Con la animacion politica que
prevalece en- estos dias, el pu-

un asunto importantfsimo, que
esta planteado hace tempo y
que es precise resolver pronta-

Nos referimos a la reorgani-

inaplazable la reorganization de

MILVERTON'S
APPOINTMENT
SUPERVISORS WILL MEET TO-
MORROW EVENING AND DIS
CUsS LATEST TANGLE.

The Board of Supervisors will meet
tomorrow night at the regular time,
and from all indications the meeting
promises to be quite lively one. Mil
verton's appointment will come up for
confirmation, and according to the
County Act it requires the approval OF
the Board before it becomes legal. 1t
is understood that the majority of the
Board at last meeting were in favor
of having Olsen continue as Cath
carts deputy, but according to Cath
cart, the office became vacant on jan
uary l, as Olsen had sent in his res
ignatlon. The Supervisors claim that
the resignation had beer asked for by
Cathcart and they are not at all will
ing to accept 1t. At any rate the mat
ter will probably be decided on to-
morrow night.

ESTABLISH NEW
FREIGHT STEAMERS
MARITIME TRUST FORMS
COMPANY AND FIRST SHIP
LOADS FOR SYDNEY JAN. 16.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2O.-An-
other line of steamers to Australia
has been established, the initial YES
sci, the large British steamer Oriana,
to sail from this city in about a
month.
The Oriana was built in 1902 in
England, and is owned by the British
Maritime Trust, Limited, She is 3S2
feet In length, with a beam of 48.1
feet and depth of rs feet, and has re-
frigerator equipment, which will make
her suitable for the new line.
George w. McNear & Co. are agents
of the new Commonwealth line, the
name given to the company, and they
report that the Oriana will be here to
begin loading about January 18th. She
will sail direct for Sydney.
There has been a great demand for
steamers to Australia since the with
drawal of the Spreckels liners, and il
is believed that the new company, as
well as the Weir line, which is now
running treighters on the route, viii
prove to be profitable.

I. At OPERA HOUSE /.


Everything is IN readiness at the
Hawaiian Opera House for the open
ing Of the engagement Of Frank Cooley
and Gladys Kingsbury tonight Seats
are on sale at Wall, Nichols Co.'S store
throughout the day, the box Office at
the Opera House being open in the
evening The seat sale opened brisllly
this morning, and # IS practically
guaranteed the gOod-sizcd audiences
will prevail at the three night per-
formances and the matinee
"A Daughter OF Dixie" which Is to
be played tonight, Is a story Of the
South Of the present day. Anyone who
has read Henry Blossoms novel
Checkers" Is familiar with the story,
with which, Of course, n few liberties
have been taken for dramatic strength.
Another dramatizatiOn Of the piece
has Of late toured the United States.
While Mr.. COOley's version does not
deal so strongly with the race track,
II contains much more Of the real feel.
ing and depth Of the original story.
All the company favortes are TO par
ticipate I'm the production, which has
a wide range Of characters. Between
the acts Miss Maize Martell VIII pre-
sent new speclalties.
Mr.. Cooley desires particularly "a
impress upon the people OF Honolulu
/ that the change OF theaters does not
mean an advance in prices. Aside
from the boxes and loges, the highest
priced seat will be Is cents. The last
two rows OF seats on the lower nool
and the first three rows In the balcony
will be 80 cents, while the last three
rows I'm the balcony will be % cents
The gallery will OF course be 25 cents
What Mr.. Cooley plans to do Is TO pre-
sent good productions at popular pri
ces, Just as he has been doing hereto
fore. Informal dress will, OF course
be the rule at the Hawaiian during IN
engagement which IS to continue To-
ut least three weeks.

THREE ATTACKS
BY HEAVY STORM
Continued from Page One)

though the great seas which swept her
were of hurricane force. Unlike the
Borreson the Tolosan lost man, a
Chinese member of the crew being
washed overheard. Captain Frank
has brought his vessel here for repairs
and bunker coal.
The Tolosan was tossed about un-
mercifully, her propeller being Serked
out Of the water and her rudder jam
med with such force first from one
side and then the other that the steel
guides could not stand the strain and
they parted. 1t was then a delicate
matter to keep her head on with the
screw and, as it was, she took water
broadside, tons at a time, her life
boats being crushed and deck gear
swept away.
1t was dangerous work rigging tenn
porary steering gear in the fearful
storm. The largest lines aboard were
used. Two days after the first big
storm the temporary gear gave way
in another blow as fierce as the first
and again the big freighter was in
mortal danger Her cabins were flood
ed and her bridge lettering. Another
day or two of less strenuous weather
and hopes for an end of the blow and
yet again came the storm, another edi-
tlon of the hurricane, and once more
the steering gear parted. This time
steel cables were installed successfully
but the ship was so battered that wis
dom dictated a call here for repairs
and coal, for the progress of sAe yes
sci had been so hampered that she had
not enough coal left to make the voy-
age to Vladiyostok, even If she were
in safe condition
The Chinese member OF the crew
who was swept from the vessels deck
at the height of the terrific blow was
engaged with others in an attempt to
make fast the skyllght over the engine
roam to prevent the engine room from
being flooded. The skylight was but
two inches raised but such was the
force of the wind that 1t was lifted
from its hinges and forced back witt
great force. The Chinese was dashed
against the lee rail and a huge wave
following instantly was washed over
board.
Three times the cables working th'
steering gear were parted Three dis
tinct storms seemed to be the method
Of the weathers attack. At last i
