BEEF STEAKS CONE HIGH AALA SQUATTtRS MOVED.
FORCE OF MEN LEVEL EVERY
SHACK IN AALA PARK.
Road Supervisor Campbell Gave the
moving Their Effects This Morning.

Aala Park has once more resumed it's
bare, sandy appearance. Squatters'
camp was levelled to the ground this
morning by force of government em-
ployes and the poor Chinese who have
been living there for the last few
months were driven broadcast over the
city. Severe as seemed the orders to
vacate to the squatters, Road Super
visor Campbell showed them every pos
sible consideration and did everything
in his power to help them remove their
belongings. He offered a home at Ka-
lih to the Old men and even brought
carts to convey them there but the
Chinese preferred to go to their friends
so the invitation was not accepted.
Notice had been served on the squat
ters Tuesday that they must be away
from the Park by this morning or
force of men would come and tear
down their shacks. Mr.. Campbell knew
that such a course would be necessary
to rid the place of the Chinese for they
would remain as long as there was
roof, above their heads. This morning
at o'clock he took a gang of men to
the Park and started the work of de-
molishng the little village. Within
half an hour from the time that the
force arrived there every shack had been
leVelled to the ground.
Had the Chinese been allowed to con-
template the destruction of their homes
their hearts would have wept at the
rapidity with which their careful labor
of weeks was shattered by the blows
of the crowbars and axes in the hands
of the Portuguese laborers Mr.. Camp
bell did not hurry any of the old men
and gave them assistance in removing
their belongings. The Portuguese were
eager however to tear down the shacks
and they worked with enthusiasm. Of
ten when the roof of d hut was torn
aWaV a deCreDit Chinese would he seen
gaping after an opium dream and gaz-
ing heavy eyed upon the interruption
of his rest. Others would be interrupt
ed in the act of gathering their miser-
able effects. Mr. Campbell would al
ways direct his men to cease work in
such cases. in order to give the Chinese
a chance to rescue their property. Often
| the workmen were directed to stop their
business of demolishing and assist the
| Chinese in carrying goods to the side
| of the camp. AS fast as the men would
| demoliSh the Shacks the Chinese would
| rush in and rescue lumber and various
| material which had been used in con-
structing the huts. This material would
| be piled all around the camp for the
| Chinese intend to return and carry it
| away to some other place and erect
! other shacks. 1t was a busy time for
| the Chinese and they worked like
beavers moving their goods away from
the huts.
Mr. Campbell said that he would per-
NIT the Chinese to leave the building
material in the Park for several days
so as to allow them time in which to
| make arrangements for removal of the
stuff No trouble was experienced in
| ejecting the squatters. They seemed
| to realize that they could no longer re-
main in the Park so without any de-
murring accepted the inevitable.

ADVANCE OF THREE CENTS NEXT
SATURDAY.
Tenderloin and Porterhouse Steaks will
Be Twenty -one Cents a Pound-Cause
of Rise.

From Saturday of this week Honolulu
will have to pay an advance of three
cents a pound for beef.
This announcement will startle house
keepers, but it seems that it can not be
helped. Tenderloin and Porterhouse
steaks are now eighteen cents pound
On and after Saturday they will be
twenty-one cents a pound.
The advance in price is due, first, to
the duty of two cents pound under
the new law and, to the lack of facili-
ties for shipping meats into the country.
The Australia has capacity for only
about seventy carcasses. This facility
was obtained by the Metropolitan Meat
Company about two years ago by build
ing a new room on the boat and Civ
ing years guarantee for it. The meat
company has no other shipping facili-
ties from the coast. The duty on meats
from the Colonies practically shuts it
off at that end.
OF the matter Mr.. Waller, manager
of the Metropolitan Meat Company,
said this morning. 1--WE know the peo-
pie will be up in arms but they must
certainly know we would not advance
prices unless it were absolutely neces-
sary. The lot of beef received bv the
Warrimoo was cabled for to Brisbane.
In reply to the first cable our cores
pondents in the Colonies wired back
that there was an advance of one cent
a pound, and asked if they should ship.
We could not get beef from California
= and had to accept at any price.
"It is our expectation that early in
November prices may again be reduced
to a normal basis. We have word from
San Francisco that the big, new steamer
Sonoma will leave San Francisco on
October 81 on the Colonial run. This
vessel will have all the cold storage re-
Quired. With the opening of the Cali
fornia market to us we will be able to
sell beef as cheap as ever before.
"Under it's contracts with Island
graziers the Metropolitan Meat Com
pany must pay them the same price
for beef that it costs to import beef"
For the present, however, our GUS
toners will have to bear with us, as
the advance can not be helped. We
have been paying two cents duty for
month on Australian beef and selling
at the old figures. This simply can not
be continued"
The Metropolitan Meat Comoanv IS
today getting out a thousand circulars
to be mailed to their customers inform
ing them of the advance in price of beef
There will not be any advance in NUT
ton and pork.

