lions have not kept pace with the IN
crease. Then, too. it must be under
stood that every boarding house Ven
ture must assure good profits 20 the
business. Consequently, men are pay
ing what seems to them to be unreal
sonably high prices for what they are
getting.
Here is new venture. This hotel
is cot expected to be mae of wealth
to stockholders. On the sths~ hand,
it takes its position on par with such
III organization as the N IS Hotel,
New York, whose prime Object is to

is no charity, as such, in this matter.
To assume that you give nial what
he pays for, is to assume likewise that
he pays a reasonable amon,i FOR the
capital invested There is provided
every comfort that man should have,
and after he has paid for it he still
lives at lower rate Of expense than
has been known in Honolulu. From
the standpoint of the man who works
for his daily bread, this is not all. He
is, in addition, given every inducement
to live decent and sober life, without
having constantly thrust before his at
tention associations that are necessar-
lily degrading.
From the standpoint OF the employ
err the need for this hotel has been al
ready partly emphasized. There are
firms here in town who are just now in
the throes of expensive troubles, arts
ing from their having given no thought
to the conditions under which their
employees must work. 1t is submitted
that it is legitimate and strictly in the
line of business for firms who employ
labor, to give this matter considera-
ton. In the first place they want to
keep their labor, and not have it leave
in disgust for the Coast. In the second
place, they want TO insure six days
good labor, for which good wages are
paid and good six-day laboring men
must begin work on Monday in good
condition The way they are housed
will determine in large measure wheth-
er the Saturday night and Sunday
spree takes place. for which the en-
ployers pay in cash out of the depre-
ciated labor in the following week.

AT first people spoke OF it as philan-

one firm is finding difficulty in keeping

who comes to this country, whether
he be a clerk, skilled mechanic or Ia

Now In the water.
The launching of the battleship Ohio
took place at San Francisco Saturday.
It was the great event which attracted
to the Pacific coast President McKin-
ley and his cabinet, the majority OF
the Ohio congressional delegation,
Gov. Geer of Oregon, the governor of
Nevada and numerous other state Of
ficials and congressman. The steel
clad hull slid from its cradle twenty
six minutes after the hour of noon in
the presence of the chief executive and
several thousand spectators. The
President met the employees of the
builders at the wharf and was pre-
Sented with souvenir which the men
prepared for him. When all but the
last rope holding the ship was gone
Miss Barber, niece of Mrs. Mckinley,
pressed an electric button, causing the
knife to drop, severing the cord which
held the last stay. As the ship began
to glide down the ways, Miss Helen
Desh1er dashed the bottle of cham
paigne which hung by q ribbon from
the bows and christened the vessel.

ence with his diplomatic colleagues to
secure a still further reduction in the
aggregate amount of the indemnity.
This government adheres to its asser-
tiOnS that China is not able to pay
more than 5000 600, 900. Nothing was
said in Mr.. Rockhilrs dispatch in re-
gard to the interest. The answer of
the Chinese plenipotentiaries is &C
cepted at Washington as evidence of
China's willingness to comply with any
demands for indemnity made by the
powers. and to that extent the interna-
tional situation is simplified. Navy
department has sent orders to Rear
Admiral Kempff, acting commander of
the Asiatic station, to send home the
ships Concord, Marietta and Castine
during the latter part of the coming
summer. This is in pursuance of the
policy announced some time ago of re-
ducing the naval strength in the east.
The Bennington, Petrol. Oregon New
ark and Brutus have already been or
dered home, so that with these three
ships there is a total reduction CT the
fleet in Asiatic waters to about forty
two vessels.

Nine Killed and Many VIII Die.

Nine men were killed and probably
q score fatally injured by an explosion
in the shaft of the Georges Creek Coal
and Iron company at Pennington, w.
Va. At least ten men are still in the
mine, and as the shaft was still ablaze
tonight it was impossible to make an
effort to rescue them. 1t may be a day
or two before the flames can be sub
dued. One dead body has been recov-
cred, and fourteen miners have been
taken out, a number of whom are not
expected to live. known to be dead:

For several years it has been gener-
ally known that the southern portion
of Coles county, Illinois, lay within
the oil and gas belt which extends
from Findlay, Shelby county, east TO
the Indiana fields, but no particular at
tention was paid to the fact until
few days ago, when three prominent
Indiana experts and capitalists, who
have inspected the territory, an
nounced their findings. At Findlay
both gas and oil have been struck. At
Windsor one well on the Smyser farm
was opened that expelled a current OF
gas, which, when lighted, could be
seen here, a distance of twelve miles.
Last Tuesday, while drilling on the
Sargent farm, crude oil was struck,
which readily burned.

and money scattered on the floor. He
said he was attacked and fired on by
two men, and that he had returned the
fire. Although the bank is in the heart
Of the city, the men could have entered
and escaped by the rear. The police
have been unable to find any trace Of
the thieves. An examination of the
books tonight seems to point to

The bank of Danforth, Ill, was

The outer door of the burglar proof
safe was completely destroyed. The
burglars failed to get the money chest

Of steel off the door with explosives.
The damage to the safe, furniture and
fixtures was about $4,000. The work
was evidently that Of experts.
