BUILDING
Maps of Sites Being
Prepared Now for
Inspection.

Owners of property who are willing
to have the same converted into a
Federal building site, for which there
is Il congressional appropriation of
s15O,00O. are preparing maps and data
concerning the same to be forwarded
tc Washington.
Among the prospective sites is the
Bishop Estate property on Bishop
street, opposite the Alexander Young
building. Then there is the Mahuka
property facing on King street. oppo-
site Bishop street This property also
faces on Merchant street. and for the
purposes of Federal site, the owners
propose to cut an extension of Bishop
street through the property. The old
Edinburgh property on Queen street,
back of HackfeId's old Office building,
now used as a supplementary ware
house, is proposed.
The Irwin property, the Opera House
premises and adjoining property on
King street, is another site offered.
The Gore" facing upon Union square,
is also in the market.
The property, or block, bounded eby
King, Nuuanu, Merchant and Bethel
streets. owned by several persons and
estates, is being worked into a site
proposition by r. G. A. Peterson. He
is having "a map prepared of the whole
block.
II believe this property is ideal for
a Federal site said Mr.. Peterson yes
terday. 1T is a natural division be
tween the foreign and Asiatic sections
of the city, and therefore would be
admirably adapted to all uses to which
Federal building would be put
believe for the advantage of the whole
town no better site could be had, in
asmuch as there is a whole block with
streets, of course. on all four sides"
It is said that the premises bounded
on three sides by Fort, Hotel and Union
streets, on which the principal struc-
ture is the Mott-Smith building at Fort
and Hotel, will be submitted in the
competition for a Federal building site.
There is still standing in the rear of
the premises, on the Union street side,
a building long ago occupied by the
legislature and the executive depart
ments of the monarchy. Latterly it has
been a workshop. A family of royal
blood also had it's home upon the same
premises.

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

Last week Senator Foraker made a
motion that the Senate elect the con-
ferees upon the Statehood bill instead
OF having them appointed by the Vice
President. Later he had conference
with Senator Beveridge, in which he
became convinced that the Senator
from Indiana would labor just as
strenuously for the Senate's position
as he would have done had not the
Foraker amendment with regard to
New Mexico and Arizona been adopted.
Thereupon Senator Foraker Withdrew
his motion. and Vice President Fair
banks named Senators Beveridge, Dill
bingham and Patterson as the con-
ferees on the part Of the Senate Bev-
eridge and Dillingham; supported the
House bill earnestly in. the Senate.
while Patterson, the ranking Demo-
cratic member of the Committee, was
as strongly opposed to the bill. 1t is
therefore settled that the Senate will
obstinately stand for the bill as Il
passed the Senate, and that Speaker
Cannon's conferees will be just as UNI
yielding for the House bill, so that
there is every prospect of a deadlock
The conference on the bill may last
through this week.

very dear to the hearts Of the people.

him the Presidency o: the Illinois Cen

him the hostility of financial magnates

OPENING OF THE WIND RIVER RES
ERVATION.

A bill. which has probably passed
Congress by this time, postpones the
opening Of the Big Wind River or
Shoshone Reservation in Wyoming
from June Is to Aug. Is. 1t is ex-
pected that the biggest rush known in
the Land Office history will be made
for these lands when the reservation
is opened, as there is not only large
area of good agricultural lands. out
also fabulous stories are circulated of
mineral wealth. Altogether there Will
be 100000 acres thrown open to pur-
chase and settlement. EX-solders end
sailors will have the benefits of all the
homestead rights given them by the
laws.
All persons making homestead en-
tries in said reservation within two
years after the opening are required to
pay SLED per. acre, but in homestead
entries made thereafter the sum of
S1.25 is to be paid. Fifty cents per
acre is to be paid at the time of MAX
ing the entry, and % cents per acre
annually thereafter until the price pro-
vidcd for has been fully paid. Lands
entered under the town-site, coal and
mineral laws must be paid for in
amount and manner as provided by
the laws.
Notices of location of mineral entries
are required to be filed in the local
Land Offices of the District in which
the land is situated. and unless entry
and payment shall be made within
three years from the date of location,
all rights Hereunder shall cease.
In case any entryman fails to make
any of the payments within the time
prescribed all rights shall cease. the
payments will be forfeited and the en-
try Cancelled.

The Steering Committee of Repub-
lican Senators has been thinking a
great deal. but saying little. and by
this commendable course arrived at the
wise conclusion to have the rate bill
carefully amended SO as TO provide for
an appeal to the courts, with the APP
pellant railroad required to make a
deposit covering the difference between
it's rate and that ordered by the Com
mission during the suspension of the
Commissions order. Therefore, if the
Court decides that the Commissions
recover the excess they were required tc
action is proper the shippers can at once
pay during the judicial examination of
the case. This amendment, which has
not yet been definitely formulated, is in
accordance with Senator Spooner's
plan. 1t Is thought that this will sat
isfy all parties who support rate legis-
latiOn, and be as much as those who
are opposed to such legislation can hope
to gain. This is much preferred to the
proposition to require the appellant
railroads to give bonds, as this might
compel the shippers to bring suits to
recover what had been wrongfully
taken from them.
The debate on tile bill is expected to
continue well along through next
month. .olI

they grow older. In the debate it was
stated by Senator McCumbcr that it
was q virtual Service Pension bill based

Gallinger the bill was go amended as
to dispense with the requirement that
pension applicants show continued dis
ability. The bin now goes back to the
House for concurrence in the amend
ment. after which it will go to the
President and.obecome a law. In the
debate Senator iMeCumber said that it
carried an increase Of about $4,000, 900
over the appropriation last year. which
was due to the Spanish War and Order
