COAL, CARGOES FROM NEW-CASTL- E

WILL HAVE TO PAY DUTY

Unless half a dozen ships now en route to Honolulu from New-castle with coal get into port within, the next twenty days, the con-

signees stand to lose a good many thousands of dollars on which the.United States will make a corresponding gain.

On January i6tb next the tariff on foreign coal which was re-

moved a year because of the shortage in the local supply and theexorbitant demand of producers and sellers will again be put intoeffect. The duty was removed only for the term of one year inorder to relieve the coal famine, and to bring about extensive im-

portations of the bituminous product for immediate home consump-tion. The tariff amounts to sixty-seve- n cents a ton and there arcover 15,000 tons of coal on the way to Honolulu from Newcastle.

The vessels now on the way to Honolulu with Australian coalarc the American ship Henry Villard sixty-seve- n days out, theAmerican ship I. P. Chapman fifty-eig- ht days out, the schoonerMahukona fifty-fo- ur days out, the schooner Ariel forty-fou- r daysout, the ship John Ena forty-tw- o days out, the ship St. James thirty-on- e

days out, the barkentinc Andromeda twenty-nin- e days out, thebarkentine Amaranth twenty-tw- o days out and the schooner W. H..Talbot eighteen days out. Most of these vessels ought to get intoport before the tariff goes on again, but it is probable that some ofthem will have to pay duty on their cargo. The Henry Villard andChapman arc making unusually long trips and ought to arrive withina few days. The General Fairchild which arrived Saturday tookeighty-fiv- e days for the trip and if some of the other vessels nowen route require as long a time, Collector Stackablc will collect thesixty-seve- n cents a ton duty on their cargoes.

The importations of coal from Newcastle have been unusually mi the laws nndInrtrp thi nnst ve.ir. riiip. in a nrprir mr.nsnrp. to flip thnt lnSs the Legislature," contending-- "C." .. ... --T - .w- - -- v ,..pj j , Q- -

foreign coal had been exempted from duty during that period. Inconsequence also there will be a rush to get as much coal as possibleinto port before the duty is placed on coal again, although it isdoubtful if any others than the vessels above mentioned can landcargoes before January 16th.

There is fully a score of ships now loading at Newcastle withcoal for this port, but none of them will be able to get here in timeto avoid paying duty.

A fashionable gathering was presentand the ball room presented a prettyscene nt nil times. The otllcers werenot In uniform ns on the occasion ofthe formal ball In honor of AdmiralEvans last Thursday, and, owing to thetwo big battleships being at anchor oftthe channel, the attendance was not solarge as before.

MEHEULA'S

DEMURRER

Question if HouseVouchers Are

Pub. Docs.

Solomon Meheuln's demurrer to In-

dictment for destroying public docu-ments was argued In the Federal courtyesterday. Judge Dole asked counselto flic briefs containing their authori-ties today, as he would like to make Illsruling on Monday next.

The main ground of the demurrer Is

that the Clerk of the Territorial Leg-

islature Is not n Federal officer, henc-- J

Is not amenable to the United Statisstatute under which he Is Indicted.

J. J. Dunne, Assistant District At-

torney, In the course of his argumentagainst the demurrer quoted the Or-

ganic Act where It prescribes that theSecretary of the Territory "shall recordnild preserve pioceed

flurinrr (net. of

about

Raleigh

ship,

The

The

received

that the Secretary must bf necessityobtain the documents constituting such"laws and proceedings" from the Clerkof the Legislature. These were publicdocuments under the Organic Act pass-ed by Congress nnd their custodian be-

fore they were handed over to the Sec-

retary of the Territory was therefore :iFederal officer 'lii that respect. If theClerk destroyed nny part of the pro-

ceedings the Secretary could not recordand preserve them. Leaving out ofview, then, the broad theory that theTerritory was only the creature ofCongress and Its affairs In consequenceof a Federal nature, the attorney forthe United States maintained that theClerk was shown to be a Federal offi-cer. When Congress directed that theSecretary should record and preservethe proceedings of the Legislature, Itmust. havebien with respect to th!preceding body of law which providedfor the protection of public document?.

C. W. Ashford for the defendant called his opponent's argument an "In-genious" one, but claimed that It failedto prove Federal Jurisdiction In thecase. Congress had given Hawaii agovernment more nearly approachingstate government than any other ter-ritory had ever received. If it hnd rep-resentation in Congress with the rightto vote, this Territory's Independencewould be prnctlcally complete. Thsrederal court had no Jurisdiction overoffenses against the Territory. ClerkMeheula was not n Federal ofllclal.What Congress might or must have un-derstood had nothing to do with this In-

dictment, as unfortunately for the enseCongress did not make the Clerk ,lTo rnl ollleJr, nor make the legislativemeoids in Ills custody public docu-ments, within the scope of the UnitedStates statute under which the Indict-ment was found. The vouchers irawnot public documents any more thanmemoranda sent up to the Clerk's dehkby members, containing the matter ofmotions or amendments they might of-fer. Suppose the Clerk made out a,voucher for himself. Was he obliged topreserve It, or to deposit It with him-self?

Judge Dole asked counsel If the clerkof that court, In a matter wherein hawns personally interested.lcould not filea petition or pleading with himself asclerk.

Mr. Ashford stuck a little at this, butwould not admit the parallel.

Mr. Dunne taunted him with refus-ing to recognize that In the same per-son there might be vested personal andofllclal responsibility nt once. The Federal attorney made a short reply to thedefendant's argument.

Mr. Straus for defendant urgedleniency on the of Pulg'syouth, previous good character nndplea of guilty, besides the small amountof money involved. Judge Dolethe mlnjinum sentence of two years'Imprisonment nt hard labor, temperingIt with the suggestion that the pris-oner might, by good conduct, shortenthe term.

Manuel Le Brun, Indicted with Puig,received the benefit of a nolle prosequi.

C. Lorenzen against the steamer Cov-ering was further heard yesterday

In answer to the plaintiff's petitionIn the nbove entitled cause, the defend-

ants severally answering, say:1. That these defendants admit that

each and every fact averred In theplaintiff's petition is true In mannerand form as therein stated and setforth and that their sole authority foracting as Supervisors of the Countyof Oahu Is under and by virtue of thoprovisions of Act 31 of the SessionLaw of 1903, and that the defendant:)have been elected ns Supervisor ofthe County of Oahu In conformitytherewith. ,

2. That these 'defendants deny thatUie said County Act, being Act 31 ofthe Session Laws of 1903, Is invalidor In contravention of nny of the pro-

visions of the Organic Act of the Ter-

ritory or unauthorized thereny, butthese defendants aver and submit thattho said County Act is a valid exerciseof the grant of legislative power madeto the Territory of Hawaii In and bythe said Organic Act of Congress, be-

ing an Act entitled "to provide a gov-

ernment for the Territory of Hawaii,"and that the said County Act in all re-

spects conforms to the requirementsof said Act of Congress.

3. That the said Organic Act ex-

pressly declares in Section 55 thereof,"that the legislative power of tho Ter-ritory shall extend to nil rightful sub-

jects of legislation not Inconsistentwith tho Constitution and laws of theUnited States locally applicable," andthat none of the provisions of tho saidCounty Act are inconsistent with theConstitution or with any law of thoUnited Stntes locally applicable.

4. And further, that the said Act ofCongress expressly declares In SectionC6 thereof "that tho legislature maycreate counties nnd town nnd city mu-

nicipalities within the Territory of Hawaii nnd provide for the governmentthereof," and thnt each nnd everyprovision in said Act contained In in-

spect of appointive public boards orappointive territorial olllcinls havingthe care and custody of public propertyor otherwise howsoever Is necessarilyqualified and modified and to be deem-ed ns subordinate to the general au-

thority therein granted for creatingand providing for tho governmentthereof.

D. That this Court having decreed ineffect that the provision in said Coun-ty Act providing for a Hoard of PublicInstitutions Is invalid nnd of no effect,there Is now in local effect but onesubject contained In said County Actand that It does not follow that saidCounty Act Is Invalid in any other re-

S. That the requirement of said Actof Congress tlftit the final passage of abill In each house shall bo by a ma-

jority vote of nil Its members to whichsuch house Is entitled, taken by ayesand noes and entered upon the Journal,Is merely directory and Is not Impera-tive and thnt such requirement may bewaived by either house and when notcomplied with Is conclusively deemedto bo wntved. nnd further, that thosaid County Act havlug been signed bythe proper officers of tho Legislaturennd npproved nnd signed by tho Gov-

BETTER FEELING

BECOMES MANIFEST

There have been signs for some tendays or so of a better feeling betweenGovernor Carter and Treasurer Kepolkal. The Governor held out nn olivebranch to the Treasurer In the shnneof a special invitation to Sir. and Sirs,Kepoikni for the Governor's receptionto Admiral Evans and officers of thesquadron, although the public generally were Invited as comprehensively nsGovernor Carter could do through thepress and otherwise. Sir. Kepolkuihighly appreciated this politeness,

As the Advertiser was authorized tosay some weeks ago, Sir. Kepolkal wasready to resign the ofllco of TreasurerIf assured of being nppointed CircuitJudge of tho Second Circuit, Slaui.

It Is now regarded by friends of bothns probable that Governor Carter willnot only refrain from opposing Sir.

nppomtnicnt to the Judgeship,but nctlvely recommend him for theofllco to the President.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

The glow of the Christinas season to-da- y is spread over all the

earth. The dead turkeys and geese have finished their labors and

arc at rest. The living gobblers swell and the living ganders strut,attended by their surviving consorts, with an apparent consciousness

that, unless caught up on the fourth of July or Thanksgiving Day,

they may last for another year. The mince meat has been made and

seasoned. The plum-ptidditi- are ready for their baptism of heat.

