STORM DID DAMAGE
ON THE CHINA
LIFE BOATS SMASHED BY TIRE
MENDOUS SEA-JIB CARRIED
AWAY. .....-

1t takes mighty rough weather TO
make the S. S. China a day late. Thls
is exactly the kind of weather that the
vessel experienced from the time she
left Yokohama until she arrived OH
port this morning. She bore the marks
of the weather too, for she came in with
one of her port life boats smashed and
her jib carried away. This damage
was done during the first twenty-four
hours after leaving Yokohama.
She sailed from Yokohama January
20 and Immediately ran into strong
easterly weather. She had easterly
winds and heavy head seas. The worst
weather was experienced the first day
out. One of the life boats on the wea
ther side was smashed by a heavy sea
and the jib was carried away. Through
out the trip the vessel was spraying
fore and aft making things very damp
and disagreeable. Practically all OF
the passengers were sick. She brought
) cabin passengers for this port and
has 52S tons of freight for Honolulu.
G.. j. Kavanaugh and j. f. Rollins
who went out to China to establish a
branch of Crane Brothers Manufactur-
! ing Company of Chicago are returning
! to America on cable orders for a con-
| ference connected with the business of
their firm. They passed through Homo

SORTING MONEY
A BIC JOB
NINETY SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN SILVER TO BE EXAMINED
COIN BY COIN.

Thirty-siX thousand quarters are all
the Hawaiian silver coins that remain
in the government treasury unused. OF
the million dollars of kalakaua money
coined in 1888, this sum has not found
it's way into circulation. The quarters
as bright and new looking as they
were on the day when they left the
San Francisco mint, are still in the
treasury.
There will be no difficulty about turn
ing over this money to the Federal
government, as none of it can be alb
raded or worn, and it all counts for full
face value. Registrar Henry Hapai
will only have to count it out and hand
it over and receive good American coin
for it.
There will be a very big task in the
treasury, however. in the counting out
of the other Hawaiian coins mixed
with American money in the vaults.
There are $4,000 in silver in the vaults
now, in dollars, halves, quarters, dimes
and nickels. Every dollar, half and
quarter will have to be examined, to
pick out the Hawaiian ones. This is
money that has been in circulation,
and as usual with silver in Hawaii, it
consists of Hawaiian and American
money mixed.
Registrar Hapai will go through all
the money, sorting out the Hawaiian
and American coins, to, turn over the
Hawaiian and receive American for
them. 1t is probable that about half
the coins bear the image of Kdlakaua:
In addition to the silver in the treas
ury there are large deposits in the To-
cal banks. Some of them have con-
siderable sums of Hawaiian silver that
is new and uncirculated. Others have
it mixed with American silver, and in
all of them the same task as Henry
Hapai has to perform will have to be
tackled, of going through the silver
and sorting the pieces.

movement is in Canton and the south
ern provinces that were the peaceable
ones during the Boxer uprising in 1900.
The Chinese are shipping vast guam
titles of arms and ammunition into all
of the treaty ports. This has been go
ing on for months past. 1t is in open
violation of the treaty that was made
between China and the Powers after
the Boxer trouble. The munitions of
war are being secured from Germany
England and America While there is
perhaps some attempt made to conceal
the nature of the goods when they are
received at the seaports, there is no at
tempt being made inland to conceal the
fact that arms are constantly arriving.
The goods are repacked and loaded on
junks and those vessels carry them in
to the various inland districts
THAT this movement among the
southern Chinese is being carefully
planned seems certain. Already num-
bers of former American soldiers who
were in the Philippines have gone to
China and are engaged in drilling and
training the Chinese When this out
break will occur 1 can not state, but 1
think that it will be within a compara-
lively short time.
Strange to state the uprising does
not appear to be directed against the
foreign element at present The move
ment seems to be directed against the
Manchu element. Chinese say that
while the present Emperor is not OPP
posed to the reform element, he is
weak. He is nothing but a boy. 1t
would not be surprising if the move
ment would not, extend to include the
foreign element also. The Chinese are
a very fanatical-people and If they get
started once it is difficult to state to
what extent the uprising will go. 1t is
at present being engineered from Pc
nang and Singapore"

A NEW BANK
FOR HONOLULU
FINANCIAL MEN LOOKING THIS
WAY IN VIEW OF LARGE APPRO-
PRIATIONS COMING HERE.

A dispatch from Washington last
night stating that an effort was being
made by San Francisco capitalists to
get charter for a second national
bank here was supposed by many to
mean that the interests represented by
w. r. Summers and Col Macfarlane, in
the First National bank matter, were
after a charter. 1t is denied, however,
terested in the proposition.
The prospect of heavy payments of
government money here are responsible
for the attention Hawaii is receiving
from bankers, and this is the reason for
the anxiety of the California in
terests to gain control of the First Ma
tional bank. A million dollars has al
ready been appropriated by Congress
and there are bills for other large ap-
propriations. During the coming year
all these will probably be vastly in
creased by appropriations for army
and navy work in the islands. This
will make a lot of business for a ma
tional bank depository and for other
banks and it Is thought likely that
Honolulu will soon have another bank
The Sumner interests, it Is stated,
will not interfere with the national
bank business now. Their suit in the
court has reference only to the First
American Savings bank, and the ma
tional bank will probably run on as il
is. Nearly half of the stock of the
bank is held by the people whom Sum-
mers represents and it Is therefore not
thought likely that they will start a
bank to compete with it.

