Fairmont ——— HAT NGS IN HAWALL Represenative Bush Says There 1s Troublo Anead and the Queen to Blame, HoxoLuLu, Avril 0.—A significant . spoach was made by Hon. John E. Bush at # moet- ing of the hberai party April7. Bush was formerly one of the opponents of the present regime. He bas been elected to the next legislature as a representative of the liberal or rovolutionary party. In his speech he sai here is trouble ahead. Mr. Wilcox is feared. I%or myself, I have no connection with these so-called revolutions, but if our queen continues to follow the idle advice of a few moneyed men trouble will follow. Our queen is influenced oy a native of the South Sea islands and that gentleman has baflled the policy of the cabinet. Has our queen done a siugle thing beneficial to you Hawalians? 1t is suid the queen has refused 10 s1gu the American treaty. She did that because she kuows she would not bo bene- fited by the treaty aud not Irom love for you. We are jsutified in:expressing publicly our griévance against the queen. That is better that conspiring against her. 1f tho people come to tempt you to join in a revolution regard them as your bitterest ene- mies. Wilcox says he can’t have a new con- stitution without bloodshed. I think other- wise. I believe that if the people of Hawaii have conventions and Bsk the noxt legisla- ture for a mnew constitution our petition would be grantea.

S0 ‘The almost contiuuous rain fall during tho first four days of the woek, with the accom panying mud bayond the paved streets, was decidedly unfavorable to any activity in the roalty market. ‘The best of proberty cannot bo expected to look inviting in the midst of & rain storm. Howover, some business was transacted and negotiations wore gotten under way looking toward still further deals in the future, The fact that real estate dealors are fooling more confidenco in the situation and that they are all busily engaged in some parti lar line, is very good ovidonce of @ renewal of real estate activity. The sentiment is rapidly spreading that Omaba real estate i3 at tho bottom notch and thatthe present is tho time to mako an investment. I'he action of tho bavks in reducing the rato of juterost paid on deposits will have a tendency to forco iMe money into parmanent investments of some kind, and with a good outlook for city property much (_ ‘$is quite likely to go in that divection. "The assertion made a short timo ngo that eastern capitalists, for various roasons pointed out av the time, were looking towara Omabia us an inviting tield for investment is sull further proven by the attention that is voing given to this city by eastern real estato publications.

McCormick, of 158 feet front on Harney streot between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streots. The consideration was $40,000 in cash and foriy-four foct on Iarnam ' stroot, next to the “Wabash cornor.” It is unaer- 8tood that the purchase of this ground is the firststep toward the building ot the finest hotel in the west. Reai estate men express thomselves as highly gratiied at the action of T Be in briuging to the attention of the public the fact that Omaha real estate is good property. Residonts of Dundee place are very much aratified over the openiog up of the motor line, which brings this addition within casy access of the business center of the city. J. J.

TOR A FREFGHT BUREAU. privek Omaha and South Omaha Shippers Organ- izing for Protectio A freight burcau will probably be estao- lishea in Omahn. By its organization it is proposed to abolish the discriminations against the city in railroad freight rates. With a view of establisning the bureau a joint meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms by members of special committees of the Omaba Commor- cial association, the South Omaba Live Stock exchange, the Manufacturers and Cousumers association and the Grain and Coal exchange, The meeting was called to order shortly after 4 o'clock when Cbarles ¥, Weller took the chair. Rulas governing the bureau were read by Joun A. Wakelleld. They provide for a president and an executive committee of eighteen, who iwereto selecta commis- sioner of the bureau. E. E. Bruce was of the opiniov that a com- mittee should be appointed to prepare a con- stitution and by-laws. with instructions to report at Tuesday mnizht's maeting, when plans for the organization will be discussed for final approval of the establishment of the bureau. ‘e committee, composed of Messrs, Fowler and Knox, was appointed, Tu speaking of securing Subscriptions from business men for the maintenance of the or- ganization, Mr. Walsetiold thought tbat the subscriptions should at least amount to §10,- 000 & year for a period of three years, Tho constitution committee was thou nstructed to prepare a subscription paper with its report, Mr. Weller said that the commercial asso- ciation was going ‘into the organization simply for the benefit of Omeha in general, as the merchants had, at present, no griev: anco to speak of. About tho only complaint heard was the 5-cent bridge toll, but he un- derstood that efforts wero being mado to abolish thet. The association belioved in tho proposed organization of the bureau becauso it would bo a graat benefit to the prosperity and welfaro of the city. A. B.
