i "g 1m& , li SHIPPERS AND ills i- - SAN FRANCISCO, Pec 3. Gossip was life yesterday concerning tho forces back of tlio proposal of tho American-Hawaiia- Steamship Com- - 'pany to Incrcnso enstbound rules affect- ing California commodities, tho consen- sus of opinion being that tho ndvanco Js no less than n picco of strategy, and that the crcat railroad interests havo crushed tho precious independence of tho big ocoan freight line. Tho suggestion that tho Harrimnn In- terests havo purchased tho control, 'or any part of tho steamship company Is Jacking oll'ic al confirmation, but it Is belioved in moBt business circles that tho proposed increaso of rates is tho direct outgrowth of a tralllc agreement dictated by the transcontinental railroads. Uy what means tho llarriman interests havo succeeded in perfecting tho . suspected tralllc arrangement, under which tho American-Hawaiia- company will follow whatever advances of rates jro made by the transcontinental railroads, is something which nono can suggest, let alono oxplnln. But it is said thcro is the knowledge) that an officer of the Southern Pacific Company a month ago mndo tho statement that the Harrimnn railroads did domlnnto iho steamship line, and that its rates would bo raised. Tho rates will be raised, according to Allen M, Sutton, tho general freight agent of tho American-Hawaiia- n company. Tho rates, furthermore, will bo raised, it is said, about the day on which tho advanced tnriffs of tho transcontinental lines will go into effect. And, moreover, the rates, Sutton has admitted, will correspond in most par- ticulars to tho railroads' 10 per cent, horizontal increase, and as far as is now known, they will nffect only Cali- fornia and only California products. Significance in Admissions. These startling admissions, coming as a sequence to tho reported boast of a high Southern i'ncinc oiucer mat tno Harriman railroads had already provided for an Increaso of the rates of tho American-Hawaiia- n Steamship company are alivo with significance, say rhippcrs. "There is no question but that thcro las been n trallic agreement made," fays Joseph Durucy, n director of tho Merchants' Exchange. "I can see tho strength of tho interests in this proposed increaso of of rates of tho American-Hawaiia- company," says Albert Frank, vice president of tho big tanning firm of J3. II. Frank & Co. "Evidently the it ndvanco of rates was planned long ago and it is the purpose to exact a tax irom us in ono wny if not ia another." "Obviously tho railroads and tho steamship line have como together," ays George J. Bradley, manager of the California Traffic Association. Thcso opinions wore echoed through-nu- t business circles yesterday. And business men defy the steamship lino io offer a single logical reason for a voluntary advnnco of rates when tho maintenance of existing rates apparently is to its host interests. Numerous inquiries at business houses bailed to establish that tho steamship company had notified its patrons of tho proposed Increase. For fully a month some havo awaited such advices, as it had been expected that increases would be mado of rates on specific commodities. Increases Indicated. Two weeks ngo it was learned that the rate on leathor would bo slightly increased. It wns learned nlso that canned fruits would bo required to licar an advance of about 5 cents a hundred pounds. All efforts to estab lish olhciully tho character and extent of the ndvances were met with tho (tatemcnt that the contemplated tariffs bad not been received from New York. There wns no intimation by the officers of the steamship company that a horizontal increase of rates wns but, to tho contrary, the impression was created that ono or two changes would bo made in order to placo trnllie on n strictly profitable liasis. It was explained that the .American-llnwniia- Company bad not leen in business for n great poriod of time and, consequently, adjustments of rates wero constantly being made. Shippers wero assured that thoy would lie advised of contemplated increases of tho rates on their specific commodities. In view of theso statements and the apparently considerate nttitudo qf tho uteatiisliip company, no one imagined that a horizontal increaso of rates would be made, corresponding to what ever advances wero decided upon by the transcontinental railroads. Naturally, the announcement In yes- tcrdny's Chronicle of n general increaso of rates to meet tho threatened tariffs of tho transcontinental lines, was a positive sensation In tho business world. General Freight Agent Allen M. Sut- ton, when