Capt Magill OF the third police district

the genial captain has been careful 10

ers to free ice have been given TO the
purely deserving and none osher. He has
"A few left, but does not expect to have
them very long.
1t Is noticeable that there are more
men and women among the applicants for
free ice than at the start. At first only
children were seen. the older ones being
evidently afraid, or. perhaps, not quite
convinced that the News offer was bona
flde.
The women seen at the distributing sta
tions show, for the most part. signs OF
worry and hard work. Most of them are
widows, according to the police. and i'm
almost every instance they have large
families.
Every contributor to the News free ice
fund must feel gratified at the success OF
the scheme. Surely IL one were To go TO

ENORMOUS COAL SUPPLY HAWAII TO HELP CUBANS
EIGHTY THOUSAND TONS ARE
COMING.
over Ten Thousand Tons in the Harbor
and Vessels are Compelled to Wait
Long for Berths.

The coal famine of two months ago
is now more than relieved but there is
still enough coal on the way to Homo
lulu to multiply several times the stores
on hand. Coal vessels have been ar
irving one after the other till the
consignees are now beginning to say
they have enough, but charter records
show list of expected coal carriers
that is by far the biggest on record.
Several coal ships are lying idle in
the harbor, unable to get wharves and
the consignees, who have enough here,
may send them to Hilo to discharge.
The Charles E. Moody is one. She has
been in the harbor for about a week,
but there are at least ten thousand
tons of coal ahead of her in other yes
sells, so that 1t will be probably three
weeks before she has a chance to begin
discharging her big cargo of coal from
the Sound. Captain Anderson is con-
sidering the advisability of going to
Hilo, and may go there after he hears
the result of DR.. Woods trip. Quaran-
! tine rules that are to be in effect at
HilO are not yet known.
| The ten thousand tons of coal in the
harbor are nothing to the amount that
| Is on the way here. The Newcastle
! fleet chartered for Honolulu numbers
fifty-one vessels, twenty-five of them
being ships twenty-five barks and
| nine schooners. These will average
between 1900 and 2O0O tons of coal each.
50 that about eighty thousand tons of
roal are to be on the way to the
| Hawaiian islands. What it is all for
is question, unless users are getting
up big stocks to make sure that there
will not be another famine. Only four
or five of the vessels are government
carriers, bringing coal to the war de-
Ipartment and these are more than maGe
up for by vessels coming from other
places than Newcastle. From Norfolk,
Virginia there is a government ship
coming with large cargo of coal and
from Sound ports three coal vessels are
en- route. This brings the total number
of coal carriers coming up to fifty-five
nearly all consigned to private firms
here.

MErHuEN,s FORCES MOVE.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The STANDARD"
has received the following dispatch,
dated Monday February 5th from KOp-
pies Dam:
General Macdonald, with a brigade
of infantry, a regiment of Lancers
and one battery, has reached here from
Modder river camp, in what is regard
ed as an important movement to the
right of the Boer position at Magers-
fontein. Koppies Dam commands the
roads from Kimberly to Hopetown
and Douglass. Two Boer laagers at
Kamulhoek and Griquatown are within
striking distance. The arrival of Gen.
eral MacDOnald's column was oppor-
tune, as it just prevented a junction.
He now holds both banks of the river.
Our lancers had two brushes with the
Boer patrols. There is great activity
among the enemy, and strong forces are
concentrated to oppose our further ad
vance. The troops suffered from heat
and scarcity of water during the
march" 4"

NO sHIPBUILpING TRUST.

SAN FRANCISCO, February AR
hur Sewall states that there is no truth
in the report that the large shipbuild-
ing firms of the United States have
combined. He has never been advised
of any such scheme, and the Bath ship
building plant, at least, is not a part of
any trust or combination. Mr. SewalPs s
yard at Bath, in which his younger son
and nephew are partners, employs
300 men regularly. The firm retains a
controlling interest in every vessel con-
structed at the yards. One of the finest
ships ever built by the Sewalls is the
Shenandoah, now in this harbor, and
her. skipper, Captain Murphy, is one of
the youngest captains in the deep-sea
service, being scarcely 21 years of age.
II believe in giving competent young
men chance" remarked Mr.. Sewall
yesterday referring to Captain Murphy
Too many men are held back until
their best days are past. The young
men are the strength of nation, so let
them show their mettle."

