Tells of Association in San Francisco
and Its Accomplishments to
Merchants

f. w. Dohrmann of San Francisco
addressed the merchants of Honolulu
this morning on the subject of forming
in this city a Merchants Association.
The meeting took place i'm the Chamber
of Commerce. 1t was not largely al
tended but those who were present were
representative business men, and they
eVinced deep interest in the subject
The speaker was introduced by
George w. Smith. Mr.. Dohrmann. who
lis president of the San Francisco NIer-
chants Association, is a business man
from the ground up, and a good speak
er. He said he had not been in Hawaii
long enough to form an opinion of it's
needs in the line proposed. What he
had learned of local institutions and
the drift of public spirit, however, had
convinced him that Hawaii could give
lessons to people of the Mainland in
the conduct of public affairs. While It
might seem strange to say so, i'm the
light of some local discomfort from
time to time, he considered that this
country was admirably governed and
its institutions looked after i'm the best
sort of manner.
San Francisco had had municipal
government for fifty years For forty
years there had been so much political
corruption that normal municipal con-
| ditons were almost impossible. The
Merchants Association was formed six
years ago to correct errors and pre-
vent recurrence of them. Taking San
francisco as an example the speaker
considered conditions at Honolulu at
the present time to be perfect. He had
| found here a sentiment that there was
| honor in holding office and urged citi-
| zens to preserve that sentiment Homo
! lulu should prepare for the future and
| profit by the errors of San Francisco
and other cities.
The San Francisco association start
! ed with AZ members and now had 200.
J They We're retail merchants The prin-
ciples of the association are as follows:
To improve conditions; encourage en-
/ terprises, protect commercial interests
good of all. The line of action was to
cooperate with officials and the press
in the promotion of the City's interests
abstain absolutely from politics; CO.
operation with the Chamber of Com
merce, Board of Trade, etc. for the pro-
motion of general business interests.
! The association has a secretary. super
intendent and directors, and now has
Offices in the Mills building. Dues are
81 month. a library on municipal
matters has been accumulated
Some of the accomplishments of the
association had been keeping streets
clean; street sprinkling as a municipa
function; improved lights; getting wires
underground; improving paving ma
terial; doing away with commercial IL
cense; ridding the city of trading
stamps which had been the curse OF
Oakland; secured an industrial school
settled disputes between business part
ners, and had secured the charter foi
which the city of San Francisco was
so proud. This charter has placed the
civil service in the hands of the mer.
chants.

PRESSING THE WAR
Transvaal Government Reduced to Sc
we're Financial Straits.

LONDON, June %, a. m.-General
Butler is pressing his advance. On
Wednesday he followed the Johannes
burg railway to Paardekop, thirty-one
miles from Standerton. About 300 Beers,
singly or in small parties, have surren-
dered.
Lord Roberts has adopted the Trans-
vaal mining regulations for military
administration. The first train for Pre-
toria left Cape Town yesterday.
dispatch from Lourenzo Marquee
says: THE Beers have printed and
posted at every corner the following:
"'MACHADODORP, Monday.-The
Paris exposition has closed and France
has declared war against England
Fifty miles of railway has been &C.
stroyed in the Free State and 80, 00C
British have surrendered
Five miles of telegraph between
KomatipoOrt and Koop Maiden are
down and native runners traverse the
distance. The Beers continue to assert
| that they have had success east of Pre-
toria.
The Transvaal Government, according
to the Lourenzo Marquee correspondent
of the Times, is reduced to severe ffnan'
/ cial straits and is endeavoring to meet
/ the emergency with treasury bills, bu
| the people refuse to accept them.
| 1t is hoped that General Buffers ad
vance westward will hasten the conclu
sion of hostilities by cutting off all com
munication between President Steyr
and General De Vets forces in the Or
ange River Colony and General Botha'i
| burghers in the Transvaal, and com
pleting the combined movement t.
move Steyn and De Wet to which Lore
Roberts referred in a recent dispatch.

MARSHAL RAY HAS CONE
JUDGE EsTEE NOT TO START FOR
TWO WEEKS.
District Attorney Baird Probably With
Him-Unwelcome News for the Law
yers-The New Marshal.

