DEMOCRATS IS
TONIC

There is decidedly new spirit Of
optimism noticeable in the stock mar
ket now. The runner that four sena,
tors were ready to bolt, leaving the
Democratic ranks in order to vote
against the free sugar schedule In the
Wilson Underwood tariff bill; is in part
responsible for the brighter feeling
among the sugar men here. And
though. the man reported to have re.
ceiyed the message has denied its re-
ceipt, the growing confidence that the
senate will vote down the free sugar
clause and leave the tariff on the prod
uct as it is today, continues to spread.
With only one more senator needed
to defeat the bill, and number said to
be on the brink of boiling, unequivocal
opinions are being expressed here that
President Wilson's championed bill
will not succeed. The gloom which
settled about the stock market only a
few days ago, when it seemed certain
that the measure would pass the sen
ate with only trifiing amendments,
has almost entirely disappeared to
give place to the brighter prospects OF
the bill being blocked.
While the business men here are
figuratively holding their breath, wait
ing for word from Washington as to
the final outcome of the fight, the men
who are at the capital to oppose the
Underwood measure are using every
means to bring to the realization of
the legislators the enorrnity of an act
which would take the tariff off sugar.

America is concerned.

her 623 passengers in the several
classes, catching their first glimpse
OF the green clad hills of Oahu.
CAPTAIN John Glib, the veteran
commodore Of the Canadian-Australa-
sian line, a. familiar figure in Homo
lula shipping circles, received royal
welcome from host of friends and
wei lWishers, with the arrival OF his
handsome new command.
A. Delightful Voyage
The fates were kind to the Niagara
on the voyage from the Antipodes.
With the exception of the first day
out from Auckland, the weather was
pleasant, and this meant much to the
host of travellers, who soon got to-
gether in a series of deck sports and
entertainments.
The delay in the arrival OF the
great ship is attributed to the coal
ing at Auckland.
The approach at Alakea wharf was
the signal for great outpouring OF
tewnspeople Thousands gathered at
the waterside as the new leyiathan
slowly steamed to heT berth.
The, outward appearance of the YES
sci gives the impression OF great
bulk-her length is not apparently so
proportionately large. She stands
well out of the water, and her mag
nificent promenade decks are the
feature of the vessels build.
On the voyage out from London the
Niagara burned coal. and her engines
proved extremely powerful. In fact,
her officers state that on the run
across from Sydney, some hours could
have easily been saved had it been
necessary AS matter of fact. speed
had to be slightly reduced, so that the
timetable arrangements could be adj
hered to. The Niagara burned coal
until she reached Honolulu. where
her oil tanks will be filled, and
thence-forward she will use oil fuel
Honolulu Supplies Fuel OIL
Nearly two Thousand barrels OF fuel
oil are being pumped into the storage
tanks in the liner today. At least two
boilers will be fired by fuel oil on the
remainder of the voyage to British
Columbia. The vessel is easily the
largest craft flying a British flag to
have entered this port as a passen'
ger and freight carrier.
The appointments of the new liner
are on scale which has never been
approached on passenger-ships in the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES service. The
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-05-21

cabins in all classes are ro0my and
beautifully furnished, with every pos
sible luxury provided. Her decks are
connected by an electric elevator,
which, the passengers on the voyage
state, is great convenience, especial
ly in rough weather. The first-ciass
dining-saloon is a fine room. running
from side to side of the vessel, with
an excellent arrangement Of small
tables seating four, thus eliminating
the familiar long tables which have
been customary In even the more
modern vessels. A library and writ
ing-room, and spacious MUSHROOM.
both furnished in fine taste, are also
features of the accommodation.
Niagara Carries Big official
Family.
Federal quarantine officers were
called to pass upon go officers and
crew in the big Niagara. Some de-
lay was occasioned at quarantine 0w-
ing to but one medical officer visiting
this steamer. The muster of pas
sengers was D slow job and it was
well along toward nine O'Clock before
the yellow flag of quarantine was
lowered and the liner began the
journey to a position within the har-
Dor limits.
Al very complete description Of the
Niagara was set forth in the columns
of the Star-Bulletin yesterday after
noon Much interest has been 0c-
casioned locally over the general
equipment found on board Hundreds
awaited themselves of the opportunity
to give close inspection of the yes
sci.
The propelling machinery, COM
bination of reciprocating engines with
Parsons low-pressure turbine, Is one
OF the latest examples of progress in
marine engineering, that has been
constructed by the builders. The SUI
perior economy of the system is due
to the fact that Increased power is
obtained with the same steam con-
sumption by expanding the steam in
the low-pressure turbine beyond the
limits possible with the reciprocating
engine. Steam is supplied by ten
Cylindrical boilers, each fitted with
four furnaces, and working under
Howden's system of forced. draught,
the boiler pressure being 220 pounds.
A new feature is that this is the
first vessel burning oil-fuel to have a
British Board of Trade certificate for
carrying passengers. For the purpose
of carrying this fuel, the ship has
specially constructed bunkers of
ample capacity to carry sufficient oil
for the return journey, and also TO
carry coal should this be found neces-
sary. The whole of Sthe bunkers,
