PAY THEIR PAVING TAX.
Mr.. Harmon Says This Was Done to
Quiet Opposition.

That property owners on Lincoln
street between Eighth and Tenth ave-
nues had been offered two years of
their tax assessment for paving free by
G. A. Lytle if they would sign a petit
ton is the assertion made by J. C. Har-
mon. The latter states that Lyle
approached several persons and offered
to pay the first two years tax.
Mr. Harmon, who lives on Buchanan
street between Eighth and Tenth ave
nues, appeared before Mayor w. H
Davis this morning to object at the
action of the streets and walks commit
tee last night in rushing through the
paving petition for Lincoln street be-
tween Eighth and Tenth avenues Har-
mon and others who live on Buchanan
street own property all the way through
to Lincoln street and they are protest
ing because Of excessive special taxes
which will be further added to by the
proposed paving. I'VE will fight the
action in the courts before we allow
this paving to go down. said Mr. Har-
mon. I'VE propose to go together on
this and spend some money before we
quit The petition in favor Of the
pavement had about three feet more
than the necessary amount Of feet 10

the cable was completed three years
ago, the people of Honolulu received
all their news of the outside world by
means of newspapers brought in by
ships So the custom originated of
ringing the bells and blowing the
whistles when a ship was sighted, and
the people assembled at the dock to
get the papers and hear the news.
Ihls custom still continues. Away out
on Diamond Head there is a resort
kept by noted character who has
telephone connection with the city.
When a ship appears, he telephones
the power house of the street railway
company, and. Immediately the curfew
whistle is blown, as done in Atchison
when there is a fire. Then the fruit

the flower sellers, and others inter-

This is the thirteenth voyage of the
siberia" and something has happen
ed: while leaving Honolulu at 5
o'clock this afternoon, one Of the
ships screws became tangled in the
chain of a buoy and we are now lying
mile off Honolulu, trying to find out
what the damage is. A boat load of
officers went over the side just now
and tugs are coming out from the
town, the lights of which are plainly
visible. The ship was compelled to
make a complete and very short turn
in leaving Honolulu; the harbor is
small and the channel shallow. A
eug was at each end of the ship turn
ing it; I was on deck with the other
passengers when heard a man on the
tug nearest me sing out: Look out
Tor your screw Then several sharp
blasts from the tug were blown and
the ships engines were shut off But
presently they started again. slowly
and we proceeded out of the harbor
with great caution. After we were a
mile or more away, a tug came racing
after us with some word about the
buoy chain, whereupOn the engines of
the ship were stopped again, and we
nave been lying here ever since; two
hours We may remain here until
morning. we may proceed at any mo-
ment- There is all sorts of gossip
ABOUT the aCClQGII- PROBABLY 1t does
not amount to much. but 1t may be
necessary to send down divers, which
viii take time. etc.
When we left Honolulu a consider
able number OF people gathered to see
US off. Most OF the passengers, who
has been out sight seeing for eight or
nine hours, appeared wearing floral
wreaths around their necks. purchased
of women and children at the en-
trance to the dack. AS the ship began
moving out to sea, the passengers
threw these floral wreaths to friends
on the dock.
When the passengers began landing
this morning, saw another pretty
sight When a Honolulu passenger
went down the gang plank, he was
received by friends, and after greet
ings were exchanged, one of the floral
w-reaths was thrown over his head and
around his neck; then he was taken
away by his happy friends. Flowers
are very cheap and abundant in Homo
lulu. and the wreaths do not cost
much I think the custom is peculiar
to these Islands.

quently very cheap, and it is more ex-
tensively used every year.
Kansas is run" by the railroad
barons; Hawaii is run by the sugar
barons: wherever you go, you find the
boss.a Five sugar firms control the
islands, and they are in a trust, of
course; you can't get away from the
trust, either. Hawaii seemed a para
disc to me. but Mr.. Emmeluth told me
there were many Reforms to work out.
It seemed to me, in a vague sort Of
way, that 1 had heard that word be-
fore, somewhere. / did not inquire
particulars, but Mr.. Emmeluth told me
that the japanese and Chinese were
running everything by means of brisk
competition. Mr.. Emmeluth, indeed,
is now closing out his hardware bust
ness. because of japanese and Chinese
competition, and will engage in raising
pineapples.
There are six thousand acres in some
of the sugar plantations, and irrigation
is necessary in raising sugar cane. At
one of the sugar plantations, the
pumping machinery alone cost half
million dollars. This pumping machin-
cry is used in pumping water from ar
tesian wells, and the water is used for
irrigating the cane lands. A great deal
of fertilizer is also used: an immense
fertilizer plant is operated in Honolulu,
and is one of the sights. Bird guano is
and in combination with sulphuric
acid, and a certain low form of fish is
ground into a fertilizer. The sugar
barons are viewed with Alarm but
they do a great deal for the country.
which is also true of the railroads and
packing houses at home, if may be
pardoned for saying it.
Annexation with the United States
was formerly very popular, but some
of the people are now saying: "Well,
I don't know" Mr.. Emmeluth favor
ed annexation, but says business is not
so good now as it was before. For
merly the islands were in constant
turmoil but at least peace has been
forever assured. Business may be dull,
but no citizen now fears an alarm in
the night, and a new ruler. During
our drive in the mountains, we were
shown a high place over which a. lot
of natives were once driven by another
lot of natives who had revOlted.
