ANOTHER "YELLOW DAY. I"

Present Conditions Rival Those of
September @, 1881, When it Looked
as If Lawns had Been Painted.
Nearly two months of continued
drought in this section of the country
has made the woods throughout New
York, New England and New jersey
as dry as tinder, and miles of forest
land are blazing and spreading dense
cloud of smoke over the sky, and part
of the cloud has reached this city in
such degree as to recall the "yellow
day. of September &, 1881, when the
atmosphere was so murky that all the
world seemed yellow and Boston Com
mon looked as though the grass was
coated with yellow paint.
A heavy yellowish haze overhung
this section and no other proof than
the smarting of the eyes was necessary
to satisfy everyone that it was smoke.
Warren county has large fires. but
the present disagreeable conditions are
said to be caused by the big fires in

THE FOLLY
TO BE FEARED

A friend and supporter of the dis
barred attorney, George A. Davis,
writes the following with reference to
published reports that there was pistol
talk in connection with the disbarment
eases tried here:
"The community did not and does not
today know that Andrews has anything
to fear but the folly of his press
agents"
On July 80 in the Supreme Court
George A Davis, standing in a threat
ening attitude close to Lorrin Andrews
and answering a sarcasm on the SUP
ject of his pistol pocket bluff, said in
substance: The pistol will be there
some time
In view of this. the only ASSUMPTION
on which Mr.. Davis's friends can say
that Andrews has nothing to fear is
that the statements of Davis are not
worth any attention. If that is the case
then the folly is that of Davis and not
that of those who are absurdly termed
''press agents" If Davis is so ire

FOUNDER OF THE r. C. MISSION
When Father Bachelot returned TO
these Islands in 1887, after an absence

Southern California, as a present from
the franciscan monks with whom he
had passed the time, certain slips and
seeds of plants which, it was thought.

COMMERCIAL NEWS )

The plantation consolidation which
was projected TO be known as the Ha-
waiian Securities Co, Incorporated I'M
der the laws of New Jersey. has now
been definitely abandoned The recent
big slump on the New York stock mar
ket is the primary cause for the with
drawal of the proposal made nearly
year ago TO the stockholders of four of
the best Maui plantations. It is barely
possible that at some future time an
effort may be again made to carry
through the scheme, or some similar
proposition.
P. c. Jones, to whom is given credit
for evolving the plan. said yesterday:
The Hawaiian Securities Co. plan has
been dropped. The busting of the ship
building trust. the slump in industrials
and the 'undigested securities as Mr..
Morgan put it, has made it unwise to
attempt the consolidation now. Then
there We're stockholders in some planta-
tions who opposed the plan. though we
had majority in each of the four COM
panies. Still one man who owned ten
dollars worth of stock would have to
be reckoned with outside the company.
which made the unanimous consent of
all owners to be desired We had a
meeting, and in view of the condition
of the New York market, decided that
it was not wise to attempt the floating
of the company there at this time 1t
would not have been possible probably
to dispose of the securities in New
York and there would be the expense
of offices, tax and reports. with no re-
turn. 1t looked like good thing, and
would have been a good thing, for
stockholders in one plantation would
have had the others to depend upon, in
case one of them had bad year.
The Hawaiian Securities Co. was to
have been the name of the company
which was to have taken over four of
the Brewer & Co. plantations: Hawai-
ian Agricultural, Waikiki Sugar. Ono
mea Sugar and Honomu Sugar Co. The
plan was to organize a corporation I'M
der the liberal laws of New Jersey with
a capital of s120OO,000. The plan
originally was to place the stock on
the New York market where it would
be given a value, which quotations on
the local and coast markets did not
give.
A PLAN OF COLLECTIONS.
Some of the merchants are talking of
a collection Day" and the Merchants
Association may take the matter M
soon. The plan is to designate one day
in each month as a collection dav on
which all bills are to be paid. At ores-
ent the larger corporations, principally
the plantation agencies. have individ-
ual days for paying bills and it is diff
cult to get the old firms to see the adj
vantage of a change. Years ago under
the passport system it was easy for
anyone to get credit, and as long as
the creditor didn't try to leave the
country there was no thought of ask
ing him to pay his bills. Now the pass
port system is no longer in vogue, and
the writ of ne exeat has also been held
illegal, merchants have no check upon
the men to whom they extend credit.
For some time they have been en-
deavoring to bring business down TO
thirty-day basis, but SO far without
success.
