Quiet reigned again at the "Sign of

RUINS OF THE co L1sEUM AT ROME.

Convention, having met in Jerusalem,
the birthplace of the Christian church,
should gather now in Rome, that
world-center where the Christian
church fought and won its notable
triumphs."
DR.. Bailey, the head of the world
committee, is business man of Phila-
delphia, who is one of the foremost
Christian leaders. of that city, and has
long been actively identified with the
Sunday school association. Dr. Bailey
gave me further details regarding the
coming convention, as follows:
"The convention has awakened a
great deal of interest in all parts of
the world. Our friends in Great Brit
ain are making elaborate plans and
will attend the convention in two par
ties, one starting at London and 60
ing overland to Rome, holding confer
ences and conventions in the larger
cities en- route in France, Germany.
Switzerland and the northern part of
Italy. The other party will go by
steamer, visiting points on the Medi-
terrannean and landing at Naples.
1T is expected that delegates will
be present from every part of the
world. We have already assurances
that a number of missionaries from
India, China, the Levanr, and from all
missionary districts in continental Eu-
rope will attend the convention We
expect large delegation from Aus
tralia.
Upon the program win appear a
number of names of worldwide re-
nown. Among these may be men
toned F. B. Meyer, Dr. G. Campbell
Morgan, Rev. Frank Johnson, Mr.
Charles Waters, of Great Britain, and
such men as DR.. John Potts, Mr.. Ma
rion Lawrence and many other men
of renown of America
This is to be a missionary Sunday
school convention and missionary in
terests will have the right of way.
The delegates from America will hold
meeting with the missionaries at
Funchal, on the island of Madeira, at
Algiers, Genoa, Naples and perhaps
at Gibraltar. If our plans unfold, Sat
urday evening, May IS, will witness
perhaps the largest Protestant gath
ering ever assembled in the city of
Rome. Sunday morning, May 10, the
Lords Supper will be celebrated in
the leading churches. Sunday after,
noon the convention sermon will be
preached by DR.. G. Campbell Morgan.
The regular sessions of the conven-
ton will be held in the afternoons
and evenings of the days that follow.
The mornings will be given up to con-
ferences and institute and committee
work. The language of the conven-
ton proper will be English, but pro-
vision will be made for those who
speak nothing but German, French
and Italian"
The American delegation will go to
Rome in specially chartered steamer,
just as the delegation in 1904 attended
the Jerusalem convention in a special
ship. This cruise will constitute one
of the most valuable features of the
convention, for meetings will be held
on the steamer all the way going over
and returning, and as stated by DR..
Bailey, several missionary conferences
will be held.
The steamer is expected to leave
Boston April 81, and en- route to Rome
the delegates will visit the quaint and
beautiful island of Madeira, as we'll as
Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Pompeii,
Genoa and Pisa.

native stevedores are at the vessel
ready to work in any way necessary.
Captain Metcalf has not however in
dicated whether any help will be re-
quired. A second ton anchor from
the vessel was put out astern yester-
day afternoon This makes the second
anchor of that since that has been
safely placed, the other one having been
put into place astern last Saturday.
There are now, l believe, seven anchors
out.
Il can not state now whether her own
engines will be used in connection with
the efforts to float her We do not
know whether the screws or shafts
have been injured or not. No diver
has as yet been sent below to examine
her. I presume that Captain Metcalf
will attend to that feature of the work.
The situation continues very satisfac-
tory and we are hopeful of saving her"
Captain Smith of the dredger Pacific
came over to the city this morning from
the Manchuria. He re ports that con-
dtions continue favorable for the ves-
sell The work of putting out more
anchors and lines is continuing. For
tuhately the vessel has not been dis
turbed in her cradle very much and
there is notnow such an imperative de-
mand to get down anchors as there was
at firsu
It was stated at H. Hackfeld and
Company today that no request would
be made of the 5. S. America Maru for
any tackle, as there was sufficient
tackle available now, for the immediate
requirements of the Manchuria.
The tug Fearlss is now doing the
towing work for the vessel, replacing
the I1leu. The Fearless made one
trip starting last Saturday to the Man
churia and started again this morning
about ? o'clock for the wreck. The scow
Pioneer was loaded with barrels and
packing cases to enable the various
movable furnishings of the vessel such
as living utensils and bedding and
things of that character. to be packed
and sent over to Honolulu for storage.
A number of cases of silver ware from
the Manchuria We're brought over last
week by the Eleu at the time that the
cases of coal oil were transferrd from
tn forward dck of the Manchuria to
the Pioneer.
The new telephone line from Wal
manalo to the scene of the wreck was
completed last Saturday and has since
been i'm operation.
Between 400 and 500 sightseers visited
the scene of the wreck yesterday. Prac-
tically none of the visitors went
aboard the vessel. All manner Of con-
veyances were called into requisition.
Many people walked.

CAN Save
MANCHURIA
AT LEAST so THE VIKING SAYS
HE WOULD DREDGE HER AND
THEN BLAST HER OUT.

