BRUNERS REPORT.

The report of w. w. Bruner is as fol-
lows:
To His Execlency C. N. Spencer,
Minister of the Interior-Sir: Having
been commissioned by you to locate q
large storage reservoir in upper Nuu-
anu valley more particularly to exam
| inc the original location of what Is
known as the Schussler basin, to deter
mine whether there was not "A better
location for dam site lower down the
valley, respectfully submit the fol-
| lowing report, together with a plan
showing the five foot contour lines.
The reservoir site is located about
one and half miles from the Pail, in
that immense swale in which are the
head waters of the Nuuanu stream.
The catchment area of this watershed
Is small-some 1888 acres-and the
location OF a reservoir at such height
might well be questioned. Assuming,
however for the purposes OF approx
nation, an annual rainfall of 90 inches,
or n little more than a half OF the
total rainfall in upper Nuuanu during
the past year, and considering so per
cent as lost by evaporation and seep-
age, would leave a possible catchment
Of !, 376, O6O 400 gallons, or a little more
than would fill the immense reservoir
four times annually.
ADVANTAGE OF STORAGE.
The advantages to the City of Ho-
nolulu OF n large storage reservoir in
that locality are manifold; the advan-
tages OF the water system are self
evident, as, when once filed there is
sufficient for the supply of Honolulu
for a period of five months of absolute
drought. Water. stored at that height,
and conducted through "a inch pipe.
could be relied upon to give an equiv
alent of 400 horsepower at the cleo
trio light station. A great advantage
will also result, in the regular impound-
ing OF considerable portion OF the
storm waters OF Nuuanu valley to the
city and Harbor of Honolulu, by the
consequent prevention OF flooding Of
the low lands and the discharging OF
immense quantities OF debris into the
harbor.
The many advantages OF this location
have long been known, and. as early as
1878. a hasty survey was made OF the |
upper part of the basin on site for l
a dam, selected by Mr., Schussler of

IN THE SENATE.

The Torrens land bill as amended was
received from the House. Senator
Dickey moved to concur but Senator
Achi objected as to the five years resi-
dence requirement for the registrar,
saying that Merriam, the only man who
could do the work had been here but
two years He objected also to the
reduction in salary to $3.50 a month.
Dickey replied that many young law
yers could learn to do the work and
that the salary was sufficient for the
start when the work would be little.
McCandless also objected to a confer
ence so near the close. on an important
bill The amendments were concurred
in. The bill now goes to the Governor.
The Judiciary Committee was ap-
pointed for conference with the House
over the bill for pay of Jurors.
The Ways and Means Committee rec
commended the passage OF House Bill
142, amending the gambling law. To
be considered with the bill.
The same committee reported favor
ably the Senate bill repeating the act
relating to STAMP duties which was
adopted, passing the bill on second
reading.
The Miscellaneous Committee report
ed back the beer bill amendments with
few changes. Saloons are prohibited
within 800 feet of churches or schools.

CFrom Saturdays Daily)
Yesterday was the golden wedding
day or the flftieth anniversary OF the
marriage of the Rev e. G.. Beckwth
and Caroline p. Armstrong, who now
reside in Hamakuapoko, Maui, where
DR.. Beckwith is the pastor of the Pres
byterian church. They were surprised
at the kindly remembrance of friends
both on these Islands and on the main
land. Many gifts were sent to them.
Among them was n purse of gold con-
tanning over $500, contributed by
friends in Honolulu, connected with the
Central Union church, over which DR..
BeckWith was pastor for several years.
Friends in San Francisco sent a loving
cup. A scroll, containing wedding
march, and the signatures of several
hundred of the residents of this city,
the design for which was made by Mr..
Gurrey, was also one of the gifts.
DIR. Beckwith was the first scholar
of his class in Williams College, and
arrived here in 1852, and took charge of
the Royal School, in which were pupils
who filled the list of four Hawaiian
kings and two queens, Kamehamehas
", V, Lunalilo, Kalakaua, Queens
Emma and Liliuokalani. Mrs. Pauahi
Bishop was also one of his pupils. In
1857, in company with DIR. Armstrong,
the Minister of Public instruction, he
raised 100000, in the United States, for
the endowment of Oahu College, and
became its first president; succeeding
Mr.. Daniel Dole, who had been the
principal of the Punahou school, Hav-
ing been licensed to preach, he soon

