HAWAII COAST IS RISING
OR AT LEAST THE WATER Is
SHOALING.
One Theory is That the Coral is Build
ing up, and that the Konas Wash in
Black Sand.

The Island of Hawaii on the Hawai-
hae side is not sinking according to the
report of those who live there. On the
contrary, common report says that it
is rising no less than foot year. that
the shore line is constantly changing.
and the distance at which steamers
must anchor is rapidly becoming far
ther from shore.
The rise is said by some to have
been the cause of the recent wreck of
the steamer Upolu, which struck a
rock at low tide, along the Hawaii
coast, while going over her ordinary
course, which her sailors declared she
mad passed over many times The tide
was low at the time, and investigation
showed that the little steamer could
have passed over anyhow, at high tide,
but 1T is stated that a short time before
she was wrecked, she might have pass
er over at low tide either

recently visited Kawaihae, and he saws
that the residents declare that the coast
| is rapidly rising. "Soundings have beer
made from time to time" said BOYD,
and 1T has been found that the depth
| of the water close to shore is fast de-
creasing. Steamers that call at Ka-
| Walhae have to constantly change their
anchorage farther out. The reason for
not constructing a good landing at Ka-
Walhae Is stated to be this fact, for the
landlnS would need constant changing -
Masters who have touched at Hawai-
nae also have noticed the rise in the
! ocean bed. This change has been go
ing on for years, no doubt but it has
been especially noticeable during the
last two years.

DALTON OF OAHU swORE Ar
COPTIC'S MASTER.
Captain Rinder Reported Captain Dali
ton to DR.. Cofer With Result That
He Lost His Job.

Captain Rinder of the steamship
COptic, and Captain Dalton of the
quarantine launch Oahu, hooked up
yesterday afternoon. The result was
that Captain Dalton Of the Oahu found
himself without a berth this morning.
The trouble arose over a misunder-
standing.
The quarantine launch as taken out
yesterday to the Coptic and met the
liner just Waikiki of the spar buoy.
Captain Dalton brought the launch
around the stern Of the steamship 50
that DIR. Barenholdt, the boarding Off
GER could reach the ladder hanging
over the side of the Coptic Just after
the launch had gotten around the stern
of the vessel the Coptic started to back.
The suction caused by the propeller OF
the bio vessel started the water rush
ing back toward the stern and Captain
Dalton found his little cookie shell of a
launch carried along with the rush.
What the are you doing?" he
shouted to Captain Kinder who was on
the bridge of the Coptic with Captain
McCauley, the pilot.
who are you talking to?" demanded
Captain Rinder.
"Why I'm talking to yOu,-you,"
exclaimed Dalton, as his launch was
carried still further toward the STERN
No further reply was made by Cap
tain Kinder and the -Vessel was stop
ped and the launch was able to come
alongside and doctor board the big ves-
sci.
Captain Rinder renorted the matter
to DIR. Cofer, the quarantine officer
here. AS the result of the complaint
made on behalf of Captain Rinder, Cap
tain Dalton was notified this morning
that his services were no longer requir-
ed in the government launch.
Captain Dalton says that he thinks
he should have at least. been given an
opportunity of defendin~ himself be-
fore DR.. Cofer.
Dalton is one of the most experienced
of the island seamen and as soon as
he can take his examination and re
reive his license he will probably have
no difficulty in securing berth on one
of the island steamers.

NEW STEAMSHIP TRUST
WILDERS' AND INTER ISLAND
MAY UNITE.
Object is to Reduce Expenses and In
crease Profits-Stockholder Discus
ing the Matter.

There is a movement on foot for the
consolidation of the Wilder Steamship
Company and the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company. AS yet tie move
has not progressed farther than dis
cussion among the stockholders, but
matters today seem to be shaping
themselves so as to make consolidation
practicable. OF the matter President
Mclean of the l. 1. S. N. Company
said this morning:
mo official cognizance has yet been
taken by the directorate of our COM
pany of the movement. The stock
holders of both companies are talking
the matter over, but 1 am sure L cannot
say how it will come out"
The business of the islands is divided
between the two companies. For in
stance the L. 1. S. N Company has the
entire business of Kauai while the
Wilder Company alone visits Hilo. The
calculation of stockholders seems to be
that by combining, expenses will be
saved, the business can be more easily
handled and the dividends will be
larger.
President Wight of the Wilder Steam
ship Company, says: "The project in a
nutshell is one of devising a means for
making some money. Neither steam
ship company is 0aying anything.
Both are giving one dollar for another
We feel that something must be done
Both companies are in the same boat
and feel the same way. That is about
all there is to it. If some better ar
rangement than consolidation is evolv-
ed out of the present discussion, it
may be taken up. But if not consoli-
dation will be necessary; for, as L said
before, something must be done"
President S. G.. Wilder of Wilder &
Company. confirmed the above state
ments. He said that while consolida-
tion had not been discussed by the di.
rectors it had been talked of among
stockholders of both companies and
might come about.
John Ena agreed with Mr.. Wight
that something must be done to place
the companies on a payir~ basis. He
had a long conference with Mr.. Wight
this morning and both were agreed
that consolidation or some very close
understanding was necessary.