Mouths arc already watering for the good things that speciallyagitate the young, but even in middle age and. in the satiated periodof life, arouse desire and expectation. Bright eyes arc glitteringover the gifts of Santa Claus and Kriss Kringlc and gazing towardsthe kitchen. Even in the open air, under hedges, and in the dingyholes, where poverty breeds and occasionally hopes, the great feastof the year is in progress.

These statements are correct enough for their purpose, but theyarc only approximately true, for the parenthesis of time encirclesthe globe and Christinas travels with the hours, although it ,is notdropped even at the equator. It is, however, so far different to otherfestivals that it is as nearly universal as, under terrestrial limitationsand activity, anything can be, and its shining belts of good-wil- l, ofhappiness and of plenty, move through every degree of latitude andlongtitude. As these lines appear in print, in some places theChristmas dinner is rapidly vanishing and indications of surfeit arcapparent, while, in other spots, the children have barely suspendedtheir stockings and are wide awake in bed. Hut, everywhere onearth, perhaps in other sphered, the Christmas spirit is abroad andthe heart of Man vibrates to the sound of harmony. Even Paganlands arc not beyond this beneficent annual visitation that, for morethan nineteen centuries, has inspired the human race.

Ebenezer Scrooge has repented for the nineteen hundredth andthird time, and is flinging his money about in the ccstacy of his recovered manhood. Tor the nineteen hundredth and third time, TinyTim has exclaimed or is about to exclaim : "God bless us all."Trottv Veck once more has awakened or will soon awaken from hisvision of the Spirit of the Chimes, to sec Richard half smother Mc,gwith kisses. Mrs. Chickcnstalkcr, it may be safely assumed, has al-

ready mixed and tasted the toothsome flip and, again and again,will renew her familiarity with that humanizing stimulant, before theday is gone. Caleb Plummer is again pouring false descriptions ofthe beauties of his poverty-stricke- n abode and pretending to begorged with delicacies, while theblind daughter yields to his wild

eyes,imagination drinks

The trouble with Pearl Harbor is that little capes or spits run out into theentrance channel making the navigable part look on the map like a corkscrew. Itwas upon one of these projections that the Iroquois lately ran afoul. Until thechannel is made straight Pearl Harbor will not be useful to the Navy, but asthis strategic point is it may be assumed that Congress, at theinstance of the Navy Department, will supply the dredging funds.

FRIEND OE

L

Oregon's Com-

mander Herein 1887.

Captain W. T. Bunvell, of the bat-tleship Oregon, was In command of oneof the American war vessels in portduring the revolution of 1887, the firstof tho revolts against King Knlakauuby his people. Captain Burwell ha3a fund of Interesting stories regard-ing his visit during those stirring timeswhen he became one of tho King's In-

timate friends."Those were busy days," said tho

gallant captain to nn Advertiser re-porter. "I used to take my men outevery day for a drill through thostreets. Tho people wouldn't let usspend a cent. Telephones were runout to the ships In the harbor and thetelephone girls were kept busy callingup tho officers aboard. It got to bevery much of a nuisance.

"I remember one incident of the 1887revolution, particularly well. Onenight after midnight, King Kalakauacame out to my ship In a boat, in agreat stute of excitement. After mucheffort he succeeded In awakening meand I came out, not in the best oftemper for being so suddenly rousedout of my sleep. But Kalakauacouldn't be resisted. He told me thenthe reason for his midnight Journey.It seems that some one had posted aplacard on the palace gates threaten-ing to kill the king. Kalakaua wantedmo to land my men Immediately inorder to prevent the threatened assassination. 'Oh, pshaw,' I told him,'that Isn't the way men go about Itwhen they intend to kill some one.They don't threnten to kill a man andwarn him first. Generally they killfirst and tell nbout it afterwards.' Kalakaua wasn't to be pacified by anysuch talk, and he Insisted on beingprotected from tho men who hadthreatened his life. I finally told himthat the best I could do was to takehim to the American consul and so weflnnlly went and wakened him. Thoking repeated the story he had firsttold me. The consul didn't like to berouted out any better than I did, andwas inclined to be a little angry atfirst. Finally ho saw the humor of thething too, and between us we managedto quiet the King and assure him thathe wasn't In any danger.

"King Kalakaua was the most hos-pitable man in the Islands and ourofficers never lacked for anythingwhile we were In port. "We were al-ways welcome at the palace and when-ever anyone needed nny thing specialIn the way of refreshment, a visit tothe palace was all that was necessnrv.Iaukcn, the King's chamberlain, hndchampagne In plenty nnd there usedto be frequent visits to him."

Captain Burwell also told of theKing's fondness for cards and relatedone incident when Kalakaua "played Ina little game of poker at tho boat-hou- se

for a stretch of forty-eig- ht

hours. The lato Paul Neumann nnda local supplier of provisions to shipswere in the game with the King, whichCaptain Burwell was Invited to Join.The King Insisted that tho gamewould be as novel a one ns he hadplayed in, with n king, a lawyer, nbutcher and a naval officer holdinghands.

GILLMORE'S EXPERIENCES WITH TRE TAGALS

Executive Officer of Cruiser Cincinnati Was

Escaped Execution In Wilds of Luzon.

Three years ago today a party ofeight ragged, hnlf-Btarv- ni n, accom-panied by n large number of Americansoldiers were shooting down the rapidsof the Abulug Klver In the northernpart of the Island of Luzon. Theywere on their way to the town ofAparrl where soldiers of the United

J. C. Glllmore, now theexecutive aboard the UnitedStates Cincinnati ljlng In theharbor of Honolulu, and they had Justbeen rescued from the Filipinos afterenduring eight months' captivityamong the savage tribes of Luzon.

The story of Commander Glllmore'scapture and captivity was one of themost dramatic features of the earlypart of the war In the Philippines.During this time the officer was be-

lieved to have or been executedby his captors, but he and hiscompanions, mostly men of the gun

ow- pointing In tho direction theywere going as a guide to the troops lnpursuit, ln the puty wns a civilian,nn agent for nn American brewery,who bad been captured lir the outskirtsof Manila. He took the whole matteras n Joke. Everywhere ho could findn blnnk space, hu wrote, hod rlt-le- n

for him In big white letters, "DrlnlUlnnk's lleer orr the Uoad to II ."Glllmore afterwards learned that theseroadside Inscriptions greatly aided Col.Hare and his men In tracing tho pntty.The first time Col. llnre saw the boorman's legend upon n rock he exclaim-ed: "Very well, I will follow Glllmorennd his party to II If necessary."He came very nenr doing It.

rinally the party reached the wlldnof Luzon. They cntoied apparently In-

accessible chasms. The horses werekilled for food arrd they finally h id tocrawl on hands nnd krrees In placesOn December 1G they reached the plnoInrrens nt tho top of the mountainrange. Two of tho Americans wereovertaken with fever. Glllmore boggedthe Tngnl nillccr to let homo one re-

main behind with them.The officer finally said If they could

not go ahead they would bo shot. TheAmericans looked at one nnother nndthey determined to make n last stand,although unarmed. They gathered

the Invalids. Tiro officer madea motion with his right nrm and theythought their time to die had come.Hut the lieutenant wns taken sudden-ly III with fever nnd the arm motionwas made as ho plunged forward 10tho ground.

After n few days march an orderftiine, presumnblv from 'lino, to exe-cute the prisoners. Then the lleirten-a- pt

At that Glllmore opened his shirt andshowed him his breast. A crucifix hadbeen tattooed there when he wns amidshipman, The Tagal was surprised,and instnntly crossed himself. Glll-more told him any one could have acrucifix to wear around tho neck, buthe had endured pain to hnvo tho cru-clf- lc

had no breakfast. Hclng near a moun-tain torrent they corrstructed rafts ofbamboo and made realy to depart.They went down the rlvor nnd cameuporr more ravages. They rested over-night, believing that they would sure-ly die ln tho morning.

Then they heard a yell, nnd thennnother In a tongue that was strangely familiar. Tho yells camo from Col.Hare's men who had at last fouirdthorn. Then there was feasting orrbacon, hardtack, bean soup and tea.

PROTECTIOH

of urnsVault for the Judiciary

Department AlmostCompleted.

It was Intended to have proved thovaluable records of the Judiciary De-

partment Into the fireproof vault Justconstructed jesterday, but Chief Jus-tice Trear decided that tho Interior oC

the vnult should first be plastered. Thetransfer of documents wns thereforopostponed.

Tho Chief Justice considered thereI

wns danger thnt Insects would workthrough the scums of (he brick wallsnnd attack tho contents of tho vault.Plastering would prevent this. It hasbeen suggested that air ndnrlxture ofcorrosive sublimate, or other poison, Inthe plaster would be a still further assurance. There may be danger of In?sects being Introduced In the old wood- -on cases, which might be averted bysome process of fumtgntlori.

There will not be room for nil of thocourt records In tho vault, which onlyoccupies the rpaco of a former passage-way between the main corridor rs

nnd the rear balcony of the Judi-ciary building. Therefore, first prefer-ence In storage will be given to recordspertaining to title, such as orlglnnlw Ills, the old record books of the Su-preme Court hick to the foundation ofthe Hawaiian Judlclnry Hjstem, etc. Ifthere were means available to providemodern filing caldnets. It would great-ly economise space. As It Is, the cum-bersome old wooderr cases nro to Mieplaced In the vault. The appropriationIs so scrimp, Indeed, thnt the planter-lu- g

of the Interior has to bo done oncredit. ,

An old liw prcscrllied that originalwills and documents relating to title,belonging to tho count! y districts.should be sent to Honolulu for safekeeping. Hut, ns there has rrot beenany fireproof repository for such papers In Honolulu, the law has beentreated rather as a dead letter. It willhenceforth bu respected.

lire vault has lloor and celling ofconcrete supported with angle-Iro-

One side und two end walls? aro ofbrick, the other side wall being tho oldparty-wa- ll of concrete between tho pas-sageway already mentioned and thecleik's office. Irr view of considerabletalk of late about changes lir publicbuildings, the structure Is a fairlygood makeshift for the piptcnt.

