THE MAP Is DEFENDED.
A PLEA MADE FOR THE FOUR SLIP
PLAN OF EXTENSION.
Harbor Improvement Trine sar.
castle He Argues with the
Critics.

EDITOR STAR:-In your ISSUE of
yesterday, under the head lines of
For a Great Harbor," we are
again reminded that there is vast
amount of talent buried in the cram
ium Of the constitutional kicker,
which would doubtless be lost wereit
not called forth by some suggestion,
such as appeared in the Ad0erhser
of the 18th, advocating harbor i'm
provement with accompanying
map.
The wide awake member Of the
Government" does himself far more
credit than the average kicker who
only condemns all suggestions made
by others, without offering any
substitute. He says, criticising
the plan to remove the mud from a
natural basin in the harbor: why,
the thing is absurd" etc. Then
the experienced harbor authority
outlines his plan, keeping i'll view
the point of economy to shippers
and importers of merchandise, to
say nothing of other economic con-
siderations, when he says: LET
the harbor be extended along the
coast instead Of inland. Just
beyond Iwilei point only about
1000 feet nearly mile from the
town from the cattle pens there is
big basin. It's as large as the
present Honolulu harbor, and a
great deal of it is deep water"
This suggestor Of new harbor sites
should have called the attention Of
the public to Moanalua harbor,
which is also large and capable Of
being made deep, and little farther
on is Pearl harbor, reported by
Admirals Schofeld and Alexander
to have an anchorage capacity suf-
ficient to accommodate the entire
navies of the world. On the wind
ward side Of Oahu there is still an
other good harbor site. These
splendid possibilities may all be-
come separate ports of entry s0m'
day-or be connected by a grand
canal to save long hauls by drays
or railway. But just now, when
merchants are unwilling to pay
heavy inland transportation, it may
be we'll to reconsider the plan con-
demned as absurd" The gov
ernment has at present, including
the cattle pen wharf, $500 feet o.
wharfage. The proposed plar
of enlargement will ado
Z, 400 feet Of wharfage
nearly double the present capacity
The wharves suggested along the
line of the Queen street extension
will accommodate eight large deeI
water ships. The proximity o
this site to the business center o
town adds very materially to its val
ue. The material taken out of the
proposed basin can undoubtedly b.
so utilized as to reimburse thu
Government for all cost incident t.
its removal.

A BIG BATCH OF LIBEL.

I,en" Ituth In the Premises
tut, set Out

Some very serious charges
against Captain Paul Smith are
published in the city by ex-em-
ployes of the dredger. One Of the
men-Stokes-was dropped recent
ly for coming late in the morning.
w. p. Johnson, formerly engineer,
left the position two months ago.
lie assures THE STAR that he did
not sign the letter, and knows
nothing Of it, was not on the dred-
ger at the time some OF the alleged
oifenses are said to have been COM
mitted. Johnson has not been
himself at all for many weeks.
Stokes has been Boosting he would
get even with Captain Smith.
The first charge is that Captain
Smith dug up from the bay forty
tins OF opium and sold the same.
The find was made, but the stuff
was Of no use or value whatever,
water having reached it. 1t laid
around the dredger until kicked
overheard one day during a clean
ing up. The 40 tins" altogether
half filled a water bucket. The find
was seen by reporters, customs
people and many others. 1t was
shown to party of dredger visitors
| including |. II. Fisher, L. ii.
Hough, J. S. Martin, w. X. Sims,
Frank Mcintyre and others. The
whole charge of opium dealing is
preposterous and readily disproven.
Captain Smith rents a house at
present, though he hopes in time to
build. The place is the one de
scribed in the libel and is the prop
erty of Mr.. Jarret,. The latter says
the only fence there was built by
himself five years ago and that
Government men have not been
there building chicken houses.
This allegation has as a slight basis
the fact that one evening Stokes
carried three pieces of plank to
Captain Smiths house and the lat
ter made flower boxes with them.
The following makes the matter
very clear:
EDITOR START gave the lum-
Der SO much talked of to Captain
Paul Smith when the dredger was
at the Railway wharf. | told him
to take all he wanted Of it. The
lumber came off the schooner Jewett
and was private property.

