Sir. We respectfully beg leave io draw
your attention % the arrangement made
with YOU in April last when the leases
To- us 90 the Government lands on
Bridge street. iilo. were cancelled. At
that time We paid sum of money
which was to be expended on the inn

street over on the far side OF Waianue-

been done. and We are Informed by
our Hilo representative that Mr.. Gere
states that he has no authority in the
matter and cannot do. or promise to
do. anything towards the completion Of
this road without your instructions.
Very respectfully,

lulu. r. of H., August q. 1902 Messrs
r. II. Davies d Co, Honolulu. Cen
tleTen: | have to acknowledge the re-
coipt Of your communication of the
% inst. in regard to the improvement
and extension of Bridge street. Hilo.
for which you paid sum of money to
assist in defraying the expenses con-
nected Herewith and to say i'm reply
that the work of obtaining rights of
way for the extension of Bridge street
toward the Volcano road is being push
ed ahead as rapidly as possible as
however, you are aware of negotiating
with property owners takes time and
cannot be rushed more especially
when their claims for damages approx
innate 100000. This work was taken
in hand by the Road Board in May last
and up to the present time we have
been able to settle with but three of
the property owners. leaving approx
imately six more claimants to negoti
ate with.
1t is the intention of the Department
Immediately upon the settlement OF the
claims, to grade Bridge street and call
for tenders for the construction of a
new bridge across the Wailuku stream.
At present it is impossible to do any
work OF a permanent nature owing to
the condition of the road.
! fully appreciate your desire to have
this work done as early as possible but
you should take into consideration the
numerous obstacles always in evidence
when work Of this nature is undertake
en-.
There is no question that this road
will be improved and extended i'm the
near future and as you can readily
see the amount deposited by you tow
ards its accomplishment Is small as
compared with the total outlay requir-
ed
The regarding of King street will be
undertaken before the end Of the year:
the delay in doing this work Is settling
with property owners for the widening
of the same.
Very respectfully,

Superintendent of Public Works.

An unrccorded transaction between
James II, Boyd and T. II. Davies * Co
in which the sum of $1,000 was involved
will be one of the first things that ths
Superintendent of Public Works Will
be asked TO set right if he returns upor
the Sierra next Tuesday as he has
written he intends to do.
This amount was raid to Supt Boyd
to be used upon the Improvement OF
Bridge street, Hilo. by Davies & Co, in
consideration of which the government
agreed to cancel leases held by Davies
x Go. aad which the corporation de-
sirts to revoke.
,The books of the department iail to
disclose any indication of the payment
of that amount to the government,
though Davies Il Co. hold the following
receipt from Mr.. Boyd:

$4,000 Supt of Public Works
Neither is there a showing upon the
books of the treasurer that the money
was paid in as a government rCaliZa-
ton ur as a special deposit, as the law
requires should have been done. The
explanation offered by friends of Mr..
Boyd is that the money might nave
been given by him 10 one of his clerks
to deposit or to send to the Hilo road
board, to be used directly tor the work
for which 1t is intended.
Tho Improvement of Bridge street in
Hilp had been ordered by Mr. Boyd
he having instructed Marston Camp
bell, assistant superintendent, TO 90
ah"ad with the work shortly before
leaving for the mainland. The instruc'
tions sent by Mr.. Campbell To the Hilc
road board however contained no ref
erence to the $4,000, and ii the money
actually was sent To the read board, II
must have been done by MI Boyd per
sonally.
Mr.. Campbell said last night: Il wal

/ board, with the proviso that the worl
| should be done under the supervision o

To offset this comes news from TIa-

not making much headway in counter

When the Mauna Loa was at Napoo-
po2 on Hawaii, Wilcox and sam Pua
made use of the time there to make ad-
dresses. small crowd of natives,
among them being many of the Princes
followers, was attracted by the speak
ing, and at the height of a soaring ad-
dress Pua mounted chicken coop.
While waving his arms Srandly, the
coop gave way and Pua came to the
ground on his hands and knees, making
a ridiculous spectacle. The natives
laughed and one said, There's the fall
of the Home Rulers The saying took
with the crowd and Pua was subjected
to more ridicule. while many took the
incident as an omen OF disaster to the
Home Rulers there.