GOVERNOR CARTERMAY BE DELEGATE

Tho nepubllcan Central Committeereceived word by the Alameda's mallthat Hnwnll Ib allowed six delegatesto the Itcpubllcau National Convention.Formerly this Territory has had bur.two delegates.

Governor Carter will probably headtho delegation at Chicago. Ho statedyesterday that he would like to go, andthis Is all tho Territorial conventionwill want to know, doubtless, to rnnkpthe Governor's election simultaneouslyunanimous. The convention electedby last year's primaries will be con-vinced for electing the delegates. Ithas until May 21 to act. SW alter-nates are also to bo chosen.

Hesldcs the Governor, Senator Clar-ence L Crabbo and District AttorneyIt. W. Hreckons are mentioned as prob-able choices. Governor Carter saysthat, as Governors of big sovereignStales go ns delegates to National con-ventions, thero could bo no Improprie-ty ln tho delegntohlrlp of the Governorof the little Territory of Hawaii.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT

MAY GO ALONE

Possibly the only exhibit Hawaii willmake at St. Louis will be thut of theHoard of Public Instruction. GovernorCarter, speaking to members of thopress yesterday, said ho would have aconsultation with Commissioner Mao-farla-

and business men soorr afterNew gear's to deeldo on tho wholesmatter.

I'ci sunnily, the Governor was In fa-vor of limiting the exhibit, to that ofthe cducatlorral departmcrrt, whichought In his opinion to bring the entlroexiX'ndUuru within 15,000. It was a.very excellent display arid should standwell ln tho competition for prizes. Be-sides, as It would have space In thoEducational building, the exhibit wouldbe thu Tcrrltorj's "best foot forward."

SPECIAL SESSIONNOT YET A TOPIC

It was arranged ester, day, nt a con-

ference held with tho Justices of theSupremo Court, by Messrs. Matthew --

man and Heineriuny for tho Territoryand Hnrtwell for the Supervisors ofO.ihu, that tiro County Act test ensoshould bo heard on Wednesday next.This will give about a weok of businessdays before January 4, for renderinga decision.

Governor Carter, when asked yester-day whether a Bpeclal session of thulegislature would bo called should theAct bo declared void, answered with.the old proverb against crossing a,bridgo before coming to it. Ho addedthat premature conclusions wcro aptto meet with reversal.

NO WAR WITH EUROPE.

It appears that Secretary Hoot is In

trouble for making a speech to Philip-

pine veterans In which he predictedthat war would soon come between theUnited States and some foreign power.The veterans talked about the speechoutside the banquet hall, much to theembarrassment of the President's warminister and the latter had to makeexplanations. He had not said "soon,"at all. He was only speaking In a"general way." As restated the speechran along In this vein of glitteringplatitudes: "When the time comes,03 we know It will come some timewe do not know when and we do notknow whence, but we know It willcome some time when you (referringto both the army and the navy) arecalled upon to defend our country,you will do It with mutual helpfulnessand comradeship."

This tnlk of a war between the Unit-ed States and some European ponermay be regarded from several pointsof view. There Is quite a strongchance thnt people Interested in build-ing up the Army and Navy to a

status are adopting the tac-

tics of Von Moltke who, whenever hewanted nnother division recruited, gotup In the Reichstag and declared thntwar with France was at hand. Per-haps, on the other side, the alarmistsare sincere in their apprehension otwhat may come of the Old "Worldscheme of trade combinations ngnlnBtus or of our adhesion to the indefensi-ble Monroe doctrine. Hut It Is well. Ingoing over the whole matter, to recallthat the United States has on nlmostIrrefragable guarantee against any se-

rious war In the desire of every Eu-ropean State to secure Its aid againstfrontier enemies. That Is to say, apower like Germnny may not love us;but "if the United States would npplyfor admission to the Drelbund, thusoffering to make It a VIerbund andputting Russia and Frnnce Into acorner where they could do nothingto prevent nn exploitation of the In-

terests of the four-corner- nlllnnce,then there would be no more troublewith Germany, Or, on the other hand,If the Drelbund were to prove ob-

durate, Russia and Franco would glad-ly welcome the United States into analliance with them. So either waymakes our game and If not, there re-

mains an Anglo-Saxo- n Federationngalnst which the outsiders wouldhesitate to levy war' for trade or forany other purpose.

Good statesmanship on the part ofthis country ought to save It from nnyserious trouble with Europe withoutsacrificing nn lota of our nationalhonor and dignity.

MANUAL TRAINING AT PUNAHOU

The engagement of n teacher of man-ual training at Oahu College should bowelcome news to many In this com-

munity. There Is no place In theworld where a sensible and practicalcourse such ns this, In which empha-sis Is laid rather on executive powerand the ability to meet every dayproblems, than on book lore. Is moregreatly needed than In Hawaii. Thiswant has been filled In not a few casesby Individual enterprise; In one In-

stance, a prominent citizen kept theservices of a Kamehameha manualtraining Instructor for two years whilehis son pursued the course; anothergentleman has provided his son withlathe and forge and he is Justly enthu-siastic over the good which, the boyhas gotten even without Instruction; athird who hns long been connected witheducational work has gathered togetherat his home a small clabs of youngchildren whom he has personally In-

structed and directed. The establlah-Jiie- nt

of this course at the College withTi skillful Instructor and all conven-iences places within reach of every onethe kind of a course which has longbeen a regular part of the best schoolsystems In the East.

When It Is remembered that thetrustees of the college are going to nosmall expense In presenting this op-

portunity not only to Its present pa-trons but to the whole community nswell, the enterprise should receive thesupport that. It deserves. If the de-

mand for It in this case Is wide-spread and Insistent, the public schoolswill not be slow In arranging for thesame advantages, lly patronage andJudicious encouragement, nil who havechildren should make sure of the con-tinuance and extension of this vitaltraining of which this communitystands In such great need. All citl-len- s

who are looking to Hawaii's com-mercial, industrial and educatlonnl ad-vancement should give this propositionsubstantial support.

Ever since the time when Paul Jones,having served America ns a fightingnaval captain and France as a

and chevalier, becameGrand Admiral of Russia, the Czar'snavy has had a bad name. Jones ex-posed an enormous amount of corrup-tion In the building and equipment ofsuch vessels and In later years, throughthe Crimean and Russo-Turkl- sh wars,the Russian navy was proved to bomuch less efficient on the sea than Itwas on paper. How matters standnow, remains to be seen; but no one'would be surprised to find somethingunexpected the mafter with Russianlaval vessel 'In ttur'tesfs of action.

DECREASING COTTON OUTPUTI The stendy reduction In the cotton

production of the United Stales In recent years Is resulting in vigorous aimsystematic efforts by European coun-tries to establish n cotton-producin- g

Industry In other pnrt's of the worllwhich shall render them Independentof the United Stntes for this Importantstnple, which has for many yearsbrought more money Into this countrythan any other single product of thefarm or factory. Prior to 1898 the cot-

ton production of the United Statessteadily Increased, and this country be-

came the great cotton producer of theworld, supplying fully three-fourth- s,

nnd In many cases four-fifth- s, of theworld's cotton. In 1898 the crop wasthe unprecedented figure of 11,199,994

bales, and In 1899 had reached 11.274,810

bales. From that period began a re-

duction ot cotton production, the figuresfor 1900 being 9,436,416 bales; for 1901,

10,383,422 bales; for 1902, 10,080,680 bales,and the Department of Agriculturenow announces nn estimate of 9,902,000

bales for 1903. The total value of cot-

ton exported from the United Statessince 1870 Ib $7,339,658,392, and from 1800

down to the present time, Jll.237,926,092.Thus while In nearly all the other

great productions of the country fhyears from 1899 to 1903 have shown usteady ndvancc, that of cotton hasshown a stendy decline. Coal production.- - for example, has Increased from226,000,000 tons In 1899 to 261,000,000 In1902; pig Iron, from 13,000,000 tons In1899 to nearly 18,000,000 in 1902; steel,from 10,600,000 tons in 1899 to 15,000,000

In 1902; copper, from 253,000 tons In 1699

to 260,000 tons In 1902; silver, from sev-

enty million dollnrs' value In 1899 toseve.nty-fiv- e millions In 1002; gold, fromseventy-on- e millions In 1899 to eightymillions In 1902; wool, from 272,000,000

pounds In 1899 to 316,000,000 In 1902:

wheat, from C47.000.COO bushels In 1899

to 670,000,000 In 1902; corn, from twobillion bushels in 1899 to two nnd one-hn- lf

billions In 1902; while cotton hnsfallen from 11.274,000 bales In 1899 to nncstlmnted 9,962,000 bales in 1903.

The effect of this reduction In ourproduction of the clothing nintcrinl forwhich the world relies nlmost exclu-sively upon the United Stntes and

high prices resulting fromthe decrease of production has been nsabove Indicated, a vigorous nnd sys-

tematic nttempt in the European coun-tries having colonial possessions In acotton cllmnte to establish n cotton-produci-

industry In those possessions.The English, the French, the Germans,the Portuguese, the Russians, the Bel;glans In fnct, pnietlcnlly all the Euro-pean countries having territory witha climate which suggests the practica-bility of cotton production are nowactively at work attempting to establishcotton-growin- g Industries In some partsof their tropical or subtropical areas.This Includes, In the case of England,her colonial possessions in East Africa,West Afrlcn, India, the West Indian Isl-

ands, and her possessions on the main-land of tropical America; Germany,her possessions In Africa; Russia, hersouthern territory, which already pro-

duces considerable quantities of cotton;while the Portuguese and Belgian pos-

sessions In Africa are also being sub-jected to careful examination with ref-erence to their cotton-producin- g pos-

sibilities.

THE LOCAL THEATRICAL FIELD.

