More days Of waiting passed-days

Such a condition waits only on the

In the person of one Seled, who for
long time had secretly cherished feel.
ings of jealousy against Moses. which
has been deepened and intensified
since coming to Mount Sinai, owing to
the religious system which was de-
velOping under the direction of Moses.
This attitude was due to the fact
that Seled had been reared by an
Egyptian who had given him many
advantages, educating him under the
tutelage of the priesthood, from whom
he had acquired much knowledge of
the Egyptian gods and the Egyptian
form Of worship. This early training
and these associations had eXerted d
strong influence upon him, and while
he remained true to his Hebrew line.
age and Hebrew God, and found his
place with the Hebrew people when
they left Egypt under the lead of
Moses, he still felt the fascination of
Egyptian forms Of worship, and had
since coming to Mount Sinai felt
strong inclination growing within him
to make the worship Of their God as
pompous and festive as that of
Egypt,
And during Moses absence this de.

CASHIER COOKE
TALKS ON VAUlT

Z. III. Cooke, cashier of the Bank of
hawaii. said to an Advertiser reporter
yesterday:
Il think that the securities and req
ords in the different banks and other
financial institutions of San Francisco
are probably safe in the vaults. 1t is
my impression that this was the case
in the Baltimore fire.
Some particulars of the Baltimore
ire which were given in a mail special
to the Advertiser would indicate that
the large financial institutions found
their paper wealth intact in their
vaults. This appears under date of
FEBRUARY 49, 1904, three days after the
flre started and the second day after
1t had burned out:
Financial institutions are TODAY
puslly engaged iii carting their secu
rites and funds to temporary offices
outside the confines of the burned dis
trict."
1here is nothing in the account TO
know that any loss was sustained from
neat penetration of vaults.
With regard to ordinary safes. it is
piece of wisdom, long ago learned
at cost, not to open the receptacles
until they have been thoroughly cool
ed. II a safe is opened when hot like
an oven, its paper contents are ant
instantly to take fire. ..

SORT OF MAN
M'KENNA IS

McKenna, the cable superintendent
at San Francisco who opened up COM
munication from that city with the
rest of the world, is a Canadian by
birth. He has worked under Mr..
Gaines, superintendent of the local Of
fee, and is known among his associ-
ates as a man who never tires.
IF there was any trouble at the
office, McKenna was sure to turn up
and work right along until the rush
or trouble was over" said Mr.. Gaines
yesterday.
McKenna is about 35 years old, 6
feet 1 inch tall, and is married.
Mr. Gaines stated last evening that
Mckenna had not only saved all the
instruments in the town office, but had
got them all safely out to the hut"
The only thing he lacked were bat
teries. The instruments saved were
those of the elaborate duplex system,
as well as the testing apparatus. When
one sees the duplex instruments in the
local cable office, the wonder increases
that McKenna and his men ever trans
ported them across the peninsula. In
the local office the duplex system is con-
tanned in six booths, each containing
ten heavy chests. McKenna also saved
a months files of messages

HAS HAUNTED
CABLE OFFICE

Ever since Honolulu was notified Of
the disaster at San Francisco the local
cable office has been haunted by a
young man named Crawford whose
father, mother and grandparents re-
side in the Richmond district of San
francisco. Only when it becomes
necessary for him to get his meals
does he leave the vicinity of the office.
Mr.. Gaines found him at 3 a. m.
Thursday sitting on the curb and IN
vited him inside the Office.
We'll, 1 don't suppose a young fell
low like me can show his respect for
his parents better than by keeping in
touch with the only thing that connects
with the place they're in dead or
alive" said the young man.
Crawford came here in December as
a member of the crew of the Alameda
and remained-is now working with an
electrical company.

