warships had on several occasions
cleared the monument of vegetation,
and touched up the cracks, ETC., but
that was not regular detail in any
way.
In response to inquiries, Mr.. Har-
rington looked up the records and
found that the monument was repaired
at the expense of the British admiralty
in 1897. In September, 1899, H. NJ. S.
Egeria visited the locality and a squad
of men cleared away the vegetation
and left the monument in good condi-
ton. In December, 1900, H. NJ. S. lea
rus visited the spot, and did some
more useful work. The monument was
not again visited for the purpose of
it up until November, 1901,
when the naval tug Iroquois went over.
The crew of the tug cleared away the
vegetation, filled up the cracks with
cement, reprinted where necessary, re-
painted the monument and repainted
the lettering. Three Years later the
Iroquois again went over and did some
more excellent work, but since then
has been done, as far as is
known at the naval station or the
British consulate.
1t would seem, however that Mr..
Harrington will be instrumental in re-
viving interest in the matter, and hay
ing periodical visits paid to it to have
the monument kept in proper condi-
ton.

TABU ON PEARS

SAN FRANCISCO, January 6.-Two

NOBODY BOUND TO TAKE CARE
OF CAPTAIN COOKS MONUMENT

1t would seem that there is a likeli-
hood of a definite effort being made
to have Captain Cooks monument at
Kealakekua Bay properly looked after
Acting British Consul Harrington has
in mind the matter of asking the Brit
ish government to contribute sum
each year for the purpose. That gov
eminent has already expressed it's will
ingness to do so, but 50 far the chief
difficulty has been to obtain the neces-
sary labor to look after the monu-
ment. 1t was suggested that the light
house keeper in the vicinity should be
asked to do it. Advances were made,
but many difficulties cropped up. and
he was unable to accept the position.
Admiral Cowles when spoken to
stated that there were no orders at
the local navy yard to have this work
carried out by men from the United
States navy. He would like to see
something done toward keeping the
monument in repair, but he was sure
that there was no obligation oil the
part of the United States government,
by any agreement, to have the work
done.
Mr.. Harrington when seen stated
that the British government had al
ready agreed to help by regular sub
scription, but there was no obligation
on the part of anyone to have the
work carried out. Men from British

HOLY ROLLERS DISTURB NEIGHBORS

A Porto Rican branch of the Holy
Rollers has started up in a small edi-
flee close to the Makiki cemetery.
So enthusiastically have the devo-
tees of the cause been rolling of late
that the neighbors have complained.
Chief of Detectives McDuffie paid
the rollery visit the other night and
found the rolling in full swing. About
a score of Porto Ricans of all ages
and of both sexes were rolling on the
floor for all they were worth. Some
were tearing their own hair, others
we're tearing the hair of their fellow
rollers. A few were engaged in rend
ing their garments between rolls.
McDuffie rolled up in the police
auto. On his approach all rolling

was suspended with the exception Of
the rolling of the bones by couple
of renegades behind the house.
The chief told the rollers that while
there was no objection per Sc to dis
Greet and seemly rolling, such rolling
must be done without disturbance of
the quiet of the night.
The leader of the sect, a roly-poly
fellow who works on the steam roller,
said that his highness' orders should
be obeyed, even if it were necessary
to purchase a Brussels carpet to roll
on.
This ended the incident and the
chief returned to town, made out his
report and deposited in it in his roll
top desk.

Sea Routes to Siberia.
ON the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
Contrary to previous reports. 1t now ap-
pears that the plans Of the English cap
tain Webster to establish regular steam
ship communication between European
ports and northwestern Siberia by way of
the Arctic ocean and Kara sea have been
disapproved by the Russian government.
obviously for the reason that this bold
undertaking, which appeared to be en-
tirely feasible, would have diverted con-
siderable traffic from the Transsiberian
railway. On the other hand, the Russian
authorities are furthering In every way
the establishment OF communication by
sea between Pacific ports and northwest
ern Siberia, via Bering strait. A survey
ing party under Capt. Grunfeld has pro-
ceeded from Yakutsk to Nishni Kolymsk
at the mouth Of the Kolyma river. to
make a thorough investigation OF that
port. and the 'geologist, ]. p. Tolmat-
schew, will study the conditions OF navf-
cation between the mouths OF the Koly-
ma and the Lena, including an examina-
ton Of the Lena delta, with view to es-
tablishing q sea route to the latter re-
gion. The icebreakers Taimyr and

this year reached It's high-water mark,

tee composed Of Mrs. Peter Goelet Ferry,

Second only in importance to the horse
show was the Grecian fete at the Building

hillside near the Building of Arts, with
this modern Greek temple in the back
ground, and the gauzy costumes OF the
dancers who appeared in profusion Of
colors, made 1t q veritable Greek day, and
carried the spectator back to the slopes
Of Parnassus. Mrs Hemmick scored a
marked success with her clever presenta-
tion and won much favorable comment.
There was a noteworthy company in the
boxes, while about a hundred of the best
known people OF the younger set of so
ciety took part In the performance. in

English View Of War of 1912.
ON the London Chronicle


Preparations already afoot to celebrate
the centenary Of Anglo-Saxon peace in
1915, writes Daily Chronicle correspond
ent. add interest to the circumstances
that the war whose termination will then
be commemorated began 100 years ago
today
In order to find crews for the great fleet
that was necessary for the checkmaung
of Napoleon, British captains were au-
thorized 10 search any American warship
or merchant vessel IL they suspected that
there were deserters on board. The
United States submitted to this indignity
for fourteen years. during which thou
sands of Americans were taken from
under their own fiag and forced to serve
in British ships: but war at last became
unavoidable, and was declared on June Is.
Probably most people in this country
remember the war only for the victory OF
the Shannon over the Chesapeake As
matter of fact. however. the Americans
had FIVE sound triumphs to their credit

the end Of 1912 we had lost the thirty.
eight gun frigates. Guerrero, Macedon an
and Java and the eighteen gun Frolic.
while early in 1913 the eighteen gun Pea.
cock fell an easy victim to the American
Hornet. Altogether there were fifteen OF
these single ship encounters. and the
British ship was beaten In ten OF them.
In every case save one. however. the
American vessel was superior in force.
The American navy at the outset of the
war comprised only sixteen vessels. while
Great Britain possessed over 600. The
war lasted over three years. and we lost
twenty-one ships before peace was pro-
claimed.
