GLAIR BIDGOOD Manager uiiUiuuimiuuiutmitiulMlK AMKND1NM 1111.0 KLKCTItUJ, 1 Senator Ilronn Asked For Franchise 1 to Kukttlhnelr. I Honolulu, March 26. The first matter on the order of the day was the Hilo electric railway franchise. Senator J. T. Brown made a speech against the interierence of the Kohala &. Hilo Railway Co. This corporation was granted its franchise in 1900, hut nothing had been accomplished under it because there were no funds, Mr. Peck had made several trips abroad with out obtaining money to build the road. It was on account of that company's delay that this enterprise was being promoted. He conclud ed by moving an amendment to the committee's recommendations, so as to allow the electric railway 'to run for two miles from the Hilo court house. At Senator Dickey's suggestion he made it two miles from the new bridge. Senator McCaudless read a letter from the Superintendent of Public Works to the Kohala & Hilo rail way Co., notifying the latter of the confirmation of its right of way from Hilo to Hamaktta, which showed that the promoters of that line .had until last October been hampered in preliminaries through no fault of their own. The amendment was further doc tored by Senators C. Brown and Dickey and as amended the section passed. Senator Woods moved to strike out "mails and merchandise." If this railway was intended only for passengers as claimed, it should not be chartered to enter into competi tion with the Kohala & Hilo Rail way. People on the other end of the Island were interested in the matter, being anxious that the other line should not be delayed in reaching them. After remarks by Senator Baldwin and others, he consented to have the clause read "personal baggage and packages." Any motive power except steam was allowed. A fare of five cents within a ra dius of three miles and a propor tionate rate beyond was adopted, also the committee's amendment that policemen and firemen going and coming on duty be carried free, and children going to school and returning at half fare. The company is required to make a substantial beginning in construc tion within two years from the ap proval of the Act by Congress, and to have its line in complete opera tion within five years from the same time. The speed limit within the three mile radius was made eight miles an hour. Track and pole location and con struction are under supervision of the Superintendent of Public Works and subject to his approval. The term of the franchise is thirty years, at the end of which period the Government will have the right to acquire the line at a valuation fixed by arbitration. An amend ment to this provision recommend ed by the committee was passed, providing that after five years the company shall pay 2 1-2 per cent, of its gross receipts each year to the Territory, with the further amend ment that in the event of county government being established this tribute be paid into the county trea sury. High Olllclal Resigns. Washington, D. C, March 26. Postmaster General Payne has re moved James N. Tyner, Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice Department. The charge against him is that he assisted his nephew, Harrison J. Barrett, to earn large fees from illegitimate business house which had employed Barrett to de lay action against them by the Post office Department. Tyner is on old man of long public service who, his friends claim, was deceived by Bar rett. He will resist removal. San Francisco, Col., March 26. Representatives of the Oceanic Steamship Company deny that they intend to cut the passenger rate to Honolulu. The story of a possible reduction had its origin in Hon olulu and was given some credit owing to the financial condition of the company which caused a drop in the quotations of its stock in the local market. UOVAI, SlLVUItWAHK. Rare Set or flute U Subject or Homo HCROlllUoil. At the forenoon session today, the. House adopted the following resolution by Mr. Kcliinoi by a unanimous vote: Whereas, a certain set of silver table ware, together with the chest containing the same, of great value, was presented on or about the year 1874 to His late Majesty Kalakaua by His Excellency the then Presi dent of the French Republic, some of which articles of silver having been lost in later years were replac ed at the expense of his said late Majesty, in or about the year 1882, and Whereas said articles remained in the use and possession of his said Majesty Kalakaua, during the bal ance of His Majesty's life; and there! after remained in the possession of His Majesty's successor, Her Maj esty Liliuokalani, at the said Iolani palace, and Whereas, said articles arc now held in the custody of the Superin tendent of Public Works of this Territory, under the claim that the same belong to this Territory, and were not the private property of His Majesty Kalrfkaua, but because, by fact of such prcs:ntation as aforesaid, the property of the Crown of Hawaii, to which said Territory has succeeded, and Whereas by the death, and under the bill of his said Majesty Kala kaua, his personal property and ef fects became vested in his widow, the late Queen Dowager Kapiolaui, by whose will in turn, all her pro perty not otherwise specifically dis posed of, and including said articles, became vested in her two nephews, the Princes David Kawananakoa and Jonah Kalauiauaole, and Whereas, it is flitting that a pre sent such as that above described, from the head of the great French Republic to the Monarch of Hawaii, should not, under the peculiar cir cumstances and condition of such gift; be claimed or kept by the government of this Territory, but it is proper that the representatives in family and estate of his said Maj esty Kalakai 1 should receive and enjoy the articles so presented to their illustrious relative as aforesaid, therefore. Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate con curring, that the Superintendent of Public Works be, and he is hereby instructed to deliver to the said Princes David Kawananakoa and Jonah Kolanianaole, all and sin gular the articles of silver-ware aforesaid, together with the chest containing the same, taking their receipt therefor, and that this Ter ritory doth hereby renounce any and all claims to the ownership of said articles, and each and all thereof.
