FEDERAL HARBOR APPROPRIATION

If Honolulu were forced to a choice
of appropriations. due regard for prac.
teal necessities would lead il to seek
and of course accept liberal funds for
harbor Improvement in preference to
a few thousand for shore batteries.

give this Territory all the Federal ap.
preparations it asks, there is every
cause 10 congratulate the Federal au.

these Islands To beittle the fact well

Indianapolis, Oct 10. - While go

Miller discovered that the city has
been robbed of thousands of dollars

holding up $4,000 which the books
show to be due the Western Construc-

Fasten Tackle.

South Chicago, Oct 19.-(SpeciaL)-
Without warning to the train crew
which was switching a train of cars
in the Philadelphia and Reading coal
yards, the end car ran off the storage
track and toppled into the river. The
car was empty and there being nobody
in close proximity, no other damage
was done excepting that to the car.
A wrecking crane was procured at
once and preparations begun to hoist
the car onto land again. John McIne-
ray, an employe of the coal yards,
donned a diving suit which was pro-
cured from the life saving station and
submerged beneath the water to fas ten
the hosting tackle. Owing to the car
rocking in the water, his was a rather
precarious undertaking, but he es-
capped without injury and at 2 o'clock
the car was again safely landed.
