CHARTER To CARRY
JAPANESE CANCELLED

Those japanese who have been wait
ing for the arrival of the British steam
er Den of Ruthven to get a cheap pas
sage to the nearest Canadian port are
going to be disappointed. The vessel,
which is due here on Sunday, win not
come into the harbor at all, but will
make a call for orders only and pro-
coed on to Victoria. She viii take no
japanese from here.
The Den of Ruthven, which is a
brand-new steamer, had been chartered
originally to bring cargo of coal
to Honolulu from New Zealand and
after discharging it was intended that
she would be fitted up to carry Japa-
nese from Honolulu to Victoria. The
attitude of the Canadian immigration
department and the increased Difficult
ty to be expected in landing her pas
sengers at the Canadian port have
made difference, however, in the plans
of her charterers and the coal she has
aboard for this port win be carried
straight through to Victoria and dis
charged there.

OVER
TWO FEET LONG

A native came into town from Ka-
hama yesterday with a monster craw-
fish, one of the largest ever seen here.
The crustacean was over two feet
long and weighed eleven pounds. 1t
was caught in net off Kahana. The
crawfsh was sold to a local Chinaman
for $3.50.
The crawfsh or Hawaiian lobster is
a tasty sea-product and commands a
ready market in Honolulu. Unlike its
mainland cousin, which it much resem-
bles, it is clawless. A specimen foot
long and weighing five pounds is re-
garded as an unusually fine one

ing credence. Mr.. Bodley when writ
ing his France" experienced the force
Of this in. a curious way. He. shut
himself up in France for years to get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One OF his
trials arose over some question Of elect
oral jurisprudence. It was not of In
terna tional importance. but still inter,
esting to students OF comparative pro-
cedure. Therefore he wrote to dep
uty who is parliamentary expert to
clear up the obscurity in which the
text books involve the point and incor-
porated his reply in the text of the
book. Later. being invited by an ex-
perienced mayor to be present at a
poll over which he presided, Mr.. Bod
ley put the question to him and re-
ceiyed quite different reply. Finally
the author referred the point to a
senator of indisputable authority. who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong.-St James Gazette,

sitting the servant came up to tell me
Sir Edwin Landseer was below. Dick

seen my beard and mustache yet
Charles Landseer and Edwin had been
abroad for some time together in Italy,
and they hadn't all met for months
Edwin came up and took no notice of
the beard, and at last Dickens said:
We'll, Lanny, what about all this?
D'you like it? Think it's an improve

Landseer said quite gravely. Tt hides

the least offended. He'd let 'Lanny'
say anything"
