Word comes from Washington OF
a private nature through credible
and reliable source that there is no
hope of getting an appropriation
towards the payment OF our FIRE
claims at the present session OF
Congress now nearing its close for
the summer. Although Commits
sioner Pratt is making strenuous,
hard aud strong fight for the inser-
tion OF an item in the sundri.s ap-
preparation bill, it is 'aid that thu
fight is utterly useless. Even il
Mr.. Pratt cannot get the whole,
enough to pay the first installment
10 accordance with the provisions Of
our Fire Claims Act would be suffi
cient at this time, providing be can
have it so inserted, leaving the bal
auce TO some future time, had he
exerted his efforts in this way, for a
half loaf is better than none at all
More's the pity that we cannot get
even one third OF the desired
amount sufficient for the first pay
ment.

MISSIONARY TROUBLES.

The custom of star chamber
meetings is decidedly becoming
contagious in this city. After the
Board of Health we have the local
Ministerial Union who cannot stand
the glare of publicity and estab-
fishes a kind Of censorship to
which reporters, who represent the
public must submit.

nounced for several days by all
the Honolulu newspapers, THE IN

knew that the Rev. A. V. Soares
was to explain to his confTeres
how he had succeeded in convert

interesting one for the public. We

FAVOR WIDENING OF
WISCONSIN AVENUE
Commissioners Believe 1t to
Be Main Artery of Travel.
Favor the Measure But Fear the Dis
Work to BE Carried Through.

The District Commissioners yesterday
submitted to the Senate Committee their
report on Senate Bill No. 205s. For the
widening Of Wisconsin Avenue from its
intersection with High and Twenty
seventh Streets to the District line."
The Commissioners state that it is the
purpose of the bill to widen Wisconsin
Avenue to a width of 12O feet within the
limits named. The avenue is commonly
called the Tenleytown Road. The Com
missioners state. that 1t is the main
artery Of travel. a route for street
railway, and that it passes through an
attractive country of high elevation.
To Condemn Property.
According to the report the bill pro-
vides that upon the dedication to the Dis
trict Of Is per centum of the land neces-
sary to make the road 120 feet wide, pro-
ceedings shall be instituted to acquire
the remainder by purchase or condemna-
tion.
The Commissioners express the opin-
ion that rs per centum Of the land will
come to the District free OF cost by rea-
son OF donations from time to time. as
new subdivisions are recorded. AS to
the acquisition Of the remaining rs per
cent, this being made up of subdivided
property. some of which is built upon, 1t
would seem equitable. the Commissioners
think. that 1t be acquired as provided for
in the bill, the estimated cost Of which is
SIS, 600 II no donations are made, the es
timated cost, according to the report. is
f175, 600.
Afraid of the Expense.
The Commissioners state that they are
in favor of the widening Of this avenue
as provided in the BILL and would like to
see the improvement accomplished. They
express regret, however. that on account
of the present state of the District
finances they cannot see their way clear
to recommend the expenditure.

Dedicated Yesterday in the Presence
of Many Prominent Guests-Rev.
DR.. ID. j. stafford Thanks Donor

Some months ago when Mr.. William
Nelson Cromwell was taken by Mrs.
James F. Barbour to visit the st. Joseph S
Orphan Asylum, he felt the great need
Of country place for the homeless chill
dren. Immediately he decided that he
would give one. This. however, seemed
impracticable, and the next best thing
he could do was to offer the institution a
gymnasium.
This offer was accepted, and hand
some buff brick building has been erected
on a lot adjoining the orphanage building
at an expense of over $4,000.
Many Prominent Guests.
Yesterday afternoon the building was
dedicated There were many prominent
guests present. Among these were Mr..
Cromwell. the donor of the gymnasium.

marks Mr.. Cromwell made quite a lengthy

the gymnasium to the church, but that he
gave 1t to the parentless boys, who are
denied SO many privileges that other chill
dren are accorded.
Mr.. Cromwell is not a Catholic, but
made the presentation because he saw
the good one would accomplish in the
physical development of the one hundred
boys under the care Of the sisters.
