PALACE
CAFE OUT
REFUSED AND NO RE
NEWAL OF LIQUOR LICENSE
HAS BEEN ASKED.

The Palace Cafe, on the corner OF
Merchant and Richards treet will go
out of business on July 1, az least as
far as the selling of liquor is con-
cerned. An application was received
by the Liquor Commission for a
transfer of the license at the place to
other parties, few meetings ago, and
was refused Col. Mccarthy the hold
er of the present license has not APP
piled for a renewal.
This means that the only hard fight
which will be made against any Of
the local licensees will be against the
Royal Annex Cafe at the corner of
Nuuanu and Merchant streets. No
protest against this resort has been
entered with the Liquor Commission
ers as yet, but it is certain that one
will be made before the hearing on
the matter of a renewal is held.
The Moana Hotel is the only other
place which mas been the cause of
any pilikia. A protest was made that
the hotel management was allowing
the sale of liquors in the barroom on
Sunday. The attention of the man
ager was caI1ed to hte fact and yes
terday sign of mo Admittance' was
posted on the door to the bar. Drinks
were served as usual on the lanai.
There has been no protest against
the Moana for any other reason, the
bar being one of the quietest in the
city and always run in a perfectly
proper manner.

ANNIVERSARY OF ROANOKE.
Famous Confederate Island Fortress
Was Taken February 8, 1862.

Washington, Feb. S.-Veterans
who participated in the capture of
Roanoke Island forty-sexen years
ago today celebrated the anniversary
by a reunion, in which they lived
over again the details of the most
important federal victory of 1862.
The island was considered impreg-
nable, as the Confederates had
strongly fortified it with batteries,
which commanded the sounds on
each side. There was also a fortified
camp, which extended across a mar
row part of the island. These for
tifications were garrisoned by North
Carolina troops, and mounted forty
guns. Above the island was a Con-
federate flotilla of small gunboats.
Early in 1862 an expedition was
fitted out at Hampton Roads for op-
erations against Roanoke Island. 1t
was composed of more than 100 war
vessels and transports, commanded
by Commodore l.. M. Goldsborough,
and bearing 10000 troops under
Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside.
The fleet left the Roads on jan
uary IL. On February Colds
borough opened a bombardment of
the works on the island. The first
attack was upon Fort Barlow, near
the senter of Roanoke Island.
In short time there was gen
eral engagement between the fleet
and the batteries in Croatan Sound,
in which the Confederate fotilla
participated. These vessels disposed
of, Goldsborough concentrated his
fire on Fort Barlow, three-quarters
of a mile distant
AS the fort began to give way
transports were brought up. At
midnight, while a cold storm or rain
and wind was sweeping over land
and water, about 1900 troops were
landed, many Of them wading ashore.
At dawn of February 8 this force
moved to attack the lines of in
trenchments that spanned the island.
The Confederates made gallant de-
fense, going from redoubt to re-
doubt, as one after another fell into
the hands of the federals.
Their last stand was made in a
we'll situated redoubt, approached by
causeway. Finally is was taken
by storm, The Confederates fled,
and were pursued about six miles,
when they surrendered. Roanoke
Island passed into the possession of
the federal troops.

FLEET TRIP EXPENSIVE.
Around the World Cruise Has Cost
in Round Numbers, $27 100000,

Washington, Feb. 8.-The NAM
moth fleet of ocean bulldogs, that
was gathered at Gibraltar, have
commenced the final lap of the
world-tour, which will end with the
triumphal entry Of the fleet into
Hampton Roads fourteen days hence.
The trip across the Atlantic will
be marked by races and maneuvers
on scale seldom before attempted
by the ships of the navy, and which
are expected to demonstrate that the
fleet of Uncle Sam is still in as good
condition for "a fight or a frolic"
as when 1t sailed out Of Hampton
Roads with Fighting Bob" Evans
in command.
The return of the vessels to Amer
lean waters, after their record
smashing cruise, will be momen-
tous episode and will add a final
sun-burst of glory to the admins
tration of President Roosevelt,
whose active brain devised the de-
tails of the grand adventure.
Meanwhile, some carping persons
nave DeSun 10 count the cost OF the
cruise, and the figures they present
are staggering in their immensity
1t is declared-and these are appar-
emily among the figures that do not
belong to the Ananias Club-that
the world-cruise, at its completion
on February %, will have cost no
less than $27,500,000. When the
ships enter Hampton Roads they. will
have burned up that amount-a for
tune vanished in the air with the
smoke from the tunnels of Admiral
Sperry's sixteen bulldogs and the
auxiliaries accompanying them.
Careful estimates show that it costs
about $17,107.000 to maintain the
battleships of that feet, and that

Had Narrow Escape.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 6.-While re-
turning from Southland college,
where he had delivered his lecture
on "The Prince of Peace" William
Jennings Bryan came near losing
his life. The big automobile in
which he was riding, threw a tire
on the bridge, near Tarpon Springs,
and plunged into the trestle, throw
ing the occupants out.
Mr.. Bryan was on the side struck
and was jammed against the bridge
rail. He suffered considerable in
jury. 1t was at first thought that
his leg was broken, but careful
examination showed that it was only
bruised. He is confined to his room
at the hotel and suffers consider
able pain.
Mr.. Bryan is scheduled to appear
at st. Louis soon and at Springfield,
ILL.,, on the anniversary of Lincoln's
birth, and he may be compelled to
cancel those dates.

