have the valuable right of proposal, but
the passengers on board the Siberia tGe
last trip had a calendar of their own,
in which the thirtieth of February has
a rightful place.
In crossing between here and Yoko-
hama a day is added to or dropped
from the calendar, to keep in accord
with the calendars of the far east.
Travelling towards Yokohama passen-
gers go to sleep one night and find it is
two days later when they wake up.
Otherwise, owing to the change in time,
they would be day behind the rest of
the world on reaching Japan. Similar
ly a day is added on the return.
The day for the change on the Sibe-
ria's return trip came at the end OF
February. AS a result the added day
was called February 80 and appears so
in the log and other official documents
of the vessel. The usual lunch and
dinner menu cards We're printed Ola
board and they bear the date of Feb
ruary 81. Many of the passengers kept
them as souvenirs of a unique occasion
The experience was a new one to Off
GERS and men on board as well as 10 the
passengers, no one on board having en-
countered such a coincidence before.

INSPECTORS TABLED.

The naval transport Solace is dis
pensing with the services of the Gus
toms inspectors Efforts were made
by the inspectors to go on the Naval
Wharf this morning when the Naval
transport was locked, but they We're
turned down. In fact they were told
that their presence was unnecessary
about the wharf.-the Naval authori-
ties would attend to looking after the
vessel and preventing anything duti-
able being smuggAed ashore
The Customs inspectors we're TO have
gone on the wharf but they We're in
formed that it would be an unnecessary
outlay of energy. The Naval people
took the responsibility Of seeing that
no customs regulations were violated
so the inspectors had, in consequence,
to remain outside in the street
This action on the part of the naval
people was in line with the precedent
established by Admiral Evans when
the American fleet was in port last
December. The Admiral took the
matter of preventing any dutiable ar
ticles coming ashore from the fleet, out
of the hands of the Customs officials.
He took the matter into his own hands
and issued positive orders that the
customs regulations were to be strict
ly observed. The orders were obey
ed and the work of preventing snug
Cling if any persons had desired to
attempt any such thing was thoroughly
done.
Evidently the naval authorities pro-
pose to follow that rule and attend to
the Naval vessels themselves when the
boats are in this port. There has al
ways been = ore or less feeling" on
between the local customs people and
the people on the SOlace regarding the
guarding of the vessel and for some
years past Customs officials have not
been permitted aboard the SOlace.

THE soLACE HERE.

The naval transport Solace arrived
unexpectedly this morning from one of
her regular cruises to the Asiatic sta
ton. The vessel left Manila February
20 and Guam February p. She laid
over night off Guam owing to the bad
weather that was prevailing.
Pleasant weather was experienced
during the voyage to this port. Moth
ing was sighted. The Solace was last
here in December when she arrived
with supplies and ammunition for Ad-
miral Evans fleet. She sailed ahead af
the fleet, however, in order to make her
rounds of the ports on the Asiatic sta
ten. She did not go further north than
Hong Kong this trip, however, so did
not approach the scene of hostilities be
tween the Japanese and Russians.
There are hundreds of men aboard
the .Solace who are going home. They
have served a month over their time,
but this call for extra time on their
services has been due to delay in get
ting them back to the mainland. No
body aboard the Solace has seen any
of the fighting.
The vessel brought no passengers for
Honolulu. She has small sized crowd
of civilian and naval passengers. Sew
eral paYmasteTs and their clerks are re-
turning from duty on the Asiatic sta
ton.
Commander Bechlar was on the mon
itor Monterey. He is returning home.
Mrs. Judge Sweeney and two chill
dren are passengers from Manila. She
is the wife of Judge Sweeney of the
Philippines.
The SOlace is to take 800 tons of coal
at this port. She win begin cOaling to-
morrow morning. She is scheduled to
sail at a. m. Saturday for San Fran
cisco. She will probably carry mail.

sTACKABLE WILL DIsRuRsE.

The indications are that the new I'm
migration Station will soon be started.
Collector Stackable received notice by
yesterdays mail appointing him dis
bursting agent for the distribution of
funds of the appropriation of 100000
for the construction of an immigration
station at this port.
While no statement to the effect was
made, the appointment of the Collector
to take charge of the distribution of the
appropriation indicates that work is to
be commenced very soon on the new
buildings. 1t was thought that a larger
appropriation could be secured for the
buildings, but evidently any attempt to
secure additional money is not to delay
the use of the original appropriation.
Orders regarding the commencement OF
the new station building are expected
almost any time.