Colonel ID. A. Ray, United States
marshal for the Hawaiian Islands, was
among the arrivals here on the steam
ship China this morning. He is ac-
companied by his daughter who has
been talked of as a possible deputy, as
she has had experience in the work, but
1t is stated that she will not enter upon
such work here. Colonel Ray has been
i'm Hawaii before and is quite we'll
known here, having accompanied the
Hawaiian commission sent from Wash
ington.
The new marshal reports that United
States Judge Estee and District Attor-
ney Baird will not be here for some
weeks yet. THE judge said he would
not be able to get away till about the
18th of next month";" said the new mar
shall "and l understand that Baird
will come with him. Until they arrive
there will be nothing for me to do,
except to look over the field and make
preliminary arrangements. i shall in
terview the authorities and look after
a location for the United States court
and shall make recommendations as to
the number of deputies to be appointed
1t is impossible to say how many we
shall be allowewd. / shall make my
report, and the department will act"
The non-arrival of Judge Estee has
already caused more or less trouble
among the lawyers, and the news that
he is not to be expected for a month or
three weeks will be very unwelcome.
! His absence may also cost the govern
ment some money in damages. Suits
| against the government for not having
| a court in existence in which certain
| kinds of business can be done are al
ready talked Of

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
COLONEL MACFARLANE BRINGS A
CHARTER.
VIII Change the American Bank at

A meeting of the officers and directors
of the First American bank is to be
called at once for the purpose of ar
ranging for the conversion of the in
stitution into the First National Bank
of Hawaii Col. G. w. Macfarlane
brought with him this morning a char
ter granted by the government for the
new banking institution which has been
made the governments financial agent
in the Islands aud will be the depository
of government funds. The New York
banking firm Of Seligman is behind the
enterprise.
'As soon as the Hawaiian bill passed
Congress- said Colonel Macfarlane,
"and it became known that the Terri
torial law would go into effect on the
Islands on June 14th. =. n. Lilienthal
of the Anglo-CalifoTnia Bank, San
Francisco, and myself left for New
York to secure the influence of the Sell
igmanS in securing a charter for the
First National Bank. I visited WASH
ington almost directly after arriving In
the east to look after the preliminary
details and with Mr.. Lilienthal practi-
cally paved the way aided by the inffu-
ence of Selgman & Co, to secure ahead
of the other applications filed in Wash

Bank. which always carries with it the

quired to sign the application with me.

GOLD SAND IN HAWAII.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-H S.
Jones. who has just returned from the
Hawaiian Islands, reports that several
rich deposits of gold bearing black sand
have been discovered about twenty
miles from Honolulu, on land owned by
native, and that it yields $500 per ton
for some, and none less than Sl3l per
ton He also says that there are three
mining experts and assayers on the
ground, and that they are taking the
sand in sacks from the creek to ship
that will take 1t to Vallejo to the Selby
Smelling Works. Fifty tons are eX-
pected by the next steamer. Walter
Selby is being mentioned as being con-
cerned in the matter.

MONEY ON THE CHINA
THREE-QUARTERs OF A MILLION
DOLLARS.
Advanced to Pay the Postal Deposito.s
Chance Of Getting the $4,OOOOOO at
once by Similar Arrangement.

Colonel G.. w. Macfarlane arrived
this morning on the steamship China,
bringing $75O,000 with him, to pay the
depositors of the Postal Savings Bank.
It is all in gold coin and government
exchange and represents money advan-
ced by the New York banking firm Of
Seligman in order that the Postal de-
positors might get the money at once,
instead of waiting for the government
to pay. The advance was secured by
Colonel Macfarlane in order that the
payment of the money might relieve the
tightness of the Honolulu money mar
ket. There is some chance that sim
liar arrangement may be made in the
matter of the $4,000, 900 worth of Hawai-
ian bonds.
The three-quarters of a million dol
lars were placed in the First American
bank, through which they will be paid
out. w. h. McLennan, chief of the De-
partment of Bookkeeping at Washing
ton, also came on the China to make
arrangements for the payments. Mr.
McLennan brought with him 10000
| printed certificates, which are to be
properly filled out and signed and coun-
| tersigned by Governor Dole and Secre-
tary Cooper They will be vouchers for
the moneys handed over to the depos!-
| tors.
| "The object in rushing the money
here" said Colonel Macfarlane this
morning, was to relieve the tightness
of the market here and the payments
| are bound to have a good effect. WheT
| left New York there was discussion
as to arrangements for disposing of the
| $4,000,000 in the same way SeligmaI
Twas ready to advance the money, il the
government could see its way TO ente1
! into a proper contract for returning it
The failure of Congress to pass the bill
! for the payment was purely an ever
Lotto 1la mo for Il
the rush of business at the end of the
session. There is no doubt the appro
priation will be made at the beginning
of the next session. The bill for in
cidental expenses of the treasury de-
partment was overlooked in the same
way, and the department is somewha
crippled.
Though the matter may be arrang
ed, 1 do not think it very likely tina
the $4,000,000 can be advanced. | shall
look into it further when l return
which will be in about week. It !!
my opinion, however, that the govern
ment cannot make a contract tina
could be accepted by Seligman, ihsur
ing the return of the money"
Mr.. McClennan and Postmaster Ga
called on Governor Dole this afternooi
to talk over preliminaries. Secretar
Cooper and Treasurer Lansing wer
called. Mr.. McClennan was informe
that the immediate refunding of tn
deposits in the Postal Savings Ban
would greatly relieve the local financia
situation, as depositors had eXpecte
such would be done, and had planne
accordingly. He replied that this coul
probably be accomplished at once. !
meeting was arranged with Secretar
Cooper for this afternoon to talk owe
the matter.

