TIME THE FIRST FACTOR.

Minister Young's expressions re-
garding the prompt extension Of the
sewer system is characteristic of that
gentleman's public and private career.
Honest and straightforW ard in oil mat
tiers Minister Youngs administration of
the Interior Office has evidenced a
strict regard for the interests of the
people. Ever watchful against waste
OF money he stands against a policy
that is penny wise and pound foolish.
In considering the bids for construct
ing the extended sewer system the Bull
letin believes 1t voices the sentiment Of
the entire community in stating that
the time when this system will be
ready for use is matter of paramount
Importance. II there are those who
consider 1t advisable to save money at
the expense Of delay they have not an
nounced 1t. Action, prompt action is
the sentiment of the hour. Money must
not be wasted and we can trust Mr..
Young that It will not be, but the speedy
installation Of sewers throughout tn
city Is of far greater financial penefi
to the people of these Islands than say
Ing a few thousand dollars on con
tract by extending the time when tn,
work will be completed.
1t will be remembered that in his re
marks before the Council Of State Dr.
Wood laid particular stress upon the
absolute necessity of the completion Of
the sewer system in order to place
Honolulu in proper sanitary condition.
The fight against the plague would be
seriously handicapped until this wori
was done. No guarantee Of success H.
this fight could be given until the cess
pools were wiped out. 1t was ID,
Woods forceful statement Of the stu
alton that gained the unanimous and
prompt action Of the Council of State
In appropriating money for the work.
No business man of Hawaii could OF.
for objections in the face of the condI-
ton now existing and likely to con-
tinue while the city is at the mercy OF
the present system Of drainage which
Is practically worse than none
The arguments presented to the
Council Of State are now before the
Minister OF the Interior on whom the
responsibility for further action rests.
The opinion Of the people Is un-
changed from that which cordially en-
dorsed the prompt recognition by the
Council of the unquestionable demands
Of the situation.
The day when Honolulu can be de-
clared an open port, the day when the
quarantine on merchandise and pas
sengers from this port can be raised
depends upon the installation Of mod
ern sewage facilities throughout the
city. Every business man, every tax.
payer, every householder on this and
every other island has direct and per-
sonal interest in this affair. None can |
AFFORD the expense Of delay. The draft |
upon the surplus in fighting the plague
Is mere bagatelle when compared
with the losses that have been suffered,
and the end is not in sight, by virtue
OF the long period of strict quarantine.
by virtue Of the long period of strict
quarantine. /
Minister Young is on the right tack.
He can rest assured of the unanimous
support of the people when he makes
the time of completion a factor of
first Importance in awarding the con-
tracts.

Probable Programme In Regard
to Porto Rican Bill.
Majority Fears to PrOlOng the
Discussion of the Subject.
OPPOSITION is FIRM.
Will Decline to Enter the Cau-
Gus Tonight.
No Wavering Apparent Any
where Along the Line.

Washington, April 5.-The Republican
managers of the house have substan-
tally agreed upon the programme rel
ative TO the Porto Ricar tariff bill
They have canvassed the situation, and
have decided to hold a caucus or con
ference tonight at o'clock at which
the managers will present their plan
This plan is to concur il the senate
amendments and thus avoid al the de-
lays and problems involved in an at
tempt to amend the senate provisions
The managers will advocate the adop-
ton of a rule which will allow two
days for the discussion Of this propo-
Sition and then bring it TO vote.
a Republican of the house who has
canvassed the situation says that the
proposition will carry by substantial
majority larger than that by which the
original bill passed the house.
The managers agreed that the plan
to substitute the house bill providing
a civil government for Porto Rico fer
the senate provisions would be bad
policy, as there was really little differ
ence between the two. and the senate
provisions had the advantage of having
been Thoroughly discussed the senate
and perfected there.
The Republicans of the house who
voted against the original bill at an
informal conference held this afternoon
decided not to attend the conference
tonight. One of the members most
prominently identified with the Opposi-
tion stated that the spirit of insur-
rection is as strong as ever" and that
a recent private meeting showed there
was no falling off in the strength of the
| opposition. The Republican members

