COMMISSIONERS MET
Evidence Heard in Regard,to Gregory
Fire Yesterday Afternoon.
Nothing Definite Done at the Hearing
Another Meeting Later.

The joint fire committee of the gen.
eral council met yesterday afternoon
at the city hall at $3.50 O'Clock to
hear . statement from Mr.. o. L. Greg
DRY relative to the fire which Sunday
morning burned his house ON Ninth
street near Madison.
MI. Gregory thought there was not
enough pressure and not enough men
to handle the streams. Chief Wood of
the fire department admitted that
there were only three men at first,
owing to the fact that the others were
at breakfast. but this could not be
helped and is something that no one
is to blame for under the present
methods of operating the tire depart
ment. He stated the water pressure
was sufficient, however, and was cor.
roborsted by Superintendent burnett
Of the water company. who said that
the registers ct the power house show
ed the amount Of pressure, and that it
was sufficient
According to MIR. Gregory's own
statement, however, before the de-
partment arrived the flames had
gained such Roadway that he himself
could not get inside and the fremen
when they came could not get either
into the cellar or into the house to
fight the flames, and had to wait I'M
til the fire burned through the roof
and let the water drip through from
the top.
II is understood that the committee
will later, perhaps in . day or two,
hold another meeting and have the
statements taken down IN shorthand,
and Mr.. Gregory will reach no deci-
sion relative to filing suit for damages
until the committee makes its report.
One loss that Mr.. Gregory sustained
was about $1,000 in cut gloss, which
represented about nineteen years COL
lecting. and which was not counted In
the estimate made yesterday OF the
loss on the house.

1t is seen from the official report
elsewhere Of the citizens meeting held
in Merchandising last night how the
people there regard the action Of the
council last week in refusing the right
of way over Meyers street for spur

that the meeting was to be held, and
IL there were any who do not concur
in the action taken last night they

II lie evident fromlPresident Roose.
velt's recent remarks that thisVsovern-
ment will soon be the strongest mill
tary and naval power In the world.
President Roosevelt is man Of ac-
tion. He is vigorous and unhesitating,
and strikes straight from the shoulder.
He sees the need for an increased
navy. He does not want war, but to
guard against it by being always pre-
pared for 1t. Recently in his speech
at the dedication of the war college he
significantly said;
1T has we'll been said that the sur.
est way to invite national disaster IL
for q nation to be opulent, progressive
and disarmed. A nation that refrains
from the preparedness that is neces'
sary is laying the foundation Of ma.
tional disaster.
"This nation has by the mere trend
Of events been forced into position
OF world power during the past few
years. Its voice is potent for peace
and Justice. Only on condition that
we be well prepared can we ask for
peace, not in the spirit of q weakling

Rev. Thomas Dixon, author of "Th'
Leopsrd's Spots" predicts dire thing
for the negro. He is quoted in an in
terview at Cleveland, o., as having
said: "There will be a race war, rep
resenting the most terrible conflict
this world has ever seen. Nothing
that can be done by human hands can
prevent this. 1t will come just as
certain as the sun continues to rise
and set. On one side will be the
Anglo. Saxon race and on the other the
negro people. With 5000 years Of
civilization in their favor there can be
but one result. The Anglo-Saxon
people will sweep the negro people of
the face of the continent. Perhaps
Mr.. Dixon is right, who knowsr But
IL his predictions should come true it
would be sad commentary indeed on
our 80, 900 years of civilization" and
our boosted Christian influences.

THE PLOT THICKENs.

