The .foregoing officers were installed at the annual anniversary meeting of t , me x. ai. j. jast evening. inerei was some aeiay in tne opening or tne exercises for the reason that the light had been cut off. A man was called - tt r, , , i. from the Hawaiian Company's plant and made the necessary connection. An employe of the Government sta- tion had made the cut-out under the imWpS5inn that rh hii wn nnt tn be used. There was a very large at tendance. The audience included leading business men and religious workers. A great many young men were present. An opening prayer was offered by Rev. T. D. Garvin, pastor of the Christ- lan ciaurcn. isext was a trio with mandolins in the hands of Messrs. Marx and Frazier and Mr. Halstead wrtti nisgurtar. a. b. Wood made a few remarks as a welcome to those who had shown by their coming an interest in the 'Association. Mrs. Wocdward sang charmingly and Misa Johnson delighted all with a man'do- lin solo. Mr. Marx was ciever in d very pleasing violin solo. 'A most interesting feature of the evening was the sale of pictures with Harry Armitage as auctioneer and Messrs. Weedon and Coleman as as sistants. The pictures were high lass prints by. the leading illutrators of the day. The first to go was a Gibson to E. A. Jones for $5. Others prominent in ibuying were C. B. Ripley, Justice Frear, W. R. Castle, Fred. J. Lowrey, Dr. C. B. High, Dr. Garvin and iseverai ladies. Refreshments were served during the sale. In accepting the post "of the presi dency, Mr. Weedon made quite an ex tended address. 'He was proud td reach the position after having been a charter member of the Association when it was organized 29 years ago. Following are extracts from the ad dress of the new president: "Our work lies specifically with young men. ihe i. m. (j. .Associa- tion, as an institution occupies a most unique position in the world today; and our home institution occupies the same relative position in Honolulu. It stands mid-way between the church and the -world. No other society or institution occupies such ground; for while its genius is to reach out after young men. to 'throw out the 'Life Line,' 'lower the Life Boat,' to rescue, lift up, elevate and ennoble, and to set young men in the pathway of true manhood: its loftier aim and grander mission is, to bring tihem as the Sons at the Lord God Almighty; and this work, largely neglected and overlooked by the church proper has fallen into the hands and become the legitimate work of the Y. M. C. Association. "The time has long since past when the efforts to reclaim man should be expended only upon his religious na ture. To attain our greatest useful ness we must provide for the Social, Physical, Intellectual - and Spiritual wants of young men, and clear away the debris which often prevents the building of a stalwart Christian char acter.. "Our social efforts should receive every support, fcr this is part of the work the church has slighted; in this direction let us develop our abilities and utilize all our facilities. "With each step we increase the re sponsibility and approach nearer the real man. In the work of imparting sound knowledge and instruction to Thousands of young men who have left home and have entered upon their life's struggle for a place in the world, the Y. M. C. A. is doing a grand work, second to none. Classes and lectures are brought within the reach of the bum-blest, and the young man, who to day, does not avail himself of them is either indolent or a wilful time spend thrift. The educational work of our institution is in faithful hands and your committee will not only seek to maintain tne high standard in its va rious branches as heretofor, but to en large the scope in instruction and lec tures that our halls and rooms be fully utilized, so that no young man in this community can have an excuse to say there was no opportunity to attain knowledge, or utter the complaint, "no man cared for my soul." Subjoined are reviews of the various reports read by the chairmen in the course cf the evening: PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT. "The past year has witnessed many changed conditions in the work of the Y. M. C. A. and we have found our selves constantly itacing new prob lems. This, however, ihas rather given zest to our labor, and in surmounting 'difficulties we have attained -a. wider range of vision." Comment is made on the many new faces that appear in the various rooms of the Association and the assurance i3 given that all visitors are always welcome an'd are invited to assume a ishare of the general responsibility and to lend their activity. There is mentioned the new plan ,VVUILU sepwaies iu wux ui lue uneu tors ana me committees ana tne worK , , . . of the departure is endorsed. ,xhe aim of the Association has been I and is to interest and engage as many men s possible, and as interests are I 'SO diversified, we have endeavored! , , . 