Government Announces Failure of
Its Efforts to Avert
Struggle.
TO TAKE STEPS IMMEDIATELY
The Plan to Purchase Galleries
May Be Submitted TO
Parliament.

LONDON, February 29.-England is
facing a great coal strike, or new
development in governmental ownership
of public utilities. One or the other
apparently is inevitable.
The government yesterday announced
that its efforts to secure peace and
avert the clash have fallen through and
that all hope of compromise between
the operators and the operatives is at
an end,
1t is said here on good authority
that the government is considering
plan to purchase the collieries at q
valuation, to be fixed later. This, it is
held, is absolutely necessary in view of
the fact that there is but a limited
supply of fuel for the ships of the
navy,
The collieries affected, or which would
be affected, by such move, are in
Wales. 1t is certain that, in this con-
nection, minimum wage scale bill will
be introduced in parliament soon.

with the Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany's lines; my suggestion is to build
a freight railroad from the Eva end of
Queen street and along Queen street to
the old McChesney warehouse (owned
at present by Allen Robinson); at this
point swing on to the wharf front, and
continue to the Waikiki end of the sug-
gested bulkhead wharf, from this line
connect up the new Mauna Loa wharf,
and when the customhouse buildings
are removed continue the line along AL
len street to the Channel wharf.

territorial wharves in the harbor of Ho-
nolulu for the operation of freight cars
to and from the lines Of the Rapid
Transit and Land Company, but all lines

the Territory, and under the absolute
control of the board of harbor COM
missioners.
"The plans / have outlined may strike
you as being radical, but / believe their
adoption will be the best and most eff
fective means of serving the mercan-
tile interests of the port, and the whole
community, and will make the best pos
sible use of the wharfage space at pres
ent at our disposal, and secure for con-
signees of cargoes the maximum bene-
fit at a minimum of cost, of all the
available means of transportation on the
Island of Oahu; and careful investiga-
tion will prove that the whole Of these
suggested improvements can be secured
at very moderate expenditure of pub
lie funds"
Mr. Wakefield added that he believed
the proposed plan would give very fine
system of wharves, which would be a
credit to tie port and make it attrac-
tive to owners of steamships the world
over. He stated that fuel oil was be-
coming recognized as the propelling
agency and it would eventually replace
coal. He recommended that the pipe
lines for oil be installed.
1t was stated by the chairman that
the customhouse is now in the way of
harbor development either with the old
slip plan or the new bulkhead plan. Mr..
Wakefield recognized this, and also stat
ed that the present status of the Ma
huka case did not lend much encourage
ment to the belief that the new fed
eral building would be up for many
years. Until it was built the custom
house would remain where it is.

.FREAR'S CASE TO
REST FOR PRESENT
Political Situation Here Now the
Thing That Troubles the
Administration.
BY Ernest O. walker.
(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)

WASHINGTON, February 15.-Sec-
Rotary Fisher has gone away to
Panama. He will not return for about
twenty-five days. He had no time to
look inside the covers Of Governor
Frear's reply which arrived here the
other day in registered mail pouch,
He took copies of il with him and ex.
poets to read the reply while he is
away from Washington.
It is as plain as can be that there
has been no intention of taking up the
case of Governor Frear for the present.
The political exigencies of the Hawai-
ian situation are much more in mind
with the administration than aught
else. In the mean time, of course, Gov.
ernor Frear continues to hold office and
in the mind of officials here the Gov.
ernors case is not prejudiced here. The
White House wants those six delegates
from Hawaii and win go to any rea.
sonable length to have them.
Everything is said to look well here
for the award Of mail contract at the
| rate of two dollars mile on the out
ward voyage for n route between Sar
Francisco to Sydney, Australia, by way
of Honolulu and Pago Pago. The
Sonoma and the Ventura of the Oceanic
line are now being equipped with facil
tiles for burning oil, so that officials
of the company say these ships car
afford to make that run. Representa-
tive Kahn, of San Francisco, has been
active in furthering the matter and
the advertisement for bids is complet
ed and about to be made. The adver,
tisements must stand for three months
so that it will be into the summer be-
fore mail can go by that line. 1t Is
claimed that with the mail subsidy the
ships can be operated as oil burners
at profit.
The putting of those two boats into
the Australian service again is wei
coined here at Washington, because il
is expected that a large Australian
| trade will be established, or more
properly reestablished, because much
Of the Australian trade that was for
merly with San Francisco, has gone ia
British Columbia since the boats were
taken off But it will also establish
direct ship communication with Page
Page, which is our naval station in
the South Pacific.

Crisis Acute.

LONDON, February 1.-THE acute
ness of the crisis in the British coal
trade is emphasized by the prohibitive
rate of 941a per cent. asked by Lloyd 8
on insurance against national strike.
Both sides in the contest are making
every preparation for war. The coll
liery owners are insuring not only the
collieries but their private residences
as well, The military officers also have
been making enquiries in the coal min
ing districts as to the facilities for
billeting soldiers in the residences, inns
and hotels. Eighty thousand miners
have already handed in their notices
that they will quit work, and on March
l, unless one side or the other unex-
pectedly yields, the country will face
national stoppage which will paralyze
industry and send up the cost of the
necessaries of life to famine prices.
Lloyd s estimate that only two weeks
supply of coal is in stock, although the
railways and other big concerns with
storage facilities are better supplied.
Lloyd's estimate that other big con-
Germs with storage facilities are better
supplied.
The Federation of National Trans
port Workers has pledged itself not to

to be at hand next week, although there
is no indication as yet as to what the
outcome will be,

Rowell Talks.

In recent interview at his home in
Fresno Mr.. Rowell made the following
statement regarding yesterdays meet
ing:
"Whatever sentiment that meeting
develops will doubtless be accepted as
representative of progressive sentiment
in California generally" said he to-
day. PERSONALLY, agree with Gov
ernor johnson that there is nothing for
the California progressives to do but
to get unitedly behind the candidacy
of Colonel Roosevelt. Our recognition
of the changed circumstances which
now render Senator La Toilette I'M
available as candidate does not lessen
our admiration for him. Our sympathy
goes out to him in his sickness, but the
same considerations which impelled the
progressives of California to support
La Toilette in the beginning now call
upon them to unite upon Roosevelt.
"Colonel Roosevelt was not at that
time even passive candidate, and he
and his friends did not wish anything
to happen which might force him into
that position. But the march of events
is beyond thee ontrol of any of us, and
it has already marked Roosevelt as the
one candidate upon whom the pro-
gressives of the nation may unite"

With the first approach OF darkness
Darlington made his way to the shed.
Hidden in the shadow he paused to
listen, and fancied he heard difficult
breathing from within. The door
creaked hideously on its wooden
hinges when he pushed 1t open, but as
1t swung back the last remnant or

object lying prone ON the dirt floor.
He reached down and his hand rested
on a mans booted foot.

Slowly the clearing lifted out Of the

distinguishable; and Darlington
checked the skiff by . backward
stroke of the oars.
"Hello!" he called.
There was no immediate answer to
his hail, and he called again as he
sent the skiff forward. He felt that
he was risking all now.
What do you want?" asked a surly
voice.
"You want Slosson!" quickly
prompted the girl in a whisper.
Il want to see Slosson!" said Car
