81 feel that l must add to these words the
statement that 1 cannot fully believe that
the Europeans and Americans who were re-
siding at Pekin have been killed. l have
dear friends there in the legations, the Gus
toms and the missions, and nearby I have
son and his wife and child. That there
has been great suffering, especially among
the dear women and children, is no doubt
true; but until a strong confirmation comes
of the awful news l shall hope that these
precious lives are saved
Whether the outrages eliminated In muir
der or not. the situation will not be greatly
changed. The foreign powers must step in
and restore order in China. A new dynasty
must be put on the throne. 1 venture TO
predict that 1t will not be many months
before peace will prevail, and the merchant
and the missionary will take up again the
tangled skeins Of their former occupations. -

ALL MUST PAY
Extension of Militant
Street.
Will {. Fisher Says Property Own,
ers Profit by Government
Work.

The Road Commission sitting to deter
mine the damages for the Militant street
extension from Queen to Halekauwila
treets held session yesterday afternoon
in the old throne room of the Capitol
Attorneys Wilder and T. McCants Stew
art were in attendance and directed the
xsmination of those persons brought be-
fore the Commission to give testimony.
Among them was Will Z. Fisher, the
real estate man, who was called in TO
give expert testimony as to the question
OF damages and betterments resulting
from the extension.
His main point, in speaking of improve
ments to all properties adjacent to the
new street, was an opinion as to the prop
e. apportionment of the betterments. He
testified as to the values and the manner
of improvements, together with the bet
tel ments, and contended that not only
those properties which faced upon the
new street as proposed, but properties To-
Gated a certain distance from each side
I of the street were benefited as well. The
proportion of betterments should not
laio ne fall upon those owners benefited by
having frontages with irregular lines and
insufficient depth, but inasmuch as it was
q long block the property owners ada
lcent thereto receive benefits as well. He
said the property should not be assessed
prc rata, but general scale should b'
made whereby each and every propert'
lovner adjoining and adjacent to MILAN
street extension should pay their proper
ltion.

WHO ARE YOU? SAID
THE POLICE JUDGE
Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Robbins Meets
Wilcox.

When Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Robbins goes around visiting
in Honolulu's different courts he Will
carry pasteboards long enough and big
enough to contain his title. He had an
adventure in Judge Wilcox's court yes
terday morning which will cause him
hereafter to send his name and card
TO the Judge in advance of his appear
ance as prosecuting attorney for the
District Court.
When the Gill libel suit was called up
Mr.. Robbins arose and announced to
His Honor that he was there to assist
in the prosecution. The Judge fixed
his spectacles firmly on his nose, peer
ed through the lenses intently at the
nattily- dressed young man before him.
and finally calculated: Il don't be-
lieve have the honor of your acquain-
tance, sir. and l am not certain at all
whether you represent the prosecution
1 in this matter or not"
| Mr.. Robbins was slightly puzzled for
a moment, but not so much as the
learned Judge. who had not yet learn
ed that the young attorney was a mem
Der of the Attorney Generals Depart
ment. Deputy Sheriff Chillingwortf
stepped into the breach and introduced
the attorney to the Judge.

STREET PAVEMENT TEST.
Government May Give King Street
Strip for Purpose.

1t is probable test of street paving
will be made shortly. If the companies
now on the ground are willing TO do
this the Government will grant the use
of the strip of street lying on the ma
uka side of the tram car tracks on
King street between the entrance to
the Capitol grounds and Richards
street. Mr.. McCandless believes that
the pavement laid there would be sub
jected to general traffic. light and
heavy vehicles, and that it would offer
an impartial and practical test of the
merits of whatever pavement placed
there.
In connection with the cement side
walks now in progress of laying in
around the Capitol grounds taxpayers
will then have an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with ideal materials
and make up their minds whether they
want the improvements.

Smell is under sentence to be hanged the
9th instant for the murder of Lizzie Weisen-
berger, August last, by cutting her throat
with a razor. The appellant reserved a
number of exceptions at the trial upon
which he assigned six errors. These are
based upon the refusal Of the trial justice
to allow certain questions to be asked GER
tain talesmen when examined upon their
voir dire; the refusal to allow the father
of the defendant to establish the insanity
of cousin by reputation; the refusal to
admit in evidence an exemplifcation of the
record of a sanitarium. showing the mental
condition of certain relatives of the defend
ant; the admission of certain hypothetical
questions asked by the United States at

ALLEY EXTENDS UPWARD.
Permission to Build Over Cannot Be
Granted.

Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop several
days ago applied to the District Commis-
soners for a permit to connect the addi-
tional warehouse now being constructed by
the firm in square 1863 with its present
building. 1t appears these buildings abut
on ffteen-foot public alley in the square,
and the permit applied for contemplated
leaving the alley unobstructed up to the
second floor Of the buildings. and above
that the connection Of the second, third
and fourth floors was to be incosed. There
being a question involved as to whether
such a connection between the houses
would be an occupation of public space for
private purposes, the Commissioners re-
ferred it to their attorney, Mr. A. B. Du-
vail.
Mr.. Duvall has advised the Commission
ers that the public ownership Of an alley
Is not confined to its mere surface, but ex-
tends upward ad coelum. The proposed
construction. he Thinks. would not consu-
tute a mere temporary obstruction. but
would. in point of fact. be permanent, ex-
elusive occupation 1t would, he believes,
interfere with and-destroy some of the pur-
poses and USES for which alleys are created
and maintaiped, namely: Light, circulation
of air, erection OF, telephone poles. wires,
etc.
THE building regulation" saws Mr.. Du-
vail. which contemplates the construction
of a temporary, hight bridge across alleys,
is. in my Judgment a regulation of some
what doubtful validity 1t could only be
justified In view of the character Of the
bridge constructed-its inconsequential in
reference with the purposes and uses of the
alley. I am Of the. opinion that the permit
applied for to connect these warehouses
should not be granted"
Capt Beach. the Engineer Commissioner,
recommended that Messrs. Woodward &
Lothrop be informed that It is impossible,
tl,a loyr 70
permission to construct a building across
the alley. but that permission can be
granted them to build a bridge across it,
a single entrance upon the other side, the
bridge to consist of a floor and such railing
on the sides as may be necessary for safety.
This recommendation Capt. Beach's asso-
ciates have approved, and the firm will be
so informed.
