Another use has been suggested for
the old fishmarket pavilion on the
waterfront, known generally for the
past few days, since the Mardi Gras
decorators have been at work trans
forming its interior into a ball room,
as the Crystal Palace. Those who are
advancing claims on the structure
now are the members of the National
Guard. who want the place for a drill
shed, and it is understood that those
back of this latest announced move
ment have already presented their
claims to the Governor and to the
superintendent of Public Works and
Engineers and builders who have
been consulted state that it will be
possible to remove a number of the
central pillars without weakening the
structure, and this would allow space
for a full battalion drill, something
that can not be had at present in the
drill shed. The size of the building,
too, would allow plenty of room for
company rooms, for the quartermas-
ter's supplies to be stored and for Of
f1cers' quarters, doing away with the
present necessity of storing much of
the National Guard munitions and
supplies in the bungalow.
According to orders from Washing
ton, the regiment has to be recruited
up to full strength without any delay,
which means that four new companies
are to be started in Honolulu. These
can not be accommodated in the pres
ert drill shed, which can not, in
fact, even accommodate the present
strength of the regiment, one COM
pany, the hospital corps, being already
located in the bungalow. 1t is the
hope of the officers, too, to be able
to establish an engineers corps within
a short while, which will also require
room.
The matter of turning the fshmar-
ket into a drill shed is being pushed
just now because of the fact that if
possible some decision should be ar
rived at before work is begun on the
shed authorized from
Washington. If the drill shed is to be
on the waterfront, the rifle gallery
ought to be there too.
The reasons for the advantages of
their scheme being urged by those
back of it, in addition to thet of re-
quiring the extra room, is that the
new location is away from dwelling
houses and churches and in a place
where the bugling and drilling can
not disturb anyone, while the locating
of the rifle gallery there would meet
the objections raised by the members
of the Methodist church against the
noise of the guns.

SECRE TARY Of WAR TELLS
COUNTRY To PREPARE

BUFFALO February 22.-William H.
Taft, secretary of war, was the guest
of honor at the Ellicott clubs thir-
teenth anniversary celebration of
washington's birthday today. In his
address Taft had a word to say as to
the nations unpreparedness for war.
washington deemed the preparation
of the nation for war as of high i'm
portance," he said. Our humiliating
experience with reference to our army
in the war of 1872 and the immense
losses which we suffered in the civil
war for lack of preparation show that
in this respect. at least, We have rot
followed the advice of the first presi-
dent. We are, however, making our

There is grave danger of the town
having to knuckle down and do its own
washing.
The Chinese washmen, to the number
of 120, went on strike yesterday and
up to late hour last night had shown
no intention of returning to the labo-
rious but worthy hanahana of the tub.
The emergency was met yesterday by
the ironing men nobly piling into the
breach and sending half their number to
man the deserted wash houses.
There was talk last night of the IRON
ing men striking also and should this
come to pass the town will be up
against it, or at least that portion of the
community which patronizes Chinese
cheap labor, for something clean to
wear.

(Iail Special to the Advertiser)
WASHINGTON, Cd. CD February
20.-The bill for the modification OF
land leases in Hawaii has been favor
ably reported to the House of Repre-
sentatives. It provides for an exten-
sion of the term from five years to
fifteen years, the latter time having
been accepted as a compromise in
stead of twenty years as was at first
proposed.
The War Department has received
from Captain Otwell by cable esti-
mates for the cost of dredging a chan
mel up to Pearl Harbor. These were
s., ,000, 600 for a 80 foot channel and
100000 additional for 35 foot chan
mel These figures We're something of
disappointment to authorities here.
The great cost of a channel will un-
doubtedly be a new obstacle to secur-
ing authorization for the Improvement
of the harbor.

GRAs TONIGHT
All Ready for the Big Society
Functi0n---Dec0rati0ns
Beautiful.

Until a late hour last night a busy
corps of workers labored at the "Crys-
tai Palace" in putting into place the
elaborate decorations in preparation
night, advantage being taken of the
turning on of the electric lights in
all their blaze of glory to put the fin
ishing touches on the big ballroom.
The effect is certainly very pretty, and
tonight, with the many masqueraders
expected and the hundreds of richly
gowned women and their escorts in
the boxes, the scene at the fishmarket
should be very gay indeed. The COM
mittee in charge of the affair have
worked hard and faithfully in prep
aration for this event, and their ef-
forts deserve to be crowned with
success.
In the general decorative scheme the
committee has relied on hundreds of
flags and streamers, but flowers, bunt-
ing tinsel and incandescent lights of
varied coIors have been worked in
with beautiful effect throughout the
various divisions into which the pa
vilion is cut up. The dancing floor
itself is in the center of the pavilion,
the throne dais, in gold and green,
occupying one end, facing the tiers
of seats reserved for the spectators.
The entrance is at the makai end of
the building, within an arch of palms.
Just within are the two dressing
rooms, the committee showing its
knowledge of the necessary by pro-

MARTIN EGAN SAYS
TAT IS The MAN
Thinks EIe Will Be Nominated
on the Very First
Ballot.

Taft will be nominated for Presi-
dent on the first ballot in the conven-
tion,'' said Martin Egan, the we'll
known Associated Press correspond
ent, yesterday. Egan is passenger
on the Korea, with his wife, going to
Manila for the Associated Press.
t'The entire West will be for Taft.
The movement for him is not a hurrah
movement. 1t is not a noisy move
ment. But it carries the votes with it.
He will undoubtedly have more than
enough votes on the first ballot to
nominate him.
Egan accompanied Taft on his visit
to the Philippines last fall when the
Ohio statesman went there to open
the Philippine Legislative Assembly.
He returned with him by way of ST.
IBERIA and through Europe to New
York. He was in Japan during the
apanese-Russian war and had the
confidence of the Japanese Govern
ment in a larger degree than probably
any other correspondent. He is quite
convinced that there is no danger of
trouble between Japan and the Unit
ed States and that there never was.
Egan has seen much service in the
Far East. He was in China during
the Boxer troubles. He was in the
Philippines during a period of great
interest there. He was in Japan dur
ing the war with Russia. He returned
with Taft from the Philippines three
years ago when Taft took his party
of Congressman out there. He was

Straus was asked If he would not like

he could pass judgment OF the quality.
Two or three days afterward he was

pie. but it was hard as a raw rutabaga
and as lacking in taste as a pine board.

Candy for the Battleships

The Navy Department has ordered
another lot of 10000 lbs. of high
grade chocolate bonbons for the
Pacific feet. to be delived in San
Francisco before the ships sail for the
Orient. Since the Spanish war large
shipments have been repeatedly
ordered for the warships. owing to a
conviction on the part of the medical
corps that chocolates lessons the desire
for strong drink and are especially
good for men in the tropics. Purity.
flavor and keeping qualities are the
three requirements. Every bonbon
is wrapped in tin foil and then packed
in alr-tight tin boxes with screw tops
to resist heat and salt air. Jack does
