GEAR CLOSED
THE STREET

During the trial of the Jones case
this morning Judge Gear made an or
der closing Militant street, in the block
including the Judiciary building, to
all vehicles, from nine to twelve and
from half past one to six. He ordered
that policemen be stationed at either
end of the block to stop adj wagons
and other vehicles. on account of the
Interruptions caused by the noise they
make.
The policemen were stationed by
High Sheriff Brown, according to the
courts order, and there was an i'm
mediate howl louder than the noise of
wheels, though it never reached the
court. 1t was soon found that one
officer couldn't handle the job at King
and Militant streets and two were
placed on duty. Every dray, hack.
buggy or other vehicle that started
down the block was turned back Some
of the drivers resisted and some tried
to run over the policemen All Of
them registered a kick. There were
arguments about rights" of the peo-
pie which feel on deaf ears, for the

was disguised. But Sam Parker came
to his rescue and took him out to din
ner.
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
under whose jurisdiction the Chinese
Exclusion Act comes, be asked to per-
NIT the Chinese stewards to go ashore
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
case 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.

policemen carried out orders without
any regard to the effect on rights.
Judge 4Gear proposes to keep the or
der in effect during the trial. Many
times during the hearing of the present
case the entire proceedings have been
interrupted by passing wogans. The
wagons come rafting into the block
while an attorney or witness in speak
ing and no voice can be heard in the
court. The order was made this morn
ing during a statement by Dunno, when
the attorneys voice was completely
drowned by a passing dray Gear
called for Chillingworth and told him
10 station officers to keep all vehicles

The interruption of court proceedings
by these noises on the street Is an old
source of complaint. Militant street
is used by many heavy wagons on
their way to and from the water
front. The order made this morning
is applicable all the time that the
court is in session. One suggested
remedy is to have the block specially
paved, so that the wagons would not
make so much noise.

SHIPPING IS
VERY DULL
HOLT SAYS THAT NOVEMBER HAS
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 a number
of years while November made a good
showing for full month and a dull
season, | 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 $3.50
while for the same time for last year
the port tonnage aggregated 1898 and
that for the same time 1901, 1881.
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, a., 636 and the same
time i'm 1901, 46,059.
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
arriving November Is and leaving a
few days thereafter for Makaweli for
discharge"

All of the officers on the American
fleet are anXiously awaiting cable adj
vices from Washington. Strange to re-
late these advces 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 in port yesterday the officers
were eagerly looking forward to the
prospect of enjoying some of the fresh
est dainties that could be found in IIo-
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 a good
square meal ashore. Admiral Evans

INSPECTORS
ARE TABOOED

Customs inspectors are conspicuous
by their absence about the warshlps
and naval reservation. The absence of
the inspectors is due 70 on agreement
which was reached yesterday by Ad-
miral Evans, the commander of the
fleet, and Collector Stackable of this
port.
The two officials held a conference on
the subject of possible smuggling. At
ter viewing the matter in all its phases,
Admiral Evans announced that he
would take charge of the matter him
self. He said he would issue an order
forbdding any violation of the Gus
toms laws of the United States and he
would take particular pains to see that
this order was obeyed. This assurance
was satisfactory to the Collector and

so a well trained one. The concert
might be held on the Capitol grounds
With combination of all the talent
now in port a band larger than any
ever heard here might be got together,
and it would certainly give a concert
that would attract attention.
Some of the leaders of the warship
bands have been sending to Captain
Berger for copies of Hawaiian music.
They propose to learn the airs which
are peculiar to Hawaii, and soon the
bands on the men-of-war will be able
to roll out the strains of Hawaii Ponoi,
Aloha De and other Hawaiian compost
tions.

A concert by a combination band of

the result was that Mr.. Stackable de-
cided not to have any inspectors on
duty at the Naval Slips, but to trust to
the assurance of Admiral Evans that
there would be no violation Of the GUS
toms laws.
The result was Admiral Evans issued
peremptory. orders forbidding any arti-
cles of dutiable character being brought
off the vessels of the fleet. Special at
tention is being paid 20 this order by
the officers and men on duty so as to
prevent any violations of the Customs
laws while the fleet is i'm port.
The agreement between the two Of
ficials has resulted in a better feeling
between the departments being engen-
dered and it is not likely that there
will be any friction while the fleet is
in port.

He refers to the alleged prejudice of the
American commissioners, but does not
apparently regard that as important.
The Canadians place strong reliance
on their own commissioners, but have
little faith in Lord Alverstone. the Lord

The Economist correspondent says:
"A weak feature of our case is that it
has the appearance of being an after
thought. Russia claimed what is now
claimed by the United States, and Eng
land had nothing to say to the con-
trary." That is a very weak feature
