WINDS BLOW
OVER MAUI
Trades Prevent the
Working Of
Ships.

Year. which began on the 2sth. has
been celebrated on Maui with much
less enthusiasm than in former years.
Perhaps the hard times Of the past
year may be mentioned as the cause
and then. too there are fewer Chinese
on the Island than formerly. How
ever, the usual hospitality was ex-
tended and there was the usual in
terchange Of calls where the weather
permitted. During the past week the
weather has been most inclement--
heavy trade wind gales blowing most
of the time, accompanied by rain on
East Maui Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday.
At Kahului the sea has been so
rough that little or no work has been
accomplished by the longshoremen.
The bark Foohng Suey, loaded with
sugar, was ready to sail for New
York on Saturday, the 24th. but was
prevented by heavy winds. She tried
to get away again on Wednesday.
but could not for the same reasons,
and today will again attempt to depart
but the gales still blow. The schoon-
er Alice Kimball has unloaded but very
little lumber during the week on ac-
count of bad weather.
The majority of the Maui legislators
sail today for Honolulu. Hon. w. p.
Haia of Hama is on Hawaii and will
not go to Honolulu until the 9TH;
but representatives S. f. Kalama, S.
Keliinoi, Philip Pail and Joel Naka-
leka. accompanied by their families,
will sail today for the capital. 1t is
stated that j. II. S. Kaleo of Hama Is
