his duty to be to cancel the stamps onletters mailed at the landings through-out the group. At the present time a.surprisingly large proportion of theletters are distributed on the otherIslands with the stamps uncancelled.In many cases the stamps are usedover and over again and the Govern-ment is deprived of its legitimate pro-fit thereby. The Postmaster-Gener- al

advocated in one report the use ofstamped envelopes only when mailedat the steamers. By the appointmentof the cancelling clerks the leakagewill be stopped. The committee there-fore recommended the passage of theitem, as they did also that of $38,000for pay of mail carriers. This is undera proposed reorganization of the sys-tem in the country districts,. The discussion on the Postal SavingsBank developed the fact that there arenow over 10.000 individual accounts,many of wliich are with the Board ofImmigration covering the deposits fromChinamen under the law governing thatfeature of plantation labor conditions.

100 pounds. This sum would be equalto 3.50. The coffee has been of avery inferior quality. It is the opinionof the experts and experienced menthat Mexico will never produce achoice, high grade, fine flavor coffee.While the foreign syndicates are doingall in their power to settle their im-mense holdings and to encourage agri-culture along lines that will insure suc-cess, they have to contend with the la-"b- or

problem and with the slowness ofthe Government. Mexico is for instancewithout such a feature of administra-tion as an agricultural bureau or de-partment.

Professor Koebele says he is of theopinion that all coffee that can beproduced in Hawaii should find a mar-ket in the United States alone at from35 cents a pound to an advance de-pending on the size of the crop fromyear to year. His idea is that theplanters here or the Government or thetwo together in co-ppera- tion shouldby a systematic and sure means placecoffee of the Island properly and di-

rectly before the users in the UnitedStates. He is satisfied that there is ademand for the article and that thedemand should be met in a manner andby a means not now employed in thetrade. As an earnest of his idea inthe premises. Professor Koebele hassent to a merchant friend of his onthe Coast a consignment of 500 poundscf Hawaiian coffee and he is positivethat it will sell at once at the figurehe mentions. There are people in theStates who want good coffee (Hawai-ian preferred) and who will pay forit. The large body of consumers arenow forced to use what Professor Kce-be- le

designates as "soup." The UnitedStates leads in the production of coffeesubstitutes and the manufacture andsale of spurious stuff has reachedalarming or astonishing proportions.More than five years ago, it was statedin an official report of the Govern-ment that the production of coffee sub-stitutes had reached an output of thevalue of $25,000,000 calculating at threecents a pound. This is increasing rap-idly. There is machinery which makesthe bean from the sweet potato. Peasand beans are used to some extentwhen there are large crops of them.

The entire question of the marketingof Hawaiian coffee and the mainten-ance of its deserved prestige has beengone into with the greatest care byProfessor Koebele and by others in-

terested as well, and the verdict isthat there must be established an al-most if not clearly direct connectionbetween the consumers who want realcoffee and who are willing to pay forit and the men who produce the genu-ine article here an article that canhold its own with the best coffee theworld has ever known.

Japanese Merchants Say Tariff On

Sale Is Too HijjL

DUTY A HARDSHIP OH LABORERS

Petition to Senate Postal BureauAppropriations House

Business.

SENATE.

Nineteenth Day, March 10.

Senator Brown presented a petitionsigned by several responsible Japaneseof the city, asking that the import dutyon sake be reduced. This plea is onbehalf of their countrymen who are laborers at small wages, and, because ofthe advanced rate, are almost prohibited to indulge in their national drink.

Under the former duty the averagelaborer consumed one pint of sake perday. The price of sake was 68 centsper gallon, so that each laborer'3 liquorcost him 8V2 cents each day or $2.55 amonth. The present duty of $1.00 pergallon brings the cost of the daily pintof sake up to 24 cents, and the costper month up to $7.20. The merchantssay that the average wages of plantation laborers is $12.50 per month, andthey simply cannot afford to indulgein sake as liberally as has been theircustom in Japan.

According to the merchants this con-sumption is not excessive drinking;actual intemperance among them doesnot exist and the drink is almost anecessity, therefore the deprivationworks a hardship. , The merchants sayfurther that the almost prohibitivetariff cause a loss of $2G,G00 per an-num to the Government. The petitionwas referred to the Committee on Com-merce, Agriculture and Manufacturesfor thorough investigation.

A communication was received fromthe House announcing the passage ofand transmitting House bill 1 relatingto suspension of sentence. The billlater passed the first reading.

A report was presented by SenatorLyman from the Public Lands Com-mittee relating to certain items in ap-propriation bill for unpaid accounts.Senator Rice reported the Senate Billto extend certain streets ready forthird reading, and the Senate bill ex-empting certain property from taxa-tion, printed and ready for distribu-tion.

