' - .. " i I! xxan W VOL. ;xxxvni, No. 1C. HONOLULU, H. T., TUESDAY, -FEBRUARY 24. 1903 SEMI-WEEKLY. WHOLE No. 24G4. HOUSE OH IXPEHSE QUESTION Matter of Printing Is Taken Up. TT4Kk In earnest was Inaugurated yesterday by the Legislature, though oIf two hours were given to the of the House and Senate. The holiday came in between, but as much iru done as possible, owing to the fact tkst much of the most Important of the legislation has reached the stage of printing; and committee work, Tfcs county bill was offered In the Howse and passed through Its first reading by title, and sent to print. This Important part of the proceeding -will be taken In charge by the House -committee, under the arrangement between the two bodies. The expenses of each body will be kept separate this time, and It was determined at a joint committee meeting this morning that ;tliere should be only one translation made, and that the bill shall then be printed In sufficient numbers to supply the needs of both houses and the expense will be shared equally. There were Informal meetings members of the committees during the half hour after adjournment of . the House, and the rules committee, especially, prepared for action later by asking that each member find from others of his party what Is wanted, so that there may be a new set of rules -framed. Other committees got down to organisation, andi will proceed with -work Immediately.' An old friend appeared in the House when Jessie MakVhal, chairman of the Hone Rule part; Jwas made assistant clerk and began 7ork with Meheula. Aylett introduced his old bill to repeal the laws in regard to segregation and control of lepers, and the regulations for appropriations were offered freely. Both bodies took Interest In their measures for paying expenses. The Senate passed its bill, and the House forwarded Its own, the former carrying 325,000 nnd the later $40,000. When business had begun, Speaker Beckloy said that much delay had been caused at the last session because of the partiality shown some printing houses, which resulted in an accumu lation of work, rendering it impossible that the bills could be gotten through -with dispatch. There was a great deal of work to be done at this session, and -consequently he would Instruct the clerk to call for bids for printing from all the printing houses, so that the printing commltee would have a basis upon which to work, and which would establish a rate for printing. He hoped that the printing would be so distributed that there would be the least delay to the House. Despite the fact that this day wns being celebrated as a holiday in honor of the Father of the Country, he hoped that the House would spend the morning In hard work, and then adjourn. Aylett gave notice of his Intention to Introduce a bill repealing the laws relating to secregntlon of lepers and treament of leprosy. Fernandez presented a resolution providing for npnroprlutlons for homestead roads in Hamakua, the mnln rond. and for school houses. In support of the resolution Fernandez told of the roads needed, nnd the resolution was laid on the table to await the appropri ation bills. Kupihea presented a resolution pro viding for nn appropriation of $40,000 for macadamizing King street from the King Street bridge to Kapukakt, ntya: for 130,000 for the extension of Queen street to Knllhl: nnd for $!i,000 for lighting King strict to Moannlua; and a resolution, which wns ndopted, providing thnt the usual hour of meeting fclmll be 10 n, in.

V9 1 2&S GX33 MIUTIAAEN OF HONOLULU BEAT WORLD Judgment Is Given by Officers of the Regulars. wind, cold for Honolulu, swept THE dust In eddying gusts down across that triangular piece of ground at the Junction of King and Merchant streets that is known, para doxically, by the name of Capitol Square, but not the wind ncr the coiu the dust could keen the citizens from gathering there to see the evolutions of the crack companies of the Hawaiian National Guard In their competitive drill for the silver cup that by yesterday's victory has become the property of F Company. A grand stand, for the invited guests, had been built in the vacant lot at the corner of Merchant and King streets, but the people began gathering on the sidewalks that line the square long before any of the favored ones had taken the seats In the stand reserved for them, and by the time set for the drill to begin the sidewalks on both sides as far as the Opera House, and as far as the gate of the Capitol grounds were black with the forms of men, women and children, with a fringe of the brown legs of barefooted email boys lining the curb right In front the whole distance, and Merchant, King nnd Richards street's, all opening Into the squure, were packed for a long wny along their length with carriages nnd horsemen and people on foot, blocking the passage of the Rapid Transit curs to Wulklkl. The police, on foot and mounted, with Sheriff Brown In full uniform nt their head, were on hand early to keep the square clear for the movements of the troops, but It was a good-natured crowd, not inclined to infringe upon the reserved space, and the police were nlfco so good-natured that they did not attempt to keep the small boys out of the high trees around about, and so It was a day of happiness for everybody.