SUGAR STOCK CORPORATION.
Plan to Market Plantation Stocks in the
East.

Ed Pollitz has announced the organi-
cation, as soon as he returns to tre
mainland, of '"The Consolidated He Wa =
iian Sugar Plantations" This corpora
ton will own stock in Paahau, Onomea,
Hutchinson, and Kilauea, and perhaps
other plantations, and issue it's own
stock against these. Its own stock will
be issued as preferred and common
the preferred to be paid eight per cent
and the common to be paid such divi-
dends as the remainder of the income
from the plantation stocks owned by
the corporation will justify. In other
words the corporation will own the
stock of sugar plantations and receive
the dividends paid, and will then pay
this money out to it's own stockholders
as dividends on it's own stock, first pay
ing the preferred stock eigth Ter cent,
and the common stock The balance,
which may be less or more according
as the dividends paid by the plantations
are larger or smaller.
1t is believed that the stock of this
corporation can be more readily placed
in the east than the stock of individual
plantations.

FACULTY WILL REMEMBER THE
OCCASION.
Informal Dinner Will be Given Next
Monday-Regular School Term will
Begin on Tuesday.

Monday September 8, will be an event
of more than passing interest to the
faculty of st. Louis College as 1t will
be the seventeenth anniversary of the
present administration. 1t is not the
intention of the teachers to celebrate
the event with any special programme
but the occasion will be remembered in
quiet style.
1t was in 1888 that eight members Of
the order in Ohio accepted the invitation
of the Catholic Bishop to come to Homo
lulu and take charge of the college
which had been started in Ahuimana.
The college had originally been started
in 1916 but for some reason it did not
prosper even after it was moved from
the other side of the island to this city.
OF the original faculty who came from
Ohio but four remain in the Islands.
They are Brother Bertram, the princl-
pal, Brother Francis, Brother Mark and
Brother Frank of Wailuku, Maui.
On their arrival the brothers found
that the school was very limited in cha
racter there being scarcely 70 pupils.
With characteristic energy they set to
work and within a year had made such
marked improvement that the services
of additional instructors were ne
Cessary and more teachers had to come
from the States. The second year found
the institution growing in efficiency and
a second reinforcement of instructors
was sent. Since then the school has
prospered until now it has an atten-
dance of nearly six hundred pupils in
all departments in Honolulu and there
are branches at Hilo and Wailuku.
1t is not the intention of the brothers
to have any celebration Monday beyond
a little informal dinner and an exchange
of "reminiscences. The fifteenth anniver-
sary was celebrated in suitable fashion
two years ago but Principal Bertram
decided that the seventeenth anniver-
sary had no particular Significance so
a special celebration was not required.
The regular school term will open on
the following day, September 4.

