Jvj Vhilo there was really nut hius
on the Diamond Head Road contract, in view of the fact that the
rnacl was made two feet wider than the contract called for, yet
such a course was simply following a bad precedent which has
prevailed extensively on Maui, us well as at Honolulu. There is
at present an investigation pending concerning Hana road board
matter.? which has an ugly look on
will probably reveal the fact that with perfectly honest intent and
results, shifty methods of procedure have been adopted in the
furtherance of ends properly to be achieved. Such precedents
ire wrong, as thev are liable, in
lead to fraud.
The Americans havo taught
Kurope, some good and some bad,
selves apt scholars. This is well
the monster linen trust, and it is
Europe to handle the matter of monster trusts. The linen trust is
only the beginning, and a reign of
the principal lines of industry. Later, trusts will be formed which
will not be confined to one country, but which will take up certain
lines of industries in all the civilized countries and weld thenl into
one. This is a bold prediction, with many opposing factors Con
fronting it, but just wait and see.
frf A very interesting nuestion
in the suit between the II. C. & S.
Of course vested rights must be
should have all the water to which
need it. But when the actual needs
the balance of the water should be
the Wailuku Sugar Co., and none of it should be allowed to run to
waste. The cane stalk is the staff of life on Maui, and both law
and equity should combine to foster cane growing so far as it can
bo done.
Possibly Delegate Wilcox has
essity of sending, a republican delegate to congress and he may
bo willing to unite the home rule party with the republican party,
in name at least, provided he can be the represent itive of such
party. There are many republicans who would bo be pleased with
such a coalition, but the "Old Guard" republicans will have none
of it. The "Old Guard" home rulers, led possibly by Senator Wm
White, would also resent such a coalition. What the outcome of
the proposilidn will be is merely a matter of future developments.
i Of cotlrse the news that Lahaina had been named as the coun
ty seat of the proposed new county of Maui, or Liliuokalani, creat
ed quite a ripple of excitement in Wailuku. Unquestionably, a
largo majority of the people comprising the nev county Waut the
county seat at Wailuku, and unquestionably the county seat will
' be at Wailuku, consequently the if ramers of the bill might as well
savetrouble first as last by designating Wailuku as the county seat
of Liliuokalani Countjr. But why Liliuokalani, when lite name Maui
. is in every way so much liiore desirable?
I
jg It is a luulinous truth that
intentoiris in, the world, has proved
making power. A very natural
should prompt them hereafter to assist in the election of men ca
pable of accomplishing something, when elected to the legislature.
As modesty is not a 'cardinal Virtue, however, -we may still ex
pect to see "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread".

8! It is Singular, to ptitit mildly, that the fishing industry in the
waters adja&nt to all the Islands, has been allowed to lay dormant
so long. Half 1 dozen Italian fishermen from San Francisco could
come to fahtlut Bay and make fortunes for themselves, and still
sell fish at a reasonable figure to the local market and lo Honolulu.

sary revenue are to come f ronl with which to- meet the actual run
ning expenses of the government for tho next two years. An
appropriation bill could yet be enacted if the majority of the logis-.
lature would condescend totake advice from those competent to
Instruct them, bin that is hardly to be hop ed for, and the outlookii
decidedly ceruleau.
The attention of Commissioner Jajred Smith is; respectfully
invited to Maui as a promising field of labor for his specialties.'
True, the 'majority of us can tell at a glance the distinguishing
points of difference between a lima bean and -a pumpkin, still-we
have much to learn as to the possibilities lying ttorrr.pnt on Maui,
jtad wo are humble and villing to learn.

iVbung at its head, has been awarded a contract for steamboat

lit-using steam launches, but all.things have- small beginnings, und
?:ho knows but that tho long hoped for is about to materialize.

