sHINGLE TALKS
Of STEAMSHIPS
Asked for Proposals for a Line
From Here TO Los
Angeles.

'sWe have been in San Francisco,
Los Angeles and New York, said
Robert ". Single who returned by
the Hilonian yesterday, con business in
the interest of the Hawaiian Mahogany
company.
s'We asked for proposals from TWEEN
ty-two different steamship companies
for establishing a line of steamers be-
tween the islands and Southern Cali
fornia, with the Santa Fe contract for
ties as the basis of negotiations We
received from eight of the companies
offers which were within the posi-
biIity of consideration. The best one
was from the Matson Navigation com
pany. That viii be presented TO the
directors OF the Mahogany company at
q meeting to be held tomorrow morn
ing.
There seemed a great reluctance on
the part of most Of the companies
TO consider the matter Most of them
seemed to think that as long as the
Pacific Mail had it's large steamers in
the Pacific it would get the bulk of the
tourist trade. Then there seemed a
question whether there could be
developed enough freight this way.
f'The Los Angeles people were very
much interested in the matter and
very anxious that line should be es-
tablished. But for the present at least
this seems to be an impossibility. The
Matson lines proposition includes the
Use of the steamships they have, and
of the Lurline which is shortly to be

COMMITTEE MEETING

The Mckinley Memorial committee
viii hold a meeting tomorrow after
noon. at three O'Clock, in the directors
room of the Bank of Hawaii.
In response to a published intimation
from the committee that it would well
come suggestions from the public as TO
the most fitting disposal Of the funds
subscribed, several different plans and
proposals have been submitted. The
of these new ideas have
been invited to meet the committee at
tomorrow's meeting, in order that ali
may have an opportunity of expressing
their views. The session will doubtless
be an interesting one.

L And by the hands of the apostles

there also came together the multitude

Mr.. TIMING s POSTSCRIPT.

In a report in yesterdays Star Of a
courtroom disagreement In which Mr..
Thwing took part, 3 very important
part of the matter was not mentioned.
After the discussion of the subject, as
TO the improperly of Mr.. Thwing
speaking to other witnesses outside OF
the court room, Mr., Thwing asked the
Z. :. Commissioner for definite informa-
ton or instructions, as TO the right or
wrong Of witnesses talking together.
He said: 81 am forced TO come here
as a witness. my Chinese friends are
also required TO be here, we have re-
ceived no instructions as TO our con-
duet, we are not supposed TO know the
points of law, or the requirements Of
witnesses. We want TO do what is right
and if we have made mistakes / would
like to have definite instructions from
your honor. The u. :. Commissioner
then replied. q No instructions 10 give
So it is quite plain that the court
did not consider the conversation to-
getiler Of witnesses, outside Of the court
room, as an improperly.
In regard 10 the statement Of my
helping the prosecution, | VIII say that,
in the interests Of truth, | freely fur
nished information to the prosecuting
attorney, and also 10 both of the at
torneys for the defence, which they
freely used in the defence Of the ar
cused. There was no attempt 10 conceal
any OF the facts IN the case, from either
side.
