THE MYSTERY OF A STRANGE
SIGNAL.
Ship Masters Surprised by a Message
That Didn't Seem to Give the Proper
Sentiments.

Since the French cruiser Protet
steamed out of the harbor yesterday
morning the water front has been dis
cussing the strange signals which she
flung to the breeze as a last message
to Honolulu. There was no one i'm the
harbor signalling to the Frenchman,
but he ran up a signal on which a
number of captains turned their
glasses. Captain Anderson of the
Charles r. Moody looked through his
glasses and read 1T is better now" The
captain was naturally a bit surprised
at this sort of farewell and he looked
again and then turned to his Interna-
tional code-boo to see If he had made
an error, but there it was: 1T is better
now" The report soon spread around
the front and there were all sorts of
ideas as to the Frenchman's meaning
The question is still being argued today
The explanation is supposed to be
that Captain De rEsplinay was using
a French code and didn't mean what
his colors said in the language of the
International code. His signals were
not read at the naval station nol
were they answered. A war vessels
code is usually private, though in or
dinary signalling the Internationa
code, carried by all merchantmen, Is
sometimes employed, especially II
such a case as the departure yester-
| day. The masters of merchantmen
naturally thought that the captain o
the Protet was sending some graceful
polite, French farewell sentiment al
he headed his vessel away from th'
islands and dropped pilot McCauley
and they were naturally astonishe'
to read 1T is better now" AS a part
ing sentiment this didn't seem to fl
the bill.
The French war vessel did a lot o
mysterious signalling while she was il
the harbor, with no one answering, ap
parently. Last Monday those at tn
naval station and in the harbo
watched her putting up signals till tn
watchers grew dizzy following the sue
cession of colors. 1t was either prac
tice or there was someone inland VIII
was reading the messages, and proba
bly, someone on shore yesterday un
derstood the message which wonderin
mariners read "It is better now"

FIFTY EXTRA OFFICERS
POLICE DEPARTMENT Is WELL
EQUIPPED.
Big Company Secretly Trained for an
Emergency-May Now be Use for
Them-Capt. Parker Commanding.

High Sheriff Brown is better fixed
for handling strikes and the like i'm the
Islands than many people have imagin-
ed. For over a month Captain Robert
Parker has been training fifty good,
extra men for just such an emergency
as may come up at any time.
IL was i'm April that Mr. Brown asked
Captain Parker to enlist the men and to
put them through a special course Of
training, 1t was understood that they
were not to be on pay unless called
into active service, when they would
be regularly commissioned The force
would stand permanently as an auxll-
iary one, something like the old Citi-
zens' Guard
Captain Parker set about 10 organize
the force, and i'm place of fifty was
offered the services of nearly 200 good
men. He therefore had the pick of a
large number for his company. The
men selected We're chiefly eXpolice-
men who had served considerable
terms on the force and had retired
honorably. They We're all enthusiastic
in the prospect of being able to rally
to the assistance of the department in
case of emergency.
At first meetings were held regular
ly every Tuesday evening in the Dis
! triCt court room. There the men were
/ instructed in the law and in police reg
ulations. Then the club was taken up
and detailed information given i'm re-
gard to 1t. Finally came Springfield
rifles and drill. In a short time the old
| policemen had regained their former
! knowledge of details and prowess in
handling weapons.
! 1t need not be surprising if con-
siderable force of police is called at any
| time to some part of the islands to
settle labor troubles. In such a case
| their places on the force would be filled
Immediately from the auxiliary COM
pany. AS the new men are subject to
| call ii would not take an hour to make
the change and have the auXiliaries in
the watches ready for business.
! 1t is expected that when High Sheriff
Brown returns tomorrow he will ar
range for uniforms for the auXiliaries.

SMALL BLAZE ON THE WHARF
THIS AFTERNOON.
Saltpeter Bags with Coal in Them
Give Chief Hunt a Small Job-Caused
by Cigarette.

