TRAM COMPANY'S ELECTRICAL
START.
Matter of the Use of the Material Still
Under Consideration by the Govern
ment-Frst Shipment

The shipment Of fiat girder rails for
the new system of the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company arrived here by the
Annie johnson.
In the matter the company appears
to have ordered the rails and asked
permission later to use them. At any
rate the material is here and the Gov
ernment is still considering whether on
not it viii permit them to be used.
About a week ago an application for
approval of the rail was filed by the
Tramways Company with the Cabinet
Almost a whole forenoon was given tO
discussing the subject Under the law
only fiat rail may be used on Homo
lulu streets on account of the damage
to wheels of road vehicles by the r and
other similar rails.
Mr.. RoWell rather thought that the
fiat girder met somewhat the require
ments of the law, but was in doubt as
to the exact shape of the top. The
matter was referred back to him for
examination and report.
The rails now here are very heavy
each one weighing 1900 pounds They
are sixty feet i'm length. This is the
first shipment, there being others to
follow. 1t is the purpose of the Tram
ways Company to use the new rail in
their projected electric system. Four
cars for the purpose are already here

STRIKERS WILL NOT WORK PNGREES 5 POTATO FARMS
PLANTATION LABORERS STILL IN
TOWN.
They are a Small Lot of an Indiffer-
ent Class-Left Oahu and Honolulu
Plantations Yesterday.

The oahu and Honolulu plantations
are still out a few Spanish and Por-
tugueSe labOrerS who left Yesterday
and came into town. The runaWaNs
are thought to be a bad set, and the
plantations are not caring if they
never come back.
1t turns out that all of the stow
aways ran away. They would not
work from the first and were always
grumbling. The plantation people were
sick and tired of them before they had
been there two days.
The Spanish part of the contingent
went to DR.. Alvarez \Hnen they reach
ed town and that gentleman took them
to Mr.. Schaefer, acting Spanish con-
sui They filed a number of grievances.
Mr. Schaefer told them they could do
as they pleased about going back: that
it was impossible to remedy the evils
complained of. The consul does not
think the men are justified in their
kicks.
1t is learned today that certain people
have ViCiouSly attempted to SOW dis
cord among the new laborers at Oahu.
Waialua and Honolulu plantations.
There is also some rumor of it at Ea-
huku. The object seems to be to get
the laborers to strike and demand
more money
Plantation men do not fear that
there can be any great rush to break
contracts. The demand for laborers IN
town is easily filled, and a gang of
men coming in together would find It
hard to get work. Chances are they
would be glad i'm a few days to go
back to the plantations, if they could
get back. At the same time it is gen
orally recognized that contracts are no
+ longer binding, to the extent of being
fully enforced.

CONSOLIDATION WANTS FURTHER HSP|E FLAT GRNR RAILS HERE
PEOPLES ICE AND HAWAIIAN
ELECTRIC AGAIN.
Latter to Buy Out the Former-Peo-
hind the Move-New Deal.

The Hawaiian Electric Company will
hold a meeting tomorrow of unusual
importance. There will be a change
almost if not quite all round in otii-
GERS. William G. Irwin will resign
from the office of president and a new
man will be put in.
Another change that will probably
take place is the consolidation of the
Hawaiian Electric Company and Peo-
pies Ice Company. This will amount
to the abolition Of the corporate char
acter of the latter concern, the former
taking over the business of handling
ice. 1t is argued that the change will
obviate the necessity for two boards of
directors and two sets of workers, and
save expense.
The idea of some of the stockholders
is to vote a new issue of $150000 worth
of Hawaiian Electric Company's stock,
and with this to take up the $4,000
stock of the Peope's Ice Company. This
action will Immediately bring about
consolidation. Peoples Ice and Ha-
waiian Electric stock is worth about
the same on the market at the present
time if anything the former being a
little the stronger.
This whole proceedings began with
the move of Peoples Ice men some
ian Electric stock. They succeeded,
and now have control in both concerns.
The new phase is brought about by
this element of shareholders.
There is quite reserve fund in the
treasury of the Peoples Ice Company.
Before any deal for consolidation is
cOnsummated this money will be dis
tributed between the present stock
holders in the shape of a dividend.
Some of the stockholders of the Elec-
trio Company think this plan is the
equivalent of dividing up a water melon
among the stockholders of the People s
Ice Company.

Trial of Submarine Torpedo Boat at

on her practice run today, and aside
from the regular run of a mile under

discharged regulation Whitehead
torpedo such as is used i'm the Navy
The trial lasted one hour and a half.
w. r. EckhaTdt, consulting engineer
of the Union Iron Works, San Fran
cisco, took the plunge in the Holland
The torpedo, when discharged, took a
downward course and struck the bot
tom fifty feet from the bow. The cause
OF the detection of the torpedo off its
course was thought to be the disar-
rangement of the mechanism. Other
wise the trial was most successful.
Afterward the Holland, with Mr.. Eek
hart aboard, made a deep dive, com
pletely submerging the flags, which are
ten feet high. Five minutes later she
came to the surface.
Eckhart said he considered the boat
absolutely safe and practical, ana

ASKS FOR POsTPONEMENT OF
HANGING.
Case of Ihara, Sentenced to be Hanged
Next Monday, in a Peculiar state
and New Trial May Result.

The Kahuku rioting case came to the
fore again this morning in a petition
Of Ihara, one of the japanese convict
ed and sentenced for murder in the
first degree, for a respite in the mat
ter of his hanging. The hanging was
to have taking place next Monday
morning in the yard of Oahu Jail.
There is trouble about this matter
and the whole case may have to be
reviewed by the Supreme Court. Fol
lowing conviction last spring accused
was sentenced to be hanged on August
2Sth. The matter was appealed to he
Supreme Court on points of law. Chief
Justice Judd and Justices Frear and
Whiting heard it. Soon afterward
Chief Justice Judd was taken i'll and
no decision has ever been handed down.
In August a petition was filed before
Circuit Judge Perry to have the hang b
ing deferred, and on the 23rd, a post
pOnement to October 9 was signed. The
present finds the matter in the same
fix. Justices Frear and Whiting can
not decide the case alone. Judge Judd
is on the mainland travelling for his
health. The only thing to he done is
to postpone the hanging. 1t may be
necessary to have a new hearing alto
gether.
This morning Ihara filed a petition
for postpOnement. He states that even
should a decision go against him he
will apply to the President for COM
mutation of sentence, all of which he
will hardly be able to do if he is hung
Monday morning. A. G. NJ. Robertson
represents the petitioner
Ihara was the only one of the Ka-
huku rioters sentenced to be hanged.
Three others got long terms of imprs-
onment In the riot three Chinamen
were killed outright and a large num-
Der were wounded some badly.
