at which they were staying on Camp
street, near. Griffin at 8 o'colck last

a white man was arrested and locked
up at police headquarters. His cloth

bad scalp wound. The Walker woman,

The establishment of the alarm call
system here will be of immense advan-
tage to the police authorities. At the
present time the police are dependent
upon the telephone system for calls in
TO the remorter parts of the city. Any
one who is acquainted with that sys-
TEN knows how unreliable it is. Wheth-
er it is the fault of the instruments or
the fault of the switchboards or the
fault of the operators, or the fault OF
all three, is immaterial. 1t is utterly
unreliable, and as often as not one
fails to get a connection. With such an
alarm call system as it is proposed to
put in here, there will be no unrelia-
bility. The central police authorities
will be able to keep in closer touch
with outlying police guards, and hurry
mp messages will have a chance of
reaching the station house at once.

kilograms received via the Orient
yesterday, stated that Miss Stone was
dead. kilograms of later date receiv-
ed from the Coast, say that she is still
alive, but that the negotiations for hel
release seem to be no further advanced
than ever. Bulgaria has put on a bolc
front and practically replies to the
United States that she will not consider
herself responsible for anything that
has happened or may happen to Miss
Stone and says that any blame in the
matter rest upon the United States for
protracting the negotiations. Practi-
cally this mean, that the Bulgarian
government blames the United States
for not aging the ransom right down,
and one naturally begins to think what
percentage of the ransom may the Bull
garian government be reckoning on. 1t
is a long distance from the United
States to Bulgaria, and it is upon this
that the Bulgarian government may be
reckoning. But the arm of the United
States is long and she has a way of get
ting her demands enforced.

President RooseVelt's message will
bear a great deal of study. The points
most of interest to us, are the land
policy, which will develop the small
farming class, a policy advocated by
Governor Dole for years past; recipro-
city with Cuba is probably the second
in Importance to US. This will meet
with vigorous attack from the sugar
States of the South, and from all in
terested in the beet, sugar industry.
The Geary exclusion act is recommends
ed for re-enactment Upon this again
there is divided opinion. Even the cab
met itself is by no means a unit upon
this point, and there are strong Oppo-
nents of the act in the Senate, though
it is popular in the House. Lastly, as
far as we are concerned, the references
with regard to the cable and the canal
are highly interesting and encouraging.
The one will in a measure revolution
iZe our tone of thought, and the other
will revolutionize our commercial me-

Oahus contribution to the income tax
shows that the constant cry of Oahu
having an undue share of the tax re-
turns is all nonsense. An amusing in
stance of this occurred not long ago at
Olaa. One of our officials held a meet
ing at which all the chronic kiekers
were present. The latter claimed as
usual, that Honolulu gobbled all the
taxes and left nothing but the shells
for the outer districts. The tax assess
or was present and the official called
upon him to show what taxes were
raised by the Olaa people, The amount
reported was 100000. Then, diving into
his pockets, the official produced the
appropriation bill and showed that for
the mere matter of roads for Olaa $110,-
900 had been appropriated, and then
there was her share of schools, police,

DR. HILLS CANNOT CONE.
OVERWHELMED WITH MANY CARES
HIS DECLARATION is A KEEN DIS
APPOINTMENT.

Some time ago the Mems Literary
and Social Club, which has been a
flourishing organization in Newtown
for several years and which has been
the means of promoting many things
of benefit to the people at large, ap-
pointed committee whose business
should be to try to get some noted
speaker here during during the winter.
This committee consisted of Rev Otis
Mccarthy. After considerable cores
pondence with several men of note,
the committee was greatly encour-
aged by receiving a letter from Rev
Newell Dwight Hills, D. D., the en-
inent and popular pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, N. Y, saying that
although overwhelmed with work at
the time, If he were written to again
about February l, he would see what
he could do. The following letter,
however, recently received, addressed
to Rev Otis w. Barker, chairman OF
the Mems Club committee, settles the
matter finally, for this season at least,
in putting aside all hopes OF New
town audience having chance to hear
him. The letter is printed to show
Ul1C oOA HooNAAPo oAA~o "~~o
made by the Mems club to bring a
man of great reputation into the place,
and as we'll to show the noble, gener-
Gus spirit of DR. Hills, a greatness that
is greatness indeed, greatness OF soul.

Brooklyn, N. Y,
February 16, 1901.
My dear Mr. Barker: Your very kind
letter has come to me. 1t so happens
that since I wrote to you last, my
second pastor has been taken Ill, and
the third has resigned to take larger
field. This leaves me. entirely alone,
to do the work of four men, and | am
tied hand and foot with the work in
volved, funerals, etc. l am exceedingly
sorry, but it is now out Of the question
for me to go to you at all this spring.
The money consideration would have
no weight in the matter, I would be
glad,to come if it were: possible. MY
first pastor has leave of absence until
next fall, and unless can get some one
to. assist me soon, l hardly know how
lam to carry all the work that reees-
Sarily falls upon me. l know you will
appreciate the situation, and I assure
you it is a matter of great regret to
me that I cannot fulfill your request.
:: Very cordially yours,
...-. . Newell Dwight Hills.
