sailors who We're of the crew of the

The sailors say the vessel was leaking
then and that at 10 O'Clock at night
there was feet of water in the hold.
Almost from the time of getting out
through the reef the vessel began to
take in sail to ease the strain and the
lee pump was kept going all the time.

Treasurer Campbell has cabled here
for copies of the House and Senate
journals of the last session, but no
news of a sale of bonds has yet come.
This may mean that the legality of
the issue of $780, 900 has been called in
question in the East, and that the
Treasurer is up against it in trying to
make a sale. There has been plenty of
time for negotiations but for some rea-
son no news of a sale has come. 1t is
thought possible that Governor Car
ter's misgivings are proving well
founded and that the high price of
meney in New York is preventing a
sale at the legal price
The cabled request for copies of the
journals is not easy to understand un-
less some legal complication has aris-
en-. The issue is under the old loan act,
the legality of which was thoroughly
established to the satisfaction of gov
ernment officials and eastern fnanciers
at the time of former issues under that
act. In the case of the present issue
of $750,0O0 all legal formalities were set
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-01-12

tied by Atkinson, and the bonds wer8
issued and were signed by Campbell
before he left here. All that was sup
posed to be left to be done was to sell
and deliver them. This, up to this af-
ternoon, Campbell had not done, and
instead he cabled for copies of the leg
islative journals.
One explanation is that the discus
sion of the legality of the governors
action in cutting the issue to $75O,OO0
when the Legislature passed an act for
considerably more, has been taken up
by the possible bond buyers, and they
want to look into it. As a part OF
their investigations they would want
to know just what the Legislature here
did.
Even on these grounds the cabled re-
quest for the legislative journals is
hard to explain, for there are six or
seven copies of them on file in various
departments in Washington and Secre-
tary Atkinson has taken them East
before. The copies as asked for have
been sent to Campbell in New York,
and he is waiting for them now.

cit is now up to the merchants of
Honolulu" said~J. A. McCandlCss this
morning. "If they will agree to fur
nish a reasonable amount of freight
from San Francisco here, new steam
ship line is assured"
"What about freight from here to
San Francisco?" was asked.
ooh, that is already assured" was
the reply. "The sugar men have agreed
to furnish that.
IF the merchants agree to furnish
the freight from the coast here, men
and money stand ready to provideka
steamship which shall be not less than
45O feet long, have accommodations for
200 cabin passengers, have a capacity
for 5000 tons of freight and be able to
make the trip in five and three-quarter
days. In other words it shall be a
chip equal to the best that comes here.
ct am going before a meeting of the
executive committee of the Merchants
Association this morning, and am go
ing to tell them that it is up to them
to furnish the freight. OF course they
will be asked to subscribe to some eX-
tent to the capital stock of the com
pany, but not necessarily to any great
extent, as that is already practically
provided for. But it is freight from
San Francisco to here that we want.
1 have been working hard on this thing
and L have kept away from the mer7
chants until 1 was in a position to
assure them of a steamship if they
would furnish the freight from San
Francisco here"
]. A. McCandless took up the matter
of new steamship line to the coast
some time since. He has devoted a
great deal of time and energy to it,.
There is not a man of large business or
of influence in the islands whom he has
not discussed the matter with He
went into the matter thoroughly secur-
ing statistics of cost and necessary in
come. He has secured from some of
the plantation agencies assurances of
sufficient freight from this port to tho
coast to entirely solve the question of
freight that way. He made a trip to
the coast principally in the interest of
this new shipping line and did as eff
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-01-12

fective work on the coast as he has
done here.
Before the executive session of the
new board of the Merchants Associa-
tion this morning, j. A. McCandIess
addressed the board by special permis-
sion, and in an incisive speech placed
before the representatives of the busi-
ness community the exact condition of
affairs as regards the establishment of
a local line between here and San
Francisco.
Robbed of all verbiage McCandless'
proposition was that if the local mer-
achants could guarantee enough freight
between San Francisco and this port
the new local steamer would be a go"
THE placing of special Honolulu
steamer on the run between here and
San Francisco depends entirely upon
the amount of freight that can be de-
pended upon from San Francisco here"
said McCandless I'VE have the men
and the capital standing ready to put
on a ship 450 feet long carrying 200
cabin passengers and 5000 tons of
freight and maklng.the trip I'm five and
three quarter days if the business down
can be guaranteed
THAT we need ship is obvious" he
continued. up in San Francisco
was told definitely and distinctly by a
steamship agent that they did not care
about the Hawaiian business. OF course
from a business standpoint no one can
blame the companies-theyw would rath-
er have a 5000 man occupying a berth
to Hong Kong than a SIS man only as
far as Honolulu, but that does not help
us any.
THE matter is in your hands gentle
men for discussion, the point is that
if we can get the freight, We can get
the steamer"
The opinion that the matter was one
of vast Importance to Hawaii was
generally expressed and a special COM
mittee consisting of w f. Dillingham;
A. Gartley and E. II. Paris was ap-
pointed to interview the merchants and
discover what their feeling was to-
wards the project and get as much
data as possible on the question Of
down freights.

GOOD TIME
Santa Claus Gives SkagWay
 Merry Christmas

Santa Claus has been fairly rioting about Skagway for the last several days. He has made his presence felt in every home in the city. In many of the homes he loaded beautifully dec. orated trees and ID others he tiled great rows of yawning stockings. He has visited all the churches and last night he made public appearance in person at the Arctic Brotherhood Christmas tree, which fairly groaned under the load of good things which it carried for the children of SkagwaY.
 The Arctic Brotherhood entertain ment was the crowning climax to the merriest Christmas Skagway ever had. The attendauce was So large that 1t filed the big hall, the reception rooms, corridorS and ante-rooms. Many found no room at all. It was the largest attendance they eyer had had at such an event in this city.
 The program was begun by an address by Arctic Chief Whittier, which was followed by an excellent musical pro- gram.
 The list of presents was very large. Every child in the city was remember ed as well os were many of the grown folks.
 The presents for the children were selected by Mrs. G. A. Rosenberg. Last night she was presented with a beautiful and appropriately engraved carving set by Camp Skagway as a token of it's appreciation of her services.
 After the distribution ot the presents there was a social dance.
