CHEAPER COAL MAY COME

SCHEME.
How it Might Benefit Honolulu-Coal at
Two Dollars Per Ton Less
Than Now.

Besides being the social leader of
San Francisco's best people, w. H.
Chambliss, who is guest at one of the
Honolulu hotels, is an acute business
man. In the course of his travels,
which have been made as globe.trotter
and as an officer Of the Pacific Mail, he
has found many commercial opportuni
ties of which he has made the best use.
One Of these brings him to Honolulu at
the present time. 1t seems that Mr..
Chambliss, according to the Examiner
of August 4th, while travelling in
Alaska, met an old explorer who showed
him lump Of excellent coal which he
had dug up in the back country. Mr..
Chambliss secured the land upon which
the mineral was found and fastened
back to San Francisco where he organ.

velopment company of Alaska, members

Lately she said 81 don't know, oil
course, what Congress may do about
annexation, but you may be sure, il
it does what Mr.. Blount desires, you
will have no cause to complain"
A United States naval official who
was about with Mr.. Blount good deal
says that when it was remarked in the
in the Minister'S hearing some time
ago that the ex-palace might be used
for hotel, he said quickly: "You
ought to save that for gubernatorial
mansion"
All signs point to the absolute con-
version of the Blounts to the cause of
decent government on these Islands.

CALLED ON LILIUOKALANI.
What Mr.. Blount Said to Her Wher
He Went Away.

This mornings Knokoa has the fol.
lowing piece of news
'Just before Minister Blount sailed
from Honolulu he called on Liliuoka-
lani and told her emphatically that it
was entirely useless for her to entertain
any hope that the United States would
aid in her restoration; they would on
no account do anything of the kind. u
Learning that this information came
from high quarters the STAR sent a
reporter to investigate it and found
that the report was true. Mr.. Blounl
Blount gave her late majesty to under
stand without reserve that restoration,
at the hands Of his Government was
out of the question altogether.
Naturally" said a high official, 81
do not want to have my name men
toned, but you may say that when Mr.
Blount came here he was prejudiced in
favor of the monarchy and its claims
but the longer he staid here and the
more he cross-questioned the Royalist
leaders and acquainted himself with the
character of those who are in and back
Of the present Government the more
he was impressed by the idea that the
revolution of January 18th was neces
Sity of the times. That he called upor
Liliuokalani and told her that she hao
no case with the United States Govern
ment does not admit of doubt Thai
is precisely what he did"
OF late many stories Of what Mr.
Blount said to Annexation leaders have
been coming out, and all Of them are
quite in line with the views attributed
to Colonel Blount.
"You know | can't say anything
here" said the wife of the American
Minister to Annexation friends, "bu
when l 60 back home | shall be reall,
eloquent about Hawaiian matters
Don't worry about your future. 1t will
be one long era of peace, happiness
and prosperity"
This was said three months ago
