MONUMENT To
HAWAIIAN
CHIEFS
Is to Be Erected on
the Mausoleum
Grounds.

A mortuary monument of stately
proportions, and of art and architec-
tural beauty, will shortly rise on the
Mausoleum grounds in Nuuanu valley
TO mark the resting place of Soyereigns
and High Chiefs of Hawaii.
Tentative plans and designs are now
being prepared for submission to
Queen LllnokalanI, who, by the act
of the legislature providing for this
memorial, Is given joint direction and
supervision with the Superintendent of
Public Works, in its design and prep.
aration.
The last legislature by Act 1O7 ap.
propriated $4,000 for such memorial
monument. The preamble of the act
is as follows:
"Whereas, The remains of certain
of the Sovereigns and High Chiefs or
Hawaii now in the Royal Mausoleum
at Mauna Ala in the City of Honolulu
should be protected by being deposited
in an appropriate and properly. secured
tomb or vault; and
sFWhereas, A suitable monument
should be erected over such tomb or
vault" and is followed by the direct
appropriation of $4,000 out of all
moneys coming into the treasury, to de-
fray the expenses of preparing such a
tomb or vault and the erection of such
a monument.
The act then concludes. EtThe prep
aration of srch tomb or vault and the
monument shall be under the joint di>
rection and supervision of ex-Queen Lii
Iuokalani, and the Superintendent of
Public Works of the Territory
It is the desire of Superintendent
of Public Works Marston Campbell
that this tomb and monument shall be
in architectural dignity and in memo
rial art worthy of the purpose for
which the appropriation was made and
the sentiment that prompted it. For
this reason serious study is being given
to the matter, and in all respects it is
desired to consult the Queen 5 sug-
gestions and desires.
AS the appropriation provides for
tomb orr vault and the erection of a
suitable monument over it, the suggest
ton has been made that the present
Mausoleum might be most suitably
transformed into a chapel in connec-
tion with the tomb and monument.

GAMBLING JOINTS REOPEN.

10 SUN LEAVES
ON THE KOREA
FOR FAR EAST
Man Who Established the Legal Fact That an
Editor Is Not Laborer Is too Radical in
His Journalism and Must Go.

Lo Sun, who established as legal
fact that an editor is not laborer, no
matter how hard he works, will leave
by the Korea for Japan, or If not by
the Korea then by another early
steamer
Lo Sum- connection with the Man
Sang Vat Po as editor or editorial
writer has terminated. He has written
a number of things for the paper dur
ing the past few months which the
management did not approve, and the
final straw came last Saturday on the
Emperor S birthday. In that issue APP
peared an article, which, it is said, was
to the general effect that the Emperor
of China is usurper who ought to
be bundled off beyond the Great Wall
and sent about his business; and that
every Chinese who called at the con
sulate on the Emperor s birthday there
by showed himself a slave Other
things were said also not aattering to
either the Emperor or the Emperor s
officials or his loyal subjects
Many of the leading Chinese who
have a financial interest in the Man
Sang Vat Po, which is daily paper
published in Chinese, strongly disap-
proved of such violent language.
His Chinese Majesty's Consul. Tseng
Hal, also disapproved of it, and it is
said took legal counsel to find out if
there was not some law by which editor
or paper could be suppressed for such
contumelious language in regard to the
Emperor-language tending to create
strife and disorder in the Chinese COM
munity.

The management of the Man Sang
Vat Pc acted first. They terminated
Lo Sun 5 connection with the paper. His
connection had been somewhat slight
for some time, because the state of his
health did not permit him to give the
time and service required of the editor
of the paper. But he contributed edi-
toriais and other work as his health and
strength permitted.
Lo Sun arose to some notoriety a few
months ago by reason of the fact that
he was arrested and proceedings for de-
portation were commenced against him.
He came to the Islands year or more
ago as member of the exempt classes,
being brought here to teach Chinese in
a school maintained by the Hawaiian
Board. His employment as teacher
ceased some time ago, and he became
editor of, or writer on, the Man Sang
Vat Pc. The proceedings for his de-
portation We're begun on the theory
that an editor was a laborer, and there
fore not member of the exempt classes.
The case aroused a good deal of in
terest, and funds were raised for his
defense. About this time Minister WI
passed through here on his way to
Washington. and the matter was pre-
sented to him by the local Chinese.
Minister Wu interested himself, and
soon after he got to Washington in
structions were received from there to
discontinue the deportation proceedings
against Lo Sun. :.
1T was a matter of regret to many of
those connected with the Man Sang Vat
Po that soon after that there appeared
IN the columns of that paper an article
in which Chinese officials were indis-
criminatelv elassed as the servile tools
of a usurper

COMPROMISE AGREEMENT

Tony Along has signed and executed
the compromise agreement which was

attempt to carry on the proceeding his
failure at that time to sign the com.

grounds upon which she claimed the

doesn't matter. The point is, that
