IN DECAY
Former State Carriage of
King Kalakaua.
Exposed to Every Kind of Weather
The Vehicle is Rapidly Break
ing to Pieces.

Exposed TO the winds and rains and
the heat of the tropical sun, personal
relic of the kalakaua monarchy stands
decaying, breaking to pieces in one of
the back streets near the waterfront. It
is the old landau, State carriage of the
jovial King, which was bought for him
in the early sos. It's former splendor
is gone; its painted parts have peeled
off, the gilt and furnishings are fouled
and rusty, the interior fittings in Mo-
rocco leather are ripped and hanging in
shreds-but upon the side panels of
the doors are yet to be plainly seen
the once brilliant and gilded coat of
arms of the former Hawaiian monar-
chy. The landau stands solitary and
unmatched amongst the wrecks of
many carriages Of less distinguished
career in front of the dilapidated build
ing which was the official residence of
the Duke of Edinburgh during his
memorable visit to Honolulu in July,
1869.
The old carriage is yet a stately OBJ
ject in the hulk-row despite the lack
of care to which it has been doomed
In its day the landau was the cyno-
sure of all eyes when King Kalakaua
graced it in company with his liveried
driver, footman and tiger. 1t came
from England and was greatly adj
mir hxyT hn rIn Of
his death the carriage has had many
vicissitudes, and was finally bought at
auction by its present owner, a promi-
nent gentleman Of this city, but for
lack of room and having no immediate
use for the vehicle it was allowed to
remain where it is now standing
To those who are lovers of relics
and of those things which are asso-
ciated with the lives of the great per-
sonages who form a part of the his
tory of q nation, the exposure Of this
once State carriage of Hawaii's former
King to the elements will be learned
of with regret. In every European
country, in Mexico, and even in the
Orient, the State carriages OF the for
mer monarchs are preserved and
looked upon almost with veneration.
and certainly they are valuable addi-
lions to the great museums of the Old
World. Yet here in Honolulu stands
this carriage about which so many as
sOciatiOns could be revived It's place
is in the Museum and not in this Sara
gossa Sea of hulks.
The old building behind it, too, has
its associations of the days when the |
royal Duke was entertained there and
received at dinner the King, Kameha- |
meha ". Then it was mansion fac
ing on the seafront, stately and grand |
in those days, with it's great pillared |
portico. It was refitted and handsome
ly furnished for the occupancy of the |
Duke and suite and every arrangement |
was made for the proper reception |
and entertainment therein for this.I
scion of royalty. In this mansion the |
hlng and suite were entertained at |
dinner, and many were the gay as
semblages gathered there.
Today it stands wreck of it's for
mer dignity and stateliness. and with
the rapidly decreasing usefulness of
the lonely carriage, which, too, bore
royal sciOns, witness to the decay of
royalty

CONTROL RESERVOIR SITES.
New Regulations By Interior Depart
ment Regarding Them.

Washington, June 24.-New regula-
tons for the control of the entry OF
reservoir sites on the public land will
soon be issued by the interior depart
ment. The secretary of the interior
department has been considering the
necessity of additions to the regula-
tions formerly issued under the act of
Jan. Is. 1898, relating to reservoirs for
livestock.
The law and the regulations issued
under it have been greatly abused by
repeated locations of those who seek
TO monopoliZe the public lands TO the
exclusion of those who want to locate
hines. In one instance in Kansas, one
person located several hundred contig-
nous tracts as reservoir sites. In a
limited section in one county in Ne
braska 500 locations were made.
The new regulations will limit the
right to these sites to those actually
engaged in breeding, grazing and hand
ling stock, and then to the actual ne
cessities of each applicant. They will
also provide that if a reservoir site is

The ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of st. Josephs church will take
place today at o'clock. The event is
OF considerable Importance to ogden
citizens generally, aside from any
question of creed. The edifice will be
one of the most handsome places of
worship in the west, and will involve
the expenditure of perhaps S15, 900 be-

stand as a tribute to the pluck and
energy of the Catholic citizens of Og-
den, who have persevered under diff
culties and have triumphed in the face
of many obstacles.

