New York, Jan. 25.-The snow storm which swept over the city late Thurs day developed into little blizzard during Thursday night. Friday the streets were piled deep in places with drifts and street car traffic and the movement of river craft was badly hampered. Coming suddenly on the heels of long period of unusually warm weather, the storm caught the homeless and the poorer people of the East side totally unprepared. Many who had found shelter in wagon yards for the night were driven out and there was a rush of the homeless to charitable institutions for shelter. For the first time this winter the city lodg- ing house was oyer-crowded and the covered pier of the charities depart ment at the foot of East Twenty-aixth street was turned into an emergency l lodging house. Several hundred men were given work clearing the streets of snow
 The body of a man named James | Smith, was found under stoop in East Twenty-third street into which he had crept for protection and had l frozen to death.
 In Brooklyn nearly every line of ! travel was blocked, and in some cases no attempt was made to move the cars. The long cut on the Brighton Beach line. extending the whole length | of Prospect park, was completely filled with snow. 40-minute block ade on Brooklyn bridge added much | to the discomfort and delay of the pas sengers bound for Manhattan. At Sandy Hook Friday forenoon, . northwest gale was blowing and tho swirling snow made navigation hazard 1 ous. The steamer Graf Waldersee l which reached the Hook Thursday night, was still at anchor Friday fore noon, also the Adriatic, from South 1 Hampton and the President Lincoln. l from Hamburg Other steamers due Friday include the Friedrich Der Crosse, from Genoa and the Astoria, from Glasgow.
 l Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 2s.-In Penn sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, snow, which began falling Thursday evening had Friday morning reached depth of six inches, and the storm continued through the day. A high wind prevailed. The storm is the worst in New Jersey, where railroad traffic is badly crippled.
 Telegraph, telephone and railroad
 service In southern New Jersey if
 paralized by the storm. No wire com
 munication was had with Atlantic
 City and the electric trains of the
 Pennsylvania railroad due to arrive
 from the seashore at midnight anC
 during the early morning hours, hac not reported at noon Friday owing tt
 broken wires. On the Reading rail
 way lines traffic was tied up below Winslow Junction, N. J., and the Cape

 Seashore trains on the Pennsylvania
 lines operated by steam are also tied
 up Most of the trouble is caused b,

nerary for their stay in the islands
It is beautiful spot and the ride over
the Oahu Railway line is interesting.
Nowhere in the country is there a
railroad running so close to the shore
that the sea spray moistens the cars.
This is especially the case at this
time when the wind is in a direction
that makes an exceedingly high surf

SHARK OR
OCTOPUS?

With the fearful death of a Hawaiian
named Brown, at Kaneohe, on the
windward side of this island, there
has been revived talk of great squid
or octopus which has from long ago
been thought by Hawaiians to have
it's home in coral cave near Kane
Ohe.
While torchlighting, Tuesday night,
with two other men, Brown disap-
peared after madly fourishing his
torch. The fishers were in shallow
water on the reef and the other two
ran to seek Brown to aid him at the
first signal of distress, thinking an
eel had him by the foot.
Next day the upper part Of Browns
horribly chewed body was found and
buried in the sand.
If it was not a shark that did the
work it must have been an unusually
large squid. While the evidence seems
to point to a shark having attacked
the man, there are those who never
/ theless recall fearful stories, chiefly
! legendary, of a huge devil-fish having
his haunt near the scene of Tuesday
nights tragedy

NATIONAL GUARD
SHOOTING GALLERY

Wednesday evening the National
Guard of Hawaii took possession OF
its new shooting gallery on Miller
street built by the United States War
Department. Colonel ]. w. Jones, adj
jutant general of the regiment, super
vised the initial shoot that took place.
Major Dunning, commanding at Fort
Shafter, officers of the Governors staff
and members of the Legislature were
present. Visitors were invited to sam
pie claret punch and cigars.
There is a range of fifty feet in the
gallery with fifteen targets. Paste
board targets are used with the de-
200 yards and upward in the field.
The targets are carried out to back
ings of steel plate by means of troll
leys and on being shot at with five
rounds are carried back and dropped
into the hands of the marksman, who
thus has his record in possession with
out the intervention of markers OF
scorers. Set at an agile of thirty de-
grees the steel backing defects the
bullet into the ground
There is no doubt of the appreciation
the guardsmen feel for such a conve
nience, or of the confidence of botf
officers and men that it will raise the
standard of craftsmanship in the regi
ment. Prize shooting was held in thu
gallery on Thanksgiving Day.

Honolulu, T. H., March 10, 1907.
Honorable Secretary of Treasury.
Washington, D. c.
Sir; Pursuant to a request from the
department that l select a site for a
Federal building in Honolulu, T. Fl. 1
have the honor to report that recon-
mend the purchase of a site offered by
the Henry Warehouse Trust Co., Ltd,
in the proposal from them herewith en-
closed.
The site is an ideal one in every
respect, surrounded by three of the
leading streets of the city, within less
than one hundred feet of what, by all
hands, is agreed to be the business
center of the city, with opportunities
for good architectural display, and
with the best of foundations.
1t is understood that the title will
not be presented until the opening of
Bishop street is legally accomplished,
as referred to in the proposal of the
gentlemen. the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company.
l secured reduction in price from
the bid on file, $14S,5OO to $1O4, 1875,
which I regard as very reasonable
price for the property. I enclose plat
of the property to be purchased.
AS a second choice recommend the
purchase of what is known as the
Bishop site, a proposition for the sale
of which is on file in the department.

TAYLOR'S Recommendation

The Bishop site was recommended by
Mr. Eustace when he was here, but
the one l have selected, which lies d.
rectly across King street, was not then
offered, the price asked at that time
being far in excess of the appropria-
ton since made.
l recommend that the department
allow the gentleman, the Henry Water
house Trust Co. reasonable time in
which to secure the opening of the ex-
tension of Bishop street from King to
Merchant street, in accordance with
their proposal

blue print handed me by Governor

mentions, he assures me that the site
I have chosen will be entirely salts.
