Want THE FLAG.
Effort of Ships Owners to
Secure Registry Here.
Proceedings in Court-Two Minis.
ters-Reply Made BY the Gus
toms Collector General.

An application for writ OF mandam
us against Collector General of Gus
toms McStocker was issued Decembe,
Both, 1898, to bring the bark Wiuscot,
under Hawaiian registry.
On January 3rd H. E. Cooper. who
appeared for respondent, moved thai
the writ be made more specific. so that
a proper answer could be filed. The
Court granted the motion and ordered
the writ to be amended. In his answer
to the writ Collector General McStock-
er alleges that he has been directed
by his superior officer, the Minister OF
Finance, to refuse to proceed to the
registration of the vessel, and that the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs has in
formed him that he will decline to in
Quire of the Representative of Great
Britain whether any legal impeachment
exists to the registry of the vessel and
without such information the bark can
not be registered. In further answer.
the respondent claims that since Aug
ust II. 1898, he has possessed no power
or authority to register vessel as
vessel in that the laws of
the Republic of Hawaii heretofore ex-
listing respecting the registration of
vessels became inconsistent with the
Joint Resolution of the United States
OF America annexing the Hawaiian
Islands.
Similar petition, motion and answer
are on file in the matter of Lincoln D.
Spencer, who desires registry for the
ship Euterpe, now lying in Honolulu
harbor

around the globe when he writes: 81

edy in my family for several years and

AMERICAN WORKMEN.

Consul General Convey, at 1ohOha-
ma. reports to the State Department
that notwithstanding the low wages
paid in Japan to watchmakers, the
business is not a paying one IN Japan,
according to the report Of q member
of the Osaka Watch Company. Lack
Of skill among the mechanics is one Of
the reasons assigned for this state of
affairs. Though the Japanese wages
are from 20 to % cents a day as against
So for the American workmen, it is
said that ten of the latter can easily
do work which would require from
seventy to eighty japanese.

NO HABEAS CORPUS.
Justice Whiting Refuses to Grant
Second Writ

Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, w. Austin Whiting has declined
to allow the second petition of Geo. A.
Davis for "a writ of habeaS corpus. The
court reasons that on December Goth,
1898, the Supreme Court decided that
Davis was lawfully imprisoned under a
mittimus wherein he was ordered to
pay a fine of fifty dollars or be i'm
prisoned until the same be paid, on
conviction of contempt of court, and
also on a mittimus for a conviction OF
an offense of contempt Of court
whereby he was to be imprisoned for
ten days, such Imprisonment to take
effect after the satisfaction of the first
mittimus; that at such date the first
mittimus had not been satisfied and the
second mittimus had not gone into
effect. and also that it does not de-
finitely appear upon the face OF the
petition that the first mittimus has
been satisfied. and that the petition IS
contradictory to the records OF the
Supreme Court and matters therein
contained.

wishes TO correct wrong impression
which may have been given by thi:
paper.
The amounts which were subscribed
10 the Y. NJ. c. a Monday were 20 pa,
off the remaining portion OF the deb
incurred in enlargtng the building ant
fitting up the gymnasium The mem
bers are encouraged by thus having tn.
property free from encumbrance.
| The ordinary receipts from dues ant
regular subscribers are nearly enough
to pay running expenses but during
the time transports were going through
the expenses were greatly increased
through providing stationery and 9th.
er things TO the soldiers. There have
been many expressions to show that
the attention was appreciated, but the
fact remains that the Association is as
a result $1,000 il arrears on running
account.
This statement Is made SO that any
who may have been considering the
matter of making further donations to
the Association may not be deferred
from so doing.
This amount OF S. 900 over and above
the regular expenses must be met be-
fore the end of the Association year
March, and any sums toward it Will be
gladly received by the treasurer, Mr.

Hard Times no More is the Message
Now Sent.
Property in Melbourne is now con-
sidered to be recovering from bedrock.
In various ways says the Argus, 1T
is becoming apparent that if a great
recovery is not near at hand, yet that
the inclination to buy real property is
becoming much more pronounced than
it has been for years past. Owners of
cattle have for a long time stood off,
waiting for a safe bottom Of value to be
touched Not only does such basis ap-
pear at last to be found, but the heavy
fall in the rate Of interest upon in
vestments that has taken place during
the last few years and the dearth Of
securities of other kinds have relative
" bettered the capital value of prop
erty. Hence it is the belief OF the most
reliable authorities that not only has
retrogression ceased, but that with a
recognition of the fact buyers are
steadily coming forward. The larger
exchange of country estate, the more
willing disposition manifested by in
vestors TO buy city properties, the i'm
proved valuations Of such investments,
the perceptible advance in rent, and
the desire to obtain possession OF the
residuum OF the assets Of building So
cieties and kindred institutions, all be-
token an improved situation. The
sound basis OF investment-viz. a fair
interest return on permanent lines-is
fully recognized"

WHAT CUBA'S LOSS MEANS TO
SPAIN

The loss of Cuba means to Spain the
loss of the very sustenance OF the ma
ton. Already her tax-ridden people
are crying for bread. In the same way
the loss OF your once vigorous appe-
tite means poverty and starvation to
your body. If any reader Of this pa
per wishes to be as hungry again as
when child, and wants to fully enjoy
hearty meals, drink Seattle beer. It
cures indigestion and dyspepsia. On
tap or in bottles at the Criterion.

Juan Fernandez Will Soon BE Inhabit-

The island of Juan Fernandez. upon
which Alexander Selkirk was exiled for
a time and whose adventures formed
the basis for Robinson Crusoe," is
| about to be turned into q colony.
Robinson Crusoe, or rather a proto-
type of Robinson Crusoe, existed under
the name of Alexander Selkirk. That
Defoe knew Selkirk's story there a be
no doubt. for he closely kept to the facts
Of SeIkirk's existence on the island of
| Juan Fernandez. Even the story of
Crusoe's man Friday has ii foundation
of truth. for Selkirk rescued a stray
Indian from death. This mar had be-
come separated from a party who had
landed on the island and. being lost in
the weeds, was left behind and would
have died had not Selkirk discovered
him.
Fridays death did not occur In such
a dramatic manner as Defoe described
IL. however, for Selkirk's retainer was
drowned while fishing.
Barren as the place seemed to Selkirk,
it contains many fourishing spots. The
fruit trees which he planted have re-
