the sum of $S29,60495. We quote
i,om the article the following: X

On the Reef.

The ship Edward O'Brien, with
cargo of coal for the l. l. S. N. Co.
struck the outside reef this morning
not far from the spot where the
Miowera at one time got into pilikia.
The ship anchored early this morn
ing off the outer buoys. Her an
chors dragged and in spite Of the
efforts of the captain and crew she
drifted into the reef.
She is large vessel carrying about
2700 tons of coal and was chartered
to take sugar from here to New
York. Experts on the waterfront
have no hope that she will escape
being a total wreck The Iroquois
went to her assistance as soou as
"red tape" would allow it, and the
available steamers in port have as
sisted in towing her off the reef, If
no heavy swell sets in the fine ves-
sci may yet escape the fate of her
ill.fated predecessors

Chinese Built Steam Launches for
Manila.

HoNeKoNe, Jan. "a No ono enter

notice the number and superiority y
Of the steam launches that ply here,
aud is not surprised to learn that a
large and growing trade is done
with other ports along the coast in
these useful crafts. Three were pur-
chased by Mr.. Robinson for the Am
erican Government, and started for
Manila to day. All we're built and
engined by Chinese in Hongkoug,
Tong Tai having the contract TO
furnish them with Goals and provi-

new, Capt. Walls being in charge.
Her dimensions areS7 feet in length,

Of feet, having a displacement of
100 tons; the others are slightly
smaller. They are all fitted with
compound condensing engines and
with ITO lbs. steam pressure can
travel from 50 to IL knots an hour.
Capt. Hately, who has had the re-
sponsibility of getting them ready
for the trip, has done everything to
make the voyage as secure as possi-
BILE, having them all fitted with two
masts with sails, whaleback decks
both fore and aft, and carrying a
verv liberal allowance of both coal
and provisions. They underwent
their steam trials last Friday very
satisfactorily, and Capt. Hately,
who is going in the Lee Fat, is con-
fdent Of their thorough sea-going
capabilities. They will principally
be employed, when they arrive at
Manila, in the transport of troops
along the coast and up the rivers
for the American Government.

May we ask the writer of the arti-

to ''excite apprehension ard fear of
financial panic?" Is the reserve in
the Treasury such contraction of
the currency as to create a'arm2
Have prices of commodities fallen;
one of the first signs of a dangerous
contraction? Is it not fact that
prices are advancing? Have not our
builders and contractors stated pub

vance in building materials Did
not the sale OF real estate on Satur-
day last prove conclusively that
there is currency enough for all leg

But the Advertisers financial
writer goes on to say as to conditions
in the United States in 1886, that
"the money market became stripg-
ent, and the prices of stock declin-
ed" Do not the reports of the "Ho-
nolulu Stock Exchange" show a
steady advance in prices OF sound
stocks for the past month? Where
in then have we any signs of such a
contraction OF the currency that
should cause apprehension and fear
of financial panics" to the general
public?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-02-27

The writer under review then
goes on to state that in the United
States in 1886, when the Treasury at
Washington held $250,OC0,OO0, the
bankers became alarmed. Have our
bankers shown any alarm at what
the Advertiser styles blocking up
of money!" Is it not fact that the
banks of our city have money enough
for all legitimate business?

Until the we'll known symptoms
of dangerous contraction OF currency
are clearly indicated in other chan
nels of trade than stock gambling
we would advise good citizens to
support the Minister of Finance in
a reasonable financial policy. In the
meantime give a wide berth to the
charmers who offer shares in corpo-
rations that are as yet in the dough,
not being even half baked, of which
are Kihei, Lanai and possibly others.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-02-27

No, the only place where the signs
indicate a panic feeling is in the
breasts of the quartette OF promot-
ers who have the Kihei scheme in
hand. If The INDEPENDENT believed
in gambling, and was in the habit of
giving "pointers" to its patrons, it
would say that odds might be laid
that the Advertisers so-called finan-
csal article was inspired by one of
the aforesaid quartette.

