BASIN
FOR EXTRA CABLE
Being Erected on Commercial
Gable %Company's
Property.

A big gang of laborers is working
night and day on the Commercial Ca
bic Company's land hear the Eva end
of the railway wharf in constructing
store about one hundred and fifty miles
of spare cable that the steamer Silver
town will leave in Honolulu after COM
pleting the laying of the undersea wire
from San Francisco to this port.
The basin will be circular, thirty-six
feet in diameter, and twelve feet deep.
At present the laborerse are blasting out
solid coral at the point where the ba-
sin is located. By night electric lights
show the men where to do their work.
Hundreds of barrels of cement will be
used in constructing a foo for the ba-
sin which will be eighteen inches thick
and walls ali around it which shall be
of the same thickness. When compile
ted the cable steamer will probably
have arrived and the big cement tank
will contain coils of cable amounting
to about a hundred and fifty miles in
length. After the cable has been LAID
in the basin will be filled with salt
water as it is necessary to keep the
cable in reserve under the same condi
tions as it will be when laid upon thu
bed of the ocean.

~Inaugurate Fast
Freight Service
From Coast.
of the Use of
Fuel Oil on Big
F~reighters.

Mail advices received from San Fran
cisco by the America Maru state that
as a fuel on the steamer Nevadan that
the Observation-Disclosures Steamship Co.
has decided to put the Nebraskan in
service as an oil burner at once so that
she may make her first trip from San
Francisco to the islands on November
18th. Arrangements have also been
made to- inaugurate a service fast
enough so that Honolulu may have
either the Nevadan or the Nebraskan in
port from San Francisco once every six
teen days.
There was some doubt at first as to
what the oil-burner might be able to
accomplish in the way of speed and
steady service but the placing of the
two local freighters on such a fast
schedule shows that the big company
has every confidence in the fuel. I'm
der this arrangement the steamers will
have to make the round trip from San
Francisco to Honolulu and Kahulu in
thirty-two days.
With both these steamers carrying
mai and the mail service as it stands
at present Honolulu will have very good
postal communication with the Coast.
Both vessels also carry cold storage
goods and taken in conjunction with
the Oceanic liners the islands should
consider themselves very close to the
Coast as far as fresh food is con-
cerned.
The steamer Alaskan of the same line
will leave Seattle and Tacoma for Ho-
nolulu on November 3oth.

Fast Coaltng.

On a recent voyage of the C. P. r.
Co.'s steamship Empress of China, says
the British Trade Journal of October
L. when, owing to a delayed departure
from Vancouver, she was required TO
make a fast passage, the coaling agents
at Nagasaki, Japan, were asked to
make a special effort to coal the ship
with despatch. They responded SO well
that the ship received into her bunkers
1,21O tons of coal in three hours and
fifteen minutes, or 372 tons per hour,
which is the record of the port. AS
TINS coal was handled from lighters to
the ship by coolies, men, women and
children, in small baskets. an appre-
citation may be had of the feat per-
formed.

Had a Close Cell.

The vessels belonging to the Arctic
whaling feet are now commencing to
arrive in San Francisco and MANY stor-
les are being told of dangers that were
braved and overcome in the frozen
north but perhaps h most interesting
is that told by the officers of the whal-
ing bark Charles w. Morgan. In a
dead calm the bark drifted towards
Usimor Island and got almost into the
breakers when it was found that des-
perate measures were necessary to save
her. The crews of the five whale boats
belonging to the vessel got out and
were successful in their endeavor TO
tnw the Yesael into deep water.

First of Bounty
Farmers in
Port.
vincennes Made Long
Passage Front Cardiff,
England.

After a long voyage of one n
and ffty days from Cardiff, England,
The French bark vincennes. the first
of the French bounty earners, arrived
in port yesterday afternoon. Although
the vincennes had a hard voyage, she
made the time around the Horn quicker
than the W other French barks which
are coming by way of the Cape of Good
Hone and Tasmania. The Duchesse
de Barry met with a gale off the Cape
of Good Hope, and had to put into
Cape Town in distress. The bark Bri-
zeux put into Hobart, Tasmania, on
October 2, and it is not known whether
she had met with a mishap, but the
Vincennes evidently struck better luck
by rounding the Horn, although she,
too, sustained some damage in a gale.
on Cape Horn the fine vessel lay for
two weeks fighting all kinds of wealth
er, but unable to proceed On her voy-
age. One heavy gale came very near
putting the ship out of business, as it
came ON with such ~suddenness that
several sails were caught and quickly
split, while one big life boat was
washed from it's skids and went over
board.
The Vincennes is a splendid vessel.
She has steam engines which drive all
her winches and every bit of gear on
the vessel is in the best of condition.
None OF the sailors of the vessel can
speak English, and in order to con-
verse intelligently with her skipper one
must have an interpreter.
The bark was berthed at the Railway
wharf, where 1900 tons of coal will be
discharged for the Navy Department,
and the remaining 1.2Oo tons of her
cargo will be taken to San Francisco.

