SENALL ON PACIFIC TRADE.
THIS OCEAN TO BE THEATRE OF
GREAT COMMERCE.
1t Will be Black with Shipping and Its
Ports Crowded With the Tonnage of
the World.

"The Pacific ocean will be black with
shipping and her ports crowded with
tonnage when the developments which
have lately gone forward with such
rapidty reach the full tide of their pro-
gress," said Arthur Sewall this morn
ing.
stable government is the magic
power that will make this ocean the
theatre of vast commercial activity. Be
ginning with stable government in Ha-
wall commerce will seek this port as
it has never done before. Stable gov
ernment in the Philippines will come
next and spread and increase that COM
merce and commerce stimulated by
stable government Will in turn spread
and increase stable government till on
all the shores washed by the waters OF
the Pacific, capital will with confidence
develop the resources of this great half
of the globe.
1.-THE first steamer of the Kosmas line
from Germany around South America
to San Francisco reached the latter port
while 1 was there. This is an earnest
of what is coming. That line | do not
imagine will interfer with existing
lines. My firm is largely increasing its
fleet and largely because of the develop
ing commerce of the Pacific. The ten
dency of the carrying trade is constant
ly in the direction of more traffic at
lower freight rates. Hence we build
to meet this. We find that ships of not
less than 5000 tons meet the require
ments best and that is the general char
acter of our new vessels.
"I expect to see Hawaiian legislation
at this session, but 1 think it will come
at the end of the session. AS for a Pa
cfic cable there is a general sentiment
that it ought to be built, but the need OF
| is not as keenly and directly felt in the
states as here.
"As to national politics, the existence
of a sort of war in the Philippines. the
uncertainty and general arrangement
of interests caused by the war in Soutf
| Africa, and the unexampled prosperity
in the states prevents any general anC
popular interests in reform political anC
| legislative measures. Hence It Is hard
| ly to be expected that the Democratic
party will enter the next campaign will
many auguries of success. McKinie,
will be the Republican candidate anC
Bryan the Democratic. Secretary Roo
seems to be accepted as the Republican
presidential candidate Who tn,
Democratic candidate will be 7 don
know. Most decidedly I am not a can
didate."
Mr.. Sewall is on his way to the Orlen
where he expects to remain for three o
four months. He will visit here for
month or so with his son Harold NJ

CHINAMEN ACT BADLY.
Murmurings in Guaranteed District
Portend Trouble

There has been all sorts of talk
among Chinese in the quarantined dis
trict this morning. Several agitators
have been at work and have gotten the
population there considerably worked
up. Marshal Browns attention was this
morning called to the agitation of a law
clerk and interpreter who seems to be
melting the Chinese to try to break
quarantine. 1t is understood that he
had been going around in the district
early in the forenoon making speeches
and urging the people not to submit Ia
another quarantine. The matter was
investigated and the man given a quar-
antine which he will remember.
AS result of this mans work a Chi
naman actually attempted to run the
guard at King and Nuuanu. He was
stopped three times in a very gentle
manner Finally he announced his in
tention of escaping and was arrested.
The fellow is now in the military guard
house where he will stay until the quar-
antine is raised and he can be brought
before the police court.
The military is maintaining a strict
quarantine and is doing it properly.

So strictly are the military rules be-
ing observed that DIR. Scaparone, sent
by the Board to investigate a suspicious
case, was this morning stopped at the
corner of King and Nuuanu. He had a
pass for himself and a newspaper man
in the carriage with him had a pass
but the driver of the carriage had none.
The military guard told Scaparone and
his friend that they could alight and
pass but that the hack would not be ad-
mitted. The specialist turned about in
high dudgeon and returned to the Board
of Health office. At the same time the
guards were being commended by supe-
rior officers for strict obedience to in
structions.
Three well known white men roamed
about the corner of King and Nuuanu
street today. within the quarantined
district unable but anxious to get out
They did not live in the district but
managed to be caught there by the

CHINATOWN IS |SOLATED.REPAR TWO LOST BUOYS
IMPORTANT MARKS TORN LOOSE
BY THE ALGOA.
The Center Buoy Cannot be Found, But
the Spar Buoy Has Been Set in Posi-
ton Again.

