Both Federal and Territorial
Money Will Be Used to Pre-

In addition to the 100000 which the
federal government win expend on

ritory will also expend between $15O,O0O
and 100000 in dredging the harbor

All the slips will have to be dredged,
as many of them have been filling
rapidly. The Haekfeld wharf slips may
also be redredged, as the Matson Navi-
cation Company is taking over the old
Hackfeld wharf, where the shed will be
extended to nine hundred feet in length,
so that two of the company's largest
vessels may berth in the same slip at
the same time and work cargoes.
Bids for Federal Dredging.
On November . bids will be opened
at the office of Major Winslow, Corps
of Engineers, for dredging the harbor
and channel under the federal appro'
priation. All the contractors who are
equipped with dredgers are making ten.

Dredging Company, although up to its
ears with the work at Pearl Harbor
where it has a feet of five machines al
work on the bar, channel, harbor and
drydock, may be one of the bidders
while Hoogs & Belser, who have one
machine already and another yet to be
built, will be in the field also.
About seventy thousand cubic yards
of material are to be taken from the
channel, and from the upper end of the
harbor sixty-thousand yards are to b,

sPacheco's Wild Talk.
M. c. Pacheco delivered an address
in which he voiced the desire Of the
Democratic party to prevent further i'm
migration into this country until the
plantations would be forced to pay ga
living wage" He denounced immigra-
ton as something that would only take
the bread out of the mouths of the
people already domiciled in the Islands.
He harangued generally against the
planters, "who are starving the peo-
'ple,' and stated that the campaign Of

Honolulu Man Aboard.

Although the cablegram received yes.
terday did not state that Melvin Vani-
man is aboard the airship America, he
was one of the crew expected to ac.
company Wellman in his attempt TO
cross the Atlantic. Vanlman was for.
merly resident of Honolulu, an expert
photographer whose panoramas of Ho'
nolulu were sent to all parts of the
world to promote tourist business. He
was the first to obtain panorama pic
ture of the harbor, and this was taken
from the masthead of ship at anchor
in the bay. The camera he used was
built by himself and the picture was
taken from the topmast Of the bark
Gerard C. Tobey. At one time Vani-
man was an actor and known on the
stage as Melvin, appearing with E. II.
Sothern in can Enemy to the King"
In recent interview Vaniman said
he believed the voyage across the At
lantic could be made ip four days, and
six days at the longest. The America
is the largest dirigible yet constructed
other than the largest Zeppelin, but will
lift twice as much as the Zeppelin. He
expressed the opinion that the chief diff
fculty on the trip would be the various
changes of temperature upon the lift
ing power of gas. The America is of
the semirigid type Of airships. The
vessel is built for endurance rather
than for speed, and is constructed so
that it can be taken TO pieces and trans
ported.

Commissioner Of immigration George
B. Billings, the port medical STAFF and
officials of the state board of health
regarding the new and comprehensive
plan for guarding the United States
against possible danger from cholera
suspects coming from Russia and
Italy. This plan contemplates sur
ve1llanco Of immigrants from the in
fected districts to their final destina-
ton in the United States, even though
1t be in a remote settlement Of the
west. Surgeon General Walter Wy
man and his officers have worked
days and nights pertecting the de-
tails and now believe that with the
cooperation of state and municipal
health authorities which they request,
a cholera epidemic in the United
States would be practically impos-
sible.
The new system, which is supple
mentary to the rigorous medical ex-
aminations now made provides for a
registry Of immigrants from Russia
and Italy by the Immigrant inspectors
at each port on the Atlantic coast.

Mr.. Young put eight men to work
