England's suzerainty the Real Issue
Of the South African Difficulty.

England's suzerainty the Real Issue
Of the South African Difficulty.
From the European Edition of the
New York Herald.
1t Ia growing more evident every day
that the real issue in the Anglo Boer
dispute Is not as to the franchise or the
redress Of Uitlander grievances general
ly but England's suzerainty, and that
II war comes 1t will be over this ques-
tion.
Whether with or without reason from
his point of view, Mr.. Kruger has long
had the suspicion or fear that Mr.. Cham
berlain's aim is not simply the redress
Of the grievances of which he complain
ed, but that he has Interior designs on
the independence Of the Transvaal Re-
public. Consequently the Boer Presi.
dent has Eought to couple with his
proffered concessions condition that
England would either renounce her
claimed suzerainty or stipulate not
TO interfere hereafter in the internal
affairs Of the Republic. Throughout
the correspondence his State Secretary
insisted that England had no suzerainty
rights and went 30 far as to declare
stat "from inherent right the Republic
is O sovereign State"-a contention
which Mr. Chamberlain pronounced
mot warranted either by law or history
and wholly inadmissibls.
Unless one side or the other recedes
from that stand evidently other
means than diplomacy must be resort
cd to for the settlement Of the issue.
There is not the slightest probability
that England will yield since to re-
nounce her suzerainty right would sim
ply be to surrender everything. If war
come 1t will be on the part Of the
Beers struggle for independence and
on the part Of Great Britain war for
supremacy in South Africa. Consider
ing Engiand's vastly superior power
the final outcome could never be In
doubt. whatever might be the initial
RESULT. The only question would be as
to its effect on the status Of the Trans
vsal Republic and with how much Of
It's present independence it would come
ont of the conflict. That Great Britain
would not stop with an enforcement tf
thu demand she has already made has
been publicly declardd BY Lord Sails
burr. a. we'll as by Mr.. Chamberlain.
Developing as it might into British.

TO THE MINISTER THE kAANAPALI WHARF.
REPORTED DANGER OF EARLY
DESTRUCTION.
Too Great Haste in Construction of
the Wharf is Alleged to be the
Cause.

The report comes from KaanapaH
that the new wharf just constructed
there is falling to pieces and will have
to be built over again The wharf was
built by the Pioneer Mill Company aud
is a stone dock, resting on a foundation
of cement 1t cost between four and
five thousand dollars.
The dock is said to be giving way
because of the softness of the cement
when the building was done. The ce .
ment was packed first, in sacks, and is
left to harden before any stone is put
upon it, It is said that in the work at
kaanapali not enough time was allowed
for the drying of the cement with the
result that the heavy stones placed
above it sank in and spread it out ana
now there is a prospect of a general
wreck. The structure placed above the
cement is OF great weight, consisting
of very heavy masses of stone.
At the Offices of the Pioneer Mill
Company in this city nothing is known
of any trouble with the wharf and it is
thought that if there has been any da-
mage due to the sinking of stones II
is not of very great extent. The wharf
is almost reay for use and the work of
getting a derrick in place is going
ahead.

.A BIG NEW MEAT COMPANY
TO COMPETE FOR LOCAL AND
ISLAND TRADE.
Halstead, Schweitzer and Others Capt.
talize at 100000 to Engage in This
Business-Details.

Honolulu will likely have another
meat company in the next few weeks.
Whether there is room for two or not
will have to be demonstrated. There
is, however a great deal of money be-
hind the new project.
The new meat firm will be known as
the Honolulu Market Company Limited
It's purpose is, modestly, to raise and
market meats, build, operate and sell
steamship, sailing vessels; establish
and operate markets on the other ISL
andS and to engage in about every other
kind of business one can think of as
pertaining to the original object.
The new concern will be capitalized
at 100000 divided into 200 shares of
$500 each. 1t will have the privilege of
increasing Ghis capital to $250000.
Edgar Halstead, president of the con-
cern, will own ten shares of the stock.
In addition to his duties as president he
will be treasurer of the company Sena-
tor A. Hooking, who is vice president.
will have ten shares. L. A. ROstin the
secretary, will hold ten shares and L.
Schweitzer, auditor, will have five
shares in his own name. Besides, the
latter will be trustee for 100 other
shares. A. Y. Schweitzer is mentioned
as the owner of the remaining five
shares.
This concern has been forming for
some months 1t is understood that it
has some formidable connections. Meat
will not only be raised but will be ship
ped to the Islands in very large guam
titles from the mainland. A regular
market will be opened up for fowls,
such as chickens and turkeys. Fowls
will be shipped chiefly from Washington
and Missouri. Cattle will be brought
from California and beef will also be
shipped down from the west.

