CELEBRATE
Kaiser's Birthday Was
Cause for Their
Rejoicing.

The members of the Honolulu Ger
man colony becomingly celebrated the
forty-eighth anniversary of the birth
of their Emperor yesterday, assembling
in the school room of the Deutsch
Evangelische church to the number OF
a couple of hundred and listening to a
program of patriotic addresses, music
and recitations. On the last several
former celebrations the exercises have
been held at the office of Hackfeld &
Co, but the anniversary falling this
year upon Sunday made the church
the more suitable building.
The school room was hung with Ger
man and American flags and the walls
draped with leis of the German nation
al colors Everyone present took some
part in the program, joining in the
choruses of the folk songs and assist
ing either in passing or consuming the
refreshments provided.
The gathering was called to order
shortly after three o'clock, the opening
address being given by William Pfo-
tenhauer, the German Consul, who con-
cluded his remarks by calling upon All
present to give three cheers for the
Emperor. These were given with
will, after which all Joined in singing
the German national anthem.
Pastor Felmy then delivered his
forical address, which was followed by
q. number of recitations and songs by
the children and young ladies Of the
school.

Is1EswoRTH OUT OF COAL.

The British S. S. Isleworth, recently
in this port, has been in trouble off
Vancouver island. A despatch from
Nanaimo, dated January IA, says:
After cutting up her deckload of lum-
ber to keep up steam and save her
from going ashore in Cowichan Gap a
few days ago, the British steamship
Isleworth, lumber laden from Port
Blakeley for Shanghai, arrived at I'm
ion Bay with enough coal in her bum
kers to cover a sheet OF window glass
which is now on exhibition at Howe's
grocery store at ComoX.
Pilot Owens boarded the vessel on
Flattery Light and piloted her up the
Straits headed for Comox. Passing Co
wichan Gap, below Nanaimo, her fuel
being exhausted, her steam went down
and she was turned right about by the
current and drifted back with the tide.
Fortunately she was not injured
though the gap is a ticklish channel.
Clearing the channel, she came to an
chor under the lee of Valdez island and
lay there until the weather, thick at
the time, had cleared.

Pastor Wadman's attention in the
Methodist church last evening. The
subject was suggested by remark
made in his presence by Bishop Har-
ris in referring to the rebuilding of
San Francisco. They are engaged"
said the Bishop, 'in making tremen-
dcus excavations so as to get down to
bedrock for the larger buildings to be
erected. New San Francisco will sure
ly be founded firmly upon a rock and
win be more wonderful and glorious
than that which was destroyed. by
earthquake and fire." Mr.. wadman
then turned to Christ's parable in
Luke's Gospel concerning the building
of tower. A wise man first counts
the cost before laying the foundation.
lest, having done so. he does not pos
sess enough to finish the tower, so that
all who pass by will laugh him TO
scorn. What then does IL cost to reach
up to and live the ideal life? The
speaker elaborated on the necessity OF
forsaking our sin. our self-righteous-
ness, our lack Of courage to confess the
Christ. etc. In closing, he referred to
the death OF Frances Willard, who
begged of her dear friend, Miss Cor
don, to sing her favorite hymn, Gently
Lead, oh Gently Lead Me. Lord" af-
terwards requesting that Mr.. Hoffman's
head Of Christ should have engraved on
the top of 1t: 1.-THE Golden Rule OF
Christ Will Bring the Golden Age OF
Man." and underneath the words,
Neither DO 1 Condemn Thee. Go in
Peace and Sin No More" She passed
away with a lovely smile upon her
face, exclaiming. How beautiful TO be
with Godi"
The young men Of the Kamehameha
Schools sang three very appropriate Sc
lections which added greatly to the
character OF the service.

charge of Mr.. Martin, with Mrs.