The gubernatorisl campaign Of the
Democrats in Kentucky seems further
complicated. The announcement of
Breckenridge for the nomination
means to the m inds of many astute
politicians who have been heard to
express themselves that there will
now be division of what vote Hen
drick would otherwise hsve secured.
In addition to this, the Louisville
Post announces that the Louisville
politicians have everything arranged
to carry the city for Beckhsm and the
machine. There is apparently nothing
in the way of disaffection among the
machine" crowd, and Beckham's
chances seem better than ever. Mr..
Hendricks opposition is just develop
ing, and with Breckenridge in the field
fighting the machine, Hendrick
will be still more perceptibly weaken
ed. Yesterdays Post said: 81
"Tnere has been arranged an slh-
ance offensive and defensive between
the Beckham forces and tho Louisville
bosses.
"The result expected is the with
drawsl of all candidates opposed by
these allies, thus making unnecessary
the state primary called for May Q and
the local primary called for April Z.
"For twelve months the con-
test within the Democratic party has
been between Beckham and the field,
and the managers have all been alive
to the Importance of the vote Of Louis
Vile. 80
"The three men who now assume
to speak for Louisville are Mayor
Granger, Mr.. Kohn and W. B. Halde-
man.
"This Louisville triumvirate were
neutral after the withdrawal o.
watterson. Then it was said that Hen
drick and the Western Kentucky con-
tingent, under the lead Of Auditor
Coulter, ana Clerk of the Court Of APP
peals Shackelford, had arranged to
combine the Louisville vote with the
Western Kentucky vote and down
Beckham. Ii was SO easy that the
wonder Is 1t was not done. Hendrick
supposed it had been done, and he felt
certain that the opposition to Beck
ham would be able to organize the
state convention.
"That is why no convention was
held; that was why the state execu
tive committee called primary.
"a loud cutlery went up against
the primary-snd then it subsidized all

brooded over the political situation in
Louisville. Confident that no comb
nation could Re made against theii
leader, they undertook to so arrange
matters as to make even primary
useless. To do this it was necessary &c
make an alliance with the Louisville
Triumvirate. ...
"The friends Of Mr.. Hend rick had
been assured Louisville support, and
this assurance had induced them tc
bring out Mr.. Hendrick. The defec'
tion of the Louisville politicians stag
gered Mr.. Hendrick and in private
conversation he expressed his opinion
OF Louisville politicians and Louis
VILE politics.

AFTERNOON SESSION.


At the afternoon session the reports
of standing committees continued to be
submitted There were reports from the
public expenditures committee on vari-
Gus appropriations for road building on
the several Islands, the resolutions
asking for which have already been
printed. and these went to the table to
be considered with the appropriately
bin. Perhaps the most important was
an item Of $4,000 for the Volcano ROAD.
At the conclusion of the reading Of
the reports, Kupihea introduced a res
olution calling for special committee
of three to investigate certain leases
of water right on Maui made by Gov
ernor Dole to H. P. Baldwin. Adopted.
Lewis introduced a bill to create
public park at Kona, Hawaii Passed
first reading by title. The same gentle
man introduced a bill to create public
park at Hilo, which took the same
course.
Vida introduced a bill to authorize
foreclosure and sale to enforce liens
of shipping companies and other COM
mon carriers. Passed first reading by
title.

WRIGHT IS WRONG.

Wright introduced a resolution ask
ing the Superintendent of Public Works
for information as to the number of
Asiatics and the number of Americans
employed as Iaborers in road building
on Hawaii. Adopted.
A resolution from Wright asked
Congress to give a bounty to coffee
growers on the Islands, and that a COM
mission be sent to Washington TO urge
such action upon the national body.
such commission to be appointed by
and work under the direction of the
Delegate-elect to Congress. The mover
asked further that the committee on
agriculture be instructed to draw up
concurrent resolution embodying this
idea The Speaker said that member
could not compel a standing committee
of the House to introduce a resolution.
He was at liberty to do it himself, if
he wanted to. Anyway, the House had
already passed a resolution asking an
appropriation of $4,000 for a coffee
bounty. There was some little dis
cussion, the end of it all being that
Wright's resolution was declared to be
out OF order.

A LITTLE sPAr.

