BUILDERS WANT
CHANGE MADE
WOULD LIKE SEPARATE CON-
TRACTS FOR PLUMBING IN CON
NECTTON WITH PUBLIC WORK.

letter from the superintendent Of
Public Works on the question of the
segregation of plumbing work in pub
lie contracts and the discussion thereon
formed the principal feature of last
evenings meeting of the Builders and
Traders Exchange. The letter ran
thus:
Department of Public Works.
Honolulu, T. of H., July is, 1904.
Builders and Traders Exchange, Ho-
nolulu, T. H.
Gentlemen: l beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your communication under date
of July IA, signed by several of the
plumbers of Honolulu, i'm which the re-
quest is made that the Government
segregate the plumbing work on all
new buildings to be erected and bids
called for on the plumbing work as a
separate item. l note that the reason
given for asking that this be done is
owing to the fact that they claim that
the Government viii secure a higher
standard of work than heretofore but I
do not see why that would be accont-
plished by separating the contracts and
it has always been our endeavor to Sc
cure the best work possible and in con-
formity with our specifications. There
are others distinct classes of work In
the erection of our larger buildings, and
should We segregate the plumbing we
would undoubtedly have further re-
quests to make separate contracts for
all the different classes of work. This
would require great deal of additional
labor and our office force having been
reduced on account of cuts in the APP
preparation would not be sufficient to
carry on the work properly. I should
be pleased, however, to discuss this
matter with YOU should you deem it
advisable to appoint a committee to
take the matter up with me.
Yours respectfully.
c. S. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Work.
Upon motion the following We're APP
pointed committee to wait upon the
Superintendent of Public Works and dis
cuss the matter with him, w. J. Eng
land, j. f. Bowler and President Craig.
The main objection to the present
system is that it enables speculative
builders to make money on the capital
of their sub-contractOrs with the sup
port of the government.
The proposal to amend the bylaws 10
braden the range Of eligibility to mem
bership was left over for more re-
preventative meeting.

The sorrow over the loss of the Russian
torpedo boat destroyer was swallowed up
by the admiration caused by the daring ex-

chief in going personally to her rescue.
There Is deep-seated conviction here
that henceforth there viii be complete

Makaroff will make the feet at Port Ar

reputation throughout the length and

his laurels as a bold and fearless fighter
who loves TO take the chances of war His
ideas run counter to those generally ac-
cepted by naval experts and strategists.

William Grunow editor of Die GrenZboten
of Leipsic, in Analysing the play of inter-
national interests in the far east, says the
late Field Marshal Won Waldersee after
his return from China. often talked with
his close friends on the certainty that the
United States would have leading role
there. His solicitude for the future inter-
ests of Germany was also connected with
the United States position in far eastern
affairs.
Herr Grunow does not say where Won
Waldersee's utteranees end and the editors
begin but the article continues:
THE United States attitude toward
Japan IS understandable because of her
commercial relations with Japan and Man
churia, and by ,eason of her aspiration to
the hegemony of the Pacific. If the United
States should maintain her claims to pre-
dominance in the Pacific she must reckon
with Japan. either friend or an enemy
For the moment the United States inter
ests require friendly relations with Japan
taking into consideration the limited
strength of the American navy and the
existence of the British-Japanese alliance
For the time this alliance will check Amer
lean hegemony on the Asiatic side of the
Pacific"
The editor regards an American British
Japanese alliance as a possibility.

NEW YORK, March ia cablegram
from Tokyo says: A Japanese transport
which has arrived at Sasebo with the
bodies of nine men and a number of sur
vivors of the latest Port Arthur battle
brings news of a terrific hand-to-hand
fight on the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Stereguschtchi between the cap
tain of the destroyer and Japanese
bluejacket. Most of the survivors on the
transport are wounded, ten of them be-
ing seriously hurt. Survivors who tell
the story of the hand-to-hand fight say
the Japanese torpedo boats and Russian
boats were much closer together than
reported by Admiral Togo. At one time,
while the battle was fiercest. Jap blue
jacket jumped from the deck of his own
vessel to that of the Stereguschtchi. The
captain of the Russian destroyer was just
coming from his cabin. The two sprang
at each other. but the Jap felled the Rus
sian with his cutlass. Before the latter
could rise the bluejacket then kicked
him overheard and he was drowned
Four Jap torpedo boats then surrounded
the Stereguschtchi and another Russian
destroyer and a desperate fight ensued,
in which the Japs showed the utmost
bravery
The Russians repeatedly tried to break
through the Jap Gordon and reach the
harbor In this attempt one boat was sue
cessful. but the Stereguschtchi was so
damaged she could not escape Twenty
Russian dead were on the deck of the
doomed boat when she sank.
The Japanese say every movement OF
the enemys boats was observable and
that the cruisers seemed to be crowded
with men, packed together like bees in a
hive.
Japs Routed in Skirmishes.
A cablegram from Port Arthur says: In
a scrimmage between Cossacks and Jap

WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL.
China Gives Assurance That She Will
Extend No Aid to Either Side.

The State Department has just received a
formal assurance from China that the gov
eminent of that country would insist on the
observance 1of the strctest neutrality on
the part of the Chinese subjects toward
both sides during the present war This
assurance is in addition to the formal no.
tice of neutrality already generally pro-
claimed by China. 1t is believed here that
the last assurance given to the United
States will be useful in finally allaying the
apprehensions expressed by one of the
belligerents that China would be led away
by the Japanese successes into a breach OF
neutrality. Secretary Hay has always
earnestly advised the Chinese to adopt the
most stringent measures to preserve abso-
Lutte neutrality. and in view of this last as
surance it is believed that there is no rea-
sonable cause for apprehension remaining

McKoin has been in the Indian SER

first appointment under President
Harrison in 1892. and was stationed
at Quapaw, !. T. His next post was
at Albuquerque, N. NJ. Later he was
assigned to Fort Mojave and from
there came to Siletz.
During his stay at the Siletz reser-
walton in Southwestern Oregon, Mr..
McKoin did much toward improving
the lot and condition of the Indians
under his care. Very few, II any, OF
the Siletz Indians wear blankets or
long hair, but follow the customs OF
the whites. They are thrifty and in
dust-ious, conducting farms. garden
ing and small shops. Many of them
are well-to-do. With the Umatillas

Robert Rem, who for the past
three years has been the efficient
agent of the Pacific Express Compa-
ny in this city, has resigned his po-
sition TO accept a position as messen-

Mr.. Rem goes to Spokane in the
morning to take his new position, but
his family will not go to Spokane un-
til about December !. Mr.. Renn's

between this city and Portland. He
will make one trip from Spokane to

return on Nos. and 4, his headquar-

Mr.. Rem began working for the
Pacific Express company in this city
13 years ago, under L. G. Frazer,
then agent, and has worked at diff
ferent places in that time, the last
assignment before coming to Pendle-
ton, three years ago, being Colfax.
He is highly esteemed by the public
and is one of the most efficient men
in the service and this new position
is practically promotion to one OF
the best positions in the gift of the
company.
His successor will be P. E. Settles

kane offices for some time and comes
to Pendleton highly recommended by

will go to 81 pound on 1904 hops,
but 1 would not be surprised If an
