United States Judge Estee this morn
ing decided the libel case of j. ID.
Spreckels & Co., owners of the tug
Fearless, against the steamship Neva-
dan. Instead of $1,000 which Captain
Olsen of the tug swOre he agreed to
pull the Nevadan off the reef for, the
court awards $6,213.72, valuing the Me-
vadan at S414,248 and allowing 11a per
cent of the value. After reviewing the
circumstances under which the Neva-
dan went on the reef, on December 8,
the court says:
1T must be admitted beyond doubt
that the Nevadan was in danger when
she lay on this reef with her valuable
cargo aboard; ships are made to sail
the sea, not to navigate the land. The
reef where she lay is composed of sand
and coral, and the waters about it are
full of 'boulders. The reef has a grad
ual slope of some thirty feet till it rises
like a nrecipice or pail up and down."
This latter fact was testified to by this
Witness Williams, who swore to hav-
ing been often round this reef fishing
for Holsters.
mo vessel lying on reef is in a po-
sition of safety. 1t is the common
knowledge of all seafaring men that
where there is a reef there is a heavy
sea, if there is any sea at all running.
Indeed the official map of the Harbor
of Honolulu introduced in evidence and
marked Libellant,s Exhibit 9, indicates
this reef with the following words "al-
ways breaks" And the least sea would
raise a ship laying n the position that
the Nevada lay so that when it falls,
she would strike heavy and thus she
would be likely if she remained long
on the reef to pound to pieces. Forum
ately there was no unusual sea on the
night the vessel was stranded.
"A decided effort was made at the
trial of this case to show that the Ne
vadan came off the reef by her own eff
forts. This is not borne out by the
facts. The Nevadan had been on the
reef for some time, full hour before
the tug took hold of her, and she had
tried to get off by all means in her
power and with the assistance of the
Young Brothers gasoline launch but
she remained fast. After the Fearless
commenced tugging on her she still
remained fast for another full hour or
more and she only came off when the
tug changed her relative position to the
ship by veering across the channel a
little more at right angels with the Ne
vadan. 1t is easy and indeed usual af-
ter a ship is out of danger for the Of
ficers who are most to blame in iIcur-
ring such danger, and when it is a
thing of the past, tC claim all the credit
for relieving the ship.
The fact that the engines were start
ed astern just about the time the vessel
came off the reef may have had SOM,
influence in the final moving of the ship

MANY MAIL
BOATS TO ARRIVE
WILL BE THREE MAILS FROM SAN
MAILS FOR SAN FRANCISCO.

This will be the busiest week in the
way of mail steamships that the port
has known in many months. There
Will be no less than six mail liners to
arrive at Honolulu from various ports.
As If to compensate for the long
periods between mail boats from the
Coast that has been the custom since
the first of the year, the schedule for
the present week shows a marked in
crease.
On Tuesday afternoon, the $. s. Ne
braskan will arrive from san Francisco
with four days later mail and news
files. Following her on Wednesday
morning, will come the S. S. Ventura
also from San Francisco, with two days
later mail and news files. On Saturday
the S. 5. Korea is scheduled to arrive
from San Francisco with three days
later mail. ! is more than probable
however that the Korea will arrive Fri
day afternoon, although it was not an
nOunced that Captain Seabury would
send his vessel out after any records.
The 5. S. Moana is also due Satur-
day from Victoria and Vancouver.
Mail To the Coast will be by three
different steamers The Hong Kong
Maru arrived this afternoon from the
Orient. She will sail probably tomor-
row morning for San Francisco The
$. $. Sierra is due Tuesday morning
from the South. She win sail in the
afternoon Of the same day for San
Francisco. The 5. s. Miowera is due
Wednesday from the South. She will
sail the same day for Victoria and
Vancouver.
Mail to the Orient will go by the
Korea on Saturday and mail to the
Colonies and Pago Pago will go by the
Ventura on Wednesday evening or the
Moana, Saturday.

PULAA AND RED
FACED AMERICANS"
SEEMS TO OBJECT TO THIS
THE HOUSE.

Representative Harris this morning
introduced in the House petition
from the Associated Charities asking
for an appropriation of $500 for the
society. Vida moved that the petition
be rejected and Fernandez seconded
the motion. He said that the legisla-
ture could not legally make the appro-
priation as the Associated Charities
came under the head Of sectarian in
stitutions.
Harris replied that the Associated
Charities was not sectarian and Harris
also defended the petition. Pulaa
wanted to know if the red faced Am
orleans" were to come in under the ap-
preparation. Harris said he didn't know
who thew were. Vice-Speaker Knudsen
said he would stop further discussion
by referring the petition to the Finance
Committee.
A number of petitions were received
asking for appropriations, the sup
porters of the HilO band being heard
from again. Hiloites also petftioned
that Congress be asked that the leper
settlement and the public lands de-
partment remain in control of the Ter
ritorial government.