The troops followed the band past the grand stand, arms all a-port as they went by, and under the example of Governor. Dole every Invited guest arose ns they filed by, the gentlemen returning the salute of the soldiers by taking off their hats, Although the show was exclusively; military, and therefore apt to become tiresome, there was a diversity In the I program offerea, and despite a couple of hard showers of rain toward the close of the day, not a spectator gave up his. place while the drill was In progress.

The boys of the guard squud "hiked" around the square like old veterans, nnd the boys wno went on uuiy went wim mo einsuc in tne march than the boys of the pre-step only a soldier can assume who is ceding company had done, but did not himself set free from carrying u line so well and there were some slight ket along a tiresome beat, and sees an- trnces of raggedness In the movements other soldier condemned to take his m masse across the field.

Captain Nuhoia Hlpa's men probably have no superiors, and few equals outside the Hawaiian National Guard Theyj". could be taken anywhere, and would do the Territory credit. ThoJcrowd may or may not have grown tired of drilling soldiers while inc. viiioi, company was on mo neia There 'was no sign of weariness. Nev ertheless, by w;ay of breaking the monotonv.Mis the band struck up while E Coy.pany inarched off the field, a squadi of men from Company H, led by Captain Thompson, came marching down and was out through a bayonet exercise that thrilled the crowd so that a greal cheer ran along Its whole length v;hlle the boys drilled.

That they would do wonderful things, everybody know, Small wonder that the men who drilled ahead of them should have been all but overcome by nervousness.

TURN THEM LOOSE Arizona Wants to Annex Seven Counties of Southern California and Be a State. (ASSOCIATED F&ESB OABJKQKAHB.) MANILA, Feb. 23. Three hundred Ladro'nes under Gen. San Mirjuel captured and released three detachments of, constabulary. Rizal constabulary killed eleven Ladroncs in Luzon. Naval officers aboard the United States Naval Transport Soltcu were shown the above dispatch yesterday and asked concerning the methods of the Ladroncs with respect to prisoners. Sonic of the officers stated that they had heard of Ladroncs making such disposition of their prisoners, although it was to some extent, unusual. The Ladroncs prefer arms to captives. As to Rizal, he4s General Rizal, in command of a division of constabulary in Luzon. Rizal was formerly one. of the most active Filipino generals operating against the Americans, but after falling into their, hands he became their friend and was rewarded by an official position under the Taft administration. It is said he has performed his duties in a creditable and patriotic manner. 0 Arizona's New Scheme. TUCSON, A. T Feb. 23. There is a strong agitation here for the formation of a new State embracing Arizona and seven counties of Southern California. . f This plan is likely to get considerable favor in Southern California where a desire to cut loose from the northern part of the State has been prevalent for years. Southern California has special interests of its own which are often ignored by the North and by the representatives of that section in Congress. Its people arc mainly Easterners who have no traditional, attachment to California as a State. Los Angeles would naturally favor the Arizona move so as to become the, capital of the new State and San Diego would regard it as an assurance of a long-wished for connection by rail with Phoenix and points East making her the seaport for a vast Territory. Local ambitious for Governorships and United States Senatorships would be aroused in both cities. In Arizona the desire to get a seacoast would solidify sentiment in favor of annexing the Southern California counties and getting Statehood at the same time. Francis Sees the King. LONDON, Feb. 23. Today King Edward held his first levee since his illness. President Francis of the St. Louis Exposition was presented and was promised a private audience within the next few days. Later President Francis will visit the President of the French Republic who, i is said, will visit the Exposition in a gunboat following the course of the early French navigators across the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico and up the Mississippi river to St. Louis. 0 A Railway Fatality. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23. A passenger train running out of this city collided with a freight train today. Five mail clerks were killed and there are probably other fatalities. The wreckage is burning.