asked by a shipper whether the report of tho proposed ndvanco was correct, replied in effect: "I did not hay what tho Chroniclo said I a!d." Notwithstanding, ho admitted that the increaso 'would bo made, sue- - Besting thnt westbound rates would bo .advanced first. Ho did not deny that rastlmuiid rates would bo increased, nor did ho descant lit length when nsked whether shippers were expected io niisnru me nuvnnce on commodities which have already been quoted under existing tariffs. Argument of Shippers. Shippers are ready to meet whatovor Arguments may be offered by tho steamship company in refutation of tho ostensible trallic agreement with tho transcontinental railroads. One says that according to the American-Hawaiia- n Cnmnnny, Its steamers are now carrying 7G per cent, cargoes. With tho increased differential created by the advance of rail rates, argues this man, the steamers might easily carry full cargoes. Moreovor, ho says, if the steamship comnanv would avoid making an increaso of its rates, there would bo no limit to tho development of its business. In a year or two tho rpormously enlarged tonnage would reniiiro many additional steamers. 'It seems nbsurd," said be, "to PUBLIC LIDS AID if IHE A.-- H. LINE PLAGUE P iProm Wednesday's Advertiser.) Governor Frenr seems to be nt work in Washington in an effort cither to havo tho Territory reimbursed for some of its expenditures In protecting tho Pacific Coast from plnguo and other diseases from tho Orient, Or elo to have it rolloved from tho bur- den of such expenditures in tho fu- ture. Acting Governor Jfott-Smlt- re ceived tho following cablegram from him early yesterday morning: "Washington, D. 0., December 15. "Mail Land Commission report to Senator Forakcr nnd Representative Hamilton. "Cable npproxlmato nmounts paid by merchants nnd Territory in re in- fections diseases other than leprosy sinco 1000. "Perhaps go New York Thursday. "FREAR." Senator Forakcr is chairman of tho Senate Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Hico, and Representative Hamilton is chairman oi tlio Jlouso Committee on Territories. It is thcso committees which will consider tho amendments to the Organic Act which tho Governor has drafted. What thcso amendments nrc no ono h'oro knows, except in tho ngue way that they aro drawn for tho pnrposo of permitting tins Legislature to amend our public land laws. They wero drafted by Gov- ernor I'rear on his way to tlio Const. Xo copies of tho drafts in their final shape have been received here, so far as known. As to tho matter of infectious dis eases, whenever any of the Pacific Coast cities havo had cases of plaguo tho Federal authorities havo taken hold, spent Federal money, and lots of it, nad given tho cities an entiro cleaning up. Dr. Cofer was Bont from hero to Seattle to take charge of tho work there, and thousands of dollars of United States money was spent in tho work. But when the same thing has hnnnoncd here, the Territory has been left to put up the funds itBelf with which to make the fight. At the same timo it is universally admitted that this is an outpost that is of great scr-vic- o In protecting tho Coast cities. Acting Governor Mott-Smit- tho belief thnt tho Governor is peeking Federal aid in this very im- portant matter of fighting infectious and quarnntinnblo diseases. The Mer- chants' Association and tho Chamber Commcrco will be communicated with to furnish the information de- sired. From the last sentence of the cable is thought that the. Governor means ho will start for home by way of Now York nnd in that case will arrivo hero December 28. & J J .4 k J it J v 0 J v"J v Ji suggest thnt tlits is a voluntnry ad- - vnnce of rates. Ordinarily, ideas of business would encourago tho company to follow the lend of tue railroads and to cet all the commodities would bear. Hut in this instance tho circumstances nrc entirely different. Tho steamers nrc not carrying full cargoes. That is a met with winch overy business' man hero is inmilinr. And in following tho advances of tlio rnilronds, tho com pnny will occupy relatively tho same jKisltlon it does now. When tho now rates go into effect, it will carry what it is carrying now whatever is left by tho railroads. And the steamers will continue to load but 75 per cent, cargoes. It, to me, is perfectly ob- vious that tho American-Hawaiia- Compnnv has been forced into this ndvanco of rates." Tho almost nervous interest in tho conduct of the American-Hawaiia- Comnanv is due larecly to the fact that in its few years of existence it has proved n wonderful factor in West- ern