LUkA
SAFE AT HOME

came by telephone from the Wanna
nalo plantation, that the Luka had just
dropped her anchor outside the reef off
Waimanalo, in about the place where
the S. S. Manchuria had gone ashore.
This word was at once sent to Captain
Joynes by Captain Macaulay, of the
pilot office, to whom the message had
been sent from WaimanaIo. Captain
Joynes arranged on receipt Of the news
to go to Waimana1o this afternoon to
render such help as necessary, but
the tug Intrepid, which set out for her
as soon as the news Of her arrival
reached town, brought her into harbor
early this morning.
The Manning in her search for the
vessel worked to the west and south
of where she had been sighted. Cap
tain Dixon reported that there was a
slight drift of the schooner to the
northeast, but by the time the Man
ming had reached the spot the wind
had shifted into the northeast, thus
making it probable that the Luka
would be found somewhere nearer the
north coast of Maui The reported posi-
ton of the schooner. % degrees one
minute north and 156 degrees and At
minutes west, was reached by the
Manning on Thursday afternoon about
twelve hours after she had left Homo
lulu
from this point Captain Joynes be-
gan running a system of parallelo-
grams, the sides of which were fifteen
miles long and three miles apart. All
that night the vessel steamed back and
forth, two lookouts aloft and the whole
crew on the alert for the first sight OF
the schooner. The weather was beau
tifully clear and the bright moonlight
made it possible to keep as good
lookout at night as at day. In this
close patrolling some 800 square miles
were closely gone over, the system be-
ing again crossed by series of diago-
nal lines before the search was ex-
tended further. On Saturday more
extended system was planned extend
ing more to the south and approaching
within thirty-six miles of Maui Al
together the Manning searched through
1900 square miles Of ocean.
In view of the prevailing winds and
the disabled steering gear of the Luka
her appearance at Waimanalo was as
unexpected as it was welcome to Cap
tain Joynes. He had supposed that
the vessel would make the port OF ka-
hului, if possible to make any port,
missing which it was thought the yes
sci might possibly have put out drag
and keep before the gind until in the
vicinity Of Hilo.
Captain Moki, who brought his ois-
abled vessel back in safety, has had
several exciting experiences in these
waters. When in command OF the
steam schooner Maloio he was in COL
Iision with the steamer J. A Cummins,
while his last previous command, the
island schooner Kauikeaouli, was
wrecked on Hawaii.

The little schooner Luka Is back
again in the harbor, safe after having
drifted for some days with disabled
steering gear and having to beat back
to Waimanalo from north of Kahului
with a jury rig. She arrived early this
morning in tow of the tug Intrepid, all
on board being well.
For some days the fate of this little
schooner has been the subject of anx-
ious discussion around the town. The
report of her pilikia, brought on We'd
nesday by the captain of the S. S.
Coptic, and the long delay of the U. S.
R. c. Manning, which set out to her
rescue, had made many fear that Cap
tain Moki and his crew of eight men
had been lost When the Manning was
sighted off port yesterday morning ana
it was seen that she was returning
without the schooner in tow, these fears
were multiplied, but welcome mes
sage from Waimanalo, received shortly
after three o'clock, relieved the feel
ings of anxiety, the schooner having
just dropped anchor there.
MANNING's LONG SEARCH.
After steaming six hundred miles In
the vicinity in which the little island
schooner Luka was reported - be
drifting disabled, the revenue cutter
Manning returned to Honolulu yestes'-
day morning, having failed to sight the
distressed vessel. The weather had
been such. however, that there was no
reason to fear that the members of the
Luka crew were in any serious con-
dition. No harm could have overtaken
the little craft from the elements and,
as reported by Captain Dixon, of the
S. S. Coptic, who brought the word OF
the distress to Honolulu, the crew had
aboard plenty of provisions to last
them for some time.
Captain Joynes accordingly brought
back the Manning from the search in
order to recoa1 his vessel, having left
hurriedly ON receipt of the news of the
Luka's pilikia and not being prepared
then for any protracted cruise. It was
thought, too, that there was a possibil-
ity of the schooner having managed TO
make one of the north Maui ports, the
word of which would have been sent 10
Honolulu. If no advices TO the owner
as to the fate of the schooner had been
received Captain Joynes intended to
take on coal and supplies and go out
on another search this afternoon.
A few hours after the Manning nad
returned to the harbor. however, word

MT. Divers Bid

William J. Oliver has summoned to agers and administrators in the coun- try, and he and they have organized company whose paid-up capital is to be $5,000,0O0 In other words, every demand of the administration has been met, although the time in which to complete the task does not expire until tomorrow.
 It Is now reasonably certain that the great contract will be awarded to Will liam J. Oliver and his associates. Be- yond all doubt this is the greatest con tract ever awarded in this world to a private construction company. It is the biggest piece of construction work ever undertaken in this world by one mitted the record bid of the world, and the expectation is that he and his asso- ciates will without unnecessary delay receive a record award.
 Such an award will be a comfort to the south, which had not been consid- cred in the running. MT. Divers cour- age and experience has brought this section into all races, no matter how large the prizes may be. It will, too, bring substantial benefits to this sec tion in various ways, and no doubt our gulf ports will now get share of the benefits that will flow from the gigan- tic construction work that the Oliver company will have in hand in case it secures the contract. Between MT. Oliver and MT. Ackert it is reasonable to conclude that this section of the country will be treated fairly and just ly. All the plums. in other words, will not go to thee effete east.

