ARE ALREADY BUSY
DESIGNATING WORK
OF COLLEGE FIRE

81 regret exceedingly the loss of the
teachers in the fire in the girls dor
rnitory.'' said President Grifiths, Of
Oahn college, yesterday, on his return
from Maui on the Mauna Kea. "There
was a great deal of jewelry, dresses
and family mementoes and relics de-
-stroyed that can not be replaced"
President Grifiiths started to work at
once in making arrangements to remedy
the lack of dormitory room for the
girls, it being necessary to find quar-
tiers for thirty girls and twenty teach
ers. 1t is planned to turn Dole Hall
and the principals house into girls
dormitories and several other cottages
may be used for the same purpose.
A committee has been appointed con-
sisting of Walter T. Dillingham; and
p. G. Jones to adjust ,ne insurance and
there will be n meeting this week, be-
sides, to discuss the building plans. 1t
is desired to replace the burned struc-
ture with a fireproof building and the
plans will be laid towards that end, the
late lesson being taken well to heart.
After the fire, some clothes belonging
TO one of the teachers were taken from
a closet in the mauka end of the build
ing, which was still standing. All the
garments were absolutely unframed
A number OF pupils were losers by the
fire as well as the teachers.
The pictures Of Father and Mother
Castle which were hanging in the DOR
mitory building were saved by Edison
IIutehison, Punahou boy, who entered
the building while II was ablnze and
rescued them.

(Mail Special to The Adveriiscr.)
WASHINGTON, July Gi.--The extra
session wanes, as most wise men now
eoneeje, but the worr .cs and the trou.
blus Of a Republican administration
multiply obhging Democrats Of the
house and obliging Democrats of the
senate have written the very last legis.
lative chapter of that story on Cana.
dian reciprocity. That was to help the
Presidelt, Incidentally, but 10 help
themselves politically in particular.
Now they plot mischief of their own
devising. The late July days and the
early August days, at least, win bo oe-
cupied with business that the President
did not have in mind when he called
the new congress to deliberate.
Fine scheming is already afoot. No
man can divine the outcome thereon.
Now that the Canadian reciprocity bill
is enacted into law, divers combina.
tions are forming to get through q
near Republican senate, which probably
could more appropriately be called a
near Democratic senate, the measures
that a Democratic house has enacted
and that are distinctly part of its
widely advertised program. The robust
old Republican regulars are en- the de-
fensive, plotting and planning to pre-
vent the loss of insurgent votes. The
Democrats are just as industrioasly
plotting and planning to keep their own
lines intact and to acquire sufficient
insurgent votes to make at least a ma
ioritY of one

Best Brains Matched.

The best brains of the senate will be
matched in this contest. 1t will prob.
ably be the keenest, hveliest contest
of number of years in that forum of
thousands of hard fought legislative
battles. If there had come such divi-
sion of forces SIX or eight years ago,
the advantage in strategy and tactics
would have been largely with the old
line Republicans, but in all fairness it
can not be said that this holds now.
There are strategists and tacticians
and sappers and miners of no mean or
der of ability nowadays on the roster
of Democratic senators. There are also
shrewd wIttej, long-headed insurgents,
in spite of the fact that senate inslr7
gents have been exceedingly indus
trious this session in demonstrating
their inconsistencies.
One would say, looking through the
field glasses for legislative prospects,
that the extra session of congress Is
due to make up big budget of inn
portant laws before the special com
mittee of senators and representatives
calls upon the President to inquire
whether he has any further commlniea-
tions and before the gavels fall for adj
journment. There will be glory for the
President in having won on Canadian
reciprocity. Perhaps there will be
little glory for the old Republican regu-
lars, but not much.

Glory for Democrats.

1t is quite certain there will be lit
tie more glory for the Democrats of
the holse and probably of the senate,
than for anybody else. The house
Democrats have gotten their machinery
going splendidly. They have acquired
some presidents for well doing and the
pride that goes Herewith. They have
confidence and experience that will
stand them in excellent stead for the
trials of the regular session which pre-.
cedes the presidential election. They
have gotten much of the tariff revision
work out of the way, VIII not have to
bother their heads about it next win
ter, save for few schedules, like
sugar and metals, and can devote them
selves to a big program along other
lines
All this means that about a year
from now the Democratic orators will
be abroad in the land Dragging their
heads off abo1t what Democrats can do
in legislation provided that the next
session is half as successful as the one
now closing has been-and that the
country is yearning for an executive
administration Of the same character,
which only the Democratic party, Of
course, il in position to furnish. If
everything goes nicely for them, it is
not unlikely that the house Democrats
can claim with some show of truth
that the branch of government they
control has done more in the way of
meeting popular demands for enact
ments than any house of representa-
tives for a quarter of century.

