ITEM OF 100000 FOR THE BREAK
WATER MADE CONDITIONAL ON
APPROVAL OF ARMY ENGINEER

Governor Carter is in receipt Of a
letter from william Loeb private secre-
tary to President Roosevelt, relative to
the status Of the proposed appropria-
tion for the Hilo breakwater. Secre-
tary Loeb included a letter that he had
received from General c. II. Edwards,
relative to the matter. General Ed
wards quoted from the Congressional
Record Of January 81 in which Chair
man Burton Of the Rivers and Harbor
Committee spoke as follows relative
TO the Hllo item:
For the Hawaiian Islands at Hilo
harbor 100000 is appropriated and
authorized. Here a breakwater to aid
and give safe entrance to the only
harbor on the most important or at
least the most fertile and productive
OF the Hawaiian Islands was examined
and reported at cost OF $1,7OO,O0. The
committee did not think best TO recon-
mend all OF this amount which It is
thought viii give substantial relief 10
traffic, fixing a condition that none OF
the amount Is 10 be expended, unless
on further examination II meets the
approval Of the chief Of engineers"

Thinks The
Cable Was
incorrect
EDITOR sHIOzAWA DOES NOT
THINK ASSOCIATED PRESS HAD
CORRECT NEWS

There are two interpretations ad-
yanced by Editor Shiozawa Of the Ha-
wall ShinpO Sha Of the cablegram by
the Associated Press this morning
one Is 10 the effect that the statement
Us false and the other is that there Is
an understanding existing between
Japan and the United states that
new treaty IL to be drawn up provided
that Congress passes an exclusion law
against the Japanese coolies. Such a
matter Will not, In the opinion Of Shi-
ozawa go 10 Congress until Japan has
agreed to IT,.
II do not think" said Editor Shloza-
wa, that such law will be conceded
10 by Japan, as / have stated before
Still there may be an understanding
existing to the effect that the United
9tates will grant all demands Of Japan
I'm regard 10 the Japanese school chill
dren provided that Japan consents to
the exclusion from the mainland OF
Japanese coolies.
such a matter could not go to Con-
Rress IN my opinion until after the Jap
anose Government had drawn up a ne"
treaty and consented 10 such thing
Should such a law be passed without
consulting the japanese authorities,
cannot foretell the result

TWO MORE
STEAMERS TO COME
AMERICAN-HAWAIIAN STEAMSHIP
COMPANY TO ADD TO ITS
FLEET.

&c. =. Morse general freight agent In
Honolulu for the American Hawaiian
cable says that two new boats Will be
added TO the Pacific system Of the line
The steamers are the Maine and the
Missouri sister vessels Of the size Of
the Texan, each able to carry aboht
10000 tons. They are new steamers,
built in 1902 and 1903 and have fifty per
cent. more horsepower than the Texan.
They have been bought by the com
pany which will have eleven steamers
on the Pacific triangular route-from
Sanila Cruz 10 san Francisco thence
to Honolulu and back to Salina Cruz.
The Missouri vii sail from New York
tomorrow for San Francisco.
There Is a possibility that the Maine
may remain on the Atlantic coast. The
Missouri is loading at present and Is
due here In about go days. The COM
pany expects to maintain 10 days
schedule.

government at the expiration of this
contract The undersigned would, row
ever, stipulate that in case of actual
invasion as above contemplated, that
the above sum be previously paid TO

The undersigned would further wish

vasion, but at no other time.
II is necessary to remind your hon

the nation,
Hoping that your honorable body Will
give this petition the consideration due
to it, your petitioner will then ever

CAN NOT AGREE
OVER RANGE SITE
CAPT. OTWELL INSISTENT OVER
LOCATION BUT TERRITORY WILL
NOT CONCEDE DEMANDS.

