Final Action Today on
Agricultural Bill.
Grazing Lease Clause viii
Undoubtedly Be Killed.
House Takes Up Sundry Civil Ap.
preparation Bill.

1rosbineton, Feb. 21.-It was con-
oeded today by senators in charge of
.ho agricultural appropriation bill in
tho Senate that the grazing lease pro-
vision would be eliminated from the
hill on a point of order. Several SEN
otors desire to make speeches on the
provision before it is stricken out,
otherwise this action would have been
taken today.
The reading of the agricultural APP
nronriation bill was completed after
most of the day had been spent in de-
hate on the forestry system and the
grazing lands provision. There is to
he decided objection, according to SEN
ator Lodge on several provisions re-
lating to the bureau of chemistry of
the department of agriculture and
these were passed over until tomor-
row.
An amendment was agreed to at the
suggestion Of Senator Nelson which
will add $4,000 each year to the APP
preparation for agricultural colleges
until the total amount for each state
for these colleges shall be $4,000 an
nuallv. The annual appropriation at
present for agricultural colleges is
$4,000.
The salary of the assistant secretary
Of the department was increased from
$500 to $4,000.
The provision for the survey of the
White Mountain and the Appalachian
mountain watersheds to ascertain the
feasibility of making n forest reserve,
was also passed over for discussion.
After the defence of the forest re-
serve system by Senator Spooner, Sem
ator Patterson entered into a full dis
cussion of the subject in opposition to
the proposed grazing lease proposition.
Senator Warren Spying he was aware
the provision would go out on a point
Of order, nevertheless advocated it.
Mr. Warren, rather warmly. resent
ed the charge which re said had been
made in the press and by one of the
government departments that certain
senator's had fenced an the public do
main. Personally, he said, he did not
have an acre of the illegally fenced
land
The session Throughout the day was
devoted to the agricultural bill and it
is understood that this measure will
be again considered tomorrow with the
idea of getting final action on the
measure.
The farewell address of George
Washington is to be read in the SEN
ate tomorrow, according to custom,
Senator Burllett If Nebraska having
been selected some time ago as the
orator.

entrance of the river Mas, leading to
Rotterdam shortly before o'clock
Thursday morning and with the ex-

A terrific southwesterly gale was
blowing right in shore and drove the
steamer on 4 sand bank close to the
northern jetty as she was trying to en-

quickly pounded the vessel to pieces.
She broke in two, her fore part sinking
Immediately while the doomed passen-

Tugs and life boats when the alarm
was first sounded promptly put out to
the assistance of the Berlin but the
violence of the gale and the heavy
seas made it impossible to approach
the wreck and the helpless would-be
life savers saw the steamer break up
and the crew and passengers washed
away without being able to render the
slightest service.
One man, an Englishman, was saved.
He was unconscious when dragged in

London. Feb. 21.-The worst disaster
for many years in the history OF the
busy cross channel-traffic between
England and the continent, occurred
during Il violent gale shortly before
o'clock this morning when the Rotter-
dam mail steamer Berlin from Hard
WITCH to Hoo of Holland. having safely
weathered the hurricane. was suddenly
wrecked as she was entering port. AL
together 143 persons are now dead or
clinging to wreckage.
The terrific seas broke up the steam
er with such awful suddenness that all
efforts to save life appears to have been
utterly hopeless. AT a late hour this
evening it was reported that some few
survivors are still clinging to the
wreck but as the heroic efforts all day
long OF tile life boat crews had failed
to reach them, little hope that they will
be saved remains.
The story of the disaster is told with
dramatic intensity by the following
brief but pregnant messages reaching
Harwich from the agent of the Great
Eastern Railway Co., at Hook Of Hol-
land The first message was handed ir
at the Hook at $50 this morning and
ran as follows:
.'1'he Berlin is stranded at the North
Pier. Her position is very dangerous
There is a heavy gale blowing. Tugs
and life boats are going out to her as
sistance.'
The second message was sent off at
80 and said:
The position Of the Berlin is still
| =. al, i: 81 III
blowing. We have tried TO take off tbs
passengers with tug boat and life boat
but without success up to the present.
The third message was timed at the
| Hook at 7.52 and reached Harwick al
! $40 It said:
1.-The Berlin has broken in two, and
| very probably will prove total loss
Her crew is still OH board. Life boats
and tugs are trying to save the passen-
gers
| The fourth message came through
the London Office of the railway com
many. 1t was timed at the Hook al
SIS and said:
1T is impossible to reach the Berlin
tonight to save the passengers. We
will do the best we can. The poop OF
the ship is under water"
Then at 1896 came the fifth and last
message.
The Berlin is a total loss, with al
her crew ana passengers. Nobody has
been saved
No cause yet has been assigned fol
the terrible accident and it probably
| never will be known how The steamer
came to miss the channel which. al
though 500 yards wide and well buoyet
and lighted, is always difficult Of &c
cess in rough weather. 1t is conjactur.
ed that some arrangement of the en-
gines or steering gear may have rem
| dered the vessel uncomfortable. The
| captain of the Berlin had n good rec
ord Of IA years service. The list o
passengers on the fated steamer wa
lost, ana all the names Of thosr VIII,
were on board have not yet been learn
ed but so far as has been ascertainet
there were no Americans among tn
passengers.

