These are days Of hustle and activ-
ity at the race track in Kapiolani park.
Those who are responsible for the an
imals expected to perform on the 10th

Lecture at Punail III.

The students Of Oahu College were
very appreciative of a thoughtful lee
ture delivered In Pauahi Hall yestcr-
day morning. For the address Presf-
dent Hosmer introduced Tneo. Rich
ards, formerly principal OF the Kane
hameha School, and now field secre-
tary for the Hawaiian Board. Mr..
Richards, always an earnest and en-
tertaining speaker. is at mis- best when
talking to young people. and was es-
pecially en- rapport yesterday morning.
THE Moral and Spiritual Side Of Ed
ucation" was given as the subject OF
the lecture. Mr.. Richards made an ef
fectiye presentation OF his views. and
drew largely for the occasion from the
writings of Professor Henry Drum
mond, dwelling at considerable length
upon the life and labors OF that great
and helpful philosopher. The address
Of the morning was voted as one Of
the very best Of the term.

ey for current expenses, but 1t could
not authorize loan. The members
of the Hawaiian Commission believe
that the enabling act will be passed
early in the Congressional session tina,
is to open In December. However
there are other men who have visited
Washington recently who think that II
may be one of the last things to re-
ceive attention during the long session
At the next session Congress will have
about as much business at hand as the
body has ever faced at any time. Mr.
Dole says that the idea of doing away
with the election here originated In
Washington. The Government here
had followed the policy of proceeding
with administration under the laws
and the Newlands resolution, and had
called the election as matter OF
course. While the proclamation comes
somewhat in the nature of a surprise
its provisions are entirely acceptable
to the local Government, and there will
be no inconvenience or complication
unless the passage OF the enabling act
is delayed beyond February.
1t did not take very long for news OF
the receipt Of the proclamation and
the verdict Of the Cabinet upon 1t to
get down town. The comment was
quite general, but the interest was not
at all deep. This community is now
so busy with business that 1t cares for
little else, and a number of men who
have done much for the political ad-
vancement of the country remarked
that 1t was relief to know that there
would be no election, as there was nc
crying need for the joys of a campaign
without issues and only for the choos
ing of Legislature that might never
| sit.

"All attorneys are requested to sign

trance to the courtroom In the Judi

clerks desk. Appended to 1t are the
signatures Of most Of the lawyers and
law firms Of the city. 4t.
1t is proposed to lay away the law
books on the shelves and let them
get dusty for two weeks. Litigation
Is simply to come to a standstill for
fortnight. The legal fraternity feel
that they are overworked and that q
vacation is absolutely necessary. Dur

MATERIAL FOR PLANTATIONS

The o. r. & l.. Co. is simply over
whelmed with freight going and COM
ing. Brick, rails. pumping machinery
and water pipe are being shipped to
the various plantations along the road.
Honolulu plantation has been receiv-
ing a good portion Of the material,
10000 brick, an entire pumping plant
and quantity Of rails and pipe hav-
ing been shipped during the last few
days.
Waialua and Oahu have each re-
ceived heavy shipments of lumber.
pipe and pumping machinery, together
with number of cane cars.
Freight cars are always loaded to the
doors on the return trip. Oahu is
turning out over 100 tons of sugar
every day, and this will soon be in
creased.
Waianae will probably start up again
tomorrow after having been shut down
for about three weeks. Eva, Waia-
lua, Kahuku and Honolulu plantations
are turning out sugar right along.
Work is going on rapidly in many
lines at the wharf. The new warehouse
is rapidly assuming shape. 1t almost
joins the old one and is slightly small
Ter. The new sugar carrier for loading
ships is working like charm. There
have always been two ships at the
wharf during the last two weeks, and
the carrier has been running to its full
capacity.
Foreman Hughes, of the car shops,
is one Of the busiest Of all the railroad
people. In addition to the regular
freight cars, of which a great many
are needed. he is engaged in building
cane cars for the plantations and reg
ular passenger coaches for the road.
Manager Denison takes flying trips
over the line quite often in order to
see that everything is kept in good re-
pair. He always uses the gasolene
flyer" which has fully come up to
Everything represented for 1t.
The development of the Oahu Rail
way and the increase in both its
freight and passenger traffic is some
thing phenomenal, but entirely COM
porting with material advancement all
around. 1t Is only two and half or
three years ago that the system was
called a white elephant and that sug-
gestions that 1t be abandoned for an
electric line were rife. The pessimist
was in the saddle in the days when
there was grumbling because In rail
way construction section OF old Gov
eminent wagon road was torn up or
disturbed In some way for few days
Now everyone praises the railway and
wishes 1t we'll and wants to extend II
In every direction. The company will
not be satisfied until the line belts the
island. 1t is expected that SO soon as
Mr.. Kuegel, the chief engineer. can
be spared from Hawaii, where he Is
surveying for the Hilo railroad, that
lines will be run again for extension
from Kahuku. Figures will be made
OH both the Kalihi valley and Wal
manalo and Diamond Head routes. The
prospects for extension have been con.
siderably frightened lately by the
growth Of plants for a cane estate In
the neighborhood Of Kaneohe.

Transport Due.

The United States transport Grant,
from San Francisco, was expected last
night and the Government coal barges
were moored at the Oceanic dock In

effort will be spared by United States

At the Cabinet meeting here Satur-
day it was promptly decided to pub
lish the foregoing. There was little or
no debate on the subject. With the
enclosure from Washington, there was
confidential note. The substance Of
this accompanying communication was
in effect that probably the Hawaiian
enabling act would become a law be-
fore the time for the next session of
the Island Legislature. President Dole
believes that this is both the under
standing and intent or purpose of
President Mckinley, who has from the
first shown a keen personal interest in
affairs Hawaiian. In the note with
the proclamation there is a reference
to the money saving that will be made
by the avoidance of an election.
Congress convenes in December
next. February. 1900. is the time for
the gathering of the Legislature here
that would elect a successor to Mr..
Dole. 1t is taken by Mr.. Dole that in
case of a vacancy in the present men,
bership Of the Legislature 1t would be
necessary to have an appointment
made from Washington. Mr.. Dole
says he expects the Legislature that sat
in 1898 will meet again at the proper
time in February next. unless the en-
abling act is passed by Congress at
Washington in the meantime. 1t Is
assumed that the functions Of the Leg
islature would in no way be impaired.
It's most important work, aside from
the election Of President, would be
to make the required appropriations
for the ensuing biennial period. In
