BIGGEST COALING
JOB ON RECORD
FORTY-FIVE DUMP CARTS AT
WORK HAULING COAL TO TWO
BATTLESHIPS AND A CRUISER.

The biggest job of coaling that has
ever been attempted in Honolulu is
now in progress. Three warships are
being coaled at the Naval wharves and
the Pacific Mail wharf and all hands
of the shore crowd are kept jumping
trying to keep up with the demand
from the vessels for coal. why you
simply can't stop that Kentucky de-
clared w. II. Hogs who has charge
of hauling the coal to the ships. She
simply eats it right up as fast as we
can land it,"
The Kentucky evidently can consume
coal as fast as the Blue Grass State
does whiskey-she was christened with
whiskey by the way when she was
launched at Newport News The
vessel has the record for fast coaling.
Her record was something over 200
tons an hour, feat which Seems we'll
night incredible. The vessel is equip
ped with the latest appliances however
for getting the coal aboard rapidly and
ii is not surprising that she can take
coal faster than any other vessel in
the fleet. She has electrical cranes
that enable her crew TO get the coal
aboard almost twice as fast as could
be done with the steam appliances.
The flagship, the KENTUCKY, is at
Naval wharf No. l. She is taking 1,2O0
tons She has been averaging about
$50 tons an hour. over at Naval
wharf No. 2 on the Waikiki side, is
the battleship Wisconsin at work re-
ceiving 1850 tons, while at the Pacific
Mail wharf lies the other flagship the
New Orleans receiving 500 tons. The
vessels are being loaded from both
sides. There are As dump carts haul
ing coal as fast as possible The Naval
and Army scows are being constantly
loading with coal to supply the blg
ships 1t is expected that the Ken
lucky win finish coaling this after
noon The Wisconsin can not coal so
fast and she will not complete this
work until tomorrow The New Or
leans may also get through this af-
ternoon
No attempt is being made to coal the
four vessels out in Naval row. IL Is
simply out of the question to do so.
There are not enough appliances on
hand and those boats will have to lie
idle until after the two fagships and
the Wisconsin are through
As soon as the New Orleans is
through coahng she will move over
and anchor in Naval Row, The bat
tleship Oregon will then go over to
the Pacific Mail wharf In the place
formerly occupied by the cruiser and
begin to take on coal. The Oregon
will load about HOO tons. The Gin

Officers Are Hungry;
Want Chinese Ashore
CABLED TO WASHINGTON YESTERDAY ASKING PERMIS-
SION FOR THE CHINESE STEWARDS OF THE FLEET
TO BE ALLOWED ASHORE HERE TO LAY IN STOCK
OF FRESH PROVISIONS FOR OFFICERS

All of the officers on the American
fleet are anxiously awaiting cable ad-
vices from Washington. Strange to re-
late these advices which are being so
anXiously awaited are not regarding
the future movement of the fleet, but
relate to the movement of the Chinese
stewards aboard the various vessels.
Every vessel has Chinese stewards
employed. Naturally when the vessels
arrived i'm port yesterday the officers
We're eagerly looking forward to the
prospect of enjoying some of the fresh
est dainties that could be found in lIo-
nolulu markets. TO their chagrin it
was announced that no Chinese stew
ards no matter whether they wanted to
buy food for the officers or not, could
be permitted ashore. The situation was
one of universal dismay. What corn
beef again." exclaimed the officers.
There was no help for it. The few
officers who could get ashore on leave
awaited themselves of the opportunity
last night and lost no time in visiting
the various hotels and enjoying good
square meal ashore. Admiral Evans

CURSE.ON THE HOUSE
OF STAIR REMOVED
THIRD SON WILL INHERIT PROP
ERTY TIED UP FOR TWO HUN
DRIED YEARS.

LONDON, December 6. The death
of the aged Earl of Stair Thursday at
Lochinch Castle, near Stranraer re-
calls the grim legend to which was
attached a curse which is said to have
ever since Swallowed the Earl of Stair
until the succession IF the one now
passed away. The first Earl was the
leader most responsible for the mas
sacre of Glencoe in 1892 He had three
sons. The curse was that no future
Earl should have three sons until the
sins of the first had been fully eyn.
ated. The old Earl, in derision, tied
up certain property so it could only be
inherited by the third son of an Earl
of Stair.
That was over 200 years ago. There
have been nine earls since. OF these
one had two sons, one had one m,
and the rest, with the exception of the
late Earl, had no sons at all. But he
had four. Thus his tmrd son, Colonel
Dalmample, came in for the whole of
the long-tied up fortune which has
been accommodating in value all these
years.

