ONE ON KING STREET CARRIES
400 WIRES.
Institution That Promises to End In
duction for All Time-Other Smaller
Cables.

The telephone people believe that the
big, new cable being hung between the
central station to Victoria street, on
King street, will effectually and final
ly settle their troubles with induction
and the kicks of the dear people. 1t
appears, upon most careful investiga-
tion, that the effect of the electric wires
on the system has been greatest in the
area to be occupied by the cable, and
that if the pilikia is eliminated from
this district the trouble IN the rest OF
the town can be easily handled.
The big cable now being put up
carries 400 wires or 200 sets of wires
1t will reach more than 200 houses
however, as in some sections of the
residence districts number of houses
VIII be reached by one set of cabled
wires. At least 800 houses will in this
way experience the benefit of the i'm
provement
The cable was built at the factory in
the east There are 400 wires careful
ly wrapped together. AS may be ina
gined the wires are very small, not over
a fourth the size of the ordinary tele-
phone wires. Each one OF them is
wrapped in insulating cloth and over
that is coat of parafine. The whole
coil is then wrapped in a coat of lead.
This lead is very soft so that the cable
gives like an ordinary wire, without
breaking, and is easily handled.
Two other cables of smaller size have
been ordered by the company. One
will go to Makiki and the other will
probably be used for Nuuanu valley
They are only halI the size of the big
cable on King street that is now at
tracing so much attention.
The method of stringing this cable"
of 400 wires, is interesting. First
strong steel cable like that used in
ships rigging only smaller, is strung
along the posts and drawn taut. Then
the insulated, lead covered cable, which
of course is very heavy is carried along
and hung loosely to the smaller steel
cable which is to carry it. Then a
man sitting in a sort of a trolley sus-
pended from this steel cable. stretches
and fastens the lead covered cable of
insulated wires, firmly to it,
Manager Corcoran feels that the diff
culties of the telephones in the busi-
ness center are practically at an end.
No cables will be used down town. As
soon as the trouble with the outside
lines are eliminated the business
phones will work perfectly.

BEN HOLIDAY DEAD.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13-Infor-
nation has been received in this city
that Ben Calvert Holiday, the only son
of Mrs. w. G. Irwin, and once a pro-
minent member of local society, is dead
in Philadelphia. Death resulted from
illness from which the young man had
suffered for the past few years. Re
Gently a sea voyage to Honolulu was
undertaken for his health, but the
change of climate produced no improve
ment.
On his return to this country he was
taken to Philadelphia and placed in
DIR. Weir MitcheIl's Hospital, where
everything possible was done for him,
but without avail. Although his friends
here knew he was i'll, the news of his
death came as a great shock.
Mr. Holiday was a native of this
city, and was 26 years of age. He was
a graduate of Belmont School, San Ma
teo County. Subsequent to his gradu-
alton he went on an extended tour
through the Hawaiian and South Sea
Islands. On his return he held a posi-
tion in the Nevada Bank, but was
forced to resign because of i'll health.

BUILDINGS FOR NAUuOLA
GROUND BROKEN FOR FINE NEW
HOUSES.
Quarantine Island to Have the Best
of Facilities-Structures to Cost over
$4,000.

Great improvements are being made
on quarantine island by the Federal
quarantine authorities. In the past
week ground has been broken for a
number of new buildings over there
that will supply the best of facilities for
handling passengers that may arrive
there from infected ports 1t is believed
that the accommodations will be am
pie, and the character of the new build
ings will be of the very best. The con-
tract price for the buildings was slight
ly over $4,000. Beardslee & Page have
the matter in hand. The contract was
let by DR.. Cofer, acting for the Marine
Hospital Service department.
The executive building will be the
most conspicuous of the new struc-
lures. 1t will occupy a prominent posi-
ton on the town side of the island near
the landing. 1t will be two stories, of
wood and cement, and handsomely
finished. The upper floor will be as
signed to the officers of the island for
quarters. Below will be business rooms,
offices, laboratory and dispensary.
On the southeast side of the island,
near the beach, will be the hospital.
This building will be fitted up with an
eye to light and air, being especially
designed for the tropics. 1t will be
quite large and roomy and will have
comfortable accommodation Tor sixteen
patients at a time, although twenty
five could be cared for in a pinch.
On the west side of the island there
will be constructed four barracks, or
houses for the accommodation of well
passengers. They will be very long
and wide, and will be fitted up like
modern homes. Each one of these
houses will accommodate most COM
fortably fifty people, making 200 for the
four.
AS stated before ground has already
been broken and the work will be fin
ished as quickly as possible. To DR.
Cofer is due the credit of the plans and
the excellent manner in which the
houses are to be fitted up. 1t is the in
tention, also, to renovate the other
buildings there so that the islands set
tlement will soon not be bad specta'
Gle to look upOn.

MINISTER NUS WIFE HERE.
GOING ON THE GAELIC TO HONG
HONG.
Was Met at Wharf BY Consul Yang
Wei Pin and Vice Consul Goo
Kim.

