Mr.. Werble, Yesterday, $50 that he may

that he was just tired, although he was
extremely pleased with what he had
seen in Honolulu, and the cocoanut milk
he had drunk on the first day of his
stay did not discommode him.
Mr.. Werble explained that he was
one of the few white men who speak
the dialect spoken by the sultan. He
was attached to the suitan's household,
and now has no connection with the
American government. He explained
that the politicians in Jolo did not wish
f. the sulta0 to leave his erstwhile king

that not only he himself, but the nation

Prince Rupert Steamship Man

". W. King, representing the steam

the excursion from Puget Sound 10 Ha-
waii in the British steamship Prince
Rupert next February. has written the
promotion committee regarding the
stay of the Prince Rupert in the Islands

he probably wants the Prince Rupert

CITY ARMED FOR EMERGENCY

PARIS. October 14.-This govern
ment is prepared for whatever may hap
pen as a result of the strike of the
railway employees and the refusal of
the military reserves, thousands of
whom are also striking railway men, to
turn to under military orders and man
the trains
The government buildings are under
guard and this city is now more like
great military camp than the peace
full capital of a glorious nation.
In certain sections there continues to
be rioting and there has been more or
less anxiety felt by the soldiers in the
immediate neighborhood of the railway
depots, where sympathizers have pre-
vented the sending out of trains
manned by military locomotive engi-
neers
Charged with instruction, there have
been several leaders of the railway
strike placed under arrest, though this
has had no effect on the comprehensive
strike which has cut the capital off
from the surrounding country, and, at
the same time, throws Paris into terror
lest a famine be effected through the
persistence of the idle rail operators
and the interference by their sym
pathizers with the work of retaliation
performed by the government.
Yesterday fortyfve hundred coal
miners were rendered idle, through the
inability to transport their product and,
for the same reason, there are other
industries shutting down and thousands
upon thousands are increasing the army
of strikers or those rendered without
employment or account of the strikers.
Railroad traffic between this city and
Berlin is paralyzed
The situation is exceedingly critical,
and the government may at any moment
have to take the most severe measures
to relieve the city of its dangerous iso-
lation. Already is there suffering be-
cause of the inability to get from the
outlying districts sufficient food.

Link McCandless is girding about
him the mantle of fame as an imitation
of one Hearst, inasmuch as he is now
the owner of newspaper entitled and
called "The Honolulu Examiner -
Link has dug up good, solid coin, it is
said, almost to the extent Of $3.50 or
5000 cash, for the good will of the little
weekly paper above named. which has
heretofore been run, conducted, edited
and written by Princess Theresa Wilcox
Belleveau, under the advertised editor
ship of Belleveau, whose wife the prin-
cess is.
The Honolulu Examiner has for sew
eral weeks been quoted, now and then,
for a few of its choicest misprints and
funnyisms, but, according to the new
dispensati0n. there are not to be any
more mistakes in Typography, grammar,
English or dicti0n. for the proprietor
is to be Fred Turrll and the associate
editor, who will handle the Hawaiian
end of the publication, is to be j. NJ
Poepoe. Turrill IS running on the Demo
cratic ticket for Representatives
Link McCandless returned from
Kauai on Wednesday, and the next day
yesterday the deal went through
whereby Princess Theresa and Mr.
Belleveau transferred right title and
interest to Link McCandless, the prin-
cess not even retaining so much of an
interest as to become society editress
of the newly organized paperette.
Whether Turrill writes the editorials
or not remains to be seen. for the first
issue of the new Link organ will not
be out until tomorrow, and Turrill alb
sOlutely refuses to have anything to
say about his duties, though he admits
that Link will pay him salary as
manager and proprietor' of the re-
juvenated or converted weekly news
paper.
1t may possibly be that a newspaper
man will be a contributor to the Elk
aminer, as far as the English section
is concerned, and Poepoe will write the
Hawaiian editorials and will likely
translate the English editorials into the
Hawaiian language
1t VIII doubtless come as a surprise
to many Democrats, as we'll as Repub-
licans, that Link, after all the talk of
his starting a daily campaign sheet.

