The statement of the receipts and ex-

sified by islands and districts has been
sent by Governor Garter to the Ac-
counts Commission and that body will
shortly begin to hold meetings to con-
slider the form of revenue bill that will
be presented at the ensuing session of
the Legislature.
This commission, appointed by the
Governor, consists of Senator L. L. Nc

is to discuss the advisability of a reYe-

Il found it difficult to secure a straight
forward, serious offer from them. They
wanted to make a higher figure than
they expected TO get, counting on my
} coming back at them with a counter
proposition. Well,'' he added, Il am
content to leave future negotiations in
bonds for somebody else. But 1 think
the rate is pretty good. 1t is better
| than the figure secured for our last
issue of bonds by about S37, 500. That
was worth coming to New York for.
LAS I have already explained to the
officials in Hawaii it is always an ad-
vantage to sell bonds above par. 1t
fetches more as the dealers in bonds
say, whereas a bond that sells under
par must be disposed of at a relative
disadvantage. I have also tried to ex-
plain in Hawaii how important it is
to sell all of the bonds. The buyers
want control of the particular issue in
question and are willing to pay more
provided they are to have such con-
troll, than they would otherwise be will
ing to pay
Mr.. Atkinson says that the most of
the bonds will go to banks, where they
can be used at even a greater advan-
tage than the same amount of Govern
Tnent bonds.
HONOLULU HARBOR MATTERS.
Ever since he reached Washington
late last week the energetic territorial
secretary has been busy with a lot of
matters of Hawaiian interest. He has
had another interview with Secretary
OF War Taft, and discussed with him
the Importance of having an appropri-
alton for Honolulu harbor. The Sec
retary of War is going to help him in
every way possible, by personally see
ing Chairman Burton of the House
Rivers and Harbor Committee. and al
so by seeing other Senators and mem
bers. influential in shaping that Iegis-
lation.
When Secretary Taft asked me how
much money we wanted Immediately
for our harbor,' said Mr.. Atkinson to-
day, Il told him $3.50. 900. But am free
to say that 1 am going to work first I

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-The
new year has started with all the Ha-
waiians here working industriously for
territorial interests. The session of
Congress that was resumed yesterday
has but two months to run and every
body who wants something done is
getting very busy, lest the time be ex-
hausted before Congress can be per-
suaded To act. Secretary A. L. c. At
kinson is back here from his success
full trip to New York. He is establish
ed at the Albany Hotel to remain for
several weeks, according to authority
cabled him from the islands. This is
very gratifying to officials here, who
believe that he can be of great service
to the Territory. Delegate Kalaniana-
ole has returned from San Francisco,
where ne went to accompany his wife
to Washington. They are settled at
the Dewey Hotel on L street, near
Fourteenth. as is Mr.. George b. Nc
Clellan, who went to New York for a
short trip during the holidays. Mr.. J.
G.. Pratt has transferred his residence
to the Richmond Hotel. Mr. Alexander
Young went to Danbury, Conn. during
the holidays for visit with his old
friend. DR. w. G. Vile, where he had

JACK AND THE FINANCIERS.
''Jack'' Atkinson brought an interest
ing story back from New York about
his contract with the leaders of "Fren-
zfed Finance The outlines of it, how
ever have been told in his cable dis
patches to the island authorities. He,
was i'll for several days with a, severe
cold, but brought his negotiations to
q very successful termination, as judges
look at it here. He had the bonds
printed before he left New York, and
they were started on the way to Homo
lulu to be signed. 1t was intended
they should go by the Alameda, but it |
is thought that they missed that boat |
by a few hours and probably will go |
forward on the same steamer as car