MAY DEFER TO PUBLIC WILL
Republicans Likely to Ignore Per-
sOnal Wishes on Cuban COnces-
aiOns for Peoples.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-The republican
members Of the ways and means committee
began their conferences today on the sub
ject of Cuban reciprocity and remained in
conference all afternoon. No decision was
reached and the conference will be resumed
tomorrow.
Much time was taken up in going g-over
the showing Cuba had made at the recent
hearings. 1t being urged by some Of the
members that any relief should be based
on the actual distress existing in the
islands and not upon any prospective and
indefinite distress of the future.
Another view strongly urged on the con-
ference was that no concession should be
made to Cuba which would endanger the
future of the American industries OF cane
or beet suSar.
It was stated after the conference that
the general tendency did not appear to be
strongly favorable to granting concessions.
although 1t was believed that in Difference
to the widespread public sentiment favora-
BILE to such concessions. some action in that
line should be, and probably would be, ma
tured at the subsequent conferences.

TO DISCOVER CAUSE OF DEATH
Chemical Analysis to BE Made of
stomach of Theodore
Achenbach.

CASPER, Wyo., Feb 1s.-(special Tele-
gram. IA strong feeling exists hero that
Mrs. Achenbach, widow Of Theodore Achen-
bach, who was supposed TO have commit
ted suicide Sunday. may be able to testify
as to the cause OF the husbands death. The
stomach of the dead man has been removed
and a chemical analysis will be made Of it.
The body was buried this afternoon.
The authorities have made a careful in
vestigation. but have been unable to find
the slightest evidence that Achenbach pur-
chased poison, nor can they find any evi-
dence that he carried any poison about
with him at any time.
Achenbach was insured for $1,000 in favor
OF his wife. but was about to make his
mother the beneficiary instead Of his wife.
A brother OF the deceased has arrived from
South Dakota and will probe the matter.
Achenbach formerly lived in Sturgis, S. D.
Mrs. Achenbach also formerly lived in stur-
gis and at one time was incarcerated in
jail in connection with the, death of ed
Greene of that place. At that time she was
known as Ray Taylor.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Rear Admiral
Count Won Baudissin returned here from
Philadelphia today. He and some Of his
aides were entertained at a private dinner
and this evening were entertained at the
theate-.
Mr.. Bldwell, collector Of the port, today
received orders from Washington saying
that no persons, except the reception COM
mittee, shall be allowed to board Kron
Prinz Wilhelm when it enters the port, and
that none shall be permitted beyond the
baggage inspection enclosure at the pier.
This is in furtherance Of the governments
plan to throw around the person of Prince
Henry all the safeguards possible. These
new orders have forced Collector Bidwell
to recall a large number Of passes which
permitted the holder TO go on the revenue
cutter to meet Kron Prinz Wilhelm. No
one will be allowed to witness the arrival
of the prince at the pier except members
of the reception committee and few privi-
legged persons who have friends aboard the
liner, and these designated will be kept in

COMMITTEE TAKES NO ACTION
Defers settlement of Proposed Change
i'm the PostOhce ApprO-
priatiOn Bill.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-The house COM
mittee on rules met today to consider the
advisability OF a special rule in connection
with the proposed changes of the rural
free delivery in the postoffice appropriation
bill. This subject will come up in few
days and there is a question as to whether
the change of rural carriers from the sal
ary to the contract system can be consid-
cred on an appropriation bill unless a spe-
cial rule is framed. For the present, how
ever, there will be no action, as 1t was de-
cided to await the developments Of the de-
bate.
The inaction of the committee on the
proposed rule covering rural free delivery
defeat of the proposed measure. Chairman
Loud of the postofice committee took this
view. Under the circumstances 1t is not
expected that the proposed rural carrier
changes will be carried out unless a special
bill is framed for that purpose.
After hearing q number Of experts on the
immigration question the house committee
on immigration today began executive ses-
sions ON the bill to codify and amend the
immigration laws, About half Of the bill
was gone over and approved, the proposed
increase Of head and the section providing
fine of 500 for each immigrant brought
here contrary to law going over for consid-
Grafton later.
The house committee on public lands to-
day reported the bill making a public res
ervation Of the tract In Arizona, including
the petriied forests.