The Pan-American Exposition
Tho Pan-American may r.ot bo
big some former expositions, but
it will bo more beautiful than any of
them. Tlio exposition Kiln is n com
manding one, containing it.")i) acres
adjoining Buffalo's lovely and expan
sive Delaware Park. In selecting
the Spanish Renaissance stylo of
architecture ns a basU for the Ex
position architects to work upon, the
managers paid a compliment to the
Latin-American countries and at the
same time provided for an effect of
surpassing jrrandcur. Tho style has
beea somewhat modernized in its
treatment, with tho result of en
hanced bcau.y. Color is judiciously
applied to relieve tho staff covered
structures of tho blank monotony
which has characterized former ex
position cities. It is rich, charming,
restful to the eye tho very perfect
ion of color decoration of buildings.
The prismatic splendor has evoked
the term "Rainbow City" lor the
ensemblo of Exposition palaces.
Sculpture will add to the attractive
ness. Majestic statues and costly
groups will adorn domes and towers
and guard the entrances to build
ings. There will be more than 125
groups of statuary in the Exposition
City, the work of the best sculptors
of the country, under tho direction
of Karl Bitter.
The court settings will bo mperK
The principal courts are the Court
of Fountains and Plaza, which form
a north and south perpendicular and
connect with a transverso court
Called the Esplanade.
Surrounding the maiu group of
buildings and bordered with a double
row of trees and grassy banks is a
broad and stately canal more than a
mile long.
In perfect harmony with tho gran
deur and beauty of the buildings and
courts will bo the horticultural ai d
floral embellishments of the grounds.
Rising high above all the other
structures on the Exposition
grounds the Electric Tower is the
first object to arrest the attention
of visitors. It is 3'J1 feet high. The
base is 80 feet square to a height of
200 feet. This base is flanked on the
east and west sidos by colonnade
75 feet hi height, semicircular in
form, which curve toward tho south,
forming a clasp setting for the great
basin of tho Electrical Fountains.
From the fountains to the Goddess
of Light at tho apex tho ToWcr will
be ono mass of quiet beauty by day
and of fiery, sparkling grandeur I y
night. Elevators will lake visitors
to the restaurants upon the colon
nade, where they will have a com
manding view of tho broad and beau
tiful Court of Fountains.
These aro xtho principal features
which will excel al,l,.foiii.er .attempts
of the kind and serve to make the
Pan-Ainerkau Exposition City the
most beautiful spectacle ever pre
pared by ..the genius of inaii for' a
similar enterprise. ., .,
The Pan-American Exposition con
cerns itself, with the process cf. the
countricfe of the western hemisphere
ard the new possessions of tho Unit
ed States. To show tho achieve
ments during the century just closed
and make for more rapid progress it)
the future is the, chief purpose. In
order to realize the ideal in minditl c
various countries must bo drawn ir
to closer relations commercially mid
socially. Tho v golden opportunity
comes with this Exposition wheA tlit-
representative mon of a-h ilu
countries in question will be gathered
together and tho diversified r
sources of the continent displayed.
Such aa international coii''ress of
peoples, exhibits and ideas muit
naeds develop much of good fcr the
inhabitants of the fAtine:it, and
posterity. Itoffeis the chance fr
betters acquaintance, the- acqui?P
merit of new aud useful knowledge,
a comprehension of each other's op
portunitiep .and uecc3!ties, ..tie
settlement or- questions wlncu ' have
too long retarded internat ional tride
in Pan-America and tho laying ot.a
strong anu enouring louiwation lor
in intercourse which 'will be mutual
ly beneficial.
Thej-e are, morij' than 40.0iia.tl00

