ISLAND IS SEEN
OFF K0HALA COAST

A letter from Representative Kaniho
OF North Kohala, was recently received
by friend, in which the former gives
the following about a mysterious ISL
and which he claims to have seen:
ION December 25th OF last year, at
1857 a. M. | saw an island on the
Koolau or nothern side of Kohala,
about three-quarters of mile from the
mainland. 1t was on straight line
with the bay OF Pahoa in the District
Of Honomakau where | am at present
residing.
II saw everything from the noun.
tain tops to the seashore OF the island
which looked deep blue and beautiful.
There were two mountains at a con-
siderable distance, one from the other,
with table land between.
"0n the eastern side was a long
stretch OF land running from the foot
Of the mountain to where II ended In
cape, on which was little hill. On
the west side OF this cape was little
bay.
Il could plainly see the surf rolling
in on every side OF the bay. There
were no trees growing on the noun
tains or the kula land. The mountain
tops were serrated. On the shore a
short distance from the bay, saw an
old Hawaiian grass hut and something
like a steamer entering the bay.
81 saw this beautiful and wonderful
| island for abOut three-uuarters of an
hour and then 1t passed from my
View"
At the conclusion of the letter, Mr.
Kaniho states that what he saw was
not a dream, neither was il vision
He was in the full possession of his
wits. 1t is possible that this might
be another case of the wonderful
mirages that mariners swear they have
seen.

STEAMERS THAT ARE DUE.

Word was brought by the steamer
China that the Sierra was not to have
left San Francisco for this port before
the 9th inst at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. II was even possible that she
would be detained later than that. She
was being held for the English mail
which was delayed in crossing the At
lantic, and also on the overland route.
The transport Grant which was to
have sailed from San Francisco for
this port on the Sth inst, at noon may
arrive here today. She will have one
days later mail and papers. She will
remain here about three days.
The Moana from Vancouver should
come in this morning She has been
delayed in all probability by the same
weather which made the trip of the
China so uncomfortable, Should she
arrive after the China departs this
morning she will be locked ut the Pa
cific Mail wharf. Should she arrive
before she will go to the Quarantine
wharf

new INTERNATIONAL
CODE Of SIGNALS

A circular regarding the use OF the
new International Code Signals recent
ly issued by the Bureau OF Naviga-
ton, which is of interest to masters of
sailing vessels and others, is as fol-
lows:
Treasury Department, Bureau Of Navi.
CATION, Washington. d. c., January
%, 1902.
To Collectors OF Customs, Masters OF
Vessels and others:
AS stated in the Code List publish
ed by this Office for 1901, the new in
ternational code OF signals came into
use on January /. 1901. From January
l, 1901, to January l. 1902, the new cdl-
ton of the code and the old edition
were to be used concurrently, nut from
January |, 1902, information was Civ
en- that the new edition alone would
be used.
1t now appears that the British
Board Of Trade has decided that, while
II is to be assumed in all cases that
the new code will be used on and after
January 1, 1902, II signalmen in any
case can not make out a signal by the
new code and find IL transferable by
the old code, they are not to refuse to
receive II.
Similar action may be taken in the
United States, and signals In such
cases made from vessels according to
the old code may be received and re.
ported.
II is suggested that the fact that the
old code has been used by a vessel be
brought in each case to the attention
of the Bureau of Navigation, Treasury
Department.
A copy OF this circular should be
posted at each custom house for the
information of masters and other per
sons concerned.

Commissioner.

INHERITANCE TAX CASE.

The Supreme Court, by Chief Jus
tice Frear and Justice Perry Justice
Galbralth dissenting, gave a decision
yesterday In the tax appeal case OF
Frank Halstead. submitted on an
agreed statement of facts. II is held
that Halstead must pay the income
tax on his $40, 69l.l7, which he received
on June 1, 1901, from the estate OF his
father, who died during the previous
June. Halstead's contention was that
the title to the inheritance passed at
the time Of the death, and that there
fore It was income received before the
fiscal year for which he was assessed,
Another contention was that the in
heritance, as federal tax had been paid
on it, was exempt under the clause in
the income tax law which says that
the Hawaiian income tax shall not be
assessed on any bequest or inheritance
otherwise taxed as such"
The majority opinion is that this
clause does not apply to federal tax
but only to Hawaiian taxes. Justice
Galbraith dissents to this view.
