APPROPRIATION
BILL DISCUSSED
Caucus of Supervisors Results in
Its Tentative Passing With
Few Changes.

After half days wrangling over
the general appropriation bill for the
six months commencing the first of the
year, the supervisors, meeting in eau
Gus, tentatively passed the same with
total but little at variance with
that voted on and passed six months
ago.
Converting at half past three yester.
day afternoon in the assembly hall at
the city offices, the caucus was still in
session at six and much alteration
drifted down the corridor. There will
be but few extra items in the bill
when it comes before the supervisors
in regular session.
The only new posts created by the
bill as it now stands are the salaries
for two extra guards at the county Jail.
AT present the guards there are stand
ing duty twelve hours to a stretch and
the additional guards provided will
shorten the shifts to eight hours apiece.
Supervisor Quinn stated last night
that the total will not be more than
800 in variance with the last bill pass
ed. Not cent more, he says, has been
voted for the bridges, parks, roads and
other and similar departments.
The police department gets the same
appropriation and does not get the ad-
dition that was wanted. Sheriff Jarrett
asked the board for an appropriation
for $500 a month to be expended by
himself to use as secret service fund
and further to be expended without
accounting for it to anyone except the
chairman of the police committee of the
board of supervisors. The members
showed no desire to let the sheriff learn
any secrets.
The voting of this fund would have
placed at minimum any necessity for
repetition of charges against any
chief of detectives or other official in
the future. The board of supervisors
however, failed to see it that way.
"He must have thought we were a
bunch of dubs,'' said Quinn last night

CARNEGIE WILL
GIVE HAWAII
100000
Iron King Promises Big Gift for
Public Library Building
in This City.
EREAR'S MISSION SUCCESSFUL
Territory Must Pay for Upkeep
Of Promised Magnificent
Institution.
FREAR'S MISSION SUCCESSFUL

Andrew Carnegie will give Honolulu
100000 to pay the cost of the erection
of public library building. A cable.
gram to this effect was received by
Acting Governor Mott.Smith yesterday
from Governor Frear, who was at that
time in New York.
One of the things that the Governor
had on his list when he left for the
East, few weeks ago, was to see Mr..
Carnegie and find out what the Iron
King would actually do toward provid.
ing Honolulu with library building.
MIR. Carnegie had previously promised
to contribute the funds to pay for the
erection of building, if the legisla
ture of the Territory would appropri-
Legislature did at the last regular ses-
sion, appropriate the sum of $4,000 a
year for that purpose, by an act intro
duced in the house by Representative
Shingle.
But Mr.. Carnegie had not, when the
Governor went East, come down to fig
ures, and Governor Frear intended to
see him and get the matter definitely
ernor Frear has been successful in his
mission and that Hawaii is to have a
library.
Just where the proposed building
will be located is still a matter to be
settled. 1t has been proposed by the
Y. M. c. A. to exchange sites with
the Honolulu Library Association, but
the negotiations have not yet been con-
cluded. The Y. M. c. A. site is as.
sessea at $37 1000, and tine library site,
across the street, is assessed at $4,000.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has proposed to .ex-
change sites even, and to take imme-
diate possession of the library site for
building purposes and continue to oc-
cupy their present quarters until their
new building is ready. This would
necessitate the library taking tempo
rary quarters for eight months or q
year and moving twice. The Y. NJ. c..
A. figures that the higher valuation of
its present lot and the accrued value
to follow their building across the road
should be enough to compensate the
library association for giving immedi-
ate possession and for having to move
twice, but the library association has
given no definite answer as yet. The
main reason for delay has been the
lack of definite knowledge of Mr.. Car
negie's intentions, which lack is now
done away with.
1t is the idea that when the Car
negie library is built, the present Ho-
nolulu library shall be combined with
it and the property of the association
turned over to the new library.
Governor Frear, it is understood, ia
vors having the new library building
located on the site now occupied by
the bungalow" in the capitol yard
There has been some opposition to this
plan manifested, while some are strong,
1y in favor of it.
However, the site is matter of de
tail. The principal thing is that Ho
nolulu is to get Carnegie library.

CUPID IS BUSY
ON BIG ISLAND
Many Meetings Are Arranged, at
Which Delegate Is Meet
ing the People.

