One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention OF
tourists as we'll as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall, 1t is interesting to
enter the large maiu working room,
where general manager McDonough
and his corps OF assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is a
proper resting place and the vaults,
where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present a very taety
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$50 \. m. to 1l:30 p. m. and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place
will find first class refreshments and
the purest Of liouors.

President Of American Bar As
SOciatiOn Gives His Views.

Saratoga, N. Y. Aug. 27.-The Ameri-

President Rose spoke feelingly of the
death of President Mckinley and said
that the execution of the assassin failed
to satisfy the just demands of the vio-

most incendiary character are made BY
refugees from foreign Iands,'' are per-
mitted to be held.
President Rose spoke at length on
trusts, saying in part:
Our country. during the last thirty
years. has witnessed change of such
magnitude as to be without a single
parallel in history. BY means of vast
aggregations of money, corporate mo-
nopolies have been established in almost

In Ready Cash.

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 27.-The United
States Steel corporation today filed in
the court of chancery an answer to the
amended bill of complaint of j. Aspin-
H. CurtiSS to restrain the proposed con-
version of 5000. 600. 600 Z per cent. pre-
ferred stock into $500, ,000,000 per cent.
second mortgage bonds. The answer
denies that the books of the corporation
show Curtiss to be the owner of any
stock of the concern. Smith. it Is
averred. did not own any stock of rec
ord until June "a, 1902, after the plan Of
conversion had been adopted and that
the stock now recorded in Smiths name
was voted in favor of the plan. Hodge,
it is admitted, owns 100 shares of stock,
but it Is alleged that he was not present
at the stockholders meeting when the
plan was submitted and that his stock
was not voted either by himself or by
proxy.
1t Is denied that fifteen or more of the
directors of the steel corporation are
members of the syndicate through
which the preferred was to be converted
into bonds. 1t is admitted that some
of the directors are members OF the
syndicate, but that this fact was COM
municated to every stockholder in the
circular of April II. 1902.
The answer says the directors in the
syndicate are a minority in the board
OF directors. but that they are large
stockholders and favored the conversion
plan because they believed it would be
advantageous to them as StOckhOlQer9.
It is denied that any stockholder had
been offered special terms in connec-
ton with the conversion of their pre-
ferred stock into bonds in order to Sc
cure their affirmative votes for the plan.
It is denied that the $50, ,0O0, 900 of addi-
tional capital which it was proposed
to obtain was needed for purposes that
were chargeable to the earnings of the
company. The answer then takes up
the line of the argument made in thh
affidavit of Geo. w. Perkins, chairman
of the finance committee, filed last
week. in which Mr.. Perkins claimed
that this additional $4,000. 900 was need
ed to pay for improvements and to give
the company q larger surplus, to per-
init 1t to do a cash business. and be
protected against money striugency
in the event of a business depression.
The answer says the earnings of the
corporation for the year ending March
81. 1902, were $111. 500, ,054; for the month
of April, 1902. $12, 800, 766; May. $13, 120.-
$50; June, $12220, 1852; July. estimated.
$11, SOC, 600, at the rate ofs $15O, 900, 900 a
year. An inventory is filed to show that
the company's property is worth 81 400, :
900, 600, more than the combined par
value of the preferred and common
stock. It is stated also that the COM
pany's surplus Is now $65, 00O, 900.
The answer emphasizes the point
raised by Mr.. Perkins to the effect that
the conversion plan would reduce the
fixed charges of the company and be
advantageous to all stockholders. both
preferred and common.