The Nelll company has not done wellthis time In Honolulu and will not return. As a show town this city is notwhat it was In boom days, but it is bet-

ter than the Nelll receipts indicate.Wardo came while the financial tide wasebbing, but lind full houses and tookawny about $3000 in net profits butWnrde was new. I'erhaps even he couldnot hnve done ho well had ho comethe next year to repeat his triumphs,Honolulu hns just one congregation ofplay-goe- rs ot the better class and thatcongregation must have variety ofactors as well as of plays. In largecities the same star can return annual-ly and find new nudlences to greet himbut he cannot, do it In n small citvwhere there Is little change or growthIn nudlences. Subtracting the natives.Asiatics and some others from thisplace and what Is left Is an Americanand European community of less than10,000, out of which the play-goin- g pro-portion must bo drawn. This Is notmuch but It Is enough to suppqrt ashort dramatic season providing thereaie new stars on the stage; but It willnot respond to the "same old thing" Inthe acting line. Good as the Neills are,our people have seen them too"often;they want a fresh sensation and wouldwelcome nnd repay, for next season,the visit of such a company of pl.iyeisas that of Henry Miller, Mansfield orJohn Drew. AVe do not doubt thnt acanvass of the city would result in nmanager like Mr. Cohen getting a guar-antee for such actors that would satis-fy them and leave a profit for him.

The statement comes from San Fran-cisco that the china used at IolanlPalace In the days of Hawaiian Royalty Is being Imitated there to decelvotourist-buyer- s here. Very likely thisIs the case. The manufacture of relicsnnd curios Is a. business of magnitudethe world over, thousands of tons ofWaterloo mementos having been madeat Birmingham during the past seven-ty years and American relics of nilBorts being turned out in a dozen pla-ces, San Francisco Included. Onecannot be certain of anything butdeath and taxes. As for the dinnertnble souvenirs of the Kings andQueens of Hawaii, tho Governmentlong ago auctioned oft all that weropublic property and these were distrib-uted In prlvnto cabinets throughoutthe city. It is doubtful if any of themever found their way Into the curioshops or if they did that they stayedthere long.

Our unique contemporary, tho Hono."lulu Times, is out with Its Christmasnumber. A subscription to It wouldhave several uses as a holiday gift; Itwould please the recipient nnd help thepublisher, an elderly lady who has goneInto n trying venture with very youth-ful courage and hopefulness. TheTimes, a monthly, Is unlike any otherpaper In Honolulu and Is always Inter-esting; Its editor In one of the moatworthy among all the local workers ofthe craft.

HAWAIIAN GAZETTE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2H, 1903 SEMI-WEEKL- Y.

Ifi CASE OF SIEGE.

The fnct thnt a. Ileet carrying only3000 men enn produce a food famine InHonolulu In two weeks shows to whatextremes the city nnd the Island ,m.ivbo reduced In case of war find a sleg.It Is highly pertinent to'lnqulre whatHonolulu would do lf shut out fromcommunication with the mnlnlnnd forthree or four months? The extremelywealthy would live, of course, but howwould the middle and lower clashes Inthe flnnnclnl scale weather such a con-tingency? The question, Is a seriousone. Independent.

That Is where diversified agriculturecomes In. This paper's advocacy otsmall farming has only Included theraising of vegetables as an Incident,but If war should be threatened Itwould be n public duty to plant everyavailable ncre cf public and privateland not required for cattle nnd fruit,with quick-growin- g food products andto vastly extend the areas adaptableto taro and rice. This, of course, pre-supposes an acquaintance with agricul-tural pests and the menns of fightingthem; also a community of farmerswho could be drawn upon to superin-tend mnrket-gnrdenln- g on a greatscale. Anything like dependence uponcanned food would be futile, especiallyfor the 60,000 Asiatics and the 30,000

helpless Hawaiian. The safety of theTerritory from famine would dependeither on agriculture or surrender to ablockading force.

Rlchnrd Harding Davis's account ofthe revolutionary movement here In1S93 must have been derived from theessays of Jullnn Hnyne. The view Iswholly partisan nnd biased and Iscontradicted by Hie findings of theMorgan commission which went Intothe matter exhaustively. We notethat Minister Stevens Is credited withtho first and over-prom- recognitionof the Provisional Government when,ns a matter of historical verity, and nsthe Morgan report shows, the BritishMinister Resident, Major Wodehouse,was the first to recognize the new re-

gime. That he' tried to back out af-

terwards, did not alter the fact that hehad found the Provisional GovernmentIn recognizable shape at the stnrt. Asfor the "Interference" of the Boston'smarines, no contemporary local Royal-ist paper Imagined such a thing untildays afterwards when they heard fromthe lawyer, one of themsaying while the revolution was Inprogress: "Our friends are needlesslyalarmed; the United States forces arenot Interfering In any way."

The manner in which the Advertisercovered the visit of the fleet lias wonIt many compliments from the navalmen nnd the public. No other historyof the event need be written; the Ad-

vertiser's story, In text and pictures, Istho whole thing. It used to be thehabit here to dismiss even a revolutionwith a column or so nnd there nre nonewspaper files in the city which con-tain an adequate account, from day today ns the events occurred, of therevolutions of 1887, 1SS9 and 1893. In1895 the press asserted itself againstthe prevailing conservatism whichamounted nlmost to a censorship andthe events of the Wilcox 'emeute were"served up fresh." Now every pub-lic occurrence Is properly-- reported andthe most significant ones' find, In thenmple space and pictorial facilities ofthe Advertiser, the only means ofreaching the public In the most effect-ive way.

If Japan means to fight Russia sheIs losing valuable time. Every weekthnt passes adds to Russia's naval andmilitary strength In the Far East, butdoes not materially Increase that ofJapan. The Mlkndo's fleet remainsn.s It was six months' ago, save for the1 urchase of two cruisers, but Russia'slleet Is being augmented as fast aswarships can be sent from the Euro-pean stntlon and ns torpedo boats canbe built nt Port Arthur. Russlnn reg-ulars are being shipped Into Manchuriaby sea and transported there by rail;while the Japanese nre merely recruit-ing comparatively untrained men. Ifthis stnto of things continues, Russia'sposition will soon be Impregnable; andJapan will have the choice between In-

viting disaster to her arms or accept-ing humiliation for her pride.

The need of a naval genornt staff tocollect nnd digest Information Is verymarked. Ten years ago nnd lessAmerican naval men assured us thntwe had the best ships and the bestguns of their clnss In the world; butwhen tho Spanish war came nnd wobought the New Orleans from Englandwe found, to our surprise, thnt herArmstrong six-Inc- h guns were nearlyequal in power to the Amerlenn eight-Inc- h

guns nnd that as a cruiser shewas superior to some of our own"cracks," We also learned from herthe value, In battle, of using smokelesspowder. After thnt development theNaval Intelligence Bureau of tho Uni-

ted States was entitled to a back sentnnd the time came to consider the

of creating a naval generalstaff In Its place.

The Bank of Spain hns received apermanent loan of $10,000. That sumwas deposited there under the will ofthe late Cardinal Esplnosa, who be-

queathed It to "the first Spanish Gen-er- al

landing on United States territorywith an army sufficiently strong toavenge the defents of Cuba and thoPhilippines." In the meantime thofortunate Bank of Spain is to take careof the $10,000 nnd enjoy the Increment.

Several species of reptiles, Insectsand other land Crustacea peculiar toMartinique nre supposed to have beenrendered extinct by the Peleo eruption.Among them Is the themost dreaded snnke of the Antilles. AInnd crab, small frog (Hylodes

a scorpion and hnlry spider,a lizard and several species of bugs,nre also believed to have been exter-minated.

The fleet hns. had a good time, thopeople hnve JiPd n shaking up nnd thevalue to Hawaii of becoming a navaltntlon Is fairly demonstrated.

THE MAUI JUDGESHIP. ,The Advertiser hopes that the Ha-

waiian Bar Association, which hns nohigher duty before It than the Im-

provement and purification of thebench, will hnve something to sayabout the Maul Judgeship when theolllce becomes vacant or before, Ifnecessary. Each Judicial district ofthe Territory deserves the ablest andcleanest Judge who can be had for theplace and no bench should be turnedover to the politicians to fill withsome one who has earned a Job or who,for nny. reason, they may wish toshelve. An ofilce which has the powerof life and death, which can restrainone's liberty and sequester one's es-tates, ought to be regarded as the mostImportant In the Territory ns Indeedit Is In the extent of Its power and thesweep of its authority. A failure tokeep that fact In mind has given Ha-waii some of the worst Judges thatever cursed an American community;nnd now that the survivors of the firstrecruitage are about to be turneddown, we trust that the Bar Associa-tion will nee that a higher standard Isestablished for those to follow.

The Illustrated London News printssome excellent photographic half-ton- e

pictures of Thibet and of Its sequester-ed capital, H'Lassa, whither a Russiannrtlst In Its employ recently made hisway. With the pictures and textcomes the announcement, already hint-

ed at In cablegrams, that the Britishwill invade and occupy the country.This is a move, as a glance at the mapwill show, to protect the northeasternfrontiers of India from a Russian ap-

proach; It will create a British hinter-land which will present, to the north-ern expansionist, a fort In every pass.Afghanistan being asa buffer State and Persia having beenwarned to permit no Russian court-

ship. Great Britain feels that India Is

safe on all sides but the narrow east-

ern one where Its territories adjointhose of Russia's ally.

tion of leaving the vantage groundwhich Japan bids her evacuate whyit Is time for the Insurance on Asiaticwar risks to rise.

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

Tno Official and Commercial Record.The year ends with a hopeful tone In

business circles.The Christmas trade has been the

best known for several years, not onlyin quantity of sales, but a larger pro-portion of cash sales have been madethan heretofore. Doing business oncredit has been the bane of businessIn Honolulu. It should be discounte-nanced In every way possible. Thehabit ot asking for credit grows, and ifcredit Is given generally, It gives of-fense if It Is extended to one man nndnot to another. The giving of crediton small retail sales results In manybad debts. To save himself, the store-keeper raises his price on everything,the result of which is that the cashcustomers not only have to pay theirown bills, but those of the dead beatsaB well. This Is not fair. The credit-seeke- rs

should be made to pay for theiraccommodation by being put In a classby themselves. This can be easily doneby piice-llstln- g goods at 5 per cent,higher than the cash price. All pur-chasers on credit can then bo chargedat the list price, while cash purchaserscan be given a 5 per cent, discount.This will be simply another way ofsnylng that credit-seeke- rs will bocharged 5 per cent, more than pur-chasers for cash.