STOCK BREEDERS
MIGHT D|sBAND

A meeting of the Hawaiian Live
stock Breeders Association has been
called to be held in this city on Mon
day, November is, at 10 a. m. When
asked for information in regard to the
matter yesterday, A. F. Judd, of the
association, said:
1.-The meeting has been called in or
der that decision may be reached in
regard to taking either action which
will end the life of the association or
which will bring it back from the
comatose condition in which it is now.
There is about $500 in the treasury, and
band, some disposition must be made
of this.
There has not been much life to
the Breeders Association since the
beef trust suits were brought last
year by U. S. District Attorney Breck-
ons. There is one more matter which
gested that a veterinary surgeon be
placed on each island to aid in the
determination of CHAMBERS and other
diseases to which stock are subject
The suggestion has come through the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry to
the Association, that part of this ex-
pense should be borne by the raisers
Of the stock to be protected, and this
matter should be discussed. 1 cannot
tell how many will be present, as A.
NJ. Brown has been in charge of the
matter and L have not taken it up
personally.

FREE LIBRARY
At STANDST|LL
Trustees Have Not Met Since
Appointment $4,000
to Be Spent.

AS yet there has been no rnovemen
toward the establishment of the Ha
waiian public circulating library, fol
which the sum of $4,000 was appro.
| priated by the last Legislature and fol
| which board of trustees was ap.
| pointed by Governor Carter. Neither
has there been any meeting called OF
| the trustees to decide on anything. Al
present there is another library move
ment on hand, which. If the Hawaiian
Library is not to be, will be pushed
ahead to completion.
The Hawaiian Library bill was an
executive measure, prepared under the
instruction of Governor Carter and en-
bodying his ideas. 1t was expected
that some arrangement could be made
with the Honolulu Library by which
the latter would step out from under,
erature and their endowment to the
government institution. 1t was further
hoped that Andrew Carnegie would see
his way clear to donate a library
building for Honolulu, something cred
liable to the city. But, so far as all
indications go, both hopes have been
disappointed,
A hitch came in with the trustees
Of the Honolulu Library even before
the bill was passed in the Legislature,
the trustees objecting to handing over
their property and endowment to an
institution in which they would have
no control. It was suggested that if
the bill could be fixed so that the old
library board could appoint some of
its members to serve on the new H.
brary board something might be done,
but the Organic Act forbade anything
of that nature going in the bill. The
board of trustees of the government
library had to be appointed by the
Governor, but the bill was drawn SO
that this board, after appointment, had
power to make any kind of bargain
it wanted to with the board of the old
library.
1t has been stated that a great deal
of the valuable library material in the |
historical section of the Honolulu Lii
brary is the property of the govern |
ment and could be taken to form the
nucleus of a new historical collection |
in the government library, while there
is also much at present fled away /
in the Archives building that could be
kept equally we'll and be of much more
public use if placed in such a library.

VOLCANO ROAD
IN BAD SHAPE
B. F. Dillingham; Suggests Plan
for Help From the
Territory.

The condition of the thirteen miles
of road between Glenwood and the Vol
cano House is a disgrace to the en-
tire Territory, according to state
ment made yesterday by B. f. Dill
| bingham, who has recently returned
from a trip to Hilo. In speaking of
the matter yesterday he said:
1.-THE road between Hilo and the Vol
| cano House is in a disgracefuI condi>
| ton and something should be done to
look after it, The worst section, per-
! haps. is that between GleHwood and
the volcano, but I believe that the
entire road should be put into first
class condition. The building of a
road around the volcano for automo-
biIes is very good, but what use is
that when the road to the volcano is
such that it is hardly safe to drive
on?
''Of course, I am interested in the
railroad to Glenwood, but for all that
1 should like to see good road run
through from HiIo to the volcano, on
which automobiles could travel easily.
They might compete with us, to be
sure, but it would make the resort
much more popular.
1.-THE road from Glenwood, as it is
now, is full of ruts and rocks and it
is enough to tire out anyone to ride
over it. This road is one in which
the entire Territory, not this city or
Hilo, the Island of Hawaii or any
other part of the Territory, has an
exclusive claim. We set forth the vol
cano as one of the chief attractions to
which we call the attention of tourists
whom we wish to come here. Why, |
then, should it not be a public mat |
ter which the Territory might take |
up and assist?
II believe that when the work on
the road around the volcano is COM
pleted the prison labor being used |
there should be turned over for work
on the other road, and put through
then by the County of Hawaii I
doubt very much if the Board of Su-
pervisors of the Island of Hawaii could
do anything which would be more ben
eficial to their island than the making
Of fine permanent piece of road from
what is now a disgrace to the is
lands"

GOVERNOR CONSIDERS
WATERFRONT PARKING

A map showing all the details of
the Honolulu harbor has been prepared
for the Governor s office and was be-
ing studied by him yesterday. The map
shows all the Territorial property along
the front, which is considerable por-
tion of the land adjoining the wharves.
1t also designates the various portions
of the waterfront now held by the
Federal government for naval and
army uses.
The Governor referred to this map
yesterday in regard to the parking of
the old fishmarket site, pointing out
how it would be possible to park a
strip of land behind all the main
wharves, extending from Fort street
to the naval station with the exception
of portion of one block, between XII
lauea and Alakea streets, now held as
naval reserve but which, in the opin-
ion of the Governor, will revert back
to the Territory.
"We also expect to regain the great
er portion of the site of the present
naval station as soon as the station is
established at Pearl Harbor," he
stated.
