Combination Seeking to Obtain Control
ot Hawaiian Electric Co. Stock.
Six Hundred Shares Already Purchased by J.
S. McCandless Some Stockholders Id
Electric Co.
There is just now a doal on in
town that involve! thoPeople's lco,
Hawaiian Eloctrio and tho Rapid
Transit companies. Although
the people concerned nro unwil
ling to talk, a few points have
leaked oat. Oao of those came to
light the other day in the publio
ation of tho story telling of the
pnrehase by J. S. McOandless of
600 sharps of stock in the Hawai
ian Eleotrio Go. Further points
have been learned since. A man
who has intimate businpss connec
tions with somn of the men con
corned in the deal had tho follow
ing to say this morning:
"I know as a mntter of fact that
a certain combination of which J.
8. McOindless is one, is trying to
pain control of tho stock of the
Hawaiian Electric Co. ' I have it
from ono or two of thi combina
tion that they have already gained
Bach control. In what manner?
Well, in this way. McOandless
has bought G '0 shares. Now then,
there are a quite a nnmb-r of the
men in the Electric Go. whi hav
stock in the People's Ice Oo. and
they expect these men t join
hands with them.
"Now then there is anothor side
to this qa'stiou. I for one do not
believe that control hat yet been
obtained by tbo combination for
some of those men of ih Eleotrio
Go. who have stock in tho Ice Oo.
will not. join in. Tnore is one
man, a Qerman, who controls
quito a lot of the stock, may Uht
the combination if ho is uot elect
ed proBident of the Eleotrio Oo.
"Now you ask mo what the ob
ject of this is. It is iajt here.
The men fighting for control on
the outside are interested in tho
Rapid Transit Oo. Does it not
look to you as of an attempt is be
ing made to gain control of tbo
"Bu"lj
Hawaiian Eleotrio Oo. so that the
Rapid Trausit Oo can dictate to
the Pain company that is now
putting in doable tracks for eleo
trio cars ?
"You, of course, know that the
Pain company cannot put in
poles, as there has been no right
granted them to do this. Tbo
Hawaiian Electric, People's lco
and Rapid Trausit Oompauies are
the. only corporations that have
each riiiht. Mr. Pain and his
peoplo will have to get their power
f'om uuothor source than thoir
own.
"Hero is another thing to be
looked at. In seven years from
now tbo agreement between the
Eleotrio and Ion Companies runs
out. At that timo the former will
Very probably say to tho lattor,
'PleiiBO move, for wo want to
manufHoture our own ice, as there
is money in 'tho business.' Under
such oircu'uiBtinoes the Ice Go.
Will have to jo to tho expense of
pattiug upa powerhuuse, and then
they will bo lorcod into a competi
tion with the Elodtrie Go., already
poseasing 'everything necessary
to proceed at ouce with the miuu
facture of ice on their owu hook
" I'ho scheme is a deep one, and
I believe that there are two ob
joct, tho ones I have just men
tinned. At all event there ii a
and not n little pornuasivo elo
quence is being used to get certain
parties who aro watching the fight
to oome into tho combination.
"There aro 2500 shares in tho
Eloctrio Oo. To obtain cnutrol
for tho oloution of officers it is
necossary fur tho oombiuatiou to
Becnro 1251 shares "

What Minister Damon Has to Say of
Government Funds,
Bas Not Yet Figured Out What Surplus h
Will Do So As Soon As Hatters For
Hawaii Are Settled.
Following up tho matter of
shortage in the appropriations for
tho various departments of the
government a Bulletin reporter
called on Minister Damon this
afternoon for the purpose of as
certaining the surplus in tho gov
ernment treasury that might bo
put to the uso of tbeBO depart
ments in sufficient sums to make
up the shortage and thereby in
sure them of enough money to
carry on tho work as it should be
carried on. Rephing to the
question of the surplus, Mr. Da
mon said:
" I have absolutely no idea
whatever as to the surplus bnt I
can say that the balance on hand
is between SUOO.OUO and ',8t,WJU.
000. To ascertain just what the
surplus is would mean oareful fig
uring on all the appropriations aud
what has been spout in the va
rious departments.
'I havo delayed doing this be
cause I do not think it necessary
uutil the timo comes when the
Legislature raeots and decides jut
on what kind of a basis wo are to
go on."
"How much do you consider it
stfe to k-op in tho treasury to
meet contingencies liable to arise
under tho change of law noh as the
toe of receipts from the Custom
House?" was asked. m
"To tell'Toirtbe troth, I cannot
predict. Who c n tell what will
happen., What I raijht Bay in re
gard to tbo conditions of today
might be outirely changed six
mouths from now. In faot the
conditions aro changing right

"Yes, I know that money is

caused by tho increase . f work.

reading of a communication from
Washington in regard to Portu
guese laborora destined for the
Islands. Tho communication
states that tbo roports of Mr.
Jones, tho American Consul in
Madoira, wero full of falso stato
moots in regard to the Islands.
Tbo situation was pictured as en
tirely unfavorable for the intend
ing emigrant", as tho Inlands were
under American rule, and had a
territorial form of government.
Their ontranco into the country
would bo illegal in overy p lint.
Consul Jones also wroto tbo
United States Government sotting
down tbe intonding emigrants as
a set of anarchists, and altogether
a bad lot.
Tbe communication goos on to
state that tho Oonsul had boen
corrected by the United 8tates
Government in his misstatements.
Tho matter was roferred
to tho Givernmont horo,
tbe communication having been
received through Speoiil Agent
Sewall. No action has beon taken
in the matter.
Mr. Dole statjd this morning
that-the misstatements of Consul
Jones had created a lot of trouble.
Many of the intending emigrants
bad refused to come ou tho rwpro
touUtiotJS of the Consul and
many more had deserted when the

there are but two hundred out of a

Second Largest Appropriation of Any Country
Ycry Thorough Display of Japanese
Productions and Art.
London. August 5. Few coun
tries will be more thoroughly nnd
characteristically reprosoutod at
the Paris Exposition tliuu Japan.
This newcomer among the great
powers does nothing by half, bo
that it is not surprising tint the
Japanese Parliament has made
the second largest grant of public
funds toward tho expenses of tbo
exhibition of nil the 0 mnttiee that
will bo reprosentod. The original
gruut was for '2,200,000 fraues, but
Mr. Hayashi, the Commisiouer
General, finding that this sum
would be insufficient to cover tho
enormous expensva incurrod, did
not ho-dtato to apply for over half
a million more, which Parliament
imraodiately voted without a dis
senting vote.
Throughout Japan the greatest
desire prevails to msko a thor
oughly effective disply. Ovor 5J00
exhibitors have applied for space,
thonuh not more than half of them
will be nhle to put in an appear
ance, owing to the inability of thD
exhibition to graut sufficient room.
Kashtro Salto, asbisiaut cimmis
sinner, says that the exhibit will,
as much as possible, be conliue'd
to lines which are peculiar to Jap
an, or in which buo particularly
excels. Thus furnituril,ifecoatinn,
silk fabrics and other artistic arti
cles will abound. Tbe Japanese
department of mines is preparing
a complotn collection of ail Jap
anese minornls; the department ol
forestry will exhibit a similar col
lection of all native wjiods and
seeds; the fisheries departmont
will exhibit nn aquarium contain
ing specimens of all fresh water
nab, especially eucb as aro pecu
liar to Japan, such as red otrp
and threo tailed fish. Tho collec
tion of art treasures will bo tha
finest ever made.
