Hampton Roads, Va, Dec. 16.-The
departure to-day of the great Atlantic
squadron for the Pacific is only an
other of the many great proofs of the
nations marvellous growth and devel-
opment The iron clad warship is only
Is years old, yet, passing through a
process of swift evolution to it's pres
ent perfection, this American discov-
cry has revolutionized the science of
naval warfare throughout the whole
world. There are now 270 vessels in
commission in the United States navy
where at one time, in Washington's
administration, there was not one.
OF these there are 13 battleships of
the first and second class, carrying
guns into whose mouth this cOuntrys
first and only "commander-in-chie Of
the navy" Esek hopkins, might easily
have hidden his disgraced head when
an outraged continental congress sum-
mamly dismissed him.
1t was in Hampton Roads that the
first chapter in the worlds history
otN iron ciaGs' was written. 1t was
in Hampton Roads that the nation
gathered 16 of her finest sea fighters
ready for q trip Of nearly 10000 miles.
Where the MerrimaC swung ClumSily
across the channel long ago and drove
terror to the hearts of seamen who
had never yet seen such a monster,
iron clads as graceful and as swift as
greyhounds have come and gone all
summer until they have become a fa-
miliar sight. Among these is the
Minnesota. the largest of Uncle Sans
big battleships. and next only in size
to the Dreadnaught, which King Ed
ward of England launched with such
ceremony a year or so ago, and to
the Satsuma, Japan's new monster of
the deep.
History Of American Navy.
The first appropriation made for a
navy for this country was that of the
continental congress in IT'S, and the
sum of 100000 was expected to pur.
chase, equip and generally outfit 13
ships. For the present year. ending
July, 1908 the navy will have needed
S125 04I 800, an increase of $5,000,000
over LIST year. Nine million alone go
for ordnance stores. The last appro-
priation of congress for the building Of
ships was $20,000,000 to be expended
on two big ships, each Of which is to
measure $40 feet in length, IS feet
beam, and make 21 knots an hour.
Three million dollars was appropri-
ated for submarines Of the Holland
type, and in September five torpedo
boat destroyers were contracted for.
Think of this in comparison with the
100000 that cost the continental cor
gross so much thought, and which was
furnished by the people of the colo
nes after so much privation.
"If we are to have a commerce we
much have a navy to defend it," wrote
Col. Humphreys from the Barbary
States in 1898 after he had been sent
to see if there were means Of stop

NEW PUMPS FOR
SEWER SYSTEM
PUMPS OF 1000
GALLONS A MINUTE WILL BE
HERE BY THE NEVADAN.

BY tire S. S. Nevadan tomorrow from
San Francisco, there is due the new
centrifugal pump for the sewer pumping
station. The present pumps are in poor
shape and are in much need of repairs.
1t has been a fortunate thing that the
pumps have not broken down and a Sc
rious condition, in consequence, resulted.
The new pump has a capacity of 1000
gallons a minute, against a maximum
head of SO feet. The pump costs about
$4,000, delivered at the station. THE
work of installing the pump will require
about two months. AS soon as the pump
is installed, the present pumps will be
repaired and used as emergency or relief
pumps. -

PUNAHOUS
BASEBALL OUTLOOK BRIGHTEN
ED BY THE DECISION OF EDDIE
DESIIA.

The baseball outlook for the season Of
1907 was wonderfully Frightened last
evening when Eddie Desha the pitcher
of the Punahou Baseball team signed for
another season with his old team. 1t
has been thought for some time past he
would play with the new team, the Da-
moud Heads, but this organization gave
him his release and he signed WITH Doc
Monsarratt last evening.
The entire Desha family are said to
have signed with the wearers of the blue
and gold George is expected TO be here
in his old place. Whether he will re-
main as Captain of the Punahous is not
known. Jack will play in Iris old place.
With the ending of College and the
arrival Of Castle and his baseball friends
the Punahou team should come very near
getting such a start on the other teams
that they should come near to winning
the series. As the Diamond Heads were
said to be planning to pitch Eddie Desla
they will now have to hunt up another
man.
Desha is one of the best pitchers in
the league and he will no doubt prove a
tower of strength to the Punahous this
year as he did last when he held down
the Kams in some fourteen inning games.

Victoria

The Times
EDITOR SHIOZAWA SAYS NEWS
FROM VICTORIA is VERY STALE
NO TRUTH IN CABLEGRAM.

''The cablegram from Victoria this
morning stating that the japanese Gov
ernment was to allow 1000 japanese to
emigrate every month is stale news" said
Editor Shozawa of the Hawaii Srinpo
Sha this morning "and there is nothing
in it, Two months ago there was
possibility of such a thing happening
but it was not allowed and instead of in
creasing the number allowed to leave the
country each month the number has been
reduced by tire Foreign Office.
"At present in Japan there are 2S
Immigration Companies. AS the old
number of emigrants allowed to leave
each month was 2000 that only left for
each company about 40 emigrants which
would soon force them out of business,
So about two months ago they asked the
Foreign Office to increase the number
to 1000. This request was taken under
advisement and that is the news which
just reached Victoria in the mails. From
there it was cabled. AS a matter of fact,
as has been published in local papers,
the number of emigrants has been de-
creased from 1000 to 1900 at the re-
quest of Mkt Saito, the Consul General
in this place.
"As an instance of how the news
travels slowly across the Pacific and is
sent out from Victoria. 1 would call
attention to the cablegram speaking of
tire Shibata Maru burning wheat for fuel
in order to reach japan. We received
the news here by mail some time ago
from Japan. That vessel was forced to
1 burn her decks and then a portion of her
cargo to reach the most northern part
Of Japan She was due at Kobe on jan
uary % from Northern Japan.
The vessel which carried that news
across the Pacific evidently carried tire
/ stale news that Japan would increase
the number of laborers allowed to leave
the country to 1000.
"No such move is contemplated I an
sure by the Foreign Office especially
after tire later news we received by cable
that the number of emigrants had beer
1 cur to 1900"

LONG PACIFIC FLEET
REORGANIZATION PROBABLY TO
BE EFFECTED.