7 , , alons with our educational, social and reiigiCus work to attract and develop and' interest in clean athletics as we'll as gymnastics, and we have increased, our equipment hy securing athletic grounds to be used in connection with the gymnasium. "While the work has gone on quiet ly, earnest effort has 'been expanded, with no end in view but ennobling young manhood to the point of recog nizing in Jesus Christ, tine perfect man and the acceptance of him as an all sufficient Savior. Christian citizenship is the apple of the Association eye. Sober, industrious and intelligent Ood fearing men are the nation's strength and therefore this "building with all its equipment stands open every day and evening for the benefit of the men of this commonwealth. "Another Association year has come to an end and it is our desire and ex pectation to see the coming year rec- ord many signal successes in character building among young imen. "(Signed). A. B. WOOD." GENERAL, SECRETARY. Here are mentions of the .principal items of the report of General Secre tary H. E. Coleman for the year end ing March 31, 1S98: Visits of Mr. Watt of San Francisco, Will C. Sprigg of Cape Town, Dr. Whit ing of Chicago, W. H. Salmon of Aus tralia, Galen M. Fisiher of Japan and Robt. E. Lewis and Robt. R. Gailey, en route to China for Y. iM. C. A. work. Employment and worlc of the Assist ant Secretary. The membership roll shows 148 new names added during the year. The at tendance at the building has greatly in creased. The Y. M. C. A. Review has been revived. Young men seeking employment have been assisted. A trip was made in May, 1897, to the Molokai Settlement by the Secretary in the interest of the Association. The work of visiting ships in the harbor has been resumed and good meetings have been held. The Sunday afternoon -meetings for men have been very successful. The gymnasium has become more popular. The privileges of the educational classes have been the means of fur ther popularizing the Association. The Association library has been re arranged and catalogued. Many plans are on foot for aggres sive work during the coming year for g men. "We want our men .wtho have assisted and the Lord who has prospered us, and to His direction we commit our every talent of service for the future." PHYSICAL CULTURE. B. F. Beardmore, chairman, furnish ed the record of the work of the physi cal committee. "The year just ended has been one of the 'busiest and most important in the history of this depart ment of the Association. There have been held 1S9 gymnasium classes with an attendance of 2,822, an average of 13 for each class." Mr. Beardmore tells cf the excellent work of Mr. M. A. Cheek, of the leasing of the Makiki League Baseball grounds by the Asso ciation and of "the various successful events conducted. "With a fair amount cf assistance from the Association members we do not see why the com ing season should not be a very suc cessful one, and we sincerely hope that all will do what they can." (Continued on Third Page.) LICENSE BILL Recoiiiienflei By Majority of Jn- diciary Committee. HARBOR QUESTIONS ANSWERED How the Excavator Works For eign Corporations Being Considered. SENATE. Sixtieth Day, April 26. The license bill, under the provi sions of which it is proposed selling beers, ales and wines of low alcohdl'ic strength, is approved by the majority cf the Judiciary Committee. Senator Lyman rendered a minority report in which he gave it as his be lief that the license would encourage and promote drunkenness, a condition which he could not recommend. He said the iblll was carefully drawn and seemed to answer the purpose hut he feared it would be a failure even as Gladstone's Grocers' License measure was a failure in England a few years The majority of the committee, how ever, entered into the subject exhaust tively and recommended several amendments which they hoped would materially decrease the possibility of a frustration of tihe intentions of the framers and the promoters of the measure. The majority say that the bills so guarded that all concerned, 'even the intemperate and his family are fullyprqtected by the. provision of the act." The report states that in the opinion of the majority the provision to permit the right to search the premises of the vendor for liquor without a warrant is constitutional, As in the original bill one license each is permitted for Nuuanu valley, Wai kiki and Kalihi. No license is to be issued in any district town or place in which there is a retail .liquor license in existence. Provision is made so that the act shall not be construed to authorize the licensee to import beers, ales and wines for selling them under his retail license. The recommenda tion is that the sale be restricted to between the hours of 7 a. m. and 1 ip. m. on every day except Sunday. In conclusion the majority say "It fol lows, therefore, that with such a law as this in operation, the revenues o the country would be increased, be sides remedying the evils which we now deplore, when, as it is hoped, the control of such licenses is placed in the hands of responsible residents who have the moral and financial support of the better element of a district." The report was received