WHOLESALE ltoBBERl les.

The Stangenwald building was visit
ed by a burglar Monday night. Very
little money was secured although
enough offices were entered to have
realized a decent sum.
The offices of the Hawaiian Engineer
ing and Construction Company and Nc
Clellan and Pond on the fifth flooY of
the hui were entered. A roller top
desk at the former place was broken
open and about $50 in cash secured.
The roller top desk belonging to Mr.
Mcclellan was also broken open but
nothing was secured. Levers and
Cooke on the ground floor were robbed
of a couple of dollars.
Just how entrance was secured to the
various places is not clear. None of
the doors were broken omen and it is
likely that the burglar either climbed
over the transom or else had skeleton
key which would open the various doors
where he entered. So far as can be
learned no attempt was made to take
anything but money. There is no clue
to the robber

DUE HEARS FROM KNOX BROWN AAT FOR RARB AFTER NAG0N AAN0 NEAR

and though there are purposes for
which 10 is used in large amounts. the
average of 1t5 gallons every day for
every person living in the city Is rec
garded as very high. A large part of
the water is wasted. Irrigation of
lawns and gardens throughout the city,
though restricted To two hours Ia the
morning and Two hours ina the after
noon, takes a vast quantity.
There is a great deal OIL waste" said
Brown this morning, after trip to look

We must have rain soon il We are to
avoid trouble. AS il is we have found
IL necessary to run the pumping sta
tions day and night
by running the pumps at night we
are keeping up with the consumption,
but that is al we can do. About four
or five million gallons a DAY come from
the pumps and the rest from the
springs in thu mountains. If rain does
not come the flow from the springs
may lessen.
The dry spell is an unusually long
one and of course il may end at any
time Often in "A single night there are
showers that are enough to fill the
lower reservoir and such showers may
come at any time. l hope they Will. In
the meantime people ought not to waste
water"
The time of low water is being taken
advantage of to do some work in the
reservoirs. There is a gang of men at
work at the lower Nuuanu reservoir,
fixing up the overflow channel, into
Nuuanu stream. The reservoir does
not look as if it would need any over
flow channel for long -ime, but a few
clouds of the right kind lowering about
the peaks on either side of Nuuanu
valley would soon work a change. AS
it is now, even Tantalus is ury. Thin
white clouds come and go, but of real
rain there is very unusual dearth.

LILIuoKALANI ENTERTA1Ns-
Celebrated the Sixty-thir Anniversary
OF Her Birthday.

BX-Queen Liliuokalani celebrated her
sixty third birthday yesterday at her
Washington Place home. Natives from
all over the island began arriving be-
fore daylight. The Queen was early
astir to receive her guests and her for
mer subjects and retainers. The Ha-
waiian band led by Captain Berger ten
dered her a serenade early in the fore
noon.
So numerous were the invitations
Liliuokalani extended that for conve-
nience of entertainment a part were in
vited to a breakfast at $3.50 O'Clock in
the morning and the others to luau at
2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. In all,
over 500 guests were thus entertained.
From IL to l o'clock the general pub
lie was received by the Queen in the
east room. At this reception number
of organizations paid their respects in
a body. Among these were the Latter
Day Saints Relief Society, the Aloha
Alma and the native company of the
National Guard.
The breakfast and the luau was serv-
ed in tents on the grounds. At the
afternoon luau the Queen was escorted
to the tent by United States JUDGE NJ
M. Estee, Prince David KawananaBoa
escorting Mrs. Estee The Queen sat
between Judge Estee and Bishop Will
lis.
Very much of the old ceremonial of
the Hawaiian court was maintained
during the entertainment of the day.

FOOD FAMINE IS RAISED
BARK OLYMPIC ARRIVES TODAY
FROM FRISCO.
Brought Large Quantity of Flour and
Groceries and General Merchandise
Prices May be Lowered.

Probably the most welcomed vessel
which has come into this port in many
years was the bark Olympic that arriv-
ed this morning from San Francisco.
With the appearance of the vessel came
the assurance that the threatened ia
mine would be averted for the Olympic
brought a large quantity of flour and
other food stuffs for which the COM
munity has been in much need for
weeks past.
Captain Dipbs experienced a good
passage down in 16 days with fair winds
AS usual, he brought a big Ioad on deck
and was very successful in not losing
any stock. 1t was the cargo in the hold
however that interested Honolulu peo-
pie. The arrival of the Olympic has
been awaited with more general in
terest than even thot of mail steamer
from the Coast. Every man, woman
and child in honolulu and vicinity was
more or less interested in the advent of
the boat, for the arrival of the vessel
meant that the threatened famine in
flour and various other food staples
growing out of the strike in San Fran
CISCO would be averted.
The creates. commodity which the
Olympic brought was flour. Her freight
list shows that she carries a total of
about $4,000 sacks and packages of
flour. In addition to this, there is about
The majority of the -four is consigned
to Hackfeld and Company. Theo. H.
Davies and company have several thou
sand sacks consigned to them while
Henry May and the Washington Mer-
camille company have a good sized
quantity each. Walters and Waldron
are also consignees to a thousand
packages of flour.
A large quantity of merchandise was
also brought on the vessel. The exact
character of the stuff does not appear
from the manifest but is is said to con-
sist largely of staples. Hacl5feld and
Company also received $50 packages OF
groceries and 425 cases of condensed
milk. May & Company got so cases of
canned goods.
The greater part of the cargo of food
stuffs is said to have been already dis
posed of so in this event it will mean
that the stuff will probably be placed
before the trade without delay and the
prices of goods may be reduced con-
siderably.

DANISH WEST INDIES.
Sale of the Islands Before End of
Year

COPENHAGEN, August pa prom
inent politician in the counsels of the
ministry today told a representative of
the Associated Press that the sale of
the Danish West Indies, it was con-
fidently expected, would be consummat-
ed before the close of the present year.
The King and the new cabinet have
both contended that it is politically ne
cessary for Denmark to dispose or the
islands, and a majority of the Rigs
dag favors the sale as does also the
public. The only dissatisfaction, the
correspondents further say, arises in
connection with the price, $3.50 900 be-
ing too small However, the final ap-
proval of the Rigsdag is believed to be
assured, and it is expected that legis-
lative ratification will be given in
washington in December.
