FLEET COMING IS
COOLING JAPAN OFF

SAN FRANCISCO, October 10
"Japan's pride was in a chronic state
of fatulence and rapidly growing
worse until the United States decided
to send its battleshiD fleet to the Pa
cific," said Colonel Sir Edward Fitz-
patrick of the British army last night
at the st. Francis. He won the Vic
toria cross in South African cam
paigns and also has been a ball and
banquet room soldier, having been
military attache at the Washington,
Berlin and Toxic embassies. He left
his post in the mikado's capital but
few weeks ago, and his remark for
that reason bore more than ordinary
interest.
1T was wonderful" he went on,
| what a change came over the entire
people of Japan when the announce
ment was made that practically the
entire strength of the American navy
was to be concentrated in the Pacific.
The bowling, war seeking newspapers
| and politicians shut up at once. There
has been hardly yawp from any of
them since.
at was the wisest thing the Ameri-
can government could have done.
The japanese actually thought you
were afraid of them. They were
crowding you to see how much you'd
take But Is big fighting ships car
rying your Presidents big stick has
Knocked all the wind out of them
without having to use the club. It
was a quick cure for their colicky
pride.
japanese don't want to fight you
now. Their cockiness has deserted
them. But I believe it would return
if your Atlantic fleet should not come
around close enough to smite quick
and hard.
mo, I don't care to discuss Van
couver and the Japanese" Fitzpatrick
replied to a question. You know we
are allies. though those bally Canucks
don't seem to care"

CLAUDINE IN.

The Claudine arrived yesterday
morning from Hawaii and Maui ports
She brought So cabin passengers and
81 deck. Her freight list was COM
posed of the following articles: 81
sacks corn, 73 sacks rice, horse, 81
hogs, 20 packages bottles, 188 pack
ages sundries.
AS the Claudine was getting under
way at Kahului last Saturday, she got
wire rope belonging to the dredger
mooring. This wound around the pro-
peller, and it took until o'clock to
clear from it. As a result, the de-
livery of the mail at Laupahoehoe and
Hilo was five hours late.

FAVOR AMERICAN
HAWAIIAN PLAN
SChWerin Letter Does Not Meet
With Approval of
Merchants.

| That many of the citizens of Homo.
lulu fail TO agree with the sentiments
expressed by General Manager Schwer-
| in, OF the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, could be plainly seen yesterday
when the subject was one which occa-
stoned considerable discussion on the
streets. In speaking of the matter E.
A, McInerny said:
The letter which Mr.. Schwerin has
given out seems to me to be one of the
most contradictory things Of its kind
that have ever seen. He states that
a ship such as we need would cost
s2,500,000. Why, the American-Hawai-
ian offered the plans of such a vessel,
which would carry 250 frst-class pas
sengers and would cost but 81 ZOO, 900.
There should be better service between
here and San Francizco and 1 believe
that there are ways in which it may
be obtained.
The offer Of the Observation-Disclosures
ian company is a good one. 1 believe
there can be a contract made by which
the freight rate will be settled and also
rate on passengers. The steamship
freight from the local people, If the
business men of Honolulu are interest
ed in the line they will ship by that
boat and not by others. The fact that
they have money invested in such
vessel will be enough to ensure her
cargoes.''
L. G. Kellogg, the Pineapple King of
Wahiawa, was strongly in favor of
vessel which would carry fruit to the
Coast. He said:
Take the shipment of bananas from
this city. The rates which are being
made have forced the banana growers
out of business. The rate is forty
cents bunch. Now this one thing
must be noticed. The charge is by
the bunch, not by the pound. The
steamer companies will not make a
rate by the pound. At Wahiawa l
have acres of land which could make
more money off with bananas than
with pineapples, could I get a rate
to the Coast by the pound.
THE bananas we grow there are
better keepers than those grown at
Waikiki, and have a better flavor, but
grow in smaller punches. They have
only six hands to the bunch, where
the others have from ten to twelve on
an average. They charge me just as
much for the small bunch of six hands
as they charge for the largest bunch
which the other man produces. OF
course my small bunch of bananas will
not pay. If there was a rate on bana-
mas made by the pound / would, with
in two years, be ready to ship 100000
punches of bananas from Wahiawa
every twelve months. We could drive
the Nicaragua fruit out of the mar
ket
THE great thing about bananas is
that the little man, with only few
acres, can do as well as the big grow
er. He can ship at practically the
same cost as his larger competitor,
and that means a great deal in this |
Territory. With the present rate, by /
the bunch, only the large shipper has
any chance and one of our best indus |
tries is cut off completely

