IS
TO HAVE
GAS

Within a couple of months the con-
structlon of the plant and the laying
of mains in Honolulu for the gas COM
pany just authorized by Congress will
be commenced. Ample capital SUBJ
scribed by California and Honolulu
men. is waiting to be invested in the
project and the articles of incorpora-
ton of the new company will be filed
within week. The franchise granted
by Congress is in the name of local and
outside parties.
"The present plan is to establish
works with large supply power, and
with twelve to thirteen miles of MAINS"
said w. r. Castle yesterday. 1--WE are
considering whether to make gas from
coal or from oil, but the latter is pref
cradle and we shall probably use oil.
The only proposition now is to make
fuel gas; we have no intention at pres
ent of manufacturing 1t for illuminate
| ing purposes. There has been no de-
cision as to where the plant is to be
located, although applications have
been made to the Bishop Estate and
other property owners for land. We
intend to extend the mains only to
the more thickly populated districts at
the start, and the pipes will run prob
ably on King street to Keeaumoku and
also on King out Kalihi way. The Nu-
uanu district will also be covered.
THE franchise is held by the Estate
of W. w. Dimond, and by A. N. Camp
bell, w. r. Castle and William J..
Landers of San Francisco. With them
are associated quite a number of
prominent citizens of Honolulu who
will take an active interest in the new
company. There is ready for invest
ment between s250,O0O and $50. 900, with
which the company will be incorpor-
ated and as the plant and mains are
extended new stock will be issued to
cover the additional cost. Plenty of
capital has been available, and San
4 Francisco men were willing to take the
entire enterprise off our hands but we
wanted the control to be kept in Ho-
nolulu, and the company operated for
the benefit of the local people.
ut is the intention of the company
to supply stoves and other parapherna-
liza for the use of the gas and we will
nave IL young lauy mere TO uel1lOnSlrale
the best and most economical ways of
using the fuel. 1t has been the ex-
perience in California and other places,
that an ordinary family of four or five
persons, uses from 1000 to $500 feet of
gas month The maximum charge
fixed by Congress is 1925 per thousand,
although no rate has been determined
upon by the company. 1t will be our
purpose of course, to make the rate as
low as possible in order to get people
generally to use gas for fuel"
Mr.. Castle said that there had been
delay in ordering material because the
promoters had no knowledge of the
possible action by Congress, and We're
\ waiting until the franchise had become
law before acting. 1t is the expecta-
ton, however, to begin work within
a couple of months, and the construc-
ton of the plant and laying of the
mains will be proceeded with as rapidly
as possible.

ARTILLERY
WILL. LEAVE
Camp Mckinley Will Be
Deserted May
Sixth.

The two conn anies of coast artillery
at Camp Mckinley will leave for the
coast on the transport Sherman about
Nav 9th. and for few days Hawaii
will be compelled to rely upon the Ma
tonal Guard for protection.
Official orders have been received by
Col. Mcclellan for the transfer of the
66th and 9th companies of Coast Ar
tillery to the Preside at San Fran
cisco, and the artillery men have pack
ed their belongings and will go on the
first transport. The next transport ex-
pected is the Sherman, which has the
Twenty-Ninth Infantry aboard and
which sailed from Nagasaki for this
port on last Thursday. She is expect
ed to arrive about May 5th and the two
companies will join her here. The
various belongings of the artillery have
| already been turned in to Captain WI
hanson, the Depot Quartermaster.
only the two companies with Their
respective officers will leave, and the
camp itself will be maintained. Col
Mcclellan will still retain command
here. and the post surgeon will also
stay.
The two artillery companies are to be
relieved by the 2Sth and 92nd compa
MES of Coast Artillery, which are now
at the Preside. 1t will be simply an
exchange of posts. The two new COM
panies are expected to get here about
May Sth on the transport Thomas

