MAY OPEN MONDAY NIGHTS HABERDASHERS AT ODDS Difficulty May Result in All the Clothing and Furnishing
 Stores Keeping Open.

The agreement entered into last July between the city clothing and furnish ing stores to close their places of busi- ress on Monday evenings, has not been continued and 8 general mix up among the various stores Is the out come, and whether it may result in the general opening of all the stores again on Monday evenings is not
 known The attitude taken by some of i the proprietors seem to indicate that a return to the keeping open on Mon- day nights is certainty, and the va rious employees are considerably agi- tated over the matter. The story re- garding the present trouble, as far as can be gathered is as follows: IA cer- tain firm of gents furnishers on Church street agreed to keep their store closed on Monday evenings until l Oct. 1, promising at the end of that
 time to give the matter their further consideration. The first Monday in Oc-
 tober found this particular store open,
 while the other stores remained closed This same state of matters prevailed
 on the second Monday evening of the month. On the third Monday night
 other stores which had remained closed in the hope of an amicable agreement being reached opened their doors for
 business in order, as one of them said to protect their interests, as they ca tered to the same class of trade as did the firm who seemed to be forcing the opening movement One of the firms who opened last Monday night deals in clothing as well as furnishings and the action of this firm may result in general opening of these stores in two nights each week in place of one, as has been the case during t,2e summer months.
 Tn discussing the situation one of the proprietors said yesterday that since
 Monday night opening had been forced on him, he would favor opening every Monday night in the year, regardless of dull seasons, and would also oppose closing Friday afternoons In the sum- ner

AMERIcAN.HAwAIIAN. s. S. co.

PORTLAND, Or, July 25.-While
all of the steamers operated by the
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany do not call at this port the line
brings big amount of freight from
the Atlantic coast to San Francisco to
be forwarded here on the regular coast
ers. During the past few months the
traffic has grown to such an extent ii is
said the company is seriously contem-
plating the proposition of having one or
two of its steamers make port of entry
calls here regularly while bound from
the Bay City to Honolulu, Owing to the
crippled condition of the coast water
service, 1t is argued this is about the
only feasible plan suggesting itself in
order to handle the big volume of busi-
ness which has been built up by the
company. BY coming to the Columbia
River the freighters, it is explained,
could pick up partial cargoes for the
islands. Lumber, wheat and flour are
always in demand over there, and can be
picked up here more easily than at any
other point on the coast. For that rea-
son decision to send one or two of the
steamers to the river when leaving on
the outward trip may be decided upon
an early date.

Investigation Begins.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.--Investi-
CATION into the cause Of the Columbia
wreck was begun here this afternoon by
Captain Birmingham, supervising inspec.
tor of steamships. The first witness was
+. Peterson, lookout on the steamer CO.
lumbia. He testified that the weather
was foggy and that he could see only
two ship lengths. He heard the San
Pedro's whistle about Is minutes before
the collision. The San Pedro's whistle
sounded once minute to the starboard
of the Columbia. When Peterson first
saw the San Pedro she was about $50
feet distant and was coming square on"
to the Columbia. On sighting the San
Pedro he leaped onto the bridge where
he was at the time of the collision. He
could not say whether the Columbia was
going at full speed. There was no wind.
The Columbia blew her whistle regu-
larly. After the collision he was told
by Captain Doran to arouse the pas
sengers. He called those in the fore
castle and then started to the life boat
to which he was assigned, but found it
was gone, He had not time to call the
people in the steerage or cabin. He ran
to another life boat and was there alone
when he saw Captain Doran standing
near and was asked to give hand in
launching the boat.
Quatermaster Hinner testified that
the Columbia loated for five to seven
minutes before going down, The shock
of the collision was not great.
