A RAPID TRANSIT ROUTE
WILL GO THROUGH KEwALo TO
WAIKIKI.
Gives UP Beach Road to Follow Exten-
sion of Queen Street-District to Be
Filled In.

The Rapid Transit Company has a
new plan for reaching Waikiki on the
sea side. If all arrangements can be
made the track will not be laid on the
beach road at all, but will follow a new
line above, to become the extension of
Queen street. This extension will run
parallel to the beach road all the way
out to the road at John Ena's.
The electric track will be laid on
Queen street to Kamakee street. AT
that point the Government will take
up and extend Queen street to Ena's,
as indicated above. The Rapid Transit
Company will then build on this line,
giving up it's rights to lay track on
the beach road. 1t is understood that
nearly or quite all of the property own
ers along the line have agreed to give
rights of way in consideration of the
improvement, and the increase in value
it will bring to their property. In a
few days they will sign the releases.
The road will open up section of the
city hitherto sparsely settled. There is
a vast area of land down there that may
then be occupied. A large section be-
longs to the Ward estate, considerable
to w. G. Achi and a number of kulea-
mas to natives. The road will probably
double values in a short time.
The Bishop Estate decided over a
year ago that as soon as eXpedient a
dredger would be purchased to fill up
the low land in this locality. With the
building of the electric road through
the district the time has arrived, and 1t
is understood that the estate will now
go right to work

MARVELLOUS SALEf LAND I'm THE SOUTH Of CHINA
THIRTEEN TIMES THE UPSET
PRICE.
Sixty-One Acres Near California Col
ony at Wahiawa Brings S4,OOO-Byron
O. Clark Talks.

An immense price was obtained at
the land office today for a lot in the
Wahiawa track, near Waialua, occu-
pied by the California colony. 1t
brought 1900 per cent over the upset
price, or figure the Government was
prepared to accept. The upset price
was $500; the land brought "a, 900; j. D.
Dole, nephew of Governor Dole, was the
purchaser.
Edward Boyd, acting for Commis-
sion Brown, was auctioneer. He an
nounced that there were 81 acres in the
lot, none of it titled land. The pur-
chaser would pay in instaments and
would be required to live on the prop
erty three years.
A woman started the bidding at 1905.
This was raised successfully by IS up to
$iOO. There were at least half dozen
eager bidders, Pretty soon the figures
began to grow bigger, until $4,000 was
reached and the land was knocked
down.
When the California colony settled at
Wahiawa the land was not supposed
to be worth very much. On this SUP
position they paid very little for it. De-
velopment began and the powers of the
land was soon patent. The lot sold this
morning is the last i'm the tract not oc-
cupied and planted.

WILL DENOUNTE BOXERS
TO HOLD INDIGNATION
MEETING.
Awful Deeds of the Chinese Mobs to
be Denounced and sympathy Ex-
pressed for Their Victims.

Following the example of the Chinese
Chinese residents of Honolulu are pre-
pairing to call a mass meeting for the
purpose of expressing sympathy for the
massacred Ministers in Peking, and to
condemn the deeds of the lawless Box
ers under the notorious Prince Tuan.
The news of the destruction of the
foreigners in Peking and the details of
the horrors practiced upon their help
less victims by the Boxers aroused the
deepest Indignation among the Chinese
here, both of the reform as well as the
conservative elements. Subsequent ad-
vices from the States brought the de-
tails of Indignation meetings held by
the Chinese in Los Angeles and San
Francisco where the strongest resolu-
tions against the lawless mobs in China
were passed.
Several prominent Chinese merchants
have interested themselves in the plan
to call such a meeting here and today
they were busy visiting their friends in
Chinatown and arousing interest in
been printed but unless the meeting is
held tonight formal notices will be sent
around the city announcing such
a meeting. The rooms of the United
Chinese Benevolent Society will be
used as a place of meeting. Leading
Chinese will make speeches and every
thing will be done to show that the law
abiding Chinese of this community
view with horror the crimes committed
by their erring countrymen.

