CAPTAIN SKATERS COMPANY
Having IA Good Time Marching
Round the Island IN the Rain.


The men of the Sixth Artillery are
expo riencing anything but pleasure on
their march around the Island. On
Wednesday morning they broke camp
at Moanalua for Redmond Grove, but
on account Of the heavy roads 1t took
them three hours to make the dis
tance-about six or seven miles.
No EFFORT was made at order on the
march and at the grove Captain Slater
pitched camp and gave the men full
liberty. During the night the rain fell
very heavily and the tents were food
ed. The men resumed their march to-
ward Waialua yesterday morning, feel
ing very stiff and miserable. Last
night they had not arrived there and
the presumption Is that they are
camped by the big stream on the noun
tains midway between Pearl City and
Waialua and that they will arrive at
the latter place today.

WAS HARMONIOUS
Republican Convention at
Boston.
The Administration 10 Endorsed and
Trusts Opposed In The Bay State
denominations Made

BOSTON, Oct. 6.-The Republican
State Convention today was exceeding
ly enthusiastic and harmonious and
nominated the following ticket: Gov
ernor. William hurry Crane, Dalton;
Lieutenant Governor. John l.. Bates.
Boston; Secretary Of State, William M.
Olin. Boston; Attorney General, Hosea
N. Knowlt0n, New Bedford: Auditor.
John w. Kimball. Fitchburg; Treasur-
er and Receiver General, Edward 8.
Bradford, Springfield.
The national administration Is in
dorsed In the following paragraph:
I'VE express our confidence In the
patriotic ideals of President william
Mckinley and the high qualities Of
statesmanship with which he has TN
pressed them ON his administration. He
has enforced an efficient conduct of af-
fairs in evwy department Of the Gov
ernment; he has 90 conducted the dip
lOmatic service - to win for the
United States the respect and admira-
ton OF foreign nations. The recent
war with Spain, which was necessita-
ted by humanity. has been overwhelm-
ingly yindicated by the results 80
speedily and splendidly attained. We
commend the tact. the patience. the
skill and the statesmanlike spirit with
which the President has approached
the perplexing problems arising from
the war. Under the treaty with Spain
the law OF nations put upon the United
States the responsibility for the peace
and security Of life and property. the
well-being and the future government
Of the Philippine Islands. Accepting
this responsibility, II 10 our profound
trust that the present hostilities can
be brought to an early termination and
that Congress, guided by wise and pa
triotic administration will establish
and maintain In these nations, hitherto
the home Of tyrants. Q government al
free. az liberal and - progressive al
our own"
On the subject Of trusts the platform
says; The Republican party OF Mas
sachusetts In unqualihsdly opposed "a
trusts and monopoly and the capital
sation Of fictitious and speculative val
uations."

foul the float. But G. Oliver Iselin had
desperate courage in tight place. He
played the limit. The man who set Q
club topsail In q driving gale In the
deciding race between the Vigilant and
valkyrie II would stop at nothing.
On he came, forcing the Shamrock
to 90 wide around, while the Columbia
seemed to scrape the float as she bore
about with her helm hard down.
Though the Shamrock rounded first by
nine seconds, she swept around SO far
on the outside that as both boats came
up and their sails filled away on the
starboard tack the Columbia not only
had the weather gauge, but was in the
lead.
No more reckless piece of courage
was ever seen In an International race.
It was q desperate game, but It won.
Had the Columbia 20 much - touched
the float she would have been disQuali-
fed. The enthusiasm Of the crowds
broke out again q few minutes later.
when, after q few short tacks, the
Shamrock tried to cross the C0lum-
bias bows. but failed.
The beat to windward was by far the
most interesting part Of the race, while
the breeze held.
A. the wind began to die out and the
hope Of finishing the race began to
vanish the two boats split tacks and
did not come together again for Ions
time, keeping every one guessing which
one was ahead. During this nuky pc
ri0d everybody agreed that the Sham
rock was the better handled. She new.
er failed to take advantage Of every
new slant Of the wind. At last twenty
minutes before the race was declared
on, the Shamrock decided to try con.
illusions and she headed across the Co
iumbia's bow. So uncertain was the
result that no one knew until the
yachts were within hundred feet OF
each other which would have to give
way.
The Yankee shippers had their
hands ON the whistle cords, and when
the Shamrock put her helm up, unable
to make It, from both sides OF the
course came the shrieks Of Thousands
OF whistles. the enthusiastic shouts oil
the multitudes and the crash Of the
bands. They sailed the last twenty
minutes neck and neck, but with the
Columbia to windward and perhaps q
length ahead.
Disappointed. but overjoyed that

APPEAL TO HoHENLoHE.
Owners OF the sfeainer Ask the Ger
man Government to Intervene.

