BONDS OF
REPUBLIC
Time Of Redemption is
in Doubt.
NO TREASURY AGENT !! HERE
Interest Runs Until January First
But Many Holders Will
Sell Now.

From the fact that no officer of the
Treasury Department has yet arrived
In Honolulu it seems apparent that the
United States government does not in
tend at once to take up the Hawaiian
bonds. 1t had been expected that some
agent of the Treasury Department
would arrive on the Mariposa yester-
day to take this matter up, but as no
word has been heard from the Govern
ment on the subject and no authorized
agent of the department has come to
Honolulu the matter is in 5tatu quo.
There are 100000 in Hawaiian Gov
|ernnment bonds in existence, and they
are held. all over the world, but largely
in London and in this city. and there
has been much local interest in the
question of how soon the United States
would redeem them.
General A. S. Hartwell, who went to
Washington as sp6Aial agent for the
Hawaiian Republic at the time the Ha-
waiian Territorial bill was under con-
sideration says that as Congress has
failed to pass the bill for immediate
redemption of the Hawaiian bonds it
was uncertain when they would be TAX
en- up. While Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage was of the opinion that he
had power to act despite the delay of
Congress, whether he would do SO at
once or not General Hartwell did not
know.
Notice that the bonds have become
lredeemable has been sent out to the
holders of them in London and else
where abroad. and it will be published
here shortly. They cannot be called in
until January 1st, and until that time
interest is payable on them. Secretary
Cooper has written to Washington that
while the bonds are not redeemable
until January, there are many holders
here who would be glad to dispose of
them at once and, If they were bought
up now it would be a large saving in
interest. If the bonds were bought in
at once here it would prove of benefit
to the money market as it would dis
tribute large amount in cash that is
at present tied up and unavailable for
active operations.
The winding up of the affairs of the
Postal Savings Bank is another sub
lject that is engaging much attention
lin financial circles. According to the
Territorial Act the bank has already
ceased to exist, having expired with
the Republic on the night of June 18th.
Depositors are entitled to their prin-
cipal and interest on July 1st The Act
prescribes that the demands of deposit
ors shall be certified to by the chief sx-
ecutive of Hawaii as being genuine and
due to the persons presenting them and
his certificates shall be sealed with the
seal of the Territory, and countersigned
by the Secretary and approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, who shall
draw his warrant for the amount upon
the Treasury of the United States All
interest on deposits ceases on the first
day of July.

MISSIONS ARE
STILL AWAITED.
Supreme Court Meets Only to
Adjourn = Word From
Ju ICE Silliman.

1t required the Supreme Court but a
brief five minutes yesterday to meet
and again adjourn. The commissions
OF the justices We're expected to arrive
by the mails from the Coast, but as
they did not come the Court will ad-
journ from time to time until they
reach here.
1t is expected that Judge Stanley
VIII hold over for month or more.
Judge Silliman writes from the East
that he does not expect to be in Homo
iuiu until the first of August and Judge
Stanley will attend to the business of
the Court until his arrival.
Judge Humphreys will take his seat
as soon as his commission arrives. 1t
is understood that the reason of Judge
Stanley's supersession is that he was
not an American citizen.
Justice Whiting enjoyed a large prac-
uce before he went on the bench. Judge
STANLEY was associated with General
f1artweii before he became a judge.
Justice Galbraith is expected to ar
rive from Hilo on Saturday and will re-
celve his commission here Should he
do so the Court will be able to meet
with a quorum as soon as It's members
qualify.

The progress of the construction
work at La Porte, Texas. the future
great deep-water shipping point at the
head OF navigation on Galveston Bay
on the Gulf of Mexico, is progressing
favorably. The wharves and switch
ing tracks are nearing completion and
the work on the streets and on the
sewerage and water systems is nov
under way. Mr.. l. r. Holmes. the gen.
eral manager of the La Porte Improve
ment Company and the La Porte

No royal children are surrounded by

EQUALS THE x-RAYs.
A Phila 'eIphian Make a Similar Photo
graph.

