CHINESE REVOLT FEARED
Foreigners at Chang Sha Are
Warned TO Board Warships.

Washington, May 16-Another uprising at
Chang-Sha, China. is very much feared.
The commander of the United States gun
boat Helena has telegraphed to the State
Department from Hankow that the condi-
tons at Chang-Sha are most serious and
that all foreigners were notified officially
on May II to seek refuge on the ships that
were available. The war vessels in the
river are believed 10 be sufficiently strong
to control the situation.
Although the State Department has not
been officially advised as to the exact
nature or cause Of the present threatened
uprising IL Is believed that II is directed
principally against the Manchu govern
ment It was pointed out that revolution
airy uprisings were Of more or less frequent
occurrence throughout China, but that in
most cases the scenes Of disturbances were
so remote from news centres that many of
them passed without the facts ever becom-
ing known. The present movement, how
ever, IN Human Province is Of more than
ordinary significance, tnasmuch as the
province is one of the most wealthy and i'm
portant in all China. During the last CEN
fury the troops from Human have borne the
brunt Of many conflicts and credit is given
TO them for suppressing the TAPPING re-
beIlion. IN which the contest lasted from
1855 TO 1861 The people Of the province have
long been noted for their anti-foreign senti-
ment and for their bravery in battle.
The proposed line of railroad from Han
kow- south runs directly through this
province, and it is believed that the dis
turbed conditions there viii stimulate the
Chinese authorities to their best efforts to
secure the construction of this road at as
early date as possible, as On its compile
ton the government will be in a position
TO rush troops to the disarected sections in
case Of formidable uprisings.
Chang-Sha, May 16.-The situation here ig
assuming a more hopeful aspect, but even
yet foreigners do not sleep in the city, al
though many of them engage in business
during the day. The authorities are active
~ pursuing the agitators. many Of whom
have been arrested, but Notwithstanding
this Threatening placards and circulars
continue to appear.

MANUFACTURES

A study of commercial movements
at home and abroad through the me-
dunn of the official statistics of the
leading nations disc1oses a rapid oe-
velopment of the worlds manufactur-
ing industries, evidenced not only by
enlarged importations OF manufactur-
er's materials, but also by greatly in
creased expectations OF manufactured
articles. In this growth the United
States is shown by the Bureau Of
Statistics figures to have participated
in a steadily increasing degree. The
United Kingdom, Germany, France and
the Uuited States are the worlds
greatest manufacturing nations. A
comparison of their exports of mann
features in the period from 1880 to
1908 shows, for the United Kingdom,
a growth from 1858, 100000 to 1894

ANOTHER DULL DAY
IN STOCK MARKET

This has been another dull day in
the stock market, although some new
stocks and bonds took the places Of
the "steadies" in the trading. Quo
tations remained about the same, al
though there seemed to be more in
quiries than were apparent yesterday.
On the streets $4,000 McBryde skies
changed hands at 500, which was on
the basis of the last previous sale. On
the board this morning however, bid
ding sagged to $9S, although the bonds
were held at 500.
Another block of Kauai Railway 6s
-$4OOO--sold at 500, which was on
the old basis.
Another bond sale was $4,000 Hilo
Extension skies at $9S so, this being
below the last previous sale, which
was at 500, At the close of this
mornings session $9S .25 was bid for
these bonds and 500 asked.
Still another sale was $500 o. r.
& L. Company at $1O2 so. These
bonds are fives. The last previous
sale had been at $102 70, at which
more were offered this morning, with
$102 rs bid ~
A sale of 10 Kekaha was made at
5000, which denoted no change. This
morning $195 was bid for this stock,
but holders were demanding $215.
Between boards 5 and 20 Oahu sold
at $94, which is the old basis. This
morning the stock was $33 IS bid and
$94 asked-practically the same as
for several days past.
A sale of Z shares McBryde was
made on the board this morning at S6,
after which more was offered at the
same but bidding had dropped to
$5.75.

