BIG DEAL NOW GOING ON SURPLUS IN THE TREASURY IN THE' CIRCUIT COURT 700 JAPS FOR PLANTATIONS ON PORTUGUESE LABORERS JAPAN AT THE EXPOblTiQrt s ;t 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 " On To Mitnll.t, a complete his tory of the Philippine campaign is handled Inclusively by the UUM.H TIN.

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."

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.