The matter Of the dispute over the
site for the front range beacon to the
harbor entrancse, Is stlll at a stand
still. Captain Otwell the engineering
officer wrote an extended communlca-
tion TO Governor Carter urging in
favor Of the site desired by his success
sor, Captain Slattery.
Neither superintendent Of Fub1c
Works Holloway nor Governor Carter
are disposed to accede to the request
made by the lighthouse authorities.
They consider that the interests OF the
territory would not be properly pro-
tected, II the site that is de-
sired was given. 1t is proposed by the
army men TO put the beacon in the road.
The situation seems no nearer solution,
than II was months ago.

PLANNED TO REPEL
AMERICAN FILIBUSTERERS
PETITIONED LEGISLATURE
EVIDENTLY WANTED TO BE COMMANDER OF
ARNIY-HE TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR


r. Metcalf ought to be living I'm Ho-
nolulu now. This IS the time for him,
for he lived before his time as the fol-
lowing petition that he presented to
the Hawaiian legislature in 1855 will
demonstrate.
But times have changed since 1855.
In those days, according to the petit
tlon of Metcalf, the Americans were
feared, now the Japanese are the caus-
ing alarm. His petition, which was
laid on the table, was found recently
by r. c. Lydecker in the archives and
reads as follows:
To the Honorable House OF Repre-
sentatives of the Hawal1an Islands I'm
Legislative counsel assembled.
The undersigned, a resident of the
Island of oahu and a loyal subject OF
his Majesty the King, asks the serious
consideration of your Honorable Body
towards the following proposition, viz
That your petitioner Is willing to en-
ter into a contract win the proper
authorities OF this government, pledg-
ing himself by giving ample securit'
to the amount Of sixty thousand dol
lars (and more II required) to expeI

House Of Representatives., L.. S.
Washington, ID c.. January 30, 1907
EDITOR STAR. The success Of our
work In securing Federal appropriu-
tions for Hawaii has been ON an in
creasing scale for the past three years;
and we are already practically assured
that the present year although only
the short session Of Congress, win be
the best of the three in the matter Of
appropriations, and viii bring us a
total of approximately $1,OOOOOO.
To this large sum, had hoped also
to add the passage Of the refunding bill
but Speaker Cannon Is apparently inn
movable i'm his determination that while
Hawaii should be taken care of, Il
should be done through the channel
of regular appropriation bills, and not
by segregating a part OF her revenues
into a distinct fund.
IT now appears certain that the total
of appropriations for Hawaii this year
viii exceed the sum that would have
been available under the terms Of the
refuudlng bill, and certainly our terri
tory must say that it has had liberal
treatment this year. The fight made
for the rcfunding bill has been well
worth while, whether or not we secure
It's passage at this or following Con-
gress.
The general course of the fight for
harbor appropriations is already known
to your readers 1t is a matter Of great
satisfaction to me that we We're able
to secure a very substantial beginning

Ndmg for all the enlargement needed
at present for Honolulu harbor.
The sum provided for Honolulu alone
is over 20 per cent greater than the
amount given to Oakland harbor. and
viii provide for the dredging to a 30
foot depth ON both Lighthouse point and
that part of the upper harbor now held
by private owners but under option 20
be conveyed to the Government for onp
dollar upon the dredging Of the same.
Members of Congress say it is a great
victory to get so large a sum for Ha-
waiian harbors. The fight for the Hilo
breakwater was especially difficult be-
cause the report was very late I'm ar
rivng, was adversely endorsed by Col.
Heuer OF san Francisco and was pro-
uounced incomplete by the House Com
mittec; because Of this lack of COM
pletcness a condition has been attached
to the Hilo item requiring the Chief OF
Engineers to make further investiga-
tiou before proceeding with the work,
and authorizing relocation Of the
shore end of the breakwater.
My secretary has had these matters
IN hand since November last and has
been i'm constant touch with the River
and Harbor Board, with General Mac
kenzie and with the House and Senate
committees. Mr.. Thurston also rem
dered invaluable aid inn the work for
