HOLMES NEW
PICTURE Machine

Among the through passengers by
the Siberia yesterday was Mr.. Oscar
Depue, companion and assistant to
Burton Holmes in his travels for ma
terial for lectures. Mr.. Holmes join
ed him here and the two sailed for
the Orient, intending to go through
Japan, China, the Straits Settlements.
| Ceylon and India, going home by way
| of the SueZ.
| Mr. Depue had with him what is
undoubtedly the finest and most up
to-date picture machine in the world
1t is a machine based on those of Eb-
bers of London. but with a number
of improvements which are the work.
ing out of Mr.. Depue's own ideas. IL
is the only machine OF the kind ever
made.
There are three improvements of
prime Importance over any other ma
chine, besides a number of minor con-
trivances which add TO convenience
Perhaps the most important of the
improvements is q, device by which
the amount of light admitted by the
shutter can be changed TO meet chang
ing conditions of sun, or sky, or OBJ
ject, while the machine is in opera
ton All machines in the past have
had to be stopped and changes made
at the loss of time and convenience
But in this one, while the machine
is in operation the changes in the
shutter can be made simply by the
movement of iever on the outside
Another Improvement is a device by
which the lens itself can be raised
or lowered simply by the movement
of a lever while the machine is in
motion, thus adding greatly TO the
scope of the machine, Corfelative 10
this is a device by which the finder
acts automatically with the raising and
lowering of the lens, so that the finder
always covers the exact field that the
lens does
motion pictures are expected to be
produced. With the picture machine
as it existed before this one was built,
after the machine has been once TO-
cussed there Is no way of changing
the field to meet changing conditions
of the scene being reproduced except
by guessworlx. with the new adjust
ment of the finder, the operator can
move his machine up or down or side
ways to keep the scene constantly In
the center of his negatives, with abso-
Lutte precision because the finder viii
show him exactly what is within the
field of the lens. The machine viii
also meet changes of light and other
conditions of photography promptly
and accurately.
Mr.. Bonine. Mr.. Holmes and Mr..
Depue spent considerable time imme-
diately after the arrival of the steam
ship in examining this new machine
and making tests Of it.

CHINESE COOKS
ON JAP STEAMSHIP

On account Of the rain the discharge
of nitrates from the Japanese steam
ship Kasato Maru was stopped much
Of Saturday and all Of Sunday. and the
vessel which was to have sailed Sun
day afternoon will now not get away
until sometime today.
The Kasato Maru is a vessel that
was captured by the japanese from
the Russians during the Japanese Rus
sian war She is stin owned by the
japanese government but is charter
ed by a Japanese steamship company,
the same company which has charter
ed the America Maru to pat on IT'S
South American run after she Is with
drawn from the trade between San
Francisco and the Orient. She Is an
English built boat and the Chief OFF,
Ger says that he saw her sister ship
while in South American ports lately.
The officers and crew Of the KasatO
Maru are Japanese throughout except
in the stewards department, where
Chinese are employed. Strangely the
language of communication between
the Chinese and japanese aboard is
neither Chinese nor Japanese, but is
English. One Of the Chinese employ
ed has been employed on Japanese
vessels for about ten years and he has
picked up a fair amount Of japanese

LILL|POTIANS TIRE
Of WET WEAT HER

The rainy weather has been disliked
more by the little members of the
LilIiputian Opera Company probably
than any other persons in Honolulu,
as it has kept them indoors at the
Young Hotel and prevented the sight
seeing in the Paradise of the Pacific
that had been promised them and to
which they had been looking forward
ever since they sailed from Yokohama.
Tomorrow or Thursday, however, a.
special car is being chartered for the
little actors and actresses, and they
will be given a ride around the city,
the grand climax of which is to be a
visit to the Aquarium. This week,
too, just as soon as the weather
clears, the company is to move out to
the Moana, where padding and bath
ing has been promised the children.
Manager Pollard himself wants to
get around a little. He knows Homo
lulu, but confesses that he can never
get tired of moving around here and
seeing the beauties on every hand.
This is so different to the place we
Just left he said. 81 have not seen
many changes since my last visit here
and I don't want to see any. Honolulle
as it is is quite good enough for me.

FALLS INTO STEAMERS HOLD.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4-Henry
K. Naai, % years old. a sailor, was
instantly killed about o'clock yester-
day morning by falling a distance of
fifty feet into the hold of the steamer
Virginian of the decentralization
line, which is locked at Pier No. %, off
Greenwich street. In company with
two sailors on board the steamer Naal
ran along the deck of the steamer in
the darkness. He was guest of the
sailors and did not belong to the crew.
He stepped upon the forward hatch,
which was covered with temporary
planking of loose two-inch boards and
tarpaulin. 1t gave away and he fell
below ship. The autopsy showed that
death was due to extensive ruptures
of the abdomen. An, inquest will be
held