Claims That the United States Has
Broken Treaty.
RELATIONS ARE STRAINED
EXPORTERS ARE SUBJECTED TO
MANY ANNOYANCEs.
Peace Conference Subject of Discus
sion In Berlin - Dissatisfaction

sions - Anti-strike Bill Wrangle

Copyright. 1899. by the Associated Press
Berlin, June 24.-The trade relations
between the United States and Ger
attention. The chief agrarian organ,
the Detsche Tages Zeitung, leaves no
doubt that Count Won Kanitz' motion
for a modification of tariff of 1879 as
cabled to the Associated Press, June 16.
was aimed at the United States, and
was intended to counteract the differen-
tial treatment Of German sugar and
reciprocity concession to France. The
paper reiterates the charge that the
United States has broken the most IA
vored nation clause of the treaty with
Germany and points to the claims of
exporters of the alleged annoyances
they are subjected to by the United
States custom officials.
The report of the Society of Berlin
Merchants and Manufacturers claims
the United States custom officials arbi-
trarily raise invoices without regard to
the prices paid in the country of orr
gin. and it is claimed the United States
custom methods operate especially to
the disadvantage of German manufac-
turers upon which a drawback has been
paid. The report further asserts the
price proven TO have been paid in Ger
many should be accepted as final in the
United States and adds that the pros
pect of better treatment of foreign eX-
ports is very slight.
The Gera chamber of commerce re-
port also complains that the United
States tariff policy is growing more
intolerable" and sees no prospect of
finding a market to replace that of the
United States, hence it concludes, the
export of textiles is threatened with a
narrowing market in the immediate fu-
ture.
The Elberfed chamber OF commerce
complains that many looms in Germany
have to stand idle because the usual
American orders have not arrived, and
says: THE Dingley law is having Sc
rious consequences in Germany. The
exports of textiles are declining"
Discuss Peace Conference.
The peace conference is much dis
cussed. The fact that DIR. Zorn was
accompanied to Berlin from The Hague
last week by Frederick Hollis secretary
of American delegation. WAS much
commented upon.- The Hamburg cor
respondent sees proof that the Ameri-
cans at The Hague considered it i'm
portant to act in harmony with the
Germans. 1t is believed that the Ger
man government is anxious to try
every practicable method with the
other great powers. and especially Rus
STA and the United States, to reach an
agreement.

fed with the Samoa commissions de-

corner of the structure, and it's top is
to be 100 feet from the pavement.
History of the Movement.
The story of the movement resulting
in the construction of the new St. Jo-
seph's church begins back prior to 1891
,, At that time plans were drawn and the
present foundation laid for the edifice
This, as will be remembered was boom
year-or, rather, the year of the COZ
lapse, when the values of Ogden real
estate and other property went down
and down. 1t was deemed prudent to
suspend the work of buildings for a
time, as it would have been impossible
to secure all the money subscribed
without at least working severe hard
ships on the donors. The foundation
was protected and it was all along I'M
derstood that the building would be
completed. Meanwhile, however, the
community had grown in numbers. st.
JoSeph'S school for boys and the Sacred
Heart academy for girls, both located
at Ogden, had become recognized as
model institutions of their class
throughout all the intermountain coun-
try. The frame church on Twenty-fifth
street was entirely inadequate for the
demands of the Catholic worshipers in
the city of Ogden. Through persistent
work and generous donations the
church debts had been paid off, and
about six months ago, under the ener-
getic lead of Rev. p. NJ. Cushnahan,
the work of raising funds for the new
church went on. Over $1,000 was raised
by the Catholic fair last winter, but
most of the funds for the edifice are by
private subscription.
New plans were called for and the
present ones finally selected from sew
eral submitted.

day still regarded as one of the greatest
triumphs among the many ambitious
works of Augustus st. Gaudens, and,
in fact, one of the greatest statues of
modern creation.
The great emancipation is represented
as standing in an attitude of medita-
tion, advanced step before a great
bronze chair. The statue stands on
granite pedestal four feet in height in
the center Of broad stone platform ap-
preached in front by a low flight of
granite steps and surrounded on the
other sides by granite bench and bal
ustrade.
People look at the Lincoln statue and
say, "He struck the shackles from
5000. 900 slaves" Then upon the bal
ustrade, carved in granite, they read the
immortal words from the hero Gettys-
burg Grafton, "With malice toward
none, with charity for all, with firm
ness in the right as God gives us to see
the right, let us strive on.
AT the foot of the broad granite steps
is a great sphere of granite, like an
enormous cannon ball, on which is en-
graved the emancipation proclamation.

municates feelings Of nobleness and
goodness

earth he may, if he be rich in character,
