STEAMING RECORD
IN SOUTH SEAS.

ing between Sydney, n. 5. w. and
Auckland, New Zealand, were smash
ed on the voyage now nearing compile
tion by the Canadian-Australasi lin
er Niagara, which reached berth at
Honolulu this morning under the COM
mand of Captain }. T. Rolls, former
master of the steamer Mariana.
The performance made by the Mia
CARA In crossing the stretch OF water
separating Australia and New Zea-
land Is looked upon as a signal victory
for the supremacy of oil over coal as
a fuel. The Niagara steamed from
Sydney shortly after the noon hour
on June 20 and made an exceedingly
fast run across to Auckland, the act
ual steaming time from pilot TO pilot
being two days % hours and "a min
utes. .
Officers in the Niagara stated this
morning that this constitutes record
for the passage. Proceeding with a
small list of through travellers, the
Niagara left Auckland on July and
made the anchorage at Suya on the
afternoon of July g.
The Niagara remained at the Fijian
port for sufficient time to load hoo
tons of sugar destined for the refin-.
cries at Vancouver.
Captain II. A. Morrisby, veteran
commander of the Niagara and COM
modore of the Canadian-Australasian
fleet, met with an unfortunate accf
dent while at Sydney that necessitated
his receiving treatment for an injured
eve. At the advice of his physician
Capt. Morrisby was induced to remain
behind for one round trip. Captain
Rolls OF the Mariana was transferred
10 the Niagara.
The present voyage OF the Niagara
was favored with pleasant weather
throughout.
The presence on board OF delega-
ton OF theatrical performers was an
incentive for the launching OF a series
OF entertainments and sport programs.
much TO the delight of the passengers.
Leaving the Niagara at Honolulu
were IL cabin, IA second-class and s.
steerage passengers.
Proceeding through to British Co
lumbia are 712 cabin. sc second-class
and 81 steerage travellers.
At the agency of T. II. Davies &
Company, about 60 passengers have
been booked for the Northwest in the
Niagara that has been placed on the
boards to sail at o'clock this even
ing. Included in the 2eO tons of gen.
eral cargo from Australia and New
Zealand for Honolulu is quantity OF
refrigerated meat.

Manoa Beat Former Records.

mdnOd BEAT FOTWGF nSCOEQSs
Completing a trip across the Pa
cific and establishing a record since
going into commission some months
ago, the new Matson steamer Manoa
from San Francisco reached the port
at 6 O'Clock last evening at least II
hours ahead of the regular schedule
set for the arrival of this vessel. Cap
tain Henry Weeden- stated that wind
and sea combined to assist the ManOa
in speeding to her destination. For
ty-two cabin passengers arrived in
this vessel. In addition to 1745 tons
of freight for Honolulu, the Manoa
brought 81 sacks of later mail. The
vessel will be dispatched for Kahului
where more than 200 tons of cargo
will be discharged. This vessel will
be supplied with a full cargo of sugar
before sailing for. San Francisco at 4
o'clock on the afternoon of July 81.
" -
British Shipbuilding Quiet.
An ordinary cargo steamer to carry
1900 tons dead weight on 24-foot
draught could be contracted for in
the United Kingdom today at $4,000,
and 1t is difficult to see where any
further reduction in the cost of
steamers in the near future is to
come from. The present position in
the British shipbuilding industry is
peculiar, as materials are low in price
while coal is dear and wages are very
high. The inference to- be drawn
from this is that except for the sake
of keeping their yards employed Brit
ish shipbuilders are not likely further
to reduce their prices.
-
Mauna Kea Met Better Weather.
Weather far more. favorable than
that met for some weeks fell to the
lot of the Inter-Island steamer Mauna
kea, an arrival from Hilo and the
way ports this morning. A larger
list of passengers than usual returned
to this city in this vessel. The freight
list as reported by Purser Phillips in
cluded shipments of native hardwood,
empty containers, vegetables and
poultry. The steamer passed the
Kaiulani off Wainaku, and the Mi
hau at Pepeekeo. The Mauna Kea is
scheduled to sail for the Big Island
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Sailing from Mahukona, Hawaii, on
last Wednesday, the bark r. F. Rith-
ct is reported to have been supplied
with about 10000 sacks of the product
before proceeding to the coast reffn-
cries. The Rithet brought general
cargo for Honolulu, afterwards being
towed to the big island sugar port by
the Mats0n steamer l4urline.

ANCIENT HIGH FINANCE.
Whan White Deerskins Passed a. Cur.
rency In China.

Whan White Deerskins Passed a. Cur.
rency In China.
In China. the 6rst country to use
banknOtes. certain skins were once Of
such great value that they were &C.
cepted as cash. passing from hand to
hand in the same way as banknOtes of
the present day. The negotiability Of
these skins was established In this way:
The Emperor Gu tt, being In want Of
money, gave his treasurer to under
stand that such state Of affairs must
not continue. At that time It was Gus
tomary for princes and cOurtiers on en-
tering the royal presence to cover their
faces with pieces Of skin. Taking ad-
vantage of this custom. the treasurer
procured the issuance Of decree for
bidding the use of any other skins for
this purpose save those Of certain spe-
cies Of white deer in the royal parks.
Immediately. Of course, there arose a
demand for pieces Of these skins.
which. being a monopoly. were sold at
a high price.
Thus were the royal Golfers refilled.
The steady value Of the skins thus OBJ
tanned made them readily a substitute
for coin Of the realm.
In the Russian seal fisheries of Alas.
ka the wOrkmen were formerly paid In
the currency stamped on squares Of
walrus hide.-WashingtOn Star.

HUG0'S WORKSHOP.
His Carpenters Bench and the Shaw.
inss That Fell From II.

A graphic description of visit to
Victor Hugo in Guernsey and Of his
quaint home there is given by the late
Sir William ButleS in his autobiogra-
ply:
"Of the many curious things to be
seen in Hauteville House the masters
sleeping room was the strangest. He
had 1t built on the roof between two
great blocks of chimneys. You as
cended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resembled a
ladder. Quite half Of the room was
glass. and the view from it was mag
nificent The isles Of Jethou and Sark
were in the middle distance. and be
yond lay many a mile Of the Norman
coast. Attorney lay to the north, and
beyond it one saw the glistening win
dows of the triple lighthouses on the
Casquet rocks and still more to the
right the high ridges overlooking Cher
bourg. The bed was small camp bed
stead, with table on one side Of 1t
and a small desk chest Of drawers on
the other. with pens, ink and paper al
ways within reach.
Near the bed stood a small stove.
which he lighted himself every morn
ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait. Then work began at the large
table which stood in the glass alcove q
few feet from the foot Of the bed
This work went on till it was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner In the
room used for that purpose on the
ground floor As the sheets Of writing
paper were finished they were number
ed and dropped on the floor to be pick
ed up. arranged and put away in the
drawer desk at the end Of the morn
ings labor He called the writing ia
bic his carpenters bench and the
leaves which fell from it his 'shavings'
1T was at this table and in this airy
attic that most of the great work of
his later life was done. Here were
written Les Miserables. Les Travail
leurs de la Mer and many volumes of
poetry"
