THE WAY Notes on a Delightful Trip to Hilo Tom. SEHSATIOHS OH THE FREE SEA Channel Weather God Smlled-Re-commendations For Diet A Sturdy Craft. MR. EDITOR: The freedom of snir- it that the mere planning of a sea voyage brings be the prospective voy age ever so brief often comes before the free sea, but alas! when we are actually sailing from Honolulu in the Claudine our exaltation is tempered by a lively consciousness of having had some previous experience with Hawai ian channels and landing places. It is just for the reason that -not once in my trip across the dreaded channels did I find them very dreadful, that I am writing to tell you so. That not once did I lose the "divine intoxication of the first league out from land." In the retrospect, as in most of the journ ey, it was a pleasure, and not the bug bear it is generally supposed. The first hour we traced familiar landmarks and met our fellow-passengers, with whom, strangers or not, we were to have much in common for two days. There came the rounding of Koko Head and the process of ship ping water, which is an accompani- j ment of the rougher places. It dam- i pered our clothes and our conversa tional ardor, and made us willing to seek our berths (because there was no other place to go) and to confine our remarks to our room-mates. That is to say, for a little. There are only three or four rough places on the trip, andy when the boat is rather uneasy the average man can only lie on his back and be patient. Even so he need not be miserable, for he may perhaps help out his pa tience with a good novel, ginger ale, poi-cocktails, crackers and cheese, or even mustard (to be applied external ly, this last). I only know that each of these remedies had its advocater, who boasted of good results. I was assured (by those who knew, of course!) that the Kinau would have been speedier and quieter than "the stubby Claudine." I cannot say. I shall judge on my next trip to Hilo, when I have the Kinau then to prove it. However the Claudine is a doughty little steamer and has tasted "the free sea" more than once on her journeys to San Francisco. I for one am grate ful to her for bringing us to our de sired haven, for the courtesy of her officers, the faithfulness of her sailors, and the solicitude of her steward. She cannot help her stature, but her rooms are neat, the table is excellent (espe cially the square meal one has at Ma hukona bay), the shelter of the wheel house is a luxury in heavy seas, and the inspiration of the run from Laha ina to Maalaea, enjoyed from the cap tain's bridge, with the cool breeze and the jubilant stars in attendance make one glad to be aboard; while the won derful panorama of the Kohala and Hamakua coasts, with their magnifi cent stretches of cane, their gorges and waterfalls and mysterious valleys is well worth any discomfort there may peradventure be in the trip. If only the boat dared go a little nearer and if, when one had stupidly forgot ten the map, there were large maps in each stateroom with explicit details. This coast was glowingly described "bj? Isabella Bird, of course, but before the hand of the planter had spread over it a carpet of silvery green that later turns into gold. Rather a small band of the cabin passengers proved intrepid sailors, al though many of us rose to positive euthusiasm between times. For the melancholy ones, the deck load of Japanese had no charms. To go aft was almost picking one's way over a battlefield with its heaps of slain! Only those at leisure from themselves could have any sympathy to spare for the cheery, patient, long-suffering hu man creatures- huddled on the deck, and get pleasure and snap-shots from the simple Japanese ways of accept ing life. The climax of their hard journey was in the rough landing at Koholalele, when the darkness shut from us the spectacle of the dangling crane and its victim. The shouting led us to fear some accident, but the boat-boys are very skilful and when it was all over returned to such apathy that no one could have been lost or injured in the least. Speaking of boat boys, we admired ALONG the ease with which they lowered the boats and brought them up to the stays again, a ceremonial that is by no means a dumb show. I could but think of what Kate Field had said to a church full of natives on her last journey through Kona. There were three things, she told them, in which they excelled catching fish, manning boats and managing horses, and she besought them not to allow any other nation to wrest these, their own pe culiar occupations, from them. It was after midnight when we sight ed the friendly lights of Hilo. They were a prophecy to us that we should find the Spirit of Progress manifesting itself in the land, and we even found a second welcome innovation in the water the Waiakea boat wharf. We reached it, a solemnly silent company (and six hours before we had been most sociable!) after being rowed across a bay as smooth as glass. Even in the darkness we could distinguish parts of the new long wharf where ships will come, and out in the harbor were four vessels at anchor, for the wharf was not yet. Hilo treated us well. It placed its new comfortable hotel at our disposal, and sent