THE BISHOP COMING

Father Valentine received a wireless
dispatch at noon today from Father
Oliver of the Catholic Mission at Hilo.
The dispatch stated that Bishop Gui-
stan, who has been so i'll at Hilo, was
in better spirits and would leave to-
morrow for Honolulu. Fathers Oliver
and Matthias will accompany His Lord
ship to Honolulu.
1t is feared that the trip home may
prove too much for the Bishops failing
strength. Father Valentine will wire
tomorrow to Hilo to ascertain whether
the Bishop sailed on the Kinau.

JOE GILMAN FOR
!. COMMISSIONER
BOARD OF UNDERWRITERS ASKS
HIS APPOINTMENT TO SUCCEED
j. H. FISHER.

The appointment of Col ], H., Fisher
as Auditor 7ssnlakes a vacancy on the
Board of Fire Commissioners, a posi-
ton Col Fisher has held for a long
time. The position is an important one
as the Board has the control of the Fire
Department of Honolulu in it's charge.
The Board of Fire Underwriters of
the city which includes or represents
practically the whole business commu-
nifty, has petitioned Governor Dole to
appoint Joseph A. Gilman to the va
,cancy.
: Mr.. Gilman has been an active mem
Der of the Fire Underwriters for long
while. He is thoroughly conversanl
with the needs of the Fire Department
from his experience in the matter of
fires and fire protection growing out of
his business as an underwater. The
Underwriters feel that as a class and
business they have closer interest in
the efficiency of the Fire Department
than any other, and for that reason
ought to be represented on the board
which has the administration of the
Fire Department. Joe Gilman is their
unanimous choice for the position. ].
A. Gilman has been one of the stanch-
est Republican party workers in the
Territory ever since the organization
of the Territory, and his friends feel
that on the score OF party service ms
appointment would be but just recog-
milton of party loyalty and efficiency.
But scores of friends without regard
to party affiliations would be glad to
see Joe Gilman appointed. The COM
missioners besides Col Fisher whose
appointment as Auditor makes a va
Gancy, are Andrew Brown and Charles
Crozier. 'u
waii, sees fit to issue the proclamation.
Public exercises will be held with the
message reading and sending episode
and the fireworks which were left over
from the 4th of July celebrations will
be set off in the evening if obtainable.
The general feeling seems to be un-
favorable to a ball. =" Mutual arrange
ments will be made with San Fran
cisco for sending messages. Aside from
the possible alohas of the President and
Governor Dole it is expected that the
governor of California will also ex-
change compliments with the local exc
cutive. "A banquet may be arranged as
a separate affair.

COFFEE ON OAHU

The first crop of coffee from the Maui
nawili ranch for this season was
brought to Honolulu yesterday after
noon by the steamer ]. A. Cummins.
The prospects for this seasons crop
are excellent and indicate that between
80 and 35 tons will be taken off the
ranch. VIM. G. Irwin is the owner of
the ranch and has been engaged in cof-
fee culture on this island for several
years. Last year 25 tons were taken
off and the present crop will show
quite a material increase. Next year
about 80 tons will be taken off.

MERCHANTS TO.
MAKE BIC
PLANS
Arrival of the Cable ConSid-
cred an Event Worthy of
Public Demonstration and
Celebration,