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.-For the
first time in the history of American
politics Hawaii was called on the roll
of a national convention. When the
newly acquired territory was called by
Assistant Secretary Malloy, Colonel
Samuel Parker rose and made his an
nouncement in a full, resonant voice.
He was received with tremendous ap-
plause.
The Hawaiian delegation is almost a
fad. They are cheered and welcomed
wherever they appear, and when their
name was reached on the roll call this
afternoon they were generously ap-
plauded. The Republican party saved
Hawaii to the United States, and when
it's first delegation to an American con-
vention filed in to the hall they were
greeted by scores of men who had
fought their battles for years in Con-
gress and before the people. Their
standard, bearing just the word "Ha-
waii " looked quite at home alongside
of those from the other states.
After the committee on credentials
had voted representation to the Terri
tory of Hawaii, the delegation attend
ing the convention from the Pacific
islands met and fully organized. Har-
old M. Sewall, the son of the Demo-
cratic Vice President candidate of 1896
was elected national committeeman, he
thus having the honor to be the first
official representative on the Republi-
can National Committee of any of ou
new possessions. A. N. KepOikai wa:
elected a member of the platform com
mittee.
PHILADELPHIA June 21.-Col. San
Parker was selected to represent Ha.
waii on the committee to notify Nc
Kinley of his nomination, and Judge A
N. Kepoikai on the committee to motif!
Roosevelt of his nomination.
PHI, "A DEF ,PHTA June 1S.-At thi
closing meeting of the National Repub
lican committee today, the delegates
from Alaska, John E. Held and w. T.
D. Grant, were admitted to seats. al
were those from Hawaii, Colonel San.
uel Parker and A. N Kepoikai. In tn
latter case there were some pleasan
speeches. Colonel Parker said that hi
grandfather was an American citi2el
and that he was glad to be allowed t
sit in a national convention.

of the play, yet it fairly glistens with
brilliant epigrams.
Here is an illustration Of some of the
dialogue: You deserted your child and
went away with your lover, and he de-
serted you" says Lord Windermere
with the uncompromising contempt of
a good man.

been destroyed, or so nearly destroyed
as to deprive it, no doubt, of much OF
its beauty. Broken and battered by
the earthquake of last October, the old

STAMPS IN BOOKS
New Feature in Convenience in Postal
Regulations.


In response to a telegraphic order,
Postoffice Inspector NJ. II. Flint receiv-
ed by the China this morning a big box
which he believes contains stamps and
stamped envelopes, postal cards and
that sort of thing sent from the San
Francisco postoffice. These he hopes to
have on sale tomorrow morning.
One thing in connection with the
stamps that will be especially apprec-
lated here is that they will come bound
in little books, the stamps being sepa-
rated from one another by leaves of
parafine paper to prevent them from
sticking to one another. The following
is what the postoffice department says
about them:
For public convenience the postoffice
department is furnishing the two-cent
denomination of postage stamps In
small bound books of u, "a and As cents
EACH and of postage value "a, 4S and SO
cents, respectively. They are sold at
an advance Of one cent on the stamp
value of each book, to cover the. cost
of manufacture. The pages are of six
stamps each, interleaved with paraf-
fined paper to prevent premature adhe-
sion, making a book of convenient size
to carry in the pocket or pocketbook."