CONSIDERING THE JUDGES

TT was extremely difficult to get any
legislation through Congress at this
session." said D.. l.. Wilmington, who
had just returned from Washington,
yesterday. '"The gas and the electric
franchises We're granted only as spe-
cial favor The orders We're out that
there should be no new Legislation De
cause of the necessity for an early adj
journment on account of the elections.
The administration is satisfied with its
present record and there was no desire
for new legislation. 1t was only by
the great concession on the part OF the
committee on rules that the two Ba-
waiian franchise bills were considered
at all.
THE gas bill as signed by the Pres
ident is not substantially different from
that which passed the Hawaiian Leg
islature, with the exception that in
place of thirty-five year franchise,
it is made perpetual, subject to repeal
by Congress, or by the Legislature with
the approval of Congress. The maxi
mum rate as fixed is $2.25 per thousand
feet with ten per cent discount for cash
in place of the $3.50 rate fixed by the
local legislatu A section was added
also to authorize either the company
or any consumer to ask the courts to
adjust rates at any time.
THE Attorney General is giving the
| matter of judicial appointments his
| careful consideration. +. +. Dole, who
| had been a candidate for the place or
the Supreme Court, and who had the
endorsement of a large number of in
fluential Senators and members of the
House, has withdrawn, and is now re-
ported to be a candidate for the Circuit
Judgeship. l do not believe Judge
Edings will be reappointed; he has
even less chance of appointment than
Judge Little of Hilo. There are a num-
Der of strong protests against Little
in the Office of the Department of JUS
tice.
Chief Justice F'rear, in my opinion,
will be reappointed, and | would not be
surprised if Justice Perry was also re-
appointed unless he is opposed by Gov
ernor Carter. There are "A number of
strong men who are candidates for the
Supreme bench: A. 5. Hartwell, +. NJ
Hatch, H. Il. Cooper and Henry T..
Highton.
Il feel very sure that the attacks on
Judges Frear and Perry have had lit
tie, If any, weight in Washington
Governor Carter will have a good deal
To say in the matter of appointments,
prince Cupid has been attending
strictly TO business in Congress Mr..
Clark has been assisting him. The
great cry in Washington has been for
Hawaii to send strong man there 10
look out for her interests"

A Very Favorable Report.

Corbin q Goodrich, Philadelphia
agents for the Hartford Steam Boiler
Insurance Company yesterday forward
ed the report of Inspector T. II. Repp
OIL the condition of the boilers at the
Water Works.
Mr. Repp made the inspection last
Friday and found the boilers above the
average, expressing himself to that
effect after he had completed his
work. The inspection was made As a
preliminary step to having them in
sured. The report is as follows.
To the Borough OF DanvilIe:
There Is some loose scale and de
posit OH the bottom of These boilers
and at the rear end, which we recon-
mend washed out. Otherwise boilers
are clean, and the openings TO con
nections are clear.
The she'll plates and heads are sound,
and the braces are taut There Is some
light corrosion and pittIng on the
tubes; but so far rs it Is possible for
us to see this, it j. not sufficient to be
serious. 1t has probably been caused
by the boiler standing out of use with
water in it; and if the boilers arc to
stand idle for any length of time, we
would recommend that the water be
drawn off, and that they be kept dry
as possible.
Externally there are no evidences
of leaking, or any serious corrosion.
The settings are also in good repair
1T would be better if the blow of
pipes were taken from the bottoms Of
the boilers, at the rear end, and, in
stead of from the rear head, as eN-
planned by the Inspector 1t would
be more desirable if the water con
nections to the water column were
taken from the lower part Of the front
head, as explained by the lns pactor,
as at present they are covered by the
brIckwork and cannot be examined.
Otherwise the connections were all in
good condition, and the steam gauges
are correct.

