DISPOSITIONS OF THE OWNER AND
MASTER TAKEN.
Why Colonel Macfarlane Refuses an
Extension of the Sea Letter-Capt.
Seabury Gives Figures.

Up to press hour today the China
registry matter remains in statu
quo. By the consent of all parties
concerned, Capt. Seabury and Colonel
Macfarlane appeared before Judge
Perry in the Circuit Court this morn
ing and made their dispositions. The
petitioners were represented by Gen
eral Hartwell and the Government by
Minister Cooper and Collector Gen
eral Castle.
Captain Seabury testified that the
China had been running in the Pa
cific Mail Steamship line between
American, Hawaiian and Oriental
ports. The vessel cost S750,000, he
said, but could be built today for
100000. He could not appraise her
value, but had heard Capt. Metcalf,
Llloyd's surveyor in San Francisco,
remark in his presence that the China
was not worth more than 100000.
Colonel Macfarlane then took the
stand and repeated the history of how
he purchased the steamship, giving a
mortgage of 100000 on the vessel;
how he had secured provisional
Hawaiian register for her in London,
and how he had applied to the Col
lector General here for a permanent
register, meeting the requirements of
the law in every particular. He stated
that he had not signed any agreement
to transfer the China back to the Pa
cific Mail Company, nor had he sign
ed any mortgage than the one men
toned.
General Hartwell had not conclud-
ed with his examination of Colonel
Macfarlane when the court took a
recess at 1915 p. IN. until 1880 PIN.
Minister Cooper will cross-eXamine
the witnesses this afternoon.
Colonel Macfarlane stated this
afternoon that the court was taking
his deposition and that of Captain
Seabury in order that they might
leave if it becomes necessary. He
would not say when the China would
sail, nor could he state whether the
the Coptic will be detained here on
her arrival.
1t is stated that Colonel Macfarlane
is willing to accept the proposition of
the Cabinet to extend the China's
sea letter and proceed with her voy-
age provided the condition is made
without prejudice to the case now
in the courts. This the Government
is unwilling to do, so that Colonel
Macfarlane has decided that it is
safer to keep the vessel in port.

ADMIRAL BEARDSLEE CLOSES HIS
SEA CAREER.
A Notable Ceremony Which Takes
Place in Honolulu Harbor-Admiral
Miller Takes Command.

Rear Admiral Beardslee closed his
long and distinguished career in the
American navy when his flag was
hauled down on board the Philadel-
phia this morning. He has made his
last cruise under the Stars and
Stripes, and will spend the remain
ing few months of his term of service
in Washington, where he will act as

time next spring he will be retired

mainder of his days in private life,
The ceremonies attending the trans
fer of the command of the Pacific
squadron to Admiral Miller took
place at 10 o'clock this morning. Amid
the firing of cannon the retiring Ad-
mirals flag was hauled down, and the
new chiefs colors run up. Admiral
Beardslee soon afterward left the
ship, and Admiral Miller assumed
command.

eral and Mrs. Haywood will give a
farewell dinner to Admiral and Mrs.
Beardslee, for which twenty-four in
vitations will be issued. The dinner
will be very swell affair.

WILL SPEND A MONTH ON MAUNA
LoA's SUMMIT.
The Weather is Now Propitious for
the Ascent. and Big Party is Ex-
pected to Go Up on August 2s.
Kona, August 2S.

kona, August 28.
DR.. Guppy, an English scientist, who
has for the last few months been en-
gagged in a series of explorations of the
natural features of Hawaii, accom-
panied by John Casper and his two
sons, leaving Kahauloa on the morn
ing of the 5th, made the summit of
Mauna Loa on the evening of the 7th,
having stopped day at milk ranch
in order to rest the horses. The tent
was pitched close to the edge of the
crater Makuaweoweo and very little
inconvenience was experienced from
the low temperature and rarified at
mosphere. Water was obtained in
abundance, as it lies two feet in depth
in the crevasses, covered with ice but
an inch thick. The horses refused the
unusually cold water at first, but took
it later. Firewood, left by former
party, was obtained near at hand;
also an oil stove and oil, left by the
same party. Mr.. Casper, who made
the ascent in April, 1896, with Fried
lander, found the cones which were
then pouring forth smoke and some
fire, dead. Several blow-holes were
belching forth steam, but these were
close to the edge of the crater nd
seemed to be on the line of the sor-
mer circumference, which is enlarged.
The conditions for an easy and
safe ascent of the mountain are very
favorable at the present time. At an
altitude of 10000 feet the temperature
was but 3S degrees. A hard crust of
ice covers the lakes, making travel
safe.
Mr.. Casper and his sons remained at
the summit all night, starting down
the mountain at o'clock On the
afternoon of the sth, and reaching
home on .he following morning, after
cropping all night in a thick fog. DR..
Guppy was left on the summit. plell-
tifully supplied with provisions. Ho
| expects to remain there For tnree
| weeks, and perhaps longer, studying
| the crater. On the 2Sth nary will
make the ascent under the 2 iidance
of Mr.. Casper to carry provisions to
the scientist. Mr.. Casper is anxious
to make up a large party. and is pre-
| pared to take all comers, providing
them with horses and food, at a rate
of $50 each.

