ZEALANDIA TAKES MANY SACKS
OF PRESENTS AWAY.
Big Rush to Post Packages and Letters.
Two More Boats Can Carry Christ
mas Mail.

The Zealandia leaves this afternoon
with a large quantity of mail aboard
destined for Coast and Eastern points.
1t is the major portion of the Christ
mas mail and naturally the shipment
is many times larger than usual The
increase has been in all character of
stuff. The letters are greatly in eN-
cess of the average mail while the
amount of packages is enormous.
BY noon today 10 sacks had been fill
ed with Christmas presents and as this
was thought to be but fair percentage
of the entire shipment, the postal au-
thorities could not estimate how many
more sacks would be necessary
Assistant Postmaster Kenake had
force of men at work as late as 12
o'clock last night but as the mail stuff
had not really begun then there was
not much of a rush.
The rush occurred today; and since
early morning the force has been on
the jump asserting the mail matter
| The packages have been very heavy
indicating that every conceivable arti-
Gle of local color was sent away.
The registered mail closed at noon
and from the morning until long after
the noon hour a long line was waiting
to be freed of their packages. The
stamp window was also beseged and
"A rushing business was done in that
quarter.
| The postal order department was the
scene of unusual crowds, over two
/ hundred orders being written during
! the day.
! The rush of mail matter would be
! much greater were it not for the fact
! that the America Maru is due tOmor-
! row and the Alameda is expected on
! the 18th. Both of these vessels are
! bound for San Francisco and as they
are faster boats than the Zealandia it
! is not improbable that the America
Maru may reach the Mainland almost
| as soon as does the former.

IAS DRUNK MARINE SANTA CLAUS WILL RAISE VEGETABLES
HONOLULU TO BE SUPPLIED
FROM WAIMEA.
H. NJ. Long, a California shipper, En-
cages in Business on Large Scale
viii Knock Out California.

Honolulu is to be supplied with island
vegetables on the California plan. This
announcement has been made 50 often
before that the public will naturally
look askanCe at it, but the new ven-
ture is so promising that there can
hardly be a doubt of satisfactory full
tillment.
II. NJ. Long. one of the best known
truck farmers of California, is the
father of the new project. He began
work here in August. although prior to
that time the Islands was his princi-
pal market and he frequently visited
Honolulu. Mr.. Long would raise cab
bage, lettuce, caulifiower, cucumbers
and dozen other things on his Califor-
mia ranch expressly for the Honolulu
market. He would send them down
and at times would come down himself
to see how the business was getting
along. He was making money, but it
was always a puzzle-the question of
why the Islands could not produce its
own vegetables.
Mr.. Long looked into the matter and
discovered that the Islands could not
only produce everything the market re-
quires but could do so cheaper and at
better profit than California. In
looking around he came in contact with
Sam Parker, to whom he unfolded his
ideas. The cowboy of Hawaii offered
| piece of land near Waimea and il was
dtCeI)leu MI. lLOllB went at OllCt "
work, ploughing and getting the soil in
condition. He planted everything in
his calendar.
After four weeks" said Mr.. Long,
who is now in the city, yesterday after
noon: my cauliilOWer beets cabbage
and other vegetables We're as large and
| as tall as the same are in California
after four months growth. The soil is
| marvelously rich and the climate is
! perfect. l now have vegetables ready
! for market and will soon be sending
| them to Honolulu.
! Mr.. Long has just returned from the
| Coast. He went over to bring down
| some help. and succeeded in engaging
an expert Italian gardener whom he
| has known for years. This man will do
| the delicate work on the farm at Wal
mea while Mr.. Long will have a general
! supervision over it. The promoter and
| the gardener will leave on Tuesday for
| Hawaii. While in town this time Mr..
! Long made arrangements with the Will
| der Steamship Company for handling
| his products. They will be brought
down regularly after this on the boats
! of that company.

MAUNALEI MUST PAY UP
JUDGMENT RENDERED AGAINST
PLANTATION.
Risdon Iron Works Wants over $1,000
And Expenses-Newton Money Into
Court-Miner Case Appealed.

Judgment was this morning signed by
George Lucas, clerk of the Circuit court
against the Maunalei Sugar Company,
island of Lanai, for the sum of $l6,642.-
7S, being a claim and expenses on same
of the Risdon Iron & Locomotive Works
of San Francisco. The original claim,
which was for pumping appliances, was
SIS, 1875, added to which is $92Ol4 in
terest, S396.39 attorneys fees and Slb-
so court costs.
1t is understood that there was no
desire on the part of the Risdon Iron
Works to foreclose on this Judgment
but no effort at payment, resulting in
tangible results having been made, 1t
was deemed best to try and get the
money if possible. There Is little at
Maunalei, save a glowing prospect, to
satisfy any judgment. Had money come
to the fore, as should have been the
case the plantation would doubtless
have been a success; but, now if it does
not arrive by January l, the prospect
may go "up the spout"
| Henry Holmes yesterday filed mo-
| tion in the Circuit court to require r.
d. Mead to pay into court the moneys
realized from the sale of land under the
| Newton VS.. Newton proceedings: There
| being no objection by counsel of either
side to this, an order to that effect was
signed this morning.
DIR. Miner has appealed his divorce
| case to the Supreme court. The papers
were filed this morning, exceptions gen
orally being taken to the rulings of the
Circuit judge.
The Circuit term will end tomorrow
A second judge not having yet been
appointed, Judge Humphreys has de-
I cided that he cannot spare the time foi
a vacation. He will appear at his office
/ every morning until after New Year tC
! fix up any important matter that may
! be presented.