IMMIGRATION BUREAU HELPS.

The Japanese immigration Bureau,
which is an organization of the several
immigration companies here, is assist
ing the Japanese consul in the matter
of explaining the plague situation to
Japanese all over the islands, Consul
Saito's advice to the Japanese that
they pay heed to rules that may be
adopted by the Board of Health or its
agents, is repeated to the laborers by
the immigration Bureau, which will
thus give material aid to the authori-
ties in preventing misunderstanding
among the Japs and in convincing
them that their own interests are best
served by complying with the law
whatever may happen.

cement of the canal.
Article 1.-THE high contracting par
ties, desiring to preserve and maint"i0
the general principle" of naturalization

ton-Bulwer convention, adopt as the
basis of such naturalization the follow
ing rules, substantially as embodied in
the convention between Great Britain
and certain powers, signed at Constan-
tinople October 49, 1888, for the free
navigation of the Suez maritime canal;
that Is to say:
1. The canal shall be free and open

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Consider
able opposition has developed in tht

WILL PAY POST OFFICE EXCESS
SALARIES.
That Department in Same Boat With
the Customs CHARACTERIZATION for
Quarantine Wharf.

At the Cabinet meeting this morning
Minister Damon supplied the informa-
tion that the post office department
was in the same boat with the customs
department in the matter of funds. In
Honolulu and throughout the Islands
it had been necessary to considerably
augment the force in the past two
years, and this had correspondingly in
creased the expense. At the first of
January this increase could no longer
be recognized. The Minister agreed to
advance the money to carry on the
work until March 1 with the under
standing that the Legislature be asked
to reimburse him. The excess will be
nearly $4,000. Proposition accepted and
approved.
1t was voted to refer the correspo1-
dence in regard to the British claims
to the President, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Attorney-General for an
opinion as to what it means.
A telegram from w. o. Smith stated
that the House committee would unani-
mously recommend the Hawaiian bill
in its new form.
The following resolution in regard to
quarantine wharf was adopted:
Resolved, That application having
been made on behalf of the Chamber
of Commerce, representing the mer-
chants of Honolulu, by Messrs. Giffard
Ena and Suhr, that proper system
might be adopted at the channel quar-
antine wharf Tor the control of foreign

THE ORPHEUM.

A good Tuesday night house turned
out in appreciation of the Orpheum's
re-opening. The minstrel first part
with some good local stories and solos
of more than ordinary merit was an
effective success.
The sketch of Brown" by Allan
Dunn was well received. The theme is
a novel one very daintily handled by
Mr.. Rockwell and Miss Leicester as
siteu by the author.
Signor Pirri gave a very clever ex-
hibition of his juggling and balancing
powers. Signor Pirri handles a plough
with the apparent ease of a man rails
ing an umbrella and walks round with
the same implement balanced on his
chin as if he liked ii.
The Richards present an amusing
comedy act while Miss Beresford makes
hit with her songs and general breezi-
ness. The rest of the program contains
many clever features and the public
seemed pleased to have their COR
pheum open once again.

WATER FOR OLAA.

HILO, February 10.-Peter McRae is
very jubliant over the success that has
attended the explorations for water in
the district above Kaumana. An en-
gineer employed by the Olaa Sugar Co
discovered an underground stream
which discharges half as much water as
ordinarily runs down the Wailuku. and
will suffice for all the huming
necessary for the upper part of
the Olaa plantation or as far as 18 or
20 miles on the Volcano road Flumc
construction, sufficient for carrying 20
inches of water, will be commenced in
the near future

HILO, February 1O.-George Beckiey
says he offered the use of steamer
last Wednesday for the purpose of
sending to Honolulu the matter for ex-
animation by the physicians there to
determine the cause of Mrs. Serrao's
death. The offer, however, was not ac-
cepted, thus causing considerable de-
lay in determining the case
