This will be a very busy week in
shipping circles and along the water
front. The Garonne departed yester
day afternoon for Seattle. The several
Island steamers will hardljr have all
gone today when the Nippon-Maru
will arrive from San Francisco. Fred
Whitney of the Oceanic wharf looks
for the Moana to arrive from the Col
onies early tomorrow morning and the
Mariposa from San Francisco on the
following morning. The America Maru
will reach here on Saturday on her
way from the Orient to San Francisco
and will end the hustle and bustle of
the week.
The Garo'nne took her departure
from the Oceanic whart at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The Government
band (played the steamer off. The pas
senger list was quite large and includ
ed those members of the Minneapolis
Times "Excursion party who preferred
remaining over in the Islands for one
month to returning on the last trip of
the Garonne. In the party were Mrs
Wm. E. Haskell and son, of Minne
apolis. Miss Gertrude Clarke of Oma
ha, Mrs. Clough, Miss Alice Strong

week. Alex. Young and wife are the
first on the list. They are returning to
their home in Oakland. Mrs. Wagner,
wife of contractor Wagner, is going to
San Francisco for a three months
visit. She will return with Mrs. S.
Roth, Mrs. J. W. Winter and Miss
Rose Roth in about three months. Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Bruce and the Misses
Bruce will return to Alameda, after a
two weeks' sojourn in Honolulu. The
jolly party of Salt Iake Society people
including Mr. and Mrs J. H. McCrystal
and two children, Mrs. W. P. Colton
and daughter, Dr. F. S. Bascom and
Lieut. B. X. Smith, will start for home.
They came on the last Australia. Ken
neth Melrose, S. Wenton. J. C. Pascol
and Juan Treadwell, all of San Fran

English army officer, who has been
stopping at Wright's Villa, will leave
for Australia on the Mariposa.
P. C. Jones will leave for the States
either by the Moana or the America
Maru. He will join his family in Phila
delphia. W. L. Hopper wants to leave by the
America Maru on Saturday. Major C.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Jan. lS.The Press has just concluded an
investigation of the dismantled Workshop of John W. Keely, the
motor man. The investigators Were assisted by Professor Herring,
a consulting electrical engineer of wide experience; Professor Ar
thur W. Goodspeed. assistant professor of physics of the University
? Pennsylvania; Professor Leightor Witmer. professor of experi
mental psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. M.
S. Miller. In addition to these gentlemen Clarence B. Moore, son of
Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, and Mr. Coleman Sellers, Jr., took part in
the examination of the flooring on Tuesday afternoon, when the
most important find of all was made.
Every bit of flooring -was ripped up and every nook and cranny
explored under the flooring and under the walls. The results show
that communication between the upper and lower rooms of the fam
ous laboratory was easy, and was apparently one of the conditions
under which the experiments were carried on. In a nutshell, the dis
covery of tubing under the floor of the main exhibition room and
the brick partition wall between the exhibition rooms, in connec
tion with the possible use of the great steel sphere as a reservoir
for compressed air, or compressed gases, has convinced all the in
vestigators that this was not only the possible but probable agency
that moved the Keely motor.
The tubing is of the kind calculated to stand high pressure, and
the amount of it found and the position of the few pieces in place is
held by the investigators to go a long way toward solving the sec
rets of the famous laboratory.
Coleman Sellers said today: "After seeing the tubing in place
under the floor of the Keely laboratory, 1 am inclined to the opinion
that the inventor employed compressed air in his experiments.
The size of the bore of the tubes indicates that they were intended
to carry high pressure. It is impossible to see the tubes under the
floor and believe in the inventors sincerity. He could have had no
honest object in creating them."

SKAGUAY
The Traveled Mule That Shafter
Rode is Now Here.
EDITOR P. C. A. "Skaguay," a
Government pack mule, is now in the
city, a late airival on the U. S. Trans
port Tacoma. This mule has traveled
much, not all on foot either. He has
traveled by rail, steamer, sailing ves
sel and nearly every other way except
ing stage coach and Pullman sleeper
He was purchased at St. Louis, Mo.,
IT. S. A., and from there he was shinned
I to Yellowstone Park, Montana, thence
to Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, thence
to Vancouver, Washington, thence to
Seattle, Washington, thence to Skag
uay, Alaska, thence to Dyea, Alaska,
thence to Seattle, Wash., thence to St.
Louis. Mo., thence to Tampa, Fla.,
tbence to Santiago, Cuba, thence to
Montauk Point, N. Y., thence to Wash
ington, D. C, thence to St. Louis, Mo.,
thence to San Francisco, thence to Ho
nolulu, where he is now rusticating
prior to his journey to Manila, P. I.
He is a sturdy little fellow and can
carry four hundred pounds with ease,
and has been ridden by no less an il
lustrious personage than Gen. Shafter
himself, who weighs three hundred
pounds.
Skaguay munches Uncle Sam's hay
with quiet dignity, and is not averse
to visitors, but he draws the line at
kissing. He is not that kind of a hero.

