-FOUR VESSELS TO ROUND THE
HORN.
Ten More Here Which Will Carry Su-
gar to the Coast-Fourteen Island
Steamers in Two Days.

Four of the round the Horn sugar
fleet are in port. They are the st.
Francis, w. f. Babcock and Willscott
These vessels are chartered in the
names of different plantation agencies
but this is merely for convenience as
by agreement nearly every agency
will be representa- in each cargo.
The bulk of the sugar crop this year
goes to the Trust. The annexation of
the Islands with the probability that
the navigation laws will soon be eX-
tended to them, making traffic be-
tween here and any part of the Unit
ed States coastwise trade to be carri-
ed on only in American bottoms, has
complicated the problem of getting
the sugar around the Horn. None but
American vessels have been chartered
for this traffic. But the number of
available American vessels is limited.
So by arrangement the sugar of the
different agencies will be distributed
ience of the Trust, which is the pur-
chaser.
There is good deal of interest man.
ifested as to when the first of the fleet
will sail. The st. Francis has already
lOdUeu Il llUlle. Dub lneIt are 81 man
vessels waiting for sugar cargoes to
the coast that it is probable that some
at least of these will be loaded before
any more is put aboard for the long
voyage.
1t is probable that the Nuuanu will
sail first. She is now discharging. As
soon as this is completed she will put
enough sugar aboard for stiffening,
and then go to Kahului, where a car
go will be awaiting her.
The Babcock and Willscott will not
be through discharging for some time.
Irwin & Co. have four vessels wait
ing for sugar for the coast, the Alden
Besse, w. II. Dimond, Diamond Head
and John d. Spreckels. The Andrew
Welch, the Archer and Aloha all have
parts of their cargo aboard and are
waiting for more. The Mohican, X. p
Rithet and Irmgard will be ready as
soon as the sugar is ready for them.
Most of the sugar just now is com
ing from Kauai. The mills there seem
to be turning it out as fast as the
steamers can bring it here. BY last
reports there were upwards of 10000
bags awaiting shipment.
Ten steamers sailed yesterday, OF
which five went to Kauai, two to Ha
waii, one to Maui, one to Molokai and
Lanai, and one to Oahu plantations
Four sail today, two for Kauai, one
| for Hawaii and one for Maui.

A STRANGE DUPLICATION.

Something unusual in shipping is
the presence in this port at the same
same time of two British barks of the
same name and each coal laden. One
of them is the four masted iron bark
Dominion from Baltimore, which ar
rived here November 14th. The other
is the three masted wooden bark Do
minion, which arrived here yesterday
from Newcastle. AS they are both
coal laden the duplication of names
causes no trouble. But if they had
carried general merchandise there
would undoubtedly have followed
great confusion.
None of the ancient mariners of the
water front remembers a similar du-
plication of names of vessels of the
same rig carrying the same flag IN
this port before.

AOOGTW PLANTATION SUGAR IS ON THE MOVE DAVIS PETITIONS AGAIN
BUT CHIEF JUSTICE DECLINES
HABEAs CORPUS.
The Lawyer Must Stay in Prison I'm
til Next Sunday-Other Interesting
Matters.

Attorney George \. Davis today
made an appeal to the full supreme
court for writ of habeas corpus in
order that the justice of his imprison-
ment after January 2nd may be in-
quired into. Chief Justice Judd de-
clined the writ. His order, which al
so explains the petition, is as follows:
Whereas, on reading petition of
George \. Davis, Esq, dated the 4th
day of January, 1899, praying for a
writ of habeas corpus in his own be-
half, find that the petitioner alleges
that he was fined for contempt of
court by Hon. Judge Perry, circuit
judge, at chambers, and was held by
the marshal in prison under a certain
mittimus of the said Judge, dated the
gath day of December, 1898, which is
referred to in said petition and made
a part thereof; and
Whereas, reference to copies there
of on the files of this court shows that
the petitioner was ordered to be inn
prisoned until the said fine was paid,
and
Whereas, ii appears by said petit
toners petition that the fine was paid
to the said marshal on the Goth day of
December, 1898, and,
Whereas, in the said petition and
reference to the second mittimus re-
ferred to in said petition it appears
that on the said 24th of December,
1898, the said Hon. Judge Perry, sit
ting as aforesaid, sentenced the said
petitioner to be imprisoned for con-
tempt of court for the term of ten
days, the said sentence to take effect
from the expiration of any former
sentence, and
Whereas, it appears that on this
4th day of January, 1899, the period of
ten days from the day the said fine
| under the former sentence, to-wit, the
30th of December, 1898, was paid, has
not yet expired, and will not expire
until Sunday the sth of January, 1899,
decline to allow the wriS hereinbe-
fore prayed for
With the petition Mr.. Davis filed his
certificate of denzation in the Repub-
lie of Hawaii and also a letter of in
! PRODUCTION from a United States con-
| sui in New Brunswick to President
| Dole He stated that he was a citizen
of the United States and practition-
er in good standing before the courts
of Hawaii A number of side matters
like these were incorporated in the
petition, giving the paper consider
able length.
In the assumpsit matter of YIN
Quon VS.. w. C. Achi, the clerk of court
has filed Judgment for petitioner in
the sum of $9SO.S5. Judgment for that
amount was confessed by defendant
at the last circuit term.
DIR. F. L. Miner has filed a petition
for the appointment of David Dayton
as administrator of the estate of the
late. Mrs. Larenza Marie Hammer. The
petition will be heard on February 3.
Respondents answer has been filed
in the matter of the application of

damus against F. b. McStocker, collec-
tor of customs, to compel the regis
tration of the ship Euterpe under the

EDWARD POLLITZ PREDICTS IT
OF SPRECKELSVILLE.
Says 1t VIII be the First in the Is
lands to Attain That Magnitude
Raising Sugar Now.

