WESTPoRT COAL.
Four Thousand Tons to be De.
livered at ThissPort.

The barkentine Omega arrived at
this port ON November %, from West
port, N. T., with a cargo of $40 tons
Coalbrook coal from the Westport Coal
Company Limited, says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. This is something new
in this market, though the property
has been worked for some time and has
yielded l 100000 tons. Its superior
quality commands for it a high price,
and this, together with the heavy home
demand, have operated against large
exports. The little bark Gainsbor-
ough had a cargo of this coal, but in
trying to go into Honolulu for fresh
water ran on Diamond Head. The
wreck was subsequently recovered and
the cargo sold at Honolulu. The bark
was temporarily repaired and orded TO
San Francisco. This misfortune PROV
ed to be a good introduction for the
coal at the Islands, as since that event
the agent at San Francisco, Henry
Lund, has sold 1000 tons for forward
delivery at Honolulu.
The coal is excellent for steam and
gas purposes. 1t is even preferred to
Cardiff for long voyages, because a less
quantity is required to make the trip.
1t is largely used in the British Navy,
and in the Australian and New Zealand
steamer lines. 1t is related as an in
cident of much interest that the safe
ty of the steamer Calliope during the
hurricane at the Samoan Islands sew
eral years ago was due to the fact that
she was supplied with the Westport
Company's coal. She was the only
steamer that rode out the gale I'M
harmed at that time. All the naval
vessels in port at that time had steam
up II hours in advance of the hurri-
cane, and so were on an uqual footing
as to their ability to get out of harm S
way. Unfortunately the others were
not supplied with this kind of coal
Every man in the engine room of the
Calliope remained at his post for 16
hours and the steamer safely wealth
cred the storm.

and ]. P. Lytton found himself last
night at the end of his purse, without
a nickel left.
So far as could be learned, the aim OF
his evangelical" work was TO appeal
to his subjects through the medium of
champagne, in which he INDUCED in a
most appalling way, and in doing this
he spent the whole of his $500. Yes
terday he appeared at the hotel and
confided his impoverished condition.
He was urged to try and recover some
OF his misspent money, but when he
appealed to his would-be converts they
laughed him to scorn.
From friends in Portland he secured
enough money by telegraph late yes
terday afternoon to carry him to that
city on a ministerial railway rate,
which he secured on his credentials.
He left the hotel with a Bible, a prayer
book and quart flask of whisky, and
when last seen on the train he Lad
started in at poker game with some
new-formed friends TO recoup his fall
len fortunes.

ARRIVAL OF SCRAY
New Inter-Island Steamer
From California.
Sister Ship TO Ke Au Hou-Staunch
Steamer for Kauai
Route.

The new I I. S. n. Co.'S steamer
Scray was telephoned early Sunday
morning, and arrived in port about
o'clock. She was II days from San
Francisco, having cleared the Golden
Gate at 10 a. m. of December 30th.
Captain Thompson, formerly of the S.
c. Allen, came down on her as mas
ter; a. W. Keech officiated as engineer
and Mate Nicholson, lately of the Til
lie E. Starbuck, assisted the captain
as first officer.
Mrs Davis and Mrs. Thomas arrived
on the Scray. AS the little vessel was
not allowed TO take passengers from
San Francisco, the ladies were listed
as stewardesses in the crew. The car
go of the steamer consisted of 300 tons
of general merchandise, consigned 10
Brewer & Co. Exceedingly rough
weather was encountered on the yoy-
age. Spoke and passed the schooner
Emma Jewett at 2 p. m. January 9Th,
also en- route to Honolulu.
The Scray is a sister ship to the Re
Au Hou, and of the same tonnage
length and beam. She was built by
Messrs. Hall Bros. at Port Blakely, aud
received her machinery at San Fran
cisco. A w. Keech, who has been n
San Francisco since August oath last
superintended the construction of the
machinery, and the arrangement of
II in the vessel
The Scray will be given another
name and registered under the Ha-
waiian flag. Hon. George n. Wilcox
will name her. There is considerable
speculation along the front as to what
proper name he has chosen for the lit
tie flyer Some say it will be John
Ena, in honor of the vice president
of the l. l. S. N. Co., but as yet Mr.
Wilcox alone has the secret. When
ready for sea the Scray will probably
be put on the Kauai route, running as
an extra boat, as the sugar output from
that island is more than the present
feet can handle.

REV. J. P. LYTTON
Had a High Old Time in
San Francisco.
Went Broke on Wine, Women and
Cards-Gone North.