The grocers and a few other busi-ness houses pursue this policy now.

If It were brought Into general useIt would have a strong tendency tobrenk down the vicious retail creditsystem.

1 THE MESSAGE() BY RALPH

OF THETURNER

1.

Near the portals of a temi-V- s where the wealthy PhariseePrays to God, yet worships Mammon with a blind Idolatry,In the steeple's densest shadow lying black upon the snow,"With two babies, famished, ragged, sobbing, crying to and fro,Knelt a broken-heart- ed mother on a moonlit Christmas night,"Wan and chilled and hunger-haunte- d, vainly praying for the light;For a light that ne'er had glimmered on her shadowed earthly path,(For the very God she prayed to seemed to veil His face In wrath)While the faith pledged at the altar faltered, halted, drooped and died,As the sottish brute she mated drifted drunken down life's tide.

II.From the liquor merchant's mansion Just across the moonlit street.Came the sounds of mirth and music, voice and viol blending sweet:And the kneeling martyr murmured: 'Lord, they know not what they do.Know not that men's souls are bartered for the luring drink they brew;Know not that our baby starvelings die like scab-Infect- sheep,In our damp and draughty hovels where their cattle would not sleep;Know not life and honor's forfeit to a liquid devil's greed,O, 'kind Lord! have pity! mercy! help us In our direful need!Let the Christ descend from heaven there are wrongs that need redressAs of old, O, Heavenly Father, send thy son to save and bless!"

III.With a joyous burst of laughter from the mansion 'cross the wayCame a merry-hearte- d trio to a waiting double sleigh.And the glossyspan of silver grays went prancing o'er the snow,While the sleigh bells rang out merrily to a chime she seemed to know;For their merry Jingle, Jingle, through the crisp December airVocalized a rhythmic story that beat time to her despair.

"See the Jewels how they sparkle In our lady's shell-lik- e ears.And her diamond necklace dazzles your dim eyes;

Ev'ry gem she wears was purchased with a million bitter tears,Ev'ry golden setting's heavy with your sobbing and your sighs.

O, kneel! and thankyo.ur Saviour for His mercy and His core;A

For" tho" lWdcr that" Is empty for your children who repfiie- - "'For tho' blows and bitter curses that he wills ye still shall bear.

Praise Him! for with ancient magic turned He water Into wine!Turned He men to raging devils with the. wine cup's blighting spell;

Made of womanhood a byword flaunted, gibed and scoffed and scorned,Cursed the hapless unborn Infant with a heritage of hell

Is It this for which ye praise Him this the Christ whom yo have mourned,While the choristers carol loudly: 'Peace on earth, good will to men,'

And the war-bor- n human monsters one another malm and slay,If our 'civilized progression' seems to retrograde again;

Lift thine eyes unto the azure, fold thy hands nnd meekly prny.Doubt not he will hear thy pleading for 'not e'en a sparrow falls'

(Save the fowler's gun Is ready or the Frost King's lances kill)And the wind Is tempered surely to the shorn lamb as he calls

Vainly for his dam, snow-prisone- d, dying by the heavenly will."

IV.

Thus the Jangling bells of discord died upon that Christmas nightWhile the kneeling, dying, martyr still kept praying for the light.Then the Joy bells of the steeple through the solemn midnight rang"Christ Is risen Christ Is risen" thus the sweet-voice- d choristers sang,And the dying woman heard them as an answer to her prayer.With her babies closely clasped In her despair.While the fleeting spirit listened to tho promise ere she died,"Qhrlst Is risen Christ Is risen" thus the sweet-voice- d choristers cried.

Near tho portals of a tavern where the drunken debaucheeWorships at the shrine of Bacchus with accursed Idolatry,Lay a maudlin, mumbling "Image of his maker" In the snow '

Ragged, dirty, bloated libel on God's Image here belowDebtor to tho vanished years and shackled slave of appetite,Stuttering Incoherent curses In the pure air of the night.But above the ribald Jesting of the city's gilded hellsDrowning all the drunkards' curses, chimed the sweet-tone- d steeple bells;"Peace on earth; good-wi- ll to men;" "Christ Is risen, dawn Is nigh,And the ancient star of promise lights again the eastern sky."

BRIEF FILED

The Mouldy Storyof Wailuku

Water.

A brief for defendant has been filedby Kinney & McClanahan In the watercontroversy of tho Hawaiian Commer-cial and Sugar Co. vs. the WailukuSugar Co. It contains 103 pages. ThereIs n note of complaint In the followingpassages nt the beginning:

"ThlB suit arises upon a bill for anInjunction. No other relief Is soughtor naked for. Any relief, If granted,must be by wny of Injunction ngnlnstall or part of the acts of the defend-ant which are complained of by plain-tiff In Us bill.

"It Is not a. proceeding to adjust anddetermine the rights of the variousparties Interested In the waters ofthe Wnlluku river.

"It will be noted that the plaintiffhas elected to bring proceedings Inequity rather than before the WaterCommissioner, whoso jurisdiction hasbeen made extremely broad In the mat-ter of determining and adjusting con-

flicting claims to water."It Is claimed that the first question

to decide Is: "Has the defendant goneoutside of its rights?" And: "If ithas not, that Is nil there Is to It. Thebill should be dismissed."

In conclusion the brief submits ns amost significant fact that no native,Chinese or Japanese taro growers hadconnected' themselves with this suit."They hnd abundant opportunity tojoin In, but not one hns tuken a. hnnd.It clearly marks the character of thosuit. It is a suit to break through thedefense of the Wailuku plantation nndto weaken nnd cripple It In soiny wayor other to secure a share of Its water."

LUNALILO ESTATE AFFAIRS.Judge De Bolt confirmed the reports

of George Lucas, master, on the 21stnnd 22nd annual reports of the trustees of the Lunalllo estate and npproved the accounts excepting an overcharge of commissions in the 21st report. The master was allowed a foe of$100. Receipts of last year, includina balance of $3913.SS at the first, were$51,996.20 nnd payments $45,4CC47. Abalance of $3122.75 on a debt owvd byS. F.

BEAUTY AT

Honolulu's greeting Inst night to Ad-

miral Ilobley D. Evnns, his Btaff, Ad-

miral P. II. Cooper, his staff, and allthe officers of tho magnificent fleet ofwar vessels of the Asiatic station, nowmoored In the harhor, was one of themost elaborate and hospitable func-

tions yet held here. Tho wealth andfashion of tho capital of tho Cross-Roa-

of the Pacific was represented.Seldom of late years has such a gath-ering of the Sons of Mars and the fash-Io- n

and beauty of the city received acommon Impulse of plensure, and whenthe last strains of the Hawaiian musicfor the "Good night" waltz floated outover the benutlful roof garden for thereception was given at the AlexanderYoung Hotel the regrets that sopleasant an evening had come to aclose were universal.

Hundreds of Honolulans were pres-ent, and the representation of officersfrom the fleet wns correspondinglylarge, every officer not condemned toduty being there. The display of goldlace and brass buttons was reminis-cent of tho good old times when navalballs were the rage when such func-tions were graced by the presence ofKing Kalakaua, the merry monarch,and his brilliant court. Everywhere,from the stately drawing rooms, wherethe formal reception took place, to thebreeze-swe- Roof Garden und Invitingdancing pavilions, tho uniform of theAmerican navy wns predominant andconspicuous. Throughout, too, therewns apparent the hospitable effort tomake tho officers thoroughly at home,and to make the occasion one of thememorable events of the visit of the

.American fleet.Mr1. H, Wlngate Lake, ninnnger of the

Young Hotel, thtough whose efforts theaffair was made possible, was un-

sparing In his efforts to entertain notonly the officers of the fleet, In whosohonor the reception nnd dance weregiven, but also the Honolulu public,which icsponded to the Invitation Insuch large numbers.

At 8:30 the hotel wns a blazing massof lllumlnntlons, and the beautifuldrawing room In which the officerswere icceived, was made simply at-

tractive by a beautiful American flag.Beneath this ensign the receiving partystood. In the line weie Mrs. II. Wln-g.i- te

Lake, Mrs. Archibald A. Young,Mrs. It. W. Anderson and Mrs. C. C.

on Ilnmm. Shortly after half pasteight, Admiral Evans, accompanied byhis staff, and several of the captainsof the fleet, nnd other ofllccrs, arrivednnd were ushered Into the drawingroom by Mr. Lake nnd Mr. Smith,wheie they were given a cordial wel-come by the ladles. The formal func-tion over tho guests were escorted tothe root garden where they listened tothe conceits given by the HawaiianGovernment band under the leadershipof Capt. Henry Berger, and of the bandof the flagship Kentucky, under theleadership of Mr. Hnusser. The con-certs weie enjojed by a large audience.

Tho guests began arriving before 9o'clock and nt the latter hour tho RoofGarden was crowded. The ladles wereiesplendent In evening toilettes. Ad-mlr- nl

Evans and the ladles of the re-

ceiving party crossed the Roof Gnr-de- n

to the maknl dancing pavilion,where shortly the Ellis Hawaiian Quin-tette Club played and sang for thefirst dance a waltz. Dancing by theprograms wns then onjojed alternatingIn the opposite ballrooms. Betweendances the Roof Garden was muchsought for the cool breezes whichswept It. ,

A pretty conceit of the entertainmentwas a Christmas tiee In the alcove ofthe uiauka linllioom which was dis-played nt the parting of the folds ofa large American flag.

Toward 11 o'clock refreshments con-sisting of champagne punch, lemonadennd dikes weie served.

