HAVE LOCATED CAPT. MERRY.

Captain Merry has at last been locat-
ed or at least approximately located.
By letters which were received here
from him it was ascertained that he
had left Guam and should now be in
San Francisco. Captain Merry wrote
to his nephew Arthur L. Merry the
chief clerk of the naval station here
that he expected to leave Guam for
Manila about March goth By another
letter which came by the last mail
Captain Merry had reached Manila
April 9th and expected to take the first
transport to San Francisco. AS the
transports are leaving at very frequent
intervals it is more than probable that
he is now in San Francisco. He will
probably come here about the first part
of June.

CAPTAIN RINDER OF CoPTIC SAYS
THAT IT WAS.
Hair Splitting Question of Marine
Etiquette-Fly Japanese Flag on
Foremost When Entering Port

When the steamship Coptic came into
port yesterday afternoon the crowd of
people on the Pacific Mail dock rubbed
their eyes and took a second look at
the vessel. According to the signals
that We're flying from the foremast the
sovereignty of the Hawaiian Islands
had suddenly changed and instead of
this being Under American rule the
Little Brown Men of Japan were the
rulers. Inquiry from the vessel re-
assured the people however that Jap
an had not issued proclamation, un-
beknown to the balance of the world,
asserting ownership over these islands
but the Paradise of the Pacific was still
under the guardianship of Uncle Sam.
The cause of the trouble was due to
the Coptic displaying the Japanese flag
at the foremast Captain Rinder says
that that is the correct form. Water
Front sticklers for etiquette declare
that he was in error According to ma
rine custom, they assert a vessel dis
plays at her foremast the flag of des-
tnation. Had this been observed by
the Coptic she would have flown the
American flag as this place and San
Francisco are American ports. The
Oceanic vessels going to the Colonies
display the British flag when they
enter this port. This is done however
because Honolulu is merely a way port
while the Colonies are the place of des-
tination.
Captain Rinder says that it is right
to display the flag of the country from
which he comes. Inasmuch as Yoko-
hama was the last port whence he came
he had the Japanese flag flying from
the masthead Today he leaves this
! port for San Francisco and his vesse
| flies the American flag as this is ar
! American port.

WILCOX OPPOSES Change
DOLE is BEST LOCAL MAN FOR
GOVERNOR.
Will Not Recommend Change to Nc
Kinley-If Change is Made Will Rec
ommend an Eastern Man.

Robert Wilcox denies that he will
make any recommendation to Presi-
dent Mckinley in regard to the Cover
nor of the Territory. He also denies
report in an afternoon paper of yester-
day to the effect that he would sup
pert the name of Sam. Parker for the
office.
81 am not taking part in the squab-
ble' states the Delegate. Il am going
to California to greet President McKin-
ley. If 1 have an opportunity l viii
talk to him about the recent session of
the Legislature.
1T was the intention originally, I be-
lieve, to send the resolutions condemn
ing the Governor by me. l do not be-
lieve in these resolutions, and | under
stand the party is now considering
sending a committee to present the re-
solutions to the President.
Il agree with DR.. Russell in his policy
of let well enough alone Mr.. Dole
is dominated by the sugar planters. In
fact, the sugar planters are the gov
ernment. But how are you going to
better the situation? Sam Parker is
under the thumb of the sugar planters,
and show me a man of capability in
the country who is not?
"In other words, | do not believe there
thren, while they beat the tom-toms
is in this country a man of brains that
is not 50 bound up to the sugar plan
ters that he will not do. If change
is to be made, l should prefer seeing a
stranger go in as Governor. If Presi-
dent Mckinley should ask my advice
on the point, l should recommend
sending someone from the extreme
east. How long the stranger could
stay here before getting into the
clutches OF the sugar planters is some
thing l do not know.
81 expect to leave here by the Mari
posa on the 8th."
In speaking of recommending man
from the east it looks as if Wilcox
meant Sewall, inasmuch as the Organic
Act prescribes that the governor shall
be citizen of the Territory of Hawaii
and Sewall is the only man from the
extreme" east, who claims to be a
citizen of Hawaii. Still Sewall is reput-
ed to be considerably interested in su-
gar.
There are those who claim to see in
this attitude of WilcoX's a part of the
scheme of the Sewall men to get Sewall
appointed. According to these, Wilcox
draws away from his Home Rule bre-
thren, while they beat the tom-toms
and the hula drums and stampede Pres
ident Mckinley into removing Dole
Then Wilcox, unidentified with this cla-
NOR, will step in and recommend some
one from the extreme east"

CANNOT COMPARE MITH RRITIsH

coal has been checked, according to a
report from Consul Thackara at Havre.
He answers many inquiries from coal
dealers here by the statement that
American steam coal run of the mine,
alongside the wharf at Havre is quot
ed at $3.50 per ton, while British coal
ranges from 02.Sl to S4.3S, the latter
very best quality of picked coal There
are also discounts on these English
rates, and unless the American export
er can solve the problem of securing
cheap freight rates his coal, though
delivered on board more cheaply than
the British coal, cannot compete in
Europe.

the amount of the policy desired ana
the form of policy for which they have
preference to /. r.. Burns, the local
manager of the Provident Savings. No

greater variety of attractive PROPOSE

kind, or for endowment or any other
form of policy embracing both invest
ment and protection.

A FRIGHTENED MULE.
Animal Severely Injured by a Lawn
mower.

The Kamehameha school grounds
We're the scene of a bad runaway, al
most resulting in the death of a mule,
this morning. The animal was hltched
to lawnmower and became frighten-
ed at the machine. 1t ran several hun
dred yards and then fell with the lawn
mower behind it and kicked until both
its hind feet We're stuck in the
machinery.
The animals hind legs were severely
cut before they could be loosened. One
shoe was torn off, and by the time the
mule was released quite pool of blood
was where it had fallen. The lawn
mower was badly smashed and had to
be taken to pieces before the animal
could be released.

BIG FISH BUSINESS.
The Fishmarket Sells 10000 Fish in
one Week.

Last week vas the biggest week at
the fishmarket for some years past.
During the week no less than 10000
fish were brought into the market and
sold. This is about $4,000 fish per day
and is a high record for a town of Ho-
nolulu's size even If some of the fish
are small.
The total figures include all fish, large
and small, and this accounts in part
for the enormous figures. Inspector
Berndt counts and keeps a record Of
every fish that is brought into the mar
ket.
One current report about town is that
the fish business has been hurt by the
smallpox scare, as the fish are many
of them caught where the infected ves-
sells lay in quarantine and may be sup
posed to have fed upon stuff thrown
away from the vessels. The figures,
however, show that there is nothing in
the report

NAMING AND NUMBERING.
New Street Laws Give Honolulu a
Modern System.

The result accomplished by Home
Rule members of the house is less in
reality even than the records seem to
show. In fact it appears that the two
thirds majority of the house enacted
only one piece of legislation and that
was the female dog bill.
The other laws that show on the re-
cord as having come from the Home
Rule side the law for naming streets
and the law for numbering buildings i'm
Honolulu, We're framed by Dickey and
others.
The two acts passed and signed to
provide for naming of streets and num-
bering of buildings are based upon sim
liar laws elsewhere, and will give Ho-
nOlulu a complete modern system of
naming and numbering streets Tho
laws We're so drawn that the work al
ready done i'm the way Of numbering
will fit in the new system.
