NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE crew of

John Nelson says: Dirty bread was
given out on the trip. The captain had
a brig built on deck as a reminder of
his authority. In this a Russian sailor
was confined for 120 days. The Rus

CUTTING Or }
Of EXPENSE
Many Salary Drawers
Are Retired From
Service.

Throughout the closing day OF 1901
the retrenchment axe at the canitol
was being welded. while the official
heads of conscious and Unconscious vic
Tins rolled into the basket Some of
| those whose names come Off the salary
lists will not know their fate until to-
morrow or later, but number face the
new year with knowledge of the neces-
sity of their hunting a job.
Governor Carter took counsel of diff
ferent heads of departments regarding
the cutting down of expenses under
their respective charges.
PUBLIC WORKS.
C. S. Holloway. superintendent of
Public Works, makes a material reduc-
ton in the working force of his de-
partment. He has asked the Repub-
lican organization for their recommen-
dation of four men in his staff The
Governor stated, in answer to a aues-
ton, that it would not be practicable
at present to dispense with the services
OF the Assistant Superintendent of
Public Works. With the rush of loan
appropriation works, there must be
some one in charge of the engineering
division. Mr. Holloway was willing all
along to take the immediate direction
of the engineering service, If the Gov
ernor would receive visitors coming on
business-in other words
perform the executive functions of the
department.
The Governor, however, shrunk from
the formidable contract. There is not a
business day in the year, hardly. when
there is not q constant succession OF
visitors to the Office of the Superintend-
ent seeking personal interviews with
him. AS the same thing is true regard
ing the Governors office, the proposal
just mentioned is simply that the Gov
ernoI should be In two places at one
time-this in q duplicate sense.
THE LAND COURT.
Judge Weaver OF the newly created
Land Registration Court, after the Tor
rens system, has had his trees trimmed
with the retrenchment pruning hook
The court surveyor will be busy this
month, but after that the work will be
given out by the day. The position of

more deputy registrarship. Appropria-
ions for the court generally are sus-
pended. to be resumed when there is
work to warrant expenditure.

TWO TOUGH
PROBLEMS
Tugboat EIeu and Old
Crown Of Royalty
Dead Stock.

Governor Carter, while speaking OF
public works yesterday afternoon, said
difficult problem was presented re-
garding the Government tug Eleu. AS
the matter stands, the tugboat is to be
tied up this morning, after nineteen
years of honorable and, most Of the
time, lucrative service.
There is no appropriation for either
repairs Or maintenance Of the Eleu.
Although latterly used in the garbage
service, the vessel is not essential
thereto. Governor Carter said the
question was whether the Government
had the right to sell the boat, and it
has been referred to the Attorney Gem
eral for ar opinion. The Governor
believes she can be sold for a Terri
torial realization, just as could be a
discarded wagon in the road depart
nlent. Although she is nominally
Federal property, there is probably no
need for the vessel in the United States
Navy.
Another bothersome little question is
what TO do with a battered old crown.

made a scandal when the 1888 revolu
tionary troops were quartered in the
palace. It has enough of the precious
metal in it to be called a golden crown
and goodly proportion of its jewels
are still intact. With the crown is
some fat silver plate of the royal
establishment which comes into the
same problem of disposal
AS the crown is in disreputable con-
dition for even show purposes. and the
crown that is supposed to have been
the real emblem of Kalakaua's regal
state and prerogatives is In the Bishop
Museum, the Governor is of opinion
that the metal should be reduced and
sold with the jewels. The proceeds
would pay some interest on the Ter
ritoria1 bonds. Governor Carter con-
siders this crown has no value from
a historical point Of view, for the rea-
son just stated, and it should neither
be turned over to the county nor lock-
ed up in a vault.

HANDSOME GIFT TO
MARSTON CAMPBELL.

| When FIVE o'clock sounded yesterday
| afternoon, Marston Campbell, Assist
ant Superintendent of Public Works,
(, was approached at his desk by several
| of the engineering department staff, all
wearing an air of mystery. Henry
| Vierra, with a few informal words on
behalf of his mates, presented Mr..
Campbell with hall dozen napkin rings
in a neat case as rnenlento of the
esteem in which the donors held the
recipient.
Each ring is composed of six Kala-
kaua quarter dollars, with diverse and
reverse sides alternating TO outer view.
Upon one coin III each ring the Ha-
waiian coat-of-a1ms is affixed in gold
and enamel natural colors, the opposite
coin being engraved with Mr.. Camp
bells initials in monogram design.
Mr.. Campbell was wholly surprised
but his acknowledgment of the gift,
though necessarily abrupt, was evident
ly heartfelt He said that he might
have been rather sharp with them at
times, but if so it had only-bee from
his constant desire for the good of the
department. The position he held was
always regarded bv him as a profess
sionaf and not a political one. If, there
fore, he mad ever OVeTSfepped. the
bounds of courtesy with any of them,
1t had been with the one end of placing
that department in the position it should
have. He would take the opportunity
of their handsome remembrance of him
to express his appreciation of the earn
esfness in discharge of duty which every
member of the staff had always ex-
hibited. The work of the past three |
years all over the Territory spoke for
itself, but the credit for if belonged |
to everyone of them as much as to |
himself

