a small piece of the explosive
stuff somewhere around the

home and were exhibiting it to
their mother, when she, not
knowing it was dangerous. tried
to ignite it with match; failing
in that, she lifted the lid of the
stove and threw it into the fire.

INCUBUS Of OLD
CONTRACT RAISED
The Whiteh0use Contract for
the Dam Is at an
End.

The vexed Nuuanu dam problem is
settled. A final agreement between
the department of Public Works and
contractor L. NJ. Whitehouse was
signed at half past twelve o'clock yes
terday
The basis of the agreement is that
the present contract, which seems to
have been the hotbed Of most of the
Nuuanu dam troubles, is brought to
an end, it is abrogated. The contractor
is to receive the twenty per cent. re-
serve on work done, and certain other
specified sums for work to be done be-
fore the end of this month: he is given
certain allowances for the fifteen per
cent. extra charges, and for tools, and
he is charged for lumber not in place.
All other claims either party may have
against the other are released.
All work is to cease on the dam un-
der the present contract on October
81 1907 Thereafter the dam will be
completed under the direction of the
Department of Public Works, either
under new contract, for which new
specifications will be prepared, or di-
rectly by the department and it's own
employees.
Governor F'rear was unquestionably
pleased when the final signatures to
the agreement were affixed The ter
mination of the old contract, which
has been the source Of SO much an
noyance and so many controversies,
now leaves his administration per-
fect1y free hand in the disbursement of
the appropriation made by the last
legislature for the completion Of the
dam. 1t puts the administration, so
far as the work yet to be done is con-
cerned, in the same position that II
would be If this were the beginning
instead of the end of a great public
work. it is no longer embarrassed with
any legacy of contention, or contro-
versy, or useless expense.
Governor Frear in speaking about
the settlement of the matter seemed

CIVIC FEDS ARE

Deal by Unanimous
Vote.

At the meeting of the Give Feder-

Fishmarket site and of the Queen

ing the amount of interest taken in
the questions which were to be dis.
cussed, and when a vote was called
for, on both questions. those present
were unanimous, not single opposing
vote being recorded.
President A. F. Griffiths presided
and in a few words told of the pur.
pose of the meeting, then calling for
the reading of the report of the COM
mittee which had been appointed to
Investigate. Ralph S. Hosmer read
both reports, the Fishmarket matter
being first disposed of.
The report, which is too lengthy for
this edition of the Advertiser went
carefully into all phases of the matter
and ended with the following words:
Nothing should be done to cause
the withdrawal of such a line OF
steamers as the Pacific Mail, but the
committee does not believe that the
Pacific Mail, if it continues it's line
TO the Orient, will pass by Honolulu.
The very fact that it applies for the
purchase of a valuable piece of prop
erty near the harbor is strong evil
dence that it is in the business to
stay.
1.-The committee recommends that
the old Fishmarket site be not sold
and that steps be taken to secure its
definite reservation for public use.

SOLDIERS THREE
STOLE WHOLE HACK

Three soldiers from Fort Shafter
took a Wild ride last night in a stolen
hack, ieserting the vehicle near the
oil tanks in Iwilei when hard pressed
by pu,s suers and taking to the bushes.
The hack, number 143. had been left
standing before one Of the houses In
upper Kalihi road, the driver having
his supper. When he came out his
rig was gone. He got track Of 1t,
however. and learned also that three
soldiers were the occupants, one act
ing as driver for the other two. En-
listing the services of another hack
he took I'D the pursuit, finally locating
his rig and the occupants on the Iwi-
lei driveway. The soldiers saw him
coming also and whipped up for
couple of blocks, finally jumping out
and letting the rig go. After the horse
had been stopped it was found that
the soldiers had altered the hack
number from 143 to IA by scratching
out the figure on both lamps. The
poIice were watching along King street
early this morning, expecting to nab
the soldiers on their way back to the
fort,

