A timely discovery prevented a
wholesome Jail delivery and probably
the murder of George Seiders, assistant
warden, and Michael Shoneman, turn
key, at the Schuylkill county prison.
Three prisoners, it is said, were to as
sault them in the corridor, take the keys
and escape. The alleged scheme is at
tributed to j. E. Cholly, alias James
Bell, colored; Frank Miller, alias Evan
Kirlin, and George Clark, alias the Buff
falo Star, serving long terms of imprs-
onment. The finding of two heavy
blackjacks, dangerous-looking knife
and long, sharp saw, revealed the
plot.
Cholly made confession and said it
was his intention to kill the jail officials.

OF INTERIOR WILL
ASSUME CONTROL.
Cabinet Will Then Lease Property
Back to Company-President Dole
Talks of the Matter-Pardons

Minister King will proceed at once to
condemn and take over the wharf prop
erty of the Oahu railway company. At
a meeting of the Cabinet this morning
official cognizance was taken of the
recent decision of the supreme court in
the matter, which sustained the Views
of the government. The Minister of the
Interior was instructed to carry out the
original plans as of the government as
set forth in his original notification to
the railway company two years ago.
When the property has been taken
over it will be leased back to the rail-
way company and, will continue to be
occupied and used by that concern. I'VE
have no desire to deprive the railway
people of the use of the property" said
President Dole this afternoon. "It VIII
be returned to them under a liberal
lease. The point we have been work.
ing for is simply absolute government
ownership of the water front. This is
attained by the supreme court de-
cision."
Applications were received for the
pardon of Herring and Frietas, two
men in Oahu prison. The former was
found guilty of shooting Huntsman, the
school teacher here in 1893 These ap-
plications will be considered on Friday.
If approved, the pardons will be de-
clared on July 4.
A native woman was given title to a
piece of land in Dole street acquired
from the Kekuanoa estate. Her pro-
poSal to sell 1T to the government was
also approved. The land extends out
into the street and is required by the
government as part of the thorough
| fare.

ISLANDS TO Be CONNECTED
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH WILL BE
USED HERE.
Electrician Cross Organizing Company.
Marcon System to be in Operation
Within Year.

The Hawaiian Islands are to be con-
nected by wireless telegraphy. Within
twelve months messages will be pass
ing to and fro between Kauai and Ha-
waii and all points in the group
F. j. Cross, the expert electrician, is
at the head of the project, and he is
most confident of complete success.
Back of him is plenty of money and
moral support. Business men in town
are willingly signing contracts to sup
port the concern with their business for
a period of five years, the condition be-
ing that it give satisfactory service and
at certain charges
Mr. Cross does not like to talk to
newspapers. He is modest in this way
At the same time the following facts
concering his project are gathered: 1t
is proposed to incorporate. The capital
has not been decided upon, but it will
not reach $780, 900. Arrangements for
material are already under way. The
Marconi system, now being used across
the English channel is the one to be
introduced here
The central station and business Of
the company will be in Honolulu. At
Diamond Head will be a station, con-
nected with one on the Island of Molo-
kai. The latter will communicate di-
rectly with the second station, on the
Island of Maui at or near Lahaina.
The next station will be on the nearest
| point of Hawaii.
On each of these four Islands the
company will have direct connection by
| telephone or otherwise with all of the
| towns and with many prominent resi-
dents. A message from Honolulu to
Hawaii would land in few seconds in
Kohala and would be communicated in-
| stantly to any part of the Island.
| The only part of the scheme that may
| be called in any way experimental is
| the part Of the system between Oahu
and Kauai. The distance is about sixty
miles, 1t is only thirty-two miles across
the English channel at the point now
occupied by Marconi. Mr.. Cross has nc
fear of failure. In fact he is satisfied
| that the Kauai circuit Will be as sue
cessful as the others.
So much has been written of late Of
the Marconi system of wireless tele-
graphy that it is we'll understood Sound
waves are projected on straight lines
between stations and fall upon sensi-
tive films or receivers. In short dis
tances, as between Islands of this
group, stations would not only be unob-
structed, but in most cases would be
distinctly visible one to the other.
Mr.. Cross is already hard at work up.
on his project The start has been q
good one and success in organizing is
now assured. 1t would appear that the
stock of the company will readily be.

deal of business is already i'm sight ant

THE STOCK MARKET.
Calls of Past Few Months on Cash
Capital.

The stock market rallied a trifie to-
day though there was no marked adj
vance. Kihei showed little stronger
$3.50 being the ruling price. Olaa
recovered somewhat, 81 being the fig
ure at which most of the transactions
were made.
So far as reported sales and ingulr-
les among brokers show, $11.15 is the
lowest figure at which Kihei has sold.
The depression in assessable stocks
is generally ascribed to the fact that
that there are falling due within n
very short period assessments amount
ing to $527, 800; per cent on Kamalo
$37, 800; 10 per cent on Maunalei $780,

THE SIS. HUENENE ARRIVES
LATEST ADDITION TO THE INTER
ISLAND FLEET.
Was Built Two Years Ago-Has Been
to Central America and Alaska-Her
New Name.

