Bic GUNS FOR
PEARL HARBOR

Waterfront interest last night and
today has centered in the arrival of
the steamer Lurlne and the bark Mo-
hican from San Francisco, the latter
bringing the two, big, 12-inch, rifle
cannon for defense of the entrance to
Pearl Harbor. Owing to the stormy
weather encountered and the natural
difficulties incident to the removal of
such heavy guns, considerable anxiety
was felt here about the shipment, re-
sulting in the wharves being crowded
last night with people at the time of
the arrival of the vessels.
The Lurline and her tow were re-
ported about Z o'clock but did not ar
rive off port until nearly 8. There
the steamer let go of the Mohican, and
the floating arsenal was picked up by
the tug Intrepid and brought in. The
Lurline went to the Oceanic wharf,
leaving the Matson dock clear for the
Mohican Today the Mohican was
shifted to the railroad wharf where
she will be discharged
In addition to the great guns the
Mohican brought 200 tons OF fertiliz-
er and 200 big tanks of gasoline. This
freight is being discharged first to give
more elbow room for the big task to
come.
For the guns a double floor had
been laid in the hold of the, Mohican,
upon which they rested easy and were
lashed in such way as to prevent any
possibility of rolling, even in a great
storm. To get them out two immense
shear-legs will be used These are
immense Oregon pines, 40 feet long
and 40 inches at the butt, brought
down on the deck of the Mohican. j.
ging firm of Smith, Rice & Company,
who came down with the guns, will
superintend their discharge from the
vessel. The guns will be hoisted from
the vessel directly upon cars at the
railway wharf and from there forward
ed to their destination.
The tackle brought along by Mr.
Bedford is capable of safely handling
| 100 tons. AS the guns weigh only 81
tons apiece no difficulty of an extra
ordinary nature is to be expected
Breech blocks for the guns were
brought along but the mountings and
incidental equipment are on the Hi
| lonian, due tomorrow night.
Captain Page, of the Mohican, is
making his first trip to the Islands as
master of the bark, although he has
been frequent visitor here in othel
vessels during the past fourteen years
He succeeds Captain Hersey on thu
Mohican, the former chief going al
master of the w. H. Marston. Captain
Page states that the Mohican will, IL
all probability, be stationed at Homo
lulu and used as freight barge. Sh,
is now practically dismasted.

WIRELESS ON
THE ALAMEDA

Irwin & Company received advices
today that the Alameda will at once
be equipped with wireless service, and
that it will be used on the next trip
of the vessel to Honolulu. The Mari
posa, running to Tahiti, will be SINH
larly equipped.
The firm also received information
that the Spreckels concern had sold
the tug Intrepid, now doing the tow
ing business at Honolulu, to Matson.
This will give the latter a monopoly
of towing at this port.

DID NOT
PROCLAIM

There may not be any necessity for
it,, says Representative Holstein, who
is to be Speaker of the House, but it
strikes me as unusual that the Cover
ernor has not issued a proclamation
calling this Legislature together.
Perhaps it is only essential for such
a proclamation in the event of extra
or special or extraordinary sessions,
but it has always been the custom for
a proclamation to be issued, at least
as far as my experience goes.
Still the Organic Act provides for
our meeting, and proclamation or no
proclamation, guess it is all right"