THE VALUE OF
ADVERTISING
SCHEDULE 1 CALLS ATTENTION
TO TAX RETURNS AND COLLEC-
TOR PRATT HAS A RUSH.

An unprecedented number of tax re-
turns were made at the tax office this
year, and the rush today broke all pre-
ViouS records. For some reason or
other the people this year seem to be
specially anxious to get in their re-
turns, and they are crowding around
the counter waiting their turns. AS
a result Tax Collector Pratt decided to
keep the office open beyond the usual
hours, and it will be open this afternoon
Today is the last days for returns.
I'm the history of the office" said
Tax Collector Pratt, there have never
been so many returns filed as this year.
] don't know what the reason is, unless
it is that the discussion over schedule
IT has advertised the tax return busi-
ness and has called the attention of the
public generally to the fact that a tax
return is wanted by the government.
People are coming in with returns as
they never did before, and know of no
other explanation"

hare-up lights as Collector Stackabla
stated in his circular order on the sub
ject, they used nothing of the sort.
The Japs used a steady light that was
kept in a platform on the side of the
fishing boats. 1t is claimed by the Coll
lector that this light gives the impress
sion that 1t is a flare light because be-
ing so low on the water, the light rises
with the swell and at one time is
bright and at another scarcely discern
able.
There has been much discussion
among seafaring people regarding the
stand taken by the local Collector, and
a number have expressed the opinion
that the Japanese were clearly being
deprived of their rights. 1t was fur
ther said by navigators of island
steamers that the order was entirely
too severe in the first place, and that
an unnecessary hardship was put on
the fishermen by Collector StackabIe-
Indeed 1t Is understood that Stack
able's course in the matter has been
severely denounced by the Japanese
fishermen and that at the first attempt
to prosecute any alleged offenders pri-
vate parties will carry vigorous pro-
tests to the. Treasury Department.
No decision has been reached as yet
however, by the Acting Japanese Con-
sui, but efforts are being made to have
him take up the protest instead OIL
leaving the matter 70 the JepaneSs
Minister at Washington who at best.
can act on the very incorrect report
that the japanese were using flare-up
lights.

ING HOME ON ACCOUNT OF
SICKNESS.

Rear Admiral F. Wilds. who was Sec
ond in command of the Asiatic station
with headquarters at Cavite. is aboard
the S. S. China en- route to the main
land. He is going home to undergo a
medical examination as his health has
been very bad while in the Orient. 1t
is understood that the medical board
will probably recommend his retire
ment. Admiral Cooper, who succeeds
Admiral Wilds, passed through here
last Tuesday on the S. S. Korea.
Commander Whiting, the command
ant of the local naval station. and Cap
tain Rodman of the u. S. S. Iroquois

morning aboard the China.

Although the acting Japanese consul
has announced that he would not make
any protest to the Treasury Depart
ment against the order of Collector
Stackable prohibiting the Japanese
fishermen from using lights on their
sampans along a portion of the south
ern coast line of this island, IL is not
unlikely that with more information on
the subject a vigorous protest may be
begun by the local Japanese consulate.
The consul is now consulting with his
highly probable that some steps may
be taken to have the recent order Of
Collector Stackable rescinded.
1t was first represented to the Acting
Consul that the Japanese were using
fiare-up lights on their sampans. The
use of such lights was a menace to
navigation and the United States au-
thorities proposed to force the Japs TO
cease the use of these lights, In fact
it was represented to the Acting Con-
sui that 1t was to the interests Of the
] apanese to discontinue the use Of
such lights for IL they did not, the
mighty hand of the United States au-
thorities would descend upon them. In
fact it would be rather favor to the
fishermen to order them to stop using
the lights and not to attempt to resist
the proposed order as the government
would simply have to put the japanese
to serious trouble. '.....'..-.
1t now appears that the matter was
misrepresented entirely to the Acting
Consul. Instead of the Japanese using

Serious trouble is brewing in China.
A revolution that is being carefully
nurtured by apparently capable leaders
Is certain to break forth. The revolu-
tion is not directed against the foreign
influence but aimed at the overthrow
of the Manchu dynasty. The news of
the impending revolution was brought
this morning by G. ]. Kavanaugh who
is aboard the S. S. China en- route to
Chicago. Mr.. Kavanaugh says that
the center of the impending revolution
is not in northern China, but in south
ern China.
Mr.. Kavanaugh went out to Shanghai
last September in the interests of
Crane Brothers Manufacturing Com
pany of Chicago for the purpose of es-
tablishing a branch in China. His work
in China necessitated his going about
into the interior of the country away
from the sea ports, and during his
trips he was able to learn much about
the secret workings of the new move
ment.
Kavanaugh was formerly a newspa-
per correspondent and has had wide
experience. He represented the Chica-
go Record in Cuba during the Spanish
war and had copies of the Record on
the firing line of San Juan Hill. he
represented the New York Herald in
Washington and was the first man to
reach the summit of Mount Pelee af-
ter the terrible eruptions. During the
Boxer trouble Kavanaugh was in Chi
ma and had a contract with the Ameri-
can government for carrying the mails
from Tien Tsin to Pekin. His knowl-
edge of Chinese gained while in China
then assisted him materially in secur-
ing information of the impending trou-
BILE in China,
sThere is soon to be serious trouble
in China" said Mr.. Kavanaugh, this
morning. "The center of the pending