Mr. C. E. Smith who has served the
cause so faithfully left by the Scandia
for the Paradise of the Pacific. Mr.
Smith will be seriously missed by us
all and more especially those who are
in the Hospital as he acted as guard
ian angel to the sick.
Harry Murray of the Xebraskas is
rapidly recovering from the effect of
malaria at the Brigade Hospital.
Honolulu will be new to us on our
return as late papers from there speak
of a great many changes since annex
ation. F. J. Perrine of the 4th cavalry has
returned to his quarters after a six
weeks sojourn at the Hospital where
he was under treatment for malaria,
the result being the loss of about 25
pounds of flesh. All for some poi.
Later news is to the effect that Har
ry Murray is entirely re-covered and is

Cogswell's Latest.
Artist Cogswell prolonged his stay in
Honolulu for ten days for the especial
purpose of painting P. C. Jones. The
result of the work cannot fail to sat
isfy all who know the respected ka
maaina. A remarkably true likeness
has been produced. It was completed
only yesterday. The style is Cogswell's
very best and coloring and expression
are perfect. It is said that the portrait
will be placed in the business offices of
C. Brewer & Co.
Second Mate Arrested.
There was trouble aboard the Wills
scott yesterday. T. Liebenberg, the
cook, used threatening language to
ward Second Mate O'Neill, who re
sented by knocking the man down.
O'Neill Avas arrested on the charge of
assault and battery. The case will come
up for trial this morning. The row, in
which frightful language vas used,
was heard for quite a distance.
V Heach Residence.
Contractor Fred Harrison will begin
work this week on the foundation of
James B. Castle's new beach residence.
The foundation will consist of dressed
stone and concrete. The residence
will be. a three-story structure -with a

President C. U Wight, of the Wild
er Steamship Company, had a confer
ence with Frank J. Hocl, secretary o
McCord-Brady Company, the big coffeo
wholesalers for the Trans-Mississippi
States, on the future prices of Hawaii
an coffee.
Mr. Wight is of the opinion that
prices will drop within the next two
years. In a letter to L,and Commis
sioner Brown, he said: "There Is a
large over-production at present of itho
low grades of coffee. Rio is selling
for 6 cents, Santos for 7 cents, while
Hawaiian coffees are worth, about 15
cents. In my opinion there is no over
production of the high grade coffee,
such as we raise here. I look, how
ever, for a further drop in prices with
in the next two years. After that I
look for a ssharp advance. I firmly be
lieve that our coffee will always aver
age 15 cents per pound, year in. and
year out."
In his consultation with McCord
Brady Company's representative, Mr.
Wight took this same position. Mr.
Hoel's views did not coincide with Mr.
Wight's conclusions, he contending
that the fall in prices would be cou
fined entirely to the lower srade coi
fees. Mr. Hoel says that in his opin-'
ion, Hawaii can produce as fine a grade
of coffee as grows in Java oMexico.
The only drawback in Hawaii is that
not all the coffees are properly pre
pared for the rcurket.' The defective
coffee that is shipped to the markets
in the States, is obliged to wait for a
buyer at a low price. Mr. Hoel "assert
ed that if th Hawaiian planters would
only exercise care in the picking, pulp
ing, fermenting and drying of their
coffees, they could rest assured that
their coffees will command in the fu
ture as good, if not better prices, than
at the present time.
The following letter from Miss Lu
cile Borden, an expert demonstrator of
coffees, who was employed by the Ha
waiian Government as the chief dem
onstrator of coffees in the Government
exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi Expo
sition at Omaha last summer, will bo
interesting to the island coffee plant
ers:
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 24, 1898.
Mr. Robt. W. Shingle, Hawaiian Com
missioner, Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear Sir: It is with pleasure that
I state that although I have been tak
ing orders for coffee from consumers,
and demonstrating for the past fives
or six years, during which time I havo
demonstrated for some of the most
popular brands of coffee, including
high-priced Java and Mocha mixtures,
I have never demonstrated a coffee
that was as easy to introduce and take
orders for as the iiigh grade Hawaiian
coffee that has been served in connec
tion with the Hawaiian Exhibit at
Omaha during the past five months.
The strength of the coffee is almost
marvcMous when one stops to consider
that one pound of Hawaiian coffee will
produce as much (ground) Uuid coffee
as one and two-thirds pounds of
ground, high-priced Java and Mocha
mixtures. Then again, the flavor and
aroma of the coffee equals or surpas
ses any coffee pioduced as far as i have
been able to learn. The thought has
occurred to me that the large coffee
growers in Hawaii should know as to
the specit-I merit of their coffee as
compared with the coffee grown in oth
er countries, as its great strength
should add vory materially to its value
! in n ilrl iHrtn tr ifi rtViri fina nmlih'ps
The high grade Hawaiian coffees
should command a special value also
for blending with coffees grown in
(other countri-es. Should you desdre
any additional statements regarding
i the results of my work in demonstrat
ing the coffees of which you have had
charge, please inform me.
Yours truly,
LUCILE BORDEN,
Chief Demonstrator.