Mrs. Wu Ting Fang, the wife of the
Chinese minister at Washington is a
passenger on the Gaelic for Hong Kong,
She was met at the steamer this morn
ing by Chinese Consul General Yang
Wal Pin, Vice Consul Goo Kim, Mrs.
Yang Wal Pin and other members of
the local Chinese consulate. Mrs. Wu
was taken to the consulate and also to
the residence of Wong Kwai. She win
not remain here simply stopping over
during the stay of the steamer.
Mrs. WI is regarded as one of the
most, if not the most progressive wo-
men of China. She has resided In Anne
rica for some years and her acquain-
tance with the diplomatic corps and
life in Washington has done much TO
cause her to widen her views or the
sphere of her sex and make her new
woman of China"
While Mrs. Wu does not speak the
English language she understands it
enough to have quite an advantage
when she is being interviewed She
says that she is greatly in favor of
progressive ideas for the women of her
country. They are not however res
tricted in their liberty nearly so much
as Americans believe, for in some of the
provinces they are given almost as
much liberty as are Americans. Mrs
WI experienced great difficulty and
much embarrassment when she was
first called upon at Washington to give
diplomatic receptions but the other la
dies proved very considerate and soon
her discontinue was forgotten. She
succeeded in acquiring a little English
which was a great aid to her.
Mrs. Wu still sticks to the Chinese
method of dress. Indeed, in an inter
view she said that she considered the
Chinese dress gave far more freedom tC
the women than did the American dress
She is quite a diplomatic little woman
and She avoids any disagreeable COM
parisons between America and China.
Mrs. WI comes of very distinguish
ed family of Chinese. Her father was
educated at the University of Edinburg
in the medical course. Her brother is
Mr.. Ho Yow the polished consul-gen-
eral at San Francisco.
She is going home on visit to hel
relatives

DROWNED IN A CANE FLUME
FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR WAL.
LUKU MILL.
A Little Child Falls Into Flume and
is Carried by the Stream to Her
Death.

WAILUKU, Maui. June 20.-The two
year old child of Domingos Cardozo was
found on Tuesday night by Police OFF,
Ger Paresa in the Wailuku Sugar Cos
cane ilume just where the cane drops
on the cane carrier at the Wailuku Su-
gar Mill. Two twin children were miss
ed by the parents on TAesdaX evening,
and the matter was at once reported
to the police authorities. Police Off
GERS Paresa and Williama were sent
out in search of the missing child, and
after five hours, Paresa found the
child in the cane flume near the mill
The child was dead when she was
found
1t seems that the children had been
playing about the fume around four
O'Clock and evidently the child was
caught in the rapid water which car
ried her to the mill. The other child
was also playing about the hume but
she was found at home about half an
hour after the other child was found
missing. On Tuesday night while the
officers were searching for the child,
another child stated to them that she
had seen a Chinaman pick up some
thing from the hume but what 1t was
she did not know. She also said that
she saw him drop the article and go
away. The officers then looked for the
Chinaman and found the man a little
| below the Sugar Cos mill. After ask
ing the Chinaman many questions he
did not give the officers any satisfaction
but it seemed that he knew the purpose
of their investigation. He asked the
officer if he was looking for a missing
child belonging to a Portuguese be
longing TO Portuguese before any
questions had been put to him At
midnight Officer Paresa with alantern
in hand found the body of the dead
child. and brought her to the Sheriff.
The body was then turned over to the
parents who lived a little below George
Hons residence.

BOATS SWEPT OUT 70 SEA
NARROW ESCAPE OF MAUTS
SAILORS MONDAY.
One Boat Was Smashed on Rocks.
After Terrible Experience.

The island schooner Luka arrived
from KohOlalele late Wednesday night,
with part of a shipwrecked boats crew
from the steamer Maui. Fortunately
the Maui was not wrecked but the two
men who were brought here by the
Luka are members of her crew. Both
in company with three others, had a
very narrow escape from being swamp
ed off the Hamakua coast last Monday.
The Maui was at Kukaiau and hdu
several boat crews out at work. Tile
wind was very high and the sea quire
rough. The weather increased in seVe-
rity until finally it was decided to step
work as there was danger of the boats
being swept out to sea. All but two
of the boats got back to the steamer.
Although there were native boatmen in
both of these the men were unable to
cope with the wind and sea and gra-
dually were carried away from the har-
Dor of Kukaiau. Both crews fought
desperately but without success. They
were rapidly carried away The wind
was too strong and the sea too rough
for them to attempt to fight against
those forces so the men cOntented
themselves with keeping the boats from
capsizing,
Both boats were swept over to KohO-
lalele and here one of them found re-
fuge. The other was not so successful
for 1t was swept onto the rocks and
completely smashed. All of the five
occupants escaped without injury how
ever.
The other boat was brought along
side the schooner Luka and the men
were taken out of the little shell. They
had been carried five miles. Three OF
the men decided to remain at Kohola-
lele but the two others who were color.
ed men remained with the Luka and
came to Honolulu.
