WestOn,a Mill burned.

The new threo-story building erected
last year by l.. W. Weston on the site OF
his building that WAS destroyed by fire
In April, 1900, WAS very badly damaged
by the destroying element, Wednesday
evening, Nov. 9th. The loss on the
building is conservatiyely estimated by
the owner at 50 900.
The two upper stories were occupied
by Adams & Caswell for planning, jig
saving and fitting lumber for building
purposes, and the storing Of doors, sash,
blinds and various building materials and
they did a flourishing business. They
occupied the old building on the same
site in April, 1900, and had been running
in the new building about one year. The
floors were fitted up with new and ex-
pensive machinery and they had every
thing to their liking. Fortunately, their
stock of building material was not MS
large as usual because of the lateness of
the season. They had an insurance OF
$1,000 on THEIR machinery but none upon
their stock in trade aud upon their lum-
Der on hand. There was some salvage
on machinery, but not enough to bring
the loss down to the amount of insur.
ance by good many dollars.
The lower floor was occupied by Nc.
Quillan & Pooler, carpenters and joiners
and Marcus A. Parsons, manufacturer OF
boxes. McQullan & Pooler had shop
fitted up in very nice shape with machin.
cry and tools for all kinds of work in
$3.50 on machinery, tools and fixtures
but none on the stock on hand. The dam.
age on this floor WAS largely by water
Mr.. Parsons carried no insurance.
S. W. Gould was also loser, by hav
ing doors, windows, etc., for his building
on Water street, ir the mill to the value
of $500 or more with no insurance.
The cause of the fire is matter o.
speculation. Some say hot box, bu

| For some reason the fire alarm whistle
did not properly respond to the call from
the boxes at which the alarm was given
Bells were rung, but all the firemen die
not hear them or understand the call anC
therefore there was delay, variously
estimated at from five to fifteen minutes
at time when minutes were liable to be
worth thousands of dollars. The firemeI

could not be played upon directly be

OPENS UP WITH
 STRONG SESSION First Territorial Legislature of
 Hawaii
OBJECTIONS TO COOPER
Territorial Secretary Elected From the Floor of the House-lndependent Home Rule Party In Control.
 Other News of Interest.

Honolulu. March l, via San Francisco, March 1.-The first territorial legislature of Hawaii began its sessions in Honolulu on the 10th of last month and has been in session ever since.
 On the third day of the session Secre- tary of the Territory Cooper was uncere- moniously ordered out of the house and escorted by the sergeant-at-arms. Acting under the section of the territorial act which provides that he shall record and preserve the laws and proceedings of the legislature" Secretary Cooper took up Il place on the floor of the house with stenographer to secure a record of the proceedings. Representative Beckley, h. dependent, offered a resolution requesting him to leave. The motion set forth that his presence was violation of the rule that the departments of executive, ju- dicial and legislative must be kept sep arate, and 1t was urged in debate that Governor Dole had put Cooper where he was with view teintimidating members by letting them see that the executive of flee was taking a stenographic report of the proceedings.
 Cooper was declared by Republicans to be present as representative of Presl- dent Mckinley, as he had been ordered to transmit a report to Washington but even this plea did not deter the inde- pendents. After long debate they passed the Beckley resolution by a vote of 20 to g. the nine being all the Republicans in the House.
 It Is understood that Cooper has sent to Washington for ruling as to the mean ing of instru ctions sent him to send a record
 J. Akina, independent, half Hawaiian, half Chinese, member from the island of Kauai, has been made speaker of the House, and pr. Nicholas Russell of Ha- wall president of the Senate. Russell is a white man.
 With both houses in control of the h. dependent Home Rule party, and contain ing a majority of native Hawaiians, the Legislature has already been the scene of some remarkable proceedings, and the session promises to see many radical measures adopted
 The question of languages is another source of trouble. The organic act says all proceedings of the Legislature shall be conducted in the English language. Half the members cannot speak English, and Hawaiian interpreters have been em- ployed ih both houses. It is the opinion of some lawyers that will invaldate all proceedings.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF IRON TRADES
Enormous Home Consumption
 is Evidenced
PRICES CONTINUE UPWARD
Premiums are Offered for Prompt De- llveries of Steel-Domestic Con- dltions are Bright, But Euro-
 pean Outlook Is Blue.

New York March 7.-Discussing the condition of the iron and steel trades, the Iron Age says:
 Evidence of the enormous home con- suN-tion of this country is pouring in from day to day and Is a surprise to the most sanguine. For the time being 1t cer- tainly disposes of the doubts as to the possible effect of a sharp decline In our iron and steel export businss.
 Nothing has been heard as yet in re- gard to this seasons ore prices. but ap- parently the trade has gone ahead with little reference to what decision may be finally reached. While the heavy buying of pig iron for steel making purposes seems to have exhausted itself the large consumers being covered, there has been heavy trading In foundry pig iron. The leading firms of pig iron merchants re- port that their sales have averaged close to 100000 tons per day lately.
 Not only the principal melters of iron, like the cast iron shops, and the maleable iron founders have been con tracing for delivery beyond the middle of the year. but the great mass of small founders, too. have been placing orders.
 "Phices have advanced from seventy five cents to one dollar per ton above the lowest point quietly made early in Feb ruary and the market closes firm.
 The steel market is still very bare and premiums are quite generally paid for prompt delivery over pool prices. It Is probable that the billet association may this week decree that the tagging official prices catch up with the mar ket
 'The domestic consumption of finished material continues extraordinary. AS example the fact may be quoted that dur ing February, short month, the Ameri- can Steel and Wire Company received specifications aggregating 10000 tons, the heaviest month in it's history. Like information comes from the plate mills, the structural shops, the sheet mills and the bar mills, Reports from the various distributing markets indicate that work Is still coming up in flow, that em- pioyment up to the middle of the year is we'll assured In all heavy lines.

MACARTHUR'S PLAN TO DISARM THE REBELS-lNDUC
 OFFERED BY AMERICAN GEN.

Manila, March 7-Additional induce ments have been made to the insurgents to surrender their guns. General Mac Arthur has directed all department com manders to release one prisoner for every rifle surrendered. An insurgent who sur renders his gun will be permitted to name the prisoner to be released provided no exceptional circumstance requires this mans detention, in which case another selection will be allowed.
 It is rumored in the local press that the Carman case will be referred to Wash ington, and that a statement on certain matters concerning the case will be ob- tained from Major-General Otis.
 The Federalists report that as a result of the negotiations with the insurgent general, Trias, who is in Southern Luzon, Trias will probably soon surrender.
