RAILROAD PEOPLE SAY NO
WILL NOT. ACCOUNT TO THE
GOVERNMENT.
New Phase of the Railway Wharf Mat
ter That VIII Bring the Whole Case
Into the Courts Once More

The Interior Department will not get
out of its railway wharf squabble as
easily as it seemed a few weeks ago.
In other words the Oahu Railway Com
pany Will make another fight for Its
terminal.
On the 18th instant, Minister King
addressed a letter to the company for
an accounting of the wharf receipts
since December, 1897, when the first
steps toward condemnation were taken
by the government On Friday last
the railway people replied refusing TO
comply. II is understood that the move
was made to secure a rehearing of the
case, and this point will probably be
carried. At it's session this morning
the Cabinet passed the following reso-
luton:
"Voted that, whereas. a letter dated
September q, 1899, has been received
from the attorney of the O. K. 81 l.. Co
replying to the demand made upon said
company by letter of September Is,
1899, for an accounting of the wharf
age receipts since the 9th day of De-
cember, 1897; which letter of Septem
Der 21st aforesaid declines to comply
with such demand, the whole matter
be deferred to the Encouragement
with instructions to institute proceed
ing to compel such accounting.
At the meeting today w. A. Mckay
was granted a light wine and beer IL
cense for Kukuihaee.
John de Mello was granted a similar
license for Keokeo, South Kona.