The Differentiation of tho Long Island

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir, In tho earlier
days OF Long Island the Smith families were 80 nu.

was sufficient to positively designate them; 10 that
for still further identification was had to
an additional expedicnt
John Smith. the first settler in Merrick and tho
progenitor of a numerous offspring, was generally
known as John Rock Smith his name was so writ
ten in various deeds and wills. This came about
from his having built in Stamford. Conn, before
coming here. house. the wall OF which on one side
was composed in part Of huge rock-too large for
removal. and which also did duty as the back Of
fire place. His descendants are still known IA the
Rock SmithB.'
The Weight Smiths were so named because tho
head OF that family possessed the only set of weights
and measures in the vicinity where he resided; the
Block Smiths owed their identity to the placing in
front Of the house of horse block for the mothers
convenience; and the ancestor OF the Black Smiths
had no connection with the village smithy, but was
OF an exceedingly dark complexion.
In and about Patchogue not many years ago there
were five William Smiths, each distinguished by a
nickname known and utilized by all their neigh

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH EXPORTS
Now About Equal in Value, With America
Gaining.
From II. London Financial Ntws.

From the London Financial Ntrs.
The total value OF the exports from the United
States during the year ended June 30 last was
S1,227,443,425 During the six months ended
on the same date the total value OF English ex-
ports was G126.52l S94. Multiply this figure by
wo. and turn the result into dollars and you
get say, S1,2U5, 2lSOO0 to compare with the
American total.
Practically. then. the United States export
trade has now about an equal aggregate value
with our own. while the more valuable home
market is in her case roughly twice as large as
ours. The significance OF this comparison Ia
heightened by recollection OF the circumstances
that-taking series Of years and a per head
basis-our export trade ia, despite the recent
squirt, marked by retrOgression rather than by
progress. and that our rivals represents pro-
digious growth-a growth showing no signs OF
diminution.
The big American increase-and It may be
regarded as the central fact in the situation
has been in manufactures. 1t can hardly be
necessary to tell our readers with what special
force American development In this direction
strikes at England. or to discourse to them on
the comparative value OF an export trade in
manufactures over one in raw materials and
primary articles Of merchandise: but it is i'm
portant that they should bear these facts in
mind, to illuminate their reading OF the con-
tinued expansion of the exports from the
United States OF articles other than the four
staples-breadstuffs raw cotton. provisions and
petroleum.

in 1893. no loss than 0l3 had declared their ad-
hersion. Zionist press arose in almost every
country; meetings were held in every city
in which jews dwell and an enthusiasm
evoked which Jewry had not known
for two thousand years. As IL with
magic word a centre had been
found around which all the dyerging in
tcrests OF Judaism. racial and religious. could
congregate. The Paris Sanhedrim in 1907 was
the expression OF the will OF one man-Nnpo-
leon. II was in the interests of only ono sec
tion ofJewry. the French. The various Synods
held in Germany and in America were purely re-
ligious in character and represented one direc-
tion OF Jewish religious thought. In Basic, in
1897 and 1893. Jewry was represented in its
totalty. both in all its political and in all its
religious divisions
During the past year the Jewish Company
was founded. II Is styled 1.-The Jewish Colonial

duct general banking business. 1t can build

Xionists. In July last the following official
statement was made by the directors. in an
swer to an inquiry by the Secretary OF the Lon
don Stock Exchange: THE directors of the
jewish Colonial Trust proceeded to allotment

applied for amounted TO 100000 The whole

while remittances for the second in
stallment are already coming in. Subscriptions
have beea received from nearly 1000 towns
all over the world The number Of share
holders exceeds 100000. The promoters have
not derived, nor will they derive any pecuniarv
profit whatsoever from the money which they
advanced for the expenses in the formation OF

out OF revenue; nor has there been any UNDER

from the various powers in Europe. When
these two things are once gotten. colonization

| ing the Bancroft, and later another Michi-
gan firm the lowest on the composite gum
boats, these vessels to DO taken through
tho canals unarmed and delivered on the
Atlantic coast, In both cases the bids
were thrown out on account OF the treaty
stipulation that ono other vessel OF war
shall there DO built or armed" Still, our
Government might not be averse to modl-
flying and undermining the treaty little.
A naval Board appointed by Secretary
LoSa recommended, we believe, that the
limit should DO two gunboats OF about
200 tons displacement, or like the MARI
eta class, and that ships could be built on
the lakes for ocean service; and these
recommendations as we have noted. were
approved by a committee OF the Joint High
Commission.
IT, however no objection should be made
to our substituting modern gunboat for
the Michigan, 1t might be well to conflne our
selves to that, without modifying tho trea-
ty. For. apart from revenue cutters which
are held to be not excluded by the treaty,
Canada has maintained no armed vessel at
all on tho lakes, whereas formal allowance
Of two gunboats might suggest to her that
she make use Of that privilege. She might
be glad to have training ships for a naval
reserve OF her own.
