Notice..
METROPOLITAN MEAT co.

1T IS OUR INTENTION TO INAU-
gurate new system in the delivery
OF meat to our customers.
As you are aware, 1t has been the
custom In Honolulu for years past "a
custom born Of the pre-refrigcratOr
days) to have the meat cut up during
the night and delivered carly each
morning. In many ways his system
has proved unsatisfactory, and we have
therefore determined to try daytime
delivery instead.
1t is proposed to have In come parts
Of the city two deliveries Pc day, one
In the morning, with meat for lunch
or dinner, the other In the afternoon,
when meat for dinner, or brea yfast the
following morning can De sent. Oh
ders will be taken by telephone each
evening as at present and before ~
noon for the afternoon delivery. This
system will also give houscliolders an
opportunity Of coming to. the market
to select their own cuts, which can be
sent out on the afternoon delivery.
1t Is also hoped that 1t may be pos
sible under this system and by making
late delivery on Saturday afternoon
to do away with Sunday work, which
has always been an Objectionable fea-
ture of the old method.
AS we are DESTROYS of giving salts
faction to our customers in every way,
we hope that they will lie willing TO
give the proposed system fair trial,
as we believe that when it 10 perfected
1t will be found to work for their bene-
fit as well as our own.
We shall start our first daily delivery
on Monday next, April 10th.
Yours respectfully,

VERY SIMILAR TO THE HOUSE BILL.

Calling for Instructions to the Paris

2 groes In the South.


Washington, Jan. 16.-With the
opening of to-day's session of the SEN
ate, Mr.. Cullom presented a petition
handsomely bound and signed by 5000
negroes asking for such legislation AS
will protect eolored men of thi4coun-
try from "the barbarous practice Of
lynching and burning eolored men"
Mr.. Chandler, chairman OF the com
mittee on privileges and elections,
though it desirable 10 be perfectly
frank, There is no power in con
gress," said he, Ito prevent or to pun
ish crimes committed in various
states. II the states do not punish
crimes, for the punishment OF which
they have enacted laws, no federal
law can take the place of useless state
laws"
After ten minutes spent In execu-
tive session the senate resumed open
session. Mr.. Davis moved TO lay Mr.
Pettigrew's amendment TO Mr.. Hoars
resolution calling for the instructions
10 the peace commission on the table
The motion prevailed, Al to 20.
Mr.. Vest said that the friends Of the
administration should desire TO have
the whole of the Paris correspondence
placed before the American people.
He said he denied the right of any one
to muzzle him in his expression of
his honest opinion by calling him a
public enemy. Mr.. Vest referred to
the deplorable conditions in the is
lands, the plague in Hawaii, starva-
tion in Puerto Rico, uncertainty in
Cuba, and the condition in the Philip
pines that might last no one knew
how long. Mr.. Vest said that every
man who voted for the ratification
of the Paris treaty knew he voted for
q war. Are we to be denounced?"
he asked, "as the friends of Aguinaldo
and the enemies of our country be-
cause we oppose the policies of the adj
ministration?"
The senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals has agreed unani-
mously TO report bill for the CON
struction of the Nicaraguan canal.
The bill Is the same as that reported
favorably in the house by the commit

Immediately after the reading of
the journal the house took up the
urgency appropriation bill. Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the appropriations
committee, was asked by Mr.. Loud
about the item of s150,0OO for rural
free delivery and replied that 1t had
been found that 100000 had been
appropriated for the present fiscal
year. That money had been largely
expended ard unless this appropria-
tion was made much of the service
now in operation would have to be
discontinued. Mr.. Cannon frankly
confessed that the manner of the ex-
penditure of this money did not meet
his approval. He believed 1t the duty

FOR A LARGER NAVY
Dewey Says This Country Should
Have the Best on Earth.
With War Vessels Able to Cope with Any
European Power We Would Not Need
n Large Standing Army, says
the Admiral

New York, Jan. 16.-Admiral
Dewey, in signed article on the
needs of a great navy for the United
States, says;
Who controls the sea wins. Wins
what? All the great nations are striving,
to-day as never before, for increase OF
commerce, not for the commerce Of the
east merely, but for that Of the world
In general, and side by side with the in
crease of commerce must be placed the
necessity for It's protection, for the ma
tion which Is lacking In power TO protect
Its commerce upon the seas and In is
ports Is not only without hope OF COM
mercial advancement, but Is almost GER
tain OF retregression.
Recent events have made II clear that

RUSHED THROUGH GORGEs.


Manila, Jan. 13.-The rush of the
cavalry squadron from Binang
through Silang was a wonderful per-
formance. The men passed through
gorges where 20 Beers could have
stopped an army and struck the in
surgents' rear guard in the hills near
CarmOna. Thereafter, the rebels
made a headlong rush to escape,
scattering in all directions and drop
ping their rifles as they ran. They
also abandoned one cannon. Several
bull carts were overtaken. The pre-
cipitate fight of the rebels prevented
the destruction by them of the
bridges over the gorgcs. If these
bridges had been destroyed, 1t would
have been impossible for the troopers
to cross.
The insurgents who fled before Gen.
Schwan's cavalry charge to Slang
have taken refuge in the mountain
range which cuts Cavite province in
two, extending east and west. II will
be difficult work for the Americans TO
get at them as the country is almost
impregnable.

TRAGEDY AT FRANKFORT.


Frankfort, Ky, Jan. l6.--Ex-Con-
grossman David G. Colson shot and
killed Ethelburt Scott and Luther
Demaree and slightly wounded a
third party named Golden. The kill
ing was the result of renewal OF a
feud between Colson and Scott, which
grew up between them while in the
army last year. Demaree and Golden
were bystanders and were shot by ao-
cident, II developed that Colson was
shot in the arm, but not seriously
hurt.
The killing occurred in the lobby OF
the Capitol hotel, which ives densely
packed with people>who are here at
tending the trial OF the contests be-
fore the legislature, Persons who
witnessed the tragedy say fully 90
shots were fired. Scott was a nephew
of ex-dov. Bradley Demaree was as
sistant postmaster at Shelbyyille and
prominent republican politician.
The trouble between Scott and Colson
which began in the army last year,
resulted in Colson being shot by Scott,
and IL has been predicted since that
one or both would be killed should
they meet, as they did to-day. Colson
is under arrest.

A REMEDY FOR TRUSTS.


st. Louis, Jan. 1G.--Col. William Jen-
nings Bryan and President Arthur
4. Hadley, of Yale university, were
interviewed yesterday relative to the
latter's proposal to ostracize trust
magnates. President Hadley said in
response to a question regarding the
remedy for some of the bad effects of
trusts, which he suggested in a speech
at Denver; "When people have clear
ly made up their minds as to what are
great social evils, ostracism Ia an eff
fectiyc remedy rhenhe SAID by-way
of explanations: "My opinion is that
many of the evils commonly attrib-
uted to trusts don't properly belong
there. This is where the people needs
education"
Col, Bryan was asked for his views
on the plan of President Hadley, lie
said: "When the people understand
the harm that there is in trusts they
will be ready TO apply a remedy, But
so far as ostracism Is concerned
don't believe that as remedy for
trust evil II is likely to become no.
