At a meeting of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Company held yes
tcrday afternoon II was decided that
| the vice president. j. Il. Anterior, call
q special meeting OF the stockh olders
for Wednesday, the 9TH OF May, for the
purpose OF making certain alteration
and amendments TO the bylaws, and
also an Increase in the capital stock

also decided that "A further meeting of
the stockholders should be called for

authorizing the creation of a bond In
debtedness to the amount of 81 600, 900.
This Is in line with the arrangements
made by j. Il. Castle on his recent visit
to san Francisco. The intention is TO
exchange the present bond issue for the
new bonds to the extent of S315, 900 and
as much more OF the present issue as
the holders may be willing to exchange.
The balance OF the bonds will be held
for construction purposes In excess of
the additional contemplated mileage of
eight miles, the construction of which
Is to be begun Immediately, and will
be issued as may be required for fur
ther additional construction. This ar
rangcment, while not increasing ma
terially the present bonded indebted
ness OF the company. will enable the
company to extend its trackage to prac-
tically any desirable length without
further financial complications.

proceed Immediately with the construc-
ton of the tracks on King street with
view to reaching Kapiolani park and

In an inability to go on with essential

lone especially difficult situation to
meet arises from the fact that. in
stamping out the bubonc plague two
years ago. buildings and property In
Honolulu to the value OF 100000 were
destroyed by fire AS the destruction
was for the public benefit and was ef-
fectual. It Is felt by the local authori-
ties there is no law requiring compen-
satinn. but justice and equity demand
it. and. with President McKinley's full
approval. n committee wac appointed

This is now about completed. our
people feel that the stamping out OF
the plague was directly in the interests
of the nation as "A whole. for II 1t had
not been crushed In Honolulu it would
have gained entrance to the mainland

I'm consideration of the fact that
Congress has passed laws giving Gus

Philippines to the local government and
has also RENTED TO them duties col
lected in the United States on imports
from those islands. 1t would be no more
than fair FOR all the customs receipts To
go toward meeting the expenses OF the
plague. This, too, I'm view OF the fact
that the United States has already col
lccted from the Hawaiian Islands a
sum also equal TO the entire amount of
such expense.
IF some such relief Is not now
granted by Congress the local treasury
Will he for Il long time much crippled

greatly increase the cost of the local

NEW YORK. Sept. I2.-Deep interest
. is manifested here today in the meeting
which viii take place tomorrow in Har-
Irisburg between Governor Stone OF
Pennsylvania and John Mitchell presi-
dent CT ;he Mine Workers Union and
leader OF the strike in the anthracite
coal fields
There have been preparations for the
conference on the part Of the PennsyI-
vania statesmen and politicians. who
began TO hustle themselves a week or
Two ago in behalf of tie settlement of
the tie-up. and though little or nothing
has beer made known TO the public OF
the result o. the deliberations in which
Mr. Stone. Senator Quay, Penrose and
Finn. p A WiGener. and others have
taken part, the opinion TO be expressed
here today is that Mr.. Mitchell would
find himself in corner tomorrow.
So far as is known the operators and
other persons whom The politicians have
approached have not lent any aid to
whatever program Governor stone and
his feIl0w-conlreres may have formed.
No prospect Of mcdiatory Intervention
has been held out as a result Of these
negotiations. and the operators have re
peatej their assurance that they would
not compromise dght for principle
which they regarded as already won.
The public has had on1y reports to
feed on These reports have. however.
agreed more or less IN the main that
the proposition Of the politicians in
volyed first OF all an immediate return
Of the meH 10 work. something which
the operators have all along insisted on
as the preliminary requisite to any dis
EussiOn OF grievances.
