The subscription list for shares in
"The First Bank of Hawaii" will he
opened to the public on Monday the
9Th inst, and will close on Tuesday,
the 9th inst, at the Office Of Cecil
Brown on Merchant street.
COL Geo. w. Mactarlane has fin
ished all the details OF the new bank
which shortly will be known as the
"First National Bank" in Honolulu.
With his well known sbility as a
sound promoter aud shrewd fnan.
cier he has succeeded in establish
ing banking institution which will
undoubtedly meet with great sue
cess and become benefit to pro.
gressive and enterprising Hawaii.
The capital stock of the bank is at
present 100000, with the privilege
of increasing to $5000,000. For the
present only 100000 will be allotted
to Hawaiian capital divided in shares
Of 500 each. Subscribers for shares
must deposit 81 on the amount of
stock applied for and within thirty
days an assessment Of 50% will be
made, the balance to be called in as
may be required.
Mr.. Macfarlane, who is the local
agent for the syndicate which is
composed of leading capitalists in
the States, hopes to secure the ser.
vices OF Mr.. Joseph o. Carter as
manager for the local branch of the
bank. If Mr.. Carter's health per.
mits him to accept the Office he will
probably do 80, and the new bank
will then be launched under the
auspices Of man whose honor, in
tegrty and ability have never been
questioned in these islands.

If Olaa had been incorporated for
one or even one and half million
of dollars and believe that fair
proposition would been made to the

OF that amount had taken 5 percent
not word of unfavorable criticism

an attempt is made of bamboozling
people who believe in the names Of
the promoters, and who have no
meaus Of judging OF tho merits Of
the scheme, to put their little
savings into an Olaa scheme capi-
talized at S5,O0O,00O, of which the
promoters take at least 25 percent,
it is time that solemn warning is
given. The Olaa affair is too "Hoo-

we are told that "the entire capital
stock has been subscribed and $685.,
800 besides" As the subscribers,
according to Mr.. Thurston's organ,
have paid 10 percent on the stock
subscribed in hard cash, very large
amount of coin must have been paid
into the Golfers of the promoters.
We are willing to believe that the
"organ" is mistaken, when it talks
about the "entire capital stock" and
that it only refers to the $2,5OO,00O
which the promoters desire to get
hold on at once. The amount sub
scribed then during the past two
days would amount to $3,176,320,
and $317,632 in cash paid to Mr..
Dillingham;. Everybody familiar
with the present financial conditions
of the community will know that
such sum is not available even if
all the banks we're called upon for
such an object as buying assessable
stock in plantation which has not
even been started. We are told that
constant stream of people have
been subscribing for the stock and
paying in their 10 percent thereon"

the promoters, because the elevator

who took an interest in Olaa and
watched the streaming" crowd.
AS a matter of fact did not the
promoters take the greater portion
of the stock subscribed, and chang
up" the 10 percent of the amounts
subscribed for? AS matter Of fact
are not the promoters carrying"
stocks for large number of the
righteous members of the Central
Union Church, for school marms
and school teachers who wanted
"blocks" and got them, but only
planked down in cash their little
savings?
The "organ" tells us that "no
cash is paid by the company for the
land, the promoters paying the ori-
ginal owners therefor and taking
their pay from the company in paid
up stock" Are not the poor people
who have put their little savings
into this scheme entitled to know
how much the promoters paid for
the lands and how many paid-up
shares they allotted themselves for
the transfer of the lands to the COM
pany9 We have heard that the sum
paid for lands amounted to $3,OOO,-
600, and we certainly don't presume
that the stockholders get them for
that amount, considering that the
promoters had to borrow the cash
to pay the extravagant prices de-
manded by the owners of the ruined
coffee plantations. Promoters here
are not satisfied with percent
commission as in other countries.
They don't go into "scheming" for
their health, but they want the
lions share. One of the Olaa pro-
moter told one OF his friends yester-
day that-for the sake of friendship