Wharf superintendent Jarrett has
been busy ever since the Algoa was
hauled off the reef at the entrance to
the channel trying to find the two buoys
she tore loose. The spar buoy and the
center buoy were both found to be gone
when the Algoa got away. A barge was
taken out with native divers and after
much diving and difficulty in fixing
ropes the spar buoy was recovered. 1t
is now in its old place.
Inc center buoy cannot be found. It
was either broken and has sunk to the
bottom or was cut loose and has drift
ed away. 1t was just at the center OF
the entrance of the channel and was OF
great use to the pilots. A small buoy
Will be put in position at once to re-
place it and an order will be given for
another large one. The Algoa will have
to pay the bills.
The center buoy was a very large one
and stood high out of the water When
the Algoa went ashore her stern drifted
over it. The propeller may have smash
ed 1t, in which case it lies at the bot
tom of the sea, though divers cannot
find it. If it drifted away it may be
heard of again. The new one will be
made here.

MINISTER YoUNG's ORDERS.
Improvements Begun Near the Likelike
Wharf

Alexander Young, Minister of the IN
terror, paid a visit to the water front
this morning and gave orders for the
immediate removal of a pile of lumber
and long fence that are obstructinS
work between the Pacific Mail and
Likelike wharVes. The minister was
driven to the wharf by McChesney, who
has been trying for several days to get
cargo away from the Pacific Mail wharf
and has found the room all taken up by
lumber that was torn from LikeliKe
wharf to make improvements, and by
another pile that has been in the way
for months. The cargoes of the Algoa,
Gaelic and Manyo Maru are piled all
over the wharves and close to the fish
market. Disinfection and the confu-
sion attendant upon the mixing of diff
ferent cargoes has so confused mat
ters that the custom house officers and
freight clerks are having great diff
Guilty in sorting out goods. Lack OF
room caused the trouble.
The fence that runs Waikiki from
Likelike to the Pacific Mail wharf
must also go. Mr.. Young ordered Su-
perintendent of Public Works Rowell to
move 1t as soon as possible and to make
arrangements to continue the shed of
the Pacific Mail wharf as far as the
Likelike wharf The latter Wharf Is
also being widened and a new shed is
to be put over it, so that there will be
very important additions to the amount
of room at that part of the water front.

AMERICA MARU.
Brings Many Honolulu Passengers to
Their Homes.


There was a jolly crowd and a royal
time on the America Maru from San
Francisco to this port Among the
number of Island people aboard were:
Joseph Marsden, 7. NJ. Starkey, DR..
Anderson, DR. Miner and family. A. s.
Cleghorn, NJ. M. Kohn. John Emmelutn,
G. NJ. Whitney and family, H. Focke,
A. F. Judd, Jr. and wife and John VIII
son. Besides these there was parti-
cularly nice and congenial party OF
through passengers.
There was great alarm aboard the
vessel when the port physician an
nounced plague. DR.. Wood reported
nine suspect cases and five deaths. This
was explained by the ships surgeon to
the passengers. Two ladies, for Homo
lulu, declared they would not land here
but would pass on to Hongkong. Later
however, after some persuasion by the
Honolulu contingent, they changed
their minds and came ashore.
The through passengers crowded
around the head of the gangway TO bid
farewell to the Honolulu people When
the tug started, in answer to the
farewell of the captain, The Homo
lulu contingent began singing "Efe's
jolly, good fellow" The words
We're changed to "They are jolly. good
fellows" and all the passengers on the
tug Joined in. When the singing was
over the America Maru's whistle sound
ed a parting blast. The tug replied
with three blasts and the Marus shrifl
siren sounded three times.
The passengers were landed at the
InterI Island wharf.

EVERYONE PLEASED.

The large audience present at the Or
pheum last night went away highly
nleased with the performance of said
Pasha" by the Boston Lyric Opera
Company. Every detail of this popular
comic opera was faithfully carried out
and was equal in every way to the same
rendition at the Opera House. The
amusement loving community will miss
it if they do not take advantage of see
ing a 80 opera for so and rs cents. This
evening the opera I'll Trovatore" will
be presented and it will be doubtful
about getting seats at the door. The
prudent one will ring up telephone $40
and have seats reserved.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRECK

The question of responsibility for the
disaster will probably be inquired into
by a board to be appointed of under
writer's here to investigate such mat
ter. According to the law of the sea
steamer should avoid a sailing vessel,
it being the duty of the steamer, as
she is more easily steered, to keep out
of the way. The sailing vessel, how
ever, would have erred if she changed
her course while passing steamer, so
that the latter's efforts to avoid her
We're made useless.
The value of the William Carson and
her cargo was about $60,00O The ves-
sci, new as she was and well built is
valued at about $4,000 The cargo of
coal was worth at least $4,000.

