"TRIP 70 san FRANCISCO
HOUSE VOTES DOWN A SENATE
RESOLUTION.
Evening Session Given over to Discus
sion of Taxation-Relief for the Duke
of Cornwall.

The afternoon session of the House
yesterday was enlivened by discussion
of the senate concurrent resolution to
send a commission of ten members to
San Francisco, to greet President Nc
Kinley and tell him Hawaii is all right
and hopes he is the same. The resolu-
ton expresses the hope that the presi-
dents trip will be pleasant if not pro-
titable" and some of the lawmakers
wondered what it meant.
Hoogs wanted to know if the resolu-
ton was a joke and was informed by
the chair that it was a serious matter,
the resolution having passed the senate.
The member from Honolulu then pro-
posed to bring in a bill for $4,000 for
expenses and suggested that the whole
house make the trip, excepting Kaniho
and Dickey, who opposed the resolu-
ton.
Emmeluth wanted to know what ten
members were the ones to go, Kumulae
having suggested that ten house men,
bers make the trip. Kumulae smiled
modeStly.
Hoogs brought in a concurrent reso-
luton for the benefit of his grace Duke
of Cornwall. 1t appears that his grace
is visiting in the colonies and the reso-
luton stated that as he might be broke
by the time he gets to Hawaii an
appropriation should be made.
After voting down Kumulae's amend
ment to have ten house members make
the trip and drop in on Mckinley to-
gether with five senator's, making a
pleasant little calling party of fifteen
who could each assure the national
executive that Hawaii was all right
and hoped he was, the house voted
down the whole resolution by 19 to s.
Thus president McKinleys chances OF
every receiving the happy call from the
fifteen, are small.
The bill reorganizing the board OF
health, and the soda water bottle bill
passed third reading.
Mossman showed up in beautiful
evening dress al the night session, as il
to show how he would look telling Nc.
Kinley that Hawaii was all right. The
sleepy members had visions of fifteer
Mossmans, in long black coats, giving
the glad hand to the executive and hop.
ing he was all right, as Hawaii was
but the beautiful dreams were con
stantly disturbed by Makekau points o
order.
House bill number rs, providing a new
taxation system, took up most of the
evening session. 1t was on second
reading. A clause taxing employers o.
labor IS for each male, over two, EN-
ployed, was stricken out. The bill
was still on second reading at the houl
of adjournment.

CAN FIND CAPT. MERRY
NAVY DEPARTMENT is MAKING
INQUIRIES FOR HIM.
Wired Commander Winslow of Solace
For Information of Missing officers
ereabouts-May Be on the Coast.

Captain Merry, the commander of the
local naval station is lost For the last
month his friends here have been trying
to get some trace of him but without
success. Now the navy department is
trying to get in touch with the gallant
officer but according to the last ad-
vices no trace had been secured of him.
The cause of the Captain getting lost
in the shuttle is due to the infrequent
steamship communication between
Guam and the outside world.
The last advices received here from
Captain Merry stated that he expected
to complete his work on Guam and
leave for San Francisco about the mid
die or the latter part of March. Owing
to the remote location of Guam and the
impOssibility of securing prompt COM
municatiOn with the outside world,
Captain Merry found that he would be
unable to finish the report of his work
on the island, and it would be necessary
for him to go to San Francisco to as
certain some important information re-
garding the probable. cost of making the
various improvements contemplated by
the government. Before furnishing the
department with these estimates he
first has to secure an idea of the mar
ket quotations of the materials to be
used, and as il was not possible to learn
this while at Guam he decided to go to
the Coast.
Captain Merry expected to take the
transport Rosecrans which stopped at
Guam the latter part of March but as
that vessel reached San Francisco on
the 18th without his name appearing in
the passenger list it is probable that
he could not find accommodation for him
self and corps of clerks so had to post
pone his departure.
Two transports touch at Guam from
San Francisco and two from Manila,
every month it would not be a
surprising occurrence if Captain
Merry had boarded one of those
bound to the Mainland and miss
ed much of the various mail which has
been sent to him at Guam. 1t takes
about 80 days to make the trip from
Guam to San Francisco and he could
readily get out of touch with cores
pondents here and on the Mainland.
Evidently Captain Merry has left
Guam or at least notified the navy de-
partment that he intended doing so,
some weeks ago. Just before the So
lace left San Francisco, Captain Wins
low the commander received a dispatch
from the navy department making in-
quiries for the missing officer. Captain
Winslow was asked if he knew where
Captain Merry was or had heard any
| thing of him. Captain Winslow was
| unable to throw any light upon the
matter and so advised the department
Judging from this the department S
orders have miscarried and the au-
thoritles at Washington are anxious to
get trace of the missing officer. A num-
ber of transports are due in San Fran
cisco from Manila within the next few
days and it is thought that Captain
| Merry is aboard one of them. Advices
from the Coast next week will probably
tell of his safe arrival in San Fran
| cisco.

