1t Is not to be denied that this ex-

follows the flag, certainly knowledge
does. What the geography is doing

so true as to-day. A hundred agencies
mainly commerce, invention, travel,

Ing to bring in touch all the nations OF
the world and to demand the fullest
knowledge Of all by each. There are
those who think that this absorbing
interest in the actualities Of material

pense of great creative art. But an
epoch of large wealth has been usually
the precursor of a period of great art.
When this period comes. perhaps the

Among the amusing features of the

chief of staff, as one of the most un'

Among the points defended by tho
army was a signal station on Montauk
Point. Here was stationed a horse

corps and also to be able to withdraw
in case of serious attack. This latter
duty was not fully comprehended by

The case Of Thomas Nash, charged
with selling liquor without license, as
a result of a dispute over the owner
ship Of the Male saloon, a new place
just opened, was ended by a noIis pros
eQui this morning before Judge Hum
phreys. Assistant Attorney General
Douthitt appeared before the court and
stated that the warrant had been Sc
cured as a means of trying to settle
row that should be taken to the civil
courts, and the Attorney Generals De-
partment did not want to prosecute.
The Male Saloon was supposed TO be
the property of G. II. Brown, H. F.
Lewis and j. d. Holt, but the license
was secured in the name of Brown.
There was a disagreement among the
members of the copartnership and
Brown took the license away. The
saloon kept on, however, under the
claim that the license was the property
of the company and Brown secured the

liquor without a license
The Attorney General holds that the
other partners have a right to use the
license, and they have secured a certi-
fled copy from Treasurer Wright Lii
censes are always made out in the
name of some one person, and it is
claimed that Lewis and Holt put up
the money for the license in this case.
The matter will probably be settled in
the civil courts.
The license secured recently by Den

in the same sort of a dispute Smith
got the license over six weeks ago, and
though it is running along at the rate
of $1,000 a year, he has not yet opened
up. The Territory has the cash, and no
saloon had has yet begun to use the
license
The treasurer has refused to allow
any sales of licenses, holding that the
documents are not transferable and If
the holders cannot come to terms, the
money paid is a loss.

RAPID TRANSIT'S
COUP D'ETAT
MANAGER PAIN AWAKES TO FIND
HIS RAILS QUIETLY
DISPLACED.
GANGS TO WORK DAY AND NIGHT
ON KING.
Pains Rails Found To Have Been
Corroded-Kalihi ana Waikiki win
Soon Join.

Thirty minutes after Sunday had
passed coup d'etat, planned in secret
by Manager Ballentyne of the Rapid
| transit Company, was carried into
prompt effect, and in three hours the
girder rails laid over a year ago by
Manager Pain Of the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company to block the laying of
tracks by the Rapid Transit. were torn
up and removed to the side of the road,
| while preparations were commenced for
laying the rails the trolley car along
the entire length of King street as au-
thorized by their franchise and approv-
ed by the Public Works Department.
The disputed ground had the first
rails upon it by the Rapid Transit
Company, the track being torn up ana
replaced by Pains rails. The section
OF track extended from point in Pal
ace Square opposite the entrance to
the capitol grounds to the Hawaiian
Electric Company's building. The Rap
Id Transit then laid a section from the
corner of King and Alakea to the COR
ner of Fort and King. Pain attempted
TO place a switch there and the oppos-
ing gangs of workmen attracted large
crowds, that watched Pain standing in
the middle of the track, defiant, while
the trolley company's Workmen dug all
around him.
Pains next move was to apply for an
injunction against the Rapid Transit
Company for laying their tracks along
King street. This failed The rails
have been complained of as a nuisance
several times, and Superintendent OF
Public Works ]. II. Boyd issued an or
der to Pain to remove them. This he
failed to do, and the Rapid Transit
company by virtue OF their franchise
right and in the' light of this order
proceeded to remove the obstruction
choosing time when the work could
be carried out with the least inconye-
nience to general traffic. BY the time
the milk and ice companies carts and
wagons came down King street this
morning, early passengers on Pains
arks could see the Orders neatly piled
along the mauka curbing while a small
army Of wOrkmen were theoretically
breaking ground and placing fresh
rails in position.
Two hundred and fifty men worked
until 7 o'clock this morning, when a
hundred natives and fifty mixed labor
ers, Portuguese, American and japan
csc started in, and soon had a section
OF the track down and ready for the
steam roller. Manager Ballentyne was
early on the ground. j. b. Castle, Il.
Tenney-Peck, Lorrin Thurston, Joe Gil
man and other prominent business men
interested in the new company stayed
there watching the progress of the
work. Surveyor, construction manager
Rohrer and foremen FASTENED up and
down rushing the work As fast as the
ground was broken the pioneers with
their picks started on another section.
while those behind, brought ties and
rails, bolted the Orders, filled in with
sand and crushed rock and passed on
ahead again.
The men will work in nine hour

ed on the construction. They will
work day and night until the length Of
| King street is covered with the rails
when the service will be Immediately
started.
The start last night was complete
surprise to everyone not in the imme-
date secret The men started from the
power house at twelve fifteen IN lg-
norance of their destination. A man
was detailed from the police depart
ment to look out for possible disturb
ances, but none occurred. Camarinos
remarking that it was very touching
opened up his fruitery and turned on
his lights to aid the workers.
The new track runs almost over the
line of Pains displaced Orders, close to
the makai curbing. Some of the own
! crs Of big stores on King have express
ed fear that they would have trouble
with their delivery wagons which would
not be able to back up with heavy
leads without obstructing the rails.
Some expressed the belief that even
tually the rails would be removed to
the center of the road where the mule
cars still move. Manager Bailentyne
stated this morning that the present
rails were now i'm a double track posi-
might be done would be the laying of
another track, not the removing of the
present one.
Considerable interest was aroused
when the rails which have been re-
moved were discovered to have been
| badly corroded and oXydized. Much
! speculation was dealt in as to the
cause and the question of protecting
the rails that are now going down
Manager Ballentyne thought the salt
water used for sprinkling might be re-
sponsible, but Assistant superintendent
of Public Works Marston Campbell
said that while salt water had been
used, that section of King was only
sprinkled with fresh water from the
well in the Public Works stables since
the rails had been laid
The Orders We're badly rusted. the
edges having crumbled away in some
instances half an inch or more The
soil and the possible salts in it or the
sand We're Sariously thought to have
caused the corrosion. 1t was generally
accepted that the sprinkling must have
had something to do with it, Manager
Ballentyne was much interested and
will look closely into the matter Not
only the lower portion of the Orders
We're affected, the cross ties being badly
cOrrOded as well.
The question of removing the Old
Hawaiian company's rails from where
they now lie by the curblng, is still in
statu quo. The Public Works will I'M
doubtedly order them removed under
penalty of sale, but it is yet to be de-
termined who will receive the COM
mand. 1t is not thought that Pain will
take them away unless he is forced to
and the Rapid Transit officials believe
that they have done all that they are
legally called on to do by removing
them out of their road without obstruc-
ting the sidewalks. Should they cart
them away it is on the cards that they
would be sued for damages by Pain for
Illegally removing his property.