Delegate Kalanianaole viii be in
Hilo this week, and will in person as.
sure his constituents here that he in.
tends to be candidate for the office
of delegate to congress in the coming
election, as we'll as dwelling on other
matters of Importance, says the Hilo
Tribune of November 80.
The Delegate had intended to come
to this island in the Mauna Kea last
week, but he missed the boat, and took
the Mauna Loa, sailing from Honolulu
last Friday. He was accompanied by
Judge Archie Mahaulu of Waialua and
by ex-senator John c. Lane. Repre-.
sentative Castro of honolulu had been
expected to come along, but he was
detained owing to pressing business of
the San Antonio society, of which he
is an official. Castro's place in the
party will probably be taken by Repre-,
sentative Alfonso of this city.
The Delegate and his party were
Joined at Kohala by Speaker Holstein,
who will accompany them on their tour
around the entire island. According
to message which was received from
the party yesterday morning by Super
visor Desha, the Delegate was then still
at Kailua, the reason for his long stay
at that place being probably due to the
fact that he owns residence there of
which he has always been very fond.
According to the message sent to
Desha, the party would travel by auto.
mobile through the two Konas yester-
day, holding meetings as they went
along. They expected to arrive in Kau
this morning, and planned to hold
of Senator George C. Hewitt. Tomor-
row the party will continue on its
journey through the Kau district, hold
ing meetings at Pahala and other
places. Tomorrow night it is expected
that the Volcano House will be reach
ed, where the night will be spent, and
on Thursday, if the present plans do
not miscarry, the Delegate will arrive
in Hilo.
While in the city the Delegate will
be the guest of. Supervisor Desha. He
asked that supervisor to make arrange.
ments for the meetings which should
be held in Hlo and throughout the
Hilo and Hamakua and Kohala dis.
tricts, but Desha has turned the mat.
ter over to the county committee in
order that any friction might be avoid.
ed. The committee held a meeting last
Friday evening, but nothing was done
at that time about the matter, owing
to the fact that no definite informa-
tion was then at hand in regard to the
itinerary of the Delegate, but meet
ing of the county committee will be
held this evening, at which full ar
rangements are to be made.
Supervisor Desha has been informed
that the Prince intends to make the
announcement of the fact that he will
again be candidate for the office of
delegate, the main feature of his ad'
dresses to the voters, but he will also
dwell on other points, the principal
one of which will be discussion of the
land law amendments question, and in
this connection he will express his APP
prevail of the work done by the recent
special session of the legislature.

inson. The men named have acquired
from w. G. Irwin the entire island, the
price paid by them being $685., 900. The
papers have all been signed, the money
has been paid and the deal is completed.
1t is stated that the survey of the
island, made week ago, gave the new
owners the idea that the water posi-
hilities are considerably greater than
have been supposed. However, it will
take some good engineering work to
devlop the water resources.
Although the Kalawai valley will
probably be devoted to cotton growing,
the grazing business will not be aban.
doned Cattle and sheep will still be
raised as heretofore. 1t is estimated
that there are on Lanai about 10000
acres of agricultural land aside from
the ranch lands.
The island will be turned over to the
new hui the first of the year. Charles
Gay, who has for so long been identified
with Lanai, is to stay on the island, the
new owners having arranged that he is
to have a home there.
The big deal was negotiated by the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Company, w.
G. Irwin being represented in the deal
by his attorney.in-fact, w. NJ. Giffard.

KOREAN EMPEROR
PRAISES ITO
Says Assassination of the Prince
Has Done Harm to the
Hermit Kingdom.

The Emperor of Korea, following the
death of Prince Ito, issued rescript
extolling the virtues and abilities of
the deceased statesman and setting
forth his own relations with and feel.
ing toward the Prince. The rescript,
as published in an extra of the Official
Gazette, was as follows:
"The principle for the management
of state lies in the consolidation Of
its foundations and the placing of its
people in easy circumstances. Owing,
however, to the present day intricacy
of the world situation, the rise or fall
of country can not easily be antici-
pated. My country is too weak to
maintain its existence without Japan s
protection, and, therefore, took an
oath and reported before the Great
Mausoleum upon My determination at
the beginning of My region. carried
out record reforms, preferred fruit to
beautiful blossoms, and laid out the
plan for the development and progress
of the country. Day and night take
care to be diligent, and My only fear
is that l may fail in My duties.
"The Grand Tutor of the Crown
Prince, Prince Ito, Loyalty assisted in
the contamination of the grand work
of the late Restoration of Japan, and
has served his fatherland as an emf
nent adviser for over forty years past.
During this period he took leading
part in the institution of Japan's Con
stitution and developed imperial
schemes, and he occupied the important
post of President of the Privy Coun-
Gil until recently. He always sided
with the cause of world peace, and
when, at the order of his Imperial
Master, he arrived here as Resident
General, he guided My Government in
