PRACTICAL WORK COMMENCED
AT PEARL HARBOR.
Dredger is in Position and Clam Shell
scooping up Sand by the Cubic
Rood.

The dredging operations for the Pearl
HarbOr channel are now in full progress
The big dredger Is anchored on the
bar and the clam shell scoop has been
at work bringing up the sand since yes
terday morning.
The dredger is moored with big spider
anchors to hold its ponderous bulk i'm
position which seeem to be effectually
doing their duty although the dredger
rolls heavily in the seas at the mouth
of the channel. The enormous clam
shell SCOOP. so named from the likeness
OF It's jaws to the twin sides Of a clam
shell and possibly suggested in imita-
tion Of that molIusc, is doing it's work
most effectively, scOOping up the sand
from the channel bed In great quanti-
ties. So far nothing harder than sand
has been met with, much Of the chan
mel bed as surveyed showing sand holes
of apparently illimitable depth. The
contractors do not expect to be bother
ed with much coral during the cleaning
out of the channel with their giant gou-
ges.
AS the dredger gradually advances
shorewards, advantage will be taken Of
the proximity of the coral reefs to drop
mud hooks in the holes which will
furnish the most stable of holding
grounds. Secure anchorage will be
needed when the dredger gets in the
neck of the channel where the tide rip,
which runs very strongly at the ebb,
will have plenty of play on the large
bulk of the dredger
The work will proceed rapidly now
that it is once started and there will be
no occasion for delays until the channel
is made navigable for the biggest of I'm
Gle Sans war ships. There is no trou-
BILE as to deDth of water as a general
rule, the channel often running down to
depth of twenty fathoms or more; the
difficulty lies in the widening the the
pathway. The contractors believe that
the channel is already established by
natural formation and only needs clear
ing from the deposits of sand that have
silted to the bottom and settled in the
edge f the great rift made in the days
of the volcanic activity gradually clog
ging up the sides until the main chan
mel has been reduced by steady de-
pOsits of sand sitting down through the
centuries since the islands first, in imi-
tation of Britannia's legendary birth,
''arOse from out the azure wave.''
The haena started out with the dred-
ger on Monday but, owing to a strong
westerly wind blowing against the
bulky and heavy dredger was obliged to
put back Another attempt was
promptly made. this time successfully.
The Kaena hailed the Gladys on her re-
turn trip yesterday and anxiously in
quired as to whether the dredger was
holding successfully, the big waves hav-
ing been tossing her like a plaything
when the Kaena left Pearl Harbor. AS
the Nona seems to have blown itself
away to the Antarctic continent with
out fear of repetition the dredger has
no liability of being blown on shore and
the land anchors will effectually prevent
the trade winds from sending her on an
impromptu voyage.

TWO NEW SALOONS
THE TREASURER GRANTS RETAIL
LICENSES.
d. H. Davis and II. N. Crabbe to Open
Places-Executive Council Discusses
Proposed New Limit.

The saloon license business came up
before the Executive council this morn
ing and was discussed % e some length.
though no decision was reached. Trea-
surer Wright submitted "a recommended
tiOn for the establishment of three new
retail license districts. i'm view of the
possibility that the 25 Primo saloons
will have to close. The matter was
talked over and will Doe acted ON at a
future date.
Wright has granted licenses t1 two
proposed new saloons within the pre-
sent limits. One license has been grant-
ed to D. H. Davis and one To II. N.
Crabbe The former will open a gem
eral saloon on Hotel street, at the head
Of Bethel street and Cral Je will locate
at the corner Of King and Nuuanu
The new district proposed by Wright
are on Queen street from South toCoolr
in the block bounded by Beretania and
Aala streets and on Beretania, between
Aala and a point 800 feet Waikiki of Lii
liha street, Wright would open each OF
these districts to general retail liquor
licenses.
An application for a light wine and
beer license from j. X. kaOupua, of Ko-
loa, Kauai was refused, on advice
of the deputy sheriff of Kauai. Albert
X. Nawaki's application for Puma dis
trict was not acted on and the appli-
cation of M. K. Fretas of Lihue, was
referred to the sheriff.

.SEREBRENIK WAS HERE

NJ. - Serebrenik whose card was
found in the purse belonging to the dead
girl whOsObOdy was fOunu under suspl-
cious circumstances in a vacant house
on Sutter street, San Francisco, passed
through Honolulu some time ago on his
way to VladivOstOk in connection with
the engineering interests of the firm to
w hich ne belonged, COrnache, EckfOrd
and Company of Port Arthur.
Serebrenik made several acquaint-
ances in this city whose recollections
were revived at the mention of his
name i'm connection with the case. No
suspicion rests in any way upon young
Slerebrenik who was many hundred
miles away at the time of the crime
The coast papers state that he is being
telegraphed for as 1T is barely possi-
BILE that he can tell how the card came
into the possession of the dead girl"

PAIAI AT A PREMIUM.
Winter Contracts Not Acceptable to the
Twin Brothers"


Twin Brothers"
The return of the Twin Brothers will
probably cause a temporary famine at
the leper settlement and poi will be at a
premium. Herbert Young has express
ed himself as not eager to fulhH his
contract to deliver the paiai in the
winter months at any rate, although he
has given no official intention of throw
ing up the agreement The experience
of the Twin Brothers in eluding con-
stantly threatening disaster shows the
already freely commented on danger
GUS nature of the Molokai coast Meau-
while the natives are the sufferers at
the settlement.
According to the terms of the present
contract the paiai is delivered free at
the various ports when It is transported
to the settlement The claim is made
that II is more trouble for the settle
ment to get the paiai from these ports
To the destination than the contractors
labor under i'm getting 1t to the ports.
Previous conracts necessitated the ac-
ual delivery of the taro at the settle
ment itself.

