Siberian railroad, returned this even
ing from Olympia Regarding the
New York dispatch stating that c. p.
Huntington confirmed the purchase by
the Amoor Steamship Company Of I've
vessels formerly in the Rio trade. Mr..
Richardson said: The dispatch is incor.
rect in the price paid, the price for the five
vessels being 81. 500 900 instead of 81 600 900.
There will be fifteen or twenty more
vessels in the feet. They will be built on
this coast" Mr.. Richardson declined
courteously TO state where the remainder
OF the feet would be built They will be
Of steel but not Of the whaleback type.
The steel for these vessels. he
said, would be brought to this coast II
necessary in the construction of them.
Also large amount of sheet iron would
be needed for warehouses in connection
with the new road and the navigation busi-
ness on the Amoor. Some Of the vessels
TO be built on this coast will be ased in
river navigation and the rest on the Pa
cific ocean,
The ocean steamers will call at all the
ports on this coast and eventually there
will be one chief port, not yet designated.
The president and general manager of
the company will reside on the Coast.
At present the headquarters of the COM
pany are at New York. Mr.. Richardson

BELLINGmAM BAY NOT sHoALING.
10 10 Not Necessary to Divert the Nook
sack River to Lunami Bax.


FAIRHAvKs. Dec. 27.-[Special. In reply
to recent anonymous communication in
the Rereiue. advocating directing the
waters of the Nooksack river into Lummi
bay. on the ground that the glacial
silt brought down the river Is gradually
filling up the harbor. Engineer J. ]. Dono-
van, of this place. presents some very in
teresting figures taken from the govern
ment record of soundings made
in 1855 and 1890, which seem
to clearly disprove the statements
that the alluvial washings of the Nook
sack are injuring the harbor. Referring
to the two charts. Mr.. Donovan says that
comparison shows that We have
as much anchorage ground as
in 1855, aud that Immediately
In front of the Whatcom wharves the
water 10 now as deep as il was then, and
apparently one to three feet deeper close
to the eighteen-foot line. the general posi-
ton of which, relative to the shore, is un-
changed.
The only noticeable change in thirty.
eight years Is at what is called the Portage,
between Point Francis and the main por-
ton OF Lummi peninsula. which is
now submerged at high tide, but was
contested with the main land in
1855. Where there was thirty feet of water
in front of the q street wharf in 1Ss2 the
chart OF 1856 shows only eighteen
feet. Mr.. Donovan says 1.-The tide is
disposing of the silt by sweeping Ii
to sea nearly or quite as fast as
the Nooksack is bringing il in" The
Rereilie, which has been inclined to favor
changing the channel, admits that the
government charts, as witnesses. are
moro reliable than the memories oi
the oldest inhabitants" bur il still
insists that "a gradual filing up process
is going on" The Nooksack river i.

to say nothing OF ITS great value as 6
logging stream. If its waters should be
diverted TO the gulf side of the Lummi
peninsula. steamers would have to run
around through Hale's passage to reach
ITS mouth, travelling sixteen miles before
beginning the trip up the river,
whereas the present distance does
not exceed i've. and the cost o,
towing logs from the river to the
mills on the bay would be con.
siderably increased. Mr.. Donovan says: al
we can get government help let it be fol-

THIS paper is now, as it always
has been, since the day when the
monarchy was forever banished
from Hawaii, the firm and un-
fiinching advocate of annexation
to the United States, without any
compromise in any shape or form
whatever. Nor can one word be
produced to show a contrary de-
termination. To this paper more
than to any other is due the credit
of firmly standing by and defend
ing the Provisional government
and the cause it represents. 1t
yields to no other paper firmer
allegiance to the principles which
the government and its supporters
represent.

