OFFERINGS OF
FREIGHT BETTER
BUSINESS WITH SAILING YES
Sells Is PICKING UP II Low
RATES ATTRACT SHIPPERS.


BUSINESS for the sailing vessels is
picking up. The prospects for the sail
ing vessels securing some of their old
time business are very bright now and
FOR some time to come at least vessels
from San Francisco will probably ar
rive with full cargoes, the same as pre-
vailed during the good old days"
The bark Mohican was the first OF
the sailing fleet to arrive with an old
time amount of cargo. She brought a
full load Of general merchandise from
San Francisco last month. The bark
Martha Davis which was formerly on
the Hilo-San Francisco run has been
taken off and put on the Honolulu run.
She is now out II days with a full car
go. The Planters Line had so much
freight to be shipped that the Martha
Davis had TO be called into service.
The bark Gerard G. Tobey is now on
the way from San Francisco with a
full cargo. The bark Andrew Welch
is on the berth to load at San Fran
cisco 70: this port. The Welch will re-
ceive full cargo. Other lines are re-
ported to be enjoying some of the sud
den increase in business.
The exact cause for the increase is
not certain. 1t is thought very prob
able that the last cut that was made
by the sailing vessels to $3.50 a ton is
now bearing fruit and that the recen!
heavy shipments in sailing vessels
means return by many shippers to
those bottoms.
The steamship people say they are in
the business to stay, however, and they
propose 20 hold onto their present busi-
ness, as well as increase the amount OF
freight hauling done by them.

LOSES HIS CLOTHES.

Lee Hong, a Chinese, was arrested
this morning to await investigation by
the police. He is charged with having
clothes belonging to "A Japanese in his
possession. Some weeks ago during a
fire on Liliha street near King, the
japanese thought that his place would
be destroyed so he began to throw
chairs, sake tubs and clothes out of the
window. After the fire had been ex-
tinguished the Japanese could not re-
cover all of his belongings. Among
the articles missing were some clothes.
Today he discovered, so he claimed,
that Lea had few of the clothes. Lee
is supposed to have picked the clothes
off the street and retired with them
during the excitement incidental to the
fire

KuHIQ Will RETURN

Prince Kuhio will make a trip to
headquarters in Honolulu before going
on to Maui. This was announced at
Republican headquarters this morning.
The delegate-elecL leaves Hawaii on
the Claudine and will leave Honolulu
for Maui on Wednesday next after
getting in touch with things political
at the fountain head.
Prince Kuhio's return Is eagerly look
ed forward to by politicians who are
anxious to. hear from his own lips the
prospects of a successful campaign.
Careful comparison between his meth
DDS and those of the Home Rule party
will be instituted and measures taken
to Illustrate those of the Home Rulers.
The prince will be posted with the lat
est developments in the Wilcox leper
settlement affair and the Home Ruler's
words before the commission. This will
be made a feature of the rest of the
campaign.
1t was thought advisable all round
for the prince to get in touch with the
center of the party before going fur
ther both for retrospective and pros
pective views. While he Is here the
occasion for big rally may be taken
up by local Republicans. The desires
of politicians and voters on the big ISL

the Central Committee who can con-

The government employees who failed
to get their September salary by rea-
son of the absence of a head to the De-
partment of Public Works, viii prob
ably all get their money this afternoon
or tomorrow.
Special Agent of the Governor Henry
f. Cooper, Immediately on his appoint
ment as such yesterday took up the
outcast and orphaned payrols to see
whether they ought to be approved or
not. Each payroll was carefully gone
over, and the head of the bureau for
which it was sent up was called to go
over the items and make it clear that
the payrolls were proper. When this
was completed the payrolls as approved
were sent to the auditors Office where
the entire force almost, was put at
work getting out the warrants. This
was quite a job as there were many
of them and the total amount they
called for, $2S000 had to be carefully
checked over. Deputy Auditor Meyers
spent his lunch hour signing the war
rants. During the afternoon as fast
as the warrants for any bureau were
ready that bureau was notified.
1t was announced that Special Agent
Cooper had arranged with Acting Trea-
surer Cooper that these warrants when
delivered would be paid at once by the
treasury without waiting for Saturday
which according to the regular usages
of the treasury department would be
the next day at which salary warrants
would be cashed This arrangement
was very much appreciated by those
to whom the money was due, to many
of whom the unexpected hold-up of the
payrolls was quite an embarrassment

VETERINARIAN RETURNS.

Dr. W. Il. Monsarrat Board of Health
Veterinarian returned yesterday by the
Ventura from a three months trip TO
the mainland during which he attend
ed the annual convention of the Anne
rican Veterinarian Association at Min
neapolis early in September.
The convention was in session for
five days" said DIR. Monsarrat this
morning, "and a finer body of men I
never saw. Among the prominent men
We're the Dominion Veterinarian of
Canada and the heads of the veterinary
departments of nearly all the prOmi-
nent universities of the United States,
including Harvard, Cornell, the Uni
versty of Pennsylvania and other in
stitutions of like character.
Before going to the convention, L
spent some time in the Kentucky Blue
Grass region, the home of the tho
roughbred horse. 1t certainly was a
pleasure to see the high class horses of
which there are so many in that re-
giOn."

The TAX PAYERS LOSE

1t now appears that the shortage of
Walter A. Wright as deputy tax col
lector on Kauai has been decreased by
$500 and the shortage of William II.
Wright treasurer has been increased by
the same amount. Assessor Conant
collected $3.50 of the supposed shortage
of $2,S4S of Walter A. Wright and sent
it to Treasurer Wright and got a re-
ceipt for it. 1t now appears that trea-
surer Wright never accounted for it to
the treasury. The difference it makes
to the public is that Walter A. Wright
being under bonds his shortage is Sc
cured, while that of William II. Wright
who was not under bonds is not secur-
ed.
Assessor Pratt has nothing to do with
the tax collections on the other ISL
ands, the collectors on those islands re-
porting directly to the treasurer by
whom they are appointed and not by
Assessor Pratt.

