THE TAX OFFICE
ON THE MOVE

The tax Office is today moving into
the Wilder building, where the old
Wilder Steamship Company used 10
be located, at the corner of Queen and
Fort streets.
The old floor has been torn out and
a new one laid, and other extensive
internal improvements have been
made to accommodate the tax office.
The upstairs is still vacant, but it
is understood that the department CT
public instruction may move into it.
The department is considering this,
and one other location, and no decis-
ion has yet been arrived at
Only a part of the tax Office books
and records have as yet been brought
down from the Judiciary building,
and there is still great deal of work
to be done, for the Office has great
stacks of books and documents to be
transported. But the work is going
ahead as fast as possible and the
office will be entirely moved some
time next week.

Postmaster Pratt has received ad-
vices from Washington that the prices

a detailed list being given.
Another change that is made is in
the prices of the printed and the I'M

the ones bearing the words: IF not
delivered in -- days, please return
to -." The imprinted one does
not bear this wording.
Only the prices per thousand are
available so far, but details of the
various. lots, together with the prices,
will be forwarded later.
Take for instance the size 31a by
sic, the size most used. The for
mer price per thousand was one cent
first quality $1124, two cent first
quality, $21.24, and two cent second
quality, $21.12. Five cent first quail
ity were $5124. The respective prices
under the new schedule for the print
ed envelopes are the same, but for
the imprinted variety the figures are

MOOSE SHOW RECEIPTS.

The show given by the Royal Order
of Moose at the Bijou theater last
Wednesday night resulted in quite a
nice sum of money being laid aside
for the building fund of the Kings
Daughters. The accounts have not all
been made up as yet, but Ambrose
Writ states that when all bills are
paid there will probably be between
$3.50 and 5000 net, all of which, ac-
cording to previous arrangement, is to
be turned over to the building fund Of
the Kings Daughters. The show itself
was a good one and everybody who
saw it was pleased, while the Moose
themselves are delighted to be able to
aid the Daughters in getting money
with which to build for themselves.

JAP CONFESSES
TO ARSON DEED

The night before last Japanese
house was burned in Manoa Valley.
Facts which have since developed
point to arson having been COM
mitted.
1t appears that Japanese living in
the valley employed a countryman TO
work for him for a few months. Early
this week he was discharged.
On Wednesday night the working
man called at his old employers
house and started to raise racket
with another Japanese who happened
to be there, the owner of the house
having gone down town.
That night the house was burned
and the Japanese workingman has ad.
mitted to friends that he set the place
on fire for revenge at having been
discharged. He stated that he has
written a letter to his parents in ia
pan telling them of the deed and stat.
ing that he expected to be sent to Jail
for his crime.
The owner of the house only re-
ported the facts of the case to the
police this morning and Chief McDuf
fie left for Manoa this afternoon to
investigate the case.

MOVEMENT OF CUBAN
VETERANS LESS DANGEROUS

HAVANA, December 17.-While
there is reason to believe that the
movement Of the revolutionary veter-
ans for the exclusion from public Of
flee of all men formerly hostile to the
cause of Free Cuba" has not yet run
its course, the agitation seems now
to be presenting a less dangerous as
pect than hitherto. This evidently is
a result of the fact that the veterans,
numerous and well organized as they
are, and having behind them strong
public sympathy, have been able to
bring the government to a compliance
with all their demands.
