PROOF OF HIS THEORY OF CORAL
FORMATION.
Result of Borings Made at Funafuti
by Scientific Expeditions Sent Out
from Sydney.

SYDNEY, January 16.-The third
expedition sent from Sydney to Fun
afuti during 1898 to investigate the
mode and origin of a typical coral
atoll has Just returned and made its
report. The work it did was con-
tinuation of the work of previous eN-
petitions.
The object of the expedition was to
test by boring the mode of origin and
growth of a typical coral atoll. i'm ac-
cordancc with the earnest wish of
Charles Darwin when he wrote. after
the attack by Sir John Murray on
Darwin's famous subsistence theory:
"If | am wrong the sooner | am
knocked on the head the better.
| would that some double millionaire
would take it into his head to have
borings made i'm one of the Indian or
Pacific atoll and bring home cores for
slicing from depths of 500 feet to 600
feet"
Borings were made to depth of
1114 feet 6 inches. The foundation
rock of the atoll has not been reach
ed: but on Darwin's subsistence
theory that may be even several
thousand feet deeper than the present
great depth reached by the bore. The
chief object of the expedition. that of
testing the thickness. structure. and
mode of growth of the coral rock, has
been well attained. An excellent core
has been obtained throughout. Over
200 feet of the core secured has been
sent for detailed examination to the
British Museum, London. under the
supervision of Professor Judd. The
preliminary examination of the part
of this by Messrs. Whitelegge and
Hedley. of the Australian Museum.
and Professor David, reveals the fact
that it is chiefly composed of large
and massive coras. 1t is thought
that these are probably forms which
have fourished originally in shallow
water and have subsequently sunk to
their present great depth through a
slow subsistence. in accordance with
Darwin's theory. On the whole it is
considered that the evidence strongly
confirms the Darwinian theory.
The boring was done under the di-
rection of A. T.. Finlih. late Zoologist
to the archaeological Museum, Sydney
Commander i. c. ID. Sturdee, II. N,
of H. NJ. S. Porpoise, now at Apia,
put Gown two bores last August in
the bed of the Funafuti Lagoon to
depths respectively of 217- feet and
245 feet below high water The de-
tailed examination of the cores from
these borse has already thrown flood
of light upon the much veNed ques-
ton as to the mode of origin of coral
atolls, and when all the information
has been gathered together in the
memoir now in course of preparation
most of the knotty points of the coral
question will probably be solved.

There are some startling figures in
the report of the collector of customs

imports for the year are shown to have
been, including specie, $11, $50, ,S90Sl.
Money Importation was $1,2S2, ,075.72
The value of imports for the year 1897
was $7,6S2, ,62S.00 showing an increase
for the year of $3,96S, 262.72.
In 1898 the imports were in the fol-
lowing values from the countries nam
ed: United States, SO, ,695, ,59l SO, an in
crease of $1,S95, 563.29; Great Britain
81, ,2S7, 1861 an increase for the
year of $421 94542; Germany,
1852, ,043.65, an increase of $159,
111.46: China 1928, ,S51.S7, an increase of
SOS, ,434.47; Japan, 1854, ,324.9S, an increase
of $62 00S.64; Colonies, $1gS, ,3S4.61 an in
crease of $75,93142; Canada, $3.50, ,3S3.4O,

lands, $7292.12, an increase of 81, 1,42S.OS;
France, $i3, 6J5.55 an increase of S12,-
65S.23; in other countries there was Il
decrease during the year of $109 101. II.
The customs receipts on these goods
for the year 1898 were 1896, $3.50, as
against sos, 1895 for 1897 an increase
of $1SS, 1926. Some of the increases
have been: Duties on general goods,
$94,414.4S: bonded goods, $5,1S6.24; spir-
it's, 23,390.66; bonded spirits $42, ,21627 /;

Hawaiian Islands for the year We're as
follows: American, 6O.32; British, PLY;
German, 46O; Hawaiian. 1929; all 9TH

The exports for the year amounted
to the total sum of $17,346,74479, rs
against $16,021, 1853 for 1897, an In

So, 463, 952.14; Mahukona, $427, ,62764.
1t will be surprising in this connec-
tion that Honolulu and Mahukona fell
far behind 1897 in exports, while Hilo
| and Kahului jumped ahead. The fig
ures are: Honolulu, a decrease of
L6S152, 3SS OF; Mahukona, a decrease of