WRIGHT HELD FOR.
TRIAL THIS
MORNING
NO DEFENSE WAS OFFERED AND
JUDGE SATISFIED THAT ENOUGH
EVIDENCE WAS PRESENTED TO
HOLD CLERK FOR TRIAL.

B. H. Wright was committed by
Judge Wilcox for trial by the First
Judicial Circuit on the charge of em-
bezzlement at the conclusion of the
preliminary hearing this morning.
Assistant Attorney General Cathcart
conducted the case for the prosecution
this morning, Mr.. Douthitt, who OPEN
ed and rested the case for the prosecu-
tion on Saturday last, being absent on
government business elsewhere.
c. w. Ashford, for the defense, stat
ed that they had nothing to offer in
the way of evidence or testimony, and
left the matter to the court.
Mr.. Cathcart made brief statement
TO the effect that the defendant should.
be committed to trial on the case as
presented by the prosecution.
Judge Wilcox thereupon held that the
evidence as adduced before him was
he thought, sufficient to secure an in
dictment against the defendant by jury
trial. HE therefore committed the de-
fendant for trial by the court of the
First judicial Circuit"
Wright appeared in good health and
spirits. He does not exhibit any signs
of nervousness or worr!ment. He states
that he regrets the leaving of Treasur-
er Wright for parts unknown and
it had lain in his power to prevent his
departure.
1t is rumored that Wright's counsel
have obtained information that will
show Wright to have been acting mere
ly at the instigatIon of others. The ru-
NOR reappeared yesterday with the
statement that Wright had much less
cause for worry than others VINO were
not in his position.
1t is also claimed that when b. H.
Wright took over his office as chief
clerk, he took over in lieu of cash a
number of l. o. US of long standing.
These he did not repudiate for fear of
offending his superiors and losing the
job and its emoluments. The $4,000
check, 1t is said, went directly 20 make
make good shortages in other depart
ments more likely of immediate inves-
tigation or show of delinquency than
the account OF the chief clerk of the
Public Works office. Some one in au-
thority ordered Wright, it is claimed
by his friends, to make over the check
and took the responsibility. Who, what
and where this responsible" person is,
is to be solved at the trial of b. H.
Wright.

THE GHOST WALKED TODAY
Sllverton And
Her Big Load
Of Coast Grain

SAN FRANCISCO, Septem-
Der 20.-A cablegram from Lon
don announces that the British
steamer Silverton, carrying -the
cable that is to connect the Ha-
waiian Islands with this coast
will sail for San Francisco to-
day. The ship should reach here
early in December, and if all
goes well Uncle Sam should be
able to send a New Years greet
ing to the people of Honolulu.
The cable is wound on three
spools and is 2413 miles long.
Its weight is 10000 tons and the
strands are from one to three
inches in diameter.
The SilvertOn was in this port
several years ago, coming here
after a cable-laying cruise in
the Antipodes. There was much
speculation as to what a big
brute like she wanted on this
coast. but it was not of long
duration. The late William
Dresbach, one of the most dar-
ing grain operators in the
history of the State and coun-
try had fixed the Silver
ton secretly, and soon after
her arrival he announced the
fact to a greatly disconnected
lot of rivals. The vessel took
home 10000 tons of wheat. which
up to this time remains the
largest single cargo of that COM
modify to have ever gone
through the Golden Gate.

TO REGULATE
THE INVOICES
BROKER JOHNSTON
GOES TO YOKOHAMA TO REPRE-
SENT JAPANESE MERCHANTS.

H. ]. Johnston, the customs broker,
accompanied by NJ, Hiroka, will make
a trip to Japan on the S. S. Doric this
week. This trip is of special signili-
canoe tu both Japan and Honolulu,
as he is going as the special represent
atiVe of the Japanese Merchants AS
sociatiofr of Hawaii
The various Japanese shippers do not
appear TO understand the details con-
nected with the shipment of goods into
this country in conformity with the
American regulations. Numerous mis-
takes in the manner of making Out the
manifests and in some instances in
packing the goods, have occurred.
Some times these errors are serious
enough to be considered violations of
the regulations and fines have in GER
tain instances been levied The idea in
sending Mr.. Johnston to Japan is to
have him confer with the various Jap
anese shippers and explain to them
the details of the system in vogue at
American ports, so that in future no
mistake will occur.
While the errors do not in every in
stance call for a fine, still they cause
much annoyance to the customs peo-
pie as well as the consignees at this
port. Other details connected with the
shipment of goods TO this port from
Japan, will be explained by Mr.. john
ston. He will be absent about 60 days.
Mr.. Johnston will first go to Yokoha-
ma and from there visit Kobe and 9TH
er Japanese places.
The Japanese Merchants Association
rendered Mr.. Johnston a farewell ban
quet last evening at the residence of
Mr.. Kojima on Nuuanu street near
School. K. j. Imanichi of the Yokoha-
ma Specie Bank presided. Numerous
customs officials and prominent Japan
ese merchants were present.

FEED SUPPLY SHORT,

The supply of hay and grain is run
ming quite low in Honolulu For the
last few sailing boats little if any of
this feed has been imported from San
Francisco. The cause of the shortage
of import, is the high prices which are
now prevailing in California for the
stEff. Tie local dealers are holding off
in hopes that the prices will fall. There
is sufficient feed on hand, it is said,
10 tide them along for the present so
the shipments have been curtailed
lately.