The olllcers of the fleet nppeared atthe function In tho regulation whitemess Jackets.

THE YOUNG

HEARD

PEARL HARBOR OF NO VALUE

IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION

"Pearl Harbor in its present condition is of no value for a naval

station" said Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans yesterday. "Until the

approaches to the lochs arc straightened out no battleship or cruiser

of the size now in port can enter the harbor. It will cost millions of

dollars to make the lochs available." ,

Admiral Evans visited Pearl Harbor with a party of officers

and town people in the Iroquois on Wednesday. Prior to that timehe was of the opinion that there would be no difficulty in making useof Pearl Harbor. He told an Advertiser reporter shortly after his

arrival that the entire fleet could be taken in, if he found it necessary,but his visit to the place has changed this opinion. i

"As far as the approaches to the lochs are concerned" theAdmiral continued, "it is not available to the battleships and will notbe until the government spends a good many millions of dollars in

straightening it out. It is so crooked now that it wouldn't be prac-

ticable to take even the cruisers, in port now. They are too long andcould not turn in there. It. might be possible to take the cruisers in

with the assistance of" tugs but even that is doubtful."In its present condition Pearl Harbor is of no value as a naval

station and it would hardly be worth while to build machine shopsor docks there at this time. The first thing to be done is to makethe channel available. I don't know what the plans of the Depart-

ment arc in regard to the matter.". . Admiral Terry was reported some weeks ago as having said thatPearl Harbor was not what the navy wanted, but on inquiry he de-

clined. to be interviewed.

OLD MACARTHUR TELEGRAMEXCITES THE JAPANESE

WASHINGTON, Dec. C Much feel-

ing wns aroused nt the Japanese Lega-

tion today over the publication in thenewspapers of n telegram sent to theWar Department In December, 1D00, by(Major-Ge- MncArthur, then command-

ing the United States military forcesin the Philippines, In which he told ofcaptured Filipino correspondence prov-

ing to his satisfaction' that Talgo Hojo,chancellor in full charge of the Jap-

anese Consulate nt Manila, hnd In aconference with the Insurgent leaderTrias advised that Trias Islt Japanto negotiate for the oIuntary contribu-tion of arms and concerning the futuieof the archipelago.

Tho Indignation of the Legation off-

icials aiose mainly fioni their belief thattho publication of Gen. MacAithur'stelegram nt this time was part of ar.attempt to show that Japan, in hertiouble with Russia over Manchuria, '

did nut deserve the sympathy or sup-

port of the United States, for the lea-so- n

thai she assisted or hnd been wlll-- llng to assist the Filipino rebellion. Mr.Takaljlra, the Japanese Minister, didnot hesitate to expiess himself on thesubject, and what he &ald may be bet-ter understood by reading part of Gen.MacAithur's despatch:

"Filipinos repiesented,'1 said Geneial

fBY BISHOP

MncArthur, "that concessions whichthey might be forced to make to Wash-ington would be more agreeable Ifmade to Japan, which as a nation jfkindred blood would not be likely toassert superiority. Consul said Ja-pan desired coaling stations, freedomto trade and build railways. That In-

dividual Japanese have assisted insur-gents, has been more than suspected,but If official Intervention and encour-agement has transpired a new andstrong light Is thrown on the situation

sufficient perhaps to account for de-

fiant attitude of many leaders, espe-cially the wavering policy ot Trias,who on several occasions has appar-ently been on the verge of surrender,and also explains the unjleldlng char-acter of resistance In southern Luzon."

Minister Takahlra expressed greatsurprise over the statements In Gen.MncArthur's telegram. He said:

"This Is the first Intimation of suchan occurrence that has reached me,and, while Gen, MncArthur's statementwas undoubtedly made In good faith, Icannot hut think thnt he was mistaken.But If, contrary to. this belief, the Jap-anese official in question did lenlly netas charged, he was not only guiltyof a gross dereliction of duty, but of awholly unauthorbed departure from thefilendly attitude Invariably maintainedby the Japanese Government and itsolllclals since the Inauguration of diplo-matic relations with the UnitedStates."

(.......ag....,,...)CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS ON THE HOME I

RESTARICK. Y

(j..0.(j.j..Sk.;..V.?..S. 1j.JV(jVW!(jVWjWhat a poor world this would be without Christmas Day! Wnat a

wondeiful nnd rich meaning the season gives to human life. The pictureof the Holy Child In the aims of the Blessed Mother stands for nil thatmakes the homo a. sphere of holy In fluence. As lv looks at the pictureman Is moved to his soul's depths, woman Joins the Blessed Virgin in gladmagnificat, nnd the child's heart Is made to rejoice before he can under-stand what It all means.

Christmas Is tho day of the homo, and family. The home! There Ismuch In this age which tends to disrupt It or to lower its tone. Thereis the idea which so largely enters Into modern thought that elaborate life,with ample means to live well and to diess well Is essential If the family Isto reach a high level of culture and to have weight and Influence. Somany look at possessions as the chief thing U) be desired. Dress, food, ap-

pearance, monopolize so much thought and time and people do not seehow they can do differently.

Christmas Day stands as a living rebuke to the Idea that wealth andelaborate life ore essential to tho production of tho very highest type ofmanhood and womanhood, or the exercise of largest Influence. ChristmasDay Is a living rebuke to the standard ot things. Think of thlsl The mnnwho was the wisest, tho best, the highest typo for all time, tho Onewho has had supremo Influence over the world's thought and life all throughthe centuries, and the One who has this supreme Influence now, this Onewho could have had all the world's riches, He chose to be a poor manand to labor with his hands. The homo of the carpenter, not the palaceof Herod nor of tho High Priest, sheltered the One whom the grentestand mightiest ot men gladly hall as King, as one' who as Renan says, "cannever bo surpassed." Wo need to learn that possessions may Impoverishthe real life, as well as that poverty may embitter It. That the characterof the home nnd not Its possessions give It real and lasting power. Elab-

orate life often engrosses the powers and saps the vitality of body, mindnnd spirit. In the Holy Family we recognlzo the power and charm ofsimplicity. A small house, meager furniture, plain dress, but a completesurrender to God, many a family under such conditions has had thogreatest possible Influence.

What encouragement this Is for those who grieve because they cannotkeep up In dress or style with their neighbors! Whnt a gospel for thoseof "low degree." "The life Is more than meat." Character Is more thanthings and largely Independent of them. Whnt names could wo recallIn our nation's history who havo come from lowly homes, with plain living,but high and holy thinking; who have been stars to guide mankind,nnd upllttcrs of the race.

To me the ono great lesson which Christians ned to learn today Is sim-

plicity nnd sincerity. I havo seen these characteristics again and againIn the homes of the very rich as well as In those of small means.

They are the property of no class nnd no degree. They embrace: Jesus,the ono standard; character, the one real possession of worth; unselfish-

ness, the one controlling spirit. From homes where these are the principlestaught and practiced, there go forth men and women of real power andreal worth. Carry Christmas Day Into every day and all the year that Is

the lesson for us all.IIENRTB. RESTARICK.

WORLD'S FAIR

NOVELTIES

Some of the Things toBe Done at St.

Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. IE. The plnythlngsof the late Queen Victoria, while In theirsplendor and Intrinsic value they willnot compare with the almost pricelessJubilee presents that will be shown attho World's Fair, will appeal to thesentiment of all who view them.

The British pavilion at the World'sFair Is a replica ot the Orangery ntKensington Pnlace, the birthplace ofQueen Victoria. When she was a childshe passed many hours In the quaintold building that was designed morethan 200 years ago for Queen Anne, er

of Brltnln's famed rulers. It washere that Victoria played with dollsand other toys that delight children ifall classes.

When Mr. C. B. Wood, the superin-tendent of construction for the Britishbuilding was making his plans, he vis-ited the Orangery nnd faithfully copiedall of the peculiarities. It was on thesevisits that he saw the toys with whichthe child who was destined to becomeBritain's best loved ruler beguiled hertime. Some of the dolls bore the marksot tho love that the little princess hadjfor her then favorite subjects. Theipaint Is rubbed from the face of one.The nnn of another Is gone, and the leg.nt Clll r..m,1n.. in h tnntni. All nf 1. Ac. A 'Ul oil., uuuutui 411. ui tiic-- i

toys are cardfully preserved, and theyremain Just as they were when Vic-

toria as the child cast them aside.Mr. Wood, after completing the

World's Fair replica of tho Orangery,returned to London, apd he said he wasgoing to make an effort to have the;playthings sent to the Woild's Fair Intheir entirety, nnd they will appear Inthe new Orangery Just as they are Inthe original.

CATALPA A TOREST WONDER.How a forest of extremely valuable

timber may be grown In a score ofyears, and made a source of profit with-in six to eight years, will be demon-strated in nn Interesting exhibit at theWorld's Fair.

This exhibit will be made under thonusplces of .the International Society ofArboriculture. John P. Brown, secretary,and treasuier of the association, hasconsulted with the chiefs of depart-partmen- ts

at the World's Fair and hasmade all arrangements. I

That particular variety of the catnl- -'

pa tree known as speclosa will be the'basis for this exhibit nnd the gieat'value nnd adaptability of this wood willbe shown In all forms. The catalpa is.Indigenous to the Wabash bottom landsIn Illinois nnd Indiana, but mny bngrown In nny section of the UnitedStates. The tree Is known nearly ev- -eviywhcre, but Its gieat value is Justbeginning to be understood. Nearly I

every boy knows the tiee because of(the long nnd slender seed pod, whichwhen dried burns much like tobacco,nnd Is often known as the "lady cigars."

It Is the worth of the timber, andUs mnrvelously quick growth, that isdestined to solve the problem of futuierailroad building and furnish a supplyof lumber for all purposes.

