The unprotected condition of tho
shipping in the harbor from fire was
illustrated last night by tho fire on the
schooner Eclipse which, although It
was discovered In time, might have
been very serious.
This morning, Messrs, E. Faxon
Bishop, r. W. Klebahn, John S. Walk
or and several other gentlemen Inter
ested In Insurance, wcro Invited to be
present at tho fire drill held aboard tho
tug Fearless. They were given nn
object lesson In what the tug can do
as a flro department.
The nlarm was given and. In less
than two minutes, the big tug had sit
powerful streams of water playing In
nil directions.. Her pumps were work
ed to their fullest capacity and, had
tho water not been diverted, the sheds
on tho Pacific Mall wharf would have
been torn down. As It was, tho wharf
received n very thorough cleaning.
Somo of the streams were thrown n
distance of 200 feet, s an agent for
the quenching of fire, those present
voted tho Spreckels tug n great suc
cess and It Is probablo that. In view
ot tho fact that nothing has been done
by the Leglslatme looking to the pro
tectlon of the harbor nnd shipping
from fire, tho insurance companies
will make somo arrangement with the
eFnrless to look out tor things in fu
ture. Francis Murphy Hall

SHIPS OF HAWAII
IN BIG COMBINE
There has lately been affected In San
Francisco, the amalgamation of the
shipping Interests of 'tho firms of
Welch & Co., C. Brewer & Co., and Cas
tlo & Cooko. The new compai.v is to
have, a fully paid up capital ot $u,000,-
000 and will take In thirteen ships of
tho firms named which aro engnged In
the Hawaiian trade.
For several years tho action lately
tnken has been under way ns it was
considered to the mutual benefit of tbn
ships and their owners that a single
management would be of great advan
tage. Under the new arrangement,
tho operating expenses nnd earnings of
tho licet will bo pooled nnd the net
earnings divided among tho share
holders of the corporation, who con
slsfot tho original owners in tho veil
sets taken Into tho combination.
Gcorgo II. Robertson, manager of C
Brewer & Co., said this morning: "Tho

There was some talk among tho
Home Rulers of prolonging the session
If posslblo until Beckley's return.
Whether this will bo dono or not Is
not known. Prendergast was appoint

GOVERNOR'S-
MESSAGE
To the Legislature of tho Territory of
Hawaii:
Tho Legislature, nt its regular sos
blou, having failed to pasjs appropria
tion hills providing for payments of tho
necessary current expenses of carry
ing on tho government, mid meeting
Its legal obligations ns tho same aro
provided for by tho existing laws, It be
came my duty to call an extra session
cf tho Leglslaturo for tho consideration
of tho nppioprlntlon bill.
I herewith submit the estimates for
appropriations for tho succeeding bi
ennial period previously presented to
tho Leglslaturo at Its regular fccsslon,
subject, however, to tho following
i,
blnntlon art? the new tchooner W.H

Fort George, Mohican, Martha Davis,
IlRwalian Islts, .St. Katherlne, Gerard
C. Tobcy, Tllllo E. Starbuck, George
Curtis and Archer.. In these vessels,
i there have been heretofore a great
many Individual owners nnd they,hne
nearly all decided to put their shares
in the different shins Into tho new ror-
' poratlon. ItU to the advantage of itv-
Individual owner to do so ns. In tho
marine Insurcvice alone, he makes a
Ei eat saving In a year. On the other
hand. If a vessel belonging to the cor
poration Is lost, the lo.;s Is not felt so
much ns If the vessel were owned by a
fow. The cpmpanv '.ltivlng other tea
sels does not fee'- Its loss so greatly as
n few owners.
"Tho combination was not formed
primarily with the tnfntlon of buck
lng tho now steamer line but for the
mutual benefit nnd protection of thp
ships nnd tr-Mr owners. Under one
management, tho veirels will be better
handled and give better results to all
concerned."

