Reports from vessels arriving from

weather in that locality Where usual

disturbed except for a gentle swell
there have been gales and high con
fused seas this season. Strong easterIy
currents have been noticed.
Captain T. j. Halcrow, the master of
the back Louisiana, which arrived yes

very interesting account of the expert

He says that the weather was surpris-

Sailed from Newcastle, Australia,
November 30th, 1902. Had light and
variable winds from there to the So

and on the Sth of January, Az days out.
On the 10th we had fresh l.. n. E.
breeze which soon increased to a heavy
gale on the 18th, the gale continued,
andAby the 18th we had come to the
conclusion that we were pretty close
to a. hurricane, the fore lower top sails
going at p. m. of that day.
On the 18th the ship being under low
er main top sail and fore top mast stay
sail labored very heavily, the sea being
something terrific, very high and con-
FUSED, the decks DelnS hooded with Wa
ter. At p. M, about 20 feet of the
port bulwarks was washed away and
little later the starboard also; on the
14th the weather somewhat improved.
This gale had commenced at e. N. E.
and finished at South backing in the
usual way, by East to the Southwark.
On the 10th the weather again began
to be unsettled, losing the outer jib this
/ day.
| From there to the Equator, which we

we had nothing but unsettled weather
with terrific squalls, losing the mair

port we had moderate to strong gales
from n. e. N. to n. f.. E. with a very
high, confused sea running. on the

DOING
GOOD SERVICE
HAVE APPREHENDED TWO PORTO
RICAN DARKIES WHO ARE SUS-
PECTED OF ROBBERY.

Excellent work was done by the po-
lice department yesterday in rounding
up number of Porto Ricans who are
thought to have been concerned in the
recent robberes. The most important
of the prisoners were John Brown and
Andre Mack who are charged with bur-
glary-
Yesterday morning three Porto Ri
acns We're seen walking at Waikiki.
They carried fish poles but their ac-
tions aroused suspicion. An officer was
detailed to watch them. After walk
ing about in the neighborhood of Ka-
piolani Park and apparently Sizing
up" the various houses in that loaclity
they went to Makee Island and start
ed to fish. Detective David Kappa
then closed in on them. One of the
men escaped but the officer caught two
of them.
The Chinese employed by Henry Hol-
mes identified one of the prisoners as
one of the men who had broken into
his room last Sunday night and robbed
him of property. The native caretaker
at the lighthouse identified both men as
the same parties who had been loiter-
ing about the Holmes place during the
afternoon proceeding the robbery.
The police think they may succeed in
connecting the prisoners with the conf
mission of other thefts in the Waikiki
district. The authorities are at work
| trying to learn whether the men had
any thing to do with the Beckley rob-
berry.
Deputy High Sheriff Chillingworth
arrested a number of Porto Ricans last
| night in Kakaako. 1t Is the intention
of the police to round up all of the
| suspicious characters and if positive
! robbery charges can not be brought
! against them, charges of vagrancy VIII
| be filed.

OPENING OF
YOUNG HOTEL
FURNITURE COMING ROUND THE
HORN COST ABOUT $25,OOO-MAY
OPEN IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS.

Furniture for the Young Building
hotel is III the way here, and the hotel
will probably be opened soon after May
l next. The furniture was selected by
Manager H. w. Lake during his re-
cent trip East, and is equal to that of
the best hotels in America.
The hotel opening will be a great
event in Honolulu and already there are
Mainland people and people here who
are inquiring about accommodations.
1t is proposed to make the hotel the
equal of any in the world, in fixtures,
accommodations and service, and the
manager thinks that such an institu-
ton will do a great deal to help the
tourist trade, as an advertisement to
Honolulu as well as in other ways.
Mr.. Alexander Young has been as
liberal in the matter of furniture as in
the construction of the building" said
Manager Lake this morning, and the
cost of furnishing the rooms will be
about $4,000 when we get through. The
furniture is of the finest, mahogany and
oak, and is such as will please those
who have been accustomed to whatever

cess of telegraphing across the Atlantic
without wires. General Manager Bot
tomly. of the Marconi company, de-
Clares with great confidence that the
public will soon witness the successful
transmission of all classes of messages
across the ocean by the wireless sys-
tenn, and that the present difficulty of
slowness in transmission Will be over
come. He admits that at present the
wireless company can only transmit at
the rate of thirty words a minute,
whereas the regular cable lines carry
ninety words.
The Marconi company makes no Sc
cret of the plan for establishing wire
less telegraph stations on the Pacific
coast, but it has no immediate inten-
ton of attempting to send messages
across the Pacific. BY immediate is
meant any time within the next few
months. The company intends within
a very short time, however, to estab-
lish stations at San Francisco and
Seattle, and probably in Alaska. Ottl-
GERS of the company in New York say
that shipping interests on the Pacific
coast are anxious TO have the wireless
system installed, and it is the inten-
ton to open communication between
San Francisco and Seattle and from
the latter place to Alaska in the very
near future. At the same time ii will
be made possible to communicate with
ships on the Pacific when they are
several hundred miles out at sea.
In replying to objections that the
wireless system is slow in comparison
with the regular cable method of COM
munication, General Manager Bottom
ly says that the company will certain
ly overcome this. He calls attention TO
the fact that when the Morse system
was first introduced it was impossible
to communicate more rapidly than is
now possible with the wireless system.
