1t is stated this afternoon that all Of
the Hilo Breakwater bids will be
thrown out by Captain Otwell, U. S. A.
The objection to the Mayer bid is to be
sustained and the next bid, that of b..
b. Metzger, of Hilo, is regarded too
high. In fact Otwell thinks even the
lowest bidder too high. The result
will probably be that the captain will
throw out all the bids and go ahead
and make his own terms. Under this
plan, it is said. the work is likely to
go to Metzger or the Hilo railway, the
latter being on the ground and pre-
pared with machinery, etc.

FEW ASPIRE TO HIGHER GRADES
Annual Report of Civil Service Com.
mission Shows Many Federal Posi-
tions Have Been Placed on Service
Lists During Past Year-Few vio-
Iations Of Rules Pertaining to Politics

Washington. Feb. 3.-In its twentyA
fourth annual report, made public to-
day. the United States civil service
commission places the number of Of
ficers and employees of the executive
civil service on June 30, 1907, at ap-
proximately $4,000. OF this number
196,91S are subject to examination, an
increase of 1900 as compared with the
number for the previous year.
The report deplores that while the
statistics show the number of eligi-.
bles has been more than three times
as great as the number of appoint-
ments during recent years, there has
been lack of eligibles for the higher
grade positions The higher positions
are not usually filled by promotion,
and there is not sufficient inducement
for the most capable men to enter the
examinations either in the salary inn
mediately offered or in the prospects Of
advancement.
The report says the commission se-
cured two convictions for violation Of
the law relating to political assess
ments and two removals We're made fors

Commissioner OF Corporations
Declares Sentiment Has Stop

FEDERAL SUPERVISION NEEDED
Herbert Knox Smith Asks for System

Results SO Far Obtained-Aims Of
the Department.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Public opinion

correction of commercial evils when
those evils are stated specifically
This is one of the conclusions reached
by Herbert Knox Smith, commission
er of corporations, and expressed in
his annual report of the operations of
tie bureau of corporations. made pub
lie today.
Naturally, under the present condi-
tons, the real power of public opinion
reaches only such cases as may be
specifically stated" Thus" says the
commissioner, experience seems to
point logically to the need for the ex-
tension of such results by the creation
of a general administrative system of
supervision of interstate corporations
which will give. in substantially the
same form as furnished now for the
all great interstate corporations.
Whether the system take the form of a
federal license plan or the simple re-
qurement that interstate corporations
shall make reports and submit their
books to the federal bureau is of little
consequence SO long as the information
necessary for publicity is obtained.
The thing that is important is to ar
rive at a system which will accom-
plish the result; which will enable
the government to deal with such COR
porations in the main by administra-
tive supervision rather than by judi
cial procedures; whose methods Will
be preventive rather than penal, and
most important of all, system
which will afford permanent and prac-
tical ground for contact and co-opera-
tion between the governments officials
charged with this work on one hand
and the corporate managers on the
other.
ut is believed the time is ripe for
such system. The bureau has had

New King Popular, Army Loyal.
RUSSIA is ALARMED.
Draws Parallel Between Conditions in
Portugal and Empire.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 3.-The tragic
occurrences at Lisbon have created a
deep impression on all sections of So
ciety here. The newspapers today
comment grs,vely upon the events that
led up to the double assassination. The
Russ, in a daring editorial, draws a
thinly yelled parellel between condi-
tions in Portugal and those in Russia
and warns the government in almost
so many words that there is danger of
q similar event here. The lamentable
and awful tragedy in Portugal, the pa
per says, was due to the fact that the
king did not understand his people,
and attempted to stem by dictatorial
methods Of repression the irresistible
striving of the masses to take part in
the government. The tragedy hap
pened at the very moment when Prem
der Franco seemingly had succeeded in
restoring order by series of unprece-
dented repressive measures.
Novoe Voemya, altho attributing the
direct execution of the plot TO the
anarchists, e to whom all government is
soDnoxious, also connects the crime with
the dictatorship of Franco. which met
with both open and secret resistance
from all political parties.

erjtain,s svmpathies With Franco.

London. Feb. 3.-tt has been ruln-
ored for some time past that Great
Britain proposed to interfere to restore
order in Portugal. AS friend Of
Portugal Great Britain certainly has
been using her moral influence to end
the unsettled condition of affairs in
that country, and she will continue to
do so, but as for any interference in
the internal affairs of Portugal, that
is out of the question. Official opir
ion here is largely in sympathy with
Senor Franco, who. it is believed. has
been working for the best interests of
his country. Officials are inclined to
think however. that Franco made a
mistake in tackling all parties opposed
to good government at once, instead Of
fighting them singly.

Waterloo, Feb. 3.-Orders have been
received by Manager 'Whitenack, of the
local office of the Iowa Telephone COM
pany to re-establish the half rate for
toll service during the night. COM
mencing at instead of 6 p. m. For
some time past the business of the
company has been very heavy during
the early part of the evening, many
people who patronize the toll lines oc-
casionally waiting until the change of
rates to call up friends in distant cit
les as an economic measure. This has
had tendency to congest the lines. as
the working forces in all offices are
reduced after 6 p. m. To circumvent
this situation and improve the service
the company commenced an expert
ment few weeks ago Of annulling the
night rate and making it the regular
day rate thruout for such service. The
experiment proved satisfactory, but
was means of cutting down busi-
ness, as some people who were occa-
sional patrons did not use the lines as
often or as long as before.
