SUBSIDY BILL
IS A NECESSITY
The Failure to Pass 1t May
Result i'm the Oceanic's
Withdrawal.

s. F. Commereial.-It is said thai
plans for the withdrawal of the Ocean
ic Steamship Company from the Aus
| tralasian trade have been decided up
on in the event of failure of Con
gress to pass law for encouragement
of traffic with foreign countries. For
years the Oceanic's s efforts to promote
trade in the South Pacific has result
ed in considerable loss, the wealthy
corporation, which has been for years
the company, considering that further
sacrifices would be required to continue
the traffic without prospect OF re-
covering the large amount involved
unless some additional aid was ex-
tended. patriotic impulse has been
influential in continuing the Oceanic on
its present lines, but running steamship
lines at a loss is not business, and the
decision has been finally reached to
withdraw from the costly experience
and employ the magnificent steamers
engaged in the traffic In more profitable
business.
The financial situation of the Oceanic
Steamship Company is about as fol
lows;

THE COMMERCIAL :
CLUB TAKES LEASE
Gas Party Gives Way on the
Question of Electric
Light Service.

Gas was downed yesterday in order
| that the Commercial Club might live.
1t will be remembered that at a meet
| ing of that organization theother dayit
was decided to reject the lease for the
| clubs quarters in the new McCandless
building at the corner of King and
| Bethel streets. The reason for this ac-
| ton was the insistence by the MeCand-
| less brothers that only electricity
should be used for Illuminating pur-
poses. The club had no particular OBJ
lection to the use of electricity, but
they did not want to be told that they
would use electric lights or go around
in the dark
After it was decided by a small ma
jority to reject the lease, a fear sprung
up in the breasts of a few of the MEM
bers that the organization might dis
band in the event of suitable quarters
not being found at an early date Sew
eral places were suggested, but nothing
that was suitable was available, con-
SSd0ShSAy a tCAuliiS ID d LG-
consideration of the vote was started.
1t was shown to one of those who vot,
ed against the acceptance of the lease
that the owners of the building had
yielded every point until it came to the
question of lighting, and there Mr.. Nc
Candless, who is president of the Ha-
waiian Electric Light Co., balked.
When this was made clear to the men, |
Der he said he would propose a recon-
sideration of the vote if a meeting was
called.
The time set was four o'clock yes, |
terday afternoon, and beside a liberal |
attendance of the members, there were |
proxies to burn. and every one in favor
of reconsideration. In order that the /
matter might be brought before the /
meeting, Mr.. Won Holt moved that a
committee be appointed to select new
site for the clubs quarters. There was
a lively discussion of this question be-
fore vote was taken and in the mean
time Mr.. Lydecker moved that the vote
at the previous session be reconsidered.
The chair informed the mover that an
other motion was before the house, and
it must be disposed of before another
could have attention. The first was
then put and Messrs. Won Holt and
Morgan We're the only persons voting

Just why the publishers of Miller
should be expected to furnish city
supplies and labor at cut rates is not
evident from any stand point of fair
ness. All other labor and supplies
used by the city are paid for at reg
ular rates, as any individual pays.
Besides the laws of the state estab-
lish specific price for such service.
The publishers pay out good money
for plants, pay labor, taxes, contrib
ute their share to everything, and
prehaps do more free work for their
home than any other single agency,
and when any public business in
their line is necessary it is only fair
to pay them for it the same as others
do. The city is entitled to no more
special privilege or rebate than any
Individual and both public senti-
ment and good business sense opposes
special privileges.

be a very perfect melody, but It Is

~teakettles are produced by steam bub-
bles escaping from beneath thin sheets
OF iron fastened close together nearly
at the bottom Of the kettles. To pro-
duce the best effects, says the Youths

NOVEL TYPES OF MATCHES.
Inventions Aiming at Convenience

Pictured In the accompanying en-.

matches. A flexible type of these Is
represented In Fig. /. which shows Il
strip wound up into a roll. The strip
is Tapped, an6 provided with igniting
means at regular intervals, When II
is desired to utilize a match the roll
Is grasped. The strip is pressed just
above a lap, and the projecting end of
the strip is pulled. A separate edge
view is given of this lap or fold, which
consists of a l]apped-ovcr portion ad,
herring to the main part. The fold m
dor its right end is supplied with n
rdbbing surface. The left end Of the
adjacent surface is provided with
au igniting compound. which when
brought into contact with the rubbing
surface is ignited by friction. This
does not claim to be a safety match.
