JAPAN'S COASTS
TO BRISTLE WITH
WIRELESS STATIONS
Pacific Mail and Other Transpacfc Steamship
Companies Have United in a Common
Plan for a Common System.

The coast of Japan is to be fringed
with wireless telegraph stations.
A number of the big steamship COM
panies having vessels plying between
japanese ports and other lands have
united to establish single system
that shall serve the vessels of all of
these lines.
According to present plans, all the
vessels of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company will be equipped with wire
less apparatus. So, also, will the yes
sells of the other line operated in con-
junction with the Pacific Mail, the
Toyo Kisen Kaisha.
The companies which have united in
this common system are in addition to
the Pacific Mail and the Togo Kisen
Kaisha, the, Great Northern Railway,
which operates a line of steamers from
Tacoma to Japan; the Canadian Pa
cific line, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha,

week 1 shall go to Kauai and later to
Molokai where a lighthouse is to be
constructed, to some parts of Maui,
and to the whole of Hawaii.
while here 1 will visit the Makapuu
lighthouse. 1t may be of interest to
the people here to know that the lens
for the Makapuu lighthouse is the most
expensive one in the world. The lens
is one that was used as an exhibit at
the Jamestown Exposition and it was
sent here some time ago. The Ian
tern has not arrived here yet. The
Makapuu lighthouse, when completed
and burning, will send a light fifty
miles out at sea under good weather

a serious police problem confronts
here within the past few weeks by
transports and deep sea vessels some
thing like forty or fifty men ION the
beach," These men are unable to get
work They are being driven to des-
peration. Crime attributable to them is
beginning to increase.
Already there have been two or three
holdups which the police are satisfied
are the work of some of these strand
ed on the beach. and there are actual
" in the cells at the police station now
two men left here by transports or
from deep sea vessels, who are being
held while their supposed connection
with these holdups is being investi-
gated.
Every transport either way leaves
some stowaways The attitude of the
quartermaster captains of these ves-
sells is that this is an American port,
and hence that they have a right to
leave stowaways here In addition,
some of these officials make it a point
to leave them here. One of them re-
Gently told Chief Taylor that every
stowaway on his transport from San
Francisco or from Manila would be
left here and that any stowaways from
here for San Francisco would get all

OF hard work and brig fare.
The Moana on her last trip brought
back five who had slowed away on
one of the vessels of her line in this
port, and after getting as far as Suva
and serving ten days in jail there,
We're brought back here. The Thomas,
which left here last Saturday, left
eight stowaways here.
In addition to this number of deep

This being the case it Is now regard

him TO ascend the throne in succession

of the tour has as yet been given out
by the japanese government in view

and the North German Lloyd, besides
one or two British companies operat-
ing steamers from Japan to Europe
The bulk of the expense, however, is
to be borne by the companies operat-
ing steamers between America and
Japan, as it is vessels arriving from
and departing to America, across the
broad Pacific, to which it will be of
the greatest advantage.
The plan is to have wireless sta
tions located at a sufficient number of
points on the coast of Japan to inter-
cept messages from vessels arriving
from any quarter.
Information of this was received by
the officers of the japanese steamship
Kasato Maru while they were in port
here. According to their advices, their
steamship is one of those which is to
be equipped with wireless apparatus
so as to be able to communicate with
these stations.

vessels have not gone out, so that
there is quite an accumulation of sail
ors and others in town. AS the police
put it, there are between forty and
fifty men on the beach. Petty thiev-
ing, which is clearly not the work of
Hawaiians, is beginning to develop.
The Standard Oil ship Astral dis
charged about twenty-eight men here.
The Edward Sewall discharged about
as many. The Astral is now getting
ready to sail within two or three days.
and Captain Durham is preparing to
ship a crew of Japanese SO that the
opportunity that her sailing would be
expected to make for, say, twenty
of these men on the beach, will not
materialize. and that number of white
sailors will have to look elsewhere.
Captain Durham sent about thirty
Japanese, who had applied to him, to
the immigrant station day before yes
terday to be examined as to their
status, as the regulations of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor re-

eight who produced some sort of be-

Captain Durham had the bunch Of
about twenty working on the vessel
yesterday. If he wishes it. they will
all be signed on the vessel, the Ship
ping Commissioner being required to
sign them on, but he is also required
to certify whether they are sailors or
not. Whether those who are not sail
ors will be permitted to land in New
York or not, or what view the au
thorities there will take of Captain
Dunhams action. depends on them.

Following is a translation from yes

Honolulu is to be visited within a
short time by the Crown Prince of
Japan, who has resolved to make the

Is believed to be correct.
For several years the Japanese Crown
Prince has wanted to make the tour
of the world, beginning with visit
TO America and returning to the Orient
by way of Europe, but continued poor
health has forced the postponement of

BE ALWAYS PREPARED

This gentleman says that every ves-

mission within forty-eight hours after
orders are received. They are kept
constantly coaled. AS fast as coal is
burned from their bunkers, it is re-
plenished. Supplies of coal are kept at
every port where naval vessels lie.

A gentleman who passed through
here on the Siberia, who is especially
we'll informed on Japanese matters,
told a number of friends during his
stay here of the wonderful state of
preparedness in which the entire naval
force of Japan is kept.
Aside from the fact that this gen.
tleman has exceptional opportunities
for accurate information. and has
demonstrated the accuracy of his in
formation a number of times, what he
says is in harmony with the attention
to detail which characterized the Jap
anese preparations for their war with
Russia.

Stewing and Braisinq.

SteWng meat is the most economical
method, for the long, slow process
makes the toughest meat tender, little
fire and little attention being necessary
while all the liquid can be used as gra-
Wy, and the vegetables steWed with
the meat make it so Il long way
SteWing meat should be placed into
cold water. and brought quickly to the
boil, but once it has boiled a stew
should never be allowed to boil again
Let it simmer gently with the lid on
the pan.
In braising meat the bottom of the
pan is celery and herbs and about half
pint of stock. The meat is cooked
resting on the vegetables, but not
touching the stock or the herbs The
pan is placed over gentle heat, with
the lid tightly put on, and must lie al
lowed to simmer. After the meat is
cooked it is placed in a hot oven for a
very few minutes.

Household Hints.

The improved pie pan has a blade
fastened to the center, which revolves
around the bottom Of the dish beneath
the pie crust when the end protruding
from the side of the dish is moved.
Pumice soap and ammonia will cure
the worst cases of furnished brass Just
moiSten a cloth with ammonia, rub it
briskly over the pumice soap and then
apply to the article to be cleaned. The
operation is simple and easy one and
the results are immediate and most
satisfactory.
Don't forget to send lemon or an acid
sauce around with the fish, for without
this savory addition even the finest
shad is as nothing.
Keep pumice stone Ly your sink
When there are brown streaks in your
granite, porcelain-lined or steel kettles.
rub them off with the stone.
Clotheslines and pegs will last much
longer if they are boiled for ten min
utes when new. 1t is a good plan to
repeat tho boiling occasionally.
Art muslin curtains should never be
washed in warm water Make a lather
with hot water and when It IS nearly
cold wash the curtains. If there are
green add little vinegar, if lilac or
pink u little ammonia. Salt will set
the color of black and white muslin.
Stains made by medicines and iini-
ments are among the most obstinate of
removal and frequently tax amateur
knowledge to the utmost. Iodine marks
may, however, be successfully removed
by means of liquid ammonia, a little
of the spirit being poured into a saucer,
the stained garment laid across it and
the spot Gabbed repeatedly with the
fingers until it disappears. 1t should
then be rinsed in tepid water and
washed with strong soapsuds in the
usual manner
