SEA CAPTAIN TO BECOME 4
MANUFACTURER.
Captain Bird Surrenders Ship Hawaiian
Isles to Make Mats With Special
Invention Of His Own.

Probably the most sanguine passen-
gers who left today on the Peru for
san Francisco was an eX-captain. He
mad Just given up command of an ele-
giant four masted ship for the purpose
of operating a special patent of his
own on the market This individual
was Captain O. Bird formerly the mas
ter of the American ship Hawaiian
Isles
Captain Bird arrived here several
weeks ago from Newcastle with car
go of coal 1t will probably be his last
voyage on the poop deck for shortly
after his arrival Captain Mallett ar
rived to take command of the hand
some iron ship
While Captain Bird has been in COM
mand of one of the finest vessels afloat
he has not wasted his odd moments
but has devoted his time to the inven-
ton of a machine which he feels con-
fident will make him a millionaire.
This machine is a peculiar and ingeni-
Gus contrjrance for weaving mats.
Five years ago Captain Bird was as
well known here as he is today and
at that time he was busy trying to i'm
prove his mat weaving machine. Some
people said he was a crank. Others
took a more liberal view and predicted
that he would make a success Of the
thing. That his efforts have been re-
warded with success, he and his friends
are now confident.
There are many on the local water
front who have inspected the machine.
While all of them are not machinists
by any means, all of them declare that
the machine is a wonder and it is GER
tain to make him a wealthy man. The
machine is something after the style
of q sewing machine, they assert. and
it can weave a mat in ten minutes.
whereas the same mat could not be
woven by hand in less than several
hours.
Captain Bird proposes to organize a
company when he reaches the states
and start the manufacture of mats.
Some of his enthusiastic admirers de-
clare that he can make mats out of
pair of old oYeralls and a duck coat.
The machinery is now packed aboard
the Charles b. Kenney and win go to
San Francisco within a few days.
A large number of sea faring men
and brother captains of CAPTAIN Bird
We're on hand this morning att the Peru
to bid him good luck and aloha.

THE ONLY OBJECTIONS.

It thus appears that everybody in
terested in the case-the republican
leaders in the House and Senate, the
democratic leaders in the House and
Senate, the eminent counsel for the
importers and against the administra-
ton and against the importers-all of
these apparently differing gentlemen
seem to be pleased with the decision,
and unanimously I'm its favor. In short,
the only persons who seem to be dis
satisfied with the decision of the sup

soundness, are the justices of the sup

PILIKIA OVER TIE NAMES
CHINESE COGNOMENs TOO MUCH
ALIKE.
Troubles of Collector Chamberlain in
Index Making-Babies just Born and
Some Unborn Registered.

In the big bundles of photographs of
Chinese which Internal Revenue Col
lector Chamberlain is filing away and
indeXing there are some photos that
via, not be of use very long. They are
of small babies, some infants just born.
and hastily registered in order that
there might be no danger of their being
deported Though Judge Estee has de
cided that native born Chinese need not
register, the decision was not made un-
til after the registering was over. and
most of the native born Chinese regis
tered as a matter of precaution.
One of the last applicants for GER
tificate was Chinese mother, with
baby a few days old The mother has
tened with her child to Chamberlain s
office, had the tiny youngster photo
graphed and secured a certificate for
him, with the childs picture on it. The
picture is of no value, for the child was
too small to have any features that can
ever be recogniZed. The photo simply
shows a tiny Chinese baby's face but
the mother thought she was complying
with cast iron law, and she went
away satisfied that her babe could
never be shipped back to China. In
other cases mothers registered children
yet unborn.
The work of making the index is
proving a cumbersome task. The Abs
and the Chongs, Chings, Choys, etc,
with Wong and Lees, Lams, Looks. and
Leongs are taking up all the space, and
making it hard to get up an index
that will be of service.
There are 1873 Chinese, among the
q, 900 registered, whose names begin
with L." The idea of an index of 2S,
900 names. with over seven thousand
beginning with one letter, to be looked
through when Look See was wanted,
was not very encouraging, so the nlan
of making a secondary index, by the
second names, was adopted. The letter
"C' comes next after L." there being
1870 Chinese in the lot whose names
begin with &C." Those whose first ini-
tial is wv" number 2713 and there are
1901 with 1T" The letter "R" has the
least. there being only four out of the
28, 900. The four letters, IL" &C, "W"
and 1T" are two-thirds of the entire
index.
The work Of making the index Is now
progressing rapidly. The certificates
are all beino filed away, and when the
index is complete it will be possible for
the department to find any one of the
2S, 600 certificates that may be called
for at any time.

MANY SEE PERU DEPART.
RI WHEN HIS SHIP COMES IN
FEDERAL OFFICIALS RETURN TO
WASHINGTON.
Miss Kinney was Bidden Aloha by
Kamehameha School Girls-Band
Played the Vessel Away.