| tives in the city who have not beer
heard from.
Mr. Giffard was skeptical as to tbs
extent of the damage reported in tbs
early dispatches. Every agent here
has sent a n.essage asking for par
ticulars and it is strange We do not
hear from our representativ The
report that the Spreckels refinery has
been destroyed may be correct, but it
is strange that we have not heard of
it in this office. There are three
Spreckels refineries in the State. but
we are not told which one it refers 70
and for that reason L am inclined to
the opinion that the message in which
the statement was made was gather
ed in New York from the columns of
one of the daily papers which, in such
times, does not always linger close 20
truth
The action of President Roosevelt in
ordering the coin of the mint to be
distributed called forth most favorable
comments from the public and at the
same time it was looked upon as 4
most unusual proceeding. AS an
emergency measure it was permissible,
for the coin capital of the entire city
was buried in the ruins and the only
available cash was that in the vaults
Of the mint. There is no doubt of the
immediate necessity for the money and
President Roosevelt found a way Of
putting il into circulation without
having to bother Congress in the pre-
llminary steps. This is the way the
people of this city expressed them
selves and the President rose in their
opinion according as he would help the
sufferers.
The shipping interests in Honolulu
were stirred from center to circumfer-
ence by the late report that the
We're burning. 1t is the opin-
ion of some of the shipping masters
that the vessels We're removed out into
the harbor at the first sign of danger
so that they might be safe from de-
struction. This feature of the disaster
may bring consequences to Honolulu
that were not at first thought: this city
depends largely upon the market of
San Francisco for certain supplies and
unless they arrive regularly bad re-
suits will follow. If the Sonoma got
away on Thursday she would bring
down an immense quantity of food
stuffs and without which there will be
q shortage. This applies more partic
ularly to the ice house goods that
should have been, in the regular order
Of loading, placed on board on Wednes-
lay last. II is already noticed that
there is a tendency in some quarters
here to raise the price of commodities
and the frugal housewife will within
l few days curtail in the use of butter

, and the regular customer at the res
taurants who has been ali the time
accustomed to having two pats with
his waffle will have to content him
self with one and make it go around.
The officers and passengers on tbs
America Maru expressed surprise at
the news that greeted them on their
arrival and there We're some of the
passengers, those with homes in San
Francisco who showed a decided dis
position to return 10 the States on the
first steamer. The impossibility to Sc
cure answers to their cabIegrams made
the uncertainty greater and their de-
sire to return stronger. One of the Of
fcers stated to a reporter for this pa
per that he had noticed a marked
shortage in the supply of float coal
such as is used for bunkering trans
pacific steamers, and he and the other
officers of the steamer are of the
opinion that vessels scheduled to leave
since the departure of the America
Maru may be unable TO leave owing
to difficulty in securing a quantity of
this coal
The steamer Mauna Loa arrived from
Hawaii early yesterday morning, the
first of the island fleet to reach here
since the news of the disaster was re-
ceiVed. One of the passengers says the
news reached Honuapo Wednesday
morning as the passengers We're en-
barking on the steamer. There We're
rumors of all sorts, none of them
of less import than that the entire city
had been destroyed and half the in
habitants killed. 1t is possible that
the news reached Hawaii by wireless
n esSage, several having been sent from
here within a short time after the ac-
cident was reported, and the usual
number of rubber necks'' on the land
wire line caught the message and gave
it out. The anxiety was allayed later
when the news properly disseminated. |

SEND THE
MANNING UP

The suggestion was made last even
ing that it might be wise to get au-
thority to send the United States rev.
enue cutter Manning from Honolulu to
San Francisco, taking along one or
even three representatives. from the
business community to look after the
Hawaiian Bureau in San Francisco,
recommended by Acting Governor At
kinson to be established there for the
relief of Hawaiians. The Manning is
doing nothing here at present and has
no cruises mapped out. She is regis
tered as a 16-knot boat and could easily
make the trip to San Francisco in
a bout five and a-half days. The Lawton
could make the trip in six days ana

eleven days

Boise Idaho, Sept 5.-The so-called
