MALOLO WINS PRETTY DUEL
ON HER TIME ALLOWANCE
Maggie and MaloIo Only Two Yachts to Start
in MacfarIane Cup Race---Center
Jibes Neatly. ~

Mr.. Savidge came along with his
launch and the gun was transferred
from Vice Commodore Jaeger's launch
Then the latter made for the point off
Waikiki where the stake was to be an
chored and arrived there well before
the two racers.
A Pretty Start.
The start was a very pretty one
Both yachts kept well up the bay when
the first gun was fred and bore down
on the line opposite the Myrtle boat
club together, timing it SO nicely that
both bowsprits poked over the line with
scarcely an inch of advantage for either
one, less than ten seconds after the gun
was fred.
The Malolo had the weather berth at
the start, but Sam Lyle. who sailed the
Maggie, knew what he was doing, as
his boat could be relied on to outfoot
the Malolo on that point of sailing. a
close reach, and the Centers did not do
any blanketing for long.
Once outside the entrance channel
the two little racers hauled all the huff
they could stand and heeled over to it
in great shape. The Maggie was cut
footing the Malol0 but not outpointine
her, and the gap between the two boats
increased very slowly.
After starting the race Mr.. Savidge
headed his launch for Waikiki and gave
the writer, who was on board, a magnif

Hawaii's aquatic sports are soon to
be introduced, through the medium of
the lecture platform and stereoptieon,
to the English public. H. R. Austin,
writer and lecturer on aquatic sports,
has written to II. P. Wood for data to
use in connection with lecture which
he is preparing. The letter follows:
Dear Sir: I have been recommended
by Lady Lawson. who has been giving
me some information with respect to
swimming. in the Pacific generally, ito
ask YOU for some further particulars
with respect to Hawaii.
I am engaged in an enquiry on the
accomplishments and methods of swim
mers in various parts of the world, and
should be exceedingly obliged if you will
give me such information as you can
on the points mentioned in the enclosed
list.
VIII you also be so kind as to send
me some photographs of swimmers; the
purpose for which I require them is to
make lantern slides of to illustrate
lectures on the matter. For this pur-
pose silver prints, similar to the winter
picture enclosed. are the best; dull
results.
Lady Lawson tells me that you can
probably let me have pictures of native
boys diving for money, swimming in
the surf, and riding on it on boards,
ETC.
/ hear too, that at Hilo the natives
dive or jump from great heights; a
picture of such a feat if obtainable
would be very interesting.
If there are any other features Of
local swimming or bathing which may
be peculiar to Hawaii-such as bath
ing in hot pools-which I have not men
toned, I should he glad if you would
note them.
l enclose small postal order which
if insufficient to cover the cost of some
pictures and postage, / will supplement
on receipt of your advice, but shall
be i'll any case much indebted to you.
/ am unable to make personal en-
quiry in such a far distant land, and
must rely on the goodwill of a resident
there; your good offices will no doubt
assist me in my inability to obtain in
formation which in the. case of less
distant countries I am able to collect
personally. I shall be glad to reeipro-
cate such favor if in my power, and
beg to remain.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) Fl. R. AUSTIN.
Mr.. Austin particularly asks for in
formation on the following subjects:
l. What is the range of temperature
of the sea?
2. What is the range of temperature
of the air?
8. At what age do the boys learn
to swim?
4. Do they swim the breast strokes,
or the natural ''dog paddle?
5. Do they cultivate speed by com
peting in swimming races2
6. Have you any opinion as to
whether they swim as fast as white
speed swimmers?
7. Do the women swim?
s. Have you noticed the length of
time the diving boys remain below the
surface when diving for money, or how
long they can stay below the surface

MAk|NO'S men
BREAK Up
MEETING
Strikers Assemble to
Discuss Returning
Ito Work.

Dissatisfied with the empty promises
which the Maxine Negoro-Soga-Jij i'll
philanthropists have been handing out
to them, number of the striking Jap.
anese determined to call mass meet
ing yesterday, to discuss the advisable
ity of giving up the fight and returning
quietly to work. The suggestion met
with favor and meeting was an
Mounced.
But when the philanthropic leaders
of the Higher Wage association heard
of the plans of their dupes, they deter
mined to put a stop to the meeting
at all hazards, and they descended up
On the meeting in force The strikers
demurred at taking any more orders
from Maxine Higganbotham s follow
ers. but they finally consented to dis
perse.
Had il not been for the blind awe
in which the more ignorant Japanese
hold Maxine there is no doubt but
that the men would have voted to aban.
don the strike cause and return to work.
At it was, there were loud murmurings
against the high-handed action of the
Higher Wage Association in breaking
up the meeting, and one man was
heard to remark, 'we II hold another
one tomorrow any way.
But though the Higher Wage leaders
succeeded in breaking up the mass
meeting. they could rot keep the men
from talking among themselves on the
street, and the discussion which was
myzzled by the gganbothamites was
continued in japanese hotels and res
taurants last night.
Tt is probable that another meeting
will be called for some time today,
Those who were present yesterday say
that no inducement on the part of the
Higher Wage Association will be suf-
ficient to break up the second gather
ing, until the whole question has been
fought out and a vote has been taken.
Though the strikers are fast losing
faith in Maxine Higganbotham, they
evidently fear the man and seem TO
dread the consequences of break with
him. All orders of the other Higher
Wage Association leaders are issued in
the name of Maxine.
Contractors VIII Return.
The cane contractors held confer.
enee yesterday and it was reported last
night that they had decided to go back
TO work. 1t was impossible to get any
definite verifcation of the story, but
at seemed to find general credence
among the Japanese. These men have
never been so completely under the
control Of the Maxine Negoro bunch as
have the laborers, and that they left the
plantations was due more to sympathy
with the other strikers than to any be-

STRIKE BREAKERS
MAY GET COTTAGES

1t was rumored in town yesterday
that it had been decided al Honolulu
plantation that if the Japanese laborers
did not return to work today the cot
tages from which they were elected
some time ago would be turned over to
the strike breakers. This rumor could
not be confirmed, as Manager Ross
could not be reached. If it be true,
however, it VIII probably hasten the
end of the strike, for as long as the
cottages remain unoccupied the Japan
csc think that they still have a chance.
If they see the strike breakers moving
into what were once their homes, they
will probably commence to realize that
the plantations are well able to get
along without them and that the strike
is failure.