GOING TO MANILA.

c. Pollitz, a nephew of Ed. Pollitz
and a former employe of the First Ma
tional bank passed through on the
Coptic on his way to Manila where he
will locate. The story got around that
he was going there to enlist Filipino
laborers for the cane fields Before
leaving the mainland he was requested
by his uncle to look around and see
what the chances were of getting Fill
pinos to come to Hawaii in case the
government would permit them to come
That is the extent of his labor mission
The Planters Association has nothing
whatever to do with the matter.

1t was claimed that the court had no
jurisdiction to order Pahia to make
the deed, but Gear held that the prop
erty was in the courts jurisdiction and
under the courts care, and that Pahia
was likewise within jurisdiction. Attor-
ney Robertson said he would appeal.
Davis said he had never heard tell of
an appeal against the dismissal of a

GRAND JURY REPORTS

The Grand Jury made a partial re-
port to Judge Gear this morning. The
report was not made public, as 1t con-
tains references to indictments that are
under discussion in the jury room. 1t
was made for the purpose of satisfying
the Court as to the matter of taking up
the habeas corpus cases, Gear having
announced that he would discharge the
Grand Jury at once, if the Attorney
General did not bring those cases up.
The jury reported that it had investi-
gated the matter, as instructed by the
court, and had found that it was the in
tention of the Attorney Generals de-
partment to present the habeas cor
pus cases next Monday. Deputy Attor-
ney General Cathcart will handle the
cases.
In the meantime the Grand Jury is
atA"ork upon some new cases, and has
several indictments in prospect. The
report made this morning was read by
Judge Gear ana declared satisfactory"
and it was returned to the jury to be
kept secret.
Witnesses are being summoned who
were present at the Kahuku riot of
over two years ago, to furnish testi-
mony against the three Japs released
from sentences for murder and man
slaughter. The old witnesses in the
Goto, All Oe, and Hamilton cases are
also being searched for. They will have
to tell their stories over again to the
Grand Jury and again in court if indlct-
ments are found.
Great difficulty is anticipated in Sc
curing such accurate recollections as
are necessary in a criminal trial and
the prosecution works under much dis
| advantage.
This morning the jury had under in
vestigation the case of Chung Sing, the
| alleged chicken thief who was shot
the night before last. A Chinese basket
full of live chickens was taken into the
jury room as evidence.

FEDERAL PRISONERS.
Question of Communication is Still Fur

In a letter to acting United States
District Attorney ]. j. Dunno, F. j.
Lowrey, chairman of the board of
prison inspectors thanks Mr.. Dunno
for his opinion in regard to good time
credit and communication of sentence o.
United States prisoners confined in
Oahu Jail. OF the reasons for asking
such an opinion, Mr.. Lowrey says
1.-THE Board of Prison Inspectors
merely wished instructions from your
department as to whether Communication
authorized by the laws of this Terri
tory should be P~Nlied to prisoners
serving sentences imposed by the Fede-
raj Court.
Information was sought on this
point some time ago by the warden
of Oahu Jail, and he was referred to
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, section $3.50.
while this wording. it seemed to the
board, would bring the Federal prison.
ers under the laws of the Territory re-
lating to combinations, the members
of the board did not care to assume any
responsibility in the matter, and ac-
cordingly, I asked you for instructions
"There is no disposition to enter into
any discussion on the question, and the
board will be guided by the opinion
rendered by you, unless same should
be modified"
Mr.. Dunno today acknowledged the
receipt of this letter, and says:
At am in receipt of yours of August
8, 1901, directing my attention to u. S.
r. S. Section $3.50, and in Response
thereto, have the honor to point out
that in any discussion of the law of
Communication, this section is irrelevant.
A moments reflection will satisfy you'
that the scope of this section is limited
to internal discipline and treatment
the section has nothing whatever to do
with "cOmmuta tiOn "
