50 or SO each, and the expert beekeep-
er always expects to pay for his colony
the first year, as it will yield him
about 80 pounds of honey. The anna
teur, of course, and even the average
tmall beekeeper Of some experience
will not generally do as WELL

BOND ISSUE MUST
Wait FOR COURT

That as a result of the water and
sewer bond election recount finished
today by David Kalauokalani, county
clerk, and A. NJ. Cristy, deputy city
attorney, the water bonds have an
even chance OF passing while the sew
er bonds nave less cGance are the con-
illusions drawn today by these men.
in any event the issue depends entire
~ on what decision the supreme court
hands down. ~ ..>~<....s. .
+ The law says, :tAll marks otherwise
made are forbidden and make the bal
lot void" and for bond issue to pass
1t must have so per cent of the
voters voting ..# i. ~.
The recount shows that the total
number of voters signing the roster
was 1884. On the water question the
vote was 1874 yes and 1855 no, and
on the sewers 1881 yes and 1923 no,
while the wrongly marked ballots, on
which the decision rests, are 273
water and 253 sewer. ...
The result of the recount will be
presented to the board of supervisors
and IL it approves, the matter will be
taken before the supreme court to
show that the wrongly marked ballots
should not be counted in the total ros-
ter, being void. In which case the
water bonds will carry but the sewer
bonds will not. For the latter to car.
.ry all rejected ballots, totaling 36u,
will have to be subtracted. ~. ...

pany to the harbor board protesting
against the removal OF the ships, fol
lows. Copies of this were sent to all
the shipping firms which might be
called on to tow the steamers out OF
the harbor:
"You are hereby notified that, in
the present condition of the vessel,
which is well known to you, such
removal to an anchorage outside the
harbor OF Honolulu would result in
jeopardizing the safety Of the vessel
and the lives of those on board.
You are hereby notified that said
steamship Pommern is OF German
ownership and registration. and Is at
present in the harbor of Honolulu
seeking refuge and asylum. by rea.
son of dangers of war now existing;
and that the proposed action of the
board of harbor commissioners to
remove such vessel to the anchorage
outside of such harbor Is wholly
illegal, unwarranted and void. and
contrary to the rights and privileges
of the, ewner of the vessel, and the
vessel. guaranteed by the United
States of America
"on behalf of the owner and mas
ter Of the vessel, and as agent of
the owner of the vessel, we hereby
object and protest against the re-
moval OF the said steamship Pom

harbor of Honolulu, and further no
tify you that II such vessel is so
removed. the owner of the vessel
and all persons who may be in any

exclaimed, that / do not know what

when. 1t is remarkable how quickly
and still how effectively the reyolu.

Away from his northern home since
last December he says there was little
indication then Of what occurred this
week, although there have always
been low rumblings of the masses. He
would not prophesy whether the revo-
lutionists' apparent success would be
permanent.
Il wish you would state through
your paper for me-" said the Count,