Captain Wesbarth, Hawaii's viking,
is disguised. He says that it is a re-
Election on the large number of sea
captains about these islands that out
side help has to be called to salve the
wrecked Manchuria. The captain feels
perfectly competent to handle the
proposition. The only things he lacks
are the chance and the money.
Il do not think it is right" he eX-
claimed Indignantly this morning, ito
ignore us captain and sea-farlng men
here. Amt we capable of doing this
thing? I can do it if they will only
give me the chance and the money.
II was down to Hackfelds this morn
ing TO see about it, but somebody there
said that Mr.. Klebahn had charge Of
il and I had better see him. I think
1 will go back there again and see
them. That vessel ought to be saved.
How would save her? Well, it
would not cost much money i'm the
first place. Here is what l would do;
would get the Canadian dredger and
have her dredge all the sand from
around her Then 1 would see If the
Manchuria was on a coral ledge If
she was, I would put charges Of giant
powder in the reef and blow the ledge
away, and the vessel would drop out
into deep water The charges could
be put in so that they would not hurt
the vessel at all.

HILO, August 21.-Mr. J. A. Scott
goes to the coast by the Siberia leav-
ing Honolulu on the 4th prox carry
ing with him authority to purchase all
the necessary machinery for the Hilo
pineapple cannery. Mr.. Scott inspect
ed the Honolulu canneries on his re-
cent trip to that city and has possessed
himself of the information required in
making purchase of machinery. A
site for the mill has been secured on
the Hilo side of the Waiakea river
next to the railroad, of ample dimen-
sions to accommodate the cannery.
The machinery is to cost approximate
ly $4,000, and the cannery will have a
capacity of $4,000 cases of pineapples
a year. The equipment is to include
machinery for the manufacture of the
cans used. The building is to be COM

HUNDREDS
JOURNEY TO
WAIMANALO
PEOPLE GO ON FOOT. ON BICY-
Giles. HORSEBACK, BY CAR
RAGE AND BY AUTOMOBILE.

Probably four or five hundred peo-
pie went over to the scene of the Man
churia disaster Saturday evening and
Sunday. They went by every means of
conveyance. Scores of boys, youth and
went on bicycles, though these walked
a good part of the way.
Many went horseback. While every
available rig and automobile was
pressed into the service.
The larger portion of the visitors
went by way of the Nuuanu Pail. But
there was considerable number that
went by way of Kaimuki, the Waialae
road and the Makapuu pail. A dozen
or more started this way Saturday af-
ternoon, camping over night on the
way. The very first of the Kaimuki
cars Sunday morning began taking
others, and by O'clock yesterday
morning at least thirty people had
started from the end Of the car line to
walk to Waimanalo. A great many
others went on horseback, and it is
probable that seventy-fve people went
by way of Makapuu. Most Of these
returned by way of the Nuuanu Pail,
while few of those afoot, on horse
back or on bicycles who came by way
of the Nuuanu Pail returned by way
Of the Waimanalo Pail.
Early in the forenoon the region i'm
mediately surrounding the Waimana-

Gable advices of the tackle that Cap
tain Metcalf will bring by the Ventura
next Wednesday have been received by
H. Hackfeld and Company. The as
tonishing feature of the information is
the utter simplicity of the tackle. There
will be- three anchors ranging from
tons to tons each, 80 fathoms of heavy
chain and some minor tackle that can
be easily handled Metcalf was fully
advised by the local agents, of the
amount of tackle that was available in
Honolulu and on the vessel and he was
also acquainted with the manner in
which the anchors had been placed
about the vessel. In making his dis
positions for bringing appliances, Cap
tain Metcalf evidently took into con-
sideration local material.
The tug Fearless and the scow Pho
neer will be held in readiness in this
port, to go along side the Ventura the
instant she arrives so that the ma
terial of Captain Metcalf can be trans
ferred Immediately, if it be desired.
Immediately upon his arrival" said
e. j. MCClanahan the legal adviser of
H. Hackfeld and Company this morn
ing Captain Metcalf will be furnished
with a detailed statement acquainting
him with all of the information pos
sible about the Manchuria. The de-
tailed statement will tell all of the
anchors that have been placed; give
their location; the emount of lines on
them; the soundirgs about the vessel;
NJ. n Fy.,V
he vessel; all OF the tackle that has
ben put into 81 ICE; the tackle that has
not been used: the amount of cargo on

charts will be provided showing the
position of the anchors and the con-
ditlon of the vessel and in fact, every
detail of information that will ac-
quaint him with the conditions of the
vessel and what has been done to save
her from the time that she first went
aground until his arrival.
I'VE have secured an option on the
dredger Pacific and may use her as

used for dredging. Captain Metcalf
will also be acquainted with the avail
able steam power in the port for pos
sible use in helping to get the vessel
off. .a"
There has been no material change
in the position of the vessel. She
rested easily since last reports. She
has not developed any further leaks and
there has been no further damage to
the cargo. Two hundred and fifty

LICENSES
AND BOOZE
COLLECTED LICENSES LAST MONTH THAN
DURING THE ENTIRE PREVIOUS YEAR-BIG BUSINESS DONE
BY THE ORIGINAL PACK e. LIQUOR ESTABLISHMENTS
INDICATED LICENSE FIGURES

Returns from all the islands show
that during the last month, more IL
cense money was collected by the Ter
ritory than during the entire twelve
months preceding. This was owing to
the new law dating all licenses July 1
and requiring payment one year in
advance, hence during the next eleven
months payments will be comparative
ly small. The figures throw some light
on the fluctuations of the liquor and
other businesses, indicating a decline
in the fifth class or Original pack

During the twelve months up 90 July
1 last $196,944.54 was collected for IL
censes. In the month of July the sum
of 1888, 516.4O were taken in for licenses.
The figures for third, fourth and fifth
class licenses, being respectively the
wholesale, retail and Original pack
