great addition to the group of buildings
surrounding thC campus 1t is the first
of a series to be erected according to a
general plan laid out by Mr.. Newcomb
to carry out the idea of making Puma
hou a University. Both of the above
mentioned buildings have been erected
with unusual rapidity, which reflects
great credit upon the business methods
of both architects and contractors.
Prior to Mr.. Newcombs arrival Mr..
Dickey had designed many of Honolu-
LUIS most beautiful and appropriate
buildings, including the Central Fire
Station, Progress block, Stangenwaid
block, Kaiulani and Kaahumanu
schools, Bishop Memorial Chapel, Ger

Mr.. Newcomb, many years located in
Boston, has been prominent as an ar
chitect in the Eastern States for the
the past thirty years and comes here

A STROKE OF GENIUS.

There is no great stroke of genius
apparent in the proposal to class all
lands below 1000 feet elevation together
at Sc per acre, when the actual range OF
value is from nothing to several hum
dred dollars per acre.
The present system of appraiSing
these lands by disinterested persons
with some reference to their compare
tive values seems almost as good.
The proposition that all leasing of
public lands shall cease is an excellent
one-for the purpose of depriving the
Territory of a legitimate revenue ami
of turning over the same to a limiteI
number of far sighted Homestead
erS" CD.
Under the treaty of annexation it was
stipulated that all revenue and proceeds
from the Public lands of Hawaii shall
be used solely for the benefit of the
inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands
for educational and other public pur
poses.
Garry out the proposition of the dele
gate, Mr.. Robert Wilcox, and Hawaii
will get the form but not the substance
of this agreement-the shells but not
the oyster.
LAND LAWS SHOULD NOT BE
CHANGED
The writer having spent the greater
part of his life in service connected
with the public lands Of Hawaii. and
having no interest in the matter today,
other than as ne desires the general
welfare of Hawaii, hopes that the ex-
listing land laws will remain unchang-

The gas became ignited.
Witnesses testified yesterday that
of the 600 men employed in the mine
about 10 per cent were practical min
ers, in whom the mine officials could
place their confidence; miners were
instructed to leave their lamps at
the danger signals, but no one was
positive this rule was strictly obeyed !;
there was gas in pillar work at all
times; fire bosses examined the mine
each morning before the men went to
work; men were not supposed to work
in gas in any condition, but were
given safety lamps as a protection in
case gas came upon them; miners
found in dangerous places with open
lamps were discharged

MISS STONE DON'T EXPECT 1T
No Controversy With Miss Quay Over
Christening of Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg, July 25.-The following
statement has been issued from the
executive department by e. c. Gerwig,
private secretary to Governor Stone:
"The newspaper talk about a con.
troversy between the governors
daughter and Miss Quay over the
christening of the battleship Penn.
sylvania is ridiculous. The ship will
not be launched until long after the
governors term expires. 1t is en-.
tirely proper for the builder to select
any one ne pleases to perform this
ceremony, and as Senator Quay has
been largely instrumental in securing
appropriations for the battleship 1t is
very proper that his daughter be Sc.
lected So far as Miss Stone is con
eerned, she never thought of the Sc
lection, and, together with the gov
ernor and his family. will be very
glad If the honor should come to Miss
Quay, who is in every way worthy OF
It."
