"As it is my intention to sell at auc-
ton the buildings used i'm the Deten-
ton Camp and as 1 understand you
wish to retain the portion at present
used by your Department, I would sug-
gest that you make application to the
Bishop Estate for a new lease Of the
property described in the enclosed let
ter. In talking the matter over with
Mr.. Dodge, l believe that the Bishop
Estate will make such a lease, and in
case the rent paid is satisfactory they
will probably agree to lease the prop
erty for a long term of years.
THE Government has, been paying
$500 a year for 80 acres, which is at the
rate of $50 per acre, and by special
agreement the taxes were omitted
Il would also suggest that you obtain
the right to connect a 3-inch pipe to
the 12-inch main from the artesian
we'll on the mauka side Of the road
with supply of water from same, un-
INSTRUCTED by any valves or other de-
vices for throttling or reducing the
natural flow of water from the well.
AT the present time the pipe going
to the Pest House and Sisters Home
runs through the Detention Camp, but
] think it would be advisable to have
the pipe laid in the street and connect
ing to the Pinch main outside of the
Detention Camp, so that there would
he no trouble in obtaining Sufficient
water at all times.
LAS 1 desire to advertise the Deten-
ton Camp for sale at an early date, I
would request that you take this mat
ter up with the Bishop Estate at your
early convenience. Yours respectfully,
C. s. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent Of Public Works"

OFFICIAL QUARREL
OVER NOTHING
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS
MUCH DISCUSSED ASYLUM
QUARRY ABOUT EXHAUSTED.

The asylum quarry, over which the
Board of Health and the Department
of Public Works had a long and bitter
controversy, is of no importance to the
Public Works Department, according to
a letter received by the Board Of
Health yesterday from Superintendent
Holloway. Work at the quarry was
noisy and was injuring the patients in
the asylum, it was claimed, and the
Board of Health finally succeeded in
having the work suspended. The letter
received yesterday stated that Hollo-
way would have plans for the new asy-
lum building ready as soon as possible
and added the following regarding the
rOck-crusher:
Regarding the Government rock
crusher in the rear of the Asylum
grounds, 1 would say that at the pres
ent time there are no funds available
for the removal of this plant, and I
am seriously considering the advisable
ity of selling the entire equipment at
auction, as 1 believe that the Govern
ment has sufficient quarry capacity
outside of the Insane Asylum quarry,
and I also understand that the latter
is about exhausted. Yours respectfully,
&c. S. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works. "
Superintendent Holloway also COM
municated with the Board about the
Kalihi lepers' detention hospital. 1t is
on ground for which the governments
lease expires next year and the super
intendent wrote as follows, his letter
being referred to DR.. Coopre:
Il beg to hand you herewith a de-
scriptiOn and blue print Of the proper
ty belonging to the Bishop Estate at
and at present occupied
by the pest house and the home for
children of leprous pa
rents. The total area is S.8 acres, and
this piece Of land is a part of that
leased by the Government for a Deten-
ton Camp, said lease expiring in jan
uary, 1905.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
1t Rejects an Amendment to Forbid
Remarriage of Divorced Persons.

1t Rejects an Amendment to Forbid
Remarriage of Divorced Persons.
Boston, Oct. 15.-The house of depu-
ties Of the Episcopal general conven-
tiOn at the close OF n four days debate
yesterday rejected an amendment to
the divorce canon which sought to pre-
vent the re-marriage of divorced per-
sons by clergymen of the denomina-
tion. While the house of bishops may
yet act on the matter, it is certain that
no change will be made by the present
convention.
The present law of the church,
which has been in operation since
1859, allows the remarriage of the in
nocent party to divorce granted for
jlfidelity. At several conventions at
mptS have been made to repeal this
IL and when a vote was taken Friday
by the house of deputies sitting as a
committee of the whole on the ques-
tion Of reporting the proposed amend
ment to the house itself, the reformers
were successful by vote of 214 to 191.
and this vote was regarded as repre-
senting the actual strength of the con-
tending forces.
1 ne Hndl vote, however, was taken
by dioceses and orders, and where a
diocese was evenly divided in SEN
timent its strength was counted In the
negative. The vote by dioceses was:
Clerical-For the amendment 30
against, 81; divided, 10.
Lay vote-For, 25; against "a; di-
vided, 6.
Practically the entire strength of
the middle west states, the stronghold
of the high church party, declared for
the proposed reform, but the Pacific
states and number of southern states
voted against change of the present
canon. The diocese of New York OPP
posed the amendment. while that of
Pennsylvania favored it. Vermont,
New Hampshire and western Massa-
chusetts voted for change, as did the
lay deputies from Rhode Island. The
clerical deputies from Maine favored
the amendment, but the votes of Con
necticut and Massachusetts were cast
in the negative. The issue was not a
party one.

A Big Registration.

Columbus, o., Oct. 15.-The first
days registration in the cities of Ohio
indicates that the quietness of the
campaign is by no means evidence Of
apathy on the part of voters. Practic-
ally every city in the state showed an
increase in registration over the first
day of previous years. At both
state headquarters an advantage is
claimed. Republicans say as Ohio is
a republican state a heavy vote favors
their party. On the other hand the
democratic leaders say that the big
republican pluralties of recent years
have been due to stay -at.home demo-

A Fatal Experiment.

st. Paul. Mimi, Oct. 15.-P NJ
Scannon and wife, of Minneapolis, fell
from third story window of the Ger
mania building to the stone sidewalk
yesterday. The woman was killed and
Scannon is not expected to live. Scan
non is the inventor Of a fire escape
and 1t was during a test Of the appa-
ratus that the accident occurred. He
had swung himself down from the
eighth floor of the building to the
third, where his wife was awaiting
him in window. The rope which
sustained them was light and when
the woman's weight was added to that
of her husband, the stone window
ledge above cut the strands of the
rope. letting them both fall.
