MARINE
TENYO PASSENGERS
co TO COLONIES

An unusual instance of travelling on
foreign vessel from San Francisco to
Honolulu with intention to proceed to
another foreign port occurred yester-
day when the Tenyo Maru arrived
from San Francisco. On the passen-
ger list appears the follOwing:
"For Honolulu-Mr ]. II. White.
house, Mrs. j. II. Whtehouse and
maid, Mr.. Z. J. Whitehouse. -
Then follows the usual list of pas
scngers for Yokohama, Kobe, Shanghai
and Hongkong. The unusual feature
is this: Passengers intending to lie.
over in this port are generally desig-
mated on the passenger list with
."L/O-Hon, and in due time, accord
ing TO United States shipping regula-
tions, they proceed to the Orient.
In this case the Whitehouses intend
taking the next boat to the Colonies,
which will be the Makura. They are
in the same position as passenger lying
over here to proceed to the Orient on
any vessel going there. They are GO
ing TO n foreign port, and therefore
the shipping regulations are being COM
piled with.
Once before the Tenyo Maru brought
large number of wives and relatives
of Navy officers attached to the At
lantic fleet. Their original intention
was to stop off here while the Atlantic
fleet was in port and later on proceed
to Japan. After arriving here many
decided they would like to go to Aus
tralia, where the fleet was ordered.
But in the end the majority chose to
90 on to Japan. They had obtained
the Collector of Customs authority to
proceed to Australia, and could have
used it if they desired.
The Tenyo Maru brought 426 sacks
of mail. thirty.four pouches of which
comprised registered package mail.
Owing to an unusually long examina-
ton of the passengers and crew, the
vessel did not reach the dock until
after 10 o. clock. She remains in port
until Q O'Clock, when she resumes her
voyage to Yokohama.
Among the passengers aboard are
Captain X. Ide and Lieutenant Take
mura of the japanese Navy. The
former was Mt one time attached to
the embassy at Washington as naval
attache. Both officers called at the
consulate and were long in converse.
ton with Consul Uyeno. Another prom
inent passenger is NJ. Yoshino, mana,
ger of the Manchuria Railway Com
pany, who is said to have visited the
mainland for the purpose of purchas
ing rolling stock, etc. He made 9
thorough study of the American rail
way systems.

HAWAIIAN COPRA
PLEASES IMPORTERS

George a. Moore & Co., commission
merchants, of San Francisco, see no
reason why Hawaiian copra should not
compete more than favorably with
other South Sea copra in the mainland
market IN IA letter to the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce they write:
San Francisco. November o. 1908.
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, Ho.
noluIu, Y. II.
Dear Sis: We beg to call to your
attention the large consumption in this
market of dried cocoanut, commercial.
~ known as copra, which reaches as
high as fifteen thousand tons per an
mum. Most of our importations are
brought from the Pacific and South
Sea Islands, hut having recently seen
n small parcel which issued from the
Hawaiian Islands of very good quail
ify; II occurs 10 us and we see no rea.
SON why large quantities of this could
not be brought from the American is
land possessions, notably the Hawaiian
IsIands.
For yOnr information We would say
that the ripe cocOanuts are cracked
open and exposed to the sun, where
upon the meat shrinks from the shell
and9fhe dried meat itself constitutes
the commodity above referred to,
which is today realizing in our market
$3.50 u. 5. gold. We would there.
fore appreciate it very much if
YOU would bring this matter before
the notice of the various planters who
are IN position to supply copra in any
quantity, no matter how small, and
ffUsn whom we should be glad to re.
eeive eonsignments, for which we
Veaid make prompt returns according
In the market conditions on arrival; on
the ether hand, we have no doubt
there ia considerable waste land OF
your different islands available fol
eoesanut plantations, and we woult
suggest that you strongly urge upoI
sueh landowners the ACCESSIBILITY o.
fostering this industry.
Coeoauut plantations in the Pacific

have now become quite an extensiv,
and profitable venture, and we hav'
10 doubt ii would prove so to you

WHITLEY WAS FORCED
TO QUIT HIS POST

NEW YORK, December S.-A Wash
ington special to the Warld says that
Judge Lebbeus X. Wilhey's resigna-
ton from the bench of the United
States Court at Shanghai, although
voluntary on its face, has been made
necessary because of the President s
irritation at his actions after his re-
cent return to China. Judge Whitley
disbarred an Italian lawyer from prac-
tse in his court, thus making trouble
with the Italian Government possible;
caused the arrest of Chinese subject
on charges of forgery, and brought the
prisoner to trial in his own court,
which had no jurisdiction over Chi
nese subject, and again refused to
admit to bail an American named
Price, whose case was passed on by
the Circuit Court of Appeals in Cali
fornia, which reversed Judge Wilhey's
action regarding Price. Wilhey's
course in the Price matter was regard
ed as tyrannous.
The recent occurrences caused Pres
ident Roosevelt to conclude that Will
fey is not temperamentally fitted for
judicial duties.
A cable to the Herald from Shang.
hal says "While the questionable
element which long fought Judge viii.
fey regards his removal as their vic,
tory, the general judgment in the
American colony is this action is SIM
ply the recognition by the Washington
authorities that the methods adopted
by Judge Whitley have operated to
nullify his efforts and discredited the
| American court.
''The conservative American bust
ness element say that, while indorsing
WilAey's purposes, they have been
alienated by his efforts to dictate and
his general domineering attitude. The
recent action of the American Asso'
citation memorializing the Department
of Justice and Congress for the install
lation of the jury system and relief
from a one.man court is believed to
have influenced the Washington au
thorities.''