HAMBURG, Dec. 3O.-The directors of the
German East African line have. received
news OF 4saiiP5sfiaf mail
steamer Bundesrath. The commander OF
the port of Durham refused an explanation
of the cause of the seizure. 1t Is declared
here that there was no contraband of war
on board and when application was made
to the German Foreign Office the latter
Immediately promised interposition with
the British government.
The seizure of the Bundesrath was re-
ferred to at a melting of merchants held
here to-day. After a speech by Adolph
Woermann. president of the Hamburg
Chamber of Commerce, dealing with the
great progress of the German "ripire DUR
ing the closing century. Herr Eiffe, speak
ing In behalf of the firms trading with
South Africa. asked whether the chamber
was doing all that was necessary for the
protection of German trade in that part Of
the world. German commerce, he assert
ed had already suffered detriment through
the war in South Africa and now news
came of the seizure Of German steamer
by a British warship.
Herr Woermann replied that the chamber
sentations with the view Of taking action
in the matter. The chamber. he continued,
had been informed that the steamship COM
pany owning the seized vessel had tele-
graphed to Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial
chancellor. asking for government inter-
vention, and 1t was declared that nothing
whatever had been done by tie company
which in any way could be regarded as a
breach Of the neutrality law.
The Handelsblatt publishes reports of in
terviews with DR.. Leyds. In the course of
which the Transvaal representative denies
the statements that munitions of war are
being imported into the Transvaal through
Delagoa bay. and says these reports are
spread as pretext for the coming British
occupation. DR.. Leyds further says that
the Beers are now able to manufactures
their own war munitions.

LONDON, Dec. 81, 4:30 a. m.-The only
important news received from South Af-
rica in the last twentyfour hours is a be-
lated dispatch from Lourenzo Marques giy-
ing the Pretoria version OF a sortie from
Mafeking in which Colonel Baden-Powell
is reported to have lost 100 men. The War
Office, when communicating at about mid
night copies Of a message from the inhab-
itants of Kimberley to the Queen and of
the Queens reply, which was signed by
Sir Arthur John Bigge, her Majesty's pri-
vate secretary stated that no further news
had been received up to that hour. and
nothing of Importance had come from
other sources during the night.
The weeks sorties, skirmishes, recon-
noissances and bombardments at various
points where the British and the Beers
confront each other, so far as can be
judged. have had no effect upon the gen.
eral situation at the seat OF war, which Is
practically the same as It was a week ago.
During the night of Dec. % Ladysmith
and Chievely Camp were in full communi-
cation. While the signaling was In prog
ress the Beers attempted TO muddle the
messages with flashlights from each ex-
tremity of their long, intrenched line. The
naval brigade took advantage of the oppor-
tJinity TO shell the Boer positions, which
were plainly revealed by their own lights.
The naval battery resumed the shelling of
1.-The. Boer trenches on the morning of Dec.
% but their fire failed to elicit any signs
of life. The Boer joke OF firing empty
shells inscribed with greetings has not yet
grown stale with Joubert's men.
A dispatch from Cape Town, dated
Wednesday. Dec. q announced that an ar
morcd train had restored communication

The nonarrival OF the Majectic. due at

that this Is due to the conoltions imposed

ances Count Cassini showed personally the
most friendly spirit toward the American
proposition. as we'll being desirous Of
giving an answer in this case which would
be another instance of the friendly CO.
operation long observed between Russia
and the United States. The Russian po-
sition. II is understood, is similar 10 those
preceding it, with the same condition that
Russia alone shall not be bound, but that
all of the interested countries shall join IN
the agreement to keep the ports OF China
forever open.
In what order in the negotiations Japan S
favorable attitude was made known can
not be stated, but il suffices that Japan
made her position unmistakable in favor
OF the American proposition, with the same
reservation as in all the other cases that
unanimity should be reached. Although
Italy is yet to be heard from definitely, no
doubt is entertained that this country also
will be favorable. thus making complete
the satisfactory responses of all the great
powers.
