AKGLO-CALIFORNlA HANK OP SAN FRANCISCO SAID TO UK SECUR-

' .TIONAL HANK-PRESIDENT BROWN SAYS THERE HAS HERN NO
SALE AS YET.
(The Anglo-Cnilfornia bank of San
Francisco, which .was trying a couple of
years ago to buy a controlling Interest
In the 'First National 'Hank of Hawaii,
is reported to have resumed negotia
tions, with the result that It Is likely
teoon to assume control of the Institu
tion. It was reported 'today that a
sale had bden accomplished, of the
stock held 'by President Cecil Brown,
Mark P. Robinson and other. Presi
dent Brown this afternoon denied the
report that there had been such a sale.
The "president of the bank stated,
however, that there might .have been
further overtures, but did ndt give any
information as to what was being done
In the matter.
There was quite a contest over the
matter the lust time the San Francisco
Institution attempted to get control.
The matter was carried Into the courts,
on a claim that President Brown hud
not acted legally at an annual meeting
at which he was re-elected president
and which the Anglo-California, people
failed to get control. Since then. It Is
lelleved, the big bank has not dropped
Its plan to eventually secure control of
tho lesser one. The Anglo-California
'bank Is a very wealthy Institution hav
ing New York connections which niv
high In the financial conerns of the
country.

ENTERED
The French bark Canibronne arrived
liere two days ago from Cardiff with a
cargo of coal for the local Naval sta
tion. The vessel has not entered how
ever and will probably not do so until
Khe middle of next week. The reason
for her delay In entering. Is the fact
that her bill of lading 's not here. For
Some reason the bill of lading was not
put aboard the vessel. She should have
been provided with this document but
3t was not given iiere. It was supposed
to 'be sent by mall In time to reach this
port with the vessel. She mnde a fast
trip, coming In 12S days, so she arrived
ahead of her bill of lading. The bill
is expected by Wednesday's boat so the
Cambronne will then be able (to enter
and start to discharge her cargo.

are alleged and nre alleged fourteen

The red fish are running. The famous
alalauwa which are said according to
native folklore, to presage a death in
the royal family or else a political up
heaval, have been running since last
Friday night. The fish which go about
in large schools were first noticed Fri
day by the boat boys. On Saturday the
fish were again seen. They have also
been seen every night since. The na- I
tives caught a few of the fish.
The coming of the alalauwa is al
ways fraught with great significance to
the mind of the Hawailans. Many cor
roborations of the truth of the legend
could be secured. Two years ago the
flsh ran. It was at ilrst thought that
they prophesied the death of some of
the Hawaiian royalty. On the other
hand many of the natives thought that
the presence of the Ilsh meant a polit
ical change. In the latter belief, they
were corroborated, for the Republican
landslide Including the defeat of Wil
cox for delegate to Congress occurred
Some of the natives also declare that
Just before the death of the late Prince
Albert Kunulakea the red fish appeared.
So far as Is now known, the members
of Hawaiian royalty are In the enjoy
ment of good health. The presence of
the fish Is now said to foretell another
political change of government. This l
certainly encouraging to the Democrats.
All they need to do now Is to hand over
some white roosters, a couple of bntjtlns
of gin to some Democrat knhunas and
tell the ka'.iuna to get busy. A white
rooster brand of dope will soon be
turned out that will elect their candi
date to Congress, fill the legislature
with Democrats and dump the Repub
licans Into the streets.

TESTA FOR
CHAIRMAN
DEMOCRATS GOING UP AGAINST A ROW OVER THEIR CONVEN
TION'S TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN FIFTH DISTRICT DECLARES
FOR F. J. TESTA AND THERE IS TALK OF A FIGHT ON ACCOUNT
OF HIS QUESTIONABLE RIGHT TO SUFFRAGE.
Th Democratic delegates of the Fifth District held a caucus last night at
Waverley hall. There was a good sized attendance, including a number of
delegates from the Fourth District.
The discussion was confined to the Territorial convention. F. J. Testa
presided. He was endorsed for temporary chairman of the Democratic Ter
ritorial convention. No action was taken in the matter of the permanent
chairman. It was decided that the sergeant-at-arms should be bestowed on
the Kauai delegation, while the offices of temporary and permanent secre
tary should be divided between Maui and Hawaii. C. P. laukca was en
dorsed for Delegate to Congress. There was no action taken in regard to the
legislative candidates, as those conventions will not be held until next Wed
nesday, while the Territorial convention will meet on Monday at the
Orpheum.
The endorsement of Testa is not being received with universal favor. In
fact there is considerable opposition to him for that position, and it is likely
that a fight will ensue on the matter. The delegates from the Fourth Dis
trict will caucus tonight at Waverley hall. One of the grounds of opposi
tion to Testa is said to be that he was disfranchised by his recent convic
tion in the federal court, of sending obscene matter through the mails.

TRIED TO SET
FIRE TO MILL
HUTCHINSON PLANTATION MILL
VISITED BY DANGEROrS FIRE
SUNDAY NIGHT.
An Incendiary tried to destroy Hut
chinson Plantation mill ar' Naolehu last
Sunday night. Through the efforts of
Manager C. Wolters and the men on
the plantation, the fire was extinguish
ed before the mill became Ignited.
The Incendiary set fire to the trash
house, which Is a large structure ad
joining the mill. The fire was discov
ered about S o'clock. There was no wind
prevailing at the time, so the lire fight
ers under the direction of Manager
Wolters, were able to hold the names in
check. Had the fire not been discover
ed in time, the structure and contents
would have been In a blaze and the fire
could not have been controlled. The
mill would certainly have been destroy
ed.
half Portuguese and native man
was seen running away from the trash
house about the time the fire was dis
covered. He seemed to be the first one
who knew that Cere was any fire.
When asked to go and secure help to
the fire, he refused. His actions were
very suspicious and as other circum
stances were against the man, he was
arrested on a charge of having caused
the fire. He was held to answer to the
fjrand Jury to the charge of incendiar
ism. A native was also arrested, but It
was shown that he had no hand In the
affair.