SOLACE COMES WITH MAIL
TWO DAYS LATER NEWS AND
NEWSPAPER FILES.
Seven Recruits Brought for the Tug
roquois-Number of Men Going Out
to the Asiatic Station.

The navy ship Solace, Captain Wins
low, arrived this morning from San
Francisco with two days later mail and
newspaper files. The vessel had an
uneventful trip down. She is en- route
to Manila via Guam.
The vessel docked at naval wharf
No. 1. She has a quantity of suppues
for this place including a hoisting en-
gine for the naval station. She will
take $50 tons of coal aboard for Manila
but in as much as will not begin coal
ing until Monday the vessel is not eX-
pected to get away until Thursday.
On the boat are 175 men who will be
transferred from the vessel to positions
on other boats of the Asiatic squadron.
Fourteen lieutenants have also been
sent out to be assigned to places with
the same fleet Lieutenant r. M. Os-
born is en- route for duty at Guam
Seven assistant paymasters also are
going out to the Asiatic station and
there are several surgeons, civilians
and independent sailors aboard who
will be assigned to positions after
reaching Manila.
Among the passengers for this port
are Paymaster j. S. Phillips, wife and
daughter. Paymaster's Clerk Fredrick
K. Hunt is also to stop off here with
Paymaster Phillips who exchanges
places with Paymaster Hall of this
place. Mr.. Hunt is accompanied by his
wife. Seven recruits for the govern
ment tug Iroquois were also brought by
the Solace.
The arrival of the vessel was watched
by a big crowd and the native diving
boys reaped quite a harvest as the Off
GERS were quite liberal in tossing nickels
in the water.
Captain Winslow took his famous
little dog out for a walk on the dock
soon after reachinp port.
The mail was placed on the tug Eler
and taken to the quarantine wharf
where it will be fumigated.

A HITCH!

EDITOR STAR: The Honorable
Governor Dole has on the 25th inst.
given the honorable Senate an eXecu-
tive notice that the present session of
the Legislature must come to end on
Tuesday next April 30th, because "the
expiration of this session by limitation
of time" falls on that day,
The House minutes shows that today
(April 27th) is the both day of the ses-
sion, it would take days more to make
so days as provided by Section 43 of
the Hawaii Territorial Act which
reads as follows:
THAT each session of the Legislature
shall continue not longer than sixty
days, excluding Sundays and hOli-
days"
Taking the Governors calculation of
time the 60 days end on April 3Oth and
that of the House would further ex-
tend that time to Friday, May 3rd
(and even to midnight of that day.
Which is right? There are two differ
ent calculations, that of the executive
and that of the Legislature. One says
the 60 days will be up on Tuesday
April 30th, the other retorts by saying
that our limitation of time falls on
May Bird, and not before
l should say here, that the 60 days

Three Commissioners Are to Constituba

The house met this morning with -
bills on it's order of the day for third
reading and 20 bills on second reading,
making As bills ON the order of the day.
OF these on third reading 4 were Senate
bills and on second reading there were
also only four senate bills.
The rush of business of the last few
days is fully on now and the members
have awakened to the fact that they
cannot afford to lose any time, but even
with the hardest work and constant
night sessions only few of the bills
can get through.
Most of the 40 house bills on second
and third reading in the House cannot
pass in the Senate if the session ends
next Tuesday. If that day is to end the
session the vast accumulation of print
ed acts" that is beginning to tax the
capacity of the honorable members

The bill to appropriate 81 10000 for

for a court to hear the claims was final

day, and if he approves it, it will be his
duty in five days to appoint three com

court. In addition to the appropriation
of million and half for the cleaims
an appropriation is made for expenses
of the court as follows:
Commissioners at SO per diem while
in session, $5,400; counsel for territory

butte the appropriation of $1,500, 900 for
fire claims over a period of three years.

