ACTIVITY AMONG
SAILING FLEET
Sugar Carriers Standing Off From
the Man Who Collects
the Taxes.

There is considerable activity about
the vessels of the sailing feet now in
port, owing to the fact that number
of them must get away before the first
of the year in order that the owners of
the sugar may not be Obliged to pay
property taxes on it in Hawaii. There
are fair number of vessels in port.
The schooner Alice Cooke arrived in
port yesterday after a passage of
twenty-three days from the Sound,
bringing cargo OF $50 telegraph poles
and lumber. During the first part of
the vessels passage she met with con-
siderable bad weather.
The bark R. P. Rithet. Captain Me-
Phail, sailed for San Francisco at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, with a car
go of $4,000 bags of sugar. The bark
e1ltine John L. Eyiston, Captain Ram
selius, left during the afternoon in
ballast for Eureka to load lumber, but
the vessels skipper does not know yet
what the destination will be after
leaving Eureka.
The bark Alden Besse will sail for
the Coast some time today with q. CARGO
of sugar, and it is likely that the
barkentine S. N Castle will also get
away with sugar some time during the
day. The barkentine Archer is also
loading sugar. The bark Edward May
was to have sailed from MakavFeli the
first of this week with q fair cargo of
sugar. The bark Martha Davis il load
ing sugar lat Kailua for San francisco.
The bark Mauna Ala is also loading
sugar here for San Francisco

TO Be Depended On
Because It IS the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
yestigated.

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence on the di-
rections given him by a local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is natural conse-
quence of experience; it's like a ship
in a strange port-a trusty pilot fami-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
lngs. So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for it's
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence
| like the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. F. Williams of THIS city, is a
| lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
| position for the last so years. He SAYS:
I was for number of Years. one of
| that numerous army of people who
| suffer with their. backs. Mine ached
and panied me to no small extent, so
| that was glad when I heard of rem
| edy for it, DOan's Backache Kidney
| Pills. obained some of these at the
| HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store, and took
| them They gave me great relief. and
make this short narration of my ex-
| periences for the benefit of others who
! perhaps do not know that nearly all
oackache arises from the kidneys, and
| the best medicine for it is Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills.
| Doan's Baekache Kidney Pills are
90 cents per box, for sale by all drug
gtsts; sent by mail on receipt of price

FRENCH BOUNTY
EARNING VESSELS
What Makes II Hard Tor Other
Ships to Com
pete.

Editor Advertiser. The coming of
bounty earners to this port during the
past few months has caused much talk
in shipping circles regarding the ina
bility of American and English ships
to compete in foreign trade with these
subsidized vessels, and as agent of
these vessels have often been asked to
explain just what advantage they had
over ships of other nationalities.
In order to foster and encourage the
upbuilding CT a large merchant ma
rine the French Chamber Of Deputies,
during the session of 1899, passed a
bill the provisions of which granted a
\ subsidy to all ships built in French
ship yards for French owners during
the years 1900, 1901, 1902. The sub
sidy is to be paid over period of ten
years, dating from 1900, and is calcu-
lated on the following basis:
The first year IL francs, or, roughly,
in American money, "a cents, per gross
ton register is paid for each II 900 miles
sailed from port to port distance
measured by great circle route. Each
succeeding year the subsidy is decreas-
| ed .06 francs; that is to say, the second
year the ship would be paid 1928 cents
per gross ton register for each 1000
miles covered.
Owing to the fact that the subsidy
| is paid on the gross tonnage, it is the
endeayor of the builders to furnish the
ships with all possible superstructure,
which does not carry freight but does
earn subsidy An instance of this was
seen on the ship Champigny, lately in
this port. The net registered tonnage
of this ship was 2,445. tons, while the
gross measured $500 tons. 1t might
here be stated that an American or
English ship measuring 2,445 tons net,
would not ordinarily gross more than
| 2, 700 tons. Thus. it will be seen that
the builders added ON space above
decks which measures about 700 tons
for the purpose of increasing the
bounty earning capacity.
+ The ship Champigny brought cargo
of coal from Cardiff. Wales, to Homo
lulu, on which she earned freight
amounting to about $4,000. At the
|same time she rolled up a government
bounty amounting to s13,545.e0, calcu-
dated as follows:
/ Gross tonnage, 3,s2oxS2 cents equals
| sI12s.S0, subsidy for 1000 miles; dis
teaoe. approximately, from Cardiff u
Honolulu, $4,000 miles, gives us thu
total subsidy; $1,12S.sO multiplied b,
| II equals s13,545.6O.
/ These figures are startling when i
| is considered that these classes of ship
are in direct competition with Amer
lean and English ships that derive n,
subsidy from their home governments
and must depend entirely on thei
freight earnings TO exist and pay div
idends to their owners