TIE CRUISER GE|ER HERE.
GERMAN WARSHIP GOING TO
CHINA.
Chance for Her Officers and Men to
See Plenty of Fighting in the
Orient

The long expected German man of
war Geier arrived yesterday afternoon,
coming direct from Acapulco, Mexico,
on her way to China, and thus miss
ing a number of receptions which Ger
mans of San Francisco had planned in
honor of her call. She is the first Ger
man war vessel that has been in Ho
nolulH for many months.
In the old days when HawaiiS ma
tionality was a matter of doubt the
powers We're wont to regard this port
as one at which they ought to be rep
resented in some force, but now that
the United States has taken hold, men
of war are not needed. The Geier will
make all possible dispatch for the far
East, joining Germany'S fleet there
She called here for coal
The Geier is a fourth class cruiser, of
1900 tons. She is a powerful looking
vessel for her size, and has something
of the fierce, projecting bow that made
the Protet, the French cruiser which
called here some weeks ago, look so
formidable. She carries Is guns, eight
of them rapid fire, 1Oh centimetre, 4
Hotchkiss and of them MaXims. There
are 100 men on board, all of whom eX-
pect to see much active service when
they get into Chinese waters. 1t has
been reported lately that the Chinese
feet has decks cleared for action all
the time nowadays, and the Geier's men
may get all the fighting they want.
There are other war vessels of the pow
ers on the scene, however. and ii is pos
sibe that the Chinese will not have any
vessels to send after the Geier when
she approaches. Beyond that, there is
the possibility of disagreement among
the powers, and the officers of the ves-
sci feel that they may be going to the
scenes of battle such as have not trans
pired since the building of modern war
vessels began. The Geier will give a
! good account of herself when the time
comes, if come it does.
The officers of the Geier are Captain
Peters. Commander; Lieutenant-C Cap
Dartmer and Won Egidy; Lieutenant
MOller; Dr. Ottow, Surgeon; Chief En-
gineer Ballauff and Paymaster Frolher.
The Geier will probably leave here on
| Monday. The work of coaling her has
been begun, and it is thought that by
Monday afternoon it will be completed.
AS soon as she arrived yesterday Con-
/ sui ]. r. Hackfeld made a visit to her,
and since then many other German
residents of Honolulu have gone to see
her. She made the trip from Acapulco
/ in sixteen days.
The Geier has been stationed at post
on the coasts of North and South Am
erica for number of years. and was at
Havana when the war between Spain
and America began. She was one of
the vessels which took American re-
| fugees away from Havana. Her orders
to the orient. first Ivy way of San Fran
cisco and then direct as news from
| China became more alarming, were re-
ceived as soon as the present Difficult
ties began.

BOW WONG ADvICEs BY THE
PEKING.
Southern Provinces Will Oppose the
Northern in Great Civil War in Be
half of Reform.

The steamship City of Peking brought
dispatch from Hongkong for Reform
er Leung Chi-tso. 1t was opened by
his friends here, but it is in cypher, and
they were not able to make anything
out of it, 1t will be forwarded to him
and in the meantime there is a lot OF
curiosity to know what it's contents are.
Other letters and dispatches came for
Bow Wongs from their Shanghai and
other correspondents some telling OF
the escapes or capture of relatives OF
those whose names Consul Yang Wal
Pin sent to the Chinese government, as
members of the Bow Wong Wui.
Letters received state that the reform
movement is spreading throughout
southern China, where press dispatches
show that there is at this time no Boxer
movement. 1T will end in a fight be-
tween the northern and southern prov
inces of China" said one Chinese to-
day referring to the contents of a letter
he received by the Peking. The re-
formers will bring their movement to
head in the southern provinces, where
the Boxers are not in power, and the re-
suit will be a fight between Chinese
factions for possession of the govern
ment the reformers trying to put the
Emperor in power again. The pOpula-
tion of the southern provinces which
are not fighting against the foreigners,
is as large as that in the north The
southerners will help the foreign ma
tions to punish the Boxers and to es-
tablish a new liberal government, pro
vided that the scheme of partition is
dropped, but they do not want to see
any foreign nation trying to take the
country"
According to this view of the stua-
tion, China is likely to be the scene of
a great civil war. and the foreign ma
tions now landing troops on Chinese
soil will have a great deal of help from
the Chinese people. Chinese here say
that there will be news of active oper-
ations before long, and that I,eung Chi
tso and Kwang Yu Wal will be found
working together among the heads of
the reform party.

EIGHTH VISIT OF AzRAEL.
Another Death Among the Fated Thir-
teen of Palolo Valley.

Kane, native, aged As, died in Palolo
valley yesterday of "myocarditis." DR.
Garvin, who assisted in the autopsy,
states that the man had several all
ments, almost any one of which could
have caused death.
Kane is one of tn thirteen Hawaiians
who lived on kuleanas near the head
of Palolo valley, and is the eighth OF
the thirteen to die since about June l.
Autopsies were held in the case of each.
Nephritis and cirrhOsis We're prominent
causes in most of the deaths, though in
two cases there We're typhoid symp-
toms.
Such a succession of deaths among
so limited a number of persons has
created a profound sensation and in
fact panic among the survivors. Soon
after the seventh death, the survivors
removed from the kuleanas where they
had been living to a house lower down
the valley. II was their intention to
remove soon to Hawaii.