HOUSE SURE or
COUNTY BILL
LEGISLATION PROCEEDING UN-
DER ASSUMPTION THAT IT WILL
BE LAW.

The House is going ahead with the
understanding that the county bill is
as good as enacted. This morning sew
eral bills were indefinitely postponed on
recommendation of the judiciary Com
mittee on the sole ground that they
covered matters which are included in
the provisions of the county act. Some
of them are pet bills of the intrOducers
but no objections were raised until ku-
pihea moved to wait until the Governor.
signed the county act, kupihea's $
freak bills and motiins appear to have
lost him the ear of the House, for no
one paid any attention to his sugges-
ton.
Chairman Andrade of the Judiciary
Committee presented the committees
reports on over thirty bills referred to
that committee, and they occupied most
of the morning session. In large
number of cases House bills were found
to be the same as Senate bills, or other
House bills, and were therefore report
ed against.
On Damien's act, No. 9S, to provide
for employment of free labor instead OF
prison labor the committee reported
unfaVorably, saying that to abolish
hard labor in the prison "would tend
to make the Prison a Resort, rather
than a place to punish criminals"
Damien made fight against the adop-
ton of this report but was voted down.
Pulaa introduced a petition that
the salaries of all laborers on all gov
ernment roads be raised from 81 per
day to SO per day" Kaniho introduced
petition asking for $4,000 for road
and other purposes in Hama.

savings bank for two or three months
and then stop and get into their old
habits of spending what they earn. The
Pioneer Building & Loan Association by
requiring a monthly deposit of the

Governor Dole's first veto message to

subject of the Pulaa joint resolution
asking Congress to amend the Organic
Act and provide that the Hawaiian
language shall be official the same as
English in the Territory. The Cover
nor has had the resolution in his pos
session for many days now and he has
not signed it, though the bills sent to
him since have been acted upon. 1t Is
expected that a veto will be received
within a few DAYS.

In docking over an article in your

have. While it is true there is q boat
from the Rappahannock to Baltimore
most every day there are thousands
and thousands of dollars yearly lost
to the shippers BY not getting their
produce into market 10 time, thus
failing to get the best prices. Why
is this state of affairs? ! we'll re-
member some years ago at mass
meeting of the people at Lancaster

q party of men from somewhere
came to Lancaster and asked the
people to show them their desire for
a railroad by voting subscription.
The people did SO, but what become
OF these gentlemen, or the railroad?

FAIRPORT.

The awkward squad from J. w.
McAloney's boat shop, under the
direction of Capt. Andrew McNeal,
reconstructing and enlarging the
pilot house on fishing steamer E. w.
Edwards, are nearing the end of the
work. With five large windows,
where there were but three smaller
ones before, the wheel room is now
brighter and much larger. The cap
tain's stateroom is more commodi-
ous and also has five windows, four
same length a. those in wheel room,
one old size In rear. The change,
beside adding to the comfort of
those engaged upon the upper deck,
improves the appearance and adds
to the general utility of the steamer.
The Marsh Woodruff fishing steam
er Fsirfields' forward houses have
been removed, preparatory to re-
building. The general object is 10
enlarge the pilot room, which could
not be accomplished without re-
building from the deck, which work
is now in progress.

steamers Virginia. Northumberland
and Wicomico, which arrived ON the
l4th ultimo froni Sharptown, Md,
where they had been for marine
work and repairs, will soon leave

lNeso York Sun, Rep

The Ezra S. Griffin Post of Scran-
ton of the Grand Army of the Re-
public are struggling against a tide
that cannot be stemmed in their en-
deavor to prevent the erection of a
monument to Lee at Gettysburg.
The longing and the purpose of the
American people that the Civil war
shall ultimately be remembered not
as an attack upon the American flag
and an effort to disrupt the federal
Union, but as the means chosen by
an inscrutable Providence for deter
mining aud abolishing the distract
ing issue of secession, and of placing
the republic on foundation of
nationalism that shall endure for
ever, have been unmistakable for
many years.
A shaft dedicated to Lee at Gettys-
burg will be but an expression of the
Americanism of to-day and to-
morrow.

Hope it will be Pushed Through.

The West Point, Urbanna & York
River Railroad Company commenced
laying its track on last week. The
charter for the road was granted by
the Legislature February 16, 1901,
and in order that the charter might
continue good for the next three
years, the company had to begin the
construction of the road before the
10th of February, 1908. Toano, on
the @. Il o. r. r, will be the start.
ing point for the road. About thirty
feet was laid there. The track from
there to West Point will be built as
soon as the right of way along the
line can be secured, so it is said. 1t
will be sometime before the rest of
the road will be built.
