Representing Consul Sobr-Who Is Hackftld. ' On a day like Tuesday when tbe largest of the island fleet of Btoamers loaves port for tbo other islands it 'is vory annoyiag to peoplo who havo businoss oa Fort Btreot to bo forced to go out of their way for even a few feot. Tbero was more gonnino kick ing figurately speaking, on the part of people and aotaally, on tho part of horses, at the intersection of Fort and King streets today and particularly this forenoon, than has boon uotioed for many a day. Tbo oauso was the opera tions of a gang of mon on the tracks of tho Hawaiian Tramways Oo. Hern uro tbe facts. In tho first placo thuro were as many as twelveT Asiatio laborore employed in tho work. First they would work awhile along tho track from Fort to tho end of where the digging has been done, about opposite tbo Wnikiki limit of tho Arlington grounds. After working for a little tboro they would walk slowly to the inter section of Fort and King to make Bomo kmd ot a snowing. King stroot is torn up for about Bovonty-five foot towards Kapa lama and carriages wishing to go to tho wharves must mako a very sharp turn around on King, drive seventy-five feet, make another Bbarp turn over the traok, drive Beventy five foot hack toward Fort and then finally turn down Fort. For pedestrians it is necessary to bavo a first class guide and an Alpine stick. To carry eggs is out of tho question Women bavo not attempted to oross today. Tho have preferred to mako the turns like the carnages. Tbo sumo contortionist's triok must be performed if a trip up Fort streot is dosirod. In the event of two vehicles going around the upper corner of Fort and King streets from opposite direotionB, "there is a blookado and ono must go over the pile of rooks and tbe bare tracks or be bumpodfrom behind by ono of tbe tramoars. Tbe laborers are evidently looking to th'oir interests and try inc? to nroloncr their iobs for tbov go through all sorts of unntcessa ry motions before making a single stroke with tbe piokaxe or shovel. With the gang of twelve men it is very probablo that tbe public will bo troated to this deligbuul state of affairs for two or throe days yot and tbore will really be snmo incentive to tho use of tbo oars which are tbe only moving things that can get over the tracks with safety to tbe bones and dis positions of human beings. When tbo work began a few days ago tbo situation was better for croosings over tho tracks were left. Even these bavo been taken away now. If a person in a wa gon outside tho Arlington wishes to got across tbe stieot, ho has a choice of driving out King street for a block in either direction. Either is aggravating. Said a portly man in a vory bad humor this morning: "I never saw it otherwise with tho Tram ways Oo. The peoplo at the head of affairs soora to think that tho whole community must wait for their pleasure. A gang of thirty or forty mon could do the work in a little while. Yot pooplo muBt wait two or tbroo times as long. I really think tbat tbe courts should bo resorted to iu this nat ter. It is outrageous that the Erincipal businoss stroet should o made impnesablo for such a longtb of timo and that too when tbero is not tbo least bit of excuso for it." m m m Throe countries are at prosont laughing over tbo Prodigal Father. N4 Scaffold Has Been Set Up-Only Thing Necessary Is toPut.lt In Place -Others Held at Othn Jail. The reports of Dr. Peterson on tbe Gnlician laborers aro still in tho hands of President Dole and havo as yet not been brought up in Executive council. It is un derstood that tho conteuts of tbejo reports aro very interesting as showing the situation of affairs and contradicting tbe wild reports of oruelty and the like that bavo been circulated from timo to time. Of course these reports cannot bo socured for publication until they have been presented to tho Ministers. The public has been informed of tbe existence of tbeso roports, and has wondered why they have beou kept back so long. For the information of peoplo in terested, and by way of setting forth tbo exact truth, poople have wondered why these reports were not pnbli'ihod immediately after the arrival home from Kauai of President Dolo. Among tho peoplo most anxious about tbo matter is J F. Hack- felil, German Consul, who is now on Tantalus. While he was pre sented with a copy of tbo first re port, early in the year and after the first trouble with the Qalioiaus at OhIiu plantation, he has not yot seen a copy ot the second report and wonders why. E. Snbr, who is acting for Consul Hackfeld during his ab sence from business was seen this morning. "Yen," said Mr. Suhr, "wo are anxious that the reports ,bo pub lisbed and can nee no reason why they should bo held back. Wn have a copyot Dr. ire trrson's first report but 'cannot give it ont for publication since it is a consular matter and a request has been made by tbo govornment that it bo not given out for public ation. "Do you not think you ate in a position to demand, a copy of tbo last report for1 publication Mr. Suhr?" was askod. "I do bolieve that we aro in jastBucha position andfutther niore, I believe that is just What wo will do if tho matter is not actod on in the very near futuro and a copy furnished us. I can see no reason why tho reports should not be published in toto. We certainly want them publish ed but our bands aro tired." ni'N OVKIt AND INJUKICD.

