FRENCH VESSELS
NOW ON WAY HERE

The usual passage from Cardiff to
this port is about 100 days, and two
coal laden French vessels are now out
considerably more than that time. In
fact, four French bounty earning YES
sells are now due here from Cardiff,
and may be expected to arrive at any
time. They are the bark Vincennes,
out l42 days: the bark Duchesse de
Berry, out l34 days; the bark Brizeux
out 1l2 days; and the bark Cham
pigny, out 81 days. The French bark
Anne de Brettany is out 12l days from
Penorth.
These vessels all have coal. which
has been sold to the navy department
for use at the naval station here, and
it is likely that in future most Of the
vessels arriving here from English
ports carrying coal will be Frenchmen
as the bounty paid to ship owners by
that government will permit them to
carry cargoes of coal at much less
rate than English or American owners
could afford to do 1t.
The French vessels leave but little
money in Honolulu. They berth at gov
eminent wharves and their sailors
secure such small wages that they have
little to spend here. Even captains are
poorly paid. their wages often amount
ing TO no more than $45 month, and
sailors secure anything from $40 to $12
a month. These amounts are so small
that the French sailor is paralysed
when he learns that the price OF a
glass Of beer equals one-half of a franc
in his own money, and other things
are corrpsnOndinplv dear
But there are some American ships
now on the way that will offset the
cheapness Of the Frenchmen. The
bark Foohng Suey is out II days from
New York, and the barkentne Encore
and ship Emily f. Whitney are on the
way from the nitrate ports. The big
ship Benjamin f. Packard is now out
81 days from Norfolk, with coal from
Norfolk.
Three vessels are out about 40 days
from Newcastle. They are the barks
Abbey Palmer and Excelsior and the
barkentine Benicia

BY WIRELESS
TO KAUAI NOW

II no mishap occurs to mar arrange
ments that have already been per-
fected, election returns from Kauai
may be received by wireless telegraph
tonight. +. J. Cross returned from
Nawiliwili on Sunday, after completing
the wireless station there, and left yes
terday afternoon for Kaena Point,
where he expected to receive the first
message over the new line last night.
The Kauai wireless station is located
about 1000 feet from the Nawiliwili
lighthouse. The Office at that point Is
connected by telephone with the tele-
phone system of the Garden Isle.
Messages will leave the station at
Nawiliwili, and speed across the Kaieie
channel to Kaena Point, on Oahu,
where they will be received and sent
on to Honolulu. Kaena Point is close
to Waianae, and connections can easily
be made from that point to Honolulu.
This work was to be fixed up by Mr..
Gross yesterday, and he expects to
have everything in readiness to handle
the election day returns.
A wireless station will be located in
Republican headquarters. so that all

from the people of Hilo. One of the
chief eye-sores. in fact the only one
of consequence that marks the beauty
and attractiveness of Hilo, is Front
street Not the street alone, but the
character of the improvements along
either side. Whatever property own
ers or lease holders along this street
can do to assist in it's improvement

Humphreys again arose and said he
wished to challenge the array before it
was sworn, for the reasons given in his
motion. and also for the reason that
the power and Jurisdiction of the court
is vested IN three judges and not in one,
and consequently Judge De Bolt did not
have the power to charge the grand
jury.
Judge De Bolt denied the challenge
and proceeded to charge the jury.
While reading the last page of his
charge, Judge De Bolt was again in
terrupted by Humphreys, who said he
again desired to challenge the grand
jury and hoped that the Supreme
Court of the United States would take
the liberty of dissenting from your
honor"
George Davis who had just entered,
said he wanted to challenge the jury
also on behalf of b. II. Wright, on the
same grounds. adding that he hadn't
seen the motion. He said that the court
had no power to divide itself and that
the statute was exceeded in the as
sumption of this power. The challenge
was promptly denied in each instance.
Then DAVIS made the challenge on
behalf of A. d. Thompson, the tax clerk
charged with embezzlement, and it was
also denied. When some one told the
attorney mat thompson had already
been indicted by the last grand jury he
withdrew his challenge.