ROADS ARE FIRST TO SCORE.
Federal Courts Will Have Jurisdic-
ton in the Rate Contest,

tlOn Ill the Kate contest.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. S.-Claims
in reference to the fight between the
state authorities and the railroads
Of South Dakota over the two-cent
passenger rate law being draw"
so far as the question of jurisdiction
between the United States court and
the state supreme court Is concerned,
are not borne out by the facts in the
case.
That the federal court has full
and complete jurisdiction in the case
is not doubted by competent attor-
neys and others.
The suits filed on Wednesday af
ternoon in the United States court
by the various railroads which seek
to prevent the state authorities from
putting into effect the new two-cent
rate are supplemental or amendatory
to the case involving the 2 " cent
passenger rate which has been pend
ing in the United States court for
many months, the jurisdiction of the
federal court in that case having
In the present action by which
the railroads seek to prevent the
two-cent rate being put into effect
the railroads allege that the new
rate is unconstitutional and contisca-
tory, and stand ready to furnish evil
dence which they believe will fully
substantiate these contentious.
The state supreme court, we'll
posted attorneys point out, is simply
a court Of review and not a trial
court, and therefore cannot take tes-
timony in the case, it naturally fol-
lowing that it has no jurisdiction in
the case involving the 2-cent rate, as
only after the Offering of testimony
can it be established whether or not
the two-cent rate is unjust, confisca-
tory and unconstitutional, as claim
ed by the railroads.
The testimony offered in the case
will be very voluminous. That it
will fill thousands of typewriter
pages is certain. Several weeks
time will be consumed in taking of
testimony when the case reaches the
stage where the taking of testimony
actually will be in progress.
When the suits were filed on
Wednesday three of the railroad COM
panies having lines in the state were
not representative Minneapolis
and st. Louis, the Great Northern
and the South Dakota Central. Now,
however, these roads have Joined the
other roads in the fight against the
two-cent rate.
The Minneapolis and St. Louis
filed its suit Thursday, while the
Great Northern and South Dakota
Central took similar action twenty
four hours later.
The commencement of the actions
involved vast amount of work on
the part Of the United States clerk
of the courts and the United States
marshal's departments. There were
total of 3O9 services to be made
on parties pretty well scattered over
the state.

EXPRESS COMPANY CHANGE.
Wells, Fargo & Company Will Oper-
ate on Milwaukee After Nav 1.

Wells, Fargo & Company Will Oper-
ate on Milwaukee After May 1.
New York, Feb. 6.-The Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul has given up
its plan for an express service Of
its own and after May 1 next the
express service on the new line, as
we'll as on the old lines of the road
will be furnished by Wells, Fargo
& Co. The United States Express
Company will continue to operate
the express service on the old St.
Paul lines up to May next.
Last year the Milwaukee & st.
Paul management organized the
Continental Express Company, with
capital of 100000, to conduct
a general express business. This
company, it was announced, would
operate an express service over the
Pacific coast extension Of the Mil
waukee & St. Paul, about 1900
miles of line, and later over all the
old lines of the system as we'll, were
it found to be advantageous to do
so. Now the plan has been aban-
ooASo. 1AoISoO, uo"OSCA3 VI VII
tinuing the contract with the United
States Express Company it was de-
cided to turn the express business
of the entire system over to Wells,
Fargo & Co. There was competi-
ton between the two companies for
the business, and Wells, Fargo &
Co. were the successful bidders.
All of the Continental stock is
owned by the Milwaukee & st. Paul,
but the actual amount invested in
the service so far has been relatively
small. Rather, however, than pur-
chase the necessary equipment to
operate an express service on all
the new lines and assume the risk
of the business, the Milwaukee &
st. Paul considered it better to in
trust the work to one of the general
express companies.
One factor in causing the roads S
management to reach this decision
is understood to be the agitation for
lower express rates, which is going
on in various sections of the coun-

The estimate of $a,1 $500 for re-

TAFT FORMALLY ELECTED
Electoral Ballots Counted by Both
Houses of Congress.

IlouScS u congress-
Washington, Feb. 1O.-The final
formality in the election of William
FL. Taft as president, and James s.
Sherman as vice-president took
place today, when both houses of
Congress assembled in the Hall of
Representatives this afternoon to
canvass the electoral vote cast by
the colleges Of the various states
last month. Vice-President Fair
banks presided over the assemblage.
The count was made in a perfume
tory monner and the result announc-
ed. This canvass marks the actual
election of Mr.. Taft, who did not
legally become Pesident-elect un-
til today, although he has been gen.
orally referred to by that title.
There was great public demand
for seats in the gallery of the House
chamber to witness the formal cleo
ton OF a President and Vice-P Pres
ident but few of the thousands Of
applicants could be accommodated.
Stringent rules were adopted gov
erning admission to the public gall
lery, and practically all the seats,
except those sections reserved for
the press, the executive and the dip
lomatic corps. were occupied by
members of the families of senators
and representatives. Each senator
and representative was allowed two
seats.

IT IS COSTING
TOO MUCH
SENATOR IITTREDGE OPPOSED
RAISING THE LIMIT ON THE
PANAMA CANAL COST.
IN THE SENATE HE STATED HIS
BELIEF THAT THE LOCK
CANAL is A MISTAKE.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senators
Kittredge, Foraker and Teller today
declared that they believed a grave
mistake had been made in adopting
the lock project, during the discus
sion on the type of the canal in Pan
anna. The lock project grew out Of
the report by Senator Kittredge
against increasing the limit of the
cost Of the canal to $5O0,OOO,OO0.
Senator Kittredge said that the
original estimates were for $780,
100000, but that there have been
expended to date over $4,000, 900.
He said that the work had not pro-
gressed SO far that the change to
sea level canal could not be made.
Senator thought the sea level
canal could be constructed for less
cost.