Six small items in the unpaid ac-

count's bill were passed and on mo-tion of Senator Brown, two new oneswere inserted. They were the claimof the Woodlawn Dairy for $7,665 forthe killing of tuberculous cattle andthe claim of the Honolulu Dairy for$2,330 for the same reason. The twoitems on motion of Senator Water--house were referred to a special com-mittee, the appointment of which, thePresident announced, would be madelater.

Senator Brown said he presentedthese two claims to open up a discussion on the matter and to determinewhether or not the Government wasliable for the value of the cattle thusdestroyed by order of the Board ofHealth. He was not prepared to saywhether or not he favored . the plan.In some states of the Union the ownersof cattle were remunerated for theirloss, in others they were not. Therewere adverse claims in Honolulu. Thedairies held that some of the cattlekilled were free from tuberculosiswhile the authorities stated that theywere diseased. If the Government didkill cattle not afflicted they should certainly pay for them. If they werediseased it was another question andit snould be settled.

Senator Waterhouse believed it asubject of such importance that itshould be thoroughly investigated.

The special committee on Postal Bu-reau, through Senator McCandless aschairman, recommended the passageof the salary items in the bill. TheBureau is on a paying basis and therehas been an enormous increase in allbranches of the service of from 50 to100 per cent. The salaries of the Sec-retary, the Superintendent of the Post-al Savings Bank and the Superintend-ent of the Postal Money Order Depart-ment were all raised to $4,000 for theperiod. The item of $33,720, salariesof 20 clerks, was passed. The list in-

cluded four additional clerks, renderedabsolutely necessary, the committee re-

ported, because of the increase in for-eign mails and the fact that there wereoften foreign steamers arriving andIsland steamers leaving on the sameday and the present force could notget up the work.

The item of $40,000 for pay of post-masters includes the expense of a newsystem which the Postmaster-Gener- al

proposes to inaugurate of appointing

the larger Island steamers a mail clerk,

Nine Varieties of Fruit Coffee,Land and Labor In Mexico Ad-

vice to Hawaiian Coffee Men.

A very important section of thework of Professor Koebele here for theGovernment and the agricultural in-

terest at large lies in the introductionof new suitable fruit, shrubs, trees,etc. He has given a good deal of timeand attention to this branch and theprospects are that he will accomplishmuch for the benefit of the Islands.Professor Koebele is making the clos-est study to discover what will besuitable to the climate and will avoidthe importation of anything that wouldbe at all likely to fail. In two or threeinstances the Professor has broughtseeds to learn only that he was "fetch-ing coals to Newcastle," either Mr.Marsden or someone else havingthought before of the adaptability ofcertain fruits or trees for Hawaii.

Upon his arrival in the Islands forthis present stay, Professor Koebelebrought from Mexico no less than ninenew varieties of fruit. All of the seedshave turned out well and he is cer-tain that the experiment in each in-

stance will give satisfaction and the re-

sult will be the addition of much vari-ety to the fruit here. He saj--s thatHawaii has the soil and climate forfruits of the tropics and in a very fewlocalities for fruits of the temperatezone. All Mexican fruits will do espe-cially well here and some of them aredelicious. In Mexico, guavas, alliga-tor pears and mangoes are commonas they are in Hawaii. ProfessorKoebele has introduced several newvarieties of the alligator pear that aredoing well.

Professor Koebele takes quite a spe-cial interest in the mango and promisesto give the Islands, from Mexico, amango that will be more highly prizedthan any ever seen here. He sent forsome seeds, but they were improperlypacked and spoiled in shipment. Hehas now sent on an order for the fruititself. This new one is called the Ma-nila mango. Professor Koebele be-

lieves it better to get the fruit as ithas grown in Mexico than to bring itfrom Manila. At the retail fruit standsin all the cities and villages of Mexi-co the ordinary mangoes sell at fromthree to half a dozen for one cent. Asingle Manila mango costs from threeto twelve cents. The fruit is largeand of delicious flavor. Beneath theskin it is of about the consistency ofbutter, is not "stringy" and is every-where most highly prized by all wholike fruit. It is planned that this Ma-nila mango will be common here in afew years.

Of the score or more of men in Ha-waii who have been in Mexico or oneof the several coffee producing coun-tris- e

south of that Republic, ProfessorKoebele is assuredly the best equippedin every way to give an accurate andintelligent account of the condition inthat whole territory of coffee culture.He hunted blight and injurious insectsin Mexico for many months and madethe closest personal inspection of manyof the large coffee and fruit estates.

