One Months Strike.
STRIKERS PLAY
WHILE LOAF inc

While the strike continues the lead
ers devise many methods to keep the
idlers from becoming restless, and in
order to keep them all busy yesterday
they arranged grand wrestling car
nival in the open lot back of the maeA-
roni factory, Beretania avenue, Pain
ma. Hundreds of Japanese men,
women and children viewed the scenes
in the sanded arena, where husky Jap
anese competed in strength and skill
in regular wrestling bouts, where nom
inal prizes were awarded the yictors in
contests.
In the center of the open space a
sand arena had been built up q couple
of feet above the level of the ground,
the outer edge formed of sacks of sand
to keep the material from being showed
Off -Four corner posts wound with
white and red bunting, barber-pOle
fashion, marked the confines of thu
arena. Suspended directly over the
center of the arena from crosspieces
bundles of tissue paper marked the 10
cations, beneath which each contestant
took his place. On two posts cups
filed with salt were attached, and
buckets of water were placed nearby,
for every wrestler, by habit, takes n
drink of water and pinch of salt
before entering each contest
A high stand close by was used by
those in charge of the bout, and the
counter in front of them was laden with
prizes. These consisted mainly OF
bundles of kimono crepe, socks, hama
kerchiefs and various trinkets,' tatz-
scope valises and quilts being inclndst
in the list.
In the arena stood the referee with
his projecting wings and wand of of
flee in hand. An announcer in quaint
garb assisted him, carrying the prizes
from the stand to the referee, who
passed them on to the victors.
About forty nelydeveloped Japan
ese squatted around the arena attipd
only in breechclouts and very littln Of
these. The breechclout, however, is
the prescribed wrestling uniform. The
portion of the cloth which winds about
the waist is of particular use in wrest
ling, for handhold upon ii by the
opponent is most sought for. The rules
for throwing are rigid and the referee b
decision is never criticized.
The games continued all afternoon
until about four O'Clock, when the
crowd began to fade away, for il was
mealtime for the strikers at the "soup-
kitchen" maintained on Aala lane.
Each man and woman putting in
appearance at the gate had to produce
ticket for entrance. Once inside the
person was entitled to a meal served
at long tables. The women sat in on2

GOOD PROGRESS
ON NEW HOSPITAL

Very substantial progress has been
made on the building for the Kauikeo.
lani Children 5 Hospital, being erected
on Kuakini street, the building of
which has heretofore attracted little
attention. This is rather surprising,
the new hospital showing already that
it will be one of the most modern of
Honolulu institutions and very hand
some and elaborate structure. Contractor
A. =. Mcdonald has made rapid prog
ress with the work since he broke
ground less than three months ago, hav-
ing the concrete walls erected and the
building ready to be rooted. When com.
pleted the structure will have cost $780,.
1876, while the furnishings and equip
ment will require some 100000 add.
tional.
AS stated, the main building is to
be of concrete, reinforced. 1t is in
size, on the ground plan, forty.two by
seventy-three feet, two storied, and has
on each side semi detached buildings,
for nurses residence, dining-room, kit
chen and laundry. On the ground floor
are to be three free wards, doctor g
office, diet kitchen, an examination
room, two waiting lanais and two bath
rooms. On the second floor, reached by
two flights of stairs, are to be six pay
wards, diet room, IA surgical ward, a
steriliZing ROOM an instrument room, a
nurses room and two bath rooms. The
operating room is to be fitted up with
the latest scientific appliances and is
to be finished and furnished in way
to meet the very latest sanitary ideas.
Later on, according to the hopes of
the directors of the hospital, a separate
building will be added TO the hospital
for contagious disease ward, and still
another separate building for play
house for the cOnvalescent patients.
Cow stables and other buildings will
also be put up on the four acres of
ground belonging to the institution.
The building has been planned by
Architect j. II. Craig, who has succeed
ed in designing a handsome building
externally and well arranged one for
the purpose within. Mr.. Mcdonald, the
contractor, hopes to have the building
completed well within the contract time
of six months What may delay things
some is the fact that it will very prob
ably be necessary to send to the Coast
for plasterers the local knights of the
mortar and trowel being all busy. The
amount of building now going on every
where in Honolulu has caused dearth
of carpenters. also, and Mr.. Mcdonald
has had to import some for the work
already
The Kauikeolani Hospital will have
an endowment fund of about nifty.
seven thousand dollars upon which to
run. the total subscriptions for the fund
and building having been in the neigh
borhood of SlO7 600 OF this amount,
Mr.. Wilcox, of Kauai, contributed over
half, the balance being raised on Kauai
and in Honolulu. Judge Sanford b.

More Misleading Talk.
With the moral backing gone. of the
Japanese merchants associations, whole
sale and retail, and losing ground in
many other ways, particularly in the
division of opinion amongst the labor
ers themselves on EVA and Waialua
plantations, the agitator leaders at the
mass meeting held in town on Saturday
night resorted to the use of Rev. John
Wadman's name to hold the strikers
in place.
1t is reported that the leaders told
the audience that the Rev. Mr.. Wad.
man was in the field to negotiate
with the planters on behalf of the
strikers, and in view of this informa-
ton the strikers could well afford to
continue to place confidence in their
leaders.
Rev. Mr.. Wadman, when asked by
an Advertiser representative if he had
interested himself ON behalf of the
strikers in the manner described by the
leaders, replied:
cit is all news to me. i saw in the
English papers the other day their

shot and killed Mrs. John McVick-

upon himself and committed sui

Anderson had lived alone for
many years. He declared that his
two brothers had gossiped about
him.
An examination of Anderson's
body showed that he wore rude

he carried two bombs, which con-
tanned explosives enough to blow
up a house. The fact that he fell
upon q cushioned couch when he
shot himself prevented their ex-