We STRETCHED HIS
SOUNDING LINE
Got Thirty Seven Fathoms OF
Water With a Lire Only
Twenty Long.

A good story is going the rounds
concerning an officer OF one of the
Maru steamers. When arriving here
recently she picked up the pilot some
distance off port, and IN coming
towards the anchorage the pilot asked
an officer for soundings.
A man was sounding with line
twenty fathoms in length.
How many fathoms?" asked the
pilot
..Thirty-seven fathoms, sir was :esii,e
quick response.
How long is your line?"
Twenty fatnoms, SIR
We'll, if your line is only twenty
fathoms, how do you make it reach
thirty-seven fathoms?'' queried the
pilot.
No reply is recorded, but an officer
was heard to, say, later: 1T all comes
through having japanese hanging
around and posing as officers
And Captain Going of the America
Maru said a few things.

Cans Whips Frederick.

Baltimore, Jan. 3--Thomas Broder-s ick, of Yonkers, was knocked out to-8 night by Joe Cans, of this city, in the sixth round of a fight scheduled for twenty rounds at the Eureka Athletic club Broderick was the aggressor for the first two rounds and knocked Cans down in the second with right swing on the jaw, Cans staying down the liln~ it. Then Cans went in to finish his man, but Frederick was shifty. There was lively intighting in the fifth round and a stiff uppercut on the chin sent Frederick down for the limit Just af<<al ter the opening of the sixth round Cana showed Broderick's face with his lefts and landed hard right chop on the jaw, which put the Yonkers man down and out.

VICTORY FOR AMALGAMATED.
Injunction Restraining Payment of
 Dividends ts Dissolved.


 Butte, Mont. Jan 3.--Judge Knowles, in the United States court, has dissolv- ed the injunction which John Macgin- his, a minority stockholder of the Bos- ton and Montana Mining company, had obtained rto prevent the payment of dividends to the Amalgamated Copper company and to prevent the latter and it's officials from voting stock and con- trolling the affairs of the Boston and Montana company. Several million dol lars in dividends were tied up by the injunction. Judge Knowles decided that Macgnnis and Lamm had no right to complain and he also enjoins them from prosecuting similar suit now pending in the district court until the one in the United States court shall be finally disposed of. This latter suit had been originally brought in the district court, but, the Amalgamated company being a foreign corporation, the case was removed to the federal court.
 Judge Knowles has ordered the Amal- gamated company to make formal appearance in the case on or before the first Monday in February, or he will re- mand the case to the district court for want of jurisdiction. Under the decis- ion of Judge Knowles the accumulated dividends in the treasury of the Boston and Montana company may now be dis tributed to the stockholders and it es- tablishes the legal standing of the Amalgamated company and decides that it can hold stock in the Montana companies.

ship Building in United states.

Washington, Jan. 3.-During the SIX months ended December 31, 1901. there were built in the United States and or ficially numbered by the bureau of nav igation 717 rigged vessels of 154,O73 gross tons compared with 56S rigged vessels of 179,229 gross tons for the cor responding six months of 1900. Canal baots and unrigged barges are not in- cluded. The principal decline, 19,752 tons, is on the Atlantic seaboard, and IS attributable to work on several large ocean steamers, which will be complet- ed during the coming six months.

 Copenhagen, Jan. 5.-The Danneborg, owned by the minister of justice, pub fishes an editorial to-day. deprecating the demand for plebiscite on the sub feet of the sale of the Danish West In- dies. based on the same privilege being claimed for Schleswig.
