Sing|e-Men's Lodging
Will Be Built.
TO OPPOSE THE SALOON
A Four-Story Building to Be Erect
ed to Cater to Comforts Of
HonolulanS.

A rooming house for single men is In
the air. Representative business men
are behind the scheme. Plans for a
four-story building, with rooms espe-
cially arranged to meet the needs OF
the bachelors of Honolulu are in the
hands of Ripley & Dickey, the archi-
,ects. The interior arrangements OF
the three upper stories have been
studied with the design of making chem
suitable to the needs of young men
who are earning fair salaries but are
compelled to pay large room rent.
The scheme Is in the nature of an
anti-saloon movement whereby the pro-
motors expect to place in the new
building all the attractions which a
saloon offers. minus intoxicants and ali
the bad features which the religious
workers deplore. 1t is proposed to
start the building on the plan adopted
and put into effect by Bishop Potter OF
New York, whose Temperance Saloons
have been success despite the oppo-
sition manifested by those who pre-
dicted failure at the start
A lease option Is held by the pro-
motors from the Bishop Estate of a
valuable corner on Nuuanu and Bers-
tania streets, opposite Queen Emma
hall. The plans now In course OF
writing are intended for a building at
this corner. However If there Is any
hitch, a different location has been
placed at their disposal The building
is to cost $S0,000 and on this account
it is deemed advisable to purchase
lot outright. Even a forty years lease
would hardly answer for the erection
of such a valuable building. $4,000
has been guaranteed by business man
who takes considerable interest in
movements Of this character, so there
will be no obstacle at the outset.
Building operations will probably
commence next September. Mr.. Theo-
dore Richards will return from New
York about that time, and expects to
be primed with information upon the
subject of such movement. He states
that in Liverpool and Manchester there
are fifty to sixty OF these Temperance
Saloons which pay over five per cent
In Honolulu 1t is proposed that six per
cent be the lowest profit. This can be
accomplished by letting out the rooms
from S6 to SIS month, furnished.
Baths, billiard parlors, reading rooms,
a temperance bar where soft drinks
are served and roof garden, replete
with conveniences and home artrac-
lions are outlined in the plans.
The matter has been under consider
alton for many months and new back
ers are being enrolled from week to
week. The money for the project is
nearly all promised and the only thing
needed is the ownership of the proper
ty upon which the block Is to be
erected

HORSE TOOK A RUN.
Leaves Hack Shafts and Makes a
Dash for Liberty.

A horse became separated yesterday
forenoon from hack in which he was
harnessed and started on wild run
with the shafts up Queen street. He
was caught near the Opera House, more
scared than hurt, although he was bad
ly bruised by the shafts dangling about
his legs. The hack, left to It's own yo-
litlon, started easily for the wharf and
was stopped as II neared the edge OF the
dock.
The driver received an ugly bruise on
his forehead, having been pulled over
the dashboard with considerable vlo-
lence when the shafts became disengag-
ed rom the hack Loose pins are sup
posed TO have caused the trouble.

the Scene Of Hostilitiss-Em-
Press Dowagsr's Orders.


London June 19.-China declared
war against the world when the Taku
forts opened fire upon the interna-
tional fleet. The accounts OF what
took place are still unsatisfactory.
The unofficial narratives coming by
way of Shanghai vary and bear In
ternal evidence of experimenting
the main facts with guess work. One
dispatch says that the Yorktown
participated in the bombardment.
Another asserts that American ma
rines formed part Of the storming
force of 1000.
The Shanghai correspondent OF the
Daily Mail, telegraphing yesterday.
says: "The forts began firing In OBJ
servance to orders from Pekin, con-
veyed on the personal edict Of the
empress dowager, by advice OF Kang
vi (president of the ministry Of war;.
Several warships were struck by shells
from the 12-inch guns Of the forts.
"The heavy Russian losses were due
to the blowing up Of the magazines OF
Mandshur. Four hundred Chinese
are reported killed. The Chinese,
when retreating, fell into the hands
of the Russian land force"
The Daily News has the following
from Che-Foo: 1.-TWO Of the forts
were blown up. The 80 warships at
Taku aggregated 100000 tons and car
ried more than 800 guns"
The failure of Admiral SEYMOUR
column and its retreat to Tien Tsin
increase, It is presumed, the peril OF
the legations in PelSin, which Is still
isolated, although Shanghai forwards
Chinese rumors that the legations
were attacked by mobs who were
moved down by machine guns and
also that the members Of the lega-
tions were massacred. The situation
ut Niu Chwang is reported critical.
The British consul at Kin Kwang has
ordered all foreigners to leave Ku

ers are taking prompt action. -Four
thousand German troops have been
ordered to China; 10000 French
troops are waiting to embark al

China; and from 5000 to 5000 more
Russians have been ordered from
Port Arthur to Taku.
