Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell will ask the Legis
lature for the sum Of $1,416,O0O, for
the various public improvements
which are asked for the coming bien-
NAL period. This will show the COM
plete requirements of the various Gov
ernment buildings, waterworks, parks
and like works. The report is different
from any which has ever been sub
mitted before in that it does not make
conjectures in regard to what is need
ed. In each and every case a COM
plete estimate, showing just what is
wanted and its cost, is to be handed
to the Legislature, which may then
take its choice of what it thinks best
of the plans proffered.
The appropriation asked for the Ho-
nolulu waterworks is a large one, but
will probably have the united support
of the community.
1t provides for a complete and pure
supply of water which has been fig
ured out on an economical basis. When
the money received from water rates
is computed as interest it shows that

A MUSICAL TREAT
SATURDAY NIGHT

Besides the dramatic side of the
evenings attractions, there will be a
musical program that could hardly be
improved upon. There will be vocal
and instrumental solos, a chorus, and
orchestral selections.
The Honolulu Concert Orchestra of
25 pieces under the direction of Mr..
Vieira will give several numbers dur
ing the evening. Judging from their
last few rehearsals, they ale in better
shape than they have been for some
time, and may be expected to surprise
Honolulu people by their smooth, fluent
rendition.
The Hawaiian Glee Club of eighteen
members makes quite an effective
chorus. Their voices are pure and
full, and they have attained, through
much practice, the unity of tone and
perfect tempo so much desired in
chorus work.
The sale of reserved seat tickets will
begin tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
at the Bergstrom Music Co. Those who
hold exchange seat tickets should Sc
cure their reservations at once,

The outlook at the Nuuanu dam this

Whitehouse the contractor on the
work After the rain of last night
the water had risen five feet in the big
reservoir, which meant that sluicing
operations were Immediately started
and that material for the big fill is
being carried down to the structure
by the fumes at a tremendously fast
late According to Whitehouse, with
the supply already in sight there IS
enough water to allow sluicing for ten
days, and the rain is still keeping UP,
pouring more water into the reservoir
than the pumps can draw out for the
s,uicing.
After the pumps had been working It
their full acpacity for several hours a
measurement showed that there was
over an inch more water than when
they were started, which was very
good.
Whitehouse will leave for the coast

places some one in charge of the work

engineers in the Territory, will be
placed in charge by Whitehouse and

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, d. c., December II.
The annual report of Governor Frear
estimates the population of the Hawai-
ian islands at 10000, and contains a
quite lengthy discussion of the proper
tions of races, immigration plans and
political future of possible Asiatic
voters. This part of the report is as
follows:
1t is nearly eight years since the last
census was taken, and the conditions
are such that it is difficult to estimate
the present population. 1t is prog
ably about 10000, divided about as
follows: Orientals, $4,000, namely, Ja-
panese $4,000, Chinese $4,000, Koreans,
5000; Latins, $4,000, namely, Portu-
guese $4,000, Spanish 1000, Porto Ri
cans 1000; Polynesians, practically all
Hawaiians and part Hawaiians, $4,000;

s S. Virginian, and Lieutenant Queke-

graduated in landing 496 horses and
10 mules here from San Francisco in
the big freighter this morning, having
lost but two animals on the way down,
on a voyage that was a continual buck

S. S. Virginian arrived in port early

men of the Fifth Cavalry who accom-

were nearly all at some stage Of the

here, are strenuously kicking.
Fifteen polo ponies are included in
the anima shipment, but the Fifth
Cavalry has been so scattered that they
have no polo team When the camp
gets shaped up and there comes time
for recreation, the cavalry men will
form a polo team and issue a def to
local poloists.
This consignment of horses is the
largest ever shipped out of San Fran
cisco. The animals were housed in
stalls on the deck, fore and aft, as
well as in the regular boxes which the
Virginian carries amidships. They
are for the two squadrons of cavalry
aboard the Thomas.
The mess halls and stables and
kitchens and tents at Leilehua are
now all ready for the reception of the
Fifth Cavalry and Thursday will
probably see the men on their way
to camp.
In addition to the livestock and the
half a hundred and more men of the
Fifth Cavalry, the Virginian brought
10000 cases of kerosene for the Stan
dard Oil Company, and miscellaneous
freight, much of it from New York via
Tehuantepec.

The Japanese arrivals and depart

the arrivals, owing to the Japan-Rus-
sia war. For several years before
that there was little difference. Since
then the arrivals have on the whole

although the tendency is the other way
now, owing to restrictions placed by
the Japanese government upon emf
grafton to Hawaii This tendency is
offset to some extent by the restric-
tions against the migration of Japa-
nese from Hawaii to the Pacific coast.
The result is to keep here a better, that

to bring Japanese wives here in large

that the various government build

would cost the private consumer in
the vicinity of 100000, and which is
