M|DOCEAN MAIL TRANSFER
HONOLULU AT THE CROSS ROADS
OF THE PACIFIC.
Postal Changes Which Shortens Mail
Time Between the states and the
Australian Colonies.

Honolulu is the only mid ocean mail
transfer point in the world. The San
Francisco Examiner of February 10th
tells of a postal change which short
ems the mail time between San Fran
cisco and Australia four days
This important change, says the EX~
aminer, which was suggested to the de-
partment by Postmaster Montague, is
authorized by letter received from
r. NJ. Brooke, superintendent of for
eign mails of the department. The
first mail to be accelerated by the new
change was carried from this city on
the steamer Australia.
The change, although so important
in its results, was of very easy aC-
complishment. 1t consisted simply in
authorizing and arranging for the
transfer of mails at Honolulu. 1t
makes of Honolulu the only mid-ocean
transfer point in the world.
II. j. Ford the superintendent of the
mails in the city, talked very freely of
the change
The gain in time is easily explained
The two steamship lines which carry
the mails between Australia and New
Zealand and this coast are the Oceanic
and the Canadian Australian. San
Francisco is terminus of the former
and Vancouver of the latter, and both
are subsidized by the New Zealand
government.
Those two companies have alternated
in carrying the mails from this coast.
If, for instance, an Oceanic steamer
carrying mail started from here today
the next mail would be carried two
days from now from Vancouver by a
Canadian Australian boat.
When the mail started from here
the people of San Francisco and vicin-
ity were all right; when it started from
Vancouver they were four or five days
wrong. AS it takes four days to carry
the mail from here to Vancouver, let
ters from here were necessarily four
days more in reaching their destination
than they would have been could they
have gone direct. If a boat were leav-
ing Vancouver on the 2Oth for instance,
no mail for it could be received here
for it after the 18th. After that it
would have to wait for the next mail
steamer leaving here.
Now, the change is simply this. We
are authorized to send mail from here
by any outgoing steamer up to any
date when it can catch the Vancouver
steamer at Honolulu. There we are
authorized to transfer the mails to
that steamer. To illustrate: On March
9th the Warrimoo leaves Vancouver
Heretofore all mail going by her must
| have been received here by March 5th
But the Gaelic leaves here on March
| 9th, and under the new order mail viii
be shipped by her to he transferred t
| the Warrimoo at Honolulu. And az
| the time from here to the ISLANDS il
| one day less than from Vancouver
| the Gaelic might leave here one day
| later and still carry the mail. SO ever
a resident of the east may lesson tn,
| mail time to Australia or New Zealand
| by sending his letters this way.
| It is believed that the governmen
may secure a dock for mail transfer
| purposes at Honolulu.

THREE DECISIONS FILED
SUPREME COURT DECIDES OLD
CIVIL MATTERS.
Macfarlane Suit Against Wilder in Fa-
vor of Defendant-Harry Saylor Lii
bel Decision.

The supreme court today handed
down a decision in the matter of En-
lei Macfarlane VS.. Elizabeth X. Will
der and G. l.. Wight, ejeCtment, over
ruling the exceptions of plaintiff. thus
supporting the verdict of the circuit
Judge.
Another decision filed was Theo.
Hoffman VS.. J. s. Bailey, assumpsit ov-
eTruling the exceptions of plaintiff and
finding for defendant, sustaining the
decision of the circuit judge. This is
suit for S22.50.
In the case Of Harry b. Saylor VS..
the Hawaiian Star Newspaper Associa-
ton, Limited, damages, the supreme
court today filed a decision overruling
exceptions of defendant corporation,
on the ground that it was moved be-
fore the trial judge that the objection
able testimony be stricken out. In
concluding the court prefaces a clause
to the effect that the verdict was with
in the province of the jury with this
remark I'VE wish to remark that tho
verdict for $500 damages seems large
to us, considering the prompt correc-
tiCn made and the fact that the obnox-
ious item was a pure mistake of fact
After the decision was filed this
morning defendant preferred writ or
error, which contains this clause:
THAT only ten of the twelve jurors
| in said case gave their assent to said
! verdict"
! Which. it is claimed, is contrary to
| the constitution of the United States.
| The papers are now out for service.
| In the circuit court this morning the
motion of Mazda, sentenced to impris-
onment for life for crime committed
| at Eva, motion for new trial was ov-
erruled. Exceptions and appeal.

SPORTS OF EVERY ORDER.
WHAT ATHLETES AND YACHTS
MEN ARE DOING.
Inter Collegiate Baseball Series to Be
gin This Afternoon-Cricket
Around Oahu.

The first game of baseball in the in
ter-collegiate league will be played on
the grounds at Makiki this afternoon,
beginning at $3.50 sharp. Kamehameha
school and Punahou college will cross
bats at that time. Both teams are in
the very best of shape. There will be
five games in the series.
This afternoon there will be a match
game of cricket on the old baseball
grounds between the officers of the
cricket club and the members of the
same. Friends are invited to be pres
ent. If there is holiday next We'd
nesday, Theo. II. Davies & Co.'S team
will play the Honolulus at the same
place. 1t now appears that all of
Wednesday will be taken by the gov
ernment, pro forma, and that business
houses will close at noon, at least.
All of the city ball teams will begin
practice in earnest next week. With
the Engineers four teams are in this
year A meeting will be held during
the week to arrange for the schedule.
1t will not be possible now to begin the
season until well along in April, per-
haps about the 18th.
1t is feared that the attempt of the
Engineers to put in a baseball team
is a mistake. OF course all are anxious
for them to play ball, but the doubt
about the corps remaining here until
a damper on the project If the sol
diers should run ahead in the series il
would be a sad disappointment to
their friends and admirers to have
them pull out before the finish
Yachtsmen are Just now waiting for
the weather to settle to begin the new
season. One of the schemes planned
for the first turn of fine weather is a
sail around the Island of Oahu by a
fleet of as many yachts as will go in
Most of the principal yacht owners
have signified their Willingness to en-
| ter. The sail will interest not only
the sportsmen but the city generally.
| Medal shooting in Company d, N. G
| H. has come to a close. The prizes
| are gold. silver and bronze, of hand
some design and finish, the backs OF
| which are made from a piece of one OF
| the old N. G.. H. cannon. 1t will be
| several days before the victOrs can be
announced. Company B, N. G. H.
will close it's series of medal shooting
with this week.
The announcement yesterday thai
! the tennis tournament would begin or
| May 10th has awakened new Interest
| in this popular sport. Practice will be

be kept up with zeal An incentive
will be the splendid opportunity this
year to win laurels. There are sever