commerce. Tho company begnn somewhat modestly with a small fleet of vessels. Its growth was prodigious, however, and within n few years it has acquired an immenso fleet of steamships, ranging in tonnage from tho Xovadan. C00O, to the Alnskan, 12,000. In 100" it added to the fleet tho Maine nnd Missouri, two 11,000-to- n vessels, which wero purchased from the Atlantic Transportation Com- pany. At tho time of this purchase thre'o steamers wero building, tlio Mex- ican, Columbian and Isthmian, Theso have now been added to tlio fleet, which has nn aggregate tonnago of moro tlmn 100,000. Tho Tehuantepec Route. XiiiBt year the company performed tho well-nig- marvelous feat of con- voying freight from San Francisco via Tehuantepec to Now York in less tlmo than tho shipments could bo mado by rail. With such execlleut scrvlco and such ndequato facilities for handling trnllie, tho company soon mado its in fluence felt by tho railroads, especial ly y wio rines which uomiunie mo Western country. By the perfection of its Tebuante- - pec route it was cnnbled to develop an enormous commerce, which took millions of dollnrs from tho transcontinental lines. A triangular eorvico was maintained from Snlinn Cruz, the Hawaiian Islands nnd Pacific Const ports. Tn addition n fleet was kept in the Atlantic to carry freight from Continroalcos, the Gulf terminus of the Tehuantepec JJntjonnl Railroad, to New York nnd othor imrts on tho At lantic seaboard. A fabulous income wns derived from sugar movements from the Islands nnd a splendid o wns given the company in east- - bound and west-boun- shipments of treignt irom tho racllic to tue Atlan- tic nnd vice versa. Consequently, tho company becamo distinguished ns nn independent factor In tho development of tho West. Shippers have regarded the threatened ndvnneo of roll Tates as Its greatest opportunity for growth and profit and tho security of its independence. For these and other reasons they seem un- able to fathom a voluntary increase of rates by tho company nnd givo to alarm nnd apprehension.

Frederick Starr, professor of ' anthropology at tho University of Chicago, at a church lecture last night on tho Philippines, said: "In nil tho islands there is not a tribo that is not capable, of self-go- ernment.

MS FEI A local navnl officer, in going over tho statistics of the American navy, has found some interesting data on the nationality of tho bluejackets and ma- rines. A book on naval matters writ- ten by a French officer, which he has been reading, throws a striking comparative statement in contrast with tho present figures. The French writer, in referring to the beginning of tho Span- ish war in 180S, quotes tho Spanish Minister of Marine ns saying, in a communication to Admiral Cervera, that ho had nothing to fear from tho American fleet ns its sailors wero largely mer- cenaries and drafted from all nations of tho globe, intimating that the native-born Americans wero in the mi- - nority. That was true to somo extent then. Tho nniual report of Rear-Adinir- Pillsbury, Chief of tho Bureau of Navi- - gation, shows that tho Americnn navy now has a total of ove 39,000 men, 95 per eont. of whom nro citizons of the United States.

SILIA DIVORCE CASE (From Wednesday Advertiser.) After a hotly contested trial, lasting threo days, Judgd Do Bolt rendered a decision nt 7:30 last night, sustaining Mrs. Caroline 3Iundon's petition to nmond tho decree rendered by Judge Lindsay, last May, divorcing her Pnt Silva, on the grounds of extreme cruelty. By Judgo Lindsay's decree, Mrs. Silva, who has sinco mnrricd Her- bert Mundon, was awarded tho custody of tho four Silva children, giving Silva tho right, howovcr, to visit tho children at all reasonable times. Silva 's con- struction of tho term "'rcas&nnblo times." led him. It was aliened, to in- - vado the Mundon household, at hours in the ovening after tho children wero asleep, and while Mrs. Mundon wns out. On ono occasion, on Sunday, af- - tcr Mrs. Mundon had refused to send tho children to him, on account, as sho snid of tho inclemency of tho weather, Silva entered tho house of Mrs. Mun- - don, going into tho dining-roo- whero sho was entertaining some friends, and filling tho nir with "strnngo oaths," murelicd out with tho youngest child in his arms, lending nnother of tho chll- - drcn by tho hand. Mrs. Mundon 's petition, just decided in her favor, sought to have the decree fix with precision 'the timos at which Silvn should bo nllowed to soo tho chil- - drcn, so thnt sho would not bo at tho mercy of his interpretation of tho phraso "reasonable times."

