Lieutenant Coyne and some fifteen
members of Company F started out on
steam launch a little after 10 a. m.
Sunday for the purpose of doing, what
they could with a certain family OF
sharks reported to have been seen out
side the harbor. They stocked the
launch well with provisions prepare
tory 10 an all-days hunt.
Just outside the harbor unnnistakable
signs in the shape of several fms were
noticed projecting above the surface OF
the water. and they made the soldiers
hair bristle with excitement.
A hook, baited with a large piece of
pork and attached to a heavy line, was
thrown overheard.
There was a bite and pull, and be-
fore long a good sized shark was haul
ed alongside and filled with rifle and re-
Volver bullets. This was excitement
enough, but when, after the line had
been thrown over again and another
shark captured in the same manner,
the men in the launch could hardly re-
main in their places.
The line was cast overheard once
more, and soon there was tug that
caused a very burning sensation to pass
over the hands of the four men who
held it. The launch was pulled here
and there by what seemed to be a
monster twice the size of the others.
This seemed to be proven when the
hark stuck it's fin above water. At this
alton seven or eight bullets pierced
tie head of the monster, and after a
had fight, during which the launch
wa in imminent danger of being cap
size, the prize was brought alongside
andtowed with the other two to the
Aloh boat house, where, upon measure
ment it was found to be IL feet 8
inche from head to tip of tail, and 531s
inchesaround at it's largest part. The
1arges,of the remaining two measured
feet Snches.
Upon5eing cut open the large shark

void, wlch in some degree accounted
for the tg given the line. One of the

PLEA FROM "MECHANIC."
Middle Glass Feels Asiatic Compel.
litiOn Keenly.


MR.. EDITOR-The Evening
Bulletin of the Dist has the fol-
lowing editorial:
Rust is rapidly getting away
with the iron fence around the
Executive building grounds,
which is only five years old. The
surface of the pickets have be
come pitted and scaled off, at an
alarming rate. Can't the Govern
ment afford paint to protect this
costly work, and let the soldiers
exercise themselves laying it on?"
Now, Mr.. Editor, have not the
mechanics of Honolulu a sufficient
amount of competition in the Ash
atics, without bringing the sol
diers of the Republic into cOmpe-
tition with them as we'll? Any
person who wishes to satisfy him
self of the condition of the me-
chants of Honolulu has only to
watch and see the great number of
mechanics walking our streets for
lack of employment.
Paint the fence by all means,
but let the work to some of our
numerous painters, and let it be
done well, and not botched by peO-
pie who have not the necessary ex-
perience; and if they had, it
would be wrong to compel them to
do it.
Economy is virtue when
properly applied, but doing me-
chanical work with soldiers, when
your citizens are out of employ
ment, is not economy in any sense
of the word.
[ have not the space to quote
authority for my statements on
this letter, only to say that in the
United States it is not an open
question. The situation among the
white mechanics has become so
critical that the very existence Of
the white mechanics of the islands
is threatened. 1t is scarcely nee
essary for me to recapitulate what
is a known and admitted fact.
Suffice it to say that the position
of the white mechanics and also
the natives, is rapidly becoming
intOlerable. The policy of the Ash
atics has been and is now to stead
lily encroach upon the different
trades, and undermine, by prices
that cannot be duplicated, to such
an extent as to leave a deep-seated
cause for alarm and danger. The
Chinese, in conjunction with the
Japanese, are endeavOring to re-
duce the condition of the middle
class in these beautiful isles to
that of the serfs in China and
japan. Every departure by the
whites or natives is Immediately
bounced upon and brought down
to starvation prices.
With thousands OF whites anu
natives deprived of the means of
livelihood, and at the mercy of
hordes of Asiatics, we cannot con-
template the future without the
gravest apprehension. We appeal
to all right-thinking people who
have the welfare of the country at
heart to assist those among us
who feel this competition the most
severely. We are convinced that
the danger is real and that if moth
inc is done to alleviate the en-
croachments of the Asiatics we
will all have cause to regret our
apathy. y MEOhANlC'

HIS CONFIDENCE NOT RESTORED.
: Michigan Silver Editor Offers TO
Sell His Property Cheap.

One of the most interesting features
of the late campaign in Michigan was
the great race made for congress by
| Editor Charles S. Hampton of the Pc
toskey Democrat. Hampton is one of
the best stumpers in the west. He ran
ahead of Bryan in every county of his
large district, but was overwhelmed by
the unexpected Mckinley landslide.
Hampton is known up in his home
state as the Foghorn of Skila gallee."
He has not made his last appearance
in the congressional field. Like Bryan,
he is for keeping up the silver fight,
and in the last issue of his paper ne
adopts the following novel method of
inviting attention to the fact that Nc
Kinley's election has not restored con-
fdence everywhere:
"As my confidence has not been re-
stored by the election 1 am willing TO
sell the most favorably located plant
in the upper peninsula for less than 20
per cent of its cost, and will only re-
quire 81 900 down. balance on time,
without gold clause in contract.
PLANT comprises good circular saw
mill and complete Perkins single mill
in one building. a separate hardwood
factory, large steam dry kiln, good
store building, several good dwellings,
40 acres of land, with splendid BOOM
ing ground on Manistique river, and
siding at terminus of railroad to Seney
and Grand Marais. Best place in
Michigan for a man of small means to
make money when times are good.
Everything complete, ready to start

IMMENSE APPLE CROP.
Production Great and Prices Half as
High as Usual.

High as Usual.
crop of apples, like that of this
year, has never been known in this
country, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. One reason of the enormous
abundance is found in the fact that
the crop has been very large in almost
all of the apple producing states of the
country. The state of New York will
probably lead the list, but the produc-
ton is also great all over New En-
gland and in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan Kansas and all over the
north and northwest. New jersey is
the only apple producing state that
has a small crop; for While in Pennsyl-
vania the orchards have not borne
heavily in the eastern part of the
state, they have been loaded down in
the northern and western counties.
The total crop of the country is esti-
mated at from 60000,O00 to 81, 600 900
barrels, which means that there is
nearly one barrel produced for every
man, woman and child in the country
This total is four or five times as
great as last year, but last year was a
little short of the average crop. The
enormous quantity on the market is
leading to a very great export trade,
but most of the barrels that are shipped
abroad are dispatched from New York.
have not much to say of that aspect of
the business.
The barrel that is used for apples
contains three bushels and is supposed
to weigh $50 pounds. The standard va
rieties of apples which are most album
dant at the present time are the Bald
win and the greening. A barrel of
sound apples of either of these kinds
can be purchased from the wholesale
dealers for about $1.25, or less than a
cent a pound. There are varieties of
table apples which are bringing 81 and
1925 right along, and there are .lso
cheaper qualities. which can be had
for less than 81. These prices are
about half the usual rates, and in years
when there is a short crop the prices
are three or more times as high.
