ARE
OUR MAILS AT2
FOUR STEAMSHIPS DEPARTING
WITHIN FEW HOURS OF EACH
OTHER COMPLICATE MATTERS

The worst possible tumble in the mat
ter of getting mail 10 the Coast exists
al the present time. Persons having
imuortant communications which must
reach the coast by the first vessel are in
"a quandary as to what boat to send
them on. Seldom before have such
multiplicity of choices been possible.
This confusion Is due to two causes,
first the failure of the S. S. Nevadan to
sail today on time and the possibility
of the S. S. Coptic sailing a day ahead
of time, both for San Francisco.
The S. S. Zealandia will sail at noon
tomorrow for San Francisco, the S. S.
MOana which is due tomorrow morn
ing from the colonies will sail for Vic
toria tomorrow about 3 p. m. while the
S. S. Nevadan which is due tomorrow
morning from Kahului will sail about
s p. m. tomorrow for San Francisco.
The Zealandia will probably not reach
San Francisco before Christmas day as
she will take about s days in which to
make the trip. The Nevadan will take
seven and half days so she will reach
the coast about the same time with the
Zealandia. The Moana will go up IN
about seven days so she ought to get
into Victoria a day ahead of the other
boats. 1t Is not impossible however
that the Moana may be late in arriving
from the south.
Many people are banking on the S. S.
Coptic beating the entire bunch to the
Coast. The only thing that will pre-
vent her doing so will be stress of wea-
ther between Yokohama and here. 1t is
very possible that she will arrive here
tomorrow evening from the Orient. In
such an event she will be given a spe-
cial rush dispatch and sail within a few
hours for San Francisco. She will go
up in about days and IL hours, so in
such an event, she is certain to arrive
at the Coast before any of the other
| boats that have preceded her.

tis' determination to reject the present
site. George r. Carter, who has all
along been more in favor of unanimity
than of any particular site, retires from
the esplanade idea. G. M. Cooke, for
merly in favor of the Irwin property,
joins in the general vote. w. M. Gif-
fard has stated that it is very doubtful
in his opinion whether w. G.. irwin
would be willing to sell the property
near the Opera House. w. w. Hall, a
former advocate of the Gore site, states
his reasons for change of mind and
Peacock and Company. John Emme-
lu.h and w. Wolters withdraw inten-
tions of offering their property.
Sam Allen and w. L. Hopper and
Henry Waterhouse and Company re-
commend the Bishop estate site, with
drawing their own, thus leaving the
Bishop estate and the present site of
the post office practically the only two
under consideration, although the drill
shed site is also said to have been look
ed upon with favorable eye by Com
missioner Eustis. The cable company
and the Young building corporation ia
vor the Bishop site.
The reason for the hanging back of
the supporters of the present posboffice
site from signing the petition is that
two diverging statements are in ques-
ton which can only be solved by the re-
turn of Mr.. Eustis. This cannot be un-
til Friday and not, as generally stated,
today. The Mauna Loa left on Friday
last and will not return until Friday
next. The two statements are as fol-

UNCLE SAM WILL
NOT BUY LAND
NOT FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS
WHEN HE HAS PLENTY OF HIS
OWN THAT WILL DO.

In the discussion that has been going
on in regard to site for federal
building, a number of elements, with
out which no site can expect to be ac-
cepted are becoming cleaFersthan they
were. One of the most important of
these is the statement made by Com
missioner w. H. Eustis that the Ma
tional Government will not accept any
site for which it has to pay money, no
matter how little, so long as there is
government property not unsuitably
located which meets the other require
ments.
This statements has been reiterated
by Commissioner Eustis a number of
times, because it is important and be-
cause it seems to be ignored by great
many in their discussion.
so long as the United States Gov
ernment owns land suitable for a fed
eral building site and in locality suit
able for it; or can secure land now be-
longing to the Territorial Government
by the simple operation of an executive
proclamation, it will not spend PEN
ny for a building site," Commissioner
Eustis is quoted as saying. He is also
quoted as saying that officials of the
United States Government, nor con-
gress will not consider 1t necessary
that federal building shall be right in
the very center of the town. That a
block or two, or even three or four
blocks one way or the other Will not
be considered as making a site ineligi-
BILE. On this basis the drill shed site
is looked on very favorably by Com
missioner Eustis, 1t is said. The gov
ernment owns the land. 1t is central
ly located with relation to transportd-
ton facilities. 1t is not far from the
local government buildings, which by
some will be considered an architect
ural advantage. However, United
States Attorney Breckons is quoted as
saying that he doubts If this site car
be used as when it was taken over by
executive proclamation, it was taker
over for military purposes.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-12-16

