HOW THE COMMODORE DID
ROUND THE WORLD ON NOTHING
A YEAR"
His Methods in Honolulu, the Only One
of His Calling Places in Which He
Was Worsted.

There is a man in Honolulu who
might be able to give the New York
Herald an answer to it's question, "HoW
has Commodore N. j. Weaver almost
circumnaVigated the world on nothing
year?" The New York paper asks if
the genial commodore is a hypnotist,
and intimates that nothing else could
account for his marvellous ability to
keep his end up without any resources.
In Honolulu the commodore employ
ed no hypnotic powers, though it was
here he encountered one of his worst
difficulties-the attachment of his pala-
tial yacht on a bottomry bond from
Yokohama. In fact, Honolulu can claim
the distinction of having been the only
place that got the best of the commo-
dore until he got stranded in New
Zealand, for all his Establishments failed
here, and he was compelled to go to the
Coast to make a raise
The commodore made his best efforts
to make a borrow here. He also tried
his best to bride the local police, wnen
his yacht had been seized by Marshal
Brown under attachment. The distin-
guished gentleman of pleasure always
had wine and ice, and was ever trying
to get the police officers to join in
friendly evening parties. One evening
he called one of them into his cabin and
made a princely offer OF $4,000 for ar
spread her white wings and sail from
Honolulu. OF course, there was no ten
thousand in sight, but money seldom
needed to be in sight except that Of
the other man, when the commodore
did business
on another occasion the commodore
interested a well known citizen i'm his
troubles, when the two met in the Ha-
waiian Hotel He displayed a London
bank book that showed $4,000 to his
credit and wanted TO borrow a paItry
$4,000, but the Honolulu man wouldn't
bite.
All his local schemes having failed
the commodore one day took sail on the
City of Picking for San Francisco In
a month he came back on the Australia
his pockets lined with money. If the
commodore did not go back on the rep
utation given him by papers in the
States, perhaps San Francisco may be
heard from. The Golden Gate city
seems to have been easier than Homo
lulu.

Charleston, S. c., Aug % 1t is
exported here today that the East
Shore Terminal has been bought by
che Plant System. the Southern and
the Atlantic Coast Line, and that it
will be taken out of the hands OF the
seceiver in the near future.
This enterprise was originated by
the late 81 B Plant nearly three
years ago. He got control of the
property at that time and tried to
induce all of the other roads to come
into the deal The Southern has hung
back until now, but it is said it too
has recently agreed and the purchase
has been consummated.
It is said that the systems were
forced to take steps to obtain the
East Shore Terminal road for fear
that it might pass into the hands OF
the Seaboard Air Line
The property of the East Shore
Terminal company consists of three
miles of double track, 90 pound rail.
There are four sidings and one aud a
quarter miles OF private sidings-
Among the assets are 80 warehouses,
IA wharves, four cotton congresses,