the pau-American Exposition, und a

Pan-America will be presented iu ail

spirit and character , at the Pan;
r,icrien Exposition.
There will bo no attempt to cover
everything of an art character in
the entire universe; but, as the Ex
position ns a whole is to be devoted
to the achievements of civilisation in
the New World, it will bo the pur
pose of the Fino Arts exhibit to show
the progress made in Pan-America
in the culture of pointing and sculp
ture and the allied arts. The Pan
American Exposition onyht to mark
a new era in w New World und
doubtless will, since it will give work
ers in this Important Held of human
c-tivity a slinuilus -lu-h as perhaps
ouhi bo obtained in no other way
and will dir.'ct the attention of the
great public, of all the Americas in
the most emphatic manner to the
importance, of giving substantial
patronage to the artists and sculp
tors native to our own soil if it is
esired that avt should flourish in
the western hemisphere. In mak
ing up the .exhibit in Fine Arts for
he Art CJallery the plan to be fol
lowed is to secure tho most repre
sentative and excellent works that
have appeared within the last 2.")
years, particularly within the last
decade.' As the opening of the Pan-
American will come at a time when
all of the important annual exhibi
tions of art will have been held, it
will be possible to secure some of the
best works produced within the 12
or 15 months preceding it.
How Funston Did It.
The story of how General Funston
captured Agumaldo i a thrilling one.
Many of the details have been pub-
islied. The !)0 mile march of the lit
tle band through a wild and iuhospi-
ible country to the Philippine chie'-
taiu's ret reat in the mountains was
full of hardship and the only food at
times was a little cracked corn. The
arrival at the camp and the parti
culars of the capture follow:
Ayuinuldii's household troops, 5u
men, in m-al uniform of blue and
white and wearing straw hats, lined
up to receive tho new coiners. Gene-
ul Fuiiton's men crossed the river in
small boats, formed en tho bank and
marched to tho right and then in
front of tho Insurgent grenadiers.
The Tagals entered the house where
Aguinaldo was. Suddenly the Snan-
h officer, noticing that Aguinaldo't
lid was watching the Americans sus
pldously, exclaimed: "Now, Maca-
beues, go for them!"
Tiie Macabebes opened fire, but
heir aim was rather inefi'ective, and
only three insurgents were killed.
On hearing the firing. Aguinaldo.
.vho evidently thought his men merc-
y celebrating Use arrival of the rcin
nrcements, ran to the window and
l.outed: -'Slop that foolishness!
Juit wasting ammunition!"
Ililario Alacido, ouo of the Tagal
tliccrs and an ex-insurgent i.Iajor,
Who was wounded in the lung by the
hro of the Kansas regiment, at the
fcattle of Culoean, threw his arms
around Aguinaldo. e.xelaming, "You
re a prisoner of the Americans!"
Volonel Simeon Villia, Aguinaldo's
hief of Staff, Major Alambra and
thers attacked the men who were
.milling Aguinaldo. Placido shot Vil
lia in the shoulder. Alambra jumped
out of tho window and attempted to
ross tho river. It is supposed he
ivas drowned. Five other insurgents
Officers fought for a few minutes and
then fled, makiiig t'.,eir eseane.
hen the firing began General
r unstou assumed command and di
rected tho attack on the house, ner
ionally assisting hi the capture of
Aguinaldo. The insurgi nt Udy guard
Vd, leaving 20 rifl -s. Santiago Bar
cebna, the insurgent Treasurer, sur
rendered without resistauc-.'.
nen capiureu, aguinaldo was
tremendously fxeited, but he calmed
lown under General Funston's assur
iince that lie would be well treated
iicueral Funston secured all of Agui
haldo s correspondence, showing that
le had kept in close touch with the
jiub-ofticers of the insurrection in all
.parts of the archipelago. It was dis
covered thut Aguinaldo, January
28th. had prot lamed himself dictator,
He had been living at Palanau seven
months undisturbed, except when a
' Ictachm.int of the Sixteenth Iufantry
visited tae town. On that -occasion
the entire population took to the
mountains and remained there' until
the troops retired. Aguinaldo ad
aiitted that ho had come near help
captured u-foru, but ho asserted
that he had never been wounded
adding: "I should havo never been
taken except by strategy. I wa
tompletely deceived by Lacuna
gorged signature."