The New District Commander.

Col. NJ. NJ Macomb L. S.'A., who
becomes a brigadier next month and
who has been designated as the first
regular commander of the district of
Hawaii. was born in Michigan October
u. 1852, and attended a military
academy in that State. Admitted to
West Point, he was appointed a second
lieutenant in the regular army Septem-
Der !, 1870. when only eighteen years
of age Thereafter he rose successivelv
to the rank of captain March s, 1895;
me- ior, November 4, 1901; Lieutenant
colonel, March %, 1906, and colonel,
April ), 1907
Macomb has served with marked dis
tinction throughout his military career,
and for some time it has been generally
known IN army circles that special hon
ors were. to be his reward whenever the
way should be opened.
The approaching retirement of Gen
pral Nver assured the advancement of
Colonel Macomb to the rank of brlga-
der general. but for some weeks 1t has
been understood that the recognition of
his services would comprise more than
that, since he undoubtedly would be ap-
pointed to the command of the newly
created department of Hawaii
Heretofore the Hawaiian Islands have
formed part of the department OF Cali
fornia, but the increasing strategic I'M
portance of Hawaii resulted in its be
ing made a separate district, but under
the California department.

DEPOT BUILDING QUESTION

Quartermaster-Gene Aleshire of the
United States Army, who will visit in
Honolulu next month with Gen. Tasker
Bliss, head of the department of Cali
fornia, will probably settle the status
of the old Barracks site, on Hotel
street, opposite the Capitol and will
probably arrange to transfer the prop
erty back to the Territory, 50 that the
Legislature will he free to appropriate
a liberal sum to erect thereon a SPLEEN
did national guard armory. In view
of the interest taken by the war de-
partment in the national guard, and
the nope that has been expressed by
high army officers that the national
guard Will be placed on a footing of
branches. the transfer of the property
it Is anticipated will be made in the
near future. Without an armory, or a
place to put one, there is small hope
of the guard becoming as proficient in
the art of arms as the government de
sireS.
At the same time General AleShlre
will probably do something toward re-
advertising for bids for a depot quar-
termaster building on the federal prop
ertv on lower Fort street, mauka of
the Oceanic wharf. Bids were once sub
mitted, but the war department consid-
cred them too high, and the matter has
been left in allegiance for the past two
years.

Hon. J. j. King and wife, and their

so, Cowlitz county, on Wednesday
where they expect to make their flu
ture home. Judge Kings wife has
been in poor health for some time
past and the west side climate seem
ed to be beneficial to her, which ac-
counts for their removal. The judge
and his family have been residents
of Leavenworth for number OF
years, and by their leaving the town
is losing two of it's most highly re-
spected citizens. The judge served a
term in the legislature as represen-
tative from Chelan county and was
considered one of the hard working
members of the law making body
r. T. King served three years as
councilman and will file his resigna-

bOW[bY FAILS TO
MAKE GOOD
Control of State Rock Quar-
ries Taken From High
way Commissioner.

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 10.-Man-
agement of state rock quarry plants
was today again placed in the hands
of the board of control by Governor
Hay.
Highway Commissioner H. L..
Bowlby, who induced the governor
last spring to give him charge of the
plants, failed to carry out his assur-
ances to the governor as to the time
when he would have the plants in
operation, and also contracted for
the expenditure of about $4,000 more
than the appropriation for this work.
The board discovered that it can
probably count upon $1,000 or S.
900 saving from the wreckage by
refusing to recognize some of Mr..
Bowlby's illegal contracts. The Mes
kill quarry is overrun with orders
and can probably operate during the
winter on funds derived from the
sale of it's product. The. Deception
pass quarry is at present out of COM
mission, owing to a slide which car
ried away part of the track.
The board of control states that
while it has not yet had opportunity
to make a thorough check of finan-
cial conditions it believes it has suf-
ficient money to carry the Deception
pass plant until repairs are made and
money is coming in from the sale of
rock so that the quarry can continue
operations from its earnings until
the next session, but nothing can
the plants in Spokane and Yakima
counties.
