WIRELESS NEWS PROPOSED.

On account of the great number of
vessels running into Honolulu which
now have or are planning to install
wireless systems, it is probable that
the United Wireless company will
make arrangements for regular news
service with the boats by wireless The
Alameda is the latest boat on which
it has been officially announced that a
wireless system will be placed. and gen
eral rumor SAYS that it will be a matter
of a very short time before the Pacific
Mail boats are all equipped to ami
hilate distance by means of the won
derful wireless telegraph systems 1t is
said that President Roosevelt aimed at
his old friend f. H. Hartman and the
latter steamship company when he
sent a special message to Congress ad-
vocating the passage of a bill making
it compulsory for steam vessels of a
certain size to have the wireless sys-
TENS on board. Rather than wait until
it is made compulsory. the Pacific Mail
steamship Company viii probably in
stall the wireless telegraph in the ORR
entail fleet as well as those boats which
run to Panama, within a short time.

MICHIGAN STAYS HERE.

The Mohican, which brought down
the big Army guns from the Coast will
be kept here for six or eight months,
and, if some disposition is not made
of her in the meantime she will then
probably be towed back to the main
land. Mr.. Drew of Castle & Cooke stat
ed the other day that the old converted
barge would be anchored in the harbor
as soon as the guns were taken out
of her hold. This means that she will
join the fleet of hulks on the Eva side
of the harbor. Mr. Drew also said that
the historic old Mohican might be sold,
unless some particular use is found for
her. The talk of putting her in the
sugar trade between the other islands
and this port turns out to have had
little foundation. 1t originated on the
Coast. the San Francisco papers com,
menting on the alleged fact that the
Mohican would be kept here for the
interisland sugar trade.
Work will start today in placing and
taking out the big shear-legs, which
will be used for lifting out the 57-ton
guns from the hold of the barge