Rev. ]. P. Lytton, who claims to be
rector of the West Plains Episcopal
Church of West Plains, Mo-, is thor
oughly up to date, says the San Fran
cisco Post of December Sd.
He reached the city on the Australia
from Honolulu Saturday, and told the
people at the Occidental Hotel, where
he was a guest, that he had been visit
ing Bishop Willis of the Hawaiian do
cese.
But the conduct of this gentleman,
who spent his entire time during his
stay here in a manner that has made
the modern type of sport" turn green
with envy, was in marked contrast to
the very high credentials which he
said he carried and which proclaimed
him minister in good standing in the
Episcopal Church.
Very little is known of the ''rever-
end gentleman prior TO his arrival in
this city, except that which is CLEANED
from his fellow cabin passengers,
which characterized Mr.. Lytton as one
of the best fellows in the world VINO
sport the cloth. He could tell more
good stories, drink deeper and more
frequent draughts than any passen-
ger on the ship, and as a card-player
he was without a peer.
But his doings while here afford SUI
ficient material for story of the most
exciting and dramatic character. with
out any reference to the treat which
the passengers of the Australia ex-
perienced at the doings of this rapid
evangelist"
He promptly made himself and his
Connections known when he reached the
Occidental, and although his frequent
and open patronage of the bar excited
some skepticism, he was greeted with
the courtesies universally rendered to
the cloth
He openly displayed about $500 in
gold and announced that his engage
ments demanded his departure on the
steamer sailing for Portland on Mon
day. When Monday came, however.
he had gone such lively pace that
the hotel authorities had wholly lost
track of him and the steamer sailed
minus the person of the Rev" ]. P.
Lytton.
On Saturday afternoon about +
o'clock the alleged divine asked at the
hotel desk that he be made acquainted
with the most experienced hackmGn
in the employ of the management, and
when he was introduced to a worthy
up to all requirements he made con-
tract of indefinite length, giving the
much-pleased driver a handsome re-
tainer's fee at the outset.
For just three days Mr.. Lytton kept
the cabman and the relays which the
latter provided at gait, which they
rarely travelled. The pseudo clergyman
was evidently bent upon the "evangeii-
cation" of the inmates of the most no.
torious dives in the city. He busily
travelled from one to the other, re-
CARELESS of convenience, at all hours,
but the methods which he adopted,
though of the most generous type, were
so modern that they proved effective.

Increase of wealth in Japan.

TOXIC, Dec. 13.-That Japan's
wealth is increasing is proved by the
latest returns of income-tax payments
The tax collected this year has been
about quarter of million yen more
than that collected last year, which
means an increase of tax-paying in
comes to the extent of about twenty
million yen. In 1890, when the tax
began to be levied, the total of the
taxable incomes was eighty-one mil
lion yen; it is now one hundred mil
lions.

INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS.
Some Hare Influence and Some
Hare None-[A Boys Com
Posffion.l

The influence OF newspaper depends,
Some newspapers have influence and
some have none. Some are organs OF
parties and when they sound a key all
the party men get In tune and sing in
harmony with the organ. The organ
leads the concert.
Some papers are not organs and never
will be. Their music is all discord
They cannot sing the same tune alike
two times in the longest month in the
year. They remind me OF poor little
boy who lived in a cabin on the road
side near my fathers home.
In the fruit season, whenever I had
occasion to 60 by his home would take
him an apple, peach or a pear. He
learned to watch for my coming and
would always praise me for my kind
ness and remembrance OF him. He said
! was great fellow. But when the
winter came and the fruit gave out, his
love for me died out. He would sit In
the fence corner and call me bad names
and throw stones and sticks at me.
That boy was bad, he was mean and
ugly. All the boys said so.
Now, some newspapers are like Fred
Hobson, for that was the boys name.
Whenever an Office holder is in a posi-
tion TO help them with little printing,
q public document or little "papr as
they call 1t they blow him sky high and
say he Is great fellow, bigger man
than Goliath, q wiser man than Solo
mon. They run their paper according
TO the measure of his yardstick and his
half bushel. But when that ofiicehold-
er's term expires they begin to throw
mud balls at him and call him dirty
names. Papers of this kind have no
influence. The wells they wear are too
thin. The x ray Of the people shine
through them, the people see them in
their true light. Such papers have no
influence because their nature is to
throw mud but will give praise when
they are paid for it. The people are
not blind, they are not dishonest, they
are not fools. they do not follow the
teachings Of such paper because they
cannot tell from its track whether it
will 60 forward or turn back. This is
what makes me say some papers
have influence and some have none. A
paper should be fair and just with man
whether he is in Office or out of office,
whether he can send them paper of
seed from the government seed store or
whether his supply is exhausted. This
is all ! can think to say on this subject
at this time.
