AMERICAN SEAMEN.
Successful Shore Drill Held This
Morning.

\ battalion of seamen. consisting of
six companies men-from aboard
the Philadelphia and Marion, were
ashore this morning at o'clock. A
quick march was made out King
street to the new baseball grounds, in
Makiki, where. an exhibition of ply
steal drill, with arms, to the music of
the Admiral's band, took place. The
movements consisted of overhead, out
ward, downward and see-saw mo-
tions, and were done with prompt eX-
ecution, making the sight very pret-
ty one, indeed.
On the return, the battalion came
to a halt at Kawaiahao Church wall,
where the men scaled the high wall
several times. Some of the men had
never seen such maneuver before,
much less having gone through It,
and as a result, were awkward ami
clumsy in their movements. The
quickest time in which the battalion
went over the wall was minute and
fifth.

WILDER S. S. co. TO BUILD A NEW
STEEL VESSEL.
\ Sister Ship of the Helene, to Re
place the Likelike, Will be Ordered
at Once.

The lost steamer Likelille is to be
replaced with fine steel vessel, sim
liar in build to the Helene, and about
the same size. The directors of the
Wilder Steamship Company, at a.
meeting yesterday afternoon, decided
to build, and authorized President
Wight to place the order for the yes
sci at the earliest possible date Presi-
dent Wight will leave for San Francis
co on the steamship Belgic next Fri
day, and will probably let the con
tract for the new boat to the Union
Iron Works, builders of the Helene.
Work on the new steamer will have
to be pushed, in order that she may
be ready by the opening of the sugar
season next winter. Had the Likelike
been lost a month earlier the business
of the company would have been seri-
ously affected. for it required every
foot of carrying space in the Wilder
fleet to move the sugar when the sea-
son was at its highest. AS the latest
estimates place next years crop at
10000 tons more than this year, the
necessity of a steamer to take the
place of the Likelike at once became
apparent.
1he decision of the company to
build high-class steel vessel speaks
well for its enterprise, and shows
lasting faith in the future of the ISL
ands. The Helene has come fully up
to the expectations of her builders, as
the style of vessel best adapted to the
inter-island trade, and it did not re-
quire much discussion for the direct
ors to arrive at the conclusion that
such another vessel would be the best
investment. AS no time is to be lost,
the vessel was ordered forthwith, and
President Wight was vested with full
authority to place the order
The Helene is, perhaps. the finest of
the island steamers. She was built by
the Union Iron Works last year, at a
cost of about 100000 and was put into
commission only last March. She is
175 feet in length, 30 feet beam and
IA feet, 1OH inches deep. and is fitted
up for the best class of passenger
traffic. as well as big freight car
rier. On her trial trip, the Helene
reeled off 12 knots. with her engines
making from 40 to 145 revolutions.
The new steamer is to be about the
same size and style, with few inn
provements that have suggested them
selves since the Helene has been in
commission. 1t is believed that she
will not only take the place of the
Likelike, but will be large enough to
handle the additional crop expected
next year.
President Wight said this morning
that he would leave for the Coast on
the Belgic next Friday to place the
order. He will go clothed with full
authority to make the contract, and
will probably place the order with the
Union Iron Works, as that concern
gave the best of satisfaction on the
Helene.

The Best Typewriter.

1t has proven to the satisfaction
of the business world that the
PEERLESS is the best Type
writer on the market. Why?
Primarily because it never gets
out of order, leaving correspon-
dence in a chaotic condition on the
busiest day, and among many other
reasons, because of its lightness of
touch and quick response to the
keys, its lightning paper release,
its arrangement for doing tabulated
work and for sundry matters of con-
venience which we will be pleased
to show and explain if you will call.

RUMOR SAYS THAT JUDGE CAR
TER WILL RESIGN.
The Judge VIII Not Admit That 1t
is a Fact.-Minister Shimamura
Calls Council of State to Meet.

There is well defined rumor afloat
that some important changes are to
occur shortly in official circles. This
same Dame Rumor has it that Circuit
Judge Alfred w. Carter will retire
from the bench, and that he will form
a law partnership with a well known
attorney That Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Dole will be advanced to the va
cant judgship and that Antoine Rosa
will succeed Mr.. Dole.
Judge Carter was rather non-com-
initial this noon when asked regard
ing his intention to resign. He stat
ed positively that he would go into
no law partnership. He had not hand
ed in his resignation. He did not
know whether he would or not.
Antoine Rosa had heard that he was
slated to be, Attorney General Smiths
first assistant, but he did not get his
information from the authorities.
None of the Ministers would admit
that such a change was contemplated.
1t may be all talk, and it may not be.

OF General Miess recent recommendations relating
to the construction OF quarters for off1ce-s ana

a number of coast defences In the East. On re-
turning TO Washington he recommended to the
Secretary OF War that, as the progress OF I'M
provements such that guns and carriages at a
few places would soon be In position, 1t was I'M
portant that quarters be built for the troops which
It would be necessary to station at these points to

at the earliest date practicable Officers and troops

which they would be called upon to handle In time
of war.
