CHINESE ADD TO
COMMON FUND

The contribution of the Honolulu
Chinese towards the San Francisco Re
lief Fund will be nearly $1,000, which
amount has already been collected and
is at once available. This was the de-
cisiOn arrived at, at their mass meeting
held last night in the Liliha street the
ater attended by at least IA thousand
contributors to the fund.
The meeting was a lively one, the
theater being packed with the Voluble
citizens of Chinatown. On the plat
form were the leaders among the vari-
Gus societies. who addressed the ex-
cited gathering in many vain attempts
to make themselves heard above the
babel. At no time during the meeting
was there any cessation to the noise
made by everyone expressing his opin-
ion, cheering what little of the oratory
could be heard or arguing violently
with those around.
The funds available in the hands Of
the Chinese societies amounts TO some
thing over $13, 900 and it was proposed
to forward the whole of this to San
Francisco. The restitution among the
Cinnamon there had been told in u
cable received by the Chinese Consul
here from the Minister at Washington,
but it developed that there was con-
siderable opposition to devoting all the
money to their relief. This sum had
been collected for forwarding to China
and many We're of the opinion that the
money should be divided. Hence the
uproarious debate, which continued for
nearly two hours.
Finally a vote was taken. a placard
being displayed on each side Of the
stage, one stating that all the fund
should be sent at once to San Fran
cisco, the other that the amount should
be equally divided between the Relief
Fund and the Canton Hospital, the
crowd choosing their placard and regis
tering their votes by shifting to one
side or the other of the house and
cheering as loudly as possible Fully
two-thirdS of the voters favored the
division of the fund, an announcement
to that effect being made from the
stage.
While a considerable part OF this
relief money will be spent at once in
the purchase of rice and clothing for
the San Francisco Chinese, the donors
have stated that they wish TO put the
remainder of it in the general fund,
recognizing that in wholesale calaul-
ity such as that at San Francisco,
there is no color line and no distinction
among classes. A common afflictioE
sweeps away class barriers and the
Honolulu Cinnamon want their con-
tribution to go into the fund for the
common relief Of AL.

stock of goods, most of which has been
due to his personal solicitation. The
Colonel hopes that by Saturday the
stock of things salable will be large
and that the fund derived from their
sale will be a good sized one. At pres

from Myrtle Cigar Store.

than the Chinese; they were at the
postoffice before the doors were opened
buying money orders to send to their
friends and relatives and many of
them showed to the committee that
called upon them evidence of their
thoughtfulness. But the fact that they
had already given was in but few in
