WHERE NEW COUNTY OF OAHU WILL
START INTO BUSINESS FOR ITSELF
Rents Roomsin Mcintyre
Block at Fort and
King Street.

The Board of Supervisors for Oahu
county has rented four rooms in the
Mcintyre block. corner Fort and King
streets, for use as county offices and
Will take possession on the 1st. These
rooms are on the second floor, of
course, but the location is right in the
heart of the city, convenient of access
to business men and the public gener-
ally. In fact. better place in many
respects could not have been chosen.
The agents of the building were to have
been notified last night of the choice of
the Supervisors. Also, it is possible
that five rooms may be taken-and pos
sible likewise that for the present the
county officials may get along with
three. The office of the Treasurer,
under this arrangement, will in all
probability be in the Fort street Office
of r. II. Trent.
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The Supervisors had an executive
meeting, the first, in the throne room
at the Capitol yesterday afternoon.
Various matters came up for discus
sion. Superintendent of Public Works
Holloway and Alex. Young. Superinten-
dent of Kapiolani Park, were before
the Board, and were asked to give
estimates as to what was the least the
park could be kept up for. Mr. Hollo-
way and Mr.. Young both asked for
$1,000 a month to enable the Park Board
to carry on certain improvements that
had been projected. The Supervisors,
however, while friendly to the park, did
not see their way to giving any such
amount as that.
A LOWER ESTIMATE.
Finally, Mr.. Holloway said that the
Park could be kept as it is now for the
same allowance that had been granted
to it by the Territorial government,
namely S666.66 per month. He was ask
ed if the grass could not be kept
watered, the trees attended to and all
things kept as they are now for $500
month.
This cOuIQ De oll a
pinch, and after a somewhat extended
discussion it was developed that the
Supervisors would favor giving $666.66,
the present allowance, if it should be
found that Oahu county is to have
ss7. 500 from the Treasury for the month
of July, and $500 if the county is to
get the lesser amount, namely S25,OOU
And with that the Park people were,
perforce. content.
NO REAL OPPOSITION.
The Supervisors likewise discussed
financial matters somewhat at yester- |
5av afternoons meeting, and also the |
nrenaration of resolutions under the !
terms Of which the various departments |
will be carried on after Saturday the |

Will come on next Monday. Articles
Z and s, dealing with the fate of the
Chinese Eastern railroad, having
been disposed of yesterday there re-
mains, in addition to the cession of
Sakhalien, which wax passed over,
the question of indemnity, which
comes up today, as article 3, the limf-
tation of Russia's sea power in the
Far East, the surrender of the in
termed warships and the grant to
Japan of fishing rights on the littoral
north of Vladivostok.
To all except the latter, to which
Russia VIII agree, a negative answer
has been returned, absolute in the
case of indemnify and Sakhalien.
Perhaps both the others may be
modified and accepted by Mr.. Witte
in order to strengthen his position
insisting upon a concession from
Japan regarding its demands of an
Indemnity and Sakhalien.