In the World's Fair exhibit a sectionof railroad will ho built showing thoadaptability ot catalpa timber for ties.Old tics, that hae been In use for32 years, und not yet showing nnysigns of decay, will be shown. WhenIt Is shown thnt the nerage life of,an oak tie Is seven years, the catalna'avalue on this lino Is demonstrated,There will bo telegraph nnd telephonepoles that have been In use as long, I

nnd fence posts will be exhibited thatcan bo proven to have been in use for.100 years.

Not nlono for these purposes Is thawood of the catalpa valuable. A prom-inent Dayton, O., car building plnntwill exhibit a section of a palace cai,'all of the timbers of which, Inside andout, nie of catalpa wood. The timberpossesses all of the requirements forsuch work, being strong and suscepti-ble to a line finish. After It has beenplaced In the finish of a palace car ItIs often mistaken for oak, chestnut orcherry. Furniture factories will alsoexhibit fine chairs, desks, nnd otherfurniture made from this wood.

The Arboriculture Society's exhibitwill not stop with showing the varieduses to which tho lumber from thecatalpa tree may bo put, but It .willshow how tho cntalpa forests may bogrown any whero within a very fewyears. The seed Is planted In good,rich garden soil, nnd In a short whilethey spring up. The young shootsshould be transplanted within a year,for the roots reach out In every dlrec-- ltion and the best results are obtainedfrom early transplanting. The treesshould bo set out In spaces of eightfeet In either direction. Tho growth Isexceedingly rapid, being uniformly onoInch In diameter for each year. At theend of tho sixth year the trees have'attained a dlameTer of six Inches. ThenIt In lPk.f fnr fhn fmoq tn tiln lliomout, cutting down each nlternnte row,!and then each alternate tree In therows thnt remain. This leaves thotrees stnndlng 16 feet npnrt.

TESTING THE COUNTY ACT.

Too Official and Commercial Record.

The case brought by Trensurer Kepol-k- nl

to test the County Act has died onthe threshold of the court, on theground that, ns Treasurer, he hns nolegal authority to bring the suit. Therecan bo no doubt that If he had broughtthe suit In his capacity ns a tnx payer,he would have had a standing In court,and It seems to be drawing the linerather fine to say thnt tho man whopays the taxes hns nn Interest In theirdisposition, while the man who has theresponsibility of tlielr care and disposition has not. However, there Isconsiderable in connection with the casewhich does not appear on the surface,The case was brought without theknowledge or consent of either theGovernor or the Attorney General.against another departmentof the government, and It was proposedto pay private counsel for this work, atthe public expense.

On general principles this proceedingwas out of order and, if unpbjected to,would have established a bad precedent.If nny head of a department of thegovernment enn nt his own sweet will,without the knowledge or approval ofnny one else, start suits against othergovernment offleers, employing privatecounsel nt public expense, so to do, thedoor will be opened wide for a Kilken-ny series of law suits, with unlimitedgraft for attorneys who are In need offees. The fourteen members of the leg-

islature who were turned Into lawyersby a magic wnve of the hand wouldspeedily follow up the scent and thecalendars of the courts would soon beoverflowing with official suits andcross suits, while retainer receipts couldbe used as paper currency, taking theplace of clearing hbuse certificates,which are used as temporary stop gapsduring hard times In the EasternStates.

All suits to settle legal questions be-

tween departments should be undertaken only upon full knowledge of theGovernor and through, or with the ap-

proval of the Attorney General. Anyother course will lead to confusionand unwarranted expense.

In view of the failure of the Kepoi-It- at

case to furnish -- the desired test ofthe county act, on Its merits, the HanAssociation has again taken the matterup, formulated a case, and with theapproval of the Governor and the At- -

ftnrney General a Quo Warranto petitionhns been filed, which will bring up tillthe general objections which are urgedagainst the County Act.

The meat of tlife proceeding is the al-

legation thnt tha County Otilcers do nothold their offices legally, because thenet is invalid, four giounds being alleged, viz: '

1. That the organic net provides thatpublic boards shall be appointed by theGovernor, while the Board of Supervis-ors Is elected.

2. Thnt the act takes away from theterritorial officers certain public worksspeclficnlly entrusted to their enre bythe Organic Act, and transfers them tocertain newly created county officers,thereby nullifying the terms of the Or-ganic Act.

3. Thnt the act deals with more thnnone subject,-bot- In Its body and In Itstitle, which Is prohibited by the OrgnnlcAct.

4. Thnt the net did not pass on anaye and no vote upon Its third reading,as required by the Organic Act.

It Is believed that the Supreme Courtwill give this case right of way andrender a prompt decision. This willclenr the atmosphere nnd let the community and the government know whereIt stands.

1 fotil A DRAW

A large crowd witnessed three rat-tling good boxing bouts nt the Favor-ite Hall last night. In each light a sail-or was pitted against a Honolulu man,putting up n stlrf light, nnd lu eachcase the decision given was a drawThe plntforiu was well arranged nndIn first class condition for fighting.

In the first event n sailor named Gor-don, from the battleship Wisconsin,met Mcdelros, the Portuguese whosometime ngo put up a very good fightnttheOrpheum. The Portuguese had thendvantagc lu wejght nnd Immediatelycommenced rushing tactics. The sailormat these cleverly and gave Medelrossome very severe punishment. Veryquickly Medclros's right eye was put outof business. It was four rounds ofvery good lighting and the referee's de-cision of n draw satisfied the crowd.

In the second event Castio, the Gunm boy who Is known as the "Tele-phone Wonder," was matched againstHummelback, a sailor from the cruis-er Raleigh. Tho Guam Wy was thelighter of the pair and his opponentwas a mass of muscles. Tho Telephoneman opened the bout with rushes andtaking his cue from these the sailormet them squarely and got In somesevere body blows. The sailor's long,swinging left frequently found thebody of Castro and although the latterhad the best of the first round the sail-or had the advantage for the remain-ing rounds. The last round was ofthe whirlwind order, the sail-or frequently rushing his man to theropes and Indicting tough punishment,Despite this the referee, a sailor a- -galnst whom there was much complaintduring the first three rounds, called thefight a draw, Mnny considered thatthe sailor should have been given thedecision but tho crowd let the mattergo In a good-humor- wny.

The big event of the night wns thebout between Huihul, tho Knknakoman who In tlmes pnst hns given se-vere bentlngs to soldiers Latham, DeLlle, and others at the Orpheum, andJim Sherlock, n sailor very handy withboth feet nnd hands. The crowd hadawarded the light to Hulhui before theevent had started but the clean workof the sailor and his frequent execution on the, native soon showed thecrowd thnt they were wrong and thatIf Hulhui won the fight he would knowon the finish thnt he nnd met a manof nbout his own calibre. The flr.uround wns nn even break but In thefive or six rounds following the sailorseemed to lose his speed. Huihul madifrequent rushes, going after Sherlock'swind and head. The sailor met munvof these with a duck that saved him.Hulhui became overconfident In theseventh and commenced a game of fool-ing. This gave the sailor time to gethis second wind and from thnt time tothe end of the tenth tho work was verylively and ns much to the credit ofSherlock as to Huihul. Sherlock gotIn some heavy punches to Huihul'shead. In the ninth Sherlock claimeda foul. This was not allowed and hisseconds and others attempted to get In-

to the ring to stop the fight but thostrong arms of watchful police and oth-ers prevented this and the sailor waved1back his followers and continued tliufight. The tenth was at Intervals veryfast. Tho sailor landed the most times,nnd landed cjenn. He got to Huihul'shead on several times and had the fightlasted longer might have got a deci-sion. Huihul did most of the leadingbut It is doubtful If he lnnded moretimes thnn the sailor nnd the latter'swork wns so clean that Referee Gor-don's decision of a draw satisfied every-one.

TO SPAREii i

Why the Petitioners of

Diamond Head Must

Wait a While.

With rcgnrd to the petition of JudgeDole, Samuel Parker, H. Holmes nndHenry E. Hlghtou to the Superintendent of Public Works, prnylng for dectrio lights In the Diamond Head sec-

tion, the following communication wasgiven out yesterday by Governor Carter:

Department of Public Works, Hono-lulu, 'T. II., December 24th, 1903.

Hon. Geo. It. Carter, Governor, Ter-ritory of Hawaii.

Sir: As the request for the Installation of three electric lights nround thobase of Diamond Head was made tothis Departtnent In the form of a peti-tion, signed by several prominent citi-zens, It seems to me that It would beadvisable to reply to same through thenewspapers.

Urgent necessity for additional elec-tric lights beyond the termination ofthe Honolulu Rapid Transit & LandCompany' line on the Waiklkl road, aHwell ns In many other districts of Honolulu Is fully appreciated by this Da-partment, but at tho present time thogenerators located at the Nuuanu val-ley station nre operated to their fullestcapacity and some of them are over-loaded nt all times, and we are nlsjrenting extra current for arc nnd In-

candescent lights nt a monthly expenseof approximately $300.

The Nuuanu electric power plant con-sists of a number of small units whichhave been added from time to time usrequited, and It these were replaced byone larger generator, the efficiency ofme station Would be greatly Increas-ed, and with further development C

tho water power, which could be doneat slight expense, this station wouldhave ample capacity to furnish cur-rent for all Government lights at present In use, ns well as about 25 per cent'additional, nnd the station could bnoperated without any further expensefor labor.

In view of the fact that the CountyAct provides for the taking over, onthe 4th of Jnnunry, all of the electriclighting plants now operated by theTerritorial Government, by tho super-visors of tho various counties lu whichthey are located, any addition to thepresent system In Honolulu will haveto be undertaken by this county.

Specifications were drawn up lu thePublic Works Department and plansmade for a now generator and waterwheel for the Nuuanu 'station, but,owing to the provisions of the CountyAct, It was deemed Inadvisable to pro-ceed wltlvthls Installation, but there Isno question that a great saving couldbe made lu the operating 'expenses ofthe electric lighting department, shouldthe county find it 'possible to take upthis work, nnd I should be very ulnato turn over any Information and dataIn this olllce to the Eoi.rd of Super-visors.

