COMPANY
PURCHASE

The Pacific Commercial Cable Com
pany was the purchaser on Saturday
of valuable section of property front
ing on the harbor near the Oahu rail-
way wharves, on which it will erect
four storage tanks and store houses in
which its cable and supplies will be
stored. The price paid at public auc-
ton held under the direction Of j. F.
Morgan, was $4,000.
The land of one portion is situated
near Oahu Prison, makai of the road
and is adjacent to the new railroad
wharves and fronts upon a proposed
Government road. This contains 15-100
of an acre. The other piece adjoins and
contains about the same acreage. w.
0. Smith, Mary S. Parker and Henry
Waterhouse were the trustees of the
property.
The property is situated advanta-
geously for the purposes of the cable
company which now possesses the right
of way to the Dillingham; wharf for its
cable ship. Whenever the cable ship
desires to take in stores, cable sections
or general supplies, she can be moored
at the inner end of the wharf which
is close 10 the property just acquired
by the cable company
1t is the intention to erect four cable
tanks in which to keep at all times
about 1000 miles of cable for repair
purposes. There viii also be a store
house to contain machinery, ships sup
plies and repairs, and the odds and
ends necessary for almost instant
requisition by the cable ship.
The investments and improvements
of the cable company in Honolulu al
ready amount to a considerable sum
and with the installation of the SER
vice, its conduit to the Young Building
from the landing station at Waikiki,
cable ship and property near the
wharves, the company has shown faith
in its belief in the future of Hawaii.

told that he had been bought, body
and soul, by Baldwin and the sugar
planters. He repudiated this with
warmth. He said he spoke as a Ha-
waiian There was no dilution of his
blood, and he denied that any man
could love his country more. He said
he had gone into the fight for the fu-
ture of the territory, as one who strove
to see the people bettered, and he
thought this would come only through
the success of the Republican ticket.
He appealed to the people to not be-
lieve the lies about him by the Home
Rulers, who, he said, were playing
upon the credulity of their followers,
and expecting that they would believe
every thing that was said to them
When the Prince had concluded
Robert Boyd said that he did not
want to keep the people out in the
rain. He mentioned the list of candi-
dates on the ticket, saying a good word
for each and telling the people why
they should be supported With cheers
for the Prince, the meeting was finally
closed.
kauai STRONG FOR CUPID.
Kauai will go from ITS to 200 for
Prince Kuhio," said G. w. R. King,
who returned Sunday from an extended
stay in Kauai, during which he made
the annual examination of the accounts
of the officials. Il was through the
island twice, and covered practically
every portion except a snf# strip
about ten miles long. Everywhere
there was the same report; the Re-
publicans will win, though everywhere
was considerable doubt expressed as to
the Waimea district, which is claimed
as a Home Rule stronghold. When
reached Waimea, however, there was
the same response, and the Republi-
cans figure out that they will win.
There are but $50 registered votes IN
the district, of whom eighty-one are
white men, with number of them be-
ing Portuguese. They figure out that
all these men will vote for Cupid, and
that they will easily get from ten to
fifteen votes from among the natives.
Prince Kuhio and Rev. S. L. Desha Of
Hawaii made a tremendous impression
on the people of Kauai"

hundred men gathered about to hear
what was said and at the conclusion
of the impromptu meeting there were
many cheers for the candidates of the
party.
Robert n. Boyd was the first speaker
and the chairman of the meeting. He
spoke at length of the cause, of the
work which had been done by the par
ty in the nation at large, and appealed
to the American workmen to witness
the strides which had followed Repub-
lican rule He spoke of the necessity
for following the lead of the majority

the new conditions. To the Hawaiians
lie spoke of the nation and the fact
that progress must come by looking to
the front and not to what has passed.
L. L. McCandless, candidate for the
Senate. spoke of the work of the past
legislature ringing the changes upon
the fact that the last legislature ap-
propriated the peoples money without
regard to the needs of the portions of
the country paying the taxes. He said
that the island of Oahu had paid
greater proportion of the taxes and re-
