Plumbers Can't
Reach Agreement

The committee appointed by tho
Board of Health to meet the plumbers
of Honolulu for conference upon sc =
lions and of the present plumbing
regulations reported to the Board as
follows:
Your committee to whom was referred
sections s and Of the plumbing regu'
lations would report as follows:
A hearing was given the plumbers Of
Honolulu on Saturday, December 18th,
at which Messrs. Bath, Sellers and
Brown, a committee from the Maste"
Plumbers Association, were present;
also Mr.. J. Mott Jr., and Mr.. Gehrins.
All were given a chance to express
their opinions on the two sections, but
there did not seem to be any unani-
nifty of opinion except on one point
and that was that the changing from
Extra Heavy to Standard pipe would
be simply q matter of economy. Your
committee adjourned till today so as to
nave lliilt W oN'i tht
submitted by the plumbers and also to
consult different authorities.
Among the authorities consulte
were Gerhard. A. l.. Webster, Prof. A.
p. Fowlell, Col. f. G. Waring, Jr.., j.
w. Adams, j. w. Slater; also the
plumbing regulations of the large cities
in the United States. All those con-
suited were of one opinion, and that
was Extra Heavy pipe should be used
in all instances and It will only be no.
cessary TO quote one authority.
w. p. Gerhard, in his work on house
drainage and sanitary plumbing, says:
Not only for large public and private
buildings but in all instances whore
sound and permanent work is expected,
Extra Heavy soil pipe should be used :;
the only merits OF the so-called STAN
dard or light pipe are its light weight,
making II easy to handle, and Its
cheapness, but great care should be
taken by all sanitary engineers to OBJ
tain iron soil pipe of a uniform thick
ness which is not easily obtainable in
the so-called light pipe"
Your committee is of the opinion
that the rules should be for the prese"-
walton of the public health and that I'll
necessary precautions should be taken
toward that end and that the matter
OF economy should only enter into the
subject when the public health will no.
be endangered thereby.
II any amendment was to be made &c

The Attorney General said he could

CIPHER MESSAGES GO.
MI. VVu Says Eight Governments Have
Forwarded Them.

Washington, August 9.-Mr. WI, the
Chinese minister, said tonight he had re-
ceived information from China that
eight foreign legations in Pekin had
sent cipher messages to their respective
governments. The TACT thats the lega-
tlons are being allowed to send cipher
dispatches to their home offices, shows,
in Mr. WI opinion, that his government
is living up to the imperial edict per-
mitting the ministers to have free COM
munioation with their governments.
Mr. WI says the consuls' cipher de-
spatches which also were reported as
having been held up, have been forward
ed.
Minister WI tonight sent to his govern
ment the memorandum addressed to him
10y Acting Secretary Adee and demand
ing the immediate cessations OF hostile
attacks By imperial troops upon the lega-
tions and urging the imperial govern
1nent to enter into communication with
the relief Of expedition for the liberation
of the legations The minister, accom-
panied it with an explanatory statement
in which he gave the reasons why in his
opinion a compliance with the represent
tations OF the United States would be for
the best interest of all.
He expects it will take several days for
the memorandum to reach the imperial
authorities.
The latest message to Minister Conger
sent in response to that received from
him TUESDAY afterDoon. was filed for
transmission last night. State Department
officials estimate at least five days will
elapse before an answer is received.

view as much improved. The promise of
cipher communication with the ministers
in Pekin togheter with the advance of
the international forces toward Pekin. is
believed to be relatively significant. 1t Is
believed that the resistance by the
Chinese has not been and will not be as
great as anticipated by some authorizes
who said that the Chinese force consisted
of the best of their army. The movement
on Yang Tsun is in accordance with In
formation contained in the dispatch from
General Chaffee which was not made
public and also In a despatch which was
made public after Pei Tsang had been
taken. 1t is the expectation of the Otfi-
Gals Of the war department. that the pres
ent reconnaissance in force will continue,
although nothing is said as coming from
General Chaffee to that effect

Of fxedness to it's own original home To-
cality it's that furnished by a citizen OF
Gorham, Captain Samuel Higgins. who
more than century old, had passed his
whole life on the same quiet, retired
homestead. An abandoned farm is a sad
sight. We know not the happiness, we en-
joyed at home until we We're exiled from
1t. Home is like the magnetic rock in
the Arabian tale which drew from every
ship that approached it, all its iron. The
desire once more to visit ones youth,
ones native town, the old familiar
places, 1 take it, is a mild form of home
sickness. All honor to Governor Rollins
Of New Hampshire for having introduced
the disease and to Governor Powers for
having caught it. May it spread and may
Old Home Day take a permanent place
in the procession OF its sister holidays"
The band played a selection, and then
Mr.. Howard A. McKenney spoke on the
early settlers of the town. He said !:
1.-THE story of our early days ought to be
ever kept in grateful remem brance and
this day shall contribute towards that
end, it viii be proftably spent. If this
occasion shall arouse the public interest
in our early history and shall result in a
general effort for the preseryatio u OF the
facts before they slip beyond our recall,
it viii be work well done. The publica-
ton of another history of our town would
prevent the possibility of the acc idental
destruction of records which 1t would be
impossible to replace. 1t would be a
qualification to our own citizens and to
those who have gone out from us but who
still delight to consider themselves of us.
1t ought also to awaken in the younger
generation a pride in our town which
would make them eager to emulate TIT
worthy example of the past and ready t.
work for its increased prosperity
After another selection by the band ex
Governor Robe announced that the exeI
cises according to the programme ha
been concluded. He called upon Railroad

zen of the town, who was in the crowd
Mr. Chadbourne was warmly greeted b

There Is No Law

No statute against paying more for an
article than is necessary, if you want to do
it, or against paying more for an inferior
article than for superior one. But the law
of common sense is against such waste and
foolishness. If you want to do it you can
pay more for baking powders than you pay
for Solar Baking Powder, but Solar is the
purest cream Of tartar baking powder made,
and it has the greatest leavening strength, 50
that it takes less of it to do your baking.
That is one saving you make by using it.
Another making double saving is that
it sells to you for much less than others, be-
cause it is NOT made by the trust.

LOSSES NEARLY 200.
AIIies Suffered Severely at Battle of
Yang Tsun.

London, August 1O.-4 q. MIN the
capture OF Yang Tsun, the losses of the
allies, according to a despatch to the
Daily Express from Che Foo dated Au-
gust s, purporting to give an account of
that engagement, were 200, the majority
of these being killed.
f'The allies marched on Yang Tsun, :"
says this report, Sat dawn Monday. The
position held by 1900 Chinese was we'll
entrenched to the east OF the ri yer. After
four hours heavy fighting the Chinese
were driven from their defense works. ~
Another despatch to the same paper,
dated Tien Tsin, August 6, recounts a
reconnaissance that morning by the
Japanese beyond Haiku, the result being
that the enemy was developed in strong
force we'll fortified at Wei Ho. The Chi
nese We're superior in numbers and, after
facing the fire Of seven guns the japanese
retired on Haiku, with three killed and
twenty-seven wounded, but having cap
tured two hundred horses.
With the exception of these messages,
General Chaffee's report is the only &C
count published by the London morning
Isun.
The editorials generally incline to view
the progress toward Pekin as thus far
splendid, but one which cannot be main
tanned at the present rapid rate as the
concentration Of supplies and the estab-
1ishment OF bases VIII cause Inevitable
delays. The commissioner of customs at
