his pocked picked on a crowded street
car Tuesday evening, He was standing
on the rear platform and he recalls that
when abont half way between Congress S
street and Woodfords he was jostled by
some of the fellow passengers. He
thought nothing of it till he arrived in
town, and made the discovery that HIS
long leather pocketbool1 was missing.
Fortunately it had no money in it, but
checks, a Maine Central mileage book
and several private papers We're Included
in its contents and Mr.. Coolidge didn't
like the idea of permanently parting
company with these effects.
Wednesday he received an invitati on
to call at Geo. G. Shaw & Co.'s uptown

at the proroguing Of Parliament, after
stating that the relations with the pow

Referring to the Chinese situation the
speech says:
'',Ehe British and other legations at

by an insurgent mob and 1t is fear ed
many of their inmates have been muir
dered. How far the Chinese authorities

MEMORANDA.


]. F. May has been appointed a GUS
toms guard.
The dredger which has been work.
ing at the quarantine wharf, has broken
down, and some time is likely to elapse
before the wharf is finished.
Not a single vessel, island or foreign,
left the harbor yesterday, and the only
arrival was q schooner from the Sound,
and a barkentine from nitrate ports.
A four-masted schooner was off Koko
Head at O'Clock this morning. An
other Island schooner from Kauai was
becalmed off the harbor for a long
time.
Lumber vessels coming from the
Sound report higher prices for charters
for here than have prevailed for many
years. Within three years lumber has
been brought here for SO so and $500 a
thousand Now the price has gone up
to $500 and one charter is reported as
high as $11 90. The usual number of
vessels are on the way, however as the
demand for lumber is too steady here
to be affected by higher prices. The
plague situation here is mainly respon-
sibe for the rise in rates, and 1t is
said that the vessels have not much
higher profits to their credit now than
they had when charters were much low
er than they are. The expenses of fun
igation and quarantine here, and then
the same thing at the other end on re-
turning, together with delay in quar-
antine, add to the cost of voyages SC
much that profits are heavily slashed
The rise in charter rates is partly due
however, to a general increase all along
the line. Freight rates all over the
world have advanced and in San Fran
cisco they are said to be higher than
they have been before during the past
fifteen years.
