No COMPROMISE WANTED
RAPID TRANSIT MEN CAN GO 1T
ALONE.
Proposal of Any Deal With the Hawai-
ian Tramways Company Would be
Opposed by Stockholders.

There is an immense and growing
feeling on the part of stockholders OF
the Rapid Transit Company against
making any deal whatever with the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company, on the lin
es proposed by Mr.. Pinkham, or on any
other lines. Sentiment seems to be-
against contact in any way. 1t is felt
that the Rapid Transit has all to lose
and nothing to gain by negotiations of
any sort.
We went into this thing to get an up
to-date street car system" says a
principal stockhOlder I'VE have the
money to pay for it and propose to have
it. Except rights to a few streets the
property and business of the Hawaiian
Tramways Company is not worth the
powder it would take to blow it up
disfavor any suggestion to give the
Hawaiian Tramways Company any
hand in the new system. 1t strikes me
that, with past experience, people are
fools to talk of such things The man.
ager of the old concern has shown clear
ly what he is. We want absolutely
nothing to do with him. AS for me, and
a majority of the stockholders are with
me, l oppose even allowing Mr.. Pain
TO subscribe for stock in the Rapid
Transit Company. We want the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company and it's
people to just keep their fingers out
We are able to run our own affairs.
Il oppose any scheme for purchasing
the property and rights of the old com
pany. If proposition so to do is sub
mitted to us there will be such kick
that it will not come up again. Talk of
selling out to them or consolidating in
tereSts should be sat down on good and
hard by stockholders and the commun-
lty at large. Nothing can come of a
scheme of this kind. Sentiment is too
much against it, The Hawaiian Tram
ways Company has a dead horse on it's
hands and, of course, wants to trade or
sell 1t. We have a better horse of our
own" .0.-
Rapid transit people are really much
concerned over the matter. There Is,
apparently unanimity or sentiment
among them against making any deal
whatever with the Pain outfit on any
terms that may possibly be proposed.
If deal of any kind is insisted on from
certain quarters there is a possibility of
a wholesale withdrawal from the COM
pany The war cry seems to be touch
not at all"

LABOR DAY IN HONOLULU
A MONSTER CELEBRATION FOR
MONDAY NEXT.
Tradesmen Will Have a Holiday, May
Join in a Parade and VIII Dance at
the Drill Shed That Night.

Honolulu will observe Labor Day this
year for the first time. AS is perhaps
well konwn the first Monday in Septem-
Der is a holiday all over the mainland
and in large cities is the occasion of
demonstration and celebration by the
laboring classes.
The movement for an observance of
the day originated with the mechanics
in the Honolulu Iron Works. At a
meeting held Saturday night a commit
tee, representing al the departments of
the establishment, was selected to ar
range the celebration. Mr. Dugan, a
boilermaker is at the head of the COM
mittee.
A big dance is the only thing thus far
actually determined upon. Yesterday
the committee waited upon Colonel
Jones and Minister Mott Smith and
was given free use of the drill shed for
Monday night. THE invitation to the
dance will be general" explained Mr.
Dugan this morning Whether a man
gets a dollar a day or is a millionaire
at work in his office he is a laborer and
belongs with us on this day of days
I'VE wanted to have a parade as they
do in the East, but fear we have not
time to arrange it. Most of our effort
will be along the line of making the
holiday general. We wish to see work
ing men in all arts and professions
free on that day. AS it has now be-
come as much of a holiday as Thanks
giving or Fourth of July, we do not
think this is asking too much.
AT a meeting of the committee to-
night we will prepare a petition to the
Government to allow it's employees off
on Monday. This is done all over the
mainland, in all of the states, and
would therefore not be unusual for this
Government to do.
Between now and Monday we will
communicate with men in all of the
trades and endeavor to get them off for
the day and have them all join together
for the celebration"
If parade is arranged each division
of the laborng element will carry a
banner. The drill shed, for the reception
and dance, will be elaborately decorat-
ed. An effort will be made to have a
brass band present There will be a full
set of ball committees.
a Labor Day celebration will be a
novelty in Honolulu and will be the
subject of special interest. Never be-
fore has such a thing been attempted
/ or even, so far as known. thought Of.

THE TRANSVAAL.
War Preparation Continue-TrOOps
Move to the Frontier.

LONDON, August 19.-The latest
franchise kite from Pretoria has failed
of its expected effect. 1t is merely re-
garded as a device to gain time. There
is no cessation of the war preparations
on either side. The Transvaal Govern
ment is beginning to move troops to the
border, and the police on the frontier
have been ordered to strictly prohibit
any cattle leaving the country, while
the treasury of the republic is receiving
large amounts of gold beyond ordinary
requirements.
Field Marshal Lord Wolsley, com
mander in chief of the British army,
was in consultation at the War Office
yesterday with General Neville Gerald
Littleton, assistant military secretary,
and the headquarters staff. Tenders for
an immediate supply of large stores of
forage and general stores were under
consideration. Six months supply of
compressed forage for 10000 horses has
already been sent out,
1t is already reported that Colonel
Hector Mcdonald, recently appointed
to an important Indian command, but
who has delayed taking up his post, is
really waiting to be ordered to South
Africa under command of Lieutenant
General Walker, who relieves General
Sir William Francis Butler as COM

WRECK OF A BUGGY.

this morning and that the vehicle
smashed into the tree. Both shafts.
two wheels and a part of tie - ly If
the buggy are ruined. One of the shafts
sunk several inches into the tree At the
time of the collision.
Mystery surrounds the case, for the
reason that no one has appeared TO
claim the rig and nothing can be learn
ed concerning it. The assumption is
that no one was in the buggy and that
it came in from Waikiki or that direc-
ton.