Admiral Very, L. S. n, stated this
morning that the Associated Press ca
BILE dispatch of yesterday from Wash
ington, making the bare statement that
the Pacific fleets of the United States
Navy We're to be consolidated with the
object of maneuvering for the protec-
tion of the Pacific coast and dependen-
cies, was of such a meaGer nature that
1t was not only impossible to draw any
details therefrom but foolish to endeav-
or to theorlze as to the import of the
message.
1t would seem that the Admiral had
been quoted as putting an interpreta-
tion on the cablegram which he did not
give and which he did not intend.
Under no circumstances" said the
Admiral this morning. "would I at
tempt to fully interpret the dispatch,
so meager is the information therein
contained, until further news was re-
ceived. This much may be said, that
1t seems that the long planned reor-
ganization of the fleets of the Pacific Is
about to be effected. AS long ago as l
can remember there has been talk of
reorganizing the system of the Navy In
the Pacific. I presume that such is
now to be effected and that the Unit
ed States Navy is to consist of two
great divisions, that Of the Atlantic
and that of the Pacific. Beyond this,
at the present time, it is impossible to
say and absurd to theorize."

A comparison Of these totals show
that there is a difference of $21, 900 be-
tween the price received by the original
owners and the price that the govern
ment is published as accepting it.
Here are some of the circumstances
attending the purchase of the four
pieces of property, Immediately prior
to the recent decision of the Supreme
Court declaring that the transfer Of
lands could be made: The Kamakau
property which is intended for the
Royal school improvement was decided
on December IA, 1906 for $4,000.
On January is the Coney property
was transferred by Laura A. Coney ct
al for the consideration of ST. But the
value of the stamp tax on the deed as
now on file in the registrars office in
dicates the consideration to have been
$4,000
On January %, the Maertens home
was decided for $4,000.
On January "a the Hopper premises
were decided for $4,000.
1t was on November 26, 1906 that the
public meeting was held in the office
of Governor Carter, to discuss the ad-
visibility of disposing of the govern
ment's lands on Lanai. There had been
posted in the office of the Land Com
missioner a list of property that was
desired by the government. All of the
the four pieces of property later ac-
cepted by the government were on that
list. . 1t was announced that the bids
for the exchange would be opened on
December Is. On the night of De-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-02-05

cember IA the temporary injunction res
training the transfer, was secured by
L. L. McCandless. The case continued
in the courts until February 1.
1t was during this period that the
deeds to all these properties were exc
cuted. The transfer of all these prop
critics in exchange for the Lanai lands
was effected on the afternoon of Feb
ruary 1, Immediately following the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, the Gov
ernor announcing the valuations at
which he had accepted them in max
ing the exchange, valuations which it
now appears are $21, 900 in excess of the
amounts paid the original owners with
in a month and a half preceding. These
valuations, the governor stated, were
the assessed valuations.
In his official advertised notice of the
exchange, the Governor announced that
it was desired to exchange the govern
ments' Lanai lands for lands of equal
value. The Lanai lands were appraised
at $1O7, 600 The lands accepted in ex-
change by the government, cost $4,000
or exactly S21 900 less than the apprais-
ed value of the governments holdings
on Lanai.
OF course, those offering lands in eX-
change We're not under obligations,
legal or moral, to offer lands of any
particular cost They made offer of
certain lands. The offer could be ac-
cepted or rejected. The governor ac-
cepted it and all that was further re-
quired of them was to give good title.

II looks like the Cumberland Tele-
phone officials are bent upon forcing
the fighting. The recent doubling
of the night rate has been followed by
a reversal Of the order Of the railroad
commission, for connection Of points
in county with the county seat free
of charge other than the monthly toll.
In this action the management has
shown sad lack of Judgment, and II
it does not prove a losing game the
laws of cause and effect will be VIC
lated. Far wiser it would have been
never to have adopted these reason
able and popular rules, than to have
treated them as transient. Now that
the public has become familiarized
with the half night rate and the free
country service their arbitrary can
collation. is not going to be accepted
without fight that no monopoly can
win out against.
1t is to be presumed that the rail-
road commission will cite the Cum
berland company, which has acted as
though it were a law unto itself, to ap-
pear and answer in the matter OF
such excessive raise of rates. Either
the commission or the attorney gen
eral will surely. proceed in the prem
Uses and without delay The order
taken is direct challenge of the
states authority. 1t is, perhaps, as
well that the telephone company has
at this time shown its hand ard its
assumption of power. Work is thus
cut out that the legislature will not
be slow to take up. 1t is plainly re-
vealed that nothing less than an ex-
ercise of the states full rate making
and corporation regulating power, the
| investment of the commission with
ample agencies and means for the
enforcement of its orders, will protect
the public from the boldest and the
baldest extortion in telephone serv
ice. The management did not ever