OFFICIAL VISIT
TO COL. DUBOCE

Shortly after the Sherman had found
an anchorage Messrs. Martin, De Young
and Lawrence of the executive com
mittee and Mayor Phelan went out on the
Monticello and paid an official visit to
Colonel Duboce and the officers of his
staff They were received by the colonel
himself al the gang plank and escorted
to the upper deck where tenminute
leVee was held.
The visit was essentially formal and no
business save the question Of disembarka-
ton was discussed. The time was given
up to a friendly exchange of courtesies
The members of the committee, the
of the party We're all personally
most of his officers, and the reception
was a royal one and enjoyed keenly by
all concerned.
Concerning business, Colonel Duboce
said he would dock and begin the work
of getting ashore at 7:30 this morning
but beyond that he could not programme
until he had had time to study his official
orders.
Down on the lower deck the men of the
ranks gathered, and as a member of the
committee, or the Mayor came in sight
above them, they cheered heartily and
announced that they were home and glad
ficials when they descended on the way to
their beat, and much time was consumed
in handshaking with old friends or old
employees who had given up everything
else TO go afightng. Over $50 discharged
men were taken ashore on the Monticello

pier.

the harbor entrance. somewhat obscuring
the view, and a sigh of disappointment
arose, which was suddenly checked as the
lookouts were again heard shouting vo-
ciferously:
Look behind the fort, See her masts"
Then the tapering spars of the army
transport were made out, looming ndis-
ttnctly through the mist as the Sherman
passed into the harbor from behind old
Fort Winfield Scott. The half-uttered
sigh changed on the instant to tremen-
dous shout of gratified anticipation and
joy.
A moment later the transport poked her
white nose past Fort Point, and the hills
neously from more than 10000 throats.
The mist again enveloped the steamer as
she cleared the point and headed over
toward Angel Island but only for a mo-
ment; and when the haze lifted the cheer
ing was renewed with redoubled vigor and
enthusiasm.
From a spectacular standpoint the
crowds on the shore had by far the best
opportunity for viewing the grand
vented from going out on the water to
greet the returning California volunteers
felt amply satisfied with the fate that
decreed that they should remain on
shore.
Never in the history of San Francisco
mas there been such grand outpouring
of people as that which gathered on the
points OF vantage all along the bay front
yesterday afternoon to feast their eyes
on the grand spectacular welcome In
honor of the returning soldier boys and
aod their shouts of greeting to the din of
noise that was waited out to the brave
laos on the transport as she slowly made

Red Cross, a number Of whom were on the
deck of the City of Puebla, waved care
fully codified signals, known in each in
stance only to two hearts, to show the
of actual meeting. For the gentlemen of
the executive committee who steamed
alongside on the gayly decorated Month

ciating what they had already done and
anticipating what they had planned to do
TO honor the Californians that had formed

depot, whistles footing, bands playing,
cannon booming from every dock, until
they neared the anchorage, when the Iowa
belched forth her salute of twenty-one
guns. The tugs blew fanfare on their
assembled whistles, the signal to disperse
was given and the Sherman's anchor
chain ratified through the hawse pipe. She
swung slowly around and came to stop.
The voyage was ended The boys were
home.
The tugs got the signal from the flag
ship to dfsperse, and away they flew again

Out from the front darted innumerable
small craft laden with yellow badged
boys on board, all headed for the Sherman

loved one. Boxes of fruit in many in
stances formed part Of their cargo and
for several hours after the transport was

volunteers were kept busy answering

through and started down between the
lines in the place Of honor Intended for

Weber ran across the bows OF the nag
ship and started after the Walker. Most
of the other boats held aloof, as the orders
for the parade directed, but besides the
two mentioned there were Few others

not put any doctors aboard, nor did her
doctors make any inquiries as to the

Wise who was a passenger, climbed out

whisky to the soldiers. There is no rule
of the transport service more strict than
that which forbids the use of liquor
aboard. There is no rule more strict
among the troops than that which for
bids the issue of liquor, but with no eX-
cuse fer the violation, Wise and his
friends tossed up the bottles, to the
soldiers along the transport rail. Every
one had fruit or flowers or greetings of
some sensible kind for the men. but it
ceive the idea of dealing out whisky by
the bottle. Captain Barneson. superin-
tendent of the transport service, saw
what was going on and he got into the
Athletic and started over 10 the trans
port to stop the alcoholic offerings of the
Perkins passengers. Before he arrived,
however, the Perkins had been given
some fCrcble advice on the subject, with