The Peru got away about IL o'clock
this morning for the Coast with a large
crowd abroad. The band was in at
tendance and played the vessel off.
Special interest was attached to the
departure of the Peru from the fact
that several Federal officials were re-
turning to Washington after complet-
ing special missions in the Hawaiian
Islands.
Treasury Agent McLennon, , aughter
and son were among those who left
on the cru and A. r. Sevren and w. A.
Rodenberg of the civil service commits
sion We're also among the passengers.
a large crowd of friends were in at
tendance to bid aloha to Miss McLen-
non who was bedecked with gorgeous
leis.
The departure of Rev. Mr. Kincaid
for a vacation to the Coast was an oc-
casiou for members of the Central
Union congregation to attend the de-
parIure of the vessel and say goodbye
to their pastor. The friends of Ex-
Deputy Collector of the Port George Z
Stratemeyer were also on hand to bid
him farewell
The quarantine regulations regarding
the fumigation of baggage which DR..
Golfer announced, were put into effect.
The baggage~of the passengers on the
Peru were the first to be subjected TO
this precaution. Jack McVeigh and his
assistant fumigated no less than Sc
pieces. The pair were kept busy for
hours this morning at the Mail dock but
completed their part of the work in
good time and did not delay the vessel
in the least.
A very pretty incident occurred, pre-
vious to the departure of the vessel.
Miss Kinney one of the teachers of the
Kamehameha School was a passenger
TO the coast, where she will pass her
summer vacation. A large number of
former pupils of the school and her
friends were present and decked her
with leis until she was a mass of bril-
liant colors. The young ladies of the
school sang several Hawaiian songs in
her honor. The Peru will probably con-
tinue on the Oriental run until the ad-
vent of the Korean next winter.

STEEL MAsTs.

1t would be well IL the owners of all
the great sloops frankly abandoned
these flimsy steel contrivances and
went back to the noble, solid pines OF
Oregon. The confidence of officers and
crews in the steel tubes is hopelessly
shaken on both sides of the Atlantic.
And this confidence of sailor men in
the top-hamper, where their work
must be bold and sure and steady,
is worth far more than a few hundred
pounds of extra weight The hollow
steel mast ought to go, or, If 1t Is re-
tanned, 1t ought to be the substantial
spar which towers above the mighty
bulls of ocean liners. No steamship
afioat begins TO have upon a single
mast, however strong, the canvas acre

HE ANNEXED CEBU.
New Ship for Yankee Skipper Who
Lowered Filipino Flag.


The big steel ship Acme, built for
the Standard Oil Company, which was
launched from the yard of Arthur
Sewall & Co., lately, will be com
manded by Capt. Reuben S. Lawrence
of Bath. For more than thirty-five
years Capt. Lawrence has followed the
sea and for twenty-one years he has
been in command of big ships.
One of the most interesting of his
experiences was his capture of the ISL
and of Cebu in the Philippines. On
February 8, 1890, Captain Lawrence
sailed into the harbor of Cebu in the
Boston ship John Currier which he
had commanded for a dozen years. The
Filipino flag was flying over the fort
on shore. Capt. Lawrence ran the Stars
and Stripes to the peak of his ship and
ordered that they remain there while
the vessel was in port.
1t seems that the natives had become
disquieted and the white people feared
a massacre. His ship, therefore, was
gladly welcomed by them and for sew
eral weeks the women of the colony
remained on board and at night the
men Joined them.
Finally on Washington's Birthday
Capt. Lawrence took a party of his
crew with him on shore and, pulling
down the Filipino flag from the fort,
placed the United States flag there and
took possession of the Island in the
name of his own country. A day or
two later a ship from Dewey's fleet
arrived and the island was given over
to it's keeping.
When Capt. Lawrence sailed away
for Boston he had on board a gun
known as Long Tom, which was of
5-inch caliber and twelve feet long, and
which was said to have been left at
Cebu by the explorer Magellan.-New
York Sun.

ASKS FOR DUTY ON COFFEE
RESOLUTION IN THE
SENATE.
Congress Petitioned to Bolster Up a
Waning Industry-Duty Of Seven
Cents a Pound is Requested.

Senator Paris introduced a joint reso-
luton in the Senate this morning pray
ing Congress to place a duty OF seven
cents a pound on all coffee imported
into the United States. 1t was as fol-
lows:
BE it resolved by the Senate and the
House of Representative concurring Of
the Territory of hawaii.
That whereas the coffee industry,
which at one time promised to be a
leading industry, is now in depressed
condition, and threatened to be aban-
doned, on account of the low prices,
and the removal of the protective duty
of seven cents per pound on all coffee
imported into the Republic of Hawaii
BEFORE annexation; and the large
amounts imported into the United
States free of duty from Brazil. Mexico,
Central America and other countries
That whereas this Territory pos
sesses large area of land suited to
the cultivation of coffee, and a large
amount of American capital is now in
vested in the industry, and upon which
large farming class have depended
for livelihood but cannot compete
with the low prices, where cheap labor
is employed as in the countries above
mentioned.
I'VE therefore pray, that the Con-
gress of the United States, do impose
a duty on all coffee imported from
other countries. and in this way, pro-
tect this industry in Hawaii and other
parts of the United States
BE it resolved, That the Governor
of this Territory is hereby requested
to transmit certified copies of this reso-
luton to the President of the United
States the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House of Represent
tatives with the request that this reso-
luton be laid before the Congress of the
United States.
u, d. PARIS,
Senator First District, Territory
of Hawaii.
Senate Chamber, Territory of Ha-
wall July. 1901
The Senator made a speech in which
he pointed out the deplorable condition
of the coffee industry and said that the
only thing to build it up again was the
duty mentioned. A great deal of land
suited to coffee was not suited to SUI
gar and would lie idle
Mr.. Achi amended to have one copy
sent TO Delegate Wilcox.
The resolution thereupon nassed.
