WASHINGTON, D. c., August 3.-Rear
Admiral Melville holds the opinion that
Baltimore and Richmond now have faci-
ties for the construction of the largest
warships designed by the Government. He
expressed that opinion when discussing
the subject of competition among ship
builders for the execution of the Navy De-
partment's plans for the building of battle
ships and cruisers, involving an expendi-
ture of nearly S60,00o,C0o.
These shipyards.'' said the Admiral,
'have now the plant, the water, the space
and the technical forces to build battleships
armoCed cruisers, and large protected
cruisers, the type of vessels included in
the fourteen for which bids are shortly
to be asked and representing the most
extensive plan of shipbuilding ever under
taken by the American Navy in a single
year.
SPAREOW'S POINT co.
THE Sparrow's Point Co. is the only
Maryland concern now competent to bid
on these ships, with any probability of re-
ceving an award, and from my personal
knowledge of the work they are turning
out, I am confident they can successfully
compete with some Of the larger concerns.
Baltimore has not for years actively en-
gagged in building ships for the navy. the
last of any considerable size built there
being the Montgomery and Detroit. These
were fine ships although delayed in their
completion beyond contract time.
There is ample water on the upper
Chesapeake Bay for battleship conStruc-
ton, and all we need is the proper me-
chanical genius to carry on the work.
Three destroyers are now building there,
and they will all no doubt prove to be
fine specimens Of naval architecture.
FINE PLANT HERE.
Eat Richmond there is a plant that, in
my judgment, cannot only build torpedo
boats, but any size and class Of warship
the navy requies. Torpedo boat destroyers, a
new cruiser and a submarine boat are now
building there for the navy, and I see no
! reason why the Trisgs cannot bid with
some reasonable certainty of securing a
vessel OF the large ships recently designed.
There is eighteen feet of water at his
present yard, and none Of the new ships
would be launched drawing more than
fourteen They could be noated father
down the river mile or two and there
receive their armOr and battery, and saan
| find twenty-five feet to the sea.
''While it might be necessary to launch
| the battleships and armoured cruisers
| sideways, and this no doubt would be done
| there is no reason or objection for this
! method being pursued. Sideways launch
| ings are the rule abroad and may be effected
as readily as the stern launch"

CONSIDERED ON RREES

The George /. Edwards habeas cor
pus case was argued before the Su-
preme court yesterday afternoon and
taken under advisement Petitioners S
bail was fixed at $4,000, but the petit
toner has not yet secured bail. Ed
wards claims that his conviction was
contrary to the constitution of the Uni
ted States in that only ten out of the
twelve jurors concurred in the verdict.
The whole question hinges on whether
or not Hawaii was part of the United
States at any time prior to June Ii,
1900. The government contends that
it was not, which is contrary to the plea
of the petitioner.
More American citizens are being
made this afternoon. This morning the
Supreme court announced special
sitting at 80 p. IN. for that purpose.
All the applications filed to date will
be heard.

ANOTHER SERIES OPENED.
Building and Loan Association Prepar-
ing For a Boom.

The Pioneer Building and Loan AS
sociation held it's annual meeting last
evening, and received reports of its Of
ficers for the twelve months just closed.
1t was stated that this is one insti-
tuition that the tight money market has
greatly benefited, as the bids for cash
have been higher than ever before.
1t was decided to open the twenty
first series at once. Most of 1t was
subscribed Immediately. Under the
rules the list will be kept open two
months. The first series has been fully
paid up and has run out. The second
series, amounting to little over $44,-
OOO lacks only about $4,000 of being
paid up. 1t was the closing of these
two series that made the opening of the
twenty-first desirable at this time.
The following officers were chosen for
the ensuing year: Theo. F.. Lansing,
president; Arthur A. Wilder, vice pres
ident; A. V. Gear, secretary; Charles
b. Gray, treasurer; A. G. M. Robertson,
attorney.
Attention was called TO the fact that
the association has done as much as
any other institution in building oper-
ations of the past year. Its houses
have gone up all over, including the
outlying districts of Kalihi and Kali
muki The houses are residences for
subscribers.