its representatives to welcome us even before the breakfast hour, and calls were paid and returned the same day. The Hilo skies reflected the hos pitality of the people, for we saw not a drop of rain in the two days and more of our loitering and pleasuring in the peaceful town. We are more than ever impressed with the future that Hilo has before her, and mark the changes we see in Hilo revisited, six years after. The beautiful Foreign Church, the new large blocks In the business center, the comfortable new houses, cosy or costly that are going up in Puueo. I believe it is Hilo's Nob Hill the new beach road to Waia kea that promises to be the Boulevard of the place and the rumor of still other blocks and other homes. The Hilo Tribune and Hawaii Herald are less than five years old, together, and the Hilo Electric Light and Ice Com pany is a study one-year-old that shows no sign of speedy dissolution. Let us hope for it the youthful vigor that distinguished the immortal gods. Waianuenue street has been widened and macadamized but, permit me a 'isigh of sentiment tne picturesque walls surrounding the court-nouse have been levelled and with them has disappeared much of the beautiful fol iage that made the Court-house gate such a favorite subject with photo graphers. Alas! the finest plati num finish of any picture of the Court house taken today will not atone for tho lnss nf the old beauty. But tis progress, and 'tis well, and I approve. I understand that the tiny wooden shops on the waterfront are to be de molished, and Nature, with grass and trees will be trusted to extend a beau tiful beckoning finger to all who gaze upon Hilo from the bay. M. W. C. TRAVELERS. Some of the Passengers on the Steamship Doric. Among the through passengers on the Doric are the following: Mr. Barbour La"throp, well known in the city. Mr. Lathrop has been in the Orient for quite a while and is now re turning to his home in the States. Lieut. S. C. Paine, U. S.

They went ahead in a tug when the Doric sailed from Yokohama and took that vessel as she went by. They were then taken aboard. Messrs. Bleckyrden and White will take some pictures here today. Getting Their Letters. Since the introduction of the Kapoi kai Senate bill on qualifications of office holders, there has been quite a rush at the Foreign office with appli cations or petitions for letters of deni zation. Nearly, if not quite all the names handed in have been those of men who would come within the taboo scope of the act fathered by the Sena tor from Maui. Four letters were is sued yesterday, as follows: Inspectors Rhodes and Storey of the Customs ser vice, Mr. Deidel and Richard Weedon. DEPENDABLE BARGAINS. Now that the stock cf the fire sale is out of the way, L. B. Kerr will turn over a new leaf and offer to the trade a personally selected stock of beautiful dry goods at prices with prices attacked which competition can not touch. NEW HARBOR PLAN Honanii Stream to Be Diverted From Present Coirse. CABLE BILL COMES UP AGAIN Railroad Company Loses Its Bill. Lively Scene In House of Representatives. SENATE. Seventy-first Day, May 9. When the appropriation bill for con tingencies was- taken up Minister Cooper moved that the item of $95,000 for harbor improvements be increased to $215,000. Plans of the proposed Improvements were shown by the Minister. The principal change advo cated is an abandonment of the You mans' estate proposition and the build ing of a retaining wall at the upper end of the harbor to divert Nuuanu stream. The stream is to be carried between retaining walls 200 feet apart along the front of the Prison to the sea. This will necessitate cutting through the embankment of the Railway near the present location of its scales, the stream to run at right angles to the upper end of the harbor. By diverting the fresh water from the present stream to the artificial course, Minister Cooper argued that the vast deposits of mud and debris, now emptied into the harbor and dredged out at great expense, would be sent along the new course into the sea below Kalihi. The plans as exhibited by Minister Cooper were for the dredging out of a slip 160 feet wide and 800 feet long through a portion of the Youmans' es tate to the proposed embankment. On each side of the slip it is proposed building a wharf 60 feet wide with a driveway running along tne entire length. The harbor end of the slip is to be on the present harbor edge and will not interfere wltn tne naroor I traffic. On the exhibited plans were outlined slips which could;, as neces sity warranted, be made on the makai side of the proposed slip. The increase asked in the appropriation includes es timates for condemnation of the land, dredging, building the slip and the re taining walls of the proposed embank ment and building the wharves and roadway. Senator Brown said he was opposed to such a plan. He had lived in Hono lulu many years and remembered no such bed of the stream except during freshets when there was an overflow. He had been told that the reason the harbor entrance was clear of coral was because of the fresh water from the stream. He said he had no confidence in the abilitv of the Superintendent of Public Works to execute