DRAWBACKS ARE PAU
RULING FROM MR.. DUNNE ON
SHIPPING LAW.
Decides That Vessels Coming From
Atlantic Coast Ports to Hawaiian ISL
ands are in Coasting Business.

According to the opinion filed yester-
day by United States Attorney j. ].
Dunno, drawbacks on coal consumed as
fuel on steamships running between At
lantic ports and here will not be al
lowed in future. This ruling caused no
surprise in customs circles although it
will probably result in an appeal being
taken to the Treasury Department by
those who will be affected.
Some weeks ago Mr. Dunno rendered
an opinion in the case of the ship Helen
Brewer which arrived from New York
without having secured the necessary
crew list. and special register as pro-
vided for by the American laws, that
the vessel was not subject to a fine for
having failed to comply with those
laws for the reason that such a voyage
should be considered as being i'm the
COastng business between American
ports.
According to the custom tariff laws,
vessels engaged in voyages between At
lantic and Pacific ports are allowed
drawbacks on coal consumed during
the voyage. Mr.. Dunno was asked for
an opinion on the matter Of granting
this coal drawback. He reiterates his
former ruling in declaring that vessels
coming from the Atlantic coast to these
islands are i'm cOasting business As a
result the drawback can not be allowed
Such a ruling on the part of the Attor-
ney means that much business to these
ports may be driven to San Francisco
for if it can not be done here then, it
may be decided cheaper to send stuff to
San Francisco and get the drawback
and then re-ship from that port,
The American shipping laws are clear
on this point and decisions by the Trea-
sury Department and United States
courts go to indicate that this is not TO
be considered as Coastwise trade but as
practically the same as a foreign voy-
age,

JAMAICA WANTS
TO Be ANNEXED

The story is current, and so much re-
peated and with such particularly that
it commands attention, that the people
of Jamaica wish to have their little ISL
and annexed to the United States. They
complain that England can no longer
show them the attention and favor they
deserve. They have, therefore passed
resolutions censuring the mother Gov
eminent.
Mr.. Chamberlain has, it is said, Of
fered them $4,000 to tide them over
present distress at which they are in
dignant. This is followed by open eX-
preston in favor of asking the United
States to take over the colony.
1t is very doubtful if we want it, We
could not take it without the consent
of England except a successful reVOlu-
ton against her interviewed. Jamaica is
unquestiOnably in distress. Her mar
kets are ruined. Her chief staples no
longer yield a profit, owing to tariff dis
examinations. She wants the advantage
of our market, even if it is gained at
the expense of material industries of
the American people
There are about 100000 inhabitants
of the island, of whom only $4,000 are
whites. The principal Industries of the
island are found in production of
sugar and citrus fruits. Therefore, the
proposition to take over the island
would involve us in the same order of
contention through which we have just
passed in the matter of reciprocity with
Cuba.
AS public opinion now expresses itself
the people do not want Jamaica. Its
chief value to us would be as a straJe-
gic naval point. Perhaps it is of
minor Importance whether we have that
or not, since with our treaty relations
with Cuba, our points of vantage grant
ed us there, with Porto Rico in our
hands and the Danish West Indies

THE ARMY IN HAWAII
sALvATIONISTs TELL OF THEIR
EFFORTS.
Major George Wood Gives Figures of
Work in the Islands-The Attendance
Has Increased Largely

Major George Wood of the Salvation
Army, who was in charge of the work
here for about two years and recently
returned to San Francisco, published
in the last War Cry the following re-
view of what the army has done in Ha-
wall since it began active work here
after annexation was completed:
I'm reviewing the past two years and
a half we see much to thank God for,
even if we did not accomplish all we
had hoped. Some 1,430 persons of all
ages, nationalities and conditions knelt
at our petinent-forms seeking salvation
and a clean heart; out of these we are
able to more than double our Senior
soldiers roll, secure fourteen candi-
dates for the work and double the NUM-
Der of officers. No new corps were
opened, but those already in operation
were largely extended, so that the num-
Der of open-airs has increased from
twenty-five to thirty-one, and the at
tendance at these has gone up from 1874
to 20S. The indoor attendance also rose
from $40 to LAO. The circulation of our
publications nearly trebled, from 929 to
2,642, being divided up as follows: Anne
rican, 665 to 1,435; Japanese, so to 675;
German % to So; Spanish, none to 30;
Young Soldier, 1872 to 444.
1.-THE work amongst the children
shows most encouraging advance. The
number of Junior meeting held weekly
going from to %; Junior soldiers 4
to 26; companies, s to 81; total attend
ance, rs to $685. Band of Love members,
none to So; corps cadets, none to 8.
"On material lines, we have seen
ground secured and a hall and quarters
erected on Kauai, for the headquarters
of the Koloa circuit. The Rescue Work
has been inaugurated and a splendid
home opened in Honolulu, while a GER
tain prominent financier has now un-
der consideration the erecting of hall
and shelter for our use in the city
When we arrived, our rough riders
We're travelling with borrowed horses,
while now the Army owns seven horses
of is own, with good brakes, harness,
etc.
I'm these results we have to thank
under God, our comrades the officers
and soldiers who, by their hard and
| faithful toll, have brought them about
| and our friends, who, by their. sym
pa,hy and practical help have made
them possible. The term spent here
has been one of the most blessed in all
| our experience. 1t will be long before
we shall forget the sight of those
familiar faces grouped on the wharf,
and the sounds of the sweet strains of
God be with you till we meet again
that fioated to us as the SOnOma pulled
| out. God bless the islands and their
| people is our prayer"
