Dillingham; and Hlo Company with
draw all Objections to the Franchise.
Charter viii be Granted.

The Hilo and Honolulu Railway Com
pany will have a charter.
There has been a mighty change in
the situation in the past thirtysiX
hours. All is due to letters received by
the China. f. NJ. Swanzy, one of the
promoters, is now in the East with Mr..
Brown.
This morning the question of a chart
er for the new concern came before the
Cabinet. Mr.. Dillingham; appeared with
a letter addressed to the Minister of the
Interior 1t was from himself and the
other officials of the original Hilo Rail
way Company.
This letter stated that the old Hilo
Railway Company withdrew all objec-
tions to a charter being granted to the
new Hilo and Honolulu Railway Com
pany to run a line from HilO into Ha-
makua and Kohala.
President Dole observed that if the
kick" of the old concern was at an end.
he had no objections himself to the
that the original application will be re-
submitted to the Cabinet and the Min
lister of the Interior will be instructed
to issue the charter as applied for.
The single question of the old COM
pany to the new was the name. It was
stated in the letter that there would
probably be confusion in the handling
of freights if the names of the two
roads remained so similar This sug-
gestion will be acted upon by the neT
concern to the extent that another name
will be adopted.

tation-Was a Strong Character.

PAIA, (MauD, June 15.--Makawao
district has of late been having more
than it's share of sorrow and sadness,
with the memory of last weeks sad af-
fair fresh and vivid, another shock was
received yesterday, when the news
spread that David Rough, head luna at
Paia, had breathed his last in the Paia
hospital, about o'clock in the morning.
Mr.. Rough first began to all just week
ago today, and on Friday last went to
the hospital with a mild attack of typ
hold fever. He had been doing well, and
was considered in no danger whatever.
He awoke in the morning in good spirits
and to all appearances improving. A
few moments before 6, Miss Fearn, the
nurse, was ministering to him, when
suddenly his face became livid, and be-
fore Miss Fearn could move, he was
dead 1t happened in one short mo-
ment without the slightest struggle.
Heart trouble must have caused it,
though there was no suspicion before
hand of any such failing. Physically
he was type of robust vigorous man.
hood, a tower of strength and energy,
and had never suffered i'll health
Mr.. Rough was born near Forfar,
Scotland, about forty-fve years ago,
and came to the Islands nine years ago
to take the position of team luna at
Paia, which position he filled continu-
ouSly up 10 TWO years ago, Wnen ne was
advanced to the head lunaship. He was
a man of good character, steady and in
dustrious, and applied himself earnestly
to his work, and leaves as the fruits of
his labor, quite a small fortune.
Somewhere about $4,000 is here in
cash and good securities, and it is
thought that he has property in Scot
land, where two brothers and a sister
survive him.
The funeral takes place this after
noon at O'Clock from the Paia Foreign
church, Rev. F.. G. Beckwith conducting
the service. The pall-bearers will be

MONEY WAS STOLEN HERE
MARSHAL BROWN KNOWS THIEF
OF THE ALAMEDA.
The $25, 900 Gold Taken Off in Honolulu.
Man Gets Away With His Booty to
the Orient.

1t is almost certain that the chest of
$25, 900 in gold, lost from the steamship
Alameda left the ship at this port.
In fact, Marshal Brown has in his
possession today almost conclusive evil
dence that such was the case. The man
who II is believed robbed the ship is also
known, but has skipped beyond the pale
of Hawaiian law. He is now in Japan,
and may eventually be caught, for the
Oceanic Steamship Company has pow
erful detective agency on his tracks.
The mans name is supposed to be
Wilson, an Australian. He has been sus-
pected in other such robberies between
Sydney and Auckland. When the Ala
media sailed from Australia, this man
was passenger for San Francisco. He
left the boat here on the 25. On June
he sailed by the Gaelic for the Orient.
Marshal Brown does not know just
how the thief brought his treasure
ashore, but the transfer is admittedly
! not a hard matter. 1t is presumed that
the thief had accomplices and they
| brought if off on a number of visits
aboard the ship at the dock. The coin
would weigh about 100 pounds. An
| other theory is that it was smuggled
ashore.
The loss of the money was discovered
when the Alameda was within two days
of San Francisco. The densest cloud OF
| mystery surrounded lne disappearance
of the box.
Chief Lees, of the San Francisco po.
| lice, took a chance shot and wrote Mar.
! shall Brown the bare particulars. The
| latter Immediately began an investiga-
| tion with the success given above.
| BY the steamer tomorrow the Sar
Francisco chief of police will be advis.
| ed concerning the suspected mar
and that he has gone to the Orient
! Most probably detective will at once
be sent to Japan and China to look hin
up. The supposition here is that the
man will double back" and in a few
weeks will be ranching or doing some
thing else in an out-of-th -the-way Aus
| tralian district.

