Will STOP WORK ON
FRONT RANGE LIGHT
Opposition To Site For
Rear Beacon Cause
Of Delay

Work on the front range light for
Honolulu harbor will be stopped this
week. Captain Otwell, the Govern
ment engineer, stated this morning
that he is obliged to take this action
on account OF the opposition to his
choice of a site for the rear range
light. The work on the front range
light has now gone ahead as far as 1t
can be carried until the site for the
other light is definitely settled upon.
The work has not progressed very
far toward completion, only part OF
the foundation being in. This founda-
tion as planned by Captain Otwell con-
sists of "a wooden cylinders sunk TO
the rock ledge and filled with concrete.
Eight of them are now in place, but
the position of the hersdepends up
on where the rear range light is to be
located
1t may be necessary, Captain Of
well states, to turn the front range
light around at right angles from the
way it was planned to have it face.
After the "a cylinders are in posi-
ton, which will constitute about half
of the light, the concrete block upper
structure will be built up on them.
1t is impossible, of course, to say
how long the work will be delayed. 1t
all depends upon how long it takes
to get final decision as to the posi-
tion of the rear range light.

GOVERNOR AND
UNION FEED CD.
Figure In Future Of
Federal Building
Location

The directors of the Union Feed
Company seem to be the biggest fac
tors in the public building site busi-
ness just at present.
The Commission appointed by the
Governor to determine whether it is
possible to have Bishop street extend
ed to the waterfront is expected to
make its formal report today. That
report will be to the effect that not all
those interested in the right of way
have acted and consequently the Board
cannot report positively on the FEAST
bility of the extension.
The directors of the Union Feed
company, who control the Edinbor-
|ough property, will meet tomorrow.
AS soon as the Commission reports, it
will be up to the Acting Governor to
decide whether he will grant an eX-
tension of time for the Mahuka site
people to make good on Bishop street
extension.
Meanwhile it appears probable that
the Opera House site is being consid-
cred very favorably as the second
choice

TAX APPEALS
ARE UP
BEFORE COURT

The Tax Appeal Commission met
this afternoon at 1880 O'Clock to list
en- to the arguments on the first ap-
peals set for hearing. There were
three cases up, two of which were
combined These two were the ap-
peals from the assessment of certain
property on Merchant street near
Nuuanu, belonging to the two appli-
cants jointly. This property was as
scssed at $31, 900, while the returns
made by the owners were $500
each, or a total of $4,000. The
owners are the Bishop Museum and
the estate of J. w. Weber, who were
represented before the court hy w.
r. Castle.
Castle contended that as the prop
erty brings in an annual rental of
only $3.50, it could not be worth
$31,00 to its owners, although he
would admit that the property is
really worth $4,000.

1900 JAPANESE
WANT TO
LEAVE In KUMERIC

Il see that it is reported that the
Japanese who are backing the char
ter of the Kumeric to take laborers
tc Vancouver will lose on the propo-
sition,' said Chas. f. Chillingworth,
who is acting as attorney for the hui
this noon. Also that they will not
get nearly enough passengers to fill
the ships accommodations Nothing
could be further from the truth. AS
It matter of fact, more Japanese have
applied for passage by the Kumeric
than the vessel can possibly accom-
modate.
There have so far been 1850
such applications and there will be
room for only thousand passengers,
and the rest will have to be turned
down. The town is simply filled with
Japanese who want to get away from
here and who have been waiting for
some time past for chance to get
passage

RO$ER|[[ SAYS He
Will SAIL SHARK
Is Much Interested In
London And His
Cruise

Captain Andrew Rosehill has decid-
ed to accept the offer made him by
Jack London to accompany him on his
cruise around the world as the Sail
ing master of the Shark.
"Of course / want to have look at
the boat first, said Rosehill this
morning. Il am going down to Pearl
Harbor to see her tomorrow, but you
can say pretty safely that | am going.
l have been reading up about the
Shark and studying up about her for
over two months. and | shall be glad
to sail with fellow like London, fol
] think that he is the right sort.
You may be sure that you will hear
of me after | am gone continued tho
old mariner. Il have been all through
the South Seas and have been in the
labor trade as we'll as trading, and
can tell lot of things about these
matters that would surprise you, so IL
Mr.. London cares to put some of that
stuff in his books ! can give him the
facts"
Captain Rosehill is known not only
to local fame. AS the King of Marcus
Island, a small island in the Pacific
which he discovered and claimed for
the United States many years ago, hd
became entitled to a place in the AL
manach de Gotha. He attracted con-
siderable attention a couple of years
ago when he led an expedition to the
island and was chased away from it by
a force of japanese marines. Since
then Rosehill's claim TO the island and
the rich guano deposits which are sit
uated thereon, has been reposing IN
the pigeonholes of the State Depart
ment at Washington, but his fame
still lives, and his connection with
London can but add to it.

FOrti6CatiOn Work
About Honolulu
Will Be Begun Soon

The plans for the fortification OF the
Island of Oahu, prepared by Captain
Otwell, have been forwarded by him to
Washington and he expects a decision
on them within a short time The
plans are very complete, covering all
the work that it is probable will be
undertaken for some years to come
and include both the fortification OF
Pearl Harbor a'&l of Diamond Head.
Punchbowl and the Pail.
1t cannot, of course, be stated how
soon work will actually be COM
menced, but Captain Otwell is already
collecting his plant and it appears
probable that the fortification of Oahu
will not be greatly delayed. Captain
Otwell hopes to be able to make the
dirt fly" within a short time.
The first work will probably be done
on Diamond Head. This, it is expect
ed will take about two years. BY the
expiration of that time the big guna
that are to guard the safety of Homo
lulu will be frowning down over the
waters of the sea and harbor, a menace
to any rash fleet that might take no.
ton to come wandering about this
vicinity.
After the fortification of Diamond
Head is completed and the engineers
engaged in this most important work
get through, the Quartermaster's De-
partment will take charge of opera
tions and commence the erection of
a post for the garrison that is to man
the guns. 1t lis estimated that 1000
the guns. But this is not to be the
strength of the garrison of Oahu. 1t
is probable that not less than 300G men
will be stationed here. Captain Otwell
has already expressed the belief that
this island should be strongly garri-
soned, and he thinks that there should
be a large force of infantry and some
cavalry here, as well as the artillery.
