MARINE

From Sunday last at daylight until
just little before noon yesterday the
steamers HfIonian and Columbian both
bound for this port from san Fran
cisco were in sight Of each other and
racing for Honolulu. The Hilonian
reported first. using her wireless, and
the Columbian arrived first. The Hi
lonian sent an etbe-gram early yes
terday morning when seventy-two
miles from Diamond Head announcing
her presence and the coming of the
other boat. Just about this time the
freighter started a squirt and made
the offing an hour ahead of the Mat
soE liner. Both vessels report fine
passages from san Francisco with the
exception of the first day out when
the bad weather which has been pre-
vailing along the Pacific Coast for
several weeks and which the Hilonian
had a hard touch of on the trip up
was encountered.
The Hilonian had a full list of pas
sengers and brought about two thou
sand tons of freight. The Columbian
has a light freight for this port but
will take a full load of sugar from
here and Kahului for which port she
sails on Sunday. Neither steamer re-
ports seeing anything of the yacht
Hawaii on the run down.
The bark Amy Turner will get away
for San Francisco today with a fun
load of sugar.
The schooner Honoipu sailed out of
the harbor on Tuesday afternoon and
handled like a yacht.

FEAR OF THE KAISER
GERMANS NOT SURE HE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE OF
 NoNINTERFERENcE.
UNIVERSAL DOUDTING OF HIS SINCERITY
Press Says He VIII Not Keep Ills Word-The Reichstas ls Uneasy Chancellor Won Buelow Says Ger mans Desire Peace and Quiet at Home and Abroad"

Berlin, Nov. 20-Two days have passed since Emperor William made his statement to Chancellor von Bue- low regarding his observance in future of the constitutional requirements of the empire in the matter of interfer- ing in the foreign relations of the state, and the German people are even less satisfied with the imperial assurances than they were in the be- ginning.
 There is throughout the country, an almost universal tendency to doubt the sincerity of the emperor's prom ises. In fact the people seem to be thoroughly dissatisfied with the i'm perial assurances as conveyed by the Reichs Auzeiger. The press does not hesitate to intimate that the emperor gill not fulfill his implied obligation to leave the conduct of the nations affairs to the responsible minister, and in some quarters his words are almost classified as untrue
 The matter will not be allowed to rest by the Reichstag. if the indica- l tions of the present are fulfilled. and there Is reason to believe that the contest between the crown and the
 people. judging from the temper of the provincial press, has only begun, and that 1t will be carried on with a good deal of bitterness.
 Thursday many of the parliamentary group are holding private sessions to decide what course shall be adopted In connection with the imperial dec ] laration.
 Chancellor von Buelow made a lengthy speech Thursday in the Reichstag on the new measures to in crease the imperial revenues. The house was only half filled. The prince | held that the existing unfriendly feel ing toward Germany could be over come. and he said he believed bor- I rowing policy was unworthy German progress and industry.
 He spoke in praise of the British and French methods of finance and es- pecialIy te sinking fund, and conclud- ed amid mingled cheers and misses, with these words:
 l Germans desire quiet at home and abroad. but their fault is that, al though able, they are unwilling to pay more taxes"

coNvIcTs SET FIRE TO MINE.
Daring Attempt of Alabama Prisoner'
 to Escape,

Birmingham, Ala. Nov 19.-Flfty state convicts employed in the mines at Pratt City formed a conspiracy Monday night to set No. afire ana escape during the confusion and as result. eight of them are b,.rhcd to death, one Is missing and the other Al are safely locked in the stockade-
 The coup was cunningly planned and daringly executed. A lot Of tim bers lying in the manway were isrlted and the. convicts hoped when atteh- tion had been attracted to the flames they could make their way through the mine and escape by the man entry. They had hoped to be able to make their way along the mine ahesd of the smoke and fumes from the nIe. In this they miscalculated. Tor nine appear to have been suffocated. The others appeared to be meeting with success when the mine officials sus- pected something. One employe saw the flames burst out and they came so suddenly and in such volume that he was sure oil or some highly com bustible material had been used Tn starting the fire. Guards were at once placed and the 40 men were caught as they came from the main entry. The rescue work was then begun. for in addition to the convicts, 1t was known that there were number Of Tree laborers in the mines. All appear to have been gotten out safely except the cohvicts near the source of the flames who were early suffocated.
 Tn checking over the prison lists Tuesday night only one man is miss ing. and it is not known whether he perished or made his escape. The fire did little damage to the mines.

MORE LABOR CONFERENCES.
President Roosevelt Is Still Seeking
 information.

Washington. Nov. 2o-Further con day between the president and men who are prominent in labor matters made the attitude of the administra- ton toward proposed labor legislation. a subject of keen discussion in Wash ington Wednesday night. Among those who saw the president Wednes- day were Charles P. Neill. commis- sioner of labor: United States Attor- ney Henry L. Stimson of New York; Edward J Gavegan of New York, at- torney for labor unions, and Charles H. Sherrill. an attorney of New York. all of whom attended the labor din ner at the White House Tuesday eve ning.
 It is learned from the highest au- thcrlty that Ine object of the president in giving dinner to friends of labor and in holding the subsequent confer ences was primarily to bring about a better understanding between repre- sentatlves of the government and labor leaders and to impress upon the labor interests of the country the disposition of the administration to re- ceive it's representatives in conference on an equality with all others. The desire of the president, 1t was ex- plainsd, was to have the labor man feel that he has the right to present his grievances and demands. and to demonstrate that neither the labor leader nor the millionaire need come to the back door of the White House at midnight in order to have a con ference with the president"
 While the president believes that this rttitude of the administration had 1 feen demonstrated when labor leaders Q. Butte, Mont. were entertained at the White House. 1t is explained that he desired before he retired from of fee to make this disposition of the authorities even more evident The reason members of the supreme court of the United States and execu- tive officials were invited to be pres ont was merely to enable them 10 learn from the leaders direct what they regard as their needs.
 The occasion is said to have afford. ed A free exchange of ideas and to have been of Illuminating value" te the president.

Special Train to Carry Wreath.

Carelessness on the part of some court official recently rendered neces- sary the sending of special train from Budapest to Vienna to carry a laurel wreath for the tomb of the mur, dered Empress Elizabeth. It is the custom every year to make up on the empress estate at Godollo, in Hun. gary, a gigantic laurel wreath to be laid on the empress coffin in the vaults of the Capuchin church on the eve of the anniversary of her assas- sination. This year when the official in charge of the wreath arrived ip Budapest he found that the wreath had not been put In the carriage. To go back for 1t was to lose the train. and as 1t was imperative that the wreath should be laid in the imperial vaults that evening. the court cham berlain ordered special train to car ry the wreath over the 163 miles be- tween the Hungarian and Austrian capitals.