| Fl. NJ Won Holt and others to construct
| and operate a railway on the island of
| Kauai came up on final passage, section
/ by section Paele moving to amend by
cutting down the life of the franchise
from thirty to fifteen years, but Can
dalrs eloquence prevented any such
action and the bill passed with some
slight amendments. One of the changes
was to make sixty days necessary in
condemnation proceedings.
On the exemption of taxes clause
there was long discussion, Kumalae
saying that the Chamber of Commerce
was opposed to exemptions. The mo-
ton of Andrade followed, to make the
period of exemption five years from the
time construction shall commence. Ku-
malae moved to strike out the exemp-
ton sections supporting it in loud
speech.
VIDA CALLS PAUOA STEAL.
Vida objected to the statement of
Kumalae that the House was exempt
ing rich men from taxation, and said:
This House has just as much right
to exempt a corporation which will be
induced to go ahead and make i'm
provements, as has the member to pile
up taxes on the poor people by voting
Sl50,0O0 for the Pauoa water proposition
which is the biggest steal"
Kumalae went red in the face and
springing up declared: II object to be-
ing called a robber."
The Speaker called on Mr.. Vida to
withdraw his remark and the incident
was closed by Mr.. Vida declaring: IT
did not say that Mr.. Kumalae got any
of it."
The previous question was ordered,
Harris trying to find out just how much
taxes would be escaped, and saying
that the Chamber of Commerce was OPP
posed to such exemptions. Chilling
worth asked if men who had tried to
owned stocks in companies which had
been fostered by such exemptions in
the past. The Kumalae amendment
was then lost, fourteen to thirteen, and
the question came on the passage of
the bill.
Kumalae began to filibuster. A mo-
ton to adjourn was lost, a motion to
postpone was debated by
Fernandez who urged against the ex-
emption clause that poor men had to
pay their taxes, and by Kumalae who
rather incoherently argued against ex-
emption, backing out of Vida's ques-
ton whether or not he voted to exempt |
sisal lands,
A motion to adjourn by Kumalae this
time got fifteen votes and the bill was
left in the air for Monday morning |
action.

George p. Learnard, the music deal

this morning from Magdalena, and
other southern towns after a success

While at Magdalena Mr.. Learnard
drove out to the mines in the Cat

~Gishonored after Locke had gone over
the horizon.
Locke had a winning manner which
could unquestionably gain the conf
dence of the shrewdest of men, as did
the im~personator Of Howard j.
Gould, whose sensational victimizing
by the wholesale is still fresh in the
minds of the people.
Locke left Albuquerque on h 9TH
or Sth of March and was seen in Ell
Paso by several Albuquerque gentle
men during the mid-winter carnival at
the Pass City. He was seen by n of
his victims in Albuquerque, but it was
before the drafts had been returned
d~ishonored. Whether or not he was
successful in his unique n is not
known. At least there has been no
reports of any business man in that
city misplacing his confidence.
While in Albuquerque Locke met
many gentlemen, all of whom were
told the same story about the Morgan
connections. He spread his wings in
a lofty flight taking prominent gentle
men to dinner and entertaining them
in a royal name During his visit
here he met a gentleman, Mr.. Cunning
ham, of New York, who is spending
the winter at the Alvarado. MI. Cum
ningham had known of Locke for the
past twenty-five years, but had never
been intimately acquainted. To the
inquiries of the reporter last night, he
said:
II have known of Locke for about
twenty-five years. His home Is In
Albany, N. Y, but for the past ten
years he has been in New York city
Locke was private secretary for David
b. Hill while he was governor of New
York, and held many positions of trust
He is from a fine family, and studied
law, being admitted to the bar in New
York. He told me, when he was here
that he was auditor for Morgan, but
not being interested l never inquired
further into the matter. Locke was

RUSSIAN DEMANDS.
That Country Makes Demand on China
for Control of Manchuria.

Washington, April 24.-Minister
Conger, from Pekin, has cabled to
Secretary Hay a synopsis of the de-
mands made upon China by Russia
respecting control of Manchuria. Hay
will take no action in the matter I'M
til he has communicated the facts to
the president and has learned the lat
ter's wishes. The political impression
here is that the Russian action is a
distinct breach of faith with the Unit
ed States, but officials declare there
| sno danger IL wal with Russia owe
this incident. AS the result of Secre-
tary Hays projected conference with
the pesident is is probable that re-
monstrance will be made.
But II is anticipated that Russia will,
for the time being at least, allay for
eign oppositio or at least that of the
United States by carrying out its
pledge as to the ''open door" An Of
fetal of the government, well inform
ed regarding Chinese affairs, says the
step taken by Russia is one for which
she has been preparing for a number
OF years. Extraordinary as it may
seem, he says there appears to be no
way of preventing the consummation
of Russia's plan. Japan Is in no way
to dispute the action and even with
the assistance Of England, 1t is doubt
full. in his opinion, whether the pur-
pose of Russia could be changed.
