GUARDS OF PORT
DURING THE NIGHT

Many thousand dollars worth of
goods lying on Honolulu wharves are
exposed to the view of everybody at
night time, but are so well guarded that
the possibility of theft is remote A
force of men in blue uniforms, each
yer and patrolling the wharves, sees
that these goods are not harmed.
Cases of silk from China and valuable
merchandise, consisting of spirits and
all kinds of merchandise, lie on the
wharf overnight just after a steamer
has discharged her cargo but-the man
in blue watches these That's his bus
mess and his sole business. In addition
to his revolver he also has a ~.olice
whistle, and there is a master man that
goes around to see that all is right
This is the night inspecting force of
the custom house, and constitutes one
of the most interesting bodies of men in
Hawaii.
On all the wharves one can find them.
No one approaches a wharf after dark
without being closely scrutinized by
them, and nothing can leave the wharf
without a permit from the custom
house authorities.
One can speculate what the chances
are to run off with a couple bales of silk.
Why not get a rowboat and, sneaking
alongside the wharf, land a half dozen
men tO oUernoUar tho ipcyac+o,. 81
take the stuff? 1t would be well nigh
impossible. The custom house man.
hearing the swash of the boat as it
sped along, would say:
Whats that boat?"
This to himself.
a moment later, as the boat touched
the wharf, he would say to himself that
the boat had no right there.
What are you fellows doing here?
No answer would come from the boat,
he would tell them to stop, unless they
had some business there, and then if
the plunderers wished to have trouble
we'll, the customs man has a gun.
Some night you will find an inspector
watching DIS STACK OF Ught boxes
containing goods from the Orient which
are of considerable value, and the next
you may find the same man seated on
one piece of machinery weighing sever
al tons. OF course, the latter could not
be easily stolen, but it might be duti-
able goods, and in this case the law re-
quireS that II be watched
Now no one imagines that the cable
in the tank near the Railway wharf is
going to be carried off by thieves, yet
the law requires it to be watched, as it
is dutiable stuff.
The night force of the custom house
works in two shifts. One gang starts
work at in the evening and continues
until midnight, while the other goes on
at midnight and works until in the
morning. Each gang is in charge of
captain or a member of the day in
specting staff, and the men on the day
force take turns in looking after this
night work, each one putting in
month at 1t.

Work on Dock.

F. ]. Amweg, the contractor in chief
for the construction of the Hilo dock,
was III he city last week for the purpose
of getting matters in shape so that
was here last week for the purpose
at once. AS a result of his visit, to-
gether with that OF Mr.. E. E. Paxton,
who has been in the city the past week,
the dock work will not be delayed
much longer. 1t is calculated now
that construction will begin by Janu-

vAsELINE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.

Dandruff Germs Thrive in It, as Well
as in Grease.
A well known Chicago hair specialist
invited the Inter Ocean reporter to
come to his office and see, under a
microscope, how the germ that causes
dandruff thrives in vaseline. The spe-
cialist said that all hair preparations
containing grease, simply furnished
food for the germs and help to propa-
gate them. The only way to cure dan
druff is to destroy the germs, and the
only hair preparation that will do that
is Newbro's Herpicide. Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect" With
out dandruff no falling hair, no bald
ness. ASK for Herpicide. It is the only
destroyer of the dandruff germ.

Koa for Pullman Cars.

The Mauna Kea Koa Lumber Com
pany shipped $4,000 feet of koa lumber
to the coast expecting to market it in
San Francisco, but failed to do so.
Manager Kendall is negotiating with
the Pullman car people and hopes to
induce them to Introduce the lumber
in the manufacture of their cars. The
objection by the coast people is on the
ground Of the kOa being so much more
difficult to work than ordinary hard

nnucRATIoH INCREASES


New York, Dec. 31.-while the Inn
migration at this port for the last
half Of the current year has not been
as large as that Of the first six months,
there was a very heavy increase in
the total immigration as compared
with the previous calender year. The
total number Of immigrants that ar
rived at New York and were admit
ted in 1902, up to and including De-
cember 20, was 545.751, as compared
with 417,713 in 1901, gain this year
of more than $4,000.
Italy and Austria-Hungary contrib
uted the largest proportion of the
years immigration, the number of ar
rivals from Italy being larger than
from any other country; the influx
from Russia, Germany, Norway and
Sweden, Greece and the United King
dom was also very heavy.