Mrs. Joseph O, Cnrtcr died suddenly yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock nt tho family residence, Nuuanu avenue, or ,hcart disease. Sho had been ailing for several months, nnd though her death at almost any tlmo was not al- together unexpected, It came ilnnlly quite suddenly. Mrs. Carter was formerly Morv Eliza-bot- h Ladd. Her father was William Lndd, whoso enterprise, as a merchant in early Honolulu days has given him n permnnent placo in tho history of inoso jsianas. As early as 1835 Ladd & Co. secured land at Koloa Kauai, and established what is now Kolnn plantation. Mrs. Carter was born in Honolulu, nnd this was her homo throughout her wnoio inc. Bho was born Juno 8. , and was married to Joseph O. Carter November 28, 1859. With her husband she. has been prominent in tho community throughout the years since then. She was a member of Central Union church and was a wife and mother. Besides her husband, six children survive her Charlotte A., Mary N. and Rachacl A. Carter, Sarah C. Bab- bitt, wife of W. n. Babbitt; J. O. Carter, Jr., and Cushman Carter. Mrs. Carter had long survived her own brother and sisters. Tho funeral services will be held from the residence this afternoon nt 3 o'clock. The funeral will not bo private, as has been Btated, Rev, H. II. Tarkcr will officiate, assisted by Rev. Henry Judd. The interment will bo in tho Carter plot in Nuuanu cemetery. The s selected had not all been communicated with last ovening, so that tho list is not given. Mrs. Carter was for many years, before, during and after her reign, ono of tho most intimate friends of Queen Liliuokalani. ... 1 HTXNDEEDS OF HONOLULU READ- ERS FIND IT SO. Tho hustlo and worry of business men, Tho hard work and stooping of work- men, Tho woman's household cares, Are too great a strain on the kidneys. Backache, headache, sideache, Kidney troubles, urinary troubles follow. A Honolulu citizen tells you how to cure them all. Cyrus S. Edison, of Kapiolanl Park, Honolulu, Hawaii, says: "I camo to this place fifteen years ago from tho United States, where I was employed as a stage driver. This work obliged me to be out in nil kinds of weather, nnd my kidneys becamo disordered. I used any number of remedies, but had almost given up hopo of evor being cured, ns nothing seemed to have any effect on my trouble. When I heard about Doan's Backacho Kidney Pills, I got a box at the Hollistcr Drug Co. They relieved me promptly, and in re- turn I heartily recommend them." Doan's Backacho Kidney Pills aro Bold by all druggists and storekeepers at CO cents per box (six boxes $2.50), or will bo mailed on receipt of price by tho Hollister Drug Co., Honolulu, wholesalo agents for the Hawaiian Islands. Remember the name, Donn's, and tako no substitute. f PROPOSED 01 JABRETT Ono of tho radical departures proposed by Sheriff Jarrett when ho assumes chargo of the polico department next month is tho establishment of a bicyclo corps of plain clothes men for tho residence districts. Their duty will bo to patrol tho districts of Makiki, Manoa, Waikiki, Kalilii, Nuuanu, so that tho outlying Territory will nt all times havo somo ono connected with the polico department, keeping an oye on prowlers, and suspicious characters. Another change will bo to havo each watch of the foot polico ontlrely sepa- rate from tho other two. Eight-hou- r watches will bo maintained, but in fu- ture each watch will havo its own patrol-wago- n driver, turnkey and receiving clork. There will bo no over lapping of ono watch into another. At present the patrol-wago- drivers two of them havo twelve-hou- r watches. In futuro there will bo throe. It is likely that during tho next administration an effort will bo mado to secure an auto-mobil- o patrol wagon, which can mako quick runs on all occasions. At present it is necessary to save tho horses as much as possible on ordinary runs, as thero is no knowing whether tho next run may not requiro tho fastest kind of speed. It is said that tlio now Sheriff hopes 'to establish a secret service bureau in which will bo a couple of mon who will not roport at tho station, and whose identities will be secret. Tho now Sheriff does not bellove In drilling the men, but is of tho opinion that instructing tneni in tno way io handle prisoners will bo better. The dotPctivo bureau may bo placed In tho second storv of tho polico sta tion, over tho Btnble, and a central phono system installed. Bill to Foreclose. Carlos A.