COAL LEADERS FOR
PEARL hARBOR

The taking on of coal by warships
| nowadays is an important part OF the
| maneuyers of fleet, and this was
| clearly demonstrated while Admiral
Evans fleet was in Honolulu harbor.
Captain Nlblack. who had charge of the
coaling of the seven warships, two coll
liers and the naval transportation yes
sells in all-had able assistants and
willing workers in getting the fleet into
shape.
Formerly it was considered the worst
kind of drudgery to coal ship, but pres
ent-day opinions have elevated coaling
to an important factor in fleet maneuv-
ers. When a vessel is coaling, officers
and men alike are denied liberty All
must stand by to perform whatever
duty is necessary. Even officers were
occasionally seen at the naval dock
holding sacks while seamen flied them
with coal. Officers and men alike were
begrimed with dust, but both had one
common end in view, that of getting
the coal into the bunkers as quickly as
possible.
All coaling here was done by brute
force. From coal pile to carts, from
carts to dock, from dock to ship, it
was all done by man handling shovels,
derricks and wheelbarrows.
When the Pearl Harbor navy yards
are completed the most improved type
of overhead coal leaders viii be used
so that the coal can be run down chutes
into the bunkers. With such apparatus
the taking on of coal Will be an easy
matter and vitality valuable time Will
be saved, especially if warships are in
desperate need of hurried action.
What can nullify the speed of a yes
sci of twenty-one knots more than TO
come into a dock and spend four days
coaling when half or quarter of that
time only should be required COM
mented naval officer yesterday. Her
great speed is not of much value when
she has to remain in port so long.

win direct to the advantages of the use
| of accurate standard time throughout
| the world. This is a matter in which
| the United States can fairly claim to
have taken the lead, when, twenty
| years ago. the American Railway Asso-
citation, with the cooperation of the
Naval Observatory, adopted the present
system of standard time, and by gem
eral consent it went at once into opera
ton throughout the entire country. Ac-
cording to standard time the Washing
ton midnight signal, if flashed instan-
taneously around the world, would
reach every point on the exact hour or
half hour. according as the Is degrees
or ~ degrees meridian were adopted as
the standard at any stated place.
Thus at Washington, midnight. Dec.
81 corresponding to a. m, Jan. 1, at
Greenwich}, it will be exactly 1 a. M.
Jan. 1, in Porto Rico; II p. m, Dec. 81.
at Chicago. st. Louis and New Orleans;
10 p. m. at Denver. 9 p. m. at San Fran
cisco, p. m. at Sitka, $50 p. m at Ho-
nolulu and / p. m, Jan. /, at Manila,
the date changing at the 1S0th meridian
in mid Pacific. BY standard time, it
will be exactly noon, Jan. 1, at Singa-
pore. but by local mean time 11h 55rn
25s a. m.
The use of standard time has grad
ually spread as its advantages have
been realized, and it is hoped that the
time will soon come when the practice
of adopting an even hour or half hour
meridian east or west from Greenwich
as the standard time meridian for a
wide area, instead Of using local time in
each city and town, will become uni
versal and be established everywhere |
by law as well. as custom.
Finally, where those new years half |
time signals go. and it seems probable |
now that through voluntary public and |
private cooperation they will be heard |

GRAND JURYMAN
ON THE VOUCHERS

A member OF the grand jury states
that the final report of that booy was
drawn mild with regard to the vouch-
ers, at the especial request of the At
torney General, so as not to prejudice
the matter with the January term
grand jury. Further, he says that
Assistant Attorney General Rawlins
was present at the adoption of the
report, which had his approval.
AS 10 the matter Of time, the same
informant states that the vouchers
matter was not presented to the grand
jury until December II. The strongest
case was brought forward for the mi
tial one as a test, and, when the vote
thereon came short of the number to
indict, both the Attorney Generals
and the jurors voting for
an indictment deemed it useless fur
Their to pursue the matter. Hence its
passing on TO the next grand jury.