Mexico has 12,000,000 people. Of thistctal, 9,000.000 are the so-call- ed peons.They are the tillers of the soil and thelabor supply of the country. All thework is done by them. But labor isscarce in Mexico. The peons are attachedtotheirlittlehcmes or to the great plan-tations upon which they have spenttheir lives and are averse to travelingor to remaining away from their ordi-nary associations. The beginning ofthe development of Mexico is recentand the first progressive movement ranagainst the labor problem and has notyet surmounted it. A great step isbeing made in the direction of solu-tion- by

the establishment of a Japanesecolony. The Japanese are going therenow as settlers on a selected tract of40,000 acres. It is confidently expectedthat these pioneers will be followed bythousands of laborers and that thepeons will wake up some day and betold that they are "being pushed tothe wall by the invaders." Only lastyear a California syndicate lostmoney on its big coffee crop in Mexicobecause the labor for picking couldnot be secured.

Two-bit- s per acre, is not the uni-form price of land sold willingly bythe Mexican Government to foreign-ers, but areas of square miles in extent

i have been scld at that figure. Coffeej land has been sought. One American

company is now selling coffee landwith trees three years old at $3 andacre. All coffee culture in the Dast has

j been by the crudest and most careless' methods and the green coffee has been; sold for seven Mexican dollars a bag of

Nineteenth Day, March 10.At the opening of the House the

Speaker stated that Rep. Loeoensteinhad asked to be excused for the day onaccount of illness.

Third reading of House Bill No. 13.relating to coroners' jury. In speakingon this matter, the Attorney-Gener- al

expressed the opinion that to pass themeasure as it stood would be a mis-

take. To call a coroner's jury in everycase of sudden death,, without qualifi-cation, would be going too far. Hemoved to strike out the word sudden.Rep. Achi suggested that "at the dis-

cretion of the coroner" be inserted.Rep. Pogue called the attention of theAttorney-Gener- al to the fact that strik-ing out the word sudden would meana jury in the case of every death. TheAttorney-Gener- al then moved that thesection containing the disputed clause,be passed as in the original bill. Rep.Knai rpnrespnt.ed that, in some of thecountry districts, the people likely tobe called as jurors were in the habitof calling the coroner and getting himto hold an inquest for the sake ofgetting the fees. The Attorney-Ge- n

eral tnen introduced an amendmentalong the same line as the suggestionmade by Rep. Achi, leaving the call-ing of a coroner's jury with the coro-ner himself.- - The bill passed thirdreading unanimously.

Under suspension of rules, Rep.Pogue read the report of the FinanceCommittee on the resolution of Rep.Achi relating to mileage of membersof the House. The majority of thecommittee recommended the adoptionof the resolution. Rep. Paris did notconcur. Rep. Achi wanted the reporthanded back to the committee withinstructions to bring in a joint resolu-tion so that the matter might be set-tled for all time. Report of the ma-jority of the committee adopted.

Rep. Achi propounded the followingquestions to the Minister of Finance:

1. Is it true that by the AnnexationTreaty, the United States Governmentagrees to assume $4,000,000 of the pub-lic debt of the Republic of Hawaii?

2. In your statement of December31st, 1897, the indebtedness of the Gov-ernment amounted to $4,039,146.65. Willyou state how this amount is to be set-tled in the case if annexation shall beratified by the Senate of the UnitedStates this session?

a house forming part of the premises be destroyed by fire; thetenant is obliged to rebuild. Bullock r. Dommitt, 0 T. K. 050.Hence, it is usual to expressly except damage by fire or otherunavoidable casualty. But the covenant that at the expirationof the term the lessee shall deliver up or surrender the premisesto the lessor in the same or as good condition as at the eommenee-men- t

of the lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted, creates noobligation to rebuild in case of destruction by fire or other un-

avoidable casualtv. Warner v. Jlitchins, 5 Barb. GOG; Miller?. Morris, 55 Tex. 412. In such case the parties presumablyhave in mind, not the insurance of the existence of the property,but the return of the property at the expiration of the contractThe obligation is against holding over, not for the maintenanceof the property. The parties assume that the property is to con-

tinue in existence. "When the basis of the obligation is removedthe obligation itself falls. The emphasis is on the word "sur-render," not on the word "premises." The purpose is to guardagainst holding over or damage through the fault of the tenant.

Similar reasoning has been applied in construing charter-partie- s.

