that from an economical stand
point if parties on both sides of
Ma IL street had been consulted,
lie new ditch might have been
dug in the center of Main, and
thereby reduced expenses.

Tie Fight.

and the Times, Journal, World, and, in

be chosen as the battle ground and we

rectors to nine, who meet once month
for the transaction of the business Of

Restaurant Robbed.

Someone got into the Astor House
restaurant near No. 2 Engine House
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing and stole therefrom, the sum of
$500. The entrance was made in a
very bold manner by simply crawling
through the window on the Engine
House side. The thief must have had
an accomplice else, it is hardly rea-
sonable to suppose, that he would have
done as he did After climbing in, he
scratched matches all the way to where
the money was. 1t so happened that
the proprietor left l$35 securely hid
den behind some articles, as he
thought. The thief must have been
familiar with his bearings as he went
right to the spot. No other place was
bothered and no other money was in
the place. This is the third time that
the Astor House restaurant has been
robbed

Will Challenge E?

There is talk to the effect that Com
pany F of the regulars will challenge
Company E to a shoot in the near flu
ture. This all comes from certain talk
that was done before and after the
shoot for the Marlin trophy last Satur-
day. Company F has won the shoot
twice in succession, and some mem
bers of the team were sure they were
going to win last Saturday. They
thought differently after the shoot.
However, they were game enough to
come right up and make the PROPOSE
ton to challenge E, seeing that that
company did better work than they.
A contest between the two regular
companies would create great deal of
interest.

Honolulu Bicycle Company's Ele


Enthusiastically, the above company
has the handsomest and most tastefully
arranged bicycle establishment in this
city. A visit quickly convinces one
that Manager Hitchcock knows the
bicycle business from A to z. The
show windows are very tastefully ar
ranged, and in them are shown la
dies and gents model Of the "Kensing-
ton" bicycle, which is most emphatic
ally the finest high-grade wheel ever
shown here; and is, without doubt,
the finest wheel now made in the
United States. The bearings in this
wheel are revelation in dust-proof
and Oil retaining qualities. and are not
ecualled in any other make of Wheel
There are on exhibition in one of the
show windows, complete set of the
s'Kensington" bearings with drawings
in explanation. The work on these
bearings, and the material of which
they are made, are not equalled in any
other wheel The company also handle
the "Sylph" which comes in after the
"Kensington" as good second. Upon
entering the store one is at once struck
with the interior arrangement for the
display of wheels and sundries, which
for economy in space, is certainly
unique, and shows off the elegant line
of wheels to the best advantage The
repair department of this establish
ment is without question the most COM
plete Of any in the city, and will con-
tain ten or twelve different pieces Of
machinery for use in the repair of
bicycles, etc. The company can well
feel proud of their establishment.

HARDSHIPS OF SAILORS
SHTPWRECEkED MARINERS DRIFT ON
THE PACIFIC FOR MANY DAYS,
With Little Food and Water, and
They Remain Over Ten Months.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 23.--The story Of
the fate of the missing Norwegian bark
Seladon was confirmed to-day on the arri-
val of the steamship Mouana from Sydney
The SeladOn left New Castle, N. S. W., on
July IL, 1896. for Honolulu, with full cargo
of coal. On the night of Aug. Z, at II 80
o'clock, the vessel struck Starbuck island
while running at a speed of seven knots
and fifteen minutes later four feet of water
was reported in the hold. Two boats were
launched with crews of eight men each.
After laying by the vessel until daylight
Captain Jeger decided to make for MAIDEN
island which he reckoned to be two days
sail. Having nothing but a chart and COM
pass, however, the boats missed the island
and attempted to make Christmas island
but missed that also. They then ran be-
fore wind and for eleven days proceeded
without a mishap. On Aug. IS the gig cap
sized and all its occupants, except Chief
Officer Kris Nelson, who was drowned
were picked up by the other boat. Captain
Jeger died of exhaustion on Aug "a and
was buried. On the twenty-third day out
Aug 80, the fourteen men divided their last
tin of meat, five pounds, which lasted three
days. Meantime they were dependent on
occasional showers OF rain for their water
supply rOr SIX more Gays Iney sailed on,
too weak to move, and when all hope had
been given no their boat ran upon the
reef of Sophia island and cast them ashore.
Fortunately, they were picked up by ma
tives who treated them with the utmost
kindness, but the ships carpenter, T. Oh
sen, died from the result of his exposure
a few days later. After subsisting on CO.
coanuts, turtle and sea birds for ten months
and ten days, the steamer Clyde. bound for
Auckland, was sighted and Captain Gala
CHAN took the shipwrecked men to Fiji,
where they We're transferred to the bark
Ellen, which conveyed them to Sydney.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The San Fran
cisco, with Admiral Selfridge aboard, ar
rived to-day at Gibraltar from Tangier and
it was stated at the Navy Department that
she would probably start eastward, cruis-
ing slowly up the Mediterranean until she
reached the coast of Syria. If she had any
punitive mission in view when she crossed
the straits to Tangier the fact was care
fully concealed at the Navy Department
The former claims referred to in the cable
dispatch were based upon the maltreatment
of certain native defendants of an Ameri-
can and their prevention from doing bust
ness in Morocco. Under the provisions of
the eXtraterritOrial law which governs in
such semi barbarous countries of Africa
and Asia resident Americans and Euro
peans are privileged to take under the pro-
lection of their nationality limited num-
Der of native servants and this privilege mas
been construed to permit business men to
thus engage buyers and traders in their
interest. Some months ago some of the
clerks of an American trader in a town near
Tangier were set upon, beaten and robbed
of their employers money and goods. This
happened directly before the residence Of
the principal functionary of the place. COM
paint was made TO the Moroccan govern
ment by United States Consul General
Burke but without erect. lie thereupon
notified the State Department and at his
instance the United States steamer Raleigh
was sent to Tangler. The effect on the Sui
tan was immediate. Ee caused the arrest
of the Moors supposed to have been the
perpetrators of the assault and promised
restitution of the money lost. The Raleigh
afterwards cruised along the coast of Mo-
rocco well to the eastward and in his last
report to the State Department Consul Cen
eral Burke stated that her presence had
undoubtedly done much to cause the natives
to respect the United States flag and to
prevent recurrence of the outrage.
Late this afternoon a long cablegram was
dispatched from the Navy Department and
it is possible that it contained instructions
to Admiral Selfrldge to cooperate with
Consul General Burke in case he NETS with
opposition in his efforts to secure protec-
ton for American interests there
