Through the Jubilee Committee of

plan, it is desired that by similar means

KING STREET PAvEMENT.
VIII Be MacadamIzed as Soon as
Widened Uniformly.

4 The almost unbearable condition of
king street Eva of Nuuanu stream as
5far as the Kamehameha schools has
brought many complaints to the Adj
vertiser office. The road is usually so
dusty that driving over it is a hard
ship, and those who ride in street cars
get. the full benefit of a thick coating
of fine white dust.
Another feature which makes the
street disagreeable to people who make
/ constant use of it is the glare The
road is composed of fine, white coral
rock and under the suns rays produces
/ such a strain on the eyes that dark
/ glasses are much worn by Kalihi and
,Palama residents.
4 superintendent of Public Works Nc
] Candless stated yesterday that it Is
I the intention of his department t
tmacadamize the entire street as soor
as provision could be made for widen
ing it to give it uniformity. Also {
rock crusher is awaited from the Coas
which will be put up in the hills be
hind Palama from whence it is expect
ed that the heavier stone for the road
bed is to be procured. Such a road vii
be very dark and the strain on TIL
eyes will be removed.

organist of st. Andrews Cathedral,
which has only been broken by two
short vacations. When sent for in 1880
Mr.. Taylor was organist at St. AIMS

other organists. For over three years
he presided at the organ at Kaumaka-
pill Church, now in ruins as the result
of the Chinatown fire, and ten months
at the old Fort Street Church, in con-
junction with his duties at St. An
drews. During the twenty years he has
always played four services on a Sun

hearsals, and many times has managed
to get through seven services in one
day.

Tien-Tsin, July IS, via Che

16.-At 2 o'clock this evening,
1000 of the allied troops were at
tempting to storm the wall of the
city. The attack began at day
light. It's success is doubtful.
The Chinese on the walls are es-
timated conservatively at 10000.
They are pouring a terrific hail
of artillery, rife and machine
gun fire upon the attackers. The
Americans, japanese, British and
French troops are attacking from
the west and the Russians from
the east.
The Americans suffered terri
bly,. AS the Associated Press
representative left the field, the
chief surgeon of the ninth infant
ry said a conservative estimate
was that 25 per cent of the Amer
leans were hit. Colonel H. Lis
cum is reported to have been
mortally wounded, as he was
walking in front of the troops.
Major Regan and Captains Mil
ler, Wilcox and Noyes are among
the wounded. The marines
losses include Captain Davis kill
ed and Butler, Leonard and sew
eral others wounded.
Officers declared that it was
hotter than at Santiago.
When the correspondent left,
the Americans were lying in the
plain between the wall and the
river under an enflading and a
direct fire. 1t was equally diff
cult for them to advance or retire.
Later advices say that the in
ternational forces have captured
the town of Tien Tsin and de-
feated the Chinese troops.