LYONS SAVED
NECkAR ISLAND
Urged the Cabinet to Send island
Steamer 10 Hoist
Flag.

Nov that the Canadians have told
their side of the Nerkar island story
said Prof. Curtis j. Lyons yesterday,
Eve may as well tell ours. At the time
the incident occurred, May, 1894, 1 was
an assistant in the Survey office. One
day Professor Alexander told me that
the British minister, Major Wodehouse,
was comforting with the Government
about Neckar island and that there was
some doubt as to who owned it. My
reply was that, ii any doubt existed,
the Government had better send down
and raise the flag. Nothing was done,
however, and soon after the British
cruiser Champion arrived. AS hat YES
sci was in the business of annexing ISL
ands I thought we ought to keep an eye
on her. Soon it was given out that the
Champion would sail IN the 25th for
Kauai. This excited suspicion, which
was increased when, on the oath, the
Vancouver steamer arrived with a
Canadian engineer who said he. was
here on cable business. The same day
a member of the British consular corps
telephoned asking if he could see me,
and in the course of the afternoon he
came in with the engineer. They want
ed to look at map charts of islands
northwest of Hawaii. I put the charts
before them and asked if they were in
terested in phosphates. Their interest,
however, seemed to center in Neckar
island upon which, in looking over the
map, the Canadian engineer put his
finger. l told the gentlemen that the
Hawaiian government claimed all those
islands and showed them the chart Of
Capt. John Paty's voyage in 1857 when
he raised the Hawaiian flag on many
islands, though not, as 1 failed to tell
them, upon Neckar. On their leaving
l went to see Minister King and not
finding him left word as to what was
up. Before long / was requested to
meet the cabinet at Mr.. Hatch's house
in the evening. The ministers asked
what had taken place and I told them
n asked Capt. King what was the
fastest steamer he could get. He said
the Iwalani. The cabinet Their went
over to the U. S. S, Philadelphia and
were advised by Admiral Walker to act
at once. w. O. Smith called at the
Survey office in the morning and asked
us to get a chronometer ready for the
/ Iwalani, which we did. That evening
the steamer sailed, followed quickly by
the Champion. The latter went to
Kauai and whether she went to Neckar
or not, I don't know. The Canadians
say some cruiser went there and found
u flag flying. After this incideni
Great Britain sought to lease the island
and the matter was referred to Wash.

part in the matter is concerned" saiG

N the midst of our island chain. Som,
folks thought we had lost III cable b,

Gov. Dole's Report.

Governor Dole's request in his re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior"
said a well-known waterfront man yes
terday, "for more. lighthouses in the
islands and for the widening of the
channel into Honolulu harbor are good.

shipping here hopes that we may get
them carried out. The Governor shows
that ne is alive to the interests of the
Territory in a shipping way"
Need an Iron Vessel.
A force of men is now at work caulk-
ing TIE bark Albert which recently re-
turned from a hard voyage to Laysan
Island. While the Albert is in good
shape the heavy work that she en-
countered strained her timbers to some
extent. 1t is believed that the only
type of vessel that can be used to ad-
vantage in the guano trade would be a
well built bark having an iron hull

ly Injured in the Sauquoit Mill.
Notes of Many Kinds.

young man, who is employed at the
Sauquoit silk mill, as an elevator oper-
ator, met with il serious accident yes
terday that will lay him up for some
time.
1t is understood that he is subject to
epileptic fits and the presumption is
that he was taken i'll at the elevator
shaft. AT any rate he was picked up in
an unconscious condition, after falling
a distance of twenty feet, and the only
way to account for the accident is that
he had taken Il fit.
When picked up he was mass of
bruises. and although no bones We're
broken, his face and neck We're severe
ly cut. His injuries were attended to
by DR.. j. j. Walsh who will make u
