THE TROUBLE AT MACAO.

HONGKONG, November 18.-Late
advices from Macao say the Chinese
continue to insist that Portugal has
practically made a renunciation of
sovereignty, and have raised the Chi
nese flag over the colony A report
from Lisbon that the Portuguese Gov
ernment had decided to send warsbip
to Macao is not given credence bv the
Chinese, who claim that only the gun
boat Patria is coming. 1t is probable
that the matter will be made a sub-
ject of conference between the Chinese
and Portuguese authorities. The ma
tlves are said to be ready for an ont
break against the Portuguese, and in
their attitude they are being support
ed, it is declared, by the Chinese Off
elals. When the japanese steamer
Tatsu Maru was seized some months
ago off Macao by the Chinese vicerov
on the charge of conveying arms to
the Chinese rebels, Portugal, in order
to avoid the responsibility of inter.
Nenlng, claimed that the seizure was
made in Chinese waters. This ac-
knowledgment to the Chinese Cavern.
ment is viewed as renunciation hv
Portugal of the territory.

| were blended. Supervisors Harvey and
Cox decided that it was not in the
power of the county to pay an unau
thorized salary of sixty per, but agreed
to compromise on one of forty per.
The discussion back and forth last
ed for over half an hour, Archer max
ing a series of motions on his views
without getting any of them seconded.
Townsend, eventually, was voted $40
for what he had done before December
/, and was formally appointed inter
prefer at the stipulated salary of sixty
dollars, which ought to pay him for
what he has done in the past three
months for the County Attorney, which
is another story.
The reading of two communications,
one from Koolau Chinese and another
from Waialua Hawaiians, showed the
board the patent folly of going ahead
on verbal agreements instead of secur-
ing signatures in making road building
arrangements. From the San See Tai
company: of Kailua, Koolaupoko, rice
planters, came proposition to lease
the county right of-way for the road
being built to the Hawaiian Copra Com
pany's plantation for $3.50. The road
is now built up to the Chinese COM
pany's boundary and had been built
that far on the understanding that the
Chinese would themselves, without cost
to the county, build the road across
their land and put in necessary bridge.
This agreement was made at a confer
ence between the County Engineer, AL
bert Waterhouse and the Chinese. In
this instance the copra company went
good for the Chinese and sent a letter
to the county agreeing to hold itself
for the building of the road
This matter was referred to the ~Coun-
ty Attorney. 70
Waialua, where the county has begun
to cut necessary ditch through private
property. County Engineer Gere ex-
planned that he had a conference with
the owners and they ageed to the ditch
being cut, it being necessary to save
the road and their property from being
flooded in the wet seasons. Now, how
ever, they are threatening to bring suit
for damages and the county has no writ
ten record for the agreement. The
County Attorney will also look into
this.
The Inter-Island S. N Company ap.
piled for a thirty-year license to oper-
ate their Bishop slip coal loader and
agreed to file bond releasing the coun-
ty from all liability in case of acci-
dents arising from the operation of the
loader. The application and bond went
to the County Attorney for scrutiny.

CHRISTIANS To
LOCATE ANEW
AIakea Street to Be Abandoned
for Site in makiki
Suburb.

The congregation of the Christian
church last night ratified the action
of the official board, which recommend
ed that the present church site on
Alakea street be abandoned, and that
the property owned by the church at
the makaiEwa corner of Beretania
avenue and Keeaumoku street be uti-
lized for new church building.
The pastor and congregation have
felt for some time that the present site
on Alakea street, near King, was un-
suitable owing to the noise of passing
street cars, automobiles and carriages,
and many other annoyances besides. In
addition to this feature, there was felt
the need of transferring the church to
some location in the residence section
of the city where it would be in a
position TO draw upon the white popu-
lation for more adult members and
Sunday school attendants.
About five years ago the property at
the corner of Beretania avenue and
he0aumOku street. WAS dCQu
through a fund which was subscribed
to by the congregation, the money
later on being invested in this proper
ty. It has lain idle all these years,
but with the building up Of the neigh
borhOOd and improvement of streets,
and the fact that it is now the center
of a halfmile radius of white popu-
lation, the location appeals to the pas
tor, board and congregation as an ideal
place for a church home.
At last night IS meeting, which was
opened with the singing of hymns and
the offering of many prayers, William
Hopper of the official board assumed
the chair and spoke of the reason Of
the call for the meeting. He stated
that at the last meeting of the joint
board it was decided that it would be
advisable to move from Alakea street.
He said the locality for church work
had outlived it's usefulness in that re-
gard, being now in a business locality.
The church being situated SO close to
the car lines, garages, etc., made 1t
collect all the noises originating on
the street. so that at times it was i'm
possible to hear what vas being said
In the pup1t'
There was very little discussion over
The question of moving, it being gener-
ally conceded that the change should |
be made. The vote showed unani- |
nous ratification of the board s ac-
ion.
Then came the question as to where
the new church building should be To-
lated. Both Pastor McKeever and Mr.
Hopper explained how the church came
nto possession of the Beretania and
xeeaumoku property, and expressed
themselves in favor of it for the new
;ite. Mr.. Hopper said he had also
aiken a map and with the corner as
center had gathered statistics, as to
esidents, half mile each way from
he center, and figured up large total

standpoint.

that this contingency was remote. Mr..
Hopper said the lot was 90x136 feet.
If the plans of Pastor McKeever are
carried out, the new building may have
a roof garden for open-air meetings,
similar to one of the churches in Ma
Mia.