FIFTY THOUSAND TONS

When asked what he thought of the
prospects for shipping fruit to the
Coast should a suitable vessel be pro-
vided for the trade, Jared G.. Smith,
of the United States Experiment Sta
ton, was outspoken and voiced. from
the position of the best informed man
in the Territory on the subject, a
prophecy which is remarkable.
IF a proper steamer, in which the
fruit could be carried to the Coast
under the best of conditions, should be
started between here and San Francis
so, within five years the exports of
fresh pineapples would reach $4,000
tons per year There is no reason
that such a ship could not be run be-
tween here and the Coast and pay a
good profit.
1T is my belief that the steamship
companies are trying to hold up the
local merchants for long contracts at
high prices for carrying the freight,
and that they can be compelled to
come down. The shipments of fruit
will be increased with a wonderful
rapidity as soon as proper facilities
for its shipment have been provided.
The market for our pineapples is wait
ing for US just as soon as we reach
out for it."

PER ANNUM
. FRANCIS MURPHY.

Francis Murphy, the advocate of
total abstinence, is dead. The full
ness of the harvest of good that the
temperance worker brought in the
field never will be known, but it is
known that he did hard work we'll.
The hold that Murphy held on
men was due in part to the fact that
he knew personally the strength of
temptation. He knew the fight that
was necessary to break habits bonds,
and the sympathy that goes for much
was his in full measure.
There are men and women, estim-
able for the most part, who see in the
return of drinking man to his liquor
nothing but the pure cussedness of
deliberate SHINING. Some of these
estimable ones couldn't conquer a
nail-biting: habit if they tried, but
the fact in no wise enters into the
matter of their judgment of others.
Francis Murphy knew the weakness
of men and he knew their strength.
He brought strength out of weakness,
when others, faint-hearted, gave up.
The world is better for his life.

Norwich and Herring Pye.

Tor many centuries the city Of Nor

twenty-four herring pies for the royal
kitchen. Blometield in his History
of Norfolk" referring to this quaint
service, prints letter from the house
hold officers of Charles l., making
'''divers Just exceptions to the quality
Of the pies which had been forwarded
by the city sheriffs.
The main exceptions read as follows:
"First, you do not send them accord
ing to your tenure Of the first new her
rings that are taken.
Secondly, you do not cause them to
he we'll baked in good and strong
pastye, as they ought to- be, that they
may endure the carriage the better.
"Thirdly, whereas you should by
your tenure bake in these pastyes six
score behring's at the least, being the
great hundredth, which doth require
five to be put into every pye at the
least, we find but Tower behring's to
be in divers Of them.
~ "Fourthly, the number Of pyes which
you sent at this tyne we find to be
fewer than have been sent heretofore,
and divers of them much broken.

bringer Of them was constrained to
make three several Journeys to you be-
fore he could have them, whereas 1t
seemeth he Is bound to come but

The Gosnel of Good Cheer.

People loved Robert Louis Steven
son not because he was an admira BILE
writer, but because he was a cheerful
consumptive. He was a sufferer who
for many years increased the gayety
Of life. Genius alone can do this on
a large scale, but everybody can do it
on little one. Our safest guide is the
realization Of a hard truth-that we
are not privileged to share our trou-
bles with other people. If we could
make up our minds to spare our
friends all details of ill health, Of mon
ey losses, Of domestic annoyances, of
alterations, Of committee work, Of
grievances, provocations and anxieties,
we should sin less against the world 8
good humor. 1t may not be given us
to add to the treasury Of mirth, but
there is considerable merit in not rob-
bling it-Agnes Repplier in Harpers
