Harbor Lines Modification.
Many men interested in Honolulu's
harbor met with MajoR Winslow. En-
gineer Corps, u. S. A., in the latter,s
office, in the McCandless building, yes
terday morning at 10 O'Clock to dis
cuss matters connected with Honolulu
harbor. 1t was noticed some time ago
that the harbor lines as approved by
the Secretary of War in 1900 did not
agree with the ideas of people here as
to where those lines were or should
be. The matter is yet left in abey-
ance until representative of the Ter
ritoriaI Government can ascertain
what effect the new information as TO
the exact location will have upon these
plans. The object of calling the meet
ing was in carrying out the general
policy of the War Department not to
make any changes IN the matter Of
the form of the harbor without first
giving the public an opportunity to be
heard. The harioor lines of 1899 aral
1900 were SO indefinitely described that
the only method of obtaining better
information was to hear from those
who are interested in the harbor and
have knowledge of its lines.
The Army Engineer established g
number of triangulation stations and
connected up the lines with these sta.
tions as accurately as possible with
the map, but before submitting these
lines to the Secretary of War the pub
be heard.

Captain NJ. n. Sanders, who was Civ
en- short suspension for running the
transport Logan on the reef in this
harbor, returned from the Coast ON the
Alameda yesterday and Will take up
his regular work as one of the harbor
pilots today. Captain Sanders is a
popular man on the waterfront here

mistake was easily exeusable under the
circumstances existing at the time.
Both Captain Lane and Captain
Mosher have been doing excellent work
since they have been acting here. but
it is understood that Captain Sanders

Captain Mosher was appointed harbor-
master at Hilo. but Mr.. Russell went
over there a short time ago with the
commission as harbormaster in his
pocket. Marston Campbell stated a
short time ago that Russell S appoint
ment was temporary, Mosher to sue
coed him within short time. Water
front gossip says differently, however,
and there is considerable speculation
as to the outcome of the matter. If
Captain Mosher goes to Hilo, Captain
Lane will be assured of a place on the
staff of pilots This matter viii prob
ably be settled definitely today, when
Captain Sanders goes back to work.

grounds. near Benning Bridge, yesterday
afternoon. resulted in some interesting
matches the Washington club carrying
OF the honors in grand style before a
large and enthusiastic crowd. with 145
points to their opponents l39.
Although the teams are well matched.
the Analostans have always come out on
top. Interest in these contests is rapidly.
growing among the sporting fraternity OF
this vicinity, as was evinced by the size
OF the crowd that viewed the shoot.
The feature match of the day was that
Of e team OF seven men. representing
each club. each marksman shooting at
twenty-five targets. The visitors took the
lead and held It up to the last match,
when Steubener. an old crack OF the To-
Gals, killed twenty-three pigeons, and
Miles Taylor, Nwho Is secretary OF the
club. banged twenty-five out Of twenty
five.
In this match Brown proved the star.
missing only one bird out OF twenty-five.
Faraham and Du -Four also did well,
killing .twenty-one and twenty, respective

of the hOnOrs for the locals with twenty
three points each. while .. G. O.--who-
ever be may be-and Corse came next
with twenty-five and twenty-one points.
Starr proved the best man OF the day In
spite OF the fact that he is the last one
on the card. He was there. and failed 70
miss a single bird. killing forty out OF
the same number OF chances.
Another shoot that drew largely from
the interest OF the spectators was the
