FINE SHIP ON THE REEF
THE EDWARD O'BRIEN DRAGS
HER ANCHOR.
Her Stern Resting on the Coral Ledge
Three Tugs Working With Her
Hope is Entertained.

The American ship Edward O'Brien
is on the reef just Eva of the entrance
to the channel and within fifty yards
of the rock on which the Miowera was
wrecked.
The distressed vessel is in full view
from the water front. The Eleu, the
Iroquois and the Maui all have lines
to her and are endeavoring to prevent
her going further on the reef, in the
hope that at high tide she may be got
ten off.
The Edward O'Brien arrived off port
at 2:30 o'clock this morning. Captain
A. d. Lothrop, her master, says he
anchored at the entrance of the fair
way, near the fairway buoy, in thirteen
fathoms of water, throwing out his
port anchor. Shortly before o'clock
a squall struck him and his anchor be-
gan to drag. He at once commenced
paying out more anchor chain for the
purpose of giving the anchor better
purchase. But the chain fouled and
before the other anchor could be
thrown out the vessel had struck the
reef, her stern resting on the level ta-
BILE of the coral ledge. Blue lights were
at once set burning as signals of dis
tress. These were seen and Pilot Ma
cauley and the government tug went
out to her By this time she was MAX
ing considerable water. AS soon as
possible the United States Iroquois
and the Wilder steamship Maui went
out to her. The O'Brien is now point
ed in the direction of Waikiki. The
Eleu has a line attached to her star
board quarter The Iroquois has line
fastened on the port quarter and pas
sing around her stern. The Maui has
a line attached to her stern. The for
ward part of the vessel floats free. The
effort of the tugs is to hold her from
going further on the rock until high
tide.
The Edward OBrien was built eigh-
teen years ago. She has 3,540 tons of
coal, from Departure Bay, for the In
ter-Island company. The vessel her
self is consigned to Alexander & Bald
win, and was to load sugar to go round
the Horn. She draws 81 feet of water
with her present load. At noon her
stern was in q feet of water, and there
was about seven feet six inches of wa
ter in her hold. The ships pumps can
not keep the water down, but it is in
tended with the rising tide to bring the
Iroquois alongside and put her pumps
at work. 1t is not determined yet
whether it will be necessary to jettisor
her cargo. In fact the fate of the yes.
sci is still problematical, though hope
is entertained that she may be brought
off, safely.

HE Is ON HIS WAY TO THE
PHILIPPINES.
One of the Commissioners Appointed
to Outline a Policy for the Rebel
lious Philippines.

Hon. Charles DENLY. eN-Minister to
China. is a through passenger by the
America-Maru for Manila He is ac-
companied by his wife and son. Min
lister DENLY is member of the Philip
pine Commission and is on his way to
his post of duty.
The visitor is well known here. This
is his third visit to Honolulu. He has
long been an advocate of the anneNa-
tion of the Hawaiian Islands and of
American expansion in the Orient.
His views with respect to the United
States taking definite and determin-
ed stand i'm Chinese matters has
changed.
Mr.. DENLY was here last about eight
months ago. At that time he was 60
ing to his home at Evansville Ind
expecting, as he said here at the time,
to retire from public life and once
more enter the private practice of law.
His counsel has repeatedly been
sought by the administration during
the war. however. IT will be remem-
bered that he was member of the
war investigating committee and this
second appointment to Manila comes
on the heels of the first.
Mr.. DENLY is democrat of the John
r. Morgan type. He was born and
educated in Virginia. In 1885 he was
appointed by President Cleveland
minister to China. When Harrison
was elected the administration was
submerged with letters from China
petitioning the continuance of Mr.
Denby in office. The request so gen
eral was complied with. When Cleve-
land was again elected the appointee
was continued. Under President Nc
Kinley's administration Mr.. DENLY
asked to be relieved and his request
was complied with.
The commissioners ideas with re-
spect to the Philippines are that the
islands should be held at all hazards,
the methods of rule to be determined
gradually as the situation develops.
He carries with him to Manila no olive
branches for Aguinaldo, saying open
! ly that the forces now arrayed against
the Americans in the Philippines are
purely and simply rebels and must be
| treated as such.

THE AVERAGE LEE.

1t is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of a good bicycle, but
it is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, covers about 1000
miles in a year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 10000
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
SO, 900 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
ly 25,0O0,00 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear. The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. e. j. special drawn
steel, corbonized and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
-,own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other. Felt washers and ball retain
ers are used throughout. The Pacific
Cycle & Manufacturing Co. have so
of the new improved '99 model Sterling
bicycles in transit. They expect part
of this shipment to arrive on the Moa-
ma.

COLUMBIA AGAIN.
New Sale ordered. but VIII be-CCn-
tested by Harry Evans.

Harry Evans, by his attorneys, Davis
and Dickey, is making vigorous fight
against the ruling of Judge Perry, re-
fusing to approve the sale of the city
of Columbia and ordering that she be
put up at auction again at noon on
Wednesday. Exceptions were taken
Saturday and will be argued by the
attorneys.
In the argument Saturday, the plea
that the sale be not confirmed was
presented by Attorneys Ballou and Nc
Clanahan. representing the crew of the
vessel. Davis and Dickey contended
that the sale was regular and should
be approved.
Judge Perry's decision was delivered
orally from the bench. He said 1t was
clear that the tender made by Evans
was much below the value of the YES
sci and below what she would easily
bring; that there was clearly a misap-
prehension with regard to the time of
sale. Under the circumstances the
court felt obliged to declare the sale
unconfirmed
In the afternoon the order published
elsewhere in this paper, directing the
marshal to reopen the bids at l:
O'Clock noon Wednesday, was signed
by Judge Perry.

HAWAIIAN CABLE CERTAIN refrigerator SHIP HERE THE HON. CHARLES NNBY
WILL GO THROUGH WITH THE
SUNDRY' CIVIL BILL.
Must be Built to Honolulu Within a
Year After Contracts are Let-Rates
of Messages.

WASHINGTON, February 20.-Sena-
tor Frye's amendment to the sundry
civil bill, which provides for the build
ing of the Pacific cable by an American
corporation, with a subsidy from the
government will be amended in the
appropriation committee to insure the
manufacture of the cable which will be
laid in this country. The committee
today met and reported the amend
ment favorably with an addition to the
time limit, which makes it necessary
for the company securing the right to
lay a cable to have a line to Honolulu
completed within one year after the
contract is let. '..
In this form it is likely the sundry
civil bill will carry the cable amend
ment.
The measure increases the subsidy
to be paid every year for twenty years
to $4,000 and extends the time which
the contracting company is to be Civ
en- to complete the line to the Philip
pines to the 1st of January, 1902
Other amendments increase the for
felt of the contracting company from
100000 to $4,000 provide that the
subsidy money shall only be used in
maintenance and repairs and not in the
paying of dividends; fixing the rates on
government messages at one-third the
rates on private messages, retaining
the provision that they shall be carried
free during The twenty years, fix a
rate of 25 cents per word on private
business to Hawaii and 81 per word on
such messages to the Philippines, press
rates being one-fourth of the amounts
give the postmaster general the right
to revise these rates every ten years
and authorize the president to request
the cooperation of Japan in securing
the establishment of the proposed line.
