TO PULL SHERIDAN
AND MANCHURIA

With the arrival of Superintendent
Donnelly, of the transport service, and
his corps of assistants this morning on
the transport Thomas from San Fran
cisco the real work of relocating the
stranded Sheridan viii begin. The party
will be taken down to the wreck this
morning and make an inspection of the
vessel, from which everything in the
way of cargo has been removed, after
which they win return to Honolulu to
receive the wrecking gear to be brought
down on the transport Bufcrd, due to-
morrow.
This gear consists of powerful pumps
and hawsers, the idea of Superintendent
Donnelly, so far as known, being to
float the Sheridan with air tanks in
the pierced compartments, which viii
prevent her from foundering when free
from the rocks, and to pull her from
her position with all the available
power.
Provided the hopes of the wrecking
crews at the Manchuria are fulfilled
the vessels there, the Restorer, Pacific,
Manning and Iroquois, will be availa-
BILE for the rescue of the Sheridan, and
it is altogether likely that the Fear

less will be at work with them in both

1t is not yet definitely known what
are the orders of the two coming trans
ports, Thomas and Buford, whether they
will remain here for any length of time
or whether the one will continue at
once on her regular run for the Orient
and the other return with the Sheridan
passengers at once for the Coast.
At the Manchuria the big pull will
be done on Thursday or Friday. The
revenue cutter Manning is now at the
wreck and the Iroquois will sail for
there this afternoon at 3 O'Clock. All
her cargo has now been taken out and
her coal supply, some 1000 tons, piled
up on the upper deck in readiness to
be jettisoned if deemed necessary. All
the anchors will be in place by tonight.
Locally the greatest confidence is
expressed by those in charge of the
work that the big liner viii be dragged
back into deep water on this attempt,
but the advices sent from here and
given out by the officials and under
writers on the mainland are by no
means SO optimistic.

SHIP GOES THROUGH
NORTHWEST PASSAGE

NEW YORK, September "a cable
to the Sun from Christiania says: The
Norwegian polar expedition on the ship
Gjoa has reached Bering Straits, having
thus accomplished the Northwest pas
sage. The arrival of Captain Amund-
sen of the Gjoa at Fort Egbert,
Alaska, overland from King Point near
the mouth of the Mackenzie river, was
reported last December and it was stat
ed that Amundsen said he had located
the true magnetic pole on King William
Island and found the monument erected
by the Franklin expedition.
He had brought his little ship from
Norway via Gochaven, Greenland, Leo
poid Harbor, North Somerset and King
William Island to the mouth of the
Mackenzie river, thus making the
Northwest passage. Au.undsen came
over the ice to Fort Egbert and in
tended to return, make further mag
netic observations along the coast,
pass the winter at the mouth of the
Mackenzie and make his way to the
Pacific when warm weather set in, as
ne seems to have done. 1

MILK MAY Be
To BLAME
Epidemic of Sickness
in Section of
the City.

An unusual amount of sickness at
the stomach among residents in the sec
ton above Beretania street between
Fort and Punchbowl has caused an in
vestigation to be made by the Board
of Health as to the cause. At first it
was attributed to water, but is now be-
lieved to be due to the milk delivered
by. certain dairymen in that section.
Samples of the milk have been sent to
the Board of Health for analysis.
At ST. Andrew IS Priory seven out of
nine teachers were yesterday taken
with violent vomiting. None of the
scholars was affected, however. They
drink filtered water. Two of the
teachers who were not taken i'll, had
drunk no milk. Those who were i'll
had rdunk milk. None of the boys at
the Iolani College has been i'll. They
drink filtered and boiled water, and
generally use condensed milk. The
drinking water supply for the use of
the students is carefully looked after
at all times
Several boarding houses in that same
section have had similar cases of sick
ness among the boarders in the last
few days.
DR.. j. L. Mcdonald, bacteriologist of
the Board of Health says that some
hold to the idea that the illness comes
from the drinking of water, but he does
not believe it is the city water.

ATKINSON MAY ENTER

Secretary of the Territory Atkinson

months leave of absence, will ceie-
brate his birthday at sea today. 1t
is one of the most important birth
days of his life, for he becomes thirty
five years of age, and that age makes
him eligible now to become gov

There was some talk yesterday that
the Secretary contemplated resigning
from office in the near future, and
that he might take up some work on
the mainland. There is a strong prob
ability that he may do so. 1t has been
known here for some time that the
Secretary was offered last year a

dent Stensland, and the theories pro-
pounded to account for it, formed a
sensational feature of the case. It
was variously reported that traces OF
him had been found near our frontiers
and that he was dead. Stories averring
that he had led an extravagant life were
circulated. The fact that the bank was
ruined and that thousands of persons
had suffered loss through the bad man
agement of its officials could not be de-
MED, and as the head of the institution,
the chief responsibility and the greater
share of the blame rested on the missing
