FREAR'S MESSAGE
Will BREAK ALL
DISTANCE MARKS

With a final burst OF energy that
kept himself and two stenographers
busy from 9 o'clock Sunday morning
until / o'clock this morning Governor
Frear today finished his general mes
sage to the legislature and placed it in
the hands OF the printers. While its
character in detail will not be known
until the document is placed before
the lawmakers at noon on Wednesday,
enough has been learned of the sub
iect to warrant the hint that his
communication will prove one of the
most remarkable of its kind seen here
in many years.
For the last two or three months
this message has occupied the COVER
noF's attention during his spare mo-
ments since his return from the yaca-
ton trip to Midway Island 1t has been
continually before him, while during
the last week he has done virtually
no other work or thought of anything
but the message.
The result is voluminous compen-
dunn, covering several hundred type
written pages, with a survey Of such
breadth that practically every feature
of activity in the islands, conceived,
projected or historical has been men
toned.
Briefly, it is divided into fifteen
different topics, such as administra-
tive, financial, judicial, legislative.
Notwithstanding, ETC., with a host of sub
topics.

A fire Is burning in the hold of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation liner
Mauna Kea now at Hilo, caused by
the stacking of large shipment Of
Hawaiian lime.
At eight o'clock this morning the
situation remained unchanged accord
ing to a wireless message received
by President and General Manager
James A. Kennedy.
Between three and four hundred
barrels of the lime loaded aboard the
vessel at Honolulu caught fire late
Sunday night and despite the efforts
of the officers and crew, Is said to
have gained considerable Roadway.
The lime is stored IN the forward
hold of the Mauna Kea.
Orders were issued this morning for
the dispatch Of the steamer Kfla-
uea for Hilo, the vessel sailing for the
Hawaii port at noon today. The Kila-
uea will reach I4ilo at an early hour
tomorrow morning, and take all pas
sengers booked for Honolulu in the

rive here Tuesday afternoon In ample
time for transhipment Of passengers
and mails to the. MRtson Navigation

received here are extremely meagers
To cope with lime fire on board a
vessel is considered in shipping
circles most difficult operation.
Water or steam Is being used to fight
the fire now smdnldering below the,
matches in the Inter-lsland steamer.
1t is the intention to flood the for.
ward hold of the Mauna Kea with
water sufficient to speedily slack all
lime contained therein. To complete
the work may require considerable
time. The vessel is pronounced in no
immediate danger. the trouble being
confined entirely to the compartment
holding the lime.
The Mauna Kea was to have return
ed to Honolulu early tomorrow morn

lar ports of call on Maui and Hawaii

insurgents Start
Two Lively Fights

Two 'insurgent" movements in the
ranks of the Legislators gathering here
for the 1913 session developed over
Sunday in an unmistakable manner.
A fight is on against Eric Knudsen,
senator from Kauai, as president Of
the senate and another fight is on
against H. l. Holstein, representa-
tive from Hawaii, as speaker of the
house.
Senator Cecil Brown of Oahu is be.
ing put forward by some of his
friends for president of the senate,
and this morning several of these
friends expressed themselves as con-
fident of his success. George P.
Cooke, of Molokai, though usually
counted in with the Maui delegation
is the man spoken of as a possible
contestant for speaker of the house.
Though he may be given some strong
support, no certainty has been shown
that he can defeat the veteran Hol.
stein. 49,. s... -. -.
The insurgents" are busy as bees
today laying their lines for a com
bination of forces, and it is signifi-
cant that right at the start there is
evident a plan to swing the Demo
cratic members of the senate and
house in on some kind of an agree
ment that will insure the insurgent
movement going through. In fact,
with a split in Republican ranks over
these offices, the Democrats hold the
balance of power and their assist.
ance will be a big factor. -. +.
The Democrats realize their i'm
portance at this juncture, too, and
this morning a caucus of the Bour-
hons was held in Democratic head
quarters. While no definite state
ment of what the Democrats want can
be made until tonight's or tomorrow's
conferences are concluded, it is GER
tain that the minority party will ask
some fat committee assignments be-
fore it will enter into any agreement
10 trade its voting strength to one or
the other Republican faction. 1t is
said that the Democratic senators
will support Brown if the Bourbons
are assured of the craftsmanship of
the judiciary committee, the public