V AWAKES WHEN BURGLAR ATTEMPTS TO STRANGLE HER (From Thursday's With long fingers clutching her throat Madame Lambert, a dressmaker, awoko shortly after K o'clock yesterday morning to find herself In tho clutchc.i of an intruder In her cottago on Iiichaids Btreot adjoining tho ofllco bungalow of , Dr. Murray. She fought him off and ho got away. Madamo Lambert has had foreknowl- edge of efforts to unlawfully enter her cottago, for a couplo of weeks ago a box was found beneath ono of tho windows and traces were left of an attempt to break in. Tho knowledgo of this attempt alarmcdthe woman and sho has been on her guard since. Thero arc roomers in her house nnd only ono was homo on tho night of bar adventure. During the evening sho had been absent from tho cottago. On TO' turning and preparing to rotiro sho no- - ticed that tho hook attached to the in- - side of tho French shutter doors had been bent and after working somctlmo over it sho abandoned tho task, and the door was thorcforo not lockod when sho retired. In tho light of sufbseqnent events tho midnight visitor is believed to have watched tho cottago and when sho went out, entered and bent the hook so that it could not easily be used for latching tho door. Having a fear that efforts to enter her cottago might be renewed, Madamo Lambert kept her dog in her bedroom when she retired. Tho dog, however, awakened her several times by contin- uously scratching, and finally about 1 a. m. Bhe aroso and put him in an ad joining 100m and roturning to her own room, went to slocp. She awoko with 0 start. A hand was lying on her faco and ns sho started, 'frightened, fingers closed around her neck and a voice enmo out of the darkness: "Snutupl" Sho struggled, however, and tho fingers closed tighter and tighter around her neck. But sho managed to get into tho middlo of tho room all tho time fighting her assailant. In tho dim light of a street lamp, she could not plainly sec. tho man who held her.

This year it is of tha greatest importance that tho work of tho county bo to elaborate figures because of the requirements of tho municipal law, whiVh 'makes it obligatory on the county fathers to appropriate for uses In a way quito different to that hitherto in use. Tho municipal law follows eomowhat along the lines of the procedure in tho Leg- islature, where the estimates for the different departments are mado in for a stated period and the ap- propriations mado accordingly. It may be that tho one who drafted, tho municipal act followed ono drafted for a municipality whero tho tax rate was based on tho estimates, instead of as hero, where tho estimates have to bo based on the amount of taxes, but such it is. On this account, therefore, all ap- propriations having to bo mado by or- dinance or resolution and advertised, the now members of tho board will linvo to know pretty well what is necessary in tho way of work and what tho approximate cost is going to be. Tho necessary work they will havo to learn for themsolvea: the approximate costs of various works done aro being now figured down to a lino point to civc the mombers something to go' by. Most of tho compilations are being done in the ofllco of tho County ,CIerk, although the County Engineer and the Head Supervisor will havo elaborate etntistical reports to make by January 1. until tho inner omciaiB nro niso cleaning up all thoir work in hand In order to havo thoir house in order to turn over to their successors, if thoro aro to bo such.

Madame Lambert was terribly frigh tencd. Sho called out for help, and ldter on sent for the police. An officer arrived about 4-- o 'clock, hoard her story and returned to tho station. At 7:30 sho wont to tho police station in person to see tho Chief of Detectives, but was told ho would not bo around until considerably later. Sho could not wait bo long. Owing to court business tho chief was unablo to attend personally to tho case, but during tho forenoon a detective was detailed but got no clue. Fr,om Madame Lambert 'ho learned that on Monday a man In soldier uni- form was loitering about tho placo and was thero lato at night. lie learned also that tho olectric liffht oa tho porch which Madamo Lambert keeps 'lightod during tho night time, had been turned out by tho intruder, which was a reason why sho could not got a good look at the fellow. Outsido tho window were two boxes, ono on top of tho other. The man could havo entered through the window, or by tho door,' as tho latter was unlatched. The madame says that had she a better opportunity sho would have held her assailant, but sho was at a disadvantage' from the beginning of the struggle. 8ho wore a handkerchief about her throat yesterday.