CONSENTS 10 TUE HAGUE laBlIalI



Caracas. Jan. 2.-There have been
persistent rumors in official circles
and generally throughout this city;
that President Castro has refused to-
agree to the proposals 81 the allies
to refer the Venezuelan issues. to The
Hague. It is not true that the presi-
dent has declined these proposals.
The chief executive declares he wants
only fair treatment. It is clear from
what President Castro says that he
believes it would be very easy to reach
q full settlement of the entire contro-
versy. President Castro said: ..If s.
settlement is not reached it will DO
because settlement forms no part
of the plan of the allies. In this case
the prolongation of the present situ-
alton would be disastrous for all con-
+ cerned. The solution of the present,
difficulty depends more on the allied
powers than on Venezuela
Castro's Reply.
Berlin, Jan. president Castr6's:
reply to the powers, through Min
lister Bowen, is substantially an un-
qualified acceptance of their pro-
posals to arbitrate and the accom-
panying conditions. The foreign
Office here received his answer Thurs
day and is satisfied with its spirit.
A further interchange Of views, pre-
paratory to signing the protocol will
take place in Washington. The only
really important question to be set
tied is what shall be done with the
blockade. A continuance of the block
ade is relied upon to hasten the con-
clusion of the arbitration prelimi-
naries, especially on the part Of
Venezuela.
Averse to The Hague.
Washington, Jan. 3.-The condition
which President Castro attached to
his response to the allies arbitration
proposal was in the nature of an al
ternatiye proposition. Almost from
the beginning showing an aversion to
The Hague tribunal, Castro, while ac-
cepting the principle Of arbitration,
asked that the case be tried by one Of
the American republics. AS President
Roosevelt already had declined to act
in the capacity of arbitrator, and as
some of the reasons which inspired
him in his declination would apply
with equal force to the chief executive
of any other American state than the
United States, he was obliged to with-
hold any Endorsement Of this PROPOSE
ton Of President Castro. Therefore.
it may be dismissed from the field OF
possibilities and, unless Castro is un-5
expectedly insistent upon his own pians
the original proposition of reference
to The Hague tribunal will carry.

A BRILLIANT EVENT.
new Years Reception Of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt at the~
White House Largely Attended. \

Washington. Jan. 2, - President
Roosevelt's New Years reception was
one of the most brilliant events in
Washington's recent social history.
All callers were afforded the oppor-
tunity of greeting the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt and exchanging with
them the compliments of the new
year. No distinctions were made, ex-
cept such as were rendered necessary
in preservation of order, and the greet
ings extended to all-high and low,
rich and poor-were alike cordial and
sincere.
The gates were closed at 2:e5, the
line by that time having passed within
the grounds. The reception of callers
was concluded at 2:34. The total num-
Der of callers fell trifle short of I, 900.
The president extended a cordial greet
ing and handshake to each one.

NO SIGNS OF HIS SWEARING OFF.

Gov. Dole to President Roosevelt. It
was merely formal greeting and con-
graduation from the people of Hawaii
to the people of the United States from
one chief executive to the other. The
message was transmitted at the Mar
ket street office to wire leading di-
rectly to the executive mansion at
Washington, and receipt was acknowl-
edged at 1925 o'clock.
When the message reached the white
house President Roosevelt was asleep
and the operator refused to awaken
him.
Right after the Dole signature on
the first message came a second
through from Honolulu. 1t was a
greeting from the people of Hawaii
to Clarence II. Mackay, president of
the cable company, congratulating
him upon the completion of the cable
and expressing sorrow that John w.
Mackay had not survived to see the
instantaneous bond between the is
lands and the American continent.
This message was signed by Henry
E. Cooper, secretary of the territory
of Hawaii; then came message from
the press correspondent on the Sill
vertown, telling of the successful lay
ing of the cable and of the celebra-
ton of the event in Honolulu.
President Roosevelt's Reply.
F Washington, Jan. 2.-The following
is the reply of the president to the
message of Secretary Cooper:
White House, Washington, d. c., Jan.
2.-Hon. Henry E. Cooper, Secre-
tary, Hawaii, Honolulu.
The president sends to you, to Gov.
Dole, and the people Of Hawaii, his
hearty congratulations upon the
opening of the cable. He believes
that it will tend to make the people
of Hawaii more closely knit than
ever to their fellow citizens of the
mainland and will be for the great
advantage of all our people.

Secretary to the President.

SO interested in the servant problem
that they have resolved to raise the
standard Of domestic service by going

also states that these clubwomen have
