No LIGHTS
To SPARE
Why the Petitioners of
Diamond Head Must
Wait a While.

With regard to the petition of Judge
Dole. Samuel Parker. II. Holmes and
Henry E. Highton to the Superintend-
ent Of Public Works, praying for elec-
tric lights in the Diamond Head sec
ton, the following communication was
given out yesterday by Governor Car
ter:
Department of Public Works. Homo
lulu, T. H, December 24th. 1903.
Hon. Geo. r. Carter, Governor, Ter
ritoYy of Hawaii,
Sir: AS the request for the instalia-
ton of three electric lights around the
base of Diamond Head was made to
this Department in the form of petit
ton, signed by several prominent citi-
zens, it seems to me that it would be
advisable TO reply to same through the
newspapers.
Urgent necessity for additional cleo
trio lights beyond the termination of
the Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Companys line on the Waikiki road. as
well as in many other districts of Ho-
nolulu is fully appreciated by this De-
partment, but at the present time the
genera tors located at the Nuuanu val
ley station are operated to their fullest
capacity and some of them are over
loaded at all times, and We are also
renting extra current for arc and in
candescent lights at monthly expense
of approximately $500.
The Nuuanu electric power plant con-
sists of a number of small units which
have been added from time to time as
required, and if these We're replaced by
one larger generator, the efficiency OF
the station would be greatly increaS-
ed, and with further development OF
the water power, which could be done
at slight expense, this station would
have ample capacity to furnish cur
rent for all Government lights at pres
ent in use, as well as about % per cent
additional. and the station could be
operated without any further expense
for labor.
In view of the fact that the County
Act provides for the taking over, Oh
the 4th of January, all of the electric
lighting plants now operated by the
Territorial Government, by the super
visors of the various counties in which
they are located, any addition to the
pIcSSIl SSSlciil AZ I1OholQIG VIII AeifN
to be undertaken by this county.
Specifications were drawn up in the
Public Works Department and plans
made for new generator and water
wheel for the Nuuanu station, but,
owing to the provisions of the County
Act it was deemed inadvisable to pro-
ceed with this installation, but there is
no question that great saving could
be made in the operating expenses of
the electric lighting department, should
the county find it possible to take up
this work, and I should be very glad
to turn over any information and data
in this Office to the Board Of Super
ViSorS.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) c. S. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Much feel
ing was aroused at the japanese Lega-
ton today over the publication in the
newspapers of telegram sent to the
War Department in December, 1900. by
Major-Gen. Macarthur, then command
ing the United States military forces
in the Philippines, in which he told of
captured Filipino correspondence prov
ing to his satisfaction that Taigo Hojo,
chancellor in full charge of the Jap
anese Consulate at Manila, had in d
conference with the insurgent leader
Trias advised that Trias visit Japan
to negotiate for the voluntary contribu-
ton of arms and concerning the future
of the archipelago,
The indignation of the Legation Off
Gals arose mainly from their belief that
the publication of Gen. Macarthur 5
telegram at this time was part OF az
attempt 10 show that Japan, in her
trouble with Russia over Manchuria.
did not deserve the sympathy or sup
port of the United States, for the rea-
son that she assisted or had been will
ing TO assist the Filipino rebellion. Mr..
Takahira, the japanese Minister, did
not hesitate TO express himself on the
subject, and what he said may be bet
ter understood by reading part OF Gen.

PITTsBURG LABOR TROUBLE.
Indications Point 10 an Entire sus-
 pension Of BuildinE Operations.

Pittsburg, July 29. Indications point to an almost entire suspension of build- ing operations in the Pittsburg district within forty-eight hours, the result of a fight between the building trades council, and the. Builders Exchange league.
 About a week ago the Building Trades council ordered a strike of all men af- fliated with them who were employed by the contracting firm of A. & s. Will son, because the firm employed a non- union hoisting engineer, and refused to sign the scale This order effected nearly LOGO men, and effectually tied up the majority of the firms contracts.
 Tonight the Builders Exchange league. of which the Wilson firm is q member. took up the matter and after a sull discussion of the subject, adopt sed a resolution which called for the ap- lpointment of a committee to notify the Building Trades council that unless the employees of A. & $. Wilson, who are on strike, return to work within forty eight hours. the employers of all workmen connected with the Building Trades council will suspend operations until the matter has been satisfactorily settled with the Builders Exchange league.

\ VOTE FOR NEW POPE.
The Cardinals Preparing Forms to De
 Used.

Rome, July 29.-During to-day's meeting of the congregation the forms to be used in voting at the conclave were distributed among the cardinals in order ttat each might be able to learn how to employ his ballot After the meeting Cardinal Oreglia requested the cardinals to visit their cells and be prepared at to-morroW's meeting to present complaint which they might have. Superstitious people here find an omen in the fact that Cardinal Ram spolla drew apartment No. 5S, which in the book of the lottery stands for pope and, consequently, they come to the conclusion that fate has marked him to be the next pope. Cardinal Agliardi has relinquished his cell, near the Sis- tine Chapel, to Cardinal Cretoni, on ac- count of the latter's illness. Over the door of each of the cells has been placed is to occupy it. Should all the sixty two cardinals now in Rome enter the conclave 1t will be the most numerously attended in history. The conclave which elected Leo was attended by sixty-one cardinals. In the past pope's have been elected by as low as nine.
 The ecclesiastics who are to watch the sliding doors which will be the only means oe conlmunicati tion between the conclave and the outside world have been requested to be present at the vatican at 5 o'clock Friday after noon to assume their duties.