Canker's charges they were simply rot.
He hadn't the faintest inkling what had
become of the purloined letters any
more than he had of the whereabouts
of his Delta Sig friend, young Morton,
now officially proclaimed deserter.
But Armstrong heard more tales of
Witches devotions to him in his ill
ness, and the slow convalescence that
ensued, noted how the boys eyes fol-
lowed her about the deck, and how
many a time he would seek her side,
even when other men were reading,
walking or chatting with her. Arm
strong looked with wonderment that
was close allied to incredulity and pain.
Was it possible that this blithe lad, who
had won such a warm interest in the
heart of such a girl as Amy Lawrence,
could be forgetful of her, faithless to
her, and fascinated now by this selfish
and shallow butterfly? 1t was incred-
ible!
But was it? The days had grown hot
ter, the nights closer, and the air be-
tween decks was sitting when the sea
rolled high and closed the ports. Off
GERS had taken to snoozing up on deck
in steamer chairs. BY an unwritten
law the port side of the promenade
deck was given up to them after II at
night; but the women folk had the run
of the starboard side at any hour when
the crew were not washing down decks.
Armstrong had been far forward about
two o'clock one breathless night to see
for himself the condition of things in
the hospital under the forecastle. The
main deck was crowded with sleeping
forms of soldiers who found it impos-
sible to stand the heat below; so on his
return, instead of continuing along the
gangway, he decided to climb the iron
ladder FROM the main to the promenade
deck 1t Would land him at the forward
end of the starboard side. There he
could smoke a cigar in peace and quiet.
1t was high time everybody was asleep.
/ But as his head and eyes reached tho
level of the deck he became suddenly
aware of a couple huddled close to-
gether in the shelter of a canvas
screen, and under the steps leading
aloft to the bridge. He knew Gray's
voice at once, and Gray was pleading.
He knew her tones of old, and she was
imperative, and listening with obvious
Impotence, for, almost at the instant
of his arrival she spoke, low, yet dis
tinctly: "Do as l say; do as 1 beg you
when we reach Manila, and then come
and see how 1 can reward"

from the lips of Witchie Garrison.
Armstrong. silent and somber, at the
captains right, looking forward from
time to time, saw only one face at the
generals table that was not lighted up
with merriment; it was the face of the
boy he envied, if envy of this kind ever
entered into his heart, and he wondered
as he looked at Billy's curly head what
could have come over that glad young
life to leave so deep shadow on his
handsome face.
One night, just one week later, Arm
strong's eyes were opened. More than
once in the meanwhile he had invited
the young officers confidence, and Billy,
who three months earlier had been all
gratitude and frankness, protested
there was nothing on his mind. He had

The Steamer Catania Has Been Sold
But Another Vessel Will be Bought
in Her Line to Be Run
ming Soon.

. The New York Journal of Commerce,
of March 9Th. says:
1T is rumored that the American
Steamer Catania has been purchased
for the oil trade"
AS the Catania is the ship which the
Carolina Steamship company, purchas-
ed to be run on the new line between
here and New York, a Messenger rep
r~esentative on yesterday asked one IF
the directors of the Carolina Steam
ship Company about the rumor as men
toned by The Journal of Commerce.
The director referred to confirmed the
sale of the Catania and stated that the
sale had been concurred in by the Will
mington interests as in every way ad-
vantageouS for the Carolina Steamship
Company. The directors are now pro-
ceeding to purchase another steamer
better adapted in every way for the
needs of the company. The net result,
we are assured. will be altogether 10
the advantage of the company, and we
understand that it will not be very long
now till the new line between Whining
ton and New York is in operation.
The Carolina Steamship Company was
recently organized by merchants Of
Wilmington and New York parties for
the purpose of operating a line of
steamers for freight and passenger