STEYN'S SPEECH.
Pretoria, Monday. April I'm his
speech at ne opening Of the Free State
raad President Steyn declared that in
spite of the surrender of BlOemfOntein
he had not lost hope of the triumph
of the republican cause. The war. he
said, was forced upon the Transvaal,
and nothing remained for the Orange
Free State but to throw in it's lot with
the sister republic, in accordance with
the terms of the treaty. The war, he
continued. was begun with the object
of maintaining by arms the independ-
cnce bought with the blood of the
/ f0refathers of the nation, and had been
50 successful that it had caused the
greatest wonder throughout the world,
and even to the Beers themselves.
After paying a tribute to the memory
of Gen. JOubert, President Steyn said
that the British, WithStanding their
overwhelming numbers, were violating
4 the flag of TRUCE and the Red Cross. and
he was compelled to report the matter
to the neutral powers.
/ The president further remarked that
the attempt to create dissersion among
/ the burghers by the issuing of procla-
nations. had failed.
Referring to the correspondence be
tween the South African presidents
and Lord Salisbury, President Steyn
/ proceeded:
Not only were those efforts made.
| but the republics mad despatched a dep
utation to Europe and America to bring
/ the influence of neutral powers in order
10 secure a cessation of the bloOdShed.
/ and l greatly desire that these efforts
be crowned with success"
After saying that the government had
raised a temporary loan with the
Transvaal. President Steyn concluded
with a prayer that the Free State be
reserved rom being forced to give up
its dearly beloved independence.

ESCAPED PRISONERS.

London, April 5.-Further details just
received from Lorenzo MARQUEE in re-
gard to Captain Haldane of the Gordon
Highlanders and Lieut.. lie Mesuerier of
the Dublin Fusiliers, who recently ar
rived there after escaping from Pre-
toria, encountering perilous adventures
on the way, show that their expert
ences were similar to those of Winston
Churchill the war correspondent, who
also escaped from Pretoria in Decem-
Der last. Hiding in swamps during the
daytime. having narrow escapes from
Boer. patrols and traversing 100 miles of
country, Capt. Haldane and Lieut. LIE
Mesuerier at length reached Waterfall
cover in the South African republic,
where they hid in an open truck covered
with a tarpaulin.
Continuing the narrative of their
experiences the two officers said:
"At daybreak 10 their delight the
train moved off. After eight hours we
arrived at Komatieport, but were dis
mayed by the switching of our truck to
siding, while the remainder of the
train moved on into the promised land,
only a mile distant. After half an
hour to our great CONSERVATION, we
heard someone unfasten the tarpaulin.
The darkness of the truck was changed
to brilliant daylight, and a Dutchman
looked over the contents. For hours
we did not move and We're cramped
and stfied by the heat. The following
morning. to our intense delight, the
truck was coupled to a goods train

Gatacre's forces are reported to be
about to engage it.
/. Lord Roberts, except to safeguard the
railroad, seemingly declines to send
columns chasing the Boer bands. He
is reserving his cavalry and transport
animals for the forward movement.
Explanations having indirect origin in
the war office as to why Lord Roberts
is inactive are that there has been
lack of horses for remounts, but new
horses are arriving by train loads
hourly The pressure on the railroad is
so great that private parcels and the
officers newspapers have not been for
warded from Cape Town for three
weeks.
The situation in the Free State re-
mains far from clear and is unsatis-
factory to British observers. The sick
ness among the Boer prisoners at Sim
onstoWn continues to increase. Five
men died April 3. The prisoners who
were on board the transport Mongolian
have been transferred to the shore
camp. Unless the sickness abates it is
not likely that more prisoners will be
sent to St. Helena.
