of all this activity on the part Of the au-

BIG FINE THREATENED.
Nippon Maru Nearly Lost a Thousand
Dollars.

The steamship Nippon Maru narrowly
escaped a fine of $1,000 for violation of
customs and quarantine laws yesterday
morning. Two men from Honolulu went
on board in violation of the rules before
the officers had declared the vessel free,
and Collector Stackable got ready to
collect the fine but relented in the end,
and overlooked their first offense under
the new conditions. The collector has
been busy for some time Issuing circu-
lars telling about the United states
rules, and he says that the next viola
tions viii result i'm imposition of fines.
The two men who went on board the
Nippon Maru are declared to have gone
there i'm violation Of orders given them.
They went on board outside the harbor
i'm the early morn, and when they were
discovered were kept on board for some
hours.

RURAL DELIVERY NECESSARY.
Postal Inspector Flint Says 1t is Only
Solution.

Unless a number of postmasters
mostly native Hawaiians, change their
present attitude toward handling the
mails, the people in the outside dis
tricts will find it a long time between
letters. Postal Inspector NJ. II. Flint
says that there are now fully 80 posi-
tions as postmaster untitled and from
indications he does not expect to Sc
cure people to fill them.
THE whole trouble" he said today,
lis due, in my opinion, to the apprehen-
sion of many, especially native Hawai-
ianS that they are not competent to fill
the position. The old system of the Ha-
waiian government was comparatively
simple while ours is likely to prove
very troublesome to those unaccustom-
ed to detailed accounts. The postmas-
ter now has a number of books and ac-
counts to keep straight and they must
be correctly kept too, so this means a
corresponding increase of labor. They
are paid according to cancellations, the
same as in the States. This ought to
net from So to so a month. The con-
ditions here are dissimilar to those in
the States however for there, the peo-
pie who own stores combine the posi-
ton of postmaster. On the other hand
there are so many native settlements
where there are no so such places that
the inducement of attracting customers
can not be held out to them.
LAS the result of this condition there
will be no mail for many of the out
side districts. The postal department
| is ready to do anything reasonable to
aid i'm the distribution of mail. l think
that the only solution is free rural de-
livery. 1 have given notice that this
system will probably be inaugurated
influencing the natives to accept the
positions"
