OUARAN
CONTRACT

Cotton Bros, the contractors, are be
lieved to have been awarded the con.
tract for making the improvements at
Quarantine Island, which will cause
that up-to-date portion of the Marine
Hospital Service to become one of the
most complete stations in the United
States.
So far no official confirmation has
been received that the bid has been
awarded to Cotton Bros, but Mr.. Can
ton. the contractors representative in
Honolulu, received cablegram on Sat
urday evening from the headquarters
Of the firm at San Francisco, from
which he infers that the plum has
fallen into their hands. Inasmuch as
the contract, if awarded to Cotton
Bros, will be signed up in> San Fran
cisco. such information would reach
Honolulu later on.
In general, the contract for improv-
ing Quarantine Island calls for the
building of concrete wall entirely
around the island, three feet in height
above the coral footing. The wall
would give the island some prominence
above sea-level. At present its sand
shores are washed with the tides, and
harbor debris is constantly piling up.
The concrete wall would keep this out,
also prevent the island from wearing
off. The portion within the wall will
be filed up, so that 1t will be dry at
all times.
The contract will also call for the
building of concrete piers for the long
approach from the wharf in the har-
bor, running back to the island direct
ly before the administration building
A fine wharf is to be built over the
piers. a large wharf will be built al
the harbor end, which will be equal to
all demands of the station. In time 2
house win he built thereon, in which
will be installed fumigating and other
quarantine equipment.
The contract is valuable one, ana
with the large Federal appropriation
TO he expended on deepening the har-
Dor and deepening and widening the
channel, added to that recently ex-
pended in erecting the Federal immi-
grafton station, Uncle Sam is certainly
doing much to improve the condition
of Honolulu harbor. The Territory is
also working ON different portions of
che waterfront, expanding several hun
bred thousand dollars.
1t is said that the War Department
has had its eye on Quarantine Island
for some time, it being considered a
splendid position for the establishment
of heavy water batteries. However, it
is understood that the Marine Hospital
Service has no fear of being disturbed
in its possession of the little islet
DR.. Golfer, chief of the quarantine
service here, has not heard officially
that Cotton Bros. have been given the
contract for the work, but he, too, has
heard of the matter unofficially.

DlAz is POOR BY COMPARISON

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. l6.-Con-
trary to the general opinion in Mex
leo and abroad, President Diaz Is not
a very wealthy man. Intimate friends
of the Mexican executive who have
knowledge of his affairs declare that
his fortune does not exceed $1,OOO.OO0>
He owns a plantation in the state
of Oaxaca, some property in this cap
ital and a house in Paris. This lat
ter was purchased during his frst
term as president of Mexico, when ne
feared that he might be compelled to
leave the country hurriedly and seek
refuge in a foreign land.
The salary of President Diaz is now
$50 900 a year. For many years 1t
was 10000. and in the early days OF
his administration, when Mexico was
weak financially. he drew out only
enough for his necessary expenses,
leaving the remainder in the treas
ury.
He is now serving his 25tn year as
president of Mexico. and in the quar-
ter of century he has had plenty oil
opportunity to amass an enormous for
tune. 1t is. estimated that the jewels
of Nine. Carmen Romero Rublio de
Diaz. wife of the president, are worth
double the fortune of her husband.

JEWS OPPOSE RUSSIAN LOAN


NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-It is stated
on the authority of number OF Jews
OF this city that Jewish-American d.
nanciers will have nothing to do with
the floating OF a Russian loan until
Russia has actually done something
for the relief of the wretched Jews in
that country. The American Hebrew
says: who shall be the Russian pa
triots7 The proposition that the Jews
of Germany, England or America shall
enact that role is absurdly Indecent.
No matter how weak their faith, no
matter how loose the bond of union
with their brethren may be, no Jew
worthy of the name will, directly or
Indirectly. help to rehabilitate that
government which IL the cause OF
Jewish misery"
On good authority 1t il also stated
that the Rothchilds are steadfastly op.
posed to Russia's policy toward the
Jews.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. l6.-The Sag
the last by the ENJOYS this morning
and article relating to the cession
oil the Chinese Eastern railroadp to
China was taken up. the final out
come is impossible to predict by those
who believe peace will be established
views are about equally divided. The
latest articles agreed upon provide
for mutual pledges OF integrity OF
China and the open door, the surrend-
er OF Il ssian leases to the Lao Tung
penins a Blonde and Elliott islands
and Pcit Arthur and Dalny. The jap
anese made a trip from the hotel to
the navy yard in an open automobile
in a chilling rain this morning.
Close observers think that the COM
promise will crystalize quite natural
ly into the following agreement;
Russia TO yield Saghalien; Japan fore
going an indemnity or the cost of the
war, but taking compensation in mon
ey which would be refunded to Jap
an by China, which would receive the
Chinese Eastern railroad by means oil
Japan. Japan would receive Port Ar
thur and Dalny and pay for maintain
ing the hundred thousand Russian
prisoners in Japan. 1t is known that
Japan has thus already secured by
the articles agreed to much more than
she dreamed of claiming before the
war.
