Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the currency, do herebv certify that 'The First National Bank of Hawaii, at Honolulu, in the city of Honolulu, Island of Oahu.

5550. By virtue of Its charter the new bank will have the power to issue bank notes that will be in general circulation and pass as legal tender in all transactions except as money paid as duty on goods Imported and as interest on United States government bonds. Notes to any amount may be issued by the bank, but before this is done a sum equal to the amount of the issue must be deposited in United States government bonds with the United States treasurer. The amount of the first issue of the notes of "The First National Bank of Hawaii, at Honolulu," will be $50,000. The paper has been ordered and will be here within a month or two and placed in circulation.

It is supposed that as the new bank is the only "national bank" here it will be made in the depository of all United States funds except the custom house receipts, which according to law must be put in the United States treasury or sub-treasury as soon after being received as possible. Col. Ruhlen "Watched" By Local Merchants. Presented With a Very Handsome and C03tly Time Piece By Business Men. The merchants of Honolulu, acting through a committee, have given Col.

The souvenir took the shape of a very handsome and costly gold watch, which was presented to Col. Ruhlen on Wednesday afternoon. The presentation letter is as follows: Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, September 5, 1900. Colonel George Ruhlen, Quartermaster.

U. S. Army, Honolulu.

The Chinese army is divided into three lines of de euse regular army, reserves under arms and reserves between sixteen and sixty years of age, who aru called out for training for only a few days in the year. The fighting troops and reserves under arms form what may be termed the imperial standing army. It i impossible to arrive at any definite conclusion as to their strength, but it is estimated that there are 60,000 cavalry and infantry and artillery. Major E. A.

J. Marshall, a British otiicer who is one of the best authorities, has summed up the number and disposition of the forces thus: FIGHTING TROOPS.