The property of the Bishop Estate,
opposite the Young building is now
practically the only site before the
committee on federal sites and build
ings. All the owners and representa-
tives of other tentative sites have with
drawn their proposals, Commissioner
Eustis having stated that the present
post Office site will not be recommended
by him. The difficulty brought for
ward that the government will not
favor a site which has to be purchased
is offset by the proposal of the Bishop
Estate to accept government land in
exchange for their own without any ac-
tual payment of cash.
A petition, representing a general de-
sire for uniformity of action was cir
culated yesterday r. w. Shingle of
and Company having taken
the matter in hand. The abstract re-
presenting one of the original grants,
with mortgages and releases and a
statement of the two present short time
leases of a small portion of the land at
tached will be presented to chairman
Lorrin Thurston of the governors COM
mittee this evening or early tomorrow
morning. United States District At
torney Breckons has given an opinion
affirming the validity of the title.
Colonel Soper, w. E. Nichols and F.
A. Schaefer who were the principal agi-
tators in favor of the post office site
have been approached and are ready to
sign the petition as soon as they are
directly assured of Commissioner Eus-

SITE BOOMERS COME TOGETHER

2. Ample room Is afforded for a fine
large building, after making all neces-
sary allowances for open spaces ON
every side, thus giving opportunity for
architectural display.
8. The close proximity to the leading
hotels, business blocks, cable cOmpany's
office and at the same time relative
nearness to the present courts, court
library etc.
4. The title Is perfect; being an origi-
nal award to the father of Mrs. Bernice
Pauahi Bishop, whose estate now holds
the property free from all incumbrance5
excepting two short-term leases cover
ing a small part of the property.
5. The property in question has been
definitely offered to the committee at a
Eoderate price. which is less than the
property Immediately opposite and now
occupied by the Alexander Young
Building was sold for.
1t has been definitely stated by the
Hon. w. H. Eustis, Special Commits
sioner of the Treasury Department,
that a concensus of opinion on the part
of our citizens would be the best assur-
ance of a Congressional appropriation
during the present session of Congress.
AS there are now numerous sites offer
ed and so many diverging opinions con-
cerning the merits of each and every
one would 1t not be best to compromiseH q
Desiring to put aside our own PERSONAL
interests for the city's good we there-
fore urge the selection of the Bishop
estate lot as the best possible solution
of the matter.

lows: L. A. Thurston, chairman of the
committee, understands that the COM
missioner refused to recommend the
present site while ]. d. McInerny is
positive in the belief that the commits
sioner the day before he left, in the
presence of Cecil Brown stated that he
thought well of the present site and
advocated the sending out of a petit
ton to that effect.
The petition is addressed to L. A.
Thurston, chairman, of the committee
on Federal Building site. 1t declares
the purpose of the signers to be to aid
the committe in the work of selecting a
suitable site. 1t recommends the
Bishop property and gives the follow
ing reasons for it.
1. The central location of the lot; ;
being surrounded by two of the widest
streets in the city, each so feet, in width
being situated between the four lines
of street cars, reaching every part of
the city by the most direct routes.
(a) Two lines on King street to Wal
kiki and Kalihi.
CD Hotel street line to Punahou and
Manoa.
(c) Fort street lines to Punahou and
Nuuanu valley and Pacific Heights.
I'D Alakea street line from new Har-
Dor front to the Punchbowl section and
up Nuuanu valley.
BY reference to the map of the City, it
will be seen that the location is more
central to the business section as a
whole, than the present site of the Post
Office.