Plans are afoot today which had their
origin at an important melting of the
Merchants Association held yesterday
afternoon at headquarters, to celebrate
the date that will hereafter be known
as "Cable Day" in public fashion by
proclamation of general holiday
with speechmaking and public exercises
receiving and sending of messages and
fireworks in the evening.
The meeting Of yesterday was held
to hear the committee report on the
answer to be given the Merchants AS
sociation of San francisco which has
taken the lead on the coast in starting
a celebration by way of a banquet and
has written to the Honolulu association
asking for cooperation. 1t was i'm
perative that the answer should go up
to the coast on the Peru.
The committee, consisting of G. w.
Smith and George Rodiek made only an
oral report referring the question of
decision back to the association, feeling
that the matter was one of great i'm
portance and should be fittingly observ-
ed Mr.. Smith added that he thought
the idea of a banquet a selfish one and
believed the public should participate in
whatever celebration was going for
ward. A banquet could be arranged as
a separate affair ifWthe association
pleased
If a simultaneous feast, during which
messages could be received and read,
were carried out, then, providing Homo
lulu sat down at eight o'clock for their
meal San Francisco would have to go
hungry until half past ten or vice versa,
Honolulu would have to begin to eat
at an unreasonable banquet hour.
w w. Hall agreed in thinking the
banquet a selfish arrangement and re-
called the Atlantic cable opening when
common celebration was made through
out the country with public exercise and
speech making. j. G. Spencer suggest
ed that those who wanted a banquet
should make it a subscription affair.
Speeches that followed showed the gem
eral sense of the association in the re-
marks that the opening of the cable
constituted new era which was almost
as important as annexation, the start
of an epoch which might mean more to
the territory than any one could now
calculate. ,
Chairman Macfarlane suggested eXer-
cises in the opera house where a re-
ceiver and sender could be arranged to
tap out the going and coming messages
in sight and hearing of the audience
while suitable speeches were made. This
with a ball in the evening and fireworks
might be the best plan. ,a.
"A motion made by w. H. Hoogs was
finally acted upon appointing a commit
tee with full power to act which will
confer with the Chamber of Commerce,
the Planters Association and the Build
ers' and Traders Exchange sending the
final conclusion of their lalbors in an
answer to the San Francisco association
on the Peru.
The committee consists of G. w.
Smith, j. w. Wakefield and G.. F. Bush.
They will bring in their recommended
tions in writing to secretary WI w.
Harris who win forward them to San
Francisco. 1t is practically certain
that the committee will decide on a
public holiday If Governor Dole, who

CHOL LERA'S RAVAGES
AMONG THE FTLTPINOS
SOMETHING FEARFUL

Among the passengers on the
transport Crook was Major j. N.
Henry, a surgeon who has been
engaged in fighting cholera since
he has been in the philippines.
In speaking of the conditions
prevailing in the islands Major
Henry said:
when the Crook left Manila
it was reported that the total
number of cases throughout the
islands numbered 104, 900 and the
deaths exceeded $4,000. These
figures were compiled from the
records kept by the army Off
cials and do not tell onehalf the
truth. A conservative estimate
of the havoc wrought by cholera
places the death roll at 126,00
and the total cases at 20S,0 900.
Owing to the inaccessibility of
several of the provinces and to
the failure of the Filipino sur
geons to report cases, the army
surgeons have been unable to
get a correct estimate.

later he voluntarily raised his person

thoroughly is in the artistic beauty,
the architectural charm and sense of
fitness which they have impaired to
the stations, the bridges and even the
ordinary overhead viaduct sections of
the new road. Elevated railways in
America are admittedly efficient and
well managed; they run spacious,
well-ventilated, comfortable cars at
| high speed for fares which are very
low in. comparison with carriages and
other means of transportation. But
they are for the most part plain and
commonplace in appearance, and the
stations, even in central and popu-
lous precincts, are often sheds which
are considered blemishes TO the
neighborhood. Here the requirements
of public taste are never permitted to
be neglected or forgotten. Where the
new Berlin line passes through pub
lie square it is on solid and artistic
ally designed masonry. The above
ground stations are of stone, steel
and glass, no two alike, but each spe-
cially designed to fit not only the re-
quirements of traffic at that point
but the adjacent buildings as we'll
the architectural framework in which
it is set. Where, for instance, shall
we look outside of continental Eu-
rope for interurban railway stations
like those at the Schlesisches Thor
and the Nollendorf platz, or a bridge
like the Oberbaumbruclle, ON which
this new Berlin line crosses the
Spree?
The whole management of the en-
terprise from start to finish illus
trates the wise, firm control which
the municipality of Berlin maintains
over corporations which ask for fran
chises at its hands. As one example
among many others of the result of
such control, the western branch Of
the new line from Nollendorf platz to
Charlottenburg passes through Sc
ries of broad, handsome boulevards
in the new and choicest residence
portion of the city. There was album
dant room for viaduct along the
broad central esplanade between the
driveways, and to have built it as
such would have saved millions of
marks But the overhead construc-
ton, however artistically designed,
and the roar and rush of trains would
have defaced such a neighborhood, so
the company was compelled to lower
the grade from Nollendorf platz west
ward, underrun the boulevard and
keep out OF sight and hearing thence
forward until the ultimate terminus
at Charlottenburg. In running this
tunnel past the Memorial church
quicksands were encountered which
could only be mastered by extensive
and costly piling that involved
months of unexpected delay, but the
engineers and workmen persevered.
That whole section of the line is now
finished, the excavated channel
walled, rooted with thick earth rest
ing on steel girders or arches of ma
sonry, and surfaced with graveled
walks to be planted with shade trees
as before the work began.
