A MAUI POsTOFF|CE
EMP[OYE IN TROUBLE

1t was reported late last night that
a young man named Dillon had been
brought from Wailuku by Inspector
Hare, of the Postoff1ce department,
charged with being responsible for a
shortage in the waiiuku postoff1ce. His
name is also connected with a shortage
in the accounts of the railroad there.
On that charge he is out on bail. Much
mystery was made of the matter by
all concerned and it was difficult at a
late hour to get particulars, either of
the exact offense Of which the young
man stands accused, or of his imme-
diate whereabouts. 4~..lon was not in
the custody of the police nor at the
prison at midnight. when inquiry was
made.
A letter received from Kahuiui by
the steamer Claudine stated that Dill
Ion was arrested at Kahului on Friday
evening last.
The letter stated that when arrested
Dillon was on the point of leaving for
Maalaea Bay where he intended to
catch the steamer Kinau for Homo
lulu.
Assistant Superintendent of Railway
Mail Service Carr, seen by a reporter
last night, would give no information
beyond stating that the case belonged
to Postoff1ce Inspector Hare.
Inspector Hare when seen would say
for publication.
Dillon, besides being connected with
the postoffice, was in the employ of the
Railway Co.

DOWN CAME
THE RAIN
Honolulu Got a Foot
of Water Last
Month.

A low barometer last night gave lit.
tie promise that the present wet spell
is going to be ended right away, the
weather man in the Young hotel re-
fusing to hold out any hope of speedy
clearing up. The little pencil which
was scratching away in its mysterious
little box on his table had worked a
zlgzag pattern on it's way down the
paper roll, resting when it was exam
ined for the Advertiser at 1912 inches.
This is not as low as it went in the big
storm that ushered in the year, but Is
considerably below the mark registered
on Thanksgiving day. Then it showed
the glass to measure 29.S1, and around
New Years it was 29.46.
January was a very wet month. If
those who padded around the streets
need any further proof the figures of
the weather bureau furnishit. Normally
the rainfall for January in Honolulu Is
little over three inches, according
to the reports of the past eighteen
years. This year January contributed
just trifie less than twelve inches to
the general moisture of things, 11.92
inches, to be exact.
On Wednesday it rained harder for
five minutes than at any other time
during the month, when from a quarter
to ten minutes to five it dumped thir-
ty-four one-hundredths of an inch of
water on an unsuspecting public, while
a whole inch came down between 4:30
and sos o'clock in the Afternoon.

DELEGATES
Of HAWAII
Secure important Action
by Commercial
Convention.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.l


WASHINGTON, d. c., January 19.-
The convention of delegates appointed
by governors of states, mayors of
cities and commercial organizations, to
ftPromote the Extension of the Foreign
Trade of the United States" which
met in Washington this week, proved
to be one of the largest and most
representative gatherings of business
men ever held in this country. There
were approximately 500 delegates pres
ent, Hawaii being represented by F. M.
Hatch, Geo. B. Mcclellan and Lorrin
A. Thurston
The convention was in session for
three days and considered in great
detail the ways and means of increas-
ing foreign trade, more particularly
with South America and the Orient.
Addresses were made to the convention
. by President Roosevelt, Secretary of
State Root, Secretary OF War Taft, Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor Straus,
Speaker Cannon, the Governors of
Maryland and Virginia and many 9TH
ers from all sections of the country.
The convention agreed at the outset
that it would not discuss political ques-
tions, and the tariff was put on the
tabued list; but nearly every speaker
referred to Tariff Revision" either
directly or Indirectly, and the subject
was finally recognized as being the
Invest issue in commercial life today.
In fact it brought the "maximum
tariff proposition to the front in such
prominent shape that it smoked out
Uncle Joe Cannon, who, standing with
in ten feet of President Roosevelt and
shaking bony index finger in his face,
laid down ''stand patism' with a
maximum and minimum attachment, in
manner that was intensely dramatic,
and, in the opinion of many, sounding
the keynote of new departure in
tariff policy and demarking what may
eventually become line of rupture
in the Republican party.
The maximum and minimum tariff -
policy, as understood and praeticed in
Europe, is to establish a high protec-
tive tariff schedule, applicable to all
countries; with a second, lower sched- /
ule, which is applied, by executive
order, to those countries which in turn
give preferential privileges, or enact
tariff laws which are deemed fair and i

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 49,
The Washington Times published th'
following article yesterday about the
Hawaiian Delegate:
''Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, former
prince of the royal blood of Hawaii, al
last has been heard from. The mystery
of the absence of the Territorial Dele,
gate in Congress from Hawaii has been
solved, and the popular member from
the Pacific is expected to arrive in
Washington tomorrow night to resume
his seat in the House.
ga telegram has reached Manager
Brown, of the Dewey hotel, stating that
the prince arrived in San Francisco sew
eral days ago and asking that every
thing be in readiness for his arrival to-
morrow night.
CONTRARY to expectations of Wash
ington society, the prince is coming
alone, and his delay has been due to
a serious illness of tae princess that
has rendered it impossible for her to
make her appearance in Washington
this season.
''When the Hawaiian Delegate left
for Honolulu at the close of the ses-
sion last June, he retained his elabor-
ate suite az the Dewey, with instrue-
tions that it be redecorated and re-
furnished and more rooms added to it,
as he expected to bring his wife for
this season, and they would do con-
siderable entertaining. Accordingly,
the rooms were all in readiness, they
having been converted into one of
the most magnificent suites of the hotel,

CATIhAT MEN
NOT 1T CHURCH
Are Staying Away From Priests
Because of Politics
in France.

The separation of the church and
state in France has extended to wher.
ever the flag of France flies, if the
action of the officers and men of the
French warship, Catinat, is to be ac-
cepted as governing other Frenchmen.
If these sailors and men of the
warship side with those fellows over
there who are fighting the church they
will not come here said rather Mat
thias yesterday in answer to a ques-
tom from reporter for the Adver-
tiser. IF they are religious and wish
to attend to their duties as Catho-
lies they will come tos church, il not
they will stay away. We do not have
to have them and can get along with
out them -
1t seems that in the past whenever
a French vessel came here the officers
and men called first at the Catholic
Cathedral. The absence of the men
from the Catinat at the church has
been commented upon by the public
to the end that representative of
this paper was sent to talk with the
Catholic fathers relative to the ap-
parent remissness of the sailors as
Catholics.
This $ not the first time they
have remained away" said Father
lentin after Father Matthias had
given his views. "Three or four Zines
when French vessels have visited this
port during the suspense between the
threatened separation in France and
the actual occurrence, both officers and
church in uniform, though when any
of the officers wished to make social
call on any of the fathers they did
so in citizens clothes, not in uniform.
None of the Catmat officers have
been here and I am informed they will
not call for the reason that they are
afraid someone on the ship will in
form upon them and if the men were
to come in anything like body be-
ieve the fact would be reported to
France and the captain would be Gen.
sured for allowing it. We expect no
callers from France at the present time
either as individuals or as representa-
tives of that government. We under
stand official notices have been sent to
the captains of war vessels instructing
them to remain away from the Catho
lie Church for the present. I"