With ". J. ciothter+
 Boston, July 2s Champion Larned had an easy time in the championship match at Longwood to-day with w. J. Clothier, winning the match, 2-6, GA 60, 6-2. This gives Larned two legs in the Longwood cup, three being requisite for the permanent possession, Although not devoid of interest. the contest to- day was, from a spectacular point of view, decidedly inferior to yesterday s match between Larned and Ward. 5Clothier played a good deal of an Eng fish style game, with long strokes from the back court Larned quickly sized this up and resorted to the same tactics himself, frequently drawing Clothier to the net against his will and then pass ing him with a shot straight down the lines, or across the court. It was this headwork which most encouraged the spectators, who watched the match with next weeks contests in mind
 C1othier was not nearly fast enough on his feet to be match for Larned, and he was also very wild. He smash- ed well at the net, but did very little placing and had no lob shot at all. His frequent foot-faults lost him a good many points, and the penalties seemed to take good deal of his patience and nerve.
 Only in the first set was Larned off his game, when he put the ball into the net repeatedly and could not seem to locate the corners. Later he pulled to- gether, and although at times making what seemed to be inexeusably careless shots, his game on the whole was satis- flying. This match ended the tourna- lnert, 8

BRITISH FISCAL DISCUSSION

 ANK TAMPERING.
Governor sehu.,er Declare. ,hs United Slate. "si,hin Measurable Distance of Adopting Free Trade"-meKini.y Favored Free Trade-A Private Inter- view wi,a Him Made Publio-cham- ber,ain speaks strongly.

London, July Ex-Governor F. O.. Schuster at meeting of the Union Bank of London Oimited) to-day made a lengthy reference to the British fiscal controversy which met with the ap- proval of a large gathering of city men. While he welcomed an inquiry into the fiscal policy of the government. the whole tenor of MT. Schuster's remarks was opposed to tanpering with free trade. He expressed the belief that the United States was within measurable distance of adopting free trade" and in support of this said he had a private interview with the late President Me- Kinley two years ago in which the lat ter said:
 ;My tariff bill has done it's work. We have been able to build up many great industries in short time. and now gradually, but inevitably. our tariff must be reduced.
 MT. Schuster contended that Ameri- ca's industrial position under protection was mot entirely attractive. nor are it's workingmen contented. ]"
 In the course of the debate on the sugar convention. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain. yesterday in defending it. said:
 For twenty years we have tried to secure the voluntary abandonment of bounties. It was only when we chang ed our policy and suggested retalia- tion that we secured the object for which we had struggled so long and So escaped condition of things under which Germany and Austria would be able to regulate the price of sugar in Great Britain. 7
 Mfr. Chamberlain said he believed the bill would not increase the price of sugar, but, by giving greater stability and certainty to the trade, would bene- fit the West Indies. Referring to the possibility of losing the American mar ket, he said:
 If we had only treated the West In. dies fairly there is no reason why they. should not now be supplying us with the greater part of our demands. The government has choice betWeenrprob hibition and countervailing duties.
 He believed prohibition the simplest. plan. but should it become necessary. would take the opinion of parliament upon the question of countervailing du- ties. MT. Chamberlain did not touch di- rectly upon the fiscal question, but in- cidentally remarked:
 We are on the eve of a great econom- ic fight and it behooves everybody to keep cool as long, as possible and not turn an economic into personal fight. "

SOUTH AFRICAN LABOR.
Lord siiiner Recommends Importation
 of 10000 India Goodies.

London. July 29.-The parliamentary correspondence on the South African labor question was issued to-day. May F, 1903. Lord Milner, high commis- sioner for South Africa, telegraphed Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, urging the employment of ten thousand In dian coolies for work on the railways. the coolies to be forcibly repatriated at the end of their service. Lord Mill ner represented the labor problem to be becoming alarming in South Africa. He reported that tsere were not enough natives there, if all worked, to meet the growing requirements for the devel- opment of the country's resources and that such a dilemma must eventually land the country in financial embar- rassment.
 MT. Chamberlain replied May 23, gen- erally approving of Lord Miners sug- gestion, but stipulating for the assent of the whole white population in South Africa, and explaining that it could only be done with the consent of the Indian government, which insisted on terms practically amounting to the removal of all restrictions on Immigration and the settlement of Indian traders in South Africa.
 According to MT, Chamberlain state- ment in the House of Commons last Monday, when he declared that as long as public sentiment was hostile to the proposition he would not consent to it, but that he believed opinion was chang ing, the question is still unsettled, prob ably owing to the reluctance of the South African people to remove the re- strictions on Indian immigration.

 The two Shamrocks left Sandy Hook at 10 a. m. and took a run out through the ship channel in a rattling twelve knot south wind that put their lee rails under. Shamrock I set the new boat 9 stiff pace as she always does in a good wind and when they came about after running off about six miles there was little change in their relative positions. Bo.k ran back to the Hook and lay there Cor a short time while some changes were made in the challenger. Shortly after noon the yachts again left their anchorage but went only as far as the point of she hook and after sailing about for half an hour returned to their anchorage for the night.

As the Erin was passing Hoffman Island she was met by the New York city police boat Patrol, which ran the Shamrock, Sir Thomas private flag. to her fore and saluted Sir Thomas with thirteen guns, an adniral's salute.
 Sir Thomas said to-day that there was no truth whatever in the report that an exchange of captains of the two Shamrocks to place Captain Bevis of Shamrock I in command of the chal- lenger, was contemplated.

London, July 30.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail reports that General Kuropatkin, the Russian minister of war, who has just returned from the Port Arthur conference, ex- pressed himself as pleased with the re- suits of his tour, and that he communi- cated to the czar the opinion that, al- though a fairly strong party in Japan wanted war with Russia, the bulk of the nation was too sensible to yield to such 'jingoisnl,n and that the Mikado was well disposed towards Russia. The correspondent says that General Kuro- patkin considers that the situation has been cleared for long time, and that war is very improbable.