1t is always gratifying to receive
testimonials for Chamberlain's Collie,

when the endorsement is from ply

MISS WILDER COMPLIMENTED.
Applauded by "Sea Breezes" for Her
Humane Work.

One of the most pleasing events we
have to record i'm our issue is the very
commendable action of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails, in disregarding the standing of
any person who infringes on its plat
form. To Miss Helen Wilder we eX-
tend our heartiest congratulations on
the able and persevering manner in
which she brought the offender to
justice and the example she sets
could be followed with advantage by
some of the leading citizens of this
city. In this Christian community,
such un-Christian acts should be con-
spicous by their absence. Horses are,
no doubt, an expensive luxury, which
the average mortal finds is beyond his
means, but it is no excuse for some of
the aged and decripit animals we see
occasionally driven at breackneck
speed on our leading thoroughfares.
We are with you heart and soul, Miss
Wilder, and continuation of the
same fearlessness will no doubt cause
decrease in the ranks of the Offend
ers.-Sea Breezes.

HANDSOME STRUCTURE.
Emmeluth & Co. Domiciled in Their
New Building.

That the firm of Emmeluth & Co.
believe in the future of Hawaii is
demonstrated by the erecting of their
new building on King street, which is
to be occupied solely by them.
Realizing the necessity of larger
and more spacious quarters with bet
ter lighted show rooms, and the adj
vantage of location, the present home
on one of Honolulu's main business
thoroughfares is the best possible.
The premises devoted to the busi-
ness consist of a three-story brick
and stone building of ample dimen-
sions with basement.
The third floor is utilized as a work
shop, and is provided with appliances
for the execution of all kinds of tin,
copper, zinc and sheet-iron work to
order by skilled and experienced
workmen. On the main floor is to be
found everything in the line of
plumbing goods, stoves and household
supplies.
A feature well worth mentioning is
the elevator used for the conveyance
of patrons to the upper show rooms
The interior arrangements are such
as to give the best display to all
lines.
The store is well stocked in all de-
partments, and no better line OF
goods of this character is to be
found in the city.

MRS. GARTENBERG ILL.
Her Husband Charters the Cummins
To Take Him to Her Side.

Abe Gartenberg, secretary of Grin
baum & Co., received word by the
Mauna Loa yesterday that his wife,
now visiting at Keauhou in the
Kona district, is dangerously i'll. AS
there is no steamer for Hawaii ports
until next Tuesday, Mr.. Gartenberg
at once chartered the j. A. Cummins
to take him to his wife's bedside.
The little steamer left at $3.50 this
morning on her special mission, and
Captain Searle expressed the hope that
he could make the port of Keauhou
by 10 o'clock tonight. If the moon
is bright he will probably be able to
land Mr.. Gartenberg; if not, he must
wait off port until daylight.

of 81 to IA. a drizzling rain fell dur

McCormac and Tozer of the Naval
team proved to be an excellent bat
terry. DR.. Smith on first base, Captain
Willard on second base. and Burt on
third did good work for their side.
GForge Howard pitched for the
Townies at the beginning of the
game, when he was relieved by Willie
Lucas. First Baseman Ned Adams
was clever in the field and at the bat.
DR.. Nichols scored the only home run
of the day. E. A. Mott-Smith, John

THE COMMITTEE TO MEET TO-DAY.
They VIII Review the Evidence and
Formulate Their Report.

The committee repaired from Lee Camp
Hall directly TO their room at Murphy's
Hotel, and before they partook OF supper
they assembled for the purpose of formu-
lating their report. They decided, how
ever. that 1t would be unwise for them
to do anything along this line until they
had transcripts of the evidence before
them. and as the stenographer would not
be able to furnish these transcripts until
this morning. the committee adjourned
over until A. NJ, when they will get TO
work and make up their report.
Ii is a peculiar circumstance that the
report will have to be addressed and for
warded to Grand Commander Stubs,
who is the only man who was under trial
before them. They will. however. not
wait for the Grand Commander to give
this report to the public but will, as
soon as 1t is concluded, give 1t out them
selves.
Naturally. they will not discuss their
report now, but speculation concerning
IL is rife and the impression seems to
prevail that no specific charge or finding
against Colonel Stubs will be made. 1t
Is not thought that Colonel Stubs will
resign his position as Grand Commander
or as chairman Of the History Commit
tee. though, as to this. he declines to say.
preferring to wait. before talking. until
he sees the report OF the committee.