Professor George f. Baker of the
University of Pennsylvania, has made
a discovery that will rank with that
of Roentgen of Xray fame, if not above
it. says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Roentgen ray was the first tenta-
tive experiment in the line of photo
graphing through apparently opaque
bodies, and the difficulty of securing
good results with certainty n dis
patch has been apparent to all those
who have used the system. Professor
Barker now announces hat by means
of the new element. radlum, discovered
by Nine. Curie of Paris, he is able to
take a photograph in n n similar
to that used in the Nray process in less
than half a minute.
TIT value of this discovery is plain
to all those who have followed medi-
can science. The slow process requir-
ed by the Nray will be done away with
entirely, and negatives secured in so
short a space of time that the patient
will not be disconnected by the work.
Further, instead Of the delicate n
costly electrical apparatus now requir-
ed, a plate of radium will be substl-
tuted. This metal has the peculiar
property of radiating an invisible glow
and apparently violates n of the ele-
mentary laws of physics in hat it does
not derive its photographic power
from the sun, nor lose it by eXpen-
diture. 1t is, therefore. far more eco
nomical to use than h Roentgen ray,
and Is always ready, requiring no
careful adjustment. The body through
which the photograph is to he made

and has none of the bad effects, such
as burning and b%listering. which gen

ravors the Metric system.

A notable feature of this annual
statement is Mr.. Cages decidedly
favorable attitude toward n complete
metric system. The people of the
United States are already well ahead
of ourselves in this respect. They have
n decimal coinage. metric tables and
~reckonings are taught in all their
schools and Americans We're virtually
pledged to the general adoption of the
system by the conference of American
nations held nine years ago. Mr.. Gage
is probably right in saying that Great
Britain and Russia would follow the
initiative of the states in making a new
departure. The commercial Importance
of international unanimity in this re-
spect has more han once been urged,
and ably urged, in the House of Com
mons, and the would-be %innovator has
been promptly talked down as a fad
dist. 1t was equally so in Germany
before the present mark coinage was
introduced. That is the usual way,
but we could not afford 20 be the very
last great nation in the world to adopt
the rational system.-London Chroni-

Nome City, Alaska, Where Men Have Been Di4@in3
the Valuable Stuff Out Of the Beach.

Reports of rich findings of gold at
Cape Nome. Alaska. nave been of I'M
usual interest in and around Boston.
because among the residents of Nome
city are a number of men whose
homes are in or near Boston, says a
writer in the New England Home Mag
azine.
Nome City is on Norton sound about
$50 miles northwest of the mouth of the
Yukon river. There are a number of
rich claims along the creeks a short
distance inland, but the most remark
able phase of Nome City mining is
the beach digging. Gold is found in
rich quantities in the sane which lines
the shore.
Gold In the Beach.
For miles to the west of Cape Nome
the beach runs straight away in a
strip of tide land, varying from forty
10 sixty feet in width between high
and low water mark, extending I'D to
the tundra or black alluvial soil.
which is from three to five feet higher
han the beach proper.
All OF this tundra and all the terri
tory along the creeks and rivers east
ana west for thirty or forty miles and
back into the mountains for ten or
Twelve miles a been staked, but on
the long strip of tide lands no man
had a better claim than another, or
could have, under the tide-land laws.
and here the grand army of gold seek
ers camped and in very short order
had converted the barren strand into
a site of tremendous and enthusiastic
Industry. At the same time business
OF all kinds began to respond to the
boom from the beach, and the usual
collection of gambling hells, saloons
and dance halls went into operation,
A few weeks ago it was estimated that
1000 or 1000 miners were at work on
the beach, extending west for twenty
miles. All these work with k
and they occupy just as much territory
to the man or group as can work it.
It is not unsual for one small square
bit of beach to pan out $40 to SIS an
hour, but. of course, the space is soon
exhausted and the lucky digger must
move to another spot.

five other men from Boston and vicin-
ity, he left home for Alaska in Febru-
airy, 1898. He visited Dawson City and
Forty Mile creek. both famous mining
sections, but was better pleased with
Nome City. Mr.. Lowe evidently finds
time to indulge in politics, for he Is
now a common councilman of Nome
City.
Some extracts from a letter which
he has written tell of life in Nome
City more graphically than any of the
published reports from that section.
He wrote: This is probably the
last letter | can write to you before
the winter shuts us in from the out
side world, and perhaps until next
June, unless some mail goes out over
the ice, which | think doubtful, as it
must be carried hundreds of miles by

Typhoid Fever Plentiful.
"A great deal of sickness prevails,
and in nearly every case it is typhoid
fever caused by sleeping on the wet
ground and living on beans. We have
built a good hospital. In the first two
days four men died in 1t. Ten have
been buried and a number sem on

prices. No coal or lumber can be

about Nome is more general than IN
the Klondike country. He thinks sew

near Nome before spring.
Plenty of Opportunity.
MIR. Lowe says there are great open
lngs at Nome for big companies to
work large pieces of ground by buying
up the claims which would be hard for
n single owner to work.
II feel fully warranted in prophecy
Ing that this country is going to be the
greatest mining country in the United
