Word from Conser.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-A dispatch
from Minister conger was received at
the state department to-day. 1t was
chiefly interesting In being the first
word from him since his dispatch OF
about the 9th ultimo, referring to the
supposed parade Of troops through the
imperial palace in Pekin. Like that
dispatch, this Is dateless as to Pekin.
The contents were not made public. but
1t was stated 1t contained nothing ma
tertally changing the situation. The
lack OF date led to q determination to
take energetic steps by which ali dis
patches hereafter coming to the state
department from China will have the
date clearly. stated. e
Two other dispatches received to-day
from China referred to the state Of
health Of the troops. which generally
Is: satisfactory 1tScannot be learned
that there has been any marked ad-
vancement Of the negotiations between
the powers touching the withdrawal OF
the International forces from Pekin.

QCEAN DEPTH

The greatest ocean depth ever sounded
has just been discovered by the u. S.
Gable ship Nero. which passed here
yesterday on her way to San Francisco
after surveying the ocean bottom from
Manila here, to. find a route for the
proposed cable. Between Manila and
Guam Lieutenant-C Commander Harry
NJ. Hodges reports having found nearly
six miles of water. The depth of his
soundings was $500 fathoms, or 81, $50
feet.
This extreme depth of water was
! found over a considerable space, which
the Nero sounded round in an endeavor
to map out route for the cable. 1t
would be impossible to lay cable over
this part of the ocean and the steam
ship spent some days finding a way
round it. At this point in the great
! Pacific there appears to be a deep val
+ ley in the ocean bed. The Nero's sound
ings went 26O fathoms farther below
the surface than any have ever gone
! before. They have established a new
record of ocean depths that will be Of
great interest to biologists and scien-
lists generally, and as both the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans have now been
surveyed a great deal, it is not unlikely
that Lieutenant Hodges record will
stand as the limit of ocean sounding
for some time.
Other recent Pacific expeditions have
found remarkably deep water, Admiral
Belknap making soundings that show
ed much greater depth than has ever
been found in the Atlantic. In the
Challenger expedition by the British
government the maximum depth found
in the Atlantic was 27,366 feet, in the
Pacific 10000, in the Indian 1882 and
in the Artic 5000. The Neros record
is 1860 feet deeper than any of these.
Lieutenant Hodges named the wonder
Nero Hole" after the steamer Nero.
It's bottom is farther below the surface
than the peak of the highest mountain
in North or South America or Europe
is above it; and only one mountain in
the world has height to match its depth
The Nero was out for eighty days
before she reached Honolulu. Her call
here was to get the two wagon loads
of mail that had accumulated in charge
of Commander Merry and she also
wanted some bolts to make slight re-
pairs to one of her boilers. Captain
Merry had no special orders to give her,
and told the Lieutenant Commander to
go ahead whenever he was ready. Some
time during the night Lieutenant Hod-
ges steamed round Diamond Head and
he is now on the way to San Francisco,
where he will make an official report.
He is believed to have mapped out a
complete route for a cable from Homo
lulu to Manila, via Guam. The dis
tance between here and San Francisco
has already been thoroughly surveyed.

4 JUMP IN STOCK.

Business between boards and at to-
days session of the Stock Exchange
showed marked change from the de-
moralization that has prevailed. Some
of the brokers put it that there has
been a sudden recovery from cold
feet"
There has been a stiffening of prices
nearly all along the line and marked
advances in some stocks. Oahu which
sold last Saturday for 12O was sold to-
day for 1856 and the demand exceeded
the supply. Waialua assessable which
sold a week ago for 40 was sold this
morning between boards at 60 and on
the board at 20. Eva which has sold
within a week at 21, sold today at 25.
The sales reported today exceed any
one days business for a long time.

GOOD MEN CHOSEN BY THE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Man From Hilo Receives an In
vitation Across Kinau Wharf-Ready
for a Legislature.

Representative Loebenstein declares
himself very well satisfied with the fin
al result of his correspondence with the
Board of Health. He thinks that the
people of Hawaii will be pleased to
hear the names of the men chosen to
act as a committee OF sanitary affairs
on the big island but that there may
be some difficulty caused by the fact
that the different members of the body
are a long way apart.
THE men named are just the men
we want" said Mr.. Loebenstein. "The
committee / represent will be more
than glad that the Board of Health has
seen fit to grant the request that some
of our citizens be given power to go
ahead with the work they have mapped
out. My mission is now at an end and
L am ready to return to Hilo as soon
as the steamer will take me-"
The man from Hilo is having a mo-
nOtonous time at Kinau wharf, where
The Kilauea Hou is fastened. This
morning he received an invitation from
Captain McAllister of the Helene,
which is moored at the opposite side of
the wharf, to pay a visit to the latter.
There was the acilli-infected wharf
between, however. Mr.. Loebenstein

1t has been demonstrated repeatedly

When Chinatown was burned ten
days ago the Board of Health felt that
the situation would be easier, but also
announced that there would be other
cases. 1t was then expected that there
should be many cases, perhaps seri-

The most gratifying result has obtain

Chinese NEN YEAR.

Chinese New Year was observed last
night and the celebration is being kept
up today. This is the regular time for
the festival, although the officials of
China have set tomorrow as the day
for the principal time"
1t has been a sad day for the Chinese
of Honolulu, most of whom are in
quarantine. Near 12 o'clock last night
the merchants along Nuuanu street set
OFF few strings of fireworks but the
din was nothing like in the years past.
There was something pathetic about it,
and the Chinese felt it. Religious OBJ
servances were carried out at mid
night.
At Kalihi and the other camps the
days was not so pleasantly observed
on account of crowded conditions and
the distance from town. However. at
all places there was a cheerful spirit
and the Chinese made the best of the
situation.
Tomorrow will be the official New
Year, On account of quarantine reg
ulations there will be no more than an
eXtemporaneous reception at the Chi
nese consulate. The rooms of the Unit
cd Chinese Societies will not be open,
the hall being within the quarantine
lines.
