THE TERRITORY is VERY SLOW
PAY,
Only Warrants for Salaries Being Paid
Now and These Will Soon Have to
Wait

Warrants to the amount of $4,000
have been registered" in the treasur-
er's office, and the amount is being
rapidly increased. At the present time
only warrants for salaries and payrolls
are being cashed, those for supplies end
other evnenses being registered to
await receipts of cash.
1t is estir1ated that in about two
months the salary warrants will be in
about the same fix as the warrant for
supplies, as the available cash will give
out. By that time there will be a
large sum in registered warrants, and
the treasury will have to wait for No
vember taxes to get more money
The government employees will prob
ably find themselves on a scrip basis
for several months before the new
taxes come in. They will have good
treasury warrants, but the warrants
will not be cash and the only thinU
for some of them to do will be to dis
count them as for cash, as best they
can. The government will be broke,
but 1T will manage to keep in busi-
ness.
Firms who deal with the government
from now on must expect the territory
to be very tardy debtor. They will
be given warrants that can only be
registered to await their turns.
The scrip" proposition may cost
some of the city's employees bit
of their salaries. They will be able,
it is thought, to negotiate warrants
on the treasury but will probably have
to stand a slight discount.
If the $1S0,000 or 100000 which was
in the postal savings bank deposited to
insure the price of return tickets for
imported contract Chinese laborers
shall be found available for treasury
use the "scrin basis for salaries it is
said can probably be avoided. There
are many who claim that this money is
available; that so long as the govern
ment stands ready to make good the
purpose for which the money was depo-
sited, there is no reason for keeping the
actual coin out of circulation as spe-
cial deposit. When it was in the postal
savings bank it is said it was actual
special deposit, but that the actual
coin deposited for this purpose was
paid out in the course of business

SIERRA TOOK BIG CROWD
VESSEL CROWDED WITH PASSEN.
GERS AND FRIENDS.
Girl-Graduates Sang Farewell to One
of Their Teachers Aboard Vessel.
Left About 1 O'clock.

When the Sierra swung out into the
stream this afternoon bound for the
Coast she carried one of the biggest
lists of passengers that has left here
in many months, 10 passengers having
Joined her here. All of her first and
second class cabins were taken and the
steerage was practically full up as
well.
The scene at the Oceanic wharf for
two hours before the vessel departed
was one of excitement and brought to
mind the glory of the days when the
Australia was running here.
The crowd began to board the steam
er at IL o'clock. Those who had been
fortunate enough to secure cabins were
looking for their quarters while their
friends went to bid them farewell. TIL
decks of the vessel were soon filled
while the dock was soon crowded with
people searching for departing friends
Captain Berger and the government
band appeared shortly after II o'clock
to play the vessel away. 1t had been
first announced that the Sierra would
leave at noon but owing to the rush of
freight and baggage the departure was
postponed until l o'clock.
very pretty incident occurred while
the vessel was waiting to leave. The
girl-graduates of the Kamehameha
school for this year, attired in white
dresses and wearing yellow leis, went
to the edge of the wharf and sang q
number of natives songs in aloha tc
Miss N b. Forsythe, one of theiI
teachers who was leaving for a vaca-
tion. The voices of the young women
sounded very sweetly and the music
was greatly enjoyed by the crowd.

ANNEXATION TALK.

Talk of the alleged scheme to en-
courage alI agitation for the annexa-
ton of Hawaii to California has held
the boards today, drowning other
street topics. A great deal of the talk
seems to be mere conjecture, however,
no one here having any positive infor-
nation as to whether Judge Humph-
reys went to California for that pur-
pose or not, although members of the
Home Rule party are still confident.
Senator Bill White has decided to try
to table the concurrent resolution in
the Senate. He agrees with Represen-
tative Dickey that the agitation is be-
ing engineered by a few. tLat the peo-
pie are not favorable to annexation
and that there is no danger of it's 60
ing through without their consent.

Observation-Disclosures
REGISTERED MAIL LOSSES BY
THE RIO,
The Proof of Loss Already Filed is Not
Sufficient to Secure the Indemnity
Uncle Sam Promises.

Another hurdle has been found in
the way of those people who lost regis
tered packages or letters when the Rio
went down, and who have been sup
posing that they would be reimbursed
by the government for the loss of each
registered enclosure up to So
Such losers must make formal de-
mand on Uncle Sam, as well as file the
proof of claim which has already been
filed in a great many cases. And this
formal demand must be made within
six months of the time the loss oc-
Cured.
Almost ever since the Honolulu post
office was taken over by the United
States Post Office Department, the fol-
lowing notice has been posted conspi-
cuously in one or more places about
the post office:
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Do not send money in the ordinary
mail. Valuable mail matter of every
class should be registered to insure its
safe transmission. and proper delivery
An indemnity for it's value not exceed
ing ten dollars will be paid if a register
ed letter mailed at and addressed to a
u. S. post office is lost in the mails. The
registry fee is cents, in addition tC
postage. Apply at registry window
When the Rio was lost people who
had sent registered enclosures by her
remembered this notice and went to
the post office to see about it. They
were assured that it was so, that the
notice meant what it said, and each one
was given a blank from to fill up to
make the proof of loss When these
| were filled up and filed with the postal
officials it was supposed that it was
| only a question of time when they
would get a warrant on the United
States treasury for what money is
coming to them,
But now it turns out that this proof
of loss will not get the money. There
must be a formal demand in addition tc
this proof of loss. 1t is explained that
this proof of loss goes to one depart
ment of the post office system to trace
up the alleged loss to see if it really
occurred, While the formal demand goes
| to another department and is a part
of the voucher for the disbursement il
the loss is ever paid. This formal de-
mand is to be made on a blank fur
nished by the post Office department fol
that purpose, and must be filed within
six months of the time of the loss. Ir
this case the loss happened February 2!
so that the time will expire August %
Postmaster Oat said he was not
aware of this peculiar provision of tho
law until he discovered it by accident
recently, as the only blanks sent to
this postoffice We're the blanks for proof
of loss; none of the blanks for forma
demand having yet been received.

under the terms of a secret convention
with China France will be able to pro-
tect the proposed new railway from
Ionquirp into Yunnan with French
troops exactly as Russia does in Man

Some time ago there was trouble" on
the Colorado & Southern railroad with
the telegraphers. Those workmen were
not receiving as high pay as the natur.,
Of their services demanded. AS a COLI
sequence the telegraphers went on 4
strike. The emissaries of the company
prevented a sympathetic strike on the
part of the engineers. firemen, trainmen
and conductors, by holding out to them
the value OF their present position or
the road. That is to say, the men who
went on strike would simply lose their
line of promotion, and those men who
were secured to fill their places would
have first preference in all cases of pro-
motion. This fetched" the BOYS as
many Of them had worked for years to
reach the point Of service that they
were then in. Now, however, the Colo
RADIO & Southern is about to be absorb
ed by the Santa Fe system, and 10 and
behold. those very fine fellows who
refused to help their fellow workme n
when in trouble have now lost their
line Of preferment for good and all, be-
cause they will be regarded by tn;
Santa Ee management as extra" men
THUS tho very mana cement whom thu
railroad men helped out Of pinch have
turned square around and done the
very thing TO them that they tried tc
ayiod by refusing to help the needy
telesraphers. In few years even the
