The climax was reached yesterday
Mr. PollitZ again put his hand into the
local grab-bag of stocks and drew 6
! prize t.'',>i transaction was large
one. 1t involved 3713 shares of Wal
luku sugar stock, at $3.50 a share The
total amounts 20 the small sum of
81, ,670,S50.
| The deal OF which rumors have been
| floating around for some time has been
consummated. 1t was known that Mr..
Pollitz intended to give further testi-
mony of his firm belief in the Islands
before he returned to San Francisco
What it was to be 10 one knew. There
were many rumOrs and Mr.. Pollitz
never contradicted any of them. Now
it is known, and Wailuku, the choice
sugar plantation, is the stock
Yesterday the directors Of Brewer &
Co met at $50 in the morning. There
the offer made by Mr.. Pollitz to take
3713 shares, 212 more than control
ling interest, of Wailuku, at $3.50 was
discussed. 1t was accepted, and an
other big deal passed, into local history.
The final acceptance was made at about
1920 a. IN. The buyer is allowed ninety
days in which to make the payment.
This, as Mr.. Pollitz says, is done mere
ly that he may have time after reach
ing San Francisco, to forward the
amount to Honolulu.
Tho o6n dipact with Rrpuv-
er & Co. Mr. c. NJ. Cooke, president.
acted for the firm.
The trip of J. P. Cooke to Maui in
a special steamer was in connection
with the deal.
Mr. Pollitz, when interviewed said
that he bought the stock for an in
vestment He admitted that the con-
solidation of Wailuku with Hawaiian
Commercial in the near future is ex-
tremely probable. In fact there is lit
tie doubt but that this is his intention
He holds the key to the situation of
the two plantations. This is tne water
rights. The control of the whole water
supply Of the Waihee district was in
Guided in the purchase. This of
course, includes the system upon which
Hawaiian Commercial is dependent.
The latter's lease of their water rights
expires in 1905, only six years distant.
Mr.. Pollitz accordingly saw that it
would be a good idea to gain control of
the system. Therefore he included the
complete control of the water rights in
his purchase. /!
The first offer was made some time
ago to Brewer & Co. by Mr.. Pollitz. at
S400 q share. This was refused. For
the first time in any Of his Honolulu
deals he raised his Offer The sticking
pOin this time was the length of time
that Brewer & Co. should act as agents.
This was finally compromised. the
agreement stipulating for an eight
year agency.
Wailuku has always been considered
one of the choicest plantations of the
islands. 1t is expected that a dividend
Of about 40 per cent will soon be de- i
clared. The greater portion of the
stock outside Of what was held by
Brewer & Co.. is held by Welch & Co..
If San Francisco.
The sale will net profit of about
Il ,000, 600 for Brewer & Co. Their [
stock has already raised. On Change

but the project is backed by

the Chronicle was the first pa
per to seize on was correct in It's

FROM Otner sources it is
learned beyond question that
the Rothschilds are largely in

mate the syndicates mentioned
by Mr.. st. Goar in his inter
view, and that the choice of the
great financiers should have fall
len upon his partner and him
self is not strange when it is
known that Edward Pollitz &
Co. act for the Rothschilds on
this coast in the purchase and
sale of personal securities.
AS an additional proof of the
correctness of the Chronicles
assertion that a great financial.
institution is projected on this
coast, it may be added that not :
only was the offer to become it's
managers received by Pollitz &

FIRE LASH NIGHT.
The House of Mrs. Angus on En-
ma Street Partially Destroyed.


ma Street Partially Destroyed.
s The residence of Mrs. John Angus on
Emma street, was partly destroyed by
ire last night. The alarm was turned
an about $50 and the firemen quickly
responded. The fire was hard to get at,
as it was between the ceiling and the
roof The firemen, however, deluged
the place with water, extinguishing
the fire.
The family had left a lamp burning
while they went down to the steamer.
The cause of the fire was probably the
explosion of this lamp. Part Of the
house was totally destroyed by the fire
and water. The fire is a great mis-
fortune as the building had just recent
4y been renovated. There was no in
surance.