PROFIT Sharing SCHEME.
MEAT COMPANY AND GRAzIERs
IN CAHoOTs.
Island Stock Men May Get More for
Their Cattle in Future, Enabling
Them to Compete with California.

In its Improvement ideas the Metro
politan Meat Company, Limited, which
was incorporated yesterday. will enter
inta 4 sort of partnership with the
graSlers. The scheme will ensure more
money 10 the stock men and will place
them in position to compete with inn
ported meats. 1t is not improbable
that the result will be to encourage
stock raising and a larger local pro-
duction OF meat.
A clause Of the new contract of the
corporation is that stock shall be paid
for at highest market figure; the sum
of $4,000 a year shall be reserved and
credited to the profit and loss account;
then the balance shall be divided equal
ly between the company and the gra-
ziers. Profits of imported meats will
accrue directly to the company. The
dividends from this arrangement Will
bring the receipts of the local graziers
up to such a figure as to make their
business very profitable.
OF course in the past the graZiers
have had more or less interest in the
business of the Metropolitan Meat
Company, but this new and general
arrangement is an innovation and one
that will undoubtedly prove more sat
isfactory to them
The new capital of the company is
S125, 900, divided into 1850 shares of Sl91.
There is the privilege of increasing to
$500, ,000 and the liability of the concern
is placed at half a million. The pro
moters and head men are Mark p.
Robinson, George f. Mcleod, Cecil
Brown. F. NJ. Swanzy and Gilbert j.
Waller Interested with them are l..
L. McCandless and a full dozen others.
The company expects to increase it's
facilities in the way of more room.
Just how this will be done, however,
is not yet settled.

PRIDE Of ROTTEN ROW
THE SEBASTIAN BACH PUT INTO
COMMISSION.
Two Hawaiian and South Sea Captains
Find a Soft Snap Living on the Old
Relic.

Captains Charlie Williams and Sam
Martin, old-timers ip Hawaiian Island
trade and in South Sea business, have
a new job now, one that is much easier
than the blackbirding of old South Sea
days. or taking small schooners about
the Hawaiian Islands. They are snug
ly housed on board the old bark Sebas-
tian Bach, the oldest relic among a
lot anchored together at the end OF
Rotten Row i'm the harbor. There are
the Kaimiloa, the Kaena and other old
remains that have no name now.
The Sebastian Bach is being used by
Henry Macfarlane as a warehouse and
has lot Of rice on her now. The idea
of hitting her up for sea has been aban-
doned, at least for the present, as it
would cost a very large sum. She does
not leak where she is lying now, and
makes a very good storehouse. Some
day, If Honolulu ever has another visi-
tation of plague or smallpox, she may
be quarantine ship.
Williams and Martin are living on
board with their wives to look after the
old wreck and see that nothing is sto-
len from her. There is not much to
steal, except rigging, anchor chains
and old relics of the days when she was
a good bark. Three old guns with
bayonets and three equally old swords
are on the wall of the captains cabin,
and there are other old curios which
night time visitors might take away.
The old bark is the most old fashioned
vessel here. She sailed the seas for
over half a century before she rounded
up here in a useless condition, The
two island captains have been able to
find comfortable and roomy quarters
in her deserted cabin.
Considerable alterations are being
made down below in the old bark, to
make her better fitted for a storeship,
and her boats are being repaired so
that they will be i'm good condition.
There is a lot of rigging and a little
furniture. but all so dilapidated that
it cannot be made much use Of The
rails of the companion way will not
stand touch; the bulwarks where the
waves swept across the vessel amid
ships, show daylight across the deck.
and the mizzen topmast is a broken
stick The Sebastian Bach has had
one Of the longest histories on the sea
of any windjammer afloat, but she is
still thought by some who have visited
her to be strong enough to stand more.
The owner has been advised to fix her
up and send her to the Sound for lum-
Der, which it is thought she might carry
safely. There would have to be great
cleaning first, however.
The vessel still has her ballast ana
leak and patched-up windmill, and a
fine growth is gathering on her bot
tom. At the present rate of develop
ment she will soon equal the condition
( in which the old Kaimiloa was when
plague necessities brought her to the
front

