JOYOUS JAPS GIVE
NO JOY TO MAUI
REFUSED TO WORK THIS WEEK
AND CAUSED ALL PLANTATIONS
TO SHUT DOWN.

The citation on the part of the Jap
anese on the island Of Maui over the
fall of Port Arthur has played the mis-
chief with the plantations on that ISL
and. News by the steamer Likelike
this morning is to the effect that ever
since the announcement of Port Ar
thurs fall was received ON Maui the
Japanese laborers on the plantations
refused to work as they proposed to
celebrate the victory of their armies.
They nave been taken a general holt
day and work has had to be generally
suspended this week.
1t has been Ilanned to load the
schooner Aloha at Kaanapali but owing
to the Japanese being idle there was
a delay. Natives were secured how
ever to fiji in the places made vacant
by the celebrating Japs and the work
will be hurried. 1t is expected that
the Aloha viii get away for San Fran
cisco next Tuesday with full load of
sugar.
On the island of Oahu there does not
appear to have been any such condition
as exists on Maui. The japanese on
the various plantations laid off work
for a day or so but reports are that
they have generally returned to work.

PRACTICE: TOWER
FOR FIREMEN
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
THAT PURPOSE.

According to the request of Fire
Commissioner Arthur Berg Superin-
tendent Holloway of the Public Works
Department has authorized the con-
stuction of practice tower for the use
of the Honolulu Fire Department.
The structure, which will be five stor-
les i'm height will be placed i'm the rear
of the Beretania street fire han and
when completed viii be used for drill
by every man on the force. a regular
system of drill, modelled after that in
use by the San Francisco department
and modif ID to the needs of this city,
will be introduced.
The skeleton structure will provide a
place where the men may exercise with
their scaling ladders and may practice
carrying hose to upper stories of build
ings. A particularly useful practice
is e jumping from high places into
the life saving nets held below. 1t
Is understood that i'm order to show
their regard for Commissioner HollO-
way for putting up the practice tower,
the Fire Commissioners are going to
accord him the privilege Of making the
first jump from the extreme top of the
tower as soon as it is completed.
There is already considerable competi-
tion among the firemen for the honor
of holding the net.

DEAD PRESENTS
FOR SMITHIES
KUHIO SENT PLANTS AND ROOTS
WHICH WE'RE MAKE" WHEN
THEY ARRIVED IN HONOLULU.

George Smithies, deputy insurance
commissioner, was the victim of mis-
placed confidence yesterday. When
the Mongolia's mail was distributed he
was notified that there were several
parcels for him at the Post Office from
Washington and naturally enough he
concluded that his friend Delegate Ku-
hio had been sending Christmas pre-
sents which had arrived a little late.
He received the first setback when he
went to the Post Office and was in
formed that his parcels were being
fumigated and he concluded that pre-
sents which have to be fumigated have
their drawbacks to say the least of it.
This morning the presents arrived
and they We're found to consist of
grape cuttings, strawberry plants,
flower roots, shrub cuttings and SINH
lar articles of value to gardeners and
botansts. There was one thing wrong
with them. To all appearances they
were all dead and mouldy. Whether
they were not packed to stand the
severe weather crossing the contin-
ent or whether the fumigation was
too much for them could not be told.
AS the different specimens were sent
from the Government green houses in
Washington for distribution here the
remains were turned over by Smithies
to the Territorial department of Agri-
culture and Forestry for the purpose
of tanning into flame any possible
spark of life that may be left in any
of them.

ExoNBRATING THE TRUSTS.

The result Of the election seems to
indicate that stories Of trust contri-
buttons to campaign funds were UNI
true. The republican vote was too
large to have been bought, and big ma
jorities We're rolled up in states that
no republican would have thought OF
buying. The democratic vote was so
small as to warrant the conclusion that
the trusts did not invest on that side
since they got nothing for their money
something that nobody would suspect
a trust of doing,-Topeka State Journal

In order to stimulate public interest
in the university, and to provide har-
monious and dignifed architectural
scheme for the future, Mrs. Hearst eI-
pended nearly $150,000 a few years ago
in an international architectural COM
petition, which attracted universal at
tention at the time She invited all of
the great architects of the world to sub
nit designs for a group of buildings
for an ideal university, to include IL
brary, chapel, lecture halls, labOrator-
les, dormitories, museum, gymnasium
and other buildings, the entire group to
cost 800, 1000 00 The highest architectu-
raj authorities were invited TO serve as
a jury, and plans were submitted by a
number of famous architects in Europe
and America. The jury sat at Ant
werp; it did not accept the entire pro-
posal of any one competitor, but from
the plans of a dozen or more different
competitors it selected the best feat
ures and the group ar finally determin-
ed upon was adopted by the regents as
a harmonious and noble plan to guide
them in building up a university city.
1t has not been the intention of Mrs
Hearst to erect all these buildings at
her own expense, as many people have
supposed. II has been her hope and
expectation that other patrons would
assist i'm carrying out the scheme, and
she has set them good example and
has inaugurated a great undertaking

California has two of the most richly
endowed educational institutions in the
world. Leland Stanford, ,Tr., Univer-
sity undoubtedly has the largest en-
dowment that was ever bestowed upon
any educational or benevolent institu-
tion, while the University of Califor
mia, a state institution, has been the
recipient of nearly $8,OOO.OOO in gifts.
1t is situated in the village of Berkeley,
across the bay from San Francisco, was
chartered in 1868, has about 5000 stu"
dents and graduated 500 last June. Its
faculties comprise more than 300 men,
some of them eminent in their profess
sions, with Benjamin Ide Wheeler as
their president. The academic and
scientific departments are at Berkeley;
the colleges of art, law, medicine, phar-
macy and dentistry are, for the sake of
convenience located in the city of San
Francisco, in buildings provided by the
late Adolph Sutro. The endowment of
the university by the state and by in
dividual patrons is capitalized at about
81, 100000 which produces a yearly in
come of 100000.
Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, widow of the
late Senator George Hearst, has been
it's rTSst generous benefactor, and in