Conference of Ladies in Y. NJ. c. A.
This Morning at Which the Ball is
Set in Motion.

Al a nieetihg of ladies held in the Y.
NJ. c. A. hall this morning the Honolulu
School of Cookery was established.
Mrs. John H. Soper was elected pres
ident; Mrs. w. f. Frear secretary and
Mrs. John osborne treasurer.
Most of the meeting was devoted to
informal discussion of the matter of a
cooking school. OF the fifty ladies pres
ent there was probably not one who did
not agree that such was not only advis-
able, but an absolute necessity.
Organization was completed. 1t was
decided to hold a mass meeting at the
Y. M. c. A. hall at $3.50 next Friday
morning, when a constitution and set
of laws will be presented for adoption.
All housekeepers of the city will be urg-
ed to attend the convention.

w. F. Frear, chairman; Mrs T. r,
Walker, Mrs. NJ. c. Widdifeld, Mrs. A
Fuller, Mrs. S. NJ Damon, Mrs. John
F. Soper and Mrs. John osborne.
The general idea prepared and pub
lished by the ladies some days ago, was
taken up by sections, discussed and
approved.

United States Troops Meet with I'm
forseen Difficulties - Filipinos Still
Employ Murder outside the Lines.

NEW YORK, June A Suns cable
from Manila says: Aggressive opera
tions were resumed yesterday against
the rebels to the east and southeast of
Manila, who have been active since the
withdrawal of the major portion of the
island General Otis recently planned
American forces from that part of the
to either capture them or again drive
them out of positions they had been al
lowed to occupy when our main body
was recalled for the campaign against

that big band of insurgents was en-
camped in the Taytay and Cainta hills.
reported to be under command of GEN
eral Pho del Pillar, and it was hoped to
trap them. \ force commanded by Bri-
gadier General Hall consisting OF
eleven companies of the Oregon regi-
ment, six companies of the Colorado
regiment and three troops of the Fourth
cavalry, dismounted, and one troop
mounted, eight companies of the Fourth
infantry and four mountain guns left
the pumping station at o'clock in the
morning with the object of crossing the
San Mateo valley for the hills and strik-
ing into the next valley beyond Anti
polo, thus getting to the east of Taytay
and Cainta. Then the force was to re-
cross the hills further south and take
these two towns in reverse
Meanwhile, Colonel Wholley, with the
washington ana Npiln Dakota feBl-
ments and one battalion of the Twelfth
regulars, was to wait at Pasig for the
extension of General Halls line in the
rear of the enemy. Then Colonel Who'll
ley'S command was to advance quickly
and close the trap. The plans were
kept secret as long as possible i'm order
to prevent any knowledge of the in
tended movement reaching the rebels
and the troops We're marched to the
front at a late hour on Friday night.
Unfortunately, General Halls advance
met with unforeseen obstacles and the
troops did not get free of the valley un-
til o'clock in the afternoon. General
LaWton, who realized that this slowness
imperiled the chances of bagging the
Filipinos, ordered General Wholley to
advance from Pasig without waiting

capped as the country covered today was
practically deserted.
During the night a Chinese litter

morning he was found with his throat

Arrangements are being made with
people on Maui for an exhibit of the
temperate zone products of the Islands.
The matter of sending the quintette

1t is urged that immediate action be
taken by those interested as the effort
is being made to have everything ready
for the Mariposa. Mr.. Logan hopes tC
be able to give a public view of the ex-
hibit before it leaves, so that people
may know exactly how the Islands are
being represented.

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.

chine examine the Singer before pur-
