KAMEHAMEHA ALUMNI.

A very interesting meeting of the Ka-
mehameha Alumni Association was
held at the club house last evening. The
most important thing done was a re-
duction of the quorum from a half of
the members in the city, which would
be about thirty, to nine members.
Hencetofore, on account of the large
number necessary to make up a quorum
1t was frequently impossible to transact
business. With only nine members
quorum can always be secured.

Arguments in a Suit Against the
Government Set fog Next Week.
The Court of Claims will hear argument
next week in claim against the United
States for SlO1, $50, the claimant being the
Pneumatic Gun Carriage and Power Com
pany- This company in 1888 entered into
contract with the Government to install
upon the United States monitor Terror
machinery for pneumatic system of
working turrets and steering gear for the
vessel. The contract price was TO be
VIZ, 49, and the machinery was to be in
stalled on board at Boston. The contract
was next entered into for installing ma
cainery at Brooklyn for which the Gov
eminent would make an additional allow
ance not exceedingly S11 800.
The work progressed so slowly that in
1893. the Navy Department under an ar
rangement with the contractors. took
charge of the machinery of the contractor
to pay the Government for the EXPENSE
thus incurred. In 1897 it became evident
that settlement would have to be made
and board was appointed to adjust the
claims of both parties. 1t resulted in an
allowance to the contractors of $6S44
which was accepted and release given
the Government. The contractors some
time ago filed suit for the amount stated,
claiming. among other things that the
Government had expended $4,000 more on
the work than was necessary This claim
had already been disa1lowed by the board
Another claim was for the payment of a
superintendent, which the Government
contended was unjust, as the man had
been working for the company in perfec-
ing a pneumatic disappearing gun car
riage which had nothing to do with the
contract
