large smelters in Mexico and a number Of

the trust will. 1t is said. purchase the two

pany. one of which is situated at San Luis

situated at Nolardena. and the smciter

The trust is also negotiating for the rur-
chase of large number of reduction works
situated in the principal mining districts In

This is probably an exaggeration, grow
ing out of the recent pooling Of interests
by the American Smelling and Refining

the new combination will take measures to

TAKEN As A TRANSPORT
NEW STEAMER CALIFORNIA;
ARRIVES.
Was Chartered Immediately After Her
Trial-One of the Largest and Best
Tramps Afloat.

The new tramp steamship Californian
was chartered by the Government I'M
mediately after her trial trip, and she
arrived here this morning on her way
to the Philippines with army stores,
being on her first voyage. The Califor-
MAN had trial trip with freight aboard
just before she left for Honolulu on the
18th of this month She behaved SPLEEN
didly and has kept up the same record
ever since. The run from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu was made without a
stop at about ten and a half knots
speed, the vessel slowing up at noon
yesterday to avoid arriving here dur
ing the night. She was sighted from
Koko Head shortly after four o'clock.
The Californian is in command of
Captain Morrison, who came from New
York to take charge of her when she
was launched at the Union Iron Works,
San Francisco. She is one of the larg-
est and best tramp steamers in the
world, having cost half a million dol
lars. She is one of four such vessels
being built by the Hawaiian American
line, to run from New York to San
Francisco and Honolulu. 1t was the
intention to begin the service at once,
but the Government took the Califor
MAN when she was ready for sea, and
the steamship company will have to
postpone it's contemplated new service.
With the exception of the Algoa, the
Californian is the largest tramp that
ever came here. She can carry about
10000 tons of freight by measurement,
and $500 tons dead weight. She is ABS
feet long, 81 feet beam and 80 feet deep.
Her trial speed was IL knots. Her gross
register is 4,597 tons.
Some of the officers of the Californian
are well known here. having been to
Honolulu in other steamers Chief En-
gineer w. Chisholm and First Assistant
r. Donaldson We're both in the Senator,
and Second Assistant Lasswell was in
the Australia for some years. Frank
Turner fills the berth of chief officer.
E. NJ. HUE is the quartermasters clerk
on board, and A. j. Smith the commits
sary clerk. After taking about 300 tons
of coal here the Californian will leave
for Manila. She has about 1000 tons
of stores on board. The big steamer is
at the end of the Pacific Mail wharf.

AMERICAN sENsITIVENEss.

The sensitiveness of Americans over
the naturalization of their nationality
in foreign countries must surpass that
of any other people. Only on this ten
DRY can you account for the attention
given to the naturalization as a British
subject of the son of the late Marshall
o. Roberts of New York. The young
man had been reared in England he IN
tends to live there, and his mother had
taken an English colonel for a second
husband, so that he had every reason
for changing his allegiance. Yet the

MIR. REYNOLDS MISSION.
Will Round Up Patients on Hawaii for
The Molokai Settlement.

C. B. Reynolds trip to Hawaii is
more important and particular than
many suppose. For two or three years
there has been complaint that arrest Of
persons who should go to Molokai was
not being properly attended to by dep
uty sheriffs. The marshal of that time
explained that some of the deputy
sheriffs were related to patients, and for
various reasons were probably inten-
tionally lax in enforcing the law. 1t
was problem to handle in view of all
the circumstances.
Mr.. Reynolds purposes going all
around and gathering up all the pa
tents to be heard of on the Island.
They will be sent to Molokai as fast as
possible. Most of them will, of course,
have to come to Kalihi for examination.
1t is not supposed that there are a
great number at large on the big island
though their exact situation is not posi-
lively known.
