What Congress May DO.

washington, Nov 17.--At next con-
gress, which commences its sitting on
Dec 4th, some very important mea-
sures are promised to be introduced.
Among the first items on the legisla-
ture programme is the enactment of
some measure of relief for American
shipping engaged in foreign trade.
Those in charge of the measure have
been held back by the pre-eminence
given to other legislation, which, on
account of the state of public opinion,
was deemed to be more urgent. Now,
however, the advocates of some form
Of effective relief regard their cause
as having the right of way. Some of
their representatives go so far as to
say that the powers that be, both exe-
cutive and legislative, have given as
surance that a shipping subsidy law
owuld be put on the statute books at
the approaching session. 1t is rare-
ly that important legislation is en-
acted on a short session and this ses-
sion can only last until March A, but
should this measure pass 1t must not
be taken for granted that any imme-
diate Improvement must necessarily
come to existing lines in American
registry. The measure now pending
in the senate committees hands
promised little, IL any, substantial aid
to the few steamship lines OF import
ance, in order to meet the criticisms
that such aid would practically all go
to few large concerns. Questions OF
domestic commerce are bound to oc-
cupy much of the time of congress
The coal trade investigation and the
grain trade inquiry by the In
terstate Commerce commission are
likely to furnish matters for much dis
cussion. Under the La Toilette reso-
luton the fact of collusion between
railroads and primary grain concerns
has again been established, and the
state graindealers' association have
for the hundredth time been shown to
be acting in restraint Of commerce
both state and interstate. If Congress
does not consider this matter disap-
pointment will be great: but enforce
ment of the existing laws, rather thar
new legislation should be carried out
There Is no doubt but the question oi
banking, currency and finance will be
taken up at the first available oppor-
tunity as the country during the in
terval between last session and this
coming one, had before 1t the best ev-
idence of the necessity for some bet
ter readjustment of the country's fin
ances. to the rapidly developing needs
of business

HIGH Price of silver.

Washington, Nov 17.-It has tran

States treasury for subsidiary coin
age has cost 71.5S cents an ounce.
This is the highest price paid for sill

represents an advance of 24.58 cents

the breaking loose of small boats moor

canoes from Waikiki beach and, some
go so far as to declare that such is the
case, the noticeable change in the posi-
tion of portions of the reef off Diamond
Head and Waikiki.
For the last few days very high
tides have prevailed This condition
is nothing unusual This is the period
of the year when the sun and moon
are operating together and the tides
are in consequence, higher than under
the ordinary conditions The condi-
tion is an annual occurrence and has
caused no particular surprise at the Of
flee of W. A. Wall Of the survey de-
partment. who has charge of the tide
gauge recorder.
The tide gauge for November 10
showed that the difference between
high tide large and low tide small
was 2-1O feet This is a higher than
usual. The mean sea level is a little
higher than would prevail under ordi-
nary circumstances.
If a southerly wind should prevail
it would start the surf blowing in at a
surprising rate and cause people, along
the saa shore to wonder over the
presence of the high water The pre-
sent condition will cnange within a

The waves have formed a new habit
in their treatment of the city front and
old water frontiers are studying the
new conditions with a great deal of
interest, some at loss to explain the
unusually strenuous manner of the wa
ters that wash the city's feet and 9TH
ers attributing the strange facts to
distant seismic disturbances and let
ting it go at that.
Peter Baron, a conservative observer
and a veteran friend of the ocean, how
ever, has noticed that whereas prior
to about month ago the sea-wall be-
yond the channel wharf was seldom if
ever washed over by the waves, with
in the last few weeks great waves have
been combing over the wall with the
persistency of clock work.
In the immediate vicinity of the resi-
dence of Peter Baron there are a large
number of japanese fishing boats,
when the latter are not plying their
trade at sea. Here they moor and
here they take on the big blocks of ice
which are used to preserve the deep
sea food procured for market. The ice
is delivered at the mooring and the
blocks are slid along to within reach
ing distance of the boats.
For a long time the ice would stand
until the Japanese fishers were ready
to take it aboard, but latterly much Of
this ice has been washed away and
lost by the great waves that break over
the wall and the Japanese have to hus-
tie to beat the waves in the race for
the ice.
This is taken as a clear indication of
unusually high tides, or unusually
rough water.
One explanation is that it was ex-
pected that when the channel was
widened the waters in the harbor and
about the entrance would be rougher
than before, but waterfronters are in
clined to include the present rough
ness in the category of the years pc