THE Strong NAN INSANE

Judge Wilcox had a very short ses-
sion of court this morning. His prin-
cipal business was an inquiry into the
mental condition of the professional
strong man, Antonio Pirri, who was
performer at a local theateT a few
weeks ago and disposal of the case of
Tom Van. charged with obstructing an
officer in the discharge of his dutf. In
all the other cases the plea was guilty.
Dr. Emerson and Police Captain Fox
testified that they considered Antonio
PirTi a very dangerous lunatic. He had
just bought a gun to protect himself
from a lot of imaginary enemies and
seemed ready to use it, Pirri was
found at Emma Square last night by
Captain Fox with a piece of candle in
the bottom of a bucket. He said he
was looking for his baggage, which
had been stolen from him on the XII
nau, on which steamer Pirri recently
returned from a trip to Hilo. Pirri Is
a man of large build and great strength
and was able to make quite good Nv
ing in theatrical work. 1t was while he
was visiting Hilo that he became In
sane. He was observed to be afflicted
with melancholia at times, and had a
habit of indulging in tears without any
apparent cause. Pirri Is an Italian by
birth, twenty-one years of age. He has
been living on the Islands for about q
year. He was ordered committed.
! In the case of Tom Yam, Officer Hal
vorson testified that the defendant hao
/ tried to rescue a native who was being
arrested as a drunk. Tom was finec
$40 for interfering with the policeman
! A Chinese named Sing was fined So
for having a small bean of opium in his
possession. Sing said he was i'll and haC
a family, and made a plea for mercy
but the law allows no smaller sentence
| than $50.

This evening the Neill company will
be seen in one of it's greatest and most
interesting dramatic successes, Cap
tain Swift" a part in which Mr.. Neill
has appeared more than 300 times.
The story Of the play is one of absorb
ing interest, and tells of the strange
career of an illegitimate son, whose
mother has been duped into a mock
marriage. This son becomes the prince
of highwaymen in Australia is finally
revealed to the mother and also traced
to the end by a Scotland Yard detec-
tive. AS the engagement of the Neill
company begins to draw to a close, the
more are the regrets expressed by low

THE BUSINESS THROTTLED
COMPETITION WILL KILL CIGAR
MANUFACTURING.
Local Makers Not Able to Compete
With Mainland Factories-Only ono
Application for License.

United States tariff regulations will
probably eNterminate the business of
manufacturing cigars in the Hawaiian
Islands. This may appear strange
when IL is remembered that the duty
on imported cigars is supposed to pro-
tect the manufacturer from Philippine
competition but places him completely
at the mercy of his other competitor
on the mainland.
The way the law works out is to pro-
tect the purely American manufac-
turer of purely American leaf tobacco
against foreign manufactured goods
and foreign leaf. In Hawaii a very,
bacco. 1t is coarse in every respect
and brings a low price. When better
cigars have been attempted the to-
bacco has been imported from China
and Manila. The new law will kill
Hawaiian leaf cigars, as the United
taxes on cigars reckons the number
and not the quality in cheap goods.
Again, it knocks out cigars from i'm
ported leaf as the import duty is very
high. The only recourse of the local
manufacturer then is to import his to-
bacco from the mainland. Freight and
other expenses in this process wipes
the profit from the business.
I'VE have one application for a
license under consideration, stated
w. F. c. Hasson, of the Internal Re
venue Office this morning; but it is
not yet possible to say what may be
done with it. My impression is that
local manufacturers will not be able
to compete with mainland manufac-
turers OF course there are not many
manufacturers here and none of them
are large Most if not quite all, are
Chinese. They have been putting
cheap cigars on the market.
so far we have done nothing save
to notify them of the law. The matter
would have been taken up earlier hut
it is the desire of the bureau to gel
other revenue matters Strengthened out
first"