OFF
FOR ORIENT
POLICE HAVE LEARNED THAT
HE INQUIRED PRICE OF STEAM
SHIP PASSAGE SATURDAY.

Henry Kapea's embezzlement and de-
parture for Japan, which is thought to
be his destination, appears now to have
been very shrewdly planned, and l. is
stated that under the treaty laws he
is safe from extradtion. The Young
man even went so far in his precau-
tions as to see that none of his photos
were left behind and to secure the
negative which he knew was in the
possession of Photographer J. j. Will
liams.
II believe the negative was stolen
from my parlors," said j. ]. Williams.
81 knew just where it was, but it has
disappeared and it was not sold. How
it was obtained do not know"
Preparations were begun at once 90
secure the extradition of Kapea ana
it was through efforts to get his photo
graph for this purpose that the loss Of
he negative was discovered. The
photo was desired as a part of the
necessary documents. 1t is thought
that here may be some copies in Ho-
nolulu but none has been found yet.
The principal difficulty in the way of
eXtradition is in the terms of the eX-
tradition treaty with Japan. The only
sort of embezzlement included in the
treaty is the embezzlement of public
money. Hence it is claimed, Kapea
is safe when he once gets to Yokohama.
Deputy Attorney General Peters is
looking up the law with a view to
seeing what can be done in the mat
ter. Kapea is said to have been seen
in Honolulu after the Siberia left for
San Francisco, hence it is supposed
| that he took the China for the Orient.
His efforts to negotiate the stolen
bonds and his purchase Of clothing at
the Hub are regarded as disposing of
the suicide theory.
The police believe that Henry Kapea
has gone to the Orient. The missing
collector of the Hawaiian Trust Com
pany is known to have gone to the
office of H. Hackfeld and Company
Saturday afternoon, and inquired the
price Of steamship passage to japanese
and Chinese points. He did not how
ever, purchase a ticket.
The probabilities are that he left on
the China Saturday afternoon for the
Orient. Efforts will in all probability
| De made TO erect his capture. He
may however have departed by the
| Siberia for San Francisco on Saturday.
According to the statements Of ]. r.
Gait of the Hawaiian Trust Company
about $4,000 in bonds are missing from
the vaults of the trust company. About
Sl,5OO of this money has been traced
One bond of $500 of the Waialua Plan
ltation issue was hypothecated IN Rishor
and Company's Bank to secure a note
of $3.50 made by Kapea. A second
bond on the Oahu Railway for the
same amount was placed by Kapea
with the Spreckels Bank for $3.50 ant
a third Oahu Railway bond was turn
ed over to ]. E. Fullerton who mad,
the loan on it for James Campbell. Tn,
amount of money advanced on the las
bond was 1890 for six months at / pe
cent a month.

MIST PROVE THE LAW.

United States Judge Dole and the
attorneys in the Ivanhoe case were
in deep water for time this morning,
over the efforts of the defense to in
troduce copies of British laws relating
to seamen and their rights. Consul
w. r. Hoare was called to the stand
to supply a copy of the Act of Par
lament relating to the matter. He
produced a volume containing the law
and Dunno and Humphreys objected to
it on several grounds, among them
being that it was not the best evidence
Of the British law on the subject. 1t
was claimed that the copy was not
shown to be official.
Stanley asked by whose authority
the book was published and the consul
replied that it was by authority of the
British Parliament. The attorneys for
the defense then moved to strike this
answer out, claiming that the act au-
thorizing the publication was the only
proper evidence of such a fact. Judge
Dole said he would reserve his de-
cision until the close of the cross eX-
animation.
1--WE respectfully decline to cross-eX-
anime" said Dunno.
A further objection was added by
the defense in that the book had a
writing in it by Hoare showing an
amendment to the act. Court adjourn
ed to this afternoon to allow Stanley to
try to get correct copy of the pre-
sent law and prove that it is such a
, copy.
The issue Of the case, it is said, de-
Ponds upon the possibility of proving
the British law on the subject The de-
Tense is seeking to show that the
crew of the Ivanhoe, who are suing the
vessel and master, had a hearing of
their case, in accordance with British
law, before a court at Iquiqui, and were
ordered back to the vessel. AS there
were no complaints of i'll treatment at
ter leaving Iquiqui, it is claimed that
this former adjudication settles the
matter.