Wyvell and others, of this city, have
made a location on the Hildreth farm
east of the city, and near the Two by

The report from the Benwood field
indicates serious falling on OF pro-

considerable new work under way.
There are five strings OF tools run

The Rinard's Mills territory seems

and several new rigs going up. TWO
wells were brought in during bhe past
week, one a fair producer and the ouh-

Twelve Feet Through a Chicago
Pavement,

Chicago May 24-The asphalt pave
ment on Evans avenue at the corner OF
Sixty-fourth street open to day and in
to the yawning chasm dropped team
of haevy horses, the big load of lath
they were drawing and the driver seat
ed on the laod. The teamster's name
is Fred Grover, and as he was driving
along the street at the point mentioned
he felt a sudden trembling as of an
earthquake and then experienced the
sensation of falling. Gradually at first
he saw himself and his horses sinking
to the level of the pavement.
The teamster shook himself to sea if
he had not been dreaming, when in the
clutches of what he Thought might be
a terrible nightmare the pavement
parted and driver and all were partIcl-
pated into a crevlce IL feet deep. A
dozen pedestrians witnessed Growers
hair raising descent into the interior
of bhe earth and were seized with a
terrIDle fear Something which re-
sembled smoke came out from the hole
into which the loaded vehicle had van
ished, but it'was only dust, and there
came no fame or molten rock.
Finally these eyewitnesses gained
courage and rushed to the edge of the
dreaded crevlce, and there just below
the surface was Grover, still sitting on
his blanket, but with face as white as
The house on the corner. The horses
were stadning as quietly as though
hiItched to the sidewalk, and only a
few OF the laths had fallen from the
wagon.
What has happened?" Grover ask
ed when he saw a crowd gathering
above him.
Are you hurt?" some one shouted.
Hurt? No." replied the teamster,
but. l thought the judgment day had
surely come for me-"

CheaU Cash COLLAPSED,

A striking proof Of the collapse of
the cheap money agitation is to be
found in the condition of the Chicago
banks which are glutted with gold
coin. The United States SUB treasury
is in the same condition and has de-
clined to pay out any more small bills
in exchange for the yellow metal. Not
even gold certificates are to be had by
the bankers and so they are storing in
their vaults the gold they cannot get
rid OF. The food OF yellow metal that
is pouring in upon them can be ac-
counted for only on the theory that
the peoples confidence has been re-
stored. Said John ]. Mitchell, presi-
dent of the Illinois Savings and Trust
company, to Tribune representative
No one knows where ali the gold
is coming from. More is being pro-
duced, Of course, which accounts for
part of the increase in Chicago But
the greatest influence is the confidence
OF the people in the honesty of the gov
ernment. AS soon as the fear that
some of our money was to be repudiat-
ed was taken away the people felt as
much confidence in paper money as
they did in gold coin. Now they would
rather have paper because it is easier

Eawrenceburg, Ind, May 24.-The
frequency with which lightning struck
the summit of towering hill on the
farm of John P. Walker, south Of
town, has attracted attention for years
but no explanation could ever be given
for 1t. Somttimes as often as three
and four times-in succession during
the briel period of an electrical storm
would lightning strike there Several
days since John Mason, The expert, who
is prospecting among the Lills and hol-
lows of the lands leased by the Sales
Gold Mining Company, was overtaken
in the vicinity of "ThunderboH Hilf'
as the electrical mountain has been
nieknamed by the natives, and sought
shelter beneath The spreading branches
of stubby oak on an adjacent ridge
While there he was treated to a dis
play of celestial fireworks that fol-
magnificence and grandeur surpassed
his powers of description. He made
the discovery that the hill, which fol-
years has been known to be the play
ground for the storms fury of the
elements, was filled with iron ore and
other minerals so close to the surface
as to attract the ldghtning's presence
by its magnetic influence.
