I News From Honolulu.

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-The steamer
Coptic from Oriental points via Honolulu
brings the following advices from the
latter port under date of September II:
Naval Commander Merry, who has
been stationed here for the past three
months and who has given much thought
to the subject of port facilities. has evolv-
ed a plan by which he hopes to have
the deep water area of the harbor doubl-
ed. He is of the opinion that the work
of enlarging the harbor would pay for
itself in the value of reclaimed marsh
lands of which there are several hundred
acres.
Colonel Ruhlen has received instruc-
tions from Washington ordering him to
condemn for military purposes the crown
lands of kahauik; and of Leilhua con-
tanning respectively 1,340 and LAO acres.

there was trouble between white and
negro soldiers on the voyage from San

A Threatened Strike.

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.--There are
prospects of difficulties ahead for the
transport service A threa tened strike of
the painters is one source of trouble for
the government, and it is more than pos
sible that the bolermakers to be em-
ployed on the repair work of the steamer
Glenogle will refuse to go to work on
the transport tomorrow. The painters
union has intimated that demand would
be made on the government that all
painters employed on transports be paid
IS a day and that eight hours constitute
a days work. In addition to this de-
mand that no man who is not qualified to
mix paint be employed There is likely
to be split on all demands The gov
ernment takes the stand that any man
who can paint should be given an oppor-
tunity of going to work. 1t was said on
the transport dock that If there should
be strike on this head that requisition
might be made to have soldiers do the
painting.
The Glenogle is to be taken in hand to-
morrow and her boilers are to be over
hauled, and SO great is the demand for
her that the work will have to be carried
on night and day. The boilermakers have
deman nded 10 hours pay for eight hours
work. for the given reason that the work
-is dirty and much more complicated than
that in the shops. For night work. which

the work had been done, in order to ia
cilitate the work of congress, and give
something tangible early in the session.

AS he proceeded many questions

to the effect of a continued deprecia-

answered that further depreciation

Senate Measure Well Received.

Washington, Dec. St is now prob
able that the debate on the financial bill
in the house will not commence until
next week The Republican caucus to-
night considered the bill as framed by
the caucus committee. No apparent OPP
position has developed to it on the Re-
publican side and the caucus measure
undoubtedly will be adopted as it was
introduced yesterday.
The leaders are, however, not disposed
to rush it's consideration in the house.
They wish to allow the members the
remainder of the week for the study of
the bill and the report and the prepare
ton of speeches. 1t is probable the
whole of next week will be allowed for
the debate. The consideration of the
bill will be under a special order from
the committee on rules, which will pro-
vide for vote at specified hour on
the closing day of the debate.

yesterday was well received by the Re-