NEW TWO CENT ISSUE BEING
BOUGHT UP.
A Hui Said to Have Been Formed for
This Purpose-Big Block Bought
This Morning.

stamp speculation Is Tlle.
The old two cent issue has now pass
ed out of use and into the category OF
merchandise to be bought and sold
and yield gain. Now there is every ev-
idenCe that an effort is to be made to
buy up the new issue and hold them
for profit. 1t is reported on good au-
thOrity that a hui has been formed TO
buy them up and that one purchase of
a thousand dollars worth was made
this morning
The conditions for such a plan are
very good. The postOflice department
is liable to be taken over by the Unit
ed States at any time, when immedi-
ately of course United States stamps
will come into use, and no more Ha-
waiian stamps will be printed. But
even if that should be delayed. the
length of time it would require to get
a new lot printed. is said to be looked
on by the hui as favoring their scheme.
The only uncertain element in the
matter is as to the amount of the new
issue. For obvious reasons the postof-
flee department does not give out Ill
formation on this subject.
With the foreign Office stamps unat-
tainable, the old two cent issue off the
market, and the new issue being cor
nered, the people who write letters
may have to send them by freight 10
get them to their destination.

SHIPS IN COLLISION.
America Maru Crashes Into the Bark
WillSCOtt


There was plenty of excitement at
the Pacific Mail wharf this morning,
just before the America Maru sailed
away. The big Japanese vessel was
in collision with the bark Willscott.
The America Maru was alongside the
Pacific Mail wharf in the usual posi-
ton for steamers. The Willscott was
in the berth she has occupied for
week at the Waikiki end of the wharf,
her stern projecting some distance
beyond the end of the wharf.
When the America Maru was about
ready to sail, but before all visitors on
her We're ashore, or her lines cast off
the propeller was put in motion pre-
sumably to see if it was clear, "to turn
the engines over" as the nautical
phrase is. 1t is understood that was
done by the engineer without orders
from the deck on the presumption that
the lines would hold the vessel in
place. The lines were slack, however,
and the vessel moved forward Pres
emily her bowsprit crashed into the
after rail on the Willscott tearing
away several feet of it. The America
Maru's lines at this moment seemed to
be taut and to hold her from going
forward, but only for an instant. Then
the line, a five inch hemp cable, run
ming from the forecastle aft, snapped.
The steamship seemed to leap forward
and her bowsprit crashed into the stee-
ring gear of the Willscott, carrying
away one side of it and breaking a five
eighths inch iron bolt, besides bending
iron braces
Captain Peabody of the Willscott
Immediately went aboard the America
Maru and Captain Cope of the latter
vessel returned with him to the Wills
colt to see the extent of the damage.
Just what this is, is not known yet,
and cannot be until it is determined
whether the screw rod of the Willscot.
steering gear is bent or not.
The port stay of the America Maru's
jib boom was broken, which is all the
| damage she sustained as far as is
| known

TAHITI WILL WITHDRAW.
Will Not Back Consul Doty's Steam
ship Scheme,

When Consul ]. Lamb Doty reaches
his home in Tahiti he will find that the
French government has poured a lot
of cold water down the back of his
scheme of a steamship line between
that island domain and the American
coast. There has been some correspon-
dence between Washington and Paris
with respect to the enterprise, and the
result is that the Tahiti government
will withdraw it's subsidy and its
freight concessions to the line.
This will not effect the San Francis
co-Manila line of the concern, via this
city, so it is understood and believed.
Mr.. Doty purposes moving very soon
with his family to San Francisco, and
there to become the vice president of
the company and one of its managers.

BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE.
Camphor Trees, Flower Pots and Other
Subjects.

At the meeting of the Bureau of Ag-
riculture this informing the application
of the hospital flower society for the
grounds for gardens was approved and
the same was recommended to the Min
lister of Interior. The site selected is
in Punchbowl town near the Mormon
church.
The parties in California, from whom
were ordered 10000 camphor trees, re-
ported that the order was too large to
fill. The very best they could do would
be 1000 trees at present, with others la
ter. This was accepted. The secretary
of the bureau reported that camphor
seed was already on the way, which
will, in a measure, relieve the situation.
Secretary Clark reported that the
1000 flower pots recently ordered, had
arrived by the S. G.. Wilder and been
taken to the nursery.
The remainder of the hour was de-
voted to routine business.