Excessive contumely has been
poured by the partizans of royalty
upon United States Minister Ste
yens for having simply complied
with this standing order of Presi-
dent Cleveland, and having landed
an adequate force to protect this
city in n coming night of fear, when
the half organized party Of order
was arrayed against the dissolving
forces of the revolutionist queen.
Minister Stevens then did with
both moderation and efficiency
what Minister Willis now
by the same authority and in the
same exercise Of duty, emphatically
declares that he will do. If Mr..
Stevens is to be blamed for his in
terposition in January, then much
more is Mr.. Willis to be censured
for threatening punishment to dis
turbers OF the peace, which Mr..
Stevens never did.
1t cannot be doubted that it is
the intention of the United States
to cooperate in establishing in
Hawaii such a government as can
be relied upon to meet the necessi-
ties Of this most important central
commercial position which imposes
on Hawaii such arduous RESPONSE
bilities. 1t is the duty of the
United States to see that Hawaii
meets those responsibilities and
fulfls her duties. 1t goes without
saying that the coming govern
ment will be no reconstruction of a
native monarchy under any form
whatever. Such monarchy is by
inherent nature absolutist, defiant
or evasive of constitutions and
laws, and regardful mainly of it's
own caprices. Mr.. Willis has come
to Hawaii on no such idiotic

A REPORTER who wilfully and
purposely falsifes the language of
a diplomatic representative, as was
done by the Star reporter, on
Thursday last, in an interview
with Minister Willis, as shown by
his published statement, deserves
to be branded as unworthy of pub
lie credence. Minister Willis may
be thus compelled in future, for
self-protection, to follow Mr.
Blount's example, and refuse all
press interviews.

Take a piece of wire, a coil
will do and stretch it in build
ing a fence; it's not hard to
calculate the tension you put
upon it, but whether you get
the exact number of pounds
or not, you know it is enough
to put the wire tight enough
for all practical purposes. If
it breaks while you are
stretching it, you conclude at
once that it is of inferior
quality. Take a coil of our
wire and stretch it and stretch
it, put your mules or your
oxen on it and see if it will
break. Coil it around your
posts and see if there is a sim
gle rough place on it after
you have bent into every con-
ceivable shape. In the Homo
lulu Iron Works, our wire was
put to a test for tensile
strength and it registered
1920 pounds. Take this good
wire and build a locked fence
with it and you have some
thing that will last forever.
The rainy weather creates a
demand for steel wire and
cocoa mats. Our stock is large
enough to select from and we
have many different varieties.
Our plain cocoa mats are
cheap enough for any purpose,
the bordered ones are good
enough for a parlor, the "Alo-
ha" style suitable for use in a
palace. For muddy weather
nothing will remove the dirt
from the shoes as we'll as a
Hartman Steel Mat. We have
them in all sizes.

AMERICA ASSUMES THE RESPONSE
BILITY FOR HAWAII.

The United States Minister, Mr..
Willis, was no doubt accurately re-
ported yesterday to have declared
that until he heard from Wash
ington "no change will take place
in the present situation nor will
any be allowed" He added that
"any attempt made by any person
or persons to make trouble will be
promptly checked and punished"
Were the representative of any
other power near the Hawaiian
government to make such declar-
alton as the above, there is no
doubt that not only this govern
ment but that ofthe United States
would resent it in the most ener-
getic manner as an unlawful inter-
ference in the internal affairs OF
this independent nation. This is
not calling in question the pro-
priety of the declaration made by
Mr.. Willis. 1t is simply pointing
out that the government OF the
United States holds itself charged
with the especial duty of main
tanning public order and security"
in Hawaii. To this extent at least
America already exercises a par i'
protectorate over tbisS..'ry
The very l~Age commerciai in'e.
ests -bs-sSc conducted by men {
Inv nationalities, with the in
portant and central position
Hawaii at the great meeting poln
of Pacific commerce, render it II
dispensable that such order an
security should be maintained
America, England and German
cannot for one moment tolerate tn
disturbance of business in Homo
lulu, or the endangering of the live
and property of their citizens b
factious and disorganizing move
ments subversive of orderly govern
ment. By common consent tn
United States has been recognize
as the power entrusted with tn
duty of maintaining order here an
preventing disturbance. Under thi

to 90 farther and to see to it tina
such a governn .ent is establishes
here as can be 4elied upon to man

and prudence as will promote in

This is no new function here o