About a hundred bags of coal on fire
on the coal wharf at one o'clock to-
day caused an alarm and attracted
large crowd to the waterfront. The
coal was from the bark Big Bonanza,
and was in bags that had formerly held
saltpeter. The fire spread among the
bags very rapidly and the coal began
to catch fire and threaten to burn the
wharf and the Big Bonanza.
The fire department made a noisy
trip down Fort street, followed by the
usual procession of wheelmen and
sprinters. The engine got to the wharf
before It had steam up and there was
a wait while it got ready to pump
water on to the smoking coal heap.
There was a large volume of smoke
and the crowd anticipated an exciting
battle with fire, but there was no hard
work for the laddies. A stream of wa
ter soon soaked the bags and as the
coal had hardly begun to burn it only
needed q little sprinkling.
The fire was caused by cigarette
smoking by workman who enjoyed
a smoke after lunch on one of the
bags. A. spark soon spread beyond
control among the saltpeter bags
There was some delay in getting the
firemen there, owing to the fact that
the message was first sent to the
wrong place.

THE YACHT PRIZES.
A Prospective Racer Makes Criti'
cisns.

EDITOR STAR: The Fourth of July
committees prizes for the yacht-racers
are rather small in proportion to the
amount of money at the disposal of the
committee, as we'll as to the actual
cost of getting a yacht ready for rae
ing. If the board is to offer prizes at
all, why not offer enough to make win
ing them an object? AS an example,
the prize for the third class yachts is
$40, while some of the owners of yachts
have spent from $3.50 to $40O on their
vessels.
In the opinion of the writer and
many other yachtsmen the committee
makes a mistake in Offering money
prizes at all for the races. The own
ers of the yachts would have much
more pride in getting cups or other
trophies which might be souvenirs of
the occasion, than in drawing a paltry
500. The sport of racing is enough to
make them turn out, but it is not add
ed to much by an offer of small cash
prizes by the Fourth of July commit
tee. The committee has about 5000 ano
there is to be no ball. Why should
there be such small dolings out for the
yachts? "

VIII be Presented this Evening

1t is desired by those in the Neill en-
gagement at the opera house that the
announcement be made that Bergers
orchestra cannot be at the play this

mencement Exercises at Oahu College.
Lord Chumley" the delightful come
dy which was made so successful by
f. H. Sothern, will be presented in
this city by the Neill Company this eve
ming at the opera house. 1t is from the
pens of Henry c. De Mile and David
Belasco, the latter whose more recent
successes of "The Heart of Maryland
and "Zaza" in which Mrs. Leslie Carter
has gained an international triumph
are we'll known. Like all of the refined
plays by Belasco and De Mile, Lord
Chumley" is thoroughly interesting and
often intense. In this play James
Neil as the drawing, nonchalant
Chumley is said to give another OF
those delightful portrayals for which he
is noted In Lord Chumley' Miss
Edythe Chapman appears as Eleanor.

HILO,S BIG TIME.

Just what Hllo will do with its big
Fourth of July crowd it is hard to tell
Honolulu visitors will be all right, be-
cause they have engaged accommoda-
tions ahead; but the second city eX-
poets thousands of people from its owr
island and from Maui. and will doubt
less have them. There is but one regu-
lar hotel there. but citizens are throw
ing their homes open.
The season will prove of advantage In
that it will test Hilo's capacity for fu-
ture events. and may lead to the estab-
lishment of more extensive hotel ac-
commodations.

AN IMPORTANT DUTY.

Life insurance is getting more and
more regarded as a duty which no man
with an adequate sense of his own re-
sponsibility can afford to shirk. To
take out a policy in a good life insur-
ance company like the Provident Mu-
tual is to capitalize ones earning pow
er. and thus in a way to secure the
community against the loss of that
earning power. I. r. Burns is the resi-
dent manager of the Provident

MORE PROMISES.

1t is stated that one of the Indepen-

telling the natives that if he is elected
he will vote large sums for each of
the Hawaiians arrested in connection
with the insurrection of 1895. So far as
can be learned forty acres and a mule"
have not yet been promised.

LIGHT WINE LICENSES.

The policy of the Governor with res
pect to light wine and beer licenses is
to grant such wherever requested by
reputable people. The law fixes the
maximum number for each district. If
the present policy is carried out, as 1t
doubtless will be. 1t will mean more
of these saloons than ever before.

few trees but coming out without a
scratch. The rig was coming in Mer-

ards the horse became frisky and
dashed toward the site of the old fire
house. He was pulled down however,
and turned back into the thoroughfare.