Jured at the hospital Fifteen bodies
are at the morgue. Of the total 70
dead or missing 16 are skilled Ameri-
can mechanics. Some bodies can be
seen below the surface, tightly wedged
In the mass of steel.
The terrific height of the great steel
structure from 1870 feet above the sur
face of the river crushed the bodies
of many of the workmen in a fright
full manner, and it is feared many will
never be found.
Many of the dead were Americans
brought here by the Phoenix Bridge
company of Phoenixville, Pa. which
had the contract for the ironwork on
the bridge.
Rowboats were sent out to examine
the superstructure showing above the
water near the shore, to ascertain if
any OF the workmen were imprisoned
IN the twisted ironwork. None were
found alive.
Just below the surface of the water
two bodies were seen, but it will/be
impossible to reach them until the tide
goes out.
Both the local and dominion authori
ties have taken steps to investigate
the cause of the disaster, and if posi-
Bile to fix the responsibility.
Some of the workmen expressed the
belief that the pier gave way under the
tremendous strain of the overhanging
work M. P. Davis of Ottawa, the con-
tractor who built the piers, made a
hasty examination last night, however.
and reported them to be in good con-

A locomotive and several freight
cars loaded with steel Orders were
moving out on the bridge just before
the structure collapsed. Engineer Jess
went into the river with his engine,
but was picked up 800 feet below the
bridge. Fireman Davis perished.
Engineer Jess was removed to Lewis
Hospital, were he rapidly recovered
from the effects of his plunge into the
river.
According to his story, the steel
work overhanging the river was the
first to show signs of weakness. At
the first signs of danger Jess shut off
the steam, but his locomotive con-
tinued to move toward the end of the
bridge, which had begun to toter and
moment later the engine went into

aries in either party. 1t is undeniable
that this element is striving to com
pei the republican party in its next
platform to recede from the advanced
position which has been occupied by
President Roosevelt. Democrats Of
the same stripe are anxious to over
turn the policies of Mr.. Bryan, and
1t seems to be foregone conclusion
that both attempts will fail
The democrats of the nation, ac-
cording to discerning men at Wash
lngton, are not in sympathy with those
who would control the party as it
was controlled in 1904, and it would
be as easy to renominate Alton B.
Parker almost as to nominate any
democratic candidate who would be
suspected of recession from the BRYAN
program. Hence it will be necessary
only for the radicals of the party to
say, for instance, Roger Sullican of
Illinois supports this man; August
Belmont or Thomas Ryan Of New
York support that man, to defeat
other candidates for the presidential
nomination.
Mr.. Bryan is master of the demo-
cratic situation, purely by force of his
championship of the interest of the
masses. The same causes operate to
make Mr. Roosevelt the controller of
republican destines. The people sus-
pect any man who antagonizes him,
and so far as present indications go,
it will be necessary only for him to
evince his pleasure to defeat a candi-
date not to his liking.
Vice President Fairbanks boom is
dead one Joe Cannon cannot knock
the persimmons. The unknown guam
titles in the republican party are La
Toilette of Wisconsin and Hughes of
New York. Foraker is a. forgotten
quantity, and Taft, although backed
by the president, has a divided state
back of him. Mr.. Roosevelt can have
the nomination for the asking. When

carried to it's logical conclusion, two
men remain-President Roosevelt and
William ]. Bryan, and these men hold
within their hands the power to die
tate results.
Back of all anti-conveitno specula-
ton, however, is the crushing fact
that the cost of living is advancing,
and that will be the dominating, ele-
ment in determining results in 1908.
AS though prices were not already
high enough, the country is now told
that the enforcement of the prue food
law will still further advance prices,
and there is nothing in sight to afford
relief except the indefinable hope that
the radicals or one or other of the
two great parties will inaugurate
measures to crush out the trusts.

MooRs ARE BEATEN IN BATTLE
Plan to Stampede French Troops Al
most Successful.

Casa Blanca, Sept. During the
fighting between the French forces
and Moors near the French camp the
Moors at first retreated, and it was
thought that the engagement was
over, when suddenly the enemy reap
peared in great force in two direc-
tions. The Algerian cavalry found
themselves almost surrounded, but
formed a square and slowly fell back
until reinforced. In the meanwhile
the French ships showered shells
among the hills, scattering the
enemy.
The engagement lasted three hours.
The line of battle extended over two
miles, and it is estimated that about
10000 Moors were engaged. The loss
of the latter is not known, but it is
believed to have been heavy, as the
French officers counted the bodies of
20 Moors in one roadway. The French
loss was Is killed.