FOWLER AGENCY MATTER GOES
INTO COURT.
George w. Macfarlane and Fowler
Want over $4,000 From the Foundry
Man-Papers Filed Yesterday.

Two suits for accounting were this
morning filed against Robert Cation, of
the Cation, Neill Company, for an ac-
counting. The suits are brought by
John Fowler & Company of England,
and George W. MaCfarlane, of Homo
lulu, and are for total of something
over $4,000. Hatch & Silliman are at
torneys for both petitioners.
The suits If they stick, will develop
the ramiEtations of an OH iieal. P,ior
to 1893 Colonel Macfarlane and the late
w. l.. Green were associated together
as agents for Fowler in the Hawaiian
Islands. Colonel Macfarlane, left alone
in the business, made a deal with Ro-
bert Cation, on January /, 1898, to take
him in as a partner and share the pro-
fits.
Cation divided with Macfarlane for
one year and then quit. In his bill
Macfaarlane alleges that Cation has
since that time acquired more than S21,-
900 in commission and has accounted to
him for no part of it. On the other
hand it is understood to be the claim
of Mr. Cation that Macfarlane has not
| looked after the bushes since 1898 and
is therefore not entitled to any part of
| the commissions.
Fowler q Company want to recover
an unpaid balance of about $4,000
| which the firm alleges is due and un-
paid by Cation. In the bill it is al
! legged that Macfarlane and Cation were
agents of the-company up to February
2S, 1899, when business relations with
Cation were terminated. A great many
transactions were entered into the bal
| ance above mentioned remained and
still remains unpaid
The suit is not a friendly one by
any means. 1t will be warmly present
ed and probably stubbOrnly fought. Ro-
bert Cation alone is concerned, the Cat
ton, Neill Company not being directly
| affected.

MIR. CHARLoCK EXPLAINS.
Tells of Difficulties in Handling Death
Per Centages

c. Charlock, clerk Cf the Board Ct
Health, explains that the reason f4,50O
is figured in the mOrtuary reports is
that the returns of the official election
of 1900 have not yet been received. 1t
is known that the population is some
thing over $4,000, but nothing whate yer
is known about the population by ma
tionalities. The plague census, Mr..
Charlock affirms, is the only thing he
can go by in fixing the death rate of
different nationalities at this time.
When the figures of the official census
arrive the proper change can be made. =
1.-The records are wrong, of course"
said Mr. Charlock, "and they have
been wrong for months, but certainly
we cannot help it. We cannot go by
the census of 1896, which is now far
ther out than the plague census. We
cannot use the official census yet be-
cause there is no statement of the po-
pulation by nationalities. l can put in
the total and figure a general death rate
leaving out the death rate by nationa-
lities, but that would be incomplete and
unsatisfactory So you see l am be-
tween the devil and the deep sea in the
matter

Is wine Intoxicating, and if SO, has a
judge a right to declare without eNi-
dence that it is an intoxicating drink?
This is the question which Judge VIII
cox took under adVisement this morn
ing. The ordinary citizen would quick
ly answer in the affirmative but Mrs
Maria Walmers' lawyers claim that the
right of judge to say that wine is m
toXicating is matter of grave doubt,
and the district judge was not sure
about 1t and wanted time to think it
over.
The prosecution in the Walmers case
offered evidence to show that the de-
fendant had sold beer and wine. There
was no testimony about whether the
drinks were intoxicating or not The
sta tute on the subject has a concluding
clause which makes it necessary that
the drinks shall be Intoxicating before
a conviction can be had Therefore the
defense. moved for the discharge of the
defenuaat, on the ground that no intox-
icating drink had been shown to have
been sold by her
Judge Wilcox said he would think
about it. The beer might have been
root beer, and whether the wine was
Intoxicating or not was a conclusion.
The case went over for a day in which
the will decide whether it has right to
hold Mrs. Walmer without proof that
the wine she sold was really an intoXi-
eating drink.
Judge Wilcox is spending much time
| with liquor cases now. The three
charges against Manuel Souza are not
ended yet. He has been convicted on
two and is fighting the other this af-
| ternoOn. Joe Lopez, whose case was
| taken under advisement, was declared
not guilty this morning. The judge
visited the place where the liquor wa:
said to have been sold, and found tina
one of the witnesses for the prosecution
had testified to seeing the sales from {
place from which he would have had L
| see through walls.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

News arrived today that wireless
telegraphy is working perfectly be-
tween all the islands to the south and
Honolulu. The difficulty is the lack of
land lines which will be established in
a very few days now. In Honolulu the
new station has not yet been connect
ed with the telephone making it neces-
sary to send messages to it by hand.
On Molokai the telephone is twenty
miles away and on Maui 1t is three
miles. On Hawaii the situation is
about as bad but is being remedies.
