F. B. MeStocker went to Kona, Ha-
waii, on the steamer Mauna Loa, ac-
companied by Mr.. Spindle, who is
locating the Koolau railroad on this
island, to make preliminary inspec-
ton of the location of the West Ha-
wafi Railway Company's line. The
company expects soon to extend It's
lines from North into South Kona, and
eventually to the sea at some port to
be selected.
The West Hawaii railway now has
seven miles of tracks with cars and
engines which formerly belonged to the
Kona Sugar Company. This outfit will
be made the nueleus of the extension

intention being that the road shall
eventually cover the whole of North
and South Kona and reach port so
as to Ee able to handle all the in and
out freight of the two districts.

Dick Croker-that as a young man his

swimmer. He was admitted to full
partnership, and soon thereafter to
leadership, in a political concern en-
gagged in picking up a more or Less

Tunnel Gang. In this institution Crok-

availed himself of the rude appliances
of the laboratory, which covered an
area of ten squares. The assistant,
who was managing the affairs for Boss
Tweed in the vicinity of the Fourth
avenue tunnel, would not supply chem
icals to Croker and his fellow students,
and otherwise this assistant hindered
the intellectual development of the
gang. So the gang set out TO find the
Holy Grail in New York politics, and
to show Mr. Tweed what a group of
young men of high ideals and two nim-
BILE fists each may do toward attaining
the Good, the True and the Beautiful.

Albany and legislated Croker out of Of

LINK M,CANDLESs.

Link McCandless was wise to the
fact that Hawaiian is the language
for political speeches at this season. He
thanked the Republican Hawaiians for
upholding the party that has proven the
correctness of their action. Referring
to the county act. he said there are
weak spots in it that must be strength
ened and if the Republican candidates
are elected the act will be changed. He
referred, also, to the bill prepared
which provided for the payment of a
dollar and half day to employees of
the road department. The difficulty in
that bill was that it fixed the wages
in one part of the Territory at one
figure and another somewhere else.
The Supervisors, he said, "are
the ones who fix pay after the Legisla-
ture adjourns, and it is for you to see
that the right men are elected to the
Board He complimented the party
for its selection from the different pre-
eincts the candidates for different

to vote for Kaleo. Frequent reference
to the improvement of Pauoa road

The friends Of the bill extending the
projected Palisades Park to the Stony
Point Reservation SO as to inchide Hook
Mountain and save it from the quarrymen.
are fearful that it will be defeated when it
comes up for a vote in the Senate to-day.
Senators Malby, Raines and Aids, they say,
rave formed a combination against the
bill, and the measure is in danger, in spite OF
the fact that Gov. Higgins has announced
that he was in favor of it and there is almost
universal public sentiment for it.
The bill amends the law OF 1900 which in
stituted the commission for the purpose OF
taking the lower Palisades for a park; 1t
is now the plan to run the road Which is
being laid out by the commission to the
Stony Point Reservation, where it will meet
the new State road, making a continuous
drive along the most beautiful part OF the
State. 1t was announced yesterday by the
friends of the measure that should it go
through enough money has been promised
by private individuals to construct the
proposed extension to the drive, and no
other funds will be necessary.
The bill passed the Assembly on Tues
day. Yesterday. after a hard fight, it was
got out OF the Senate Finance Committee,
where it had been held up since February l..
Senator MaIby is said to be fighting it in
the interests Of Odell; who for some reason
doesn't want the bill to pass.

Money and Ring.
Though her parents and the police used
every persuasion, Sadie Mahoney, 10 years
old, a photographer employed by Butler
Bros. Of 495 Broadway, absolutely refused
in the Tombs police court yesterday to press
a charge against Kirk Parker Harger, 10
years old, Of 81 Eldert street, Brooklyn,
who was accused of robbing her Of a gold
ring and $14.50.
Harger, who came from Pittsburg about
four months ago. struck up an acquaintance
with the girl on Broadway three weeks ago.
The two quickly became great chums,
On Monday afternoon Harger met the
girl by appointment and they strolled down
Broadway. On the way Harger offered
TO take care Of her money and ring,
telling her there were many pickpockets
about. When they reached the Post Office
Harger said he wanted to go inside for his
mail. Sadie waited outside for him.. But
Harger did not return, and after some hours
Sadie went ovsr and told her troubleS to
Inspector F!rot at the City Hall. Three
detectives were put on the case, and on

Nothing would induce her to change her
mind. All she wanted, she said, was to get

ger was paroled by Magistrate Breen,
who told him that if he did not return the
money and ring by Friday he would be re-