The latest addition to the Inter Island
Steam Navigation Company's fleet the
recently purchased steamer Hueneme,
arrived off Diamond Head at 8 O'Clock
last night and came into the harbor
early this morning.
She came consigned to c. Brewer &
Company, and brings about 400 tons of
freight. mostly for the inter-island
company and Brewer & Company. Her
crew list4eontained the names of six
teen men, Some of them it is said were
really passengers but as she had taken
out no passenger license, they came as
members of the crew
The Hueneme pronounced according
to the Hawaiian method of spelling
Waineme) is in command of Victor
Johnson who has commanded her ever
since she was built and who has taken
her to ports as far south as Central
America, and as far north as st. Mi
chaels, Alaska. He will return at once
to the Coast to take command of an
other vessel now being built.
The Hueneme was built by Bendixson
at Humboldt, cal, in 1897. Her engines
were built by the Fulton Engineering
and Ship building Company of San
Francisco. She is 14S feet long, 80 feet
6 inches beam and II feet inches depth
of hold. Her net tonnage is POI tons.
She has no passenger accommodations
and none will be built, though the cabin
accommodations will be somewhat en-
larged.
The name under which the new vessel
will sail in the Inter-Island fleet has
not been announced yet, though it Is
said it will be the Niihau. She came
here under the Hawaiian flag. She left
San Francisco on the afternoon of Junt
II.

TOOK THE MAJORS Hint
EXTENSION OF IRMGARD WHARF
BEGUN.
Local Government Adopts the Intima-
Carry out Wharf Plans.

The Government has taken Major
Langfitts hint. The Irmgard and EN-
mes wharves are to be extended Work
has actually commenced on the Irmgard
wharf
Major Langfitt who was here in COM
mand of the battalion of volunteer En-
gineers was at the head of a board ap-
pointed by the government at Washing
ton to make a survey of the harbor and
establish harbor lines beyond which
wharves should not extend. The lines
which this board recommended would.
If established, prevent the extension of
the Irmgard and Emmes' wharves as IL
was the purpose of the local govern
ment to make at the time this report
was adopted. The local government
sought to secure modification of the
recommendations of the board of sur
vey, but without avail. However. be-
fore Major Langfitt left, he unofficially
informed the local government that il
would probably be some months before
his report was reached by the War De-
partment and possibly several months
later before 1T would be acted on. In
the meanwhile the report was simply
in the nature of a recommendation and
was not binding on anyone. If the local
government he intimated, went ahead
in the meanwhile and made it's propos-
/ ed extensions, they probably would not
be interfered with as long as they did
not interfere with navigation until some
other means of meeting the needs of
| commerce in the matter of wharf room
had been devised and carried out.
The local government, it seems, has
acted on this hint, and work was actu-
| ally begun this morning. Piles have
been brought around into place and the
pile driver has been brought into posi-
| ton. The actual work of driving piles
! will begin very soon

EVERY PROSPECT PLEAsEs.
w. H. Hoogs' Trip to Molokai, Maui
and Hawaii

w. II. Hoogs returned by the Kinau
from trip that took him over the new
plantations on Molokai, around on Maui
from Nahiku to Hama and along the
Hamakua coast of Hawaii. The wharf
at Kaunakakai is nearly completed. 1t
extends out far enough to permit
steamers to come alongside, and
though the harbor here is only an open
roadstead, being on the lee side of the
Island and with this wharf it will be an
excellent harbor. At Kamalo another
wharf is being built. At this also
steamers can come up alongside.
At Nahiku laborers' quarters are be-
ing built and land is being cleared.
The ride from Nahiku to Hama on
Maui, Mr.. Hoogs says, presents as fine
a prospect as is to be found anywhere
along the Hamakua coast of Hawaii,
There are some excellent coffee lands in
this region and the Government in
tends soon to open up some land for

MACAULAY ASHORE.
Commandant of the City of Columbia
Resumes His Duties.

Captain j. Il. Macaulay, the pilot who
commanded the City of Columbia dur
ing her engagement in the quarantine
service, has resumed his regular pilot
duties. He says that he was in good
company and the period of quarantine
passed as pleasantly as could be eX-
pected.
He moved from the original anchor
age Eva of the mouth of the channel
party because the vessel rolled very
heavily at that point, and he did not
like to be so near a reef on his lee; he
moved partly, also, because he wanted
to try his engines in case he should
be obliged to put the vessel under
steam. and he anchored where he did
because it was a good anchorage.

MORE oF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points Of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger
