LAUNCHING OF THE LURLINE.

In the presence of only few of the
officials of the shipyard and owning
company and party of invited guests,
the new steel passenger and freight
steamship Lurline, building for the Mat
son Steam Navigation Co., of San
Francisco, Cal, was successfully
launched at the plant of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co.,
Newport News, Va, on January 11th.
AS the vessel started on her journey
to the waters of James river, Miss Lur-
line Matson, daughter of Capt. William
Matson, president of the owning com
pany. smashed bottle of champagne
across the great steel bow.
The Lurline will be completed in
about five months; and, after loading
a cargo at either Baltimore or New
York, will sail for San Francisco. The
vessel will be employed in the freight
and passenger service between San
Francisco and Honolulu. The Lurline
is 450 feet long, 55 feet broad, 81
feet deep, and of $500 gross tonnage
She will be propelled by a singles
screw, triple-expansion engine of $500
horsepower. Steam will be furnished
by feur Scotch boilers. The designed
speed is 16 knots an hour.-N. Y. Nau-

SH|PWRECkED SAILORS
To Be PAID OFF FRIDAY

The crew of the Eclipse will be paid
off on Friday at o'clock in the aft
ernoon. In response to Captain Lar
sens cablegram to his owners sent
on Monday, funds were received here
by cable and are now in bank. Cap
tain Larsen submitted all the ships
papers bearing on the crew list and
their pay, to United States Shipping
Commissioner Almy yesterday. They
are very much water stained as they
were carried through all the difficult
ties of the sixteen days in the open
boat. Commissioner Almy will go up
to the Queens Hospital to pay of the
men instead of having them come to
his Office as they are not yet discharg-
ed from the hospital.

Ointment very highly. I used it for
itching piles from which I have been
a great sufferer. A constant burning
and itching existed which not only
caused intense agony but was very an
noying and mortifying, as I was
scratching and digging almost un-
consciously to get relief. I used any
number of remedies but nothing had
the slightest effect until 1 got box

'DR. COFER IS BACK
FROM THE MAINLAND

DR.. L. E. Cofer, Chief of the U. S
Public Health and Marine Hospita
Service in this Territory, yesterda,
returned from nearly a half years alb
sence, during which DR.. Carl Ramu.
has been successfully in charge.
DR.. Cofer. during his trip, has beer
in charge of the Ellis Island immi.
grant station, New York, the most
important duty of its kind in the
United States, and for nearly three
months he was in charge of the plague
hospital in Seattle, so he has worked
both ends of the continent to the ad-
vantage of this Territory in that he
has added to his already enviable rec
ord of responsibilities some very valu-
able observations, the benefit of which
will come to Hawaii.
Hawaii will ever go forward said
DR.. Cofer last night to an Advertiser
representative, replying to a question
as to whether any changes were con-
templated in the system or methods
now in vogue in the local quarantine
and marine hospital service.
I'VE are all the time planning i'm
provements, but these will come as
cessity requires and as conditions
shape themselves to receive the addi-
tional facilities"
Doctor Cofer resumes his duties as
chief at once. Everything has gone
along smoothly and everything will
continue to go along smoothly here"
he said.
Honolulu is one Of the difficult
ports in the United States in Federal
health duty, lying as it does between
the Orient where smallpox, plague
and cholera are common, and the
Americas along whose western coasts
fevers frequently rage. The opening
of the Panama Canal in a few years
will increase the responsibilities of
Uncle Sans doctors here, but long be-
fore that time this health station will
be so perfected in every detail that it
will be fully able to protect, not only
this Territory against disease from
the outside, but the United States
mainland in relation to which Homo
lulu will be a greater gateway in
many ways than San Francisco or any
other coast port.
The Honolulu station, also, is per-
haps a station where some of the
most practical progress has been made
in the study Of disease. Soon quar-
antine island will receive further at
tention and Congress may appropri-
ate for extensive receiving structures,
so that at no time will Honolulu be
unable to handle an emergency.
At the head of all this DIR. Cofer
has the confidence not only OF his su-
periors in Washington. bnt of the peo-
pie here.