Andrade gave notice Of the introduce
ton of bin to provide for the support
of dependent heirs out of the estates of
deceased persons. which measure pass
ed first reading by title. and Kaniho
wanted to double up on the bin already
introduced multiplying marriages be-
tween leprous and non-ieprous persons.
Then the House was about to proceed
with the regular order, when Kumalae
arose to question OF personal privilege
on the grievance that the Committee
on Public Health had not made any re-
port on House Bill 80 forbidding the
Board of Health to take into its own
hands the destruction of infected prop
erty. which he said had been In the
hands of the committee for thirty days
Chillingworth said that If Kumalae
would attend to his duty as a member
of the health committee this bill, as
well as many others, would have been
reported long ago. The Speaker order
ed the committee to meet and consider
this bill. and Kumalae proceeded to
state several other grievances of like
nature against the other standing COM
| rAittees. There was a. lot of squabbling
and some recrimination, and then the
House proceeded to the order Of the
day, which was the routine advance
ment of a number of bills on second
reading.
sDIMoND GAS BILL PASSED.
This being concluded. the Dimond gas
franchise bill was taken up and passed
second reading. 1t now goes to the
Governor. Long cast the only vote
against the NEE sure.
House Bill 70, which is a bill to facil-
itate the collection of debts due from
government beneficiaries, came next,
and as this apparently had the most
active kind of opposition, it was agreed
to take a recess at o'clock until 1880,
at which time the House would go into
committee of the whole on the meas
ure. Then, after one or two of the
law association bills had been read, it
was discovered that a number of COM
mittees wanted to meet in the evening,
and so the recess proposition was re-
considered, and the House adjourned
until this morning.

NEW BILLS.

| SENATE.
| NEW BILLS.
Senator Crabbe moved the insertion
in the Appropriation bin of an item
of $4,000 for repairs to Kinau street.
To be considered with the BILL
Senator Crabbe introduced bill pro-
viding for the appointment by the
Treasurer of deputy registrar of pub
lie accounts. Passed first reading.
Senator Baldwin introduced a bill to
authorize foreclosure and sale and fore
ed lien of shipping companies and other
common carriers. Passed first reading.
WINSTON FRANCHISE KILLED.
The winston franchise bill was killed
on third reading. Senator McCandless
| waived his privilege in favor of Senator
Kalauokalani, who previously had
| caused the bill to go back to commit
tee because of the objections of Dnling-
ham. He spoke now in favor of the
Queen street route but still said this
should not be done If it interfered with
the rights of the Oahu Railway. He
said however that he intended to vote
for the bill and all Senators should do
the same.
Senator C. Brown said the Senate
was anxious to grant the privilege and
the only question was as to the route.
He did not believe in the Queen street
route because the extension of that
road would make a second Kewalo.
Then again the Queen street extension
would not be made in time to allow
the building of the road within two
years as required by the franchise. The
land also was private property and
would have to first be condemned.
Senator Achi replied that the argu-
ment of Senator Brown didn't amount
to a row of pins; that the government
did not own the land for the Vineyard
street extension either. On Queen street
the Bishop Eestate and Achi were will
ing to give the right of way for moth
ing. There was no reason to delay be-
cause the government didn't own
streets: the Oahu Railway had to con-
denim it's right of way too. Senator
Brown. he said, talked like baby. He
favored giving a franchise to any one
having money. If this franchise was
given, in FIVE years. small farmers out |
Kalihi way would be raising cabbages |
and onions and everything needed for
the whole country.
Raising them now and can't sell |
them interrupted Isenberg.
Senator Baldwin said he wasn't an |
advocate Of the Oahu Railway and had
opposed the company in asking for
wharf rights But the legislature had
granted yards and terminals and it
wasn't right TO permit another COM
pany to go through these depot
grounds What kind Of a state of
things would we have if we granted
one company a privilege that had al
ready been given to some one else. It's
wrong I say" said Baldwin. Il don't
see why they press so strongly this
going into the Oahu Railways yards a"