AS ha6 been anticipated, the direc-
tors of the Merchants Association
yesterday AFTERNOON decided to refer
the entire matter of the interstate

of the leading railroad systems of
the islands appeared before the meet
ing in favor of the application of the
general laws; while ] l.. Mclean, of
the Inter Island Steam Navigation Co.
argued against the proposition.
Mr.. Dillingham; favored the general
scheme. The law was a regulation, in
the interest of uniformity and was
check upon carrying companies in
their dealing with the public.
Mr. Mclean felt that his company
was the only one that would be hit by
the laws, the principal difference to
be made being in the heaping up of
red-tape' and minor nuisances. He
accounted for apparent overcharges in
freights by calling attention to the diff

FIRST NATIONAL TO
STANGENWALD BUILDING

Definite arrangements have been
made as a result of which the First
National Bank will occupy the lower
floor of the Stangenwald building rs
soon as possible after the premises
have been vacated by Castle & Cooke.
This arrangement has been under
consideration for a long time, but the
final conclusion is recent.
How long the First National will re-
main in the Stangenwald building is
problematical, that matter depending
entirely upon the time of completion
of the new home of the bank, planned
for the corner of Merchant and Bishop
streets. Inasmuch, however, as this
new building depends upon the erec-
ton of the new postoffice building, and
the new postoffice building depends
upon a Congress which VIGOROUSLY
moves slow-the bank will probably
be located in the Stangenwald build
ing for some time.
The removal of Castle G Cooke into
the Cummins block at Fort and Mer-
chant will be slow and may not be
finally consummated under four or
five months. The building has been
taken over, but an enormous amount of
renovating and altering is to be done;

MR.. WELLS VISITS
OLD PLANTATION

Charles b. Wells, formerly manager
of Wailuku plantation, returned this
morning from Maui after an absence
of nearly two years from there, dur
ing which he has travelled around the
world and done more or less settling
in California. He has a fine home
over in the Golden State now, but as
he also has home near Waikiki he
denies the impeachment of absentee
landlordism."
81 have retained my interests in
the plantation at Wailuku," explained
Mr.. Wells this morning; "and went
over there to have a look at the old
place. My wife accompanied me to
the islands and we will return to Cali
fornia by the steamer leaving on June
8.
"Wailuku Sugar? Not since I have
known the plantation have seen the
cane look better. They have been
favored with ideal weather conditions
on Maui, and the cane shows it. Not
only at Wailuku, but at Spreckelsville
and Paia the cane never looked bet
ter. Hawaiian Commercial, to my
mind, will come up to the estimate
originally made for it, and the other
plantations of Maui will show up
equally we'll"

sarily in vogue on the other islands

AS before stated, no action was tax
en-, but the matter will be brought
before a general meeting.
The following was the much talked
about report of the trade and finance
committee, which brought up the dis
cussion:
Referring to George B. McClellan's
letter of April 80 regarding an amend
ment to be interstate commerce act

plicable to individuals or companies

that it has given the subject careful
consideration.

the largest carriers between inter-is-
land ports, and are assured by them
that there is no discrimination in their
freight rates. They exhibited to us

a big vault must be put in, and the
boundaries of offices established It
is therefore probably safe to say that
Castle & Cooke and the Matson
Steamship offices will not be fully
ensconced in their new home before
the autumn.
After Castle e Cooke are out of the
Stangenwald building the First Na-
tiOnal will alter the first floor to con-
form to their requirements. In all
likelihood the bank proper will go into
the side now occupied by Castle &
Cooke and the savings bank into the
present quarters of the Matson Steam
ship Company. These details will be
settled later, however.
The First Nationals lease of the pre-
misses at Fort and King streets runs
until November 1911, so that consider
able time is available If required. II
the removal is made next fall, a ten
ant, or tenants for a year will prob
ably be secured for the premises now
occupied.
AS previously stated, the First Ma
tional expects to eventually Occupy its
own home at Bishop and Merchant
streets. This will be & modern bank

ment to the locality.