IS
VERY DULL
HOLT SAYS THAT NOVEMBER HAS
BEEN DEAD AND PROSPECTS
ARE DECEMBER WILL BE.

Shipping is remarkably dull The
conditions that have prevailed for a
month past are about the quietest that
have been known in years. Shipping
Commissioner b. Griggs Holt has had
practically nothing to do. So far as
the labor connected with the position is
concerned there has been but slight use
in keeping open the office.
Following is what Commissioner Holt
has to say regarding the present con-
ditions, and prospects.
This is one of the dullest months
Honolulu has experienced in number
of years while November made a good
showing for a full month and a dull
season, l have so far shipped but eight
men and discharged but ten and from
present indications December bids fair
to show the poorest record of any
month in years.
THE tonnage in port is but 5000
While for the same time for last year
the port tonnage aggregated 1888 and
that for the same time 1901, II 337.
Shipping tables of tonnage to arrive is
in almost inverse ratio. The tonnage
on the way at this time being 60 24S
with that for 1902, 43, 636 and the same
time in 1901, 46O59.
The last deep sea vessels to arrive
was the German bark Solide November
16 and the one before that the German
training ship Herzogin Sophie Char
lotte November S While the previous
deep sea vessel arrived October 8,
which was the bark Louisiana with
coal from Australia. This will not
of course cover the Agostina Terrizona

ALICE NELSON
IN DIRE STRAITS
AMERICAN SINGER STUDYING
AND SAYS THAT SHE WILL RE-
TURN ONLY AS OPERA STAR.

LONDON, December 7.-Since Alice
Nielsen, the American singer, left the
Shaftesbury Theater where she had
tempestuous time two years ago,
she has been residing in Italy. Re
siding is perhaps a rose-colored way
of putting it. Battling TO reXistence"
is more graphic description.
1t is said that at times she and her
maid have lived on as little as a dollar
day in order to have the where
withal to pay for a musical education.
She is a pupil of Henry Russell, an
English vocal instructor at Naples.
Miss Nielsen has declared that she
will return to America only as a grand
opera prima donna. There have been
rumors that she was negotiating with
the American comic opera managers,
but she denies this. 1t is learned that
Miss Nielsen has made arrangements
to appear in grand opera at Milan next
autumn. She has already sung Mar
guerite in Faust" and has appeared
in "Traviata."

sHARPENED WITH TEETH.
A Woman a Pencil and Circumstantial
Evidence

Pudd'nhead Wilson once remarked
that circumstantial evidence might
prove that y woman sharpened pencil
with a knife though inspection would
lead one to think that she did so with
her teeth. Pudd nhead and his calen-
dar of quaint sayings are well known
and the play tonight is fun of them.
Mark Twain achieved additional fame
and Frank Mayo reached it when the
play of Pudd'nhead Wilson was first
presented.
In tonight's presentation the char
acters seem happily distributed. james
Neill of course plays the title role while
Miss Chapman has the tempestous
Roxy to impersonate. Burton plays
part originally intended for him
while Miss Andrews, Bowles, Lewis and
Bloomquest are well suited. The bill
will be presented twice.
The management has decided to play
the Lottery of Love-" on Saturday
night, believing that the sprightly
farce will better please as an opening
bill, the naval audience which they ex-
pect to play to.

to his rescue and took him out to din

Admiral Evans was very anxious to
have the Chinese stewards permitted
ashore. He even offered to send guards
ashore with them to insure their return
to the boats. The inspectors were obdu-
rate. 1t was finally suggested that the
Department of Commerce and Labor

Such a cable was sent to the Depart
ment yesterday. The situation was
briefly stated to Secretary Cortelyou
and he was asked if an exception in the
Chinese laws could not be made in the
ease of the fleet. No reply had been re-
ceived up to noon today. There will
probably be great rejoicing if the an
swer be favorable to the officers of the
boats. one thing is certain, if the Chi
nese stewards are not permitted ashore
the work of provisioning the fleet will
be more troublesome to the officers than
had been expected.