DEWEY DENIES LETTERS.
FilipinOs Didn't Want and He Didn't
Promise Independence

Washington, Jnly 24.-The letter
received by Senator Pettigrew from
one of Aguinaldo's generals, j.
Aljandrino, containing an alleged ac-
count of an interview between him
self and Admiral Dewey on board the
Olympia in April, 1898, in which it
is stated Admiral Dewey promised in
dependence to the Filipinos, was
shown to the admiral today. The
admiral characterized it tissue of
falsehoods. He declared it absurd
on its face.
II not only had no powerto promise
independence to the Filipinos," said
he, "but the whole of the words put
in my mouth stamps them as false.
l am made to say things which never
thought of and which | could never
have uttered. You will notice that |
am addressed in the alleged inter-
view as admiral, when at the time
| was commodore.
The admiral said he had never
heard of Alejandrino. Several Flip
mos, after much importuning, did
come aboard the Olympia at Hong
Kong. They were anxious to be taker
to Manila.
81 considered their representations
of little importance" said the ad
miral, land l did not take them tc
Manila. Later | gave permission tc
Aguinaldo and about dozen other:
to come to Manila. All that the!
were anxious about at that time wa
an end of the tyranny ofSpain, agains
which they had been fighting. AfteI
the destruction of Montojo'
fleet the city virtually surrendered
and | am satisfied that if we had haC
5000 troops there at that time W,
could have gone ashore and been re
ceived by the Filipinos as deliverers
They had absolutely no thought of in
dependence. That was an after
thought of their leaders during the in
term between the smashing of tn
Spanish fleet and the arrival of tn
United States troops"

Independence Glass Factory.

A special to the Kansas Cts journal
of the hopes of glass factory at In
dependence as follows: w. b. Dobbs
and T. w. Overman, of Marion, Ind, ,
are here negotiatingwith the business
men for a bonus of $l0,O for the
establishment of a glass factory, to be
brought here from Marion. The ne
gotiations are about ready to be
closed, as a number of capitalists
have subscribed from $500 to $1,000
each, The factory will employ 100
workmen, and is attracted to this city
by the abundant supply of natural
gas and a quality of sand near here,
of which bottles and other rough
glass goods can be made. This point
is also nearer the fine sand beds OF
Missouri than Marion, which is ar
important factor.

Democrat Quits Sine Die.

The newspaper field in lola has for
some time been in state of fulness
which has led to the general expecta-
ton that something would have to
happen. Three dailies in a town this
size was pushing the pencil pretty
hard, and it was a matter of course
that the patrons of the print shops
would become weary of supporting
three papers where there should be
but one-to secure the best service
or at the very outside, two.
A meeting of the triune owners of
the Daily Democrat was held
and the decision reached that after
issuing Mondays paper telling how it
happened, the daily should be discon-
tinued, for the present. 1t is straight
matter of business, according to the
owners. The field is already occupie d
and the returns on their money and
labor was not sufficient to justify them
in continuing the labor.
The REGISTER believes the gentle
men have acted wisely. They might
have continued in the field, losing
money themselves and compelling
their opponents to lose money. The
merchants were wearied by the daily
solicitations of three sets of business
seekers, and they are the standbys of
the newspapers. The gentlemen who
own the Democrat will continue their
weekly issue and will remain here.
working for lola, and when the town
is larger they will again come out
with a paper which shall represent
the other side of politics and receive
support according to its deserts.

Old Settlers Meeting.

The seventh annual reunion of the
First Settlers of the Neosho Valley
will be held in Riverside Park, Neo-
sho Nails, Kansas Thursday and
Friday, August 30th and 3lst. This
is one of the largest associations of
old settlers in the State, and is grow
ing in numbers every year. At the
last meeting there were over 1000
members present, and there is every
reason to believe the attendance will
be much larger this year. The asso-
citation includes the counties of Allen,
Anderson, Coffey, and Woodson, and
there are but few "old timers" in the
district who fail to attend these meet
ings. An interesting program will be
arranged and number of the best
Speakers in the State will be in at
tendance. The officers of the asso.
citation are d. w. Finney, president;
d. II. Inge, Treasurer; j. N. Stout,
secretary. Any information desired
in reference to the meeting can be