Senate Proceeds Slowly.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The finance
committees report of the reciprocity
bill to the senate will feature the be.
ginning of the third month OF the extra
session of congress. The hearings,
which have continued for almost q
month. will close tomorrow or Tues.
day, and on Wednesday the committee
will go into executive session to deter
mine the disposition OF the measure.
Many amendments have been suggest
ed and many more are probable.
Time required for each will determine
the date of the committees report.
In the senate the bill will run q
gantlet of speeches and amendments.
At least 30 senators expect to speak in
opposition, and If the democrats and
insurgent republicans fail to receive
adequate attention as to amendments
in committee, they will seek the first
opportunity to present their provisions
In open senate. No one counts upon
less than six weeks of debate.

Resent Bryan's Criticism.

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Among
members of the house of representa-.
tives, democrats and republicans alike
the dispute over the wool tariff, stirred
up by Mr.. Bryan's attack on the demo.
cratic leaders for drafting q revenue
measure, instead of putting raw wool
on the free list, was the subject OF
lively discussion today.
The answer of Representative I'm.
derwood, chairman Of the ways and
means committee, to Mr.. Bryan's at
tack again brought the feeling in the
party over the wool question to the
front, but the democratic leaders in.
sisted that the caucus would ratify
the ways and means committee recon
mendations and that the bill woulc
go before the house with the party
committed to it.. Though considerable
hot talk is looked for at the caucus,
Mr.. Underwood is confident that his
position will be supported by at least
two. thirds of the members.

immigration Is Reduced.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-When the
government fiscal year ends, June
30, and the bureau OF immigr alton
starts to add up the totals for the past
twelve months it probably will be
found that the United States imported
about $50, 900 fewer new citizens than
it did in the preceding year. In other
words, the number of immigr ants who
arrived in this country in the last six
months of 1910 is not likely to exceed
900, 900. The figures for the prior year
is 1,04l, $50.
The only general reason assigned
for this decrease ia the smaller de.
msnd for labor of all kinds. Immi.
grstion largely is taken as an index
of the prosperity Of the United States.
Thus 1905, 1905 and 1907 represented
the highw ater mark for foreigners who
came here to make their homes. Each
of them passed the million mark, while
1907 reached the high total ofi1 ,235 .349.
Following that we're two lean years,
1908 and 1909, neither of which showed
total much in excess of $50, 900.
Then there was jump of more than
q quarter OF million, and now there
ia another reaction.

School Board Ends Glass War.

HELENA, May 31.-So bitter has
the riv airy become between the senior

school, that the school board, to pre-.

ninety foot flag pole on the high
school grounds chopped down.
Each class has endeavored to M ain.

night for the past week there have
been fights among the pupils when
they appeared to tear down the rival

The climax came Monday night when
a junior, wearing climbers and carry.
ing gasoline torch, burned down the
seniors pennant.
The seniors threatened vengeance,
and to prevent accidents the board
deemed it best to remove the pole.

Roosevelt Reviews Veterans.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-Parades Of
veterans in both Manhattan and
Brooklyn and patriotic exercises in
various parts of the city marked the
observance of Memorial day in New
York. Theodore Roosevelt aud Gov
ernor Dix were the most noteworthy
participants.
Theodore Roosevelt stood beside
Gen. Daniel w. Sickles, the only sur.
viving corps commander of the civil
war, at Grants tomb this afternoon
and aroused Memorial day thropg
to long applause by the denunciation
of "false apostles of peace"
He referred to the days of 1861,
when, he said, the veterans he ad.
dressed defied the lie told In the name
of peace; he voiced his faith in peace
only as the hand.maiden of justice,
and declared that unrighteous peace
was greater evil than war.
$50 far as my voice has weight,
will protest against this country s
making an agreement to arbitrate
anything OF any kind which the coun-
try would not stand for when the tes,
came. For instance, this country
would not stand for arbitration over
the Monroe doctrine, nor would they
consent to an agreement permitting
Asiatic people to come into this coun.
try in unlimited numbers.