A BIG COAL BILL.
A few days before the bill was re-
ported to the House Rear Admiral
William S. Cowles, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Equipment, and incidentally
brother-in-law to President Roosevelt,
appeared before the Appropriations
Committee, and then announced in eX-
planation why there was deficiency
of million dollars in the Navy De-
partment's coal bill, that the extra
coal was necessary because the fleet
was going around the world. Admiral
Cowles gave some interesting informa-
ton regarding the coal stored for the
use of the fleet.
"'During the present year we have
shipped 10000 tons to Honolulu and
100000 tons to Cavite," he said. ''These
battleships, sixteen of them, take about
$4,000 tons to a coaling. They eat up
coal very rapidly. Then we have sent
$4,000 tons to Puget Sound, and Co.
900 tons to San Francisco. We have
contracted for 100000 tons of coal in
all.
HThe Department generally keeps
N e af Tox-ita
the coaling station in the Philippines.
On December l there was at Cavite
S6,512 tons. and sufficient on the way,
or under contract to bring the amount
to 10000 tons. The next coaling sta
ton will be at Yokohama where the
ships will coal ON their way to Japan"
Admiral Cowles went on to explain
that when the feet returns by way of
the Suez Canal it will have colliers
along and will buy coal. The Depart
nent will also send them coal in char
tered colliers. "We have a coal agent
in many ports" he explained. "We
always set aside nearly a million dol
lars of the amount for the year for
that purpose. They go into port
and buy the coal from the agent at
the current rate. If they go into
port where the coaling facilities are
not good, they fill up the colliers and
send them ahead or take them with
them. 1t will cost $4,000 a ship for
tolls on each battleship to come through
the Suez Canal.'
Admiral Cowles admitted that he had
already contracted for the coal in spite

he Presidents accommodations"

the Presidents Recommendations"
Members of the subcommittee Of
the Committee on Appropriations hav-
! ing in charge the fortificatio bill are
generally favorable to the Presidents
plan of converting Pearl Harbor into a
modern Gibraltar. Representative
Smith of Iowa, who is the chairman of
| the subcommittee on fortifications
said that he thinks the money provid-
ed for the insular possessions this year
would break all past records.
TT should be understood" he said,
that Congress does not specify the
various localities to be fortified. We
merely provide the cost of these works
in lump sum and the strategists of
the army determine how it shall be
distributed. So long as all the Great
Powers of the world were east of Us
the War Department rightfully con-
cluded that if we were to be menaced
in the future it would be by a Euro
pean foe. Consequently the appropri-
ations for coast defences were expend-
ed along the Atlantic coast. The re-
suit is that the Atlantic coast harbors
are now in an excellent state of de-
fence, while the Pacific, outside of San
Francisco, is not adequately protected.
In the meantime the foreign ma
tions to the west of US have become
more powerful than they formerly
were, so there is additional reason for
looking after the Pacific Coast. My
personal judgment is, inasmuch as Ha-
waii, if taken by a foreign Power,
would be base for attack on the Pa
cific Coast, it is the most important |
place to be put in a condition of strong |
defence. 1t is more important in this
regard than any place on the coast.
mo nation in the world could con-
duct a naval campaign so far from
home as would be necessary in the !
Pacific without controlling Hawaii. |
Consequently the Pacific Coast will be
safe so long as we are able
to keep an enemy from taking over
Pearl Harbor think this years ap-
for this purpose will be
liberal enough to meet the views of all
persons"

FLEET COMING HERE.

Contemporaneous with this activity
comes the authoritative announcement
that the battleship fleet now on the
way to the Pacific is going to visit the
Far East, which means that it will go
to Honolulu. This fact came out in
connection with consideration of the
Urgent Deficiency bill in the House.
1t contains an item of s1,0O0,0OO for
coal for the fleet, which had to be ex-
planned before Congress would vote
the money.

Perdue University Student, Charged

New York, July Mrs. Elizabeth
Washburn of Lafayette, Ind. who
caused the arrest of Enrique Llamas.
a youthful Purdue university student.
on a charge of stealing $12,4oo from her.
pleaded in vain today with Magistrate
Wahle to dismiss the charge against
the young man. Instead the MAGISTRATE
held Llamas in $1,000 bonds on the lar
ceny charge and then directed the ar
rest of Mrs. Washburn and the re-
arrest of the young man on statutory
charge. Each was held in $500 ball for
a later hearing.
Mrs. Washburn told the court that
she had paid Liamas' tuition at Purdue
and had made him an allowance OF $50
a month. Llamas appeared very much
disturbed when he learned that Mrs.
Washburn's husband had been apprised
of the double arrest.
Maybe he will shoot me-" said the
Young man.