Atkinson, who owns several yster beds in tho Pearl Harbor lochs, Is to experiment with tho bivalves to learn If somo commercial use can not bo mado of the shells. The pearl Hnr bor oyster, which only comes up through tho mud at certain periods of the year, boasts of a shell which carries a mother rl lining of particularly beautiful sheen, nnd it is Mr. Atkinson's idea to see if there is not a market for this waro. Heretofore tho niollusk which' has given a name to what is going to bo tho greatest naval harbor in tho world has been a mythical creature so far as tho majority of peoplo aro concerned, although ilio Ilawniians living about tho lochs havo luaued considerably dur ing tho months with R's in them ovor since the early missionaries translated that vorso into Hnwaiian which has to do with pearls and swine. Now, Mr. At kinson will find a uso for that part of tho oyster which has survived tho luau. Tho Pearl Harbor oyster shell mother' rl is to be had in considerably larger pieces than that found in tho s'holls of tho farther south, where tho mother-of-pea- is divorced for com mcrcial uses. It has, also, a luster and coloring higher than tho ordinary, and tho Idea is to Bee if n market prlco can not bo had for it high enough to mnko oyster fishing profitable. The Promotion Committee aro sending away a sample lot of shells to Eastern jewel crs and other users of mother-of-pea- to secure their opinion on the quality of tho Hawaiian product. There Is a chance of finding pcnrlB also, Mrs.' Johnson, a Hawaiian, got thrco fino specimens from Pearl Harbor oysters a few months ago. M'BRIDE WANTS THE PRICE TO COME HOME Cladlus H.

JOSSELYN WEATHER BUREAU OBSERVERS Six thousand ship captains comprise a list of wandering correspondents of tho United States s cither Bureau, who fllo reports of their daily observations of tho weather taken during voyages from ono port to tho next. Whon Cap- tain Josselyn of tho bark Nuuanu arrived last Monday from Now York, via Capo Horn, ono of his first missions nshOTO was to visit tho local weather bureau in charge of Mr. Stockman nnd loavo with him a small pamphlot filled with valuable data of tho voyage. The thousands upon thousands of similar reports fllod at tho various weather bureau stations are forwarded to Washington, whero n corps of stat isticians enter tho data In reports. Aftor a few years of such entries a general nvorage Is Btruck, bo that tho gonoral weather conditions In this or that part of tho world at sea can bo sized up and tho mariner can judgo that when he visits certain parts of tho globo ho may expect in such and such a month cer tain weather features and prepare to meet them. Tho United States Weather Bureau supplies masters of vessels of evory nationality with Its blank forms, on which to record a single set of weather observations onco a. day. Tho bureau admits that it has reached Its present state of usefulness largoly through tho intelligent aid of Its voluntary observ crs. The bureau impresses upon ship roasters tho necessity of having all observations taken simultaneously and that the position of the ship nt tho actual time of observation should bo re corded. Tho time set for simultaneous observation is Grconwicb mean noon. Tho local time of observation corresponding to Greenwich noon depends upon tho observer's longitude. For ex- - amplo, a vossol In longitude GO west, or four hours in time west of Greenwich, should observo nt 8 a. m. local "time, and the ship's latitude and longitude at 8 a, m. local time is tho position tho bureau desires tho master to be record- ed in, in this case. When theso reports aro received nt WnBhlngton tho observations nro plotted on daily synoptic charts, which exhibit tho conditions of tho weathor over the entire ocean at Greenwich mean noon of each day. By tho study of theso charts tho comparative changes aro ascertained, and tbo prac HISTORIC JEWELS CO UNDER THE HAMMER Buyers and interested- spectators to tho number of ovor two hundred nnd fifty nttended tho auction salo of historic jowelry held in tho Knplolnni Estato building yestorday morning, tho jowelry being a portion of that belong- ing to tho Into Prince David and con- sisting of the many pieces bequeathed to tho lato Princo by King Knlaknua.