A very interesting sight was present.
ed from the harbor seward yesterday
morning about 9 o'clock when the big
steamship Siberia came in, followed
shortly by the oil carrying ship Falls
of Clyde in tow of the Intrepid, and a
few minutes later by the schooner
Helene, which sailed into the harbor
without taking a tow.
The Falls Of clyde left Gaviota Feb
ruary 81 With the winds that pre-
vailed she went as far south as %
degrees without getting but two de-
grees west of Gaviota From that time
on however she had nothing but south
east winds, not heavy but constant.
The trade winds were not experienced
at all. The Falls of Clyde was towed
out of Monterey Bay by the tug Navi-
gator. which accounts for the report
sent here that she had left for Homo
lulu in tow of the Navigator. She was
in the terrific rainstorm of Sunday
When she got into the harbor both
the Kasato Maru and the Siberia Were
in the slip between the Haekfeld and
the railroad wharf so there was not
room for her TO get in. She therefore
moored at the mauka side of the Hack
field wharf and will go into her regular
berth this morning and begin the dis
charging her oil which will take about
hours. She will not sail
for four or five days however as she
has repairs to make to one of her dom
kew engine boilers

give them a tow. The record made by
the Helene on this voyage gave the
vessel a great reputation in. the New
castle harbor and it was always spo-
ken of as the schooner that flies.
The schooner Harriet sailed from Ho-
nolulu to Newcastle in the f1fties in 27
days and the American bark Vaquero
from Honolulu to Melbourne in 1858 in
q days But the Helene's record of
30 days is the best one that has been
made of late years, at any rate.
But coming back the Helene took 81
days from Newcastle to Honoipu. She
was beginning to get foul and she had
very light winds.
Captain Thompson also surprised the
Newcastle people by coming up to the
wharf all ready to take coal, something
that the antipodeans were not accus-
toned to.
After disc,harging the sugar she
brought here from Honoipu, the Helene
will go on the marine railway and will
then load sugar for irwin & Co.

THE sIBERIA,s FREIGHT.

The Siberia's freight, which amounts
to nearly 10000 tons, includes a big
shipment of arms and ammunition for
Honolulu. Fourteen cases of shells for
the big guns and $50 cases of rifles, as
well as large amount of ammunition,
are being taken. The shipment of cot
ton for Japan is unusually heavy, while
much leather, flour and machinery is
to be taken to various ports of the
Far East.
Consigned to Manila are large num-
Der of rifles, while for Honolulu, in ad-
dition to rifles, are hundreds OF cases
of ammunition, including shells for the
big guns, as well as a tremendous num-
Der of cartridges. According to ac-
counts of those who have been long
acquainted with the shipment of goods
to the islands, never before has so
much Army material been dispatched
in one shipment.

NEARLY EQUAL DIVISION
 ON EDITION Of BIBLE
The Main Subject of Discussion n Presbyterian General Assembly.

Kansas City, May 27.-Attempts to secure a record O endorsements of the standard American revised edition of the Bible as the best version before the American public. and commenting it's widest usage among Presbyterians, aroused the general assembly of the Presbyterian church todaG to one of the most spirited discussions since the assembly met, and the attempt failed by the very narrow margin, of 2l7 to 2l1.
 Discussion foreign missions, Rev. pr. Stanley White said the foreign mis- sion board of the church had never before faced such a crisis as now. This is because of governmental unrest in some Of the eastern countries, espec- ially China. Korea and India, and be- cause of the efforts of the American missionaries had undermined many native religions It is a disgrace, he said, that after the edict to stamp out the opium curse had been issued in China, spurious cure for the habit had been introduced from the west which contained morphine and largely neutralized the effects Of the edict.

And She Says She Has Handwriting to
 Prove Her Statement
That Abandoned Annument Proceeding She Says Never Would Have Begun but for Irresistible Pressure From Pittsburg

New York, May 27-That the rela- tions between Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and her husbands family are already strained was made apparent today when she issued a statement vigor- ously assailing the insincere attitude assumed toward her by Thaws rela- tives since the beginning of the trou- bles"
 The statement followed an exchange of formal statements between Mrs. Thaw and Franklin Bartlett, counsel for Harry Thaw's mother. which was furnished after a discontinuance yes to-day of the proceedings which young Mrs. Thaw began for an annulment of the marriage. She declared at the time that she had been practically forced to begin action by the pressure exerted by her husbands relatives and withdrew the suit because she believ- ed that her husband in his present predicament, merited her loyalty.
 A little later Mir. Bartlett made statement in which he denied em- that either he or any of Thaw's relatives had anything what tNNA lb NO Nllli lllt luSlllullOH OL lilt suit. He said that Mrs William Thaw desired Evelyn Thaw to be treated not only fairly but generously. and that at the present time she was being given an allow anee of s1,O0O per month.
 Her replay to the statement is as follows: Tn answer to the threaten ing and insulting statement issued by Col. Bartlett in the name of Mrs. w. c. Thaw, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has this to say, that the state ment is in keeping with the insin- cere attitude assumed toward her by Mir. Thaw's relatives since the be- ginning of the troubles.
 Daniel O'Reilly now reiterates that the annulment proceedings were be- gun at the behest, persuasion and so- licitation of Col. Bartlett and A. Rus sell Peabody, representing the Thaw family, so the question may not be discussed further. I have in my pos session gndeniable proof, the hand writing of a member of the family and there is so much proof known

4 SERIES OF ACCIDENTS
 IN VICINITY OF AVALON
A Death, a Supposed Death and a
 Sensa tional Rescue.

Avalon, Catalina Island, by United Wireless, May 27.-Captain 4. Crist. of the launch Zeus, Avalon. is believed to be dead, c. F. Hooline, an ordinary seaman. of the cruiser Buffalo is drowned, and E. E. Easton, his wife, two small children, and a colored nurse rescued by the Buffalo from high seas last night after drifing helplessly for two days in a small launch, form a combination of accidents of the sea in the vicinity of Catalina Tris' from the launch on Sunday night, and a row boat disappeared at the same time while several miles off Avalon. The disappearance of the row boat leads to the hope that Crist is still alive, and the Buffalo is searching for him. Hooline was lost while the rescue of the Eastons was being elected. Easton was a former war correspondent for Harper's Weekly.