to he consider ed with the hill. In response to the question of Sen ator Brawn why dredging of the har bor continues by the Government when the matter is in the hands of the committee, Minister Cooper replied that the dredging is in accordance with a deed upon condition made with the Youman's estate. The House bill to prohibit the im-J portation, sale, etc., of merchandise so stamped as to deceive anyone into thinking they are of Hawaiian manu facture, came up with the recommen dation of the committee for second reading. The Attorney-General called atten tion to the possibility of dealers hav ing for sale unconsciously these spuri ously marked articles. The fine fixed in the bill was not lessthan $100 nor more than $500. It seemed to him that an innocent man might suffer. On motion of Senator Lyman the mi nimum limit of $100 fine was stricken out. The bill then passed seconc reading. The majority reported favoring the passage of the plumbing bill. The report was received to be taken up with a minority report which Senator Waterhouse will make later. The House bill to permit the with drawal of alcohol from the Customs House free of duty for the use of the Queen's Hospital passed first and sec ond readings and went to the Com merce Committee. The House bill authorizing the re cent compilation of the Penal Laws by S. M. Ballou passed first and second readings and went to !the Judiciary Committee. At 10:35 o'clock, the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. Minister Cooper presentexi the fol lowing answers of the Minister of tho Interior to questions propounded by Rep. Achi in regard to the working of the odorless excavator during the night time, as submitted by Hon. W. O. Smith, President of the Board of Healtth: 1. "The changing of the work of the odorless excavator from the day time to the night was made February 24, 1S9S, on account of the complaints made that the work in the day time was offensive and undesirable. The death rate in this city has not increas ed since the change of the time for excavating cesspools was made from day to night. 2. "The tables of statistics here with submitted show that for the 33 days from February 24, 1S98 to March 31 last, the number of deaths in the city, among residents of the city was 77 and the number of deaths for the 35 days preceding February 24 tb, among residents of the city was 87. 3. "The physicians and members of the Board of Health ordered the dhange to night work as a matter of experiment, on account of the com plaints made above referred to; and did not have any special opinion upon the subject. 4. "The Board of Health ihas taken no action upon the matter of continu ing, the work at night. As above stated, the change was made as an experiment, and the continuing or dis continuing of it will depend upon the results, taking into consideration all circumstances." Rep. Achi moved that the answers be -laid on the tafble. He had been misled by an evening paper. Carried. Minister Cooper presented the fol lowing answers of the Minister of the Interior ad interim to questions pro pounded by Rep. Wilder: 1. "The Goyernment is filling in for wharf purposes an area of 92,000 square feet, -being a portion of a lot of land conveyed to the Government upon con dition that a certain other area, be longing to the Youman's estate, amounting to 57,000 square feet be filled hy the Government. This is all the Government is prepared to fill in tjhe immediate future. 2. "To the question, 'Does the area now being filled in, cover any ground which, in a recent controversy over the wharf question, in Honolulu har bor conducted in the public press of this city it was contended should be dug out instead of .being filled in. If &o, how much of said ground is being filled in or will be filled in in tihe immediate future?' I would state, If it is understood that the area which it was contended should be dug out i the area between the 'wharves of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser map, then about 65,000 square feet of thi area is being filled, and a portion of that covered by the iwharf in the map is being dug out. 3. "The wharf frontage to be made by filling, already staked out, is 850 feet with a possibility of increasing it about 100 feet with Hess that one half the excavation required by the plan published in the Pacific Commer cial Advertiser. 4. "The cost of excavating to give the 850 feet wharf frontage will be $17,000.. 5. "The amount spent in dredging the Pacific Mail slip, so called, would probably excavate an area of 170,000 square feet, considerably more than that being filled in and would give a wharf frontage of 18,000 feet. This, however, could not be done without acquiring property not owned by the Government. 6. "I am not aware that the pro priety of the filling in of tthis land is in issue except so far as it is covered by the item in the appropriation bill for dredging Honolulu harbor. 7. "I am not aware that any member of the Cabinet has made any public declaration of the intention to maka the fillings in question."
