MUST WAIT FOR CASH.

Treasurer Lansing has caused con
sternation in the ranks of those who
have bills against the Government by
the issuance of a By Authority in which
he gives notice that payment on all
warrants will be deferred after this
date, excepting warrants for salaries
and payrolis.
The Treasurer also states that de
ferred farrants will have to be pre-
sented at his office to be registered and
will draw interest from the date of
registration at the rate of five per cent
per annum.
By this it will be understood that the
warrants for expenses of the legisla-
ture, actual running expenses of that
body including of course warrants for
their compensation as members of the
Legislature will be paid, but all other
warrants will be held up.
The Treasury is not empty but if all
the warrants which are now being is
sued by the Legislature were cashed
at once there would be little left to pay
the salaries each month of the en-
ployes of the government. AS these
salaries include those of the school
teachers throughout the Territory it
can readily be seen that there would
be great amount of distress amongst
government workers.

THE STRIKE

r HE strike at the Honolulu Iron
Works has taken new phase
Il The Iron Works has large con-
tracts on hand and the strikers assume
that the company could not afford to
remain idle with the obligations Incl
dental to these contracts unmet. The
Iron Works Co. has, however, made re-
sistance to the strikers demands a
matter of principle and has refused to
acquiesce in them no matter what the
consequences may be. The company
holds that compliance would be to vir-
tually turn over the business of the
! company to the control of the Union
the latter having demanded at the start
that none but members of the union
shall be employed and that the union
shall fix the rate of wages, and that
certain employee or employees shall be
discharged at the demand of the unicn.
The Iron Works company has been
endeavoring to get machinists from ;he
coast and has obtained some WHO hav"
gone to work. 1t has also been utiiiz
ing members of it's force usually engag
ed in other departments.
The amount of work on hand, is how
ever so large that the company does
not propose to wait any longer for a
possible settlement or until enough
machinists can be obtained to do all the
work required, but Mr.. Hedemann, the
manager, will leave by the Mariposa to-
morrow for the coast, taking with him
plans and specifications for about
100000 worth of work which he will
distribute among the machine shops on
the coast and the East.
AS this work consists of about seven
ty-flve per cent of labor 1t seems that
$4,000 worth of labor money which
would otherwise be spent in this city
in the next few months will be sent
abroad.
1t is understood that the strikers have
now reduced their demands to the dis
charge of the foreman. The Iron Works |
company claim that the grounds of
dissatisfaction are insufficient and de-
cline to discharge him.
In view of the fact that the original |
demands of the strikers involving any |
matter of principle, have been waived |
by them 1t would seem to be the part |
of wisdom as far as they are concerned.
to abandon the demand for the dis
charge of single workman.
Many of the individual strikers have
expressed their desire to return to work
but claim that they are afraid to do so
unless the Union acts as a whole. 1t Is

WINDING UP
THE BOER WAR

LONDON, April 9.-Lord Kitchener,
reporting to the War Office under dat.
of Pretoria, April s, says:
"Plumer has occupied Petersburg
with slight opposition. He captured
two locomotives and thlrty-nine
trucks"
The capture of Petersburg is re-
garded here as important. The place
is the termination of the railway. and
has been the capital of the Boer gov
eminent since the evacuation of Pre-
toria. The whole Northern Railway is
now in the hands Of the British.
According TO Lord Kitchener's dis
patch only one officer and one man
was killed. The Beers evacuated the
town during the night prior to Plu-
mer's arrival, after blowing up two
trucks laden with ammunition.
Lord Kitchener reports the capture
OF sixteen prisoners, fifty horses and
the depot of war stores at Boscnman's
Kop. Orange River Colony.
AS an offset the commander in chief
reports that n hundred men of the
British Lancers and Imperial Yeoman-
ry We're attacked by 400 Beers 10 the
northward OF Aberdeen. Cape Colony,
and that after several hours fighting
the British were surrounded and cap
tured, with the exception of twenty

eventually mount from that office to Il

came between such posts as Governor
and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
The whole conspiracy has for It's OBJ
ject the overturn of the missionaries
on the one hand and the prevention Of
complete native ascendancy on the
other. The Humphreys junta believes
that n little soft-soap for the native
politicians will induce them to take a
convenient back seat while n dozen or
more of haole carpet -baggers occupy
the choice boxes. All they want of the
natives are votes; and these they think
they can get through Wilcox, whose
anxiety to return to Italy as a repre-
of the United States, is al
ready evident to his close friends.
How the scheme will work, depends
on the fighting and staying powers of
Senator White and other Home Rulers
who have denied the right Of Wilcox or
any one else to sell them out to syn
1icate of white politicians.
