Another full session OF the House was
today devoted to general debate on the
railroad bill. Mr.. Mann, said that even
ing sessions might be asked for on Mon.

Mr.. Adsmsop, briefly den5ulced the
bill and was followed BY Mr.. Richardson
who declared that the measure was made
up largely Of new, uutried and uuDeces-
sary legislation. II the bill passed, he
said, new and independent lines OF rail-
rosds would be discouraged and prscti-
cslly denied by withholding credit.

BISHOP TRUST co.
The Bishop Trust Company, Ltd,
occupies spacious quarters opposite
the Postoffice building in Bethel street.
This concern manages estates, col
lects rent, etc, buys and sells prop
erty, and invests funds for patrons;
makes loans on real estate or stocks;
acts as trustee, guardian or executor,
and draws wills; buys and sells stocks
and bonds. The company has a seat
on the Honolulu Stock &c Bond Ev-
change.

pany are: 8. M. Damon, president; E.
A. Mott-Smith, vice president; A. w.

burn, treasurer and R. R. Reidford,
manager William Simpson is in
charge of the stocks section of the
business.
On account of it's close association
with the various Bishop companies
and estates, and companies having
other names, the Bishop Trust has an
enormous exclusive clientele. Under
these circumstances one would natu.
rally look for etreme conservatism in
its business ambitions. But the oppo.
site is the case. While cautious, sys.
tematic and accurate to the minutest
detail, the Bishop Trust is progressive
and is invariably among the first and
foremost in abe field in the eploita

The Trent Trust Company, linn
tied, is what its name implies, and it
has all the lines usually carried by the
larger concerns of this character. Real
estate, insurance of all kinds, stocks
and bonds, etc, are dealt in on a very
large scale. The company now oc-
cupies very extensive premises in the
city center, Fort street between King
and Merchant.

The capital stock OF the Company
at the start was 100000, and the fol-
lowing officers administered its af-
fairs: President, c. M. Cooke; vice
president, e. A. Mott-Smith; treasur-
er, George r. Carter; secretary, f. G.
Anterior; auditor, c. H Cooke. The
capital stock has since been increased
to 100000, with a reserve of about
$4,000. The company on Thursday
Of this week issued 100000 worth
of new stock-one- half paid, and the
other half as a stock dividend.
The Hawaiian Trust Co., was or
ganized originally for the business
purposes indicated by its name, but
now it is extensively engaged not only
in the trust business, but in real
estate, the handling Of stocks and
bonds, insurance, etc. The present
officers of the company are as follows:
President, E. D. Tenney, vice presi-
dent, c. H. Cooke; treasurer and ma
mayer, J. r. Gait; secretary, L. A.
Abrams; auditor, w. W. North.
The insurance department now oc-
cupies alone a new building in the
rear, and is in charge of H. B. Mar
riner; the real estate part of the
business is in charge of ]. E. O'Con-
ner, and H. H. Walker looks after
the stocks and bonds.

which the company has grown, may
be gathered from the fact that at the

So successful was the branch, how
ever, and so remarkable its expansion
that home of its own became desir-
able.
A valuable piece of land at the cor
ner of Bethel and Merchant streets
was secured, and on this one of the
handsomest buildings of Honolulu
was erected, the opening occurring
during the present year. The interior
of this building is planned in an ideal
way for the purpose for which it is
intended. Its counters are elaborate
ly finished off in marble and metal,
and everything bears suggestion of
taste and even mXuriousness.
The paid up capital of the Yoko-
hama Specie bank is 24,OOO,OOO yen,
or, approximately, $12,OOOOOO in

of 16,600,000 yen, or nearly S9,000,000
more.

Several pineapple plantations have
been financed and put on their feet
by this enterprising company; and IL

now that Mr. ]. B. Castle is taking
an active hand in the business of the
lumber enterprise, it bears every pro-
mise of becoming a great success.
The Waterhouse Trust Company has

assistance to the Territory in many

the Mahuka site proposition, making
it possible for the United States gov

site on very favorable terms to all
parties concerned.
Probably no enterprises owe so
much to the energy and earnestness of
the Warehouse Trust than the Hilo

A Sweet Grass Tragedy.

A news item from Havre tells a
pathetic story of suicide due to de-
%spondency, the unfortunate being a
young woman who recently arrived
from Scotland to become the wife OF
q we'll known resident of the Sweet
Grass hills. The story says:
Anna H. Laird, wife of James Laird
OF Laird, Montana, in the Sweet Grass
hills country in northern Chouteau
county, committed suicide yesterd ay.
Mr.. Laird ia one OF the largest
woolgrowers in northern Montana,
and is widely known. He was mar
ried in Havre on July 20. last. His
wife had been Miss Anna H. Smith of
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and had
recently arrived in this country.
Mrs. Laird complained of feeling
unwell yesterday morning when Laird
left to look after some sheep business.
Laird did not return until evening.
Not finding his wife in the house, upon
q search being made she was found
hanging in the wood shed. She had
evidently committed suicide by hang.
ing herself. The cause of the suicide
seems to be dependency resulting
from ho~mesickness. She had hardly
been here three weeks from her native
land. Scotland.

Gray, general agent OF the Northwest

weeks absence.
wool in the state averaged l8
cents and a fraction, which, while not
as good as last year, ia much better
than it was thought could be obtained
when the season first opened. The
top price 10 Montana was a triAe over
81 cents and the low notch was ii
cents. An old, crippled Norwegian
had 10 bags of wool, and as luck
would have it, the sample bag that
was opened contained bits of coal,
horn and other refuse. 1t was not the
old fellows fault, but nothing dis.

Damage BY Timber Fires.

M1ssoULA, Aug. 4.-The general
forest fire situation In western Mon
tans and Idaho today remains about
the SAM as yesterday, q number of
fires having been controlled during
the night and this morning only q few
lev outbreaks were reported. A good
rain about the Seeley Lake district
was reported by Supervisor Kinney
this morning and the fire there is now
practices ally extinguished.
The efforts of the forest officials here
to secure reliable reports and data
concerning the fires resulted in some
large and interesting figures being
given out here today, which speaks of
the terrible damage and much danger
yet for foresters. The figures are
based on reports received from the
supervisors of every forest with the
exception of the Occur d'Alene and
Clearwater where the damage could
not be estimated, up to today. In
other forests, however, within field
district No. l, it 10 shown that today
there are 1900 men still employed in
fighting the flames. An area of II. $50
acres of government holdings has
been burned over with an estimated
damage of 900, 600 and the cost OF
fighting the fires in this district up to
today has been . 5 5000.
OF private holdings to date there has
been an area of 20,520 acres burned
and q resulting damage of sl05, 900.
In Glacier national park there were
5000 acres of land burned aver and
l5O, 000, 600 feet of timber destroyed.
