Three years ago. when the fire was ia g.

outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand

of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames sw1rled fiercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was Just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings Of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
strueted is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial OF both
fire and it's Accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything infammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at a cost of over two

ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings and fur

Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet

Its entertainment features are so nu-

Unequaled Entertainment Features.

Unequaled Entertainment Features.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors TO be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated In
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. It's walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Fr&nciseans
are a very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it Is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
Of it's kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall OF superb
proportions and simple grandeur. II is
the best illustration of hall of the
Norman period Even the tesselated
floor is made Of special design, a char
acteristie of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers OF
quaint design, made of hand-wroaght
iron in Paris especially fer this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau,
tagged promenade. which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions Of large enter
tainment. the terrace is canvassed In,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself On warm days
the terrace presents All animated scene,
reminding one largely OF Paris or the
erbankment in London. Here parties
Of eonvivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch IS served In the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama Of mountain and sea.
Numerous Dining Places.

1000 Strikebreakers.
The high tide in the employment Of
strlkebreakers was reached Yesterday
when about 2000 men were sent down
the line to the Oahu and Honolulu plan
tations. More japanese are going back
to these plantations every day, but the
number IS quite small The strike
breakers are doing well In the fields.
| however, they are not so sure footed as
the japanese who wear canvas toe
shoes. The Hawaiians wear their or
binary shoes and slip over the cane.
1t takes line of several men to pass
the cane out to the ears, but gradually
this difficulty is being surmounted.
AS to Revolvers.
The statement of Fred Maxine that
Japanese are purchasing revolvers may
have some slight foundation in fact,
but not quite as much as he expects
the haoles to believe. 4 tour of some
| of the stores where revolvers are dis
posed of does not reveal many sales,
One large firm reported that there had
been a number sold recently in certain
| districts but this was due to the regu
lar trip of their travelling salesman
| down there. The largest could only
| remember selling one revolver TO a
japanese in three weeks.
| Neooro Makes Assertion
| Negoro claimed yesterday that he
! had received cablegram from Taxa
hira and that it was favorable. Wheth-
err he did or not, the Associated Press
dispatch from Washington gives ac-
curate information as to the policy
which Ambassador Takahira will pur-
sue in this matter. Maxine was not
| disposed to have the contents of the
alleged cablegram given publicity.
! Making warship Scare.
The strike leaders are now feeding
| the minds of the strikers with news
to the effect that the Aso and Soya
under command of Admiral Ijichi will

Aorangi Has Little Room.

The Canadian-Australian steamer
Aorangi sailed fom FIJI for this port
on Tuesday, word having been receiv-
ed by the agents here to that effect.
The Aorangi VIII have room for but
fifteen people from Honolulu to the
Northwest, Notwithstanding the fact
that there are more than a hundred
booked. Travel from the Colonies to
Seattle for the exposition is very
heavy.
This is the last trip of the Aorangi
on the Northwest run, the old Miowera,
it is said. taking her place the next
voyage. The Miowera is even an older
ship than the Aorangi. She went
ashore here in 1894 and subsequently
in Norway. Information has reached
here to the effect that all the Canadian
Australian boats VIII be equipped with
wireless apparatus as soon as the shore
stations in the Colonies are placed.

wrencehed her ankle severely by fall

year-old son, who was below. and J.
r. SquiPes of the Manila firm of
Squires & Bingham was almost over
come by the sickening fumes while
assisting some Of the women passen-
gers to fresh air. For several hours
after the bursting Of the valve the
passengers underwent a fit of sneez-
ing from the effects Of the ammonia.
The accident occurred about noon
day when the China was steaming of
port through a smooth sea. The
decks wereacrowded with passengers
just UP from luncheon, while several
were below in rheir cabins. Among
the passengers were twenty
small children, and many of the
youngsters were romping about ali
parts of the ship.
No report accompanied the bursting
of the valve and the first effects OF
the explosion were noticed when the
caused the passengers to- cough and