consideration the unusual heavy west

Jolt In The
Political
Situation
MCCARTHY AND HIS LIQUOR BILL
CAUSES A JOLT WHICH PARTY
LEADERS FEEL.

For the past week politicians have
been slumbering more or less but it
seems that they are no more than to
be allowed to doze for a few moments
at a time. The latest thing to spring
a sensation was the report published
yesterday that Charles J. Mccarthy,
the one Democrat elected to the Senate
from Oahu, was framing a liquor bill
to be introduced into the Senate for
their action.
That report brought the Republicans
to their feet in an instant and this
morning it formed the main topic of
discussion where ever the party lead
ers CHANGED to meet. The Republicans
seemingly do not intend at all to allow
Senator-elect Mccarthy run away with
the honors of a decent liquor by having
him frame it. They want all of the
glory for themselves and they say they
intend to have it.
Should Mccarthy frame the law and
have it passed it would prove very
effectual big stick" in the hands of
the Democrats two years hence They
could simply compare the old with the
new and the Republicans would prob
ably have to back down before the
argument
But the Republican party leaders
seem to be awake to the fact and they
say they are now going to get to work
and frame up a bill which, to use
their phaseology 'will put McCarthy's
in the shade" They seem to realize
- IL, 49,
frame the bill and they viii therefore
try to prevent.
The speakership of the Senate is an
other question which is troubling the
leaders. Eric Knudsen of Kauai is
said to be working hard for the place
but it seems to be the unanimous OPT

Robertson
Summoned By
Roosevelt?
RUMOR HAS IT THAT HE WAS
SUMMONED TO EXPLAIN GER
TAIN STATEMENTS.

Although A. c. NJ Robertson, chair
man of the Republican Territorial Cen
trail Committee, left last Tuesday,
there are a number of people still spe-
culating as to his hurried departure
and the reason for it.
One of the reports which have been
spread is to the effect that Robertsons
speech at Aala Park during the course
of the campaign caused It. In that
speech he stated that the Home Rulers
were donkeys and that they only made
monkeys of themselves by carrying on
a hopeless fight. Now it is said that
the speech came to the ears of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and that Robertson was
accordingly summoned to Washington
to appear before the President and
explain his action.
However that may be it is fact that
Robertson left town without saying a
word even to his most intimate friends
that he was about to leave although he
was in the company of a party the
night before until nearly midnight. He
gave no reasons whatever and his in
tended departure was only learned
when he was seen upon the steamer.
Later in the day a few friends receiv-
ed through the mail notice of his de-
parture.

"There are 100000 Japanese ready to
come to this port" said Y. Idzumi
aboard the S. S. Shibata Maru this
morning
Y Idzumi is practically in command
of the S. S. Shibata Maru, for he is
young Japanese thoroughly conversant
with the English language and he re-
presents Sale and Frazar, Limited, the
amalgamation of English and Ameri-
can shipping firms.
1.-THE Shibata Maru only brought POI
Japanese to Hawaii on the last trip,
but this is no criterion. She will
bring 400 next time.
From the interior of the island Of
Nippon there are thousands upon
thousands who have heard of the ad-
vantages of Hawaii and they will
come to the coast ports to find passage
to Hawaii.
Hawaii is at present the Mecca of
the Japanese.
THE laboring class of the japanese
see in Hawaii an opportunity that
has never been elsewhere presented.
I'VE only brought POI to Hawaii for
the reason that there is great competi-
ton in the matter of carrying emf
grants from Japanese ports to Ha-
waii.