TRANSPORT SERVICE PAU
POSTOFFICE RECEIVES UNwEL.
COME NEWS.
The Department at San Francisco
Sends Notice That Army Vessels
Hereafter Skip Honolulu

The postoffice authorities have been
notified by the superintendent of for
etgn mail service department at San
Francisco that no more mail will come
to Honolulu on transports for a time.
1t is stated in the letter of advice that
the transports bound for Manila will
go direct hereafter The Solace would
call at Honolulu, wrote the San Fran
cisco department, but the Ohio and
others after her would go direct.
No reason is given for the change,
which is one of great Importance to
Hawaii. 1t is thought that smallpox
quarantine might have had something
( to do with the order, and that while
the present need for quick service be-
tween San Francisco and Manila exists,
the war department takes the direct
route as likely to be the quickest. The
department is in considerable difficulty
to get transports to Manila in time to
bring back the discharged volunteers
as they should be brought.
The order deprives Honolulu of some
thing like fifty per cent of it's mail fa-
cilities from the Coast. There have
| been from two to five transports a
month from San Francisco for long
| past and that is about the number of
the regular mail liners. 1t is possible
that in the future some of the horse
transports may come this way and that
the old order may be re-established in
a few months.
The news of the change is as unwel-
come in the postoffice as it is to the
general public who are deprived of
steamer service that brought news and
mail at frequent intervals. To the em-
ployes under Postmaster Oat the drop
ping of the transport service means
that the mails will come in great ship
ments which will swamp the office at
[ intervals.

Government Announces It's Intention
All From the Loan Fund

LONDON, April 1S.-The exceptional
interest taken in this years budget
statement was evidenced by the crowd
ed condition of the House of Commons
when it reassembled today. The at
tendance of members was unusually
large, while the appearance Of the gal
leries testified to the deep interest of the
public in the fresh taxation proposals
required to meet the expenditure for
1901-02, which, according to a Parlia-
mentary paper issued this afternoon,
totals e1S7, 100000, inclusive of the war
charges, this being an increase Of G32
9Ol 900 for the year.
The national balance sheet for 10000
as shown by the same paper, stands as
follows: Revenue G130, ,3S50O0, eXpen-
ditures G1S3 592, 900; net deficit G53,
207 900.
Balfour, the Government leader, in
directly announced the Forthcoming
loan, saying he hoped to introduce a
resolution on the subject tonight if
possible. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, rose
at AIS y. m. amid rounds of cheers,
and commenced the budget statement
Turning to the present year, the
Chancellor of the EXchequer said that
the total expenditure was G167, 600, 900
On the existing basis it was estimated
that the revenue would be Al32, 255,OOO
leaving a deficit of about $4,000, 900
How is his deficit to be metz asked
Sir Michael. 81 will never be RESPONSE
BILE for the fatal policy of paying the
whole cost of the war out of loans with
out putting a reasonable amount on
the taxpayers of the day. The real diff
ficulty, however is not so much the
cost of the war in South Africa as the
operations in China, as they will in
crease our ordinary expenditures ever
if the war came to an end within three
or four months (this statement caused
cheering from the Irish members), OF
sooner than the honorable members
suppose"

1t is said that man who COM
mlts a great crime always leaves
traces of his movements, which
enables detectives to follow and
convict him, and the self-confessed
robber of the Sel5y Smelling
Works, III California, was no ex-
ception to the rule. He worked
alone, according to his own story,
and thus avoided the danger al
ways incident to having confed-
crates, but he did some very stupid
things. One was that he left his
cap in the tunnel through which
he carried out the gold, and this
gave the first clue to him. Arti-
cles used in digging the tunnel
and breaking into the gold vault
were also left lying about his
lodgings, where they helped to
fasten the guilt OH him, and in
this manner the detectives were
able to pile up so much proof
against him that when confronted
with it he broke down and con-
fessed. 1t was very ingenious
crime, but it carried it's Lwn de-
lection with it.