The Immigration Problem

Everybody recognizes the fact that the souths labor supply Is not equal to the demand and all agree that this section must depend largely on Euro pean immigration for anything like an adequatae increase In our wage-work- ing population. There has been much discussion of immigration methods, but comparatively little has been accom- plished. The majority of the foreign CTS that have come to the south have settled in the cities and these are not in sufficient evidence to affect appre ciably the labor situation AS for the agricultural districts immigrants are scarcely numerous enough to be con sidered at all.
 The matter of labor supply is becom- ing more important every day and how to obtain satisfactory results in in- ducing immigration to Alabama and neighboring states is an all-absorbing question. The Southern Immigration and Industrial association, of which ex- Governor Heyward of South Caro- ina is president. is doing valuable

Gold Imports Aoain

The resumption of gold imports to New York may be the beginning of a large movement that will strengthen credit, improve prices and even create B bull sentiment in Wall street. New York is anxious to know how London will look at and act towards the new movement. for upon the views and the new inflow will depend. Europe has absorbed vast sums of the short term notes recently issued by our rail roads, and this absorption has been the chief factor, perhaps, in turning the yellow tide this way
 Not since October had we imported any gold until a New York firm con tracted for $50O,O00 of fresh gold about to arrive from Capetown. The move ment that was ended in October aggre- gated $90,000,000, and similar move- ulSuI dJ lue pltS6nI tllllc WOulu uldhC this country very happy. There is not much known concerning the change in the gold situation. It is not even known why the Bank of England and the French bankers look at it without en- mity or open opposition. Both are said to be complaisant where they had been absolutely hostile, but all this is but rumor, and the real situation re- mains to be disclosed.
 In Wall street prices will depend to a great extent upon the demand for American securities in Europe, upon the extension needs of the railroads, and upon the action of the administra- tion against the trusts and monopolies. It is too early to say that prices will go upward because some gold is to be imported. The import business re- mains to be developed. It may be nip ped in the bud, but then again 1t may assume respectable proportions and in that case Wall street would smile again, and get ready to welcome a new lot of lambs.

province will have an assembly, and a new duma will be elected by the as- semblies in the provinces and in the cities.
 Premier Stolypin is endeavoring to conciliate and win over tAe new duma. He says the Czar knows Me needs it's aid. He says the reports that it is to be speedily dissolved are false. He hopes the duma will cooperate with the government in it's efforts to estab- fish numerous reforms. The premier may be talking politics, but the fact that he is conciliatory leads to a hope ful view of Russia Beyond all doubt Stolypin is better and a stronger man than Russia has known since Japan exposed her weakness and rottenness. He Is bravely trying to build up a new Russia, and much indeed will depend upon the makeup and trend of the new duma. It will be pretty full of social democrats and revolutionists, but there is a feeling that they will be more patient and more sensible and practical than their predecessors were.

Snliiiinn the Sessinn

The legislature is hurrying the rail fore 1t to the law stage, expecting to adjourn either at the end of this week or at the end of next week to some time in the fall season, or possibly to a day in next winter. Not only will the big bills become laws, but many inter- esting local bills will be pusled through before a recess is taken.
 Some senators and some representa- lives are opposed to a session split into two parts, but the weight of wis dom seems to be in favor of the split plan. The Mayfield code report cannot we'll be carefully considered unless a recess of at least six weeks is taken, for no members can be found who will give all their time to the preparation of a code while the two houses are in session. A new code, therefore, calls for recess.
 The longer that recess is the more the legislators can consult the people, and if it be well nigh year long they will have an opportunity to see how their revolutionary measures work in actual operation. There is feeling in the breasts of all that some of them may need amendment in spots at least.
 All in all a recess seems probable, but the better opinion seems to that it will not be begun until next week. Tt is probable" says the Montgomery Advertiser on the spot, that the solons will remain in session until about Fri day, February 15." A great deal of work can be put out of the way by that time.

Russian Electoral Methods

From time to time elections are re- ported in Russia, although the govern ,nent mad declared that a new duma should be elected on February 19 The reported elections are, however, for members of the assemblies that will on the 18th select members of the duma. The Russian electoral machinery may be cumbersome but its plan is not wholly uninto,!igible to western minds.
 For electoral purposes Russia is divided into two parts, cities and coun- -try. Twenty one cities elect twenty. nine members of the duma, and the rural districts elect the remainder by provinces, or governments" as they are called. In each government a gov ernment assembly is to be held, the members of which are chosen by pop ular vote. These members meet in their respective provinces to elect members of the new duma.
 
 Manhood suffrage has not been granted in backward Russia. The voters fall into four classes-the urban elective bodies, the landowners, the peasants and the workmen. The urban elective bodies, or local legislatures, elect directly their representatives to the urban government assemblies. So do the great landowners. The small landowners elect preliminary repre- sentatives, who join with the repre- sentatives of the great landowners for the government assemblies. The peas hnts meet first in their respective villages to elect delegates to primary convention. These primary conven tions send delegates to a secondary convention, and the latter elects mem bers of the government assembly. Every factory that employs fifty or more is workshop assembly, and it sends delegataeS 10 Workmen elect i've assembly, which in turn chooses members of the government assembly.
 The elections reported from time to lime are but steps in the foundation of government assembly in prov ince, and it is impossible to say from these preliminary battles what the government assemblies will do. Each