Not Ouite Ready to Begin Work

A large number of men in quest of
employment early yesterday morning
repaired to the Borough line to see
what the prospects were for getting
work on the new road to be built to
Mausdale under the Act of April 10,
1903.
The contractors, however, were not
on the ground and the men after wait
ing awhile returned to Danville.
w. U. Oakes, representative OF the
Maryland Construction Company, W no
is stopping at Hotel Oliver. in an in
terview last evening stated that some
preliminary work remains to be accom-
plished and he was not certain that
the actual work o: construction will
begin this week. He was certain that
nothing will be done today.
Mr. Oakes will remain on the ground
and will employ teams and men, put
ting them to work as fast as they en-
ter the company's service. Few men
have been employed.

Il All Depends on the Election.

The railing is being placed in posi-
tion on the coping along side of the
new culvert, Mill street 1t adds much
to the appearance and conveys a good
idea of how nicely the whole improve
ment will show up when the culvert
is cleaned up and paved and the side
walks lowered.
Persons generally have become very
weary of the unsightly appearance
presented by the old and irregular
sidewalks at each end of the culvert
and they can not understand why there
should be so much delay i'll hav ing
them lowered to conform with the es-
tablished grade.
1t was learned yesterday that delay III
the matter is necessary. In case Mill
street is to be paved the curbing will
have to be set to correspond, while
should the result of the special cleo
tion be unfavorable and street paving
have to he abandoned the curbing will
differ little, if any, from that employ
ed at present. Obviously, therefore,
it would be inexpedlent to lower the
sidewalks until after the special cleo
tion when it will be known just how
the curbing is to be set.

WILL USE SPECIAL
BALLOT BOXES

The special election at which our
rlilzeIrS are asked 10 vote upon the
0ue.tIon of increasing the Borough 5
indebtedness for the purpose of paving
Min street and in telling municipal
l. ght VIII raLe place on next Tuesday
August 2nd.
There are several questions connect
ed with the special election which are
much discussed, not only by those who
have the conduct of il on their hands
but by the electors in general and peo-
ple about the street The point 10 de-
teImine, it seems, is how far the gen p
eral election laws apply to a special
election of this sort.
Few are found TO question whether
the regular voting booths may be us
ed. But there is much doubt whether
the regular ballot boxes, containing
tickets, list of voters, &c, sealed up
at the close of the last election and
not to be opened unsil the morning OF
the next election, can legally be used
at the special election next Tuesday
also whether the places at which
liquor is sold may remain open.
The Act of 1891 ITO Regulate the
manner OF increasing Indebtedness OF
municipnlities" sets forth that such
elections shall be held at the place,
time and under the same regulations
as provided by law for the holding OF
municipal elections. II provides that
tickets properly and legally labeled
shall be deposited i'll a box provided
for that purpose as is provided by law
in regard to other tickets received at
said elections.
The above removes the last doubt as
TO whether the regular voting booths
may be used at the special election,
but it is not quite clear enough on the
other point relating to ballot boxes TO
satisfy ouI Councilmen aud to be on
the safe side they have decided to use
special ballot boxes and have already
ordered the same to be made.
W. kase West, Attorney for the
County Commissioners, yesterday rem
dered an opinion stating that the reg
ular ballot boxes may not be used at a
special election, such as held on next
Tuesday. AS to the other question in
volved whether or not the bars must
close during the election there seems
to be but little difference of opinion,
as the law seems very plain. The sec
tion relating 20 liquor reads "a fol-
lows:
1T shall not be lawful for any per
son with or without license to sell
to any person any intoxicating drink
on any day on which elections are now
or hereafter may be required to be

New Steps at 81. Joseph'e Church.

Among the improvements at st. JOS
eph's Catholic Church is the rebuild
ing of the stone steps at the three en-
frances at the front of the church. At
each door there is a flight of some
four steps built of large dressed stone,
which have been there ever since the
church was built. Under the action
of the elements the stone has begun to
disintegrate and are no longer slightly
nor safe.
The steps are being entirely rebuilt,
dressed blue stone taking the place oi
