The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-11-06

A good many people will remember
the stirring day in the spring of 1884
when Minister King got on an Inter-
Island steamer, after sending aboard
a big fagpole and a Hawaiian ensign
to fly for it, and made all haste for
Neckar Island, followed later in the
day by the British cruiser Champion,
which had been lying in the harbor.
It was rumored then that the Cham
| pion had been instructed to annex the
island for a cable station, and that
Captain Kings trip was made to out
wit her. The sequel of the story, Civ
ing inside facts hitherto unknown to
the Hawaiian public, follows:
OTTAWA, October 1S.-Much inter-
est is manifested in the expected an
nouncement by Sir Wilfrid Laurier
regarding the attitude of the govern
ment in permitting the United States
to lay a cable from Honolulu to con-
meet with the all-British Pacific cable
al Tanning Island. A report has been
received from Honolulu that this per-
mission has already been granted, but
it is not credited in Government cir
cles here.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has just returned
from England, where, it is believed,
arrangements were completed.
Those in authority say that such a
| concession to the United States would
| threaten to a certain extent the indie
~o~loro1 nf tho o1lZprifich ooh1a nrni
ect, and could serve no other purpose
pany to compete, perhaps unfairly
| with the s~tate-owned cable between
| Canada and Australia.
When, in 1894, Sir Sanford Fleming,
of Ottawa, was in England promoting
the Pacific cable project, he urged up
on the imperial authorities the neces-
sity of securing undisputed possession
of Neckar Island, near the Sandwich
group, as a convenient landing-place
| for the cable, being only about 2,40O
nautical miles from Vancouver. The
| British Government promised to act,
but the admiralty would not be hur-
| ried in the matter of sending a man
of-war to Neckar to hoist the flag on
the island. The. utmost secrecy had to
| be maintained. After some delay the
| vessel sailed for Neckar Island, but
| only to find on arriving that the Ha-
waiian flag was already flying over
that territory. The mission had failed
| and only by a few hours.
1t was long a mystery how the Brit
ish plans were foiled, but it is a mys-
terry no longer. About the time the
British commissioner left Ottawa to dc
the fag-hoisting a certain Australian
| cabinet minister visited Ottawa on his
way home. The secret of the territory
grabbing expedition was whispered in
his ear with every confidence in his
discretion. But upon his arrival in
Honolulu he called on President Dole
and in the course of a conviyial even,
ing let out the secret. Next day 9
steamer sailed with the Hawaiian flag
on board for Neckar Island.
Neckar Island lost to Great Britain
there was nothing to do but to have
the cable carried on to the next red
spot on the route, which was flaming
Island, 1861 nautical miles from Van
couver, making the longest stretch OF
cable in the world.

Lame Settler Full Of Pluck

Cheswold. Del. Jan. 16.-Bent on
dabbiing In Delaware fruit.growlng,
and establishing Il home for himself,
James r, Moore, a new settler from
Northern Nav York State, arrived
here few evenings ago. Moore is
alone in the world except for the as
sociation of animals aud is a cripple.
He arrived IN a box car, with his
horse, COW, pigs, fowls household
goods, parlor 6x'ngs and bric-a- brac
and books. He had travelled in that
way for four days.
Moore soon had help enough to
move his effects to the l6.acre Sherry
Carny farm. which he recently pur-
chased four miles west OF Chcsw1ld.
Fortune Qfavored him with mild
weather In getting established in his
new home, and his work will he
watched with interest.

WITH The
B0WLERS.

The Young Mems Republican
C!ubs team of bowlers lowered
its colors to the Y. NJ. c. A. last
night, after a most exciting game
by score Of 2244 to 2197. 1t
should be clearly understood that
the Y. NJ. c. A. outbowled their
opponents and the defeat of the
Republicans was in no wise due
to any bad bowling on their part
as they rolled an average game, as
their total score shows. There
was really only one break in the
bowling of the Republicans, but
such could be expected in any
game and it reflects no discredit
on the team OF the individual play
er, for the entire game was Il great
credit to both sides.
Possibly no game played there
league tllis year has been so ex-
citing as that on the Y. NJ. G. A.
alleys last night. The Young
Mems Republican Club had their
seasoned team and pitted against
them was the Y. M. c. A. five in
their first season. At the end of
the first game it looked as if victory
would perch on the banners of the
II Republicans, because they Won by
)? pins. In the second game the
Y. NJ. G. A. took Il brace and won
by a score Of 7j5 to 724, thus cut
ting down the lead Of the Repub-
llcans to eight pins.
The third game started off with
il rush and for the first six frames
the Republicans led and continued |
to increase the gain they started |
with. In the seventh and eighth
frames every man on the Y. NJ. G.
A. stood up to his work and they
we're frames. In the ninth there
vas Il break, but IN the tenth they
stood up again and made a good
show on theirroll off and this won
or them the game.

CALLED. 4
CONVENTION,

Dover, Del, Jan. 16.-Thc revolu-
tionizing of the shipment of fruits by
the abandonment of the old 1--WE
eights peach basket has created a pro-
found Stir among the farmers. The
recent action Of the Kent County
Grange, followed by that of the Pen
insula Horticultural Society, favoring
a square package for peaches in place
of The half bushel or five eigh,s bush
el basket used on this peninsula for
thirty five years has awakened the
fruit growers into calling u big mass
meeting at Dover on February 6.
Its deliberations will continue all
day and evening, and every crate and
carrier manufacturer in the county is
expected to tell of the advantages of
his wares Peach growers of Delaware
and Maryland, buyers and shippers,
commission men from the East and
manufactures of fruit packages are in
vited to attend.
Friends Of the old five eights basket
hre not hoping to get it back into
favor OF the convention, as without
considering many of its many faults,
The farmers are determined to Keep
In their own pockets next year the
$4,000 that the Pennsylvania Rail
road company had to expend last year
in order to especially fit up slcved
cars for the carriage of 5000, 900 top
heavy baskets of delicate fruit,

fnlly. It has been said repeatedly
I and there Is truth in the saying
! that the poultry department
brings in greater returns for the
money invested than any other de-
partment on the larm. Many homes
will yet be saved BY giving proper
attention to the fowls. They do not
ask for so much care as ior the
right kind of care.

a view to learning from the articles

good road is 10 be made and how
to educate and orgauize's public
opinion for the work. There is no
subject about which there is So
much ignorance. In this State
large sums are spent yearly for
road making, but the mouey is
simply thrown away by reason Of
the essentially incorrect methods
employed. Ordinarily some dirt
Is thrown into the ruts, the more
prominent stones are broken down
and shallow ditch is scooped out
at the slde-and there is the road!
But without draining the roadbcd
and without getting a atone iounda-
ton the work is generally futile.
And without having a skilled man
to supervise the job good method
viii commonly be nulliied oy the
omission Of some important requl-
site. Doubtless every Amesican

Tust Pay Over Fines.

State Auditor Purnal B. Norman,
IS sending to every justice of the
peace in this city, circular calling
attention to the law requiring magis-

several justices in the state have

the state treasurer as promptly as the
law requires. The law reads: every
Justice of the peace shall TRANSMIT to

the first Tuesday in April and Oct.
in each year, duly certified list az
the cases in which any fine or forfeit