OF id
CONFERENCE WAS HELD
WITH BOSSES YESTERDAY
Employers Offer Important Conces
sions.But the Men Say They
'i
Won't Work With Non
Union Men.
There was a conference yesterday be
tween a committee from the stilklng
machinists and President Swnnzy and
Superintendent Dyer of the Honolulu
Iron Works. It was hoped by both
tides that this conference would settlo
all differences and that the Idle men
would go back to work and that ac
cumulated orders awaiting attention
could bo rushed out.
At tho cloao of the conferenco the
parties wero nearer together than at
any preIous time but wcro nt a con
siderable distance from n settlement.
Tho officers of tho company wero will
ing to concede tho demands mado by
the strikers relative to the employ
ment of apprentices. They even went
so far ns to say It did not matter to
them If they had no apprentices In the
shop nt all. Other minor demands
were ncceded to and It was frnnkly
rlated that there was work at the shops
for tho Idle men to Jo and the man
ngers would be glad if they would do
It.
Tho strikers wero willing to ndmlt
that they wanted to work and seemed
to appreciate tho spirit In which their
old employers wero willing to niako
concessions. But they refused to go to
work unless tho non-union men, now
nt work aro displaced.
This Is as great n difference ns the
ones thnt at first caused Iho split. The
position ot tho company on this de-
nnnd as stated by President Sivanzy Is:
'We havo never broken faith with any
man and can not begin now. Wo have
brought theso men here nnd have no
right to throw them out ns long as
they faithfully discharge their duties."
Ono ot the striking machinists dat
ed to a Bulletin reporter: "Union men
never work along sldo of non-union
men."
It Is therefore clear that tho differ
ences have narrowed down to the old
ono of a union endeavoring to dictate
whom shall havo employment.

Just before tho departure of tho
Mariposa yesterday, both oDlegate Wil
cox and Representative Bcckley. the,
two Independents who nro on their way
to sec President McKlnley. were seen
by a Bulletin reporter nnd questioned
ns to what it Is their exact Intention tu
do.
Mr. Wilcox said: "We have rome to
the conclusion that It would bo tolly
for us to present any resolution, peti
tion or other business cf a like ni'i.ta
to President McKlnley In San Francis
co.. The President would hardly con-.
slder any matter ot tho kind for he 1.1
oft' on n pleasure trip, pure nnd sim
ple, and his business o!!lco Is In Wash
ington, D. C. We have decided, theio
fore, to change our first Intention and
present the memorial to the Presl lent
against Governor Dole, at the propel
time ami place."
Mr. Hockley said: "I am going to
San Francisco simply to extend to
President McKlnley the most cordial
aloha 'of the people of this .Teriltor.v
nnd to Invito blm to cxtend'hls trip to
Hawaii nel, 1 am going as a commis
sioner of tbo people and In no other
capacity.. It Is not mv Intention lu go
to Washington and neither Is' It my
intention to havo nn thing to do with
the concurrent resolution of the Sen
ato nnd House looking toward the re
moval ot Santord I). Polo as Governor
of the Territory of Hawaii. Tho reso
lution has been placed In tbo hnmU.nt
Mr. Wilcox nnd ho will present if to
President McKlnley at Washington.
In speaking of his trip to the Main
land. Mr. Wilcox said h" did not know
Just when ho would return. Perhaps
It would be In a few weeks. It all de
pends on whnt ho will find Is belngi
done when ho arrives In Washington.
With reference to the trip of Mr.
Bcckley, It might bo Btnted thnt It was
tho intention of Mr. Kmmeluth of tho
Houso to mako tho resolution' author
Izlng the sending forth of Mr. Bcckley,
a concurrent resolution. The document
had been prepared nnd it was the In
tention to adopt It and send It up to
tho Senate but the latter body ndjourn
ed before the resolutjon was even In
troduced In the Houso. This mado the
whole thing very nwkward but the
Houso passed the resolution as Its own
