The bigger things comprise the filling

portant, and we can undertake it now,
added the chief executive.
Suggestions win be in order" said
the Governor. Congress is to meet
soon, and it would be better to get
things going at once. There are three
schemes and today the low lands will
be touched upon"
The Governor then pointed out on
the maps the lands in question.
The revolving fund was touched up
on and the bad spots were pointed
out
The extension of the seawal and

Of The formation OF a park, with
cocoanut trees planted in it, was also
mentioned.
Governor Frear said that Congress

1t would be good thing to get the
private owners also to fill in their

that belongs to the Bishop Estate.

question that has been handled, since

a hard job to give sewers, etc, to a
place like Honolulu There is an
enormous amount of wet lands. The
casual traveller does not see the vet

land as cheap as possible If they
have to pay more for filling in
swamps, they would rather erect
houses in wet lands.
Many owners are celebrating now
on the matter of filling in land and

ing impressions on the welfare of men
and nations, For instance, he men
toned the excitement over the Lords
bill while they were in London. If the
bill had not passed in the House of
Lords the Liberal government would
have created a hundred or more new
lords, which would have been a very
serious matter. A majority Of the
lords, though, concluded that repre-
sentative government was someth:ns

other Old cities visited, contain I'd
many modern buildings, yet their an
cient remains We're wonderfully well
preserved. He spoke of the cata-
combs, with their tombs and the
grewsome instruments of torture
among the relics kept there, which
told Of harsh means of coercion that
were countenanced by public opinion
in the former days.
Venice was the most interesting
city they had visited. There no room
existed for another building, and th9
palace where the doges ruled were
about as those worthless left them,
save that the wear of centuries
showed upon them in wobbling and
waving floors,
While absent he had received IN
occasional newspaper from Honolulu,
and now and then saw Hawaiian news
in the papers Of places visited. Some
OF the home news Interested him
greatly.
Judge Dole said one of the home
items that surprised him greatly was
the rejection by the Legislature OF
the late Governor Cleghorns devise
of Ainahau for a public park. The
news of yellow fever came to him like
a thunder clap, but some people who
knew Honolulu reassured him by say,

He caused an outburst of laughter
on telling about finding his bananas
cut down on arrival home, adding that
much as he liked bananas he would
rather do without them = long time
than have yellow fever.

PREPARED SCATHING
ADDRESS ON HIS OWN BEHALF

The case of Walter Thurtell, charg-
ed with violating a regulation of the
Board of Health by maintaining ba-
nanas on his premises, was called in
the district court this morning before
Judge Monsarrat.
Defendant appeared for himself.
Prosecuting Officer Cathcart stated
that a case was pending in the SUI
preme court which would test the
validity of the banana regulation, and
asked for a continuance till that case
should have been decided.
He said that he would see that Mr..
Thurtell was notified when he was to
appear in court again so that he would
not be put to unnecessary trouble in
the matter.
The case was ordered put over for
two weeks.

BERT LIGHTFOOT
FOUND GUILTY

Bert Iightfoot was this morning
found guilty by Judge Cooper. in the
old swimming case of violating the
board OF health regulation of last
spring that prohibited any one from
swimming in the harbor or at Wal
lIiki, and was fined one dollar as pun
ishment for the heinous offense.
The matter was apparently up on
demurrer, Judge Cooper having pre-
viously issued an order resembling his
order reserving the question of the
sustaining or oveTruling of the de-
murrer to the supreme court. This
morning he rendered a decision over
ruling Lightfoot's demurrer, stating
that he did not think any great right
of the defendant would be infringed
upon by his so doing
Iightfoot, however, does not propose
to drop the matter merely because the
fine imposed was but nominal, He
stated this afternoon that he expected
to appeal to the supreme court,

There was a gay scene on the
waterfront this morning, for many
people were down to see the big cruis-
ers California (the flagship of Rear
Admiral Thomas), Colorado, West
Virginia, Maryland and South Dakota.
The first division came in yesterday
afternoon, and the second division
this morning. The California is
berthed at the Eva side of Alakea
dock, the South Dakota is at the new
Matson wharf, the West Virginia is
at the foot of Fort street, and the
Colorado and the Maryland are at
the naval wharf.
Rear Admiral Thomas stated that
the fleet would not go to China, as
has been so freely rumored. His or
ders, so far, had been to the effect
that the fleet should remain here four
or five weeks, and then return to the
coast. What the fleet VIII do while
here has not yet been decided upon.
AS far as is known, the boats will
remain at the wharves until Satur-
day, and then it is supposed that they
will take a cruise around this island.
Each ship, it is expected, will go to
Hilo, one at a time, and allow the

In reply to questions she stated that
Mrs. Mcmahon visited frequently at

sometimes came. Everything was
friendly as far as she know between

Concerning the tragic occurrences
.of the evening of September rs, she
stated that she was about six feet
from the fence when Mcmahon came
to the gate. At that time MIR. Ceder-
lof was sitting on the veranda. Nc
Mahon did not attempt to enter but
stood at the gate asking for his wife.
Cederlof got up quietly and walked to
the gate. He said. "Mr. McNIahon, !

afternoon. Why did you do it?" Nc
Mahon said, Il did not insult your

Reclamation
Conference

Shortly after two o'clock this after.
noon there began a very important
conference in Governor Frear's office.
Many representative men, from all
walks of life, were present, and the
deepest interest was taken in the dis
cussion. The matter brought before
the meeting was the reclamation OF
certain swamp lands, which are a
source of danger to the community.
The Governors office was furnished
with a number of extra chairs, and on
the walls were pinned blue prints Of
all the different sections of the low
lying lands of the city

nothing of a definite character can be
given out yet, was the way it was put
on board the flagship this morning
Ii is not thought for a moment that
the fleet will proceed to China from
here on account of the trouble there.
The program may be TO go out for
maneuvers from Monday until Friday
or Saturday. and then come up to the
wharves for the weekend, but wheth-
er there will be one, two, three or
more day cruises cannot be said It
would seem, however, that the pro-
gram now being arranged will take
the vessels away for fairly long
spells, and leave the men very little
time for shore leave. This would
seem to be the case from the fact
that il was not believed possible at
present to arrange any athletic pro
grams. There is very little likelihood
of any inter-heet program of sports
being arranged.
This morning was a busy one for
all the boats. Courtesy calls were
being paid and returned, and there
was a lot of saluting done. General

under these circumstances the advice

it was constitutional, and I can refer
him to books of authority on the sub
ject in which it is distinctly asserted
that one of the uses of vesting the
prerogative of creating new peers in

ity of the recurrence of those evils
which must otherwise result from a
permanent collision between the two

We cannot then doubt, sir, that the
advice we have rendered to the Crown

warranted by constitutional principles
and that we are following in spirit
and almost to the letter the precedent
set by the great Whig statesmen of

not desire to see the prerogative ex-

humiliating to a great party in ad-

accept that defeat as final. They have
only to convince their fellow country
men that they are right and we are
wrong and they can repeal our bill