The case most similar to the case at bar is that of Youngr. Lcartf, 135 X. Y. 509. The charterer agreed that on thetermination of the charter he would "deliver tho said steampropeller to the "Washburn Steamboat Company (the owner)

in the same good condition as she is now in,ordinary wear and tear excepted." The court, after referringto the class of cases in which inevitable accidents are held toafford no excuse for non-performan- ce of an absolute contract,said:

"The contract in this case comes as it seems to us underanother class which relates to the hiring for use of the thinghired and where an express contract is made to re-deliv- er thearticle hired upon the determination of the term of hiring.Even in such cases of express contract, there is implied a con-

dition of the continued existence of the thing which is thesubject of the contract, and if it perish without any fault of thehirer, so that re-delive- ry becomes impossible, the hirer is ex-

cused."""When language like that found in this agreement is used,

the condition of continued existence is implied, and as thusinterpreted it creates nothing more of an obligation than thatwhich the law raises without any such promise: When languageis used which does no more than express in terms the sameobligation which the law raises from the facts of the transactionitself, the party using the language is no further bound than hewould have been without it."

The court also quoted from Leake on Contracts as follows:"The authorities establish the principle that where from

the nature of the contract it appears that the parties must fromthe beginning have known that it could not be fulfilled, unlesswhen the time for the fulfillment of the contract arrived, someparticular specified thing continued to exist, so that when enter-ing into the contract they must have contemplated such con-

tinued existence as the foundation of what was to be done, thenin the absence of any express or implied warranty that the thingshall exist, the contract is not to be construed as a positive con-

tract, but as subject to an implied condition that the partiesshall be excused in case before breach the contract becomesimpossible from the perishing of the thing without the dqfaultof the contractor."

See also Ames v. Behlen, 17 Barb. 513; McEvers r. Steam-boat Sangamon, 22 Mo. 180: IFjland r. Paul, 33 Barb. 241;Stewart r. Stone, 127 X. Y. 500; Stum r. Boler, 150 U.S. 312.

In Steele, r. Bud:, 01 111. 343, cited by the lihellant, it istrue, the court came to a different conclusion, but that suit wasbrought, not upon the charter-party- , but upon a separate bondgiven to secure the performance of the covenants in the charter-part- y.

The court based its decision on this distinction. Itsaid that if the charter-part- y were "all the contract between theparties, there might be some reason for insisting that it createsno higher obligation than the law imposes," and distinguishedAmes v. Behlen, supra, on the ground that the action in thatcase was upon the charter-part- y itself. Whether this distinctionwas well-founde- d in principle, we need not venture to say, butthe distinction was taken and the court did not dispute thecorrectness of decisions of the class to which Ames v. Behlenbelongs. In Young r. Lean, supra, the suit 'was, as in thepresent case, against the surety and not against the charterer.

The presumption that in cases of this kind the parties con-

template that there should be a continuing obligation only incase of the continued existence of the thing whose existence isnecessary to make performance possible may, of course, be re-

butted by other appropriate words in the contract. In thepresent case the other language of the charter-part- y does nottend in the least to overcome the presumption. If anything,it rather strengthens it.

E.O. HALL & SON,LdJUST TO HAND:

Freak and AVhitixc;,. J J., and Circuit Judge Perry, inPLACE OF JUDD, C.J., ABSENT.

A covenant in a charter-part- y to surrender the vessel to the owner atthe expiration of the term in as good condition as she now is in,

ordinary wear and tear excepted, is presumably made on the as-

sumption of the continued existence of the vessel, and hence, in

the absence of any intention shown to the contrary, the loss of

the vessel before the expiration of the charter and through no

fault of the charterer will excuse performance of the covenant.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY FREAK. J.

The libcllant let the schooner "Maliimahi" to one llo PaiYet for the term of six months from June 15, 1894, for the sumof $125 per month, the charterer to hear the expenses of mann-

ing, repairing and furnishing the vessel (with certain ex-

ceptions) and at the expiration of the term to "surrender andyield up the said schooner to the said party of the first part(lihellant) in as good condition as she now is, ordinary use andwear excepted." The libellee, Ahlo, joined in the charter-part- y

guaranteeing the payment of the $125 per month and the faith-

ful performance by the charterer of all his agreements andcovenants.

During the term of the charter, on November 14, 1S04, theschooner was wrecked while heating up the channel leading to

the harbor at AVaialna, Oahu, and became a total loss.

This libel is for $2500 damages for the failure of the chartererto "surrender and vield up" tho schooner to the owner at theexpiration of the term as agreed.

The Circuit Judge dismissed the libel upon the grounds thatthe loss occurred through the "Act of God" and not throughany fault of the master or charterer; and that the covenant to

surrender the vessel at the expiration of the term was only anexpression of what the law would imply in the absence of anexpress agreement and left the parties subject to the common

law rule that a bailee is obliged only to exercise due care andis not liable for losses occurring through no fault of his.

