direct from Hong Kong, China, via
San Francisco. There were in all 119

ger coaches, which had been brought
through without change. Five special
guards, in the employ Of the railroad
company and authorized deputy mar
shals of the United States government,
had remained by the travellers from
the time they landed in San Francisco,
and watched that they did not set foot
on American soil while being trans
ported across the continent. The
baggage took up more room than the
Cinnamon, and there were some 200
pieces of this personal property.

ON NATIONAL FINANCE.
View of Funding Bill by Promi-
nent Financier.

View of Funding Bill by Promi-
nent Financier.
NJ S. Grinbaum, who has just arrived
from the coast, is gentleman who has
large interests here and naturally takes
great interest in all matters of finance.
In course of a conversation Mr.. Grin
baum said that he was very much
pleased with the action of the Govern
ment and its disinterested financial
policy. Mr.. Damon's plan for reducing
the interest on the debt he considered
an essentially good one. 1t worked for
the good of the poorer and middle class
taxpayers, whose interests IL was neces-
sary and right that n Government
should consider, the wealthy being able
to take care of themselves. If Gov
ernment can reduce it's rate of interest
it can in time afford to reduce it's taxes.
Considering the resources of this
country, the Government should not
pay higher rate than five per cent,
and it ought not to be at all difficult to
obtain that rate.
Lowering the rate of interest would
have an excellent effect upon Hawaiian
credit abroad. Mr.. Grinbaum pointed
out the self-evident proposition that the
lower the rate of interest the better the
financial standing of the country, and
the fact that the rate had been lowered
would naturally make capital look into
investments in this country.
All this was foreshadowed In the
funding bill of the Minister of Finance,
which the "big eight" tabled so uncere-
moniously. That the bondholders would
naturally strive to keep up the six per
cent rate was self-evident to the gentle
man talked with. He said all mankind
was as a rule selfish, and very natural
ly those here who were i'm a position or
would be in a position to buy bonds
made fight to keep up the rate OF in
terest.
