TUESDAY NEXT,
WATER DAY.
Contract to Be Executed by
P. H. Flynn and the
City Officials.
EIGHT P. M. The HOUR
Final Conference Today-In-
strument as Published to
Stand Intact.

ssunless something unforeseen happens,
the water contract will be duly executed
in this office next Tuesday evening at
eight o'clock"
This statement was made by Mayor
Hoos today in his own Office in the City
Hall. after he had been in conference for
three hours and half with Contractor
P. H. Flynn, Judge Augutus Van Wyck,
the New York Gubernatorial candidate,
Flynns counsel; Lawyer William D, Ed
wards. Henry Belden, Allan L. McDer-
mott, John Wahl Queen and Finance
Commissioners Midlige and Ringle.
The conference was one of those red
hot affairs which occasionally jar the
foundations of Mr.. Datzs Monstrosity.
At one period of the discussion Mr..
Flynn declared that he would not sign
the contract under any circumstance.
Mayor Hoos was unmoved.
..You will either sign the contract /
want or there will be no water contract
at ALL" Mayor Hoos is reported to have
replied.
The contract which is to be finally exc
cuted, is the one which Mayor Hoos
caused to be published about four weeks
ago. An accurate copy of it appeared in
1.-The Jersey City News" Since Mayor
Hoos approved the award there has been
much speculation as to the cause of the
delay in signing the contract. Mayor
Hoos would say nothing more than that
he was doing his whole duty to. the city
and that he did not propose hurrying
through a matter of such great import
ance Pollution and the prevention of the
contamination of the supply were sup
posed to be the points the Mayor stood
en- 1t developed today, that the trouble
has been over proposition of Mr..
Fiynn's counsel to make certain modifica-
tions in the contract which was pub
lished Mr. Flynn wanted a supplemental
contract made and in that document he
wished inserted all the concessions re-
quired by the city, particularly the five de-
manded by Commissioner Ringle.
Mayor Hoos listened to the supplement
tai contract proposition and then an
nounced that he would not countenance
it. He wanted the contract, as published,
executed or none.
AT todav's conference the supplemental
contract was waived and Mr.. Flynn con-
sented to accept the contract on the basis
outlined by the city officials.
Mayor Hoos is much pleased with the
Outcome of his fight. He says:-"l have
done my duty to the city"
Tuesday night Mr.. Flynn and his coun-
sci win be on hand to execute the inn
portant document.

The cablegram from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received with
surprise by the officials here. No one
knew, or at least would admit that he
knew, the nature of the political rea-
sons which the Admiral says demand the
immediate presence of the peerless bat
tleship.
The cablegram was taken to the cabinet
Admiral, it is said, fully feels that the
moral effect of the presence of the Dig
ship upon the insurgents themselves, and
particularly upon that large element
among the Filipinos that is believed to
be restrained with difficulty from joining
fortunes with Aguinaldo, with whom their
sympathies lie would be good.
But there is an underlying doubt wheth-
er or not the Admiral may not be keenly
sighting a gathering cloud in the East
and is looking to the prevention OF any
possible intervention or interference by
progress in the neighborhood of Manila.
1t is believed that in the big fires much
property OF foreign residents and business
concerns was destroyed. That these fires
were caused by the insurgents cannot be
denied, and it may be that some of the
foreign naval commanders in the East
are disposed to seize upon the pretext
that their interests demand protection,
which we cannot afford Them to making
a landing or doing something obnoxious
to the United States and likely to eneour-
age the insurgents.
with such strong naval, force as
would be afforded by the reinforcements
of Dewey's fleet by the Oregon, there
could not be any sound reason, nor even
a plausible reason, for any such action
on the part of third parties.

to medieval times, when the loving
cup was still regarded as an indis-
pensable feature of every banquet.
The cup would be filled to the brim
with wine or mead, in the center of
which would be placed a piece of
toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto, the host would pass
the cup to the guest of honor seat
ed on his right hand, and the latter
would in turn pass it on to his right
hand neighbor. In this manner the
cup would circulate round the
table, each one present taking sip
while drinking toward his right
hand neighbor, until finally the cup
would come back to the host, who
would drain what remained and
swallow the piece of toast in honor
of all the friends assembled at his
table. History teaches that the an
cient Greeks, the Romans. the AS
syrians and the Egyptians were in
the habit of drinking one another's
health at dinner. Indeed, at Atl,-
ems, the etiquette concerning what
may be described as the liquid
courtesies of this kind was verv
strict and elaborate, being known
by the name of "Philotlesis."

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.

The unparalleled prosperity that
has attended Hawaii and the ste
cess of every enterprise that has
been promoted during the year past
calls forth expressions of wonder
from all tourists whose privilege it
is to have visited Honolulu. When
it is considered that the production
from the islands exceeds $3.50 per
capita of population, nearly twice
that of any other spot on earth, the
matter ceases to appear so surpris-
ing.
Since the beginning of the year
stock companies have been organic
ed with capital aggregating over
fifteen millions of dollars. The
capital of each one of the COM
panies was subscribed three and
four times over, indicating a most
surprising amount of wealth. In
almost every instance the stocks
have sold at premium immediate
ly after the organization of the var
ious companies showing that the in
vestments were largely speculative.
People have been asking them
selves, where will it all end?
A reaction seems to have set in
the past few weeks owing doubt
less to the stringency of the money
market, that cannot be relieved until
the dividends are paid and accounts
settled. The financial question will
become a troublesome problem for
bankers and capitalist to solve when
the assessments are called in on
assessable stocks. There is not
enough money in circulation to
meet the demands of business.
This difficulty will be partially met
by the First National Bank of Ha-
wall which is bank of issue. 1t is
a.. understood that Mr.. B. F. Dilling-
ham also proposes to establish a
bank.

The Voices of Hawaii.

The fall of the Dupuy ministry in
France, though ostensibly upon the
question of police outrages was
really caused by the Dreyfus affair.
General Boiseleffre and General
Mercier ought to be punished for
their share in the matter, but it was
thought by large section that Du-
puy would shield them. Under
these circumstances advantage was
taken of the police outrage ques-
ton, and an overwhelming vote
given against the ministry.
Frances ministries. however, are as

Squatters, in Hawaii, is a new
term, and the public will wait with
bated breath to know just what
claims these people have. The
Newland's resolution has been the
cause of more hours of debate in
the courts than any of the lawyers
in the country ever dreamed of, and
up to date the arguments have
amounted to very little SO far as re-
suits go. This question of Squat

means to settle upon unoccupied
lands. The Olaa squatters contend
that that particular land is unoccu-
pied, and that they have the right
to settle upon it inasmuch as it has
been coded to the United States.
and as yet the organization is in
complete. In the United States the
squatter's acreage is $40 acres and,
unless the writer errs, he must set
tile upon the land before the organi-
zation of the territory.-The Hilo