The above lumber was used as
dunnage and was given to O. Berg

for firewood.

There is never carried on the
dredger any lumber suitable for or
binary building purposes.
Captain King, Minister Of In.
terror aud w. l.. Rowell looked in
to these matters and their conf
dence in Captain Smith has not
been at all shaken. The following

Edredge-crew, nearly every man of
which has been in service more
than year:

Not Bioomers. But Equipped Greek
Churches. with Priests.
L. X. Minnock, the representa-
tive of several large English rolling
mills, who has sold vast quantity
of rails to be used in the construc-
ton of the great Siberian railroad,
has been visiting on the Coast and
talks Interestingly of his sojourn in
the great land now being opened
by railways.
Mr.. Minnock stated that the
authorities of the Greek church
had, with the approval of the Rus
sian Government, decided upon a
novel means of spreading the reli-
gion of the church through the
sparseiy populated portions of 81
IBERIA that the road has already
penetrated. There are long stretch
Is of territory in which there are
hardly any people whatever, so the
building of churches is out Of ques-
ton. The authorities, he says,
finally decided TO construct some
churches on wheels, that would be
hauled over the road aud stopped
for religious exercises wherever a
handful of people were found.
Five of these church cars have
been constructed, each one being
assigned to a certain section Of the
railroad. and they are hauled back
and forth between the scattered
small settlements. Each Of them,
he says, is fitted up with all the
paraphernalia OF an orthodox Greek
church, and two priests are in each
car. All told, the five churches on
wheels he thinks visit seventy set
Elements a week. Each settlement
knows when the church car is to
arrive. and all the people are ex-
pected to come down to meet il
promptly for the services held in
the car Immediately after its arrival.
Each church can comfortably seal
thirty or forty people, and two set
Elements are visited daily by eacf
one. Several settlements have
more people than the church car
accommodate, and in such case'
the cars make longer stops to hols
two and sometimes three services
before departing.

Stearn'S Combination Tandems.

A large number of young
ladies in this city are now able 10
ride wheels, and one OF our young
mems best girls must be among
the number, and he should take
her out Saturday afternoons and
moonlight evenings, for a spin
on the yellow Fellow" He
must also arrange with the am
bulance wagon to follow him
and pick up those who die from
envy
Just think, a Combination
Tandem weighs only 44pQpnds.
and Diamond Frame Tandem
weighs only 3opounds. A year
or two ago single wheels weigh
ed so pounds as rule.
Combination 1andems are for
ladies who say bloomers are
"horrid things" and they won't
wear them. Diamond Frames
are for the other kind.
Up TO this time there has been
but one Stearns' wheel in this
town, and this was brought by a
gentleman who says he rode it
from San Francisco to Los
Angeles and return, and did not
have any repairing to do on the
round trip, or after he got back.
From now on there will be plen.
ty OF these wheels in Honolulu,
Tor a wheel that is popular as
this is, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, cannot fail to please here.
Any one wanting a wheel will
do well to call on us, those who
who think they do not want one
will change their minds soon

Present Opium supply Coming From "a
Reserve Fund.
ut is rather strange" said po-
lice officer last night, that all the
opium captured in the past several
weeks bears the marks of having
been cached in the sand. Sand has
dried upon the tins and the con-
tainers are more or less rusty from
lying in the damp earth. 1t would
seem that all of the dope now in
town belongs to one lot. 1t is all
of the same kind, and all has been
in the ground. The earth on the
tins is from the sea shore or very
near it," Whether the officer
thought the opium now being used
is from the Norma lot or not, he
declined to say.

but nothing mole was discovered.
