WHAT THE MAIL
STEAMERS BRING
Meats, Fruits, and Other Things
That Arrive Regularly
From Coast.

"She had about a thousand tons OF
general cargo for Honolulu"
Such a statement as this appears in
the Honolulu newspapers every time a
mail steamer arrives from the coast,
but very few people realize how much
that small statement means to them
and what a lot of goods are included in
that thousand tons. 1t means an enor-
nous amount of foodstuffs and other
articles which must come from the
coast regularly or the people OF the
Paradise of the Pacific would find high
prices and a shortness of all kinds of
provisions on the market for a week
until another steamer should put in
an appearance.
One such cargo as an illustration will
show the class of goods and the amount
brought here by a mail steamer The
Oceanic liner Sierra was the last mail
steamer from San Francisco. She had
an immense amount of stuff in her cold
storage chambers. There was one item
of 81. 527 pounds of fresh meat-steaks,
chops, roasts and all sorts of dainties;
and 3,13S pounds of dressed poultry
counted for a large number of good
dinners. There were 5000 pounds of
codfish-enough - provide a large
amount for every boarding house In
Honolulu for boarders here very ire
uuently nave that article on their me-
nus; 1850 pounds of millstuffs also rep
resented considerable breakfast foods
There was a large consignment of can
ned goods Over 1900 gallons of wines
and liquors give only a small idea to
the man on the coast of the drinking
capacities of the people here A con-
Signment of cigars and tobacco comes
by every boat having a cargo similar
to the Sierra's. All sorts of vegetables
in large quantities show what a market
there is here for anyone who VIII use
industry enough to grow these things
in Oahu.
OF course provisions make up the
best part of the cargo for this port and
so one is not surprised TO see over 5000
pounds of ham and bacon being dis
charged on the Oceanic wharf. There
were about thousand pounds of
cheese and nearly a hundred packages
of sundry provisions and groceries.
Hawaiian hens cannot anywhere near
supply us with eggs. so the $50 cases
that came by the Sierra did not give
anyone an idea that they would lower
the market price. Then there were
large boxes of dried fruits, dry goods.
boots and shoes, hats. leather. zinc,
arms and ammunition, machinery, boil
er tubes, sewing machines, stoves, steel.
iron. paper, electrical goods, mill work,
marble white lead and paints. to say
nothing of 29 packages OF beer.
In addition to all of this the steamer
had tons of newspapers and letters
even more eagerly looked for than the
supply of fresh meats, fruits and other
provisions.

MONITOR FOR
HARBOR WORK

The United States Navy Department
is preparing a new scheme for defense
of the smaller American ports and ISL
ands which have no shore batteries.
Hawaii will probably be included in
this scheme, as there are no shore pat
teries here which can be used to defend
the islands from the possible attacks OF
a foreign fleet, and it is not always pos
sib!e to have a gunboat or cruiser in
these waters For island defense small
monitors have been planned, and one
of these for use on the Atlantic coast
has already beer launched. This is the
Arkansas and she is officially termed
a harbor defense monitor. She is an
interesting vessel.
The Arkansas has a beam of 90 feet,
is 252 feet long and upon water dis
pIacement of 1885 tons will draw only
1914 feet of water. Her bow is ntted
with an enormous ram, and this would
be certain doom for a large battleship
should the smaller craft be able to get
a run at her.
Lying low upon the water, with all OF
her exposed hull stoutly covered with
armor ranging from five to eleven
inches thick; with her two big guns well
housed in a turret of hardened steel
eleven inches thick, and with the bases
of her smokestack and ventilators
guarded by folds of the same tough
metal, she offers but a limited target
to an enemys fire. The housing amid
ships of no military Importance, coulo
he riddled from end to end and turned
info a tangled bunch of plates and an
giles, but so long as the turret renamed
intact the ship would be practically as
formidable as ever.
The main battery consists of two p
inch guns Of the older type-not such
as have been designed for the latest
battleships-in the forward turret; four
4-inch rapid-fire rifles, mounted on the
corners of the Superstructure, ana
number of smaller rapid-flre guns, the
object of which is to repel torpedo
craft. Accordingly they are mounted
on the superstructure and up in the
fiphting top. The vessel carries no tor
working along the American coast,
the coal supply of 200 tons Will give the
Arkansas a considerable radius or ac-
ton, while modest draught win ehdple
the class to safeguard many OF the sea
board cities and towns not protected
by permanent batteries.
The Arkansas was built by the New
port News Shipbuilding and Dry DOCK
Company. Her keel was laid Novem-
Der IA, 1899; she was launched year
and four days later, and Will be READY
for commissioning now IN re"
months When turned over TO the
NAVY Department, her contractors VIII
nave earned $3.50 900. and the govern
ment. while not acquiring a thing or
beauty, will have got useful lnstru-
ment of defense.
Naval men consider that such craLt
will be especially suited tor the WORE
around Hawaii after the Pearl Haroor
Naval Station has been completed.

Grain Highest in May.

The average of wheat at Chicago for
each mouth on the basis Of fourteen
years, according TO The rci ort OF the in
5ustrial commission, shows May to be
the month of highest Prices. The prices
for twelve months in their order vrre rs
follows; May, II u cents per bushel;
October. 76 ~; Novomh'r, 76 50; April,

96; August, OF -; JULY. 7l.i5; Septem-
Der, 7348, The price OF May appears to
be the highest, which is perf' city uatur-
al, considering that the owners Of tho
wheat have been Obliged 10 lay storage
charges, interest, insurance, etc, for
eight to ton months, and must get that
out Of the sale prize.
While August and September, periods
of heavy receipts frciu tho new crop, are
among the months uf the lowest prices,
October and November record higher
price than any month except May, Some
light may be thrown op this anomaly in
tho fact that much Of the wheat market
ed in August aud September comes from
farmers who are pressed for cash and
are, therefore, taken advantage Of by
