Kings Illness Denied.

/ may add that the prime minister has
issued peremptory and sharply worded
denial of the stories recently circulated
by the revolutionary and Carlist press
in Spain TO the effect that the young
King is afflicted with tuberculosis of the
lungs In an advanced degree. and is
about to undergo a prolonged term of
treatment In sanitarium for consump
tives. The premier threatens drastic
punishment for all newspapers circulat
ing lies of this character, and in the
case OF their being circulated in for
eign newspapers the representatives Of
the latter at Madrid will be expelled by
the police from Spain.

III readiness to begin work on the first
day of the fiscal year, July l.
This Is the practice in all the Gov
ernment departments; and, generally
speaking, proposals for Government
work, authorized at the short session
of Congress, including specifications,
are printed and advertised by the first
week of April.
In the present case, although the
Citizens Association of Takoma re-
reatedly urged action upon the Dis
trict Commissioners, proposals were
not advertised until August 6. They
were opened August Is. On August
20, Inspector Ashford recommended
that there should be a delay in the
opening of the school until October
10, with the statement that, if this
were not agreed to, it would be neces-
sary to close the school IN March or
April next, in order to insure COM
rletion by the beginning of the next
fall term.
This request was referred to the
Board Of Education, reaching the
board on August "a. The next day it
was returned with the following IN
dorsement:
In view OF the situation set forth in the first
Endorsement, showing that there must be, in
any event, serious interference with the
school session either at the opening of the
term or during the closing session, and that
this interference viii be less if suffered in Sep
TENDER and part OF October than il inaugurated
in March or April next, those members of the
Board of Education whom it has been pos
sible to consult in favor of recommending
that the opening of the Takoma School be
postponed until October Is, with the distinct
understanding that it be not delayed beyond
that date. II. V. BoYNToN.
President of the Board
This case, as laid before the Board
o. Education, presented the necessity
of choosing between two evils, for
neither of which there was any ex-
cuse.
Now the Building Inspector sug-
gests the probability of further delay,
beyond the time named by the con-
tractors themselves. AS a result of
this management, the LIST of Septem-
Der finds the Inspector still arranging
for beginning work which should have
been IN progress the first week in
July, and sufficiently advanced at the
opening of the school year to allow of
the uninterrupted occupancy of the
older portion of the building.

Lakewood is in the Second Congress
district, composed OF Ocean, Mercer,

Third district, as some newspapers have
remarked. The products of the district
are mostly burrs and mosquitoes, and
the industries are summer resort hotels

THE ROYAL HAWAIIAN HOTEL
ADOPTS THE EUROPEAN PLAN
THE CHANGE GOES INTO EFFECT OCT. lST
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW.

For some days past it has been
generally understood that the manage
ment of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel
were about to adopt what is known in
hotel parlance as "the European plan,"
in lieu of the American plan, but as
to yesterday, representative of this
paper waited upon Col. George Mac
farlane, one of the directors Of the
Company, to ascertain just what had
been decided on concerning this we'll
known hostelry.
Yes said Mr.. Macfarlane, in an
swer to our inquiry, 1--WE have been
engaged in perfecting the details of
such a move. I have long felt that
it was only a question of time when
the Hawaiian Hotel, with it's old as
sociations, and it's traditions so inter-
| woven with the earlier history of Ho
nolulu, must be brought into line with
modern progress in this, as it has been
| in other respects; and my co-directors

recent meeting of the Board it was
| unanimously decided to adopt the
European plan, October 1st being the
date fixed, to inaugurate the change.
| The more 1 have Travelled in recent
years, the more irresistibly has the
conclusion been forced upon me that
this is the plan which the better class
es of hotel patrons demand, and which
| therefore is coming into operation gen.
orally. London has the European
plan exclusively in it's best hotels, but
they serve a table-d'hote dinner at
! regular hour in addition to the a la
carte bill of fare; and in some of these
hotels anyone who is not at the table
-d'hote tables, when the first course is
being served, is obliged to go to the
restaurant section of the dining hall.
and order their dinner a la carte.
| This is to prevent interruption and
delay in serving the courses of the
table hote dinner, and thus avoid
| over-cooked or half-cold victuals be-
ing served. Paris follows the same
system, as well as the other principal
cities of continental Europe. 1t is
practiced in New York and elsewhere
in the Eastern States: it is common
in the Orient, and has recently been
adopted in California. San Francisco
for long time adhered to the Ameri-
can plan. the distinguishing feature of
which is a daily or weekly rate cover
ing room and board-a plan which is
NOR, generally adopted in the Western
States only. With the cheap foodstuffs
and excellent markets of San Fran
cisco. unrivalIed perhaps anywhere in
the United States, it was not surpris-
ing that that city should cling to the
old custom, with its simple and uni
form rates of payment. But, as
have said. San Francisco is now fall
! ing into line. and the practice
! is being abandoned IN favor of the
European plan, which provides a rate
for rooms only, while grill

have left the Republican party and
Joined that OF the Home Rulers. Jo-
nah Kumalae, Representative from
the Fourth District, Chas. Wilcox, who
always posed as a stauneh Republi-
can (for revenue only, D. H. Kahau-
lelio OF Maui, who shared in the per-
quisites distributed by Republican
members of the Legislature and c. W.
Booth of Pauoa water fame have all
joined the Home Rule party and ex-
pect nomination for various offices
from that body.
Jimmie" Boyd lays his detection
from the Republican party to news
paper attacks and lack of apprecia-
ton by the Republican party.
Kumalae says he has quit the party
because the House failed to elect him
speaker. Both Home Rulers expect
to run for supervisor. They did not
discover the faults of the Republican
party until their efforts to secure
nominations for supervisor were nipped
in the bud, and so both have gone
over to the party which is not quite SO
particular as to the qualifications and
party standing of it's nominees. Will
cox is to run for auditor, and Booth
also wants a nomination as supervisor.
Among some Home Rulers it is said
there will be opposition to giving Boyd
the nomination. They claim that he
owed his position as Superintendent of
Public Works to the Home Rule leg
islature and that he then turned right
around and distributed some of the
best jobs among Republicans. The
pledge which Boyd signed to support
the nominees of the Republican party
is missing from the records of the
clerk. Boyd is said to have made
the statement that he signed the
pledge but tore the paper to pieces
when deprived of the nomination.
Republicans generally are pleased
over the declared alignment Of Boyd
and Kumalae with the Home Rulers.
1t has always been felt more or less
that both men were working secretly
in the camp of the enemy, and the Re-
publicans are pleased now that they
are sure of it.