This alliance, in my opinion, is to be b th defensive and offensive. I think tho reason it has not been published to tbo world is that for politiual lessons tho President is afraid to do so." When tho steamer Kauai was at Lahaina ou her last trip to Maui, Parser Simerson had a conversa tion with Manager Kruso of tho Pioneer Mill Oo., Ltd., in which the manager spoke ot tho many improvomonts rapidly progressing on the plantation. In tho first place tbo steam plows and a large gang of men have recently startod to prepare over a thousand now acres for tho planting of next year's sugar crop. This land has nevor been used to grow cane before, but it is as gord for the 'purposo as could bo de sired and can bo very roadily sup plied with an abuudanco of water. At presont tbo Pioneer Mill is not grinding steadily, hut this is on account of alterations and tho addition of six now centrifugal machines whioh wore taken to La hatha by tbo Kauai on her last run to that port. Sevonteon con -trifdgals aro at prosont in com mis'sion at the mill, and when the other six aro in working order it is estimated that tho output of the Pionoer Mill will amount to twonty-two hundrod bags of sugar daily. It is only a matter of a few days before the now machinery will bo in dperation and tbe above largo amount bo produced.

Ono of tbo Commissioners of Agriculturo who wont down tho road a few days ago in tbo interest of tho Board, returned tbiB fore noon after having made a careful investigation of forests from Kaena Point to Kabana Valley. Speak ing of tbo trip tbo Commissioner said : "I was in Hauula tho otbor day when the fire took placo. This was duo to the carolossnoss of some natives, who woro arreted later aud tried at Huuula. They pladod guilty, but fcntunco was suspended. It appears that thoy sot tire to tbe lantaua to burn it off in order to give the stuck a chance to feed.

Tho forests thoro are beautiful and this is all duo to the fact that they bavo but few oattlo." Tho Commissioner will uiaki his roport at tho next mooting of tho Board. New York, August 8. A special to tho Herald from Washington Bays: Somo uneasiness prevails in military circles relative ti tho at titndo of Ohina with respect to the Filipinos as tho result of her refusal to permit the shipment of horBra purohnsrd by nponts of General Otis to Manila on tbo ground that thoy are "contra band of war." While tho Peking Government has not formally recognised lho belligerency (f Aguumldo and bis" follow ors, her announcement that horse are "contraband" in regard ed as daugeroutly near such recognition. Otlicials interpret her action to meau that China holds that this Govornment, in stead of being iiagd in tho suppression of nu insurrection, is involved iu a war an I tint goods purchased by it iu her umpire for 4hu uso of llio Amoricau annv is oonsequeully contraband. This Government has taken no diplo matic notice of Ohiua's declara tion that hordes are contraband. L'ho TJnitod States would vigor ously protost against recognition of the belliuorency of the Fili pino and for Homo time, the au thoritio havo been satisfied that there was uo danger of any of the foreign states gr.intiug bucu reo- ogimion " Repm3VTocoivod"liere 'li&ve shown tbe desperate efforts made by the iMlipiuos to secure recog nition of Aguinaldo's government thoy having gnno so far as to re fueo to permit the releasoof Span ish prisoners unless Spain first recogniZ'-d tbo belligereucy. Because of the great change which would occur iu tho status ol tho Filipinos by recognition of their bolligerency by any nation, and tbe consequent embarrass ment to tbo United States, this Govornmont is doing everything possible to preveut. It is helievq ed tbeso efforts will bo successful at least until tbe result of tho next campaign is apparent. Should tho dry season ond with tho insurgents still in the field, tbe difficulty of preventing foreign recognition will be materially in creased. In somo quarlora there is a dis position to belioro that Ohina has been stirred up to her extraor dinary action by Europan iuter- osts, but sho is regarded as alto gether too friendly to the United States to formally recognize tho Filipinos.