economically such a plan and he thought it outrageous for the Executive to bring in, wnen tnere were but 19 days more of the present session, a proposition calling for the expenditure of over $200,000 on an es timate totally different from the one proposed at the opening of the session. He was not opposed to naroor im provement, but he would refuse to vote in favor of such measure on such slight consideration. Minister Cooper said the plan as presented had been formulated by the Government in an attempt to meet the wishes of the people. Many ideas in the proposed plan were incorporated. The Executive would control the ex penditure. - Senator McCandless believed that the subject should be considered with the greatest care. He too had no confid ence in the ability of the Commissioner of Public Works and it was altogether too large a sum of money to be placed in his charge to spend. Senator Waterhouse's motion that the item be inserted in the bill and referred to the special committee hav ing harbor matters in charge with in structions to report on Friday was passed. The remaining items in the bill were read and the whole bill was deferred to Friday. Minister Cooper offered an amend ment to the cable bill vesting the pow er of srrantine: a franchise, exclusive or otherwise, in the President and Cabinet. The words Pacific Cable Company are stricken out and the word company inserted. In explana tion the Minister said this proposition was favored by the Cabinet who de sired the right to make the contract, exclusive if the occasion demanded. The amendments and the bill were re ferred to the special committee having the cable bill in charge. In the discussion on the bill to pro vide the Oahu Railway with-wharves. Senator Brown moved that the bill pass and that the report of the com mittee be indefinitely postponed. He said he was a firm believer in the policy of the Government to own all wharves on the harbor. In this case a definite contract was entered to with the Railroad Company. It seemed to him that the Executive was attempt ing to repudiate Its contract to a com pany, in the absence of which the Gov ernment would not be receiving sucli revenues from the lands on this Island which were opened up by this Rail road Company. Minister Cooper said if there be a repudiation it must be that of a vested right; if the company have a vested right their recourse was in the Courts where there was ample protection to individuals and corporations alike. If they had these vested rights why did the company apply to the Legisla ture? Minister Cooper said the con tract made with the Government for vacating on 90 days notice was as solemn a contract as any which the Railroad Company cited. Senator Baldwin said that one argu ment, in favor of the Government own ing the entire harbor front, was that because of the increasing needs of the harbor there must be in the near fut ure a sacrifice of public funds for wharf room. It was reasonable to suppose that the Government would be better able and more willing to make such improvements than any private company. At 11:45, the Senate adjourned to 1:30 o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. In the afternoon session, there was further consideration of the bill. Sen ator McCandless said that the present controversy was similar to all those in the history of corporations. It was an attempt to acquire more property to themselves. But the Government must maintain its rights. The Senator said he was opposed to the bill on be half of the public good. Senator Brown again spoke favoring the bill. He rehearsed the legislation pertaining to the railroad from the time when it was first projected to the present date. After considerable argu ment by the Senator, during which he proposed that a compromise be effect ed, by allowing the company but one wharf, if no more could be granted, a vote was taken on the bill. It fail ed of passage by a vote of 8 to 6 and the report of the committee to lay on the table was adopted. The House bill relating to the des cent of property was read by title and went to the Judiciary Committee. Senator Holstein presented a peti-X tion from 15 members of the band of Kalaupapa praying for salaries and an appropriation for uniforms. The peti tion was referred to the Committee on Health. - s The House bill prohibiting the sprinkling of clothes by water ejected from the mouth passed second read ing. Third reading was set for Tues day. Communications were received from the House relative to joint action on bills and concurring in minor amend ments. In response to a petition from the Carter Memorial fountain committee the Public Lands Committee was ap pointed to confer with a similar com mittee from the House and meet the Memorial Committee to discuss the question of a site for the fountain. The bill relative to Chinese Immigra tion was read by title and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Minister Cooper gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to regulate the opening of streets on private land and a bill to open a marine park on the east side of the harbor. At 2:30 o'clock, the Senate went into a 15 minute executive session and then adjourned. HOUSE.
