mission company also suffered minor
losses.
The first started in the building occu-
pied by Jones Bros. at SOL Main street
at shortly after midnight. and its in
fiammable contents burned with re-
markable rapidity. Within 20 minutes
the entire six stories were a mass OF
flames and burning embers were being
carried by a stiff breeze in all direc-
tons. Twenty minutes later Fart OF
the front wall fell with a terrific crash
and within short time the wall tot
tered and fell. crashing into the Hum
bolt building, five-story structure
across Sixth street, carrying down part
Of the latter building. In a little more
than an hour after the fire started, the
Jones stock was entirely destroyed and
nothing was left of it's building but the
foundation.
In the meantime the fire had spread
south to the Humbolt building, north to
Jones annex and Quinns grocery. all
had caught the old st. James hotel, four
stories in height. half a block north on
Walnut, the next street east The hotel
was partially saved, but the walls are
bulging out and the building will have
to be torn down. Absolutely nothing of
the stock of the Enrich Dry Goods
company was saved. and the building
occupied by the Enrich company is a
total wreck.
Two stories Of the Quinn building
were burned and Quinn's stock was
ruined. The other losses were caused
principally by water and smoke.
Every fire company in the city was
called to the scene and help was sent
from Kansas City, Kas.

capes from falling walls. Dan Dono.

LETTER is AMBIGUOUS.
Hawaiian Authorities Ask for Further
Instructions.

Honolulu, Oct. e. via San Francisco,
Nov. 5.-The Hawaiian government
has sent by the steamer China a re-
quest for certain other information re-
garding the letter and opinion of At
torney General Griggs respecting Brit
ish claims in connection with the 1895
revolution here.
The instructions, if such they may
be called. received by the steamer
America Maru appear rather vague.
President Dole does not construe the
letter to be instructions, strictly speak
ing.
In referring the letter back to the
Hawaiian government it Is stated
that it is resubmitted ''for considera-
ton and settlement" The question is
how far does it go? Does it mean set
tlement on a basis of Attorney General
Griggs reasoning, which is general in
character, or does it leave the matter
entirely in the hands Of Hawaii to do
as it pleases about it, the United States
holding to it's former policy of having
absolutely nothing to do with the ques-
tons?
President Dole thinks the matters are
again entirely in the hands of the local
government, or practically the old
basis. There are others, however, who
think, as the matters were taken up
years ago as the subject of diplomatic
w
Great Britain, they are pending in
much the same attitude; that following
annexation they must become mat
ter between Washington and London.

SHEEP GRAZING.
An Extract From the Report of the GEN
eral Land Office.
Washington Bureau of the Standard
M LIZ StIeef ~ w [

No. 1145 G Street, y. w.
Washington, Nov. 2.-One portion Of
the general land office annual report
not heretofore reviewed in this cores
pondence is that pertaining to sheep
grazing. The commissioner recounts
the refusal to permit grazing on the
Lewis and Clarke reserve, and the
granting Of permits for the Big Horn,
South Platte and Uintah. He recon-
mends that the Uintah reservation be
divided. and that the territory for
grazing be sold to the highest bidder
The commissioner says that the action
in each case was based on reports from
forest superintendent and superVis-
ors; and in many cases citizens, public
men, woolgrowers' associations. fruit
growers, water associations, and others
sent in reports and petitions for and
against sheep grazing in the reserves.
From all the papers received and
representations made in each case, the
office decided whether or not 1t would
entertain applications for sheep-graz-
ing privileges and recommend to the
secretary the issue of permits for the
same. If it was found that a reserve
or portion Of reserve where sheep
were in the habit of grazing would
not be injured, that the protection and
Improvement of the forests for the pur-
pose of securing a permanent supply
of timber for the people, and the con-
ldNoi dDit " d cbltluubuS water
flow, and that the water supply of the
citizens would not be adversely affect
ed by the presence of the sheep, the
office instructed the superintendent
that applications would be considered.
Only citizens of the United States. CT
those who had declared their intention
to become such. and who were resi-
dents of the state in which the reserve
was located, were to be allowed a graz
ing privilege in such reserve. Each up
plication was to receive the careful
consideration of the forest officers ne
fore approval by them, the number of
sheep, the excluded acres, and the
grazing period to be specifically con-
sidered. In all cases where it was de-
termined that sheep would work an in
jury to the reserves. the forest super
intendentS were advised that they
would not be allowed therein.

CORRECTED HISTORICAL DATA.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
The Historical reference" il your
issue of the 9th inst, from The
Hawaiian of March s, 1898, should
have received several corrections
before reproduction.
First. There were no grist
mills on, these islands in iS49.
Instead OF there being "two to
handle,thsI wheat harvest Of Maui"
wheat growing at that time was in
but the experimental stage in the
Matawao district, reporting pro-
gress. in 1850, with only about
100 bushels.
Second:-The fret -four mill
was erected in Honolulu in 1864,
near the site of the present boiler
chop of the Honolulu Iron Works,
and the following year, 1856, the
fret export OF flour, 463 bbls., ap
pears in our Custom House stat
istics.
Third:-Upon the destruction
of this -four mill by fire in 1860
a new one was erected in @. II.
Levers lumber yard and COM
menced operations May 81, 1861.
This new mill was situate we'll of
King street between the rear OF
LEVERS & Cookies Fort street store
and their yard Office, not near the
site of Hall & Sons store on the
corner of King and Fort streets as
stated.
Fourth.-At no time during the
existence of the Honolulu and the
Waikiki -four mills was their pro-
duct ever sent forth by "ship.load"
to "Herba Buens" or any other
port from the fact that wheat was
not grown in sufficient quantity to
warrant our sending GOALS to
wcastle."
The above can be verified by re-
ference to the Reports OF the Ha-
waiisn Agricultural Society and
the several papers Of those years.
Yours in the interest Of truth,
