HOTEL CLERKS HAVE
QUIET CHRISTMAS DAY

The overworked hotel clerk-as he Is
wont to term hlmself-had an easy lay
yesterday. The hotels we're universally
deserted even by the regulars Every
one who had a home made it a point to
have his dinner in the bosom OF his
family. while those who dwell in single
blessedness managed TO gel an invita-
ton to share the Christmas cheer Of
some friend who is a benedict.
The festive travelling man. who makes
Washington his headquarters. had gone
home the buyer and the local merchant
and the casual visitor-aIl who populate
Washington carayansaries were missing.
and the roomy halls and vaulted corri-
doris OF the hotels echoed to the foot
falls OF the bellboys and porters only.
Washingtonians, after all. are domes-
tic in a measure, and il takes only a
general festival like the gladstone YuIe-
tide 10 demonstrate IL. For those who
were unfortunate enough to be obliged TO

rate menus were provided From the
humble tavern TO the palatiaI hotel, sDe-
cial fare was served. ranging in mag
nitude from the conv sntionaI turkey din
ner to a feast in score Of courses.
Several hotels had a special menu card,
which was given TO the guest as a SOU
venir.
In the evening at the several hotels.

was little life in the hotels. and dullness
and emptiness reigned supreme. Christ

Bishop Guistan Not to Travel.

Conflicting messages regarding the
health of Bishop Gulstan were received
from Hilo yesterday by Father Nalen-
tin. In the forenoon a message was
received from Father Oliver, as follows:
Bishop more pleasant; may live; will
go to Honolulu tomorrow with Fathers
Matthias and Libert."
In the afternoon another message was
received to the effect that the plans had
been changed and that the Bishop
would not be brought back here. At
the Mission it is believed that this
change was made either because the
passage over from Hilo would be very
rough this week, or that the Bishop is
in such a weak physical state that it
would cause him to suffer a further re-
lapse.

-FOUR SUITS
DISMISSED
Stockyards Fight
Has Now Been
Settled.

The financial troubles which have in
volved the Honolulu Stock Yards Co,
since the destruction of the newly built
stables by fire August 16. 1901, have
been satisfactorily settled and the four
suits growing out of the disaster were
dismissed yesterday morning by Judge
Robinson.
The suits in which dismissal was
ordered were as follows: Honolulu
Stockyards Co. VS.. Union Assurance
Co; Honolulu Stockyards Co. VS.. Ger
man American Insurance Co., Levers
& Cooke VS.. Honolulu Stockyards Co.
and NJ. l.. Smith VS.. Honolulu Stock
yards Co.
The complications which grew out OF
the fire and led to the above four suits
were many and curious. NJ. L. Smith
was the contractor who built the sta
bles and who had received sl2.5 500 from
the Honolulu Stockyards Co. for the
work, which was $4,000 less than the
contract price, which was sued for. The
Stockyards Co. claimed that the build
ing had not been accepted and filed a
counter claim for s12, 500 which amount
had been paid to Smith before the fire.
Levers & Cooke came in with a claim
against both parties to the above suit
for entertainments lien amounting to
A1S4.09, both Smith and the corpora
ton being made defendants, the ma
terial having been furnished for the
building.
The Honolulu Stockyards Co, had in
sured their interest in the building for
$500: S. 900 with the Union Assurance
Co., and s., 500 with the German Ameri-
can Insurance Co., both of whom re-
fused to pay the policies, claiming that
Smith was a co-insurer. Smith how
ever, had not insured the structure
while it was being built so he had nc
chance to recover for the loss from
the insurance companies in any event
The basis of settlement which resulted
in the dismissal of all four suits was
the payment by the insurance COM
panies of the two policies, for a triflt
less sum than $500. A portion of this
amount went to Levers d Cooke fol
payment of the material, and a portion
to NJ. l.. Smith, the contractor, who
also was responsible for the building
material furnished. The building as 4
stands went to the Honolulu Stock
yards Co., which has not as yet come
to any conclusion as to whether it shall
be rebuilt. The settlement was accept
able all around, all parties agreeing
to the dismissal of the suits.

Gable Making Progress.

The putting down of the underground
cable, if not interfered with by the rain
storms, should be finished early next
week, on the basis of the progress now
being made. Nearly half the cable has
been laid the daily amount now being
pulled into place being close to e-half
mile. The work has been somewhat de-
layed by the number of curves in the
roadway, necessitating the pulling in
of short lengths and the making of a
large number of spices. The conclu-
sion of the days work yesterday found
the cable almost to the bridge beyond
the Sheridan road on the ocean front.
