PUBLIC WILL PAY THE FREIGHT

Property owners throughout
the United States are to be as
sessed in order that the insurance
companies may pay the enormous
losses in Frisco without any loss to
themselves. In other words, all
insurance rates are to be advanced
by the companies thus 'stuck,"
and the public will "pay the
freight" This means that the
people of Georgia will soon be
called upon by the Southeastern
Tariff Association to pay a greater
premium for their protection
against fire. Some of the larger
companies, it is said, have with
drawn from the association that
first advanced the rates, but the
most of them were willing to see
the new rate go into effect.

AGAIN TnE PORT RATE CASE
In his recent speech in Bryal

In MS recent speech In Bryan
county, Hoke Smith returned
again to the port rate case. This
is Atlanta's "strong point" and
the freight bureau of that city has
been forcing this issue at all times.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Smith took up this question at
Waynesboro and the Savannah
Press gave full report of that
part of his address. Mr.. Smith is
supposed to voice the grievance of
Atlanta when he says that "the
reduced rates from Eastern points
to the ports, coupled with the low
rates that could be obtained by
shippers when they selected their
own ships for water transporta-
ton, would give a combined rate
to Georgia points much less than
the through rates now charged"
Mr.. Joseph NJ. Brown wrote a
strong answer to this part of Mr..
Smiths speech.
He showed that the port rates
Mr.. Smith had asked for "to en-
able Atlanta to extend her trade
in Georgia territory" were less
than the proportional between
Savannah and Atlanta on the
through rates given between BOs-
ton and Atlanta. Mr.. Brown add
ed that it was not unusual to
make between two points in state
rates which were lower than the
proportions between the same two
points of a long through haul.
Mr.. Brown further showed that if
these port rates were given from
Savannah to Atlanta they would
have to be given from Savannah
to other Georgia cities.
Mr.. Brown insisted that if Mr..
Hoke Smiths contentious were
allowed the state railroad commits
sion would have to grant an I'M
heard of proposition and bankrupt
the roads. The port rate asked
for, he thought, was not a just and
reasonable rate. The rate which
Atlanta is asking for is lower than
the rate granted by the railroad
commission for a like distance in
any of the Southern states.
Mr.. Brown says that conditions
do not prevail in Atlanta requir-
ing such drastic reductions.
Mr.. Smith went on to say in
Bryan county that Col. Estill had
used his influence to prevent the
granting of these rates. Col. Els
till did in his paper what the Sa
vannah Press, the Chamber of
Commerce and the other trade
bodies in Savannah did-protest-
ed against the granting of rates
which would give Atlanta trade
territory at the expense of Savan-
nah and other points in Georgia.
The Chamber of Commerce in Sa-
Vannah took steps to block this
one-sided movement of the Allan
ia freight bureau.
In the stove rate case and other
cases Savannah showed how un-
lust and illogical was the conten-
ton of Mr.. Hoke Smith and the
Atlanta freight bureau. Savan-
nah enjoyed certain advantages on
account of the Ocean Steamship
Company and her harbor, which
all of Georgia got the benefit of in
lower freight rates from the East.
Mr.. Smiths argument, if carried
out, would have the effect of plac-
ing Atlanta ahead of any interior
point in Georgia and of multiplying
the effect of low water rates from
the East. Colonel Estill's position
is endorsed by Savannah and the
whole state in the matter of freight
rates. Savannah Press.

KUHIO
WITH MANY LEIS
THE DELEGATE ARRIVED FROM
WASHINGTON THIS MORNING
AND WAS NET BY FRIENDS.

There was not an especially large
crowd of people at the Naval wharf
this morning to meet the S. S. Siberia
on her arrival from San Francisco,
but the majority of hose who were at
the wharf went to greet Prince Kuhio
Kalanianaole who was home from at
tending Congress The Prince looked
quite well but was not so heshy as
when he went away. He was wear
ing glasses. He was dressed in a
grey sack suit. On the trip down the
Prince passed most of his time in the
smoking ROOM
He was met at the foot of the gang
way by the Princess Kalanianaole, Mr..
and Mrs. George Smithies, Senator
John Lane James l.. Holt Mr.. ana
Mrs. Charles Booth and other friends.
As soon as the Prince stepped from
the gangway his wife placed a pro-
fusion of pikake leis about his neck and
on his hat. There were dozens of
other leis given the Prince by friends.
There was a crowd of natives about
the wharf and outside of the entrance
to see the delegate return.

ALAMEDA STOPPED
At SEA YESTERDAY
SIBERIA SAW THE OTHER BOAT
ING MATERIAL.

Something was the matter with the
S. S. Alameda yesterday. She stopped
at sea for awhile. News of the occur
ence was brought this morning by the
S. s. Siberia. Evidently the cause of
the Alameda stopping was not serious,
for the Siberia passed close enough to
her to have enabled Captain Dowdell
of the Alameda to have asked for as
sistance or to have asked to be report
ed. Nothing of the kind was done.
The Alameda merely saluted the other
boat which did not therefore, stop.
The Siberia left San Francisco late
in the afternoon of July Z. She had
good weather to this port being
whistled shortly after daybreak. She
had locked at Naval wharf No. by s
o'clock. She brought large crowd
of passengers for Honolulu, among
them being some prominent people Of
the islands.
The vessel brought % tons of freight
for Honolulu and has about 5000 tons
of freight for the Orient. She did
not get a full cargo owing to the strike
in San Francisco. The vessel sighted

Delegate Kuhio on the refunding bill
Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole, or Cupid
as he was soon known all over the
Siberia, returned this morning on that
vessel apparently ready, like other
members of Congress, to arrange his
fences for another election. But as to
that he is coy about speaking. IF they
want me-" is the way the prince puts
IL when asked if he expects another
term
Kuhio is glad to be back and was
warmly welcomed by number of poll
teal friends on the wharf. The fact
that he is glad to be at home again and
tired of the life at the national Capitol
might have been inferred from his first
remark Damn Washington is what
it sounded like, being in answer to a
question as to how things were in
Washington. Kuhio has had quite
enough of it,-until the next session be-
gins and for a short time at least, he is
free to enjoy the easier life of the tro-
pics and to eat all the poi he can dis
pose of before he has to leave it again.
Kuhio was more disposed apparently
to ask questions about Honolulu and