There were only two starters in the
race for the Macfarlane cup yesterday,
but the race lost no interest on that ac-
count, and one of the prettiest duels
ever seen in these waters was sailed by
the TWO fast little racing machines.
The day was ideal for a yacht race.
The sky was clear and the trade wind
was just fresh enough to keep lee rails
under water and the huff of the main
san shaking occasionally. 1t was pity
that there were only two entries from
the point of view of a spectator on
shore, but the race itself was so keenly
contested and the result was so much
IN doubt up ill the last minute that the
race proved to be as exciting and de-
ilghtful sporting event as the Yacht
Cub has ever pulled off
1t was due to the courtesy of Mr..
Savidge that the judges boat was able
10 ae, as stake off the Moana Hotel.
l he wind was SO brisk that the arrange
ment to have the judges start the race
ana then speed ahead of the yachts and
drop anchor as stake would not have
been feasible.

Takes ChIoroform But Is Saved
by Doctors Despite
Herself.

Because the world looked very, very
gloomy to her and life had, for the
moment, at least, become not worth
living, Mrs. j. D. Elson, who lives on
Hotel street near Punchbowl, drank
half the contents of a bottle of ehloro-
form yesterday morning and supposed
she had ended all her troubles.
She was discovered in time, however,
senseless, and was hurried to the
Queens Hospital in the patrol wagon.

around in short time, and she went
home glad enough that she had been
fooled in her suicidal purpose. Too
enthusiastic an absorption of booze

reason for the lady s unwise act

NAGASAKI, Japan, July 10.-The
genius of the japanese is distinctly
that of seafaring people. For gen
erat;ons a significant part Of the ma
tional livelihood has been won from
the deep. The sea has LEFT its impress
upon the national character. The fish
cries of Japan contribute no mean
share toward the support of the ns-
ton Naturally, whatever adds TO the
annual yield of the deep is welcomed
by the japanese avidly.
The Norwegian whaling Industry is
the parent of japanese Whaling, wa.ch
now constitutes an important part OF
the japanese fishing Interests. AS an
occupation, it was taken up by the
Japanese only five years ago. The Nor
wegian whalers for a number of years
put in at this port to dispose of their
s'strike" of oil and other products, and
it was the sight of these that induced
some enterprising japanese to engage
a number of Norwegians to assist them
in fitting out and operating ship, thus
introducing the industry into the en-
pire of Nippon. At present the east
and southwest coasts are dotted with
whaling stations which for ten months
of the year maintain fleets upon the
deep.
The most southerly station is that of
Hososhima. in the province of Hyuga,
on the west coast of Kyushu. North
of this, at Tottori, near the entrance
of the Bunga channel, is another sta
ton. In Shikoku there are two whal-
ing stations, one at Shimizu in the
southwest and the other at Kanura in
AWAY. At Oshima, in Kii-that is,
in the southernmost portion of the
main islands large and important
station, while at Mishima to the north
west is another The next station,
located at Ghost. west of Toxic, in the
province of Shimosa, Kinkazan, 10 the
northwest of Sendai, is the most nortker-
" station at present, but another IS to
be established farther north. The IS.
land of Tsu- shima. in the straits be-
tween Japan and Korea. is likewise a
whaling center, while on the coast Of
Korea the Japanese have set up two
large stations, one at Ulsan in the south
and the other near Wonsan in the north.
A feet Of twenty-eight vessels IN all
is engaged in the quest for whales in
all the waters neighboring to Japan,
and these vessels represent a number
of japanese companies. Most of these
vessels. which are lteamers fitted up in
accordance with modern requirements,
are relics Of the ali but vanished whal-
:nc fleet Of the Newfoundland waters,
having been purchased from their Nor
wegian owners, the whale having al
most disappeared from the Newfound-
land coast. Lest the animal likewise
become extinct off the Japanese coast
the companies have come to an under
standing to operate only twelve of their
steamers. Although the Japanese meth,
DDS of securing the oil are somewhat
primitive. according to Norwegian
standards, q good whale will yield be

TWO FISHERMEN FIND
BODY Of DROWNED MAN

The body of a Chinese who had evil
IDENTIFY been drowned was found float
ing in the water near Mokuoeo island
yesterday afternoon by two Hawaiian
fishermen. They towed it to the shore
just below the Kalihi Receiving Station
and notified Coroner Rose, who sum-
moned a jury and went out to view the
body.
There is yet no evidence to show
who the man was He was, from his
appearance and costume, rice field
laborer, but how he came to be IN the
water is mystery. The coroner thinks
the man must have been drowned near
er town and the body was carried down
to Mokuoeo by wind and tide. 1t had
apparently been in the water three or
four days and was in bad condition.
The Coroner s jury will sit at 1880
this evening at the police station.

AND WAS ARRESTED

eFong Young attempted to demon
strate yesterday that he is master in
his own house and as result he was
taken to the police station and had
to put up 800 bail before the sergeant
would let him go. The trouble was
that Fong was a little too emphatic
in his demonstration, going to the
length of brandishing butcher knife
over his wife head and threatening
to terminate her existence suddenly.
He will tell the judge about it this
morning.