Very respectfully,(Signed) C. S. HOLLOWAV,

Superintendent of I'ubHc Woiks.

A BRAVE MAN

DIED AT SEA

When Samuel McAllister, firemansecond-clas- s, U. S. N., passed away onthis ship at 11:15 Sunday night, the13th Inst., a life of long service to ourcountry and Hag was closed.

McAllister had been suffering sometime from heart trouble nnd had beenundergoing treatment for that ailmentnt the Naval Hospital In Yokohamabut was returned for duty shortly be-

fore we sailed for Honolulu.His enlistment was to have expired

tomorrow. He went to his post Inthe fire room without complaint buthis condition was such that hisstrength soon failed and he was obllged to give up. He was about thedecks Sunday until late In the even-ing when he was attacked by heartfailure and carried to the sick Itavwhere he died shortly nfterwnrds.

The body was prepared for the deepnnd the Impressive burial took placetho following day.

All hands mustered on the quarter-deck; the colors were hoisted to thegaff and the squadron "hove to."Colors were lowered to hnlf most nndRavenswood's Funeral Mnrch hushedevery sound about the ship.

Henry T. Mayo rendthe service for the burial of the deadat sea, Interrupted by "Nearer MyGod to Thee" played by the band.Tears gathered In many eyes ns theheavily weighted body was consignedto the deep. Three volleys were firedby a squad of marines, nnd the buglersounded tups ns the body which hadserved tho country well, was sinkingIn its watery grave.

McAllister's early service was doneIn the nrmy and at his death he wasnt the close of his second cruise in thenavy. Although he had not yet receiv-ed It, he was "awarded a medal of hon-or and n gratuity of $100.00 by theDepartment on March 22, 1902, forbravery at Tien Tsln, China, Juno 20,1900. He was serving on the Mono-cac- y

nt the time; on the opposite sideof the river lodged behind shacks nndsnlt racks were several Chlneso sharpshooters who were doing considerabledamage to both Americans and Eng-lish; although repeatedly driven nway,'they returned under the concealmentof the shncks. McAllister volunteeredwith a corporal nnd two privates toface their lite nnd burn their shelter,which deed was accomplished at thomost hazardous risk, and for whichhe was awarded the honor and re-muneration which has been too longdelnyed.

McAllister was 34 years of age. Heleaves n sister, Miss J, McAllister whoresides nt 129, 4th Avenue, New York.

CHRISTMAS

III ON

The Day's ObservancesOut on the

Reef.

One oflthe most successful ond Im-

pressive Christmas celebrations whichtook place In Honolulu during the pastIveek was undoubtedly that held nt

'Oahu Penitentiary on Friday morning.Tho Inmates of that grim Institution"on the reef" were In the best ot spiritsand for one day had thrown away thetroubles and worries of life so thatnothing should mar the glory ot thecelebration.

The first surprise of the day' occurredat 9 o'clock In the morning when threeof the long term prisoners were calledup to the prison olllce nnd WartlenHenry presented them, as a Christmasgift, with a commutation of their sen-

tences which he had secured from theGovernor. A particular Interest wasattached to this Incident, ns one otthe recipients of the Executive's clem-ency had the sympathy of all his fel-

low prisoners: nnd wnrm were thehandshakes and sincere congratula-tions received by Fred Wood duringthe day. One of the prisoners expressed the prevailing sentiment when hesaid: "I should not feel a bit happierIf It had happened to me."

Tho religious meeting, under the uni-

ted auspices of the Seventh Daychurch, the Y. M. C. A., the

Snlvatlon Army nnd the Penlel Mis-sion, wus for many, an occasion tobe long remembered.

Thanks to the kindness of WardenHenry an elaborate program had beenarranged nnd It was carried out beau-tifully. The prisoners to the numberot 26S were seated underneath the beau-tiful kainnnl tree ot 125 feet span,which Is situated In the middle ot theprison yard and as It has been said,it really seemed ns It God's love nndmercy were seeking for expression Inthat stately tree, with Its

branches, as If to enfold them Inpardoning grace. Rev. J. II. Behrensof the Seventh Day Adventlst church,presided nnd at 10:30 nfter mutualgreetings had been exchanged, openedthe services by giving out the hymn,"Hnrk, the Herald Angels Sing." whichwas sung by all. The beautiful storyof Christ's nativity was then readfrom the second chapter of Luke byfive prisoners. In Hawaiian, Spanish,Chinese, Japanese nnd English respec-tively. After an eloquent prayer hadbeen offered by Mr. Colcord, one of theprisoners advanced towards the visi-tors nnd. In behalf of his, comrades,thanked them for their kindly Interest,and welcomed visits, and offered themthe prisoners' Christmas jreetlngs.

Little Hazel Lyle and Loiene Col-cord sung a pretty duet and MasterTeddy Tracy convulsed his audiencewith n graphic description of the boyexpecting Santa Clnus. Miss VeraBehrens recited some Bible verses ac-companied with song, which were verymuch appreciated. A duet, "My Father Knows," was sung by Mrs. Beh-rens and Mrs. Lyle, and Inter the twoladles, In company with Rev. J. II,Behrens nnd Mr. Colcord, contributedtho beautiful quartette, "The SweetBye and Bye."

The hit of tho day, however, wasscored by Miss Maud E. Paty, In herrecitation, "Annie and Willie's Prayer."With a fine diction nnd almost dra-matic delivery, Miss Paty succeeded.Innocently of course, In shattering Intofragments all the time-honor- rulesand traditions ot tho prison. NothingIs said in the "Rules Governing Pris-oners" nbout whnt should be done orleft undone when their feelings havebeen stirred to such a pitch of enthu-siasm that It needs an outlet of ex-pression, probably because such an oc-

currence had not been foreseen, but Ithas always been taken for granted bythe prisoners, that If they do not de-

sire to pay n visit to that mysteriousplace ot solitary confinement known asthe "dark cell" they hnd better waituntil they are In the Orpheum or theOpera House If they desire to makeany noisy demonstration. Howeverthat mny be n storm of npplause greet-ed Miss Paty at the conclusion of herrecitation to tho amazement of WardenHenry.'whlch, however, was quicklytransformed Into n plensant smile, nndthe utter consternation of Deputy a.

Eloquent nddresses were delivered byRev. J, H. Behrens, Ensign Underbill.S. A., nnd John M. Mnrtln, chnlrmnnof tho devotional commltteo of the Y.M. C. A., and some pertinent remnrksupon "Peace and good will towardmen," were' made by C. J. Day, Mr,and Mrs. Hndley, A. E. Lutz, W. T.Paty, Mr. Burgess, Mrs. II. C. Lyle.Mrs. Behrens nnd Miss Howland nndothers.

A quartet of prisoners sang vervtouchlngly "When the day ot life Isdawning." nnd nfter nnother recltntlonby Master L. Ferguson tho Oahu Pris-on Glee Club sang the enrol, "ike laka anela" nnd ns an encore surprisedeverybody present with a benutlful Ha-waiian melody. In which tho unini-tiated could only catch the words"Aloha," nnd "Hnppy New Year," butwhich wns much appreciated neverthe-les- s,

ny the way, both songs werecomposed last year by a prisoner, nowdischarged, nnd a member of tho Sal-vation Army.

Benediction pronounced by Rev. J,11. Behrens brought this unique serviceto a close, but Just as ,he companyprepared to separate n prisoner steppedforward nnd taking ndvnntnge of atemporaiy suspension of the rules, pro-posed thnt a vote of thanks be ex-tended to Mr. Behrens. tke Y.

Samoans Want thePresident toAid Them.

Assistant Secretary Darling of theNavy Department has submitted to thoPresident a report received from Com-

mander Underwood, commandant of thonaval station at Tutulla, Samoa, trans-mitting a petition addressed to thePresident of the United Stntes by a,

district governor of Manua, ex-

tending thanks for everything done bythe United Stntes government for thepeople of Samoa.

"In past years, says the native governor, "Samoa dtfelt In the darkness,and bloodshed nroso; but now the suncomes forth; nil people dwell In friend-ship nnd observe the beneficence of thogovernment of the United States In thelaws nnd nil orders, which have crent-e- d

pence and blessings among all menthere Is protection when we dwell un

der the Hag of the government of theUnited Stntes of America.

"Mnny evil customs have grown InSamoa since heathen times, with ignor-nnc- e

in years gone by, because therowas no Instruction In civilized waysnnd wise methods, such ns practicedunder your authority nnd the government of the United States of America,in that there Is n8t another great powerwhich can protect with such honor.

"We desire to represent to you ourrequest. Let It be the pleasure of yourexcellency and the government of Sa-moa to continue In that way towardthis part of Samoa; Instruct tho presentgeneration In wise subjects.

"There are now In this portion otenstern Samoa, Manuu, between 400

nnd 500 children who are ignorant ofwise matters. We nre endeavoring toteach them at the present time, andwe desire some assistance from yourexcellency nnd the government wherewe nre unnbte to help ourselves.

"We want a teacher to instruct thechildren; we also require assistance Incompleting the roof of the school houseand other things necessnry for thebuilding, nnd school requisites, nccord-in- g

to wise methods such as carriedout In other places under the authorityand the ling of the government ot theUnited States. May you live."

Commander Underwood says he Isquite In accord with the district gov-

ernor In his desire to have a teacherfor the Instruction of the children, buthe recommends that action on the

for pecuniary assistance In com-pleting and equipping the school house,estimated at about $250, be held inabeyance until the district governor haswritten assurance that the school Is tobe public nnd not denominational, nndthe high chiefs of the islands of theManunn group have signed the dedconveying the Islands to the UnitedStates. Should the conditions bo ful-filled, Commnnder' Underwood recommends that the requisite assistance beprovided.

"The people of'Mnnua," says Commander Underwood, "are the mosttractable and orderly of the Samoansof our possession, nnd In my opinionsome small recognition of these qua!ltles wquld have a good effect." Washington tatar.
