HIio's ELECTRIC ROAD.

xJ1o Is to the front in its demands toi
consideration at the hands Of the Leg
isIature. asking with force and per
suasiveness that a franchise be granted
FOR the construction of a rapid transit
line through the district. Just az
strongly are the DIRECTORS to the broad
and sweeping rights which are desir-
ed by the railroad promoters, making
themselves heard. The bill to provide
for the franchise has been passed in
the Senate 10 second reading and in the
House IL is still in the hands of the
Printing Committee.
In commenting on the measure the
committee OF the Chamber Of Commerce
said that the powers were too broad, In
that while electric power was named
AZ the motive force the bill as well
made it possible for the company to
use any power which had the approval
OF the superintendent of Public Works
This II was feared would mean that
there might well be time when steam
motors would find their way onto the
streets. and If electricity was used the
absence OF restrictions would make it
possible for the wiring to be done in a
manner which would be out Of joint
with modern practice.
The first objection which has been
raised to the bill is that under it the
company might build lines along every
street and highway. over every bridge
owned by the Territory within the dis
trict, no matter what it's width or the
other demands of travel The people
are said to be in favor of a rapid tran
sit line through the district, but they
want some provision in the bill which

feet in width, and which will compel
the securing of private right of way.
as is done by all other common car
riers, with the building of separate
bridges, so that the people will not be
forced of the highway by the cars.
The complaint is made that the streets
and bridges are hardly wide enough to
permit two teams to pass, especially
If one is Oriental-driven, and the addi-
ton of electric cars would make them
well nigh impossible
There is need of such passenger and
freight road as that designed in the bill.
in the Hilo district, and further it is
said. that much of the capital will come
from San Francisco sources, SO the peo-
pie of the district are all the more in
terested IN securing the conditions
which viii ensure the most satisfactory
relations between the corporation when
1T gets down to business. and the resi-
dents of the district.

TOURISTS AND NEW SHIPS.

/ With greater ships there has come the
expected, for not in recent years have
there been so many tourists in the no.
tells and on the streets as there are
now, and a large number Of them have
been drawn into western ocean travel
by the presence in the trade of such
fine ships as the Siberia. the Korea, the
Oceanic liners and the Japanese ships.
1t is therefore natural to believe that
with all the improvements which are
planned. there will be even a larger
number of visitors in the near future.
The new ships purchased by r. P.
Schwerin, for the Pacific Mail line. ex-
ceed in size any thing now in tive trade.
Where the Korea is 572 feet ul length,
the new vessels are 500 feet and the
beam of the Cramp built ships is sixty
five feet as against sixty-three feet in
the twin vessels constructed at New
port. The buying OF the vessels, while
still in the yards. insures their being
fitted especially for the trade and they

feet constructed for the Atlantic Trans
port Company, which was out of bust
ness, almost. in 1898. through the sale
of its ships to the government for
transport service Since that time the
new vessels have been built.
The coming of tourists is matter
which means everything to Hawaii
The presence in Honolulu of visitors
eager to be interested means the i'm
provement of trade in every line. for
there is no one who sells who does not
feel the impetus Of TIE increase in the
population, however transient it may
be. All hail then the new ships, and
may the merchants OF the city, the
business people who have proclaimed
their intention, take up the advertis-
ing of the city in earnest and secure
in time such widespread knowledge of
Hawaii that it will attract visitors both
summer and winter. for nowhere else
is there such an equable climate and
so much of real interest to the globe

The Becky Panee Case.

Becky Panee's fee case was in court
yesterday The lawyers engaged in it
phreys and Watson. There was a more
or less acrimonious discussion between
Fitch and Humphreys. The former

All but there were fine pickings last
year IN the Board of Public Works. 1t
keems pity that the opposition of the
Advertiser should have spoiled the
scheme to charge up $4,000 to the ''re-
pair of the Volcano road" and about
$4,000 to other extravagances. Those

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.

1t is a feeling common to the
majority of us that we do not
get quite the amount of happi-
ness we are entitled to. Among
the countless things which tend
to make us more or less mis-
cradle i'll health takes first place.
Hannah More said that sin was
generally to be attributed to
biliousness. No doubt crippled
liver with the resulting impure
blood, is the cause of more men
tai gloom than any other single
thing. A chronic dyspeptic, says
an eminent English physician, is
always on the verge of a mental
upset. And who can reckon up
the fearful aggregate of pain,
loss and fear arising from the
many ailments and diseases
which are familiar to mankind.
Like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like

sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing ac-
tually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains

Nothing has such a record of
success in Anemia, Nervous De-

Crabbe and Senator Dickey opposed the

PROTECTION FROM PESTS.

1.-THE ofieisi and Commercial Reeord.l
Insect pests imported from abroad are
annually causing loss to Hawaii of hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars. The state
Eaent is made by .Entomologist Perkins
that nearly all OF those now doing serious
injury have been imported within six
years. There are innumerabIe destructive
where, which have not yet come TO Ha-
wall but they are coming all the time.
and will continue to come until we have
an efneient quarantine law efficiently en-
forced. which will stop them. There is
NO such law now. and as result. we have

the ny which destroys all melons and
kindred vegetable growth. the Japanese
beetle, the orange blight the alligator
pear borer and score of other similar
pests which are indiscriminately injuring
our agricultural industries. both large and
small.
The recent meeting between the citizens
and the committees from the two houses
Of the legislature. to consider the bills
introduced upon this subject and the kin
dred one OF forest preservation and extern
sion gives rise to the hope that compre-
hensive and thorough legislation upon this
subject can be expected within the month.
The prompt passage of the acts proposed
should be urged by every influence that
can be brought to bear.

1t is hardly to be wondered at that
the Kaniho forces should kill the BILL
placing the issuance of licenses to prac-
tice law in the hands of the Supreme
Court, when memory serves as to bene-
fits of two years ago. There has been
no evidence of concessions or lobbying
this session, but many may continue to
have hopes.

 It is now believed by many that the depositors will get at least 50 per cent 40 per cent better than at first was thought.

The nature of the business to come up is not fully known. but 1t is believed that the loss by the city of 17000 through the failure of the Bessemer Savings bank and the suspension of work on the city sew craze system, one of the results of this loss, will be given consideration. The proposition to borrow $10,O00 to tide the city through the emergency will also come up. in all probability. The graduating class of the Bessemer high school was entertained tonight by Miss Bessie Spencer.
 Miss Otis Shipman entertained yester- day at progressive anagrams, the affair being In honor of her sister. Mrs. Rog- CTS.
