BIG DRY DOCK
At PUGET SOUND
NAVY DEPARTMENT MAY CON-
STRUCT THE LARGEST ONE IN
THE UNITED STATES THERE.

WASHINGTON, August 27.r-The
construction of new drydock at the
Puget Sound navy yard, larger and
longer than any other in the United
States, ma, been recommended to the
navy department by the naval authori-
ties at the yard. Rear Admiral Endi-
colt, chief of the bureau of yards and
docks, will join in this recommendation
to the secretary of the navy, and it is
hoped that favorable action will be
taken by Secretary Morton in his an
nual report to congress.
The annual estimates of the com
mandant at Bremerton have been re-
ceived, but Secretary Morton has given
strict orders to all bureau chiefs that
yard reports be not made public at PIE
sent.
It is known that liberal estimates
have been recommended by the Brem r
ton authorities, and it is certain that
the recommendation for a drydock or
surprising size has been made.
The proposed docT IS to be of ma
sonry and not of timber, like the pre-
sent dock. The estimate of cost Is not
known, but last years estimate was
$1,6O0,OOO.
Secretary Moody declined last year to
recommend to, congress the construction
of new dock at Bremerton. He ad-
mitted the need of it, but decided he
would take no steps until favorable
offer was recommended for the sale of
land to increase the navy yard site,
Secretary Morton may take a different
view of the matter. There is bound
to be a good deal Of discussion of the
question of size. Some naval officers
say $50 feet Is long enough for any
dock, and others favor one of consider
ably greater length Among these Of
ficers Is Admiral Endicott.

Seminary which will commence on

for boys commenced with 151 boys,
which is the most they have had to
start with in years, while the girls
school started operations with 139 pu-
pills, a total of 300 children. Evidently
they did not lose many children as
result of the new High school in Wal
luku. The Waikiki public school COM
menced with $50 pupils, which is an in
crease over former years, no doubt
caused by the additional educational
facilities which will be offered pupils
Brother Frank, Principal Of St. An

WERE DELAYED
BY HEAVY WEATHER
THOMAS AND NEvADAN SHOULD
HAVE ARRIVED THIS MORNING
FROM THE COAST

There is evidently heavy weather be-
tween the Coast and the Islands. Both
the transport Thomas and the S. S. Ne
vadan were out longer than usual, and
it is thought that rough weather de-
tanned them. The transport should have
arrived this morning early from San
Francisco. She sailed on time from the
Coast on September l. She has been
out eight days. The Nevadan sailed
from Seattle August 80 so she is out
ten days, ample time in which to have
arrived here under ordinary circum-
stances.
Two vessels left the port today. They
were the French bark Cambronne for
Portland and the bark Kaiuani for San
Francisco. Both went in ballast. There
was no sugar for the Kaiulani.
The bark r. p. Rithet is expected to
sail by Wednesday for San Francisco,
with 1000 tons of sugar. She will take
a full load.
The Hawaiian Isles had taken some
sugar. She will finish discharging coal
and haul over alongside the railway
wharf and there take the remainder of
her load of sugar for San Francisco.

THE WORDS ON
CHE IA TICKET
OFFICER APANA Is REQUIRED TO
GIVE THE LIST FROM MEMORY
IN COURT.

Chew It,. was the rather remarkable
name of the defendant who occupied the
attention of Judge Gears court for the
major part of this morning. The charge
against him was one of having che ia
tickets in his possession. Frank An
drade acted for the defence and AS
sistant Attorney General Prosser con-
Quoted the prosecution.
The principal witness summoned was
the officer who made the arrest, Apana,
and his testimony was severely search
ed by Andrade. Apana was put to the
test of repeating from memory the DIFF
ferent words occupying the thirty six
spaces on the particular che ia ticket
which was put in evidence. He came
through successfully but the words he
repeated and which We're duly translat-
ed by interpreter Bush would spoil the
sale of any Sunday school book. The
case is proceeding this afternoon.

FEW BIRDS TO FIGHT
THE LEAF HOPPER
sCHLEMMBR DID NOT BRING
BACK AS MANY BIRDS AS HR
EXPECTED FROM LAYsAN.

Captain Max Schlemmer's recent trip
to Laysan island was not quite SO sue
cessful in one respect as he had hoped.
He had planned to bring a large num-
Der OF canaries and wingless birds back
with him, for the purpose of letting
them loose on the plantations to cope
with the leaf hopper.
When he visited Laysan the trip be-
fore the last, he left orders for the
japanese to catch a large number OF
birds. When the schooner Robert
Levers left Laysan on her trip home
last month, Captain Schlemmer had a
large number of the various varieties of
birds. Unfortunately the trip lasted
longer than usual, with the result that
a large number of the birds died. Cap
tain Schlemmer's experiment will not
therefore, be a good trial but he win
try on hfs next trip to Laysan, to bring
back more wingless birds and turn
them loose among the leaf hoppers.

TWO BIC YACHT
RACES IN REGATTA
YACHTSMEN HOLD MEETING TO-
DAY AND DECIDE TO MAKE RE
COMBINATIONS.

A meeting of the yachting committee
on regatta day sports was held at noon
today for the purpose of making recon-
mendatiOns for the yachting races for
Regatta Day. 1t was decided TO re-
commend only two yacht races. The
first race will be composed of yachts of
the first and second classes while the
second race will be for third class
yachts. Handicaps will be arranged for
the various yachts in the first race so
as to put the competitors on equal
terms. The race will be over the usual
regatta course, from the spar buoy out
to Waikiki, then to a buoy off Pearl
Harbor and back to the lighthouse.
The regatta committee met last night
and decided in general on the program
for the days events. 1t was decided
to follow the program of last year. The
swimming and diving events however
will be eliminated but some special no
velties including a launch race will be
given.
