has
caused neither surprise nor sensation here.
The attitude Of majority of the newspa-
pers shows that the country will welcome
peace If 1t can avoid the payment Of an in
demnity and the loss Of the Philippines.

United States will retain a coaling station
only.
Only few Carlist Republican and Inde-
pendent papers pretend that Americas de-
mand will not be acceptable.

play of sympathy for the court which, at

SUGGESTIONS.

be Formed on Monday.

Said a business man this noon who
is active in the organization of Hon
olulu's rapid transit company
81 shall use my influence to keep all
electric roads off of Beretania, King
and Nuuanu streets. | believe that
they should be made boulevards. The
lines could be laid on the next streets
running parallel to them. This would
give the residents on these highways
a splendid service and would be entire
ly satisfactory to them.
Careful planning on the part of the
organizers of the new transit compa-
ny and the cooperation of the gov
eminent at this time could make Hon
olulu one of the most ideal cities in
the world. The electric lines could
be extended out Queen street and al
along the beach road to Waikiki.
Another line could run up Hotel
street, connect with Young, and ex-
tend on out to Punahou. Another
line could operate on Kinau or Luna
lilo street This would give the Plains
a good service and would not incon-
venience people living on King and
Beretania streets.
"The Valley service would require
a line either running up Liliha or up
on the proposed River street, which is
to be opened between Nuuanu avenue
and Lilha. This would save Nuuanu
from being cut up with tracks, and
yet the cars would run within block
of all the homes on that avenue.
81 am of the same opinion as Mr..
Lowrey, when he says that this gov
eminent is invested with the author
ity to cancel the franchise granted 10
the English syndicate under the head
of eminent domain. Mr.. Paine's COM
pany has not begun to carry out its
part of the agreement i'm the fran
chise. The people of Honolulu want a
decent modern street railway system
and they are entitled to it. Such an
investment, it is my belief. would be
profitable. The money is here to build
a first class system, including a pow
er house. There is no need of consid.
ering the English company for one
moment"

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

them '97 Overland Special, which is

the Only Wheel in the Lot which
made the round trip without trouble
of any kind. OVERLANDS are the

BY the last Australia we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '07
product as daylight is superior to

the most beautiful models, and the
highest grade wheels ever shown here
