Writing from one of the great fam.

emaciated that the ribs literally pro

Telephone communication from n
train running 35 miles an hour on a
line out of Madison, Ind, was had
with Louisville, Cincinnati and In

TO be sufficiently reliable to warrant

would put the train crew in constant

sent word to the different schools of

| Within four months at the longest
| the work Of extending the improve
ment of Honolulu harbor will be COM
menced, bids for the dredging of some
thing over three hundred and fiftv
thousand yards having been opened at
the office of the U. s. Army Engineer
yesterday at noon and being ready
now to submit TO the Department at
Washington along with the recommen-

The next lowest bid was that of the
San Francisco Bridge Company, s1.1S
a yard, the other bids being those of
the North American Dredging Com
pany, S1.27 and Cotton Bros, s144.

RIOT BREAKS UP
MEETING Of SEE YUPS

The blowing of a couple of police
whistles, the racket of chairs going
over and the excited ki-yi-ing of a
couple of hundred Cinnamon was the
announcement to the Palama public
last night that Chinese society was
debating. The debate took a lively turn
when the treasurer Informed the pres
ident that he was a thief, and in less
than a minute there We're various knots
of Chinks about the floor trying to
pound reason into other Chinks. This
was at the See Yup society hall, on
King street, near Liliha, and the af-
fair assumed the proportions of a small
riot before the police reserves arrived
and cleared the hall.
The society members had been called
to consider the matter of acquiring a
piece of property on River street, drifts
ing at last to the fact that some
brother had appropriated some boards
belonging to the order, the president
being pointed out as the man. For the
good of the order See Hip then

work in the third degree, and the

gle hold on the nearest fighter, where
upon he got the biggest part of fancy

PLENTY OF ROCK

from Hilo, where, in company with
Engineer Burbank, the whole details
of the work to be done was gone over
on the grounds. The trip was, in fact,
that Mr.. Burbank might become IA
miliar with the situation, as he will
be more or less in charge of it when
the work is actually under way.
The situation is now just about
where it has been for some time," said
Captain Otwell, the only change being
that have satisfied myself that there
is not only good rock to be found for
the work, but plenty of it and in sew
eral places. The most convenient place
for the establishment of the quarry
will be, / think, in Puma, where the
ledge is exposed and in workable

ARCHIVES GET PR|VY
COUNCIL RECORDS

Governor Frear yesterday directed

Council from the office of the Land
Commissioner to the Territorial Arch.
ives. The transfer is made at the re-
quest of the Board of Archives.
These records cover the period from
1S45 to 1872, and deal with a great
variety of matters, many of them of
the most trivial character, and others
of the greatest Importance and mo-
ment to the kingdom.
They begin before the Great Division
of the land, before the creation of the
Land Commission, and before the ex-
istence of what would now be consfd-
cred constitutional government.
They have been kept in the Land
Office, because they are the NUM-
ments and record of title to much land
in the islands. All titles to land, or
nearly all, which date before the
Grand Division and the establishment
of the Land Commission, the Privy
Council seems to have had a great
deal TO do with land titles and much
to do with the disposition of lands.
Before the records are transferred,
copies of such as deal with land titles
are to be made and retained in the
Land Office.
The records Of the Privy Council will
form a very important addition to the
Archives of the Territory, as they con-
tain very much valuable historical
material.

HILO, September Cat their second
days session the Supervisors of the

policy of hampering the police force
by refusing to allow Sheriff Keolanui

would cost. This means a delay of a
month before he can report to the next
meeting and then a delay of probably
two weeks before they can be secured.
In the meantime prisoners may escape

sheriff had to wait for more than a
month before he was allowed to offer
a reward for the man 8 capture.
