that the work of the committee was sole
ly to try and make the appropriations
fit the revenues. That was why the
new estimates were being prepared and
I why the Finance Committee worked
along the lines laid out. AT the time
the Governor prepared his estimates,
he did not know that the people want

Now that he had found out, he worked
with the Auditor to prepare new esti-
mates. 1t was not new bill, but SIM

EVENING SESSION.

When the House went into committee
of the whole last might for the first
evening session of the session, Hihlo
protested vigorously that the estimates
as presented-the new estimates OF the
Governor-had not been translated for
the benefit of the Hawaiian members.
He wanted the committee to rise with
out doing anything, and when his mo-
ton was defeated, asked to be excused
from attendance.
Kama also protested that he had no
copy of the estimates and scorned a
copy that Nakaleka offered him. Rice
and Cohen tried to explain that all the
typewriters in the office were working

sition of land and other property for
public purposes. It's object is to allow
the government to sell at auction lands
which it would otherwise have to ex-
change at appraised values. The com
mittee believes that appraised values
are sometimes very faulty and the re-
port states that Glands have been sold
shortly after exchange for several times
their appraised value, showing great
loss to the Territory" In reply to
question from President Smith, Senator
Knudsen said that there was no con-
fict between the provisions of the bill
and the Organic Act.

Public Works.

superintendent s salary stayed pass
ed at 1878, and the other items were
taken up. Rice then proposed some
more Jumping, suggesting $22,920 as a
lump sum for the general expenses of
the office. AS it now stands it is SAL
06O. Moanapli wanted to defer action,
it not being certain as vet that the
waterworks would be turned over to
the counties.
Coney said the idea was to see
where the Territory was getting off in
the way of money. That was why now
was the time to trim the bill. Later,
if necessary, the bill could be amend
ed if the waterworks transfer failed,
while Rice stated very loudly and at
length that it was question now of
staying in the same old rut or going
ahead If the counties were to get
more work and more money, the Ter
ritorv must have less work and less
money and cutting would have to come.
Governors New Estimates.
Single stated that he and Senator
Fairchild had consulted the Governor
on the scheme of turning over the wa
terworks to the counties and eonsoli-
dating the departments of Public
Works, Lands and Survey office. This
latter the Governor said was not prac-
tieable. although it was practical to
combine the last two. The Governor,
in view of the other changes proposed
had made revised estimate. In the
bill under discussion an item of $T06.-
900 for teachers salaries would be
found. 1t was declared by the chair
man of the Education Committee that
500 900 more must be voted to meet
the requirements.
The revised estimates of the Gov
ernor. giving the counties more reve-
nue. and more work. gave a total of
90 624. 7S6. being $624000 less than in
the bill. even allowing $4,000 more
for schools and a contingent fund of
so. 600 This last is to make up for
extra expenses in departments pared
too deep or for unforeseen expenses.
If the Legislature viii carry out the
policy outlined. ever half million can
90 for public improvements, making it
possible to do much out of current rev.
enue which will otherwise have to be
done from loan fund.
Single suggested evening sessions
from now on until the bill was passed
and Rice kokuaed the idea, making a
motion TO that effect.
Having thus decided to get real
busy, the committee rose.

TO RAISE MAIL
 REGISTRATION FEE
Postmaster General An nounces that Rate Will Be Made Ten Cents in Near Future.

Washington. Aug. 26.-An increase of two cents is to be made in the near future in the fee for the registration of letters and mail packages.
 Announcement of the proposed change is made by Postmaster Gen. eral Hitchcock. The decision of MT. Hitchcock to increase the registry fee followed an extended inquiry into the registry system by a special commits sion appointed by the postmaster gen. eral- MT. Hitchcock and the members of the commission had long confer ence yesterday. It was decided to ripe experience and ability from vari- ous parts of the country for a more general meeting with the postmaster general next Monday.
 MT. Hitchcock believes that the ser vice may be placed on a more business like basis without working undue hardship or imposing unreasonable burdens on the public.
 In his talk with a number of the delegates who attended the recent an nual convention of the National As sociation of First Class Postmasters at Toledo, MT. Hitchcock learned they were almost unanimously of the opin- ion that an increase to ten < cents would not be opposed when it was un- derstood that the government was los- ing several million dollars at the pres ent time.
 authorized to make the registry fee as high as twenty cents. In 1874 it was reduced from fifteen to eight cents, but increased to ten cents in 1875. It was reduced from ten to eight cents in 1893. The registry service is the most expensive of any rendered by the department, owing to the precau- tions taken to insure safety.
 The registry officials invited to the conference with the postmaster gen. eral next Monday include E. S. Post and Edmund Sands of New York, AL den B. Weston of Boston. James B. Bennett of Chicago

H. H. JENNINGS
Successful Career of Prom inent Theatrical
 Magnate
NATIVE OF BRIDGEPORT

The following appreciate article from the Hartford Post concerning a native Bridgeporter will be of interest here:
 Few people who have entered the theatrical business in Hartford are better or more favorably known to the profession and the public than Henry H. Jennings, the proprietor and man ager of the Hartford Opera House, for during the thirteen years that he has been connected with that theatre he has presented for public approval some Of the best known stars in the thea trical Armament. MT. Jennings rise in the theatrical world has been grad ual but positive He was born in Bridgeport, May 10, 1852, and his earl fer life was spent in that city. His father died when he was a mere lad and he was obliged to earn his living at an early age. He sold papers in the theatrical district of Bridgeport and in that way became known to the managers Of the theatres. When he was not engaged in selling papers he worked about the theatres picking up a few stray pennies here and there. He showed ability while still in his teens and a MT. Sagee. who owned the Franklin Hall, where plays were pro- duced, was attracted by young Jen- nings. When Mir. Sagee built a new opera house in 1869, he made MT. Jen- nings the stage manager, holding the position until 1878. when a larger house was built by D. V. Hawes. MT. Jen- nings became the stage carpenter of the house. In 1886, MT. Jennings be- came manager and produced the first play in Bridgeport at popular prices. Later he bought a half interest in the Proctor theatre, owned by P. T. Bar mum, and also a half interest in the Hawes Opera House and was manager of both for a number of years. MT. Jennings came to Hartford in 1896, leasing the Roberts Opera House. as the present Hartford Opera House was then known. He remodelled the house and transformed it into a modern play house at great expense. MT. Jennings is a believer in popular prices and he instituted this scale of prices at his theatre from the first He has been successful in all his theatrical a,dven- lures and to him Hartford gives it's thanks for giving numberless plays while they were at the height of their popularity. He has recently made ar rangements with the Schuberts for the production of their plays in his thea tre the coming season and the an- nouncement was greeted with manifes- tatfonS of approval by all of the play goers of Hartford for they realize that, through MT. Jennings efforts, many of thk Schuberts stars will appear in Hartford this year. MT. Jennings is popular in fraternal circles. He is a past exalted ruler of the Bridgeport Lodge of Eaks and for over 30 years of Odd Fellows. He was formerly owner of the Hartford polo team when the game was at the height of it's pop ularity. He has always been active in public entertainments and amuse- ments and Hartford appreciates his eff forts to present the best in the amuse- ment line He has done much for the playgoers Of the city and their con- tinued patronage is evidence of their approval.