The Iwilei and Kamehameha stations

horses which il is expected will have
to be accommodated here i'm the near

be able to keep about twelve hundred
here at a time.
There are about five hundred horses
now at IWilei. Lieutenant DOrCy is in
charge of the station, with about 20
enlisted Cavalrymen, 20 quartermaster's
clerks and a number of civilian team
sters. New quarters are being built
for the men and horses. Arrangements
are also being made to secure more

used.
At Kamehameha the accommodation
are smaller but are being increased To
allow room for about five hundred
horses. Covered stables and pastures
are to be provided, so that there may
be as little loss as possible from the
sickness that naturally develops among
the animals after the change of Clim-
ate from the Mainland to here

about $4,000 The stables and other

the buildings now being erected
The large number of horses recently
placed in the quarantine station have
nearly all been gradually removed To-
stables and pasture, the sickness among
them being almost without. exception
merely due to their sea voyage or the
change of climate.

Washington that the American Govern
ment, tired of Continental troubles re-
garding Samoa, and determined 10 put
an end to them, has proposed a division

Tututla and Manua, that Germany
should take Upolu and that England
should take the Savaii and Rose Island.
The proposal is not final, and is only
put forward to invite an exchange Of
views. The United States is prepared

THAT TREASURY BALANCE
is BEING FULLY CONSIDERED
BY FINANCIERS.
Attorney General Cooper Says There is
Nothing to Prevent it Being Loaned
Out If it is Needed.

The public treasury balance and the
wisdom or necessity of letting out
part of it to the banks for the relief of
a real or imaginary financial stringency
has been a common topic of discussion
today.
There was considerably difference of
view in the opinion of bankers pub
llshed yesterday. The opinion of Bish-
op q Company is in line with the policy
of Minister of Finance Damon, and is
not in conflict with the expression of
other banks.
AS far as can be gathered financial
men are unanimous in the opinion that
81, 200, 900 is a great deal of money to be
kept idle in the public treasury. At the
same time when the same men, come to
consider the question of loaning it out
they are not always in favor of it.
Besides the banks, there are the
Bishop Estate, Lunalilo Estate, Wide
mann Estate and fifty other trusts
which make loans on certain classes of
security
Considerable has been said on the
line of the cry, "EXpend the surplus on
public works" a review of the appro-
priation bill at the office of the Minis
ter of Interior shows that practically
every dollar appropriated by the last
legislature will be expended. This
applies both to the current receipts
and loan accounts. No other appro
priations can be made, of course, with
out authorization of the legislature.
In the meanwhile the customs and
postoffice receipts, amounting to $1,000
900 a year, will probably be taken over
by the central government. If the
legislators think in February that the
cash balance is too large they can, as
pointed out by leading financiers, make
appropriations at once for public works
and schools.
Attorney General Cooper said this
morning: 4 expected a letter from the
bankers butit has not come in If the
community needs the money there is
nothing in the way of it's getting it.
There is no law for or against the gov
ernment letting out its surplus. In a
case like this the needs of the people
should dictate the governmental course
and l am sure it will.
MY term as Minister of Finance ad
interim will expire next Sunday. In the
meanwhile a Minister will be appointed
to succeed Mr. Damon. Therefore,
do not suppose I will have anything tC
do with the matter after this week.
have only to add, as my view, that the
surplus public funds are available to
the banks. If the people really need the
money, it should be let out; If they dc
not absolutely require it, the best place
for it is in the Government vaults"