Edward Pollitz, the man who made
the coup in Hawaiian Commercial by
which the ownership and control of
that plantation was wrested from the
Spreckels, is in the Islands for IA stay
of "a couple of weeks.
81 am down here simply to keep
in touch with sugar interests" he
said. "One can't keep in touch with
them in San Francisco.
what made the break in Hawaiian
Commercial stock after the change
of management? Manipulation; brok-
ers like everybody else are human,
and of course everybody wasn't in on
the deal that changed the management
and sent the price up. Some of them
were envious perhaps and they were
temporarily able to break the mar
ket. 1t didn't affect the company in
the least. 1t simply scared some hold
ers and they let go. Those who had
confidence made money because you
could buy more stock when it got
down to 40 than you could when it
was at SO. 1t is around 60 now and
am confident it will go to 100 or over
with two years. Hawaiian CONNER
cial will be the first 10000 ton planta-
ton in the Islands, and it will be a
100000 ton plantation in two years.
"All the litigation which it has car.
ried on for years is now in process OF
settlement. both that with Wailuku
over water, and that with the Kahului
railroad over wharfage"
Mr.. Pollitz considers Hawaiian Com.
mercial the best sugar proposition in
the Islands, now that it has a manage,
ment directed to raising sugar in
stead of raising cane.

INTERESTING RELIC.

Christ church, Oxford, has just re-
covered an interesting relic i'll the
shape OF the cardinals hat of its
founder, Thomas Wolsey. 1t is said
that the relic can be traced back
without a break through Horace Wal
poles collection TO bishop Burnet,
who seems to have appropriated 1t
from the royal wardrobe, of which he
was the clerk. 1t has been suggested
that the relic should be hung in the
hall under the portrait of the famous
cardinal.

CRISIS ARISES IN SAMOA
THREATS TO KILL THE CHIEF
JUSTICE.
British and American Consuls Raise
Their Respective Flags Over the
Chief Justices Residence.
There is a crisis in Samoa.

There is a crisis in Samoa.
The chief justice began the case of
Mataafa VS.. Malietoa which is to decide
the succession to the throne, on Mon
day, December 10th. Monday night
his family was aroused to learn that
his house was surrounded by armed
men. This in connection with ru-
mors that had been spread that an at
tempt would be made to blow up the
chief Justices house and kill him and
his family, thoroughly alarmed every
body. 1t turned out however that
the armed men were friendly natives
who had heard the rumors and had
come to prevent their being carried
out. The next day the American and
British consuls raised their respective
flags over the chief Justices house and
issued proclamations warning all per-
sons against any attempts against the
chief justice or any of his family. The
chiefs of the respective claimants for
the throne offered to try and discover
who it was that had made the threats
and to punish them.
Three days were to be given to each
claimant to the throne to establish
his case. A written decision was then
promised on the Goth or 30th of De-
cember. The Malietoa chiefs signed
an agreement to abide by the decision
of the court. The Mataafa chiefs,
however, refused to do this.

THE UNsPEAKABLE TURK.

nose who prate about the immor-
ality of the Turk and of Mohamme-
danlsm ought to consider for mo
ment just now much--or rather how
little-they know about the matter.
Islam as theory may be all wrong,
but it's practical results are often wor-
thy of notice. In no large city of Eu-
rope or America is there so little pub
lie drunkenness as in Constantinople,
and the sight of an intoxicated Turk
is almost unknown.-Ch Record.

way northward from Uganda to Lake
Rudolph. He is now about to descend
the River Sobat, which empties into
the Nile, and make his way towards

a big stroke in>the way of establish
ing British claims to a vast territory.

FALLS OF CLYDE.
Big British Ship Bought for the Su
gar Trade.


SAN FRANCISCO, December 23.-
The ]. d. Spreckels q Bros. Co. has
purchased the British ship Falls of
Clyde, 1,741 tons, for e11,000. The
ship arrived here November 18th from
London. Since discharging she has
been laid off Sausalito, The ship is
designed for the Hawaiian sugar bust
ness, but to enter that trade she must
get American or Hawaiian registry.
This is the largest vessel yet secured
for this business. The next largest
is the Roderick Dhu, 1897 tons, for
merly under the British, but now un-
der the Hawaiian flag and owned by
the same parties. Nearly all the YES
sells in the Hawaiian sugar trade regis
ter less than 900 tons. Larger ships
are probably more economical, and in
time they may supplant those in SER