On the evidence the finding of the Circuit Judge that theloss occurred through no fault or negligence of the master orcharterer must, be sustained. The main question is whether thecharterer was obliged to return the schooner at all hazards oronly in case he was not prevented from doing so through nofault of his own. It will be unnecessary to review each of thenumerous cases cited by counsel on both sides. They relatein general to a class of what are called "impossible agreements."There are several classes of such agreements, those the per-

formance of which is impossible in themselves or is or after-

wards becomes impossible by law, those the performance ofwhich becomes impossible by default of one of the parties, andthose the performance of which is impossible in fact or becomes

impossible without the default of cither party. Pollock, Contr.,348 et set. The agreement in question belongs to the last men-

tioned class. The rule in regard to this class is that the agree-

ment is or becomes void or not according as the intention of theparties was or was not that the agreement should be conditionalupon its performance being or continuing possible in fact. Inother words-th- e question is one of construction. If it was in-

tended that the charterer should return the vessel to the ownerin any event or be liable in damages for not doing so, that is,

if it was intended that he should take the entire risk and insurethe return of tho vessel, he should be held to his agreement,even though he was prevented from performance by inevitableaccident. The loss would have to fall on one of the parties andit should naturally fall on the one who assumed the obligationand did not take the precaution to expressly limit his liability.If, on the other hand, it was intended that the vessel should bereturned only in case it should be possible to do so, and it be-

came impossible to do so through no fault of the charterer, heshould not be held. There being no obligation to indemnifyin such case, the loss would remain where it fell; the chartererwould lose tho value of the vessel during the remainder of theterm and the owner would lose its value thereafter. The in-

tention of the parties may be expressed or implied. The casescited by counsel are of two classes, those holding under certaincircumstances that exceptions to tho contractors obligation can-

not be allowed unless expressly provided for, and those holdingunder certain other circumstances that certain exceptions areimplied. The two classes are in perfect harmony.

The cases in which exceptions are presumed to have been in-

tended are those in which the parties have expressly agreed todo merelv what the law would imply and in which the lawwould imply the exceptions as well as the ride, for in such casestho parties by expressing the usual rule would presumably in-

tend that it should carry with it the usual exceptions; and thosecases in which the performance of the contract depends on theexistence of a certain thing or condition or set of circumstances,that is, cases in which the parties apparently have taken some-

thing for granted and"have contracted on that basis and wouldpresumably have contracted differently had they contemplateddifferent circumstances. To illustrate, an apparently absolutecontract to marry or to perform personal services is subject tothe implied condition that the person shall continue to live.So, an obligation to deliver at a future time a particular horse,whether sold or hired, is at an end if the horse die meanwhile.A contract to make or bring into existence a thing wouldnaturally be subject to no exceptions unless expressed, as, acontract to build and complete a house upon the land of anotherby a certain day. The destruction of the house by lightning justbefore its completion would not excuse non-performan- ce.

School Dist. v. Dauehif, 25 Conn. 530. But a contract merelyto repair a house already in existence would presumably bemade on the basis of a continuance of its existence. In suchcase the destruction of the house by fire prior to the completionof the work would excuse performance. Lord r. Wheeler, 1

Grav 2S2. Sec also Wells r. Calnan, 107 Mass. 514. Thedistinction between. the two classes of cases is well illustrated bydecisions construing certain covenants usually found in leases.The covenant to maintain the premises in repair, &c, if madewithout express exception or qualification, is held (perhaps bya somewhat strained construction) to be an absolute undertakingwitlino implied exceptions, and the obligation continues though

Fate of a Sailor of theShip Western Monarch.

Fell Overboard and Was Unable toSwim-Bo- at Lowered-Tw- o Stow-

aways Are Brought.

The British ship Western Monarch,Evans master, arrived in port at anearly hour last evening and hauledalongside the Irmgard wharf, 117 daysfrom Liverpool, with a cargo of 1,950tons of general merchandise consignedto T. H. Davies & Co., Ltd. She experi-enced fair weather all the way and,with the exception of a couple of rathersevere blows, was most fortunate. Thelast blew, which occurred a little afterrounding the Horn, did slight damage.One of the boats was smashed.

When oft port, the message was tele-phoned to the city that a ship off portwas making her way in with her flagat half-mas- t. It turned out upon ar-rival in port that this was not true.

However, there happened on the tripan accident most pitiful. It was inlatitude 4 N. and longitude 126 W.when an eighteen year old boy, anapprentice aboard, fell overboard andwas drowned, despite the efforts of theship's crew in his behalf. The youngman was at work far up on the bow.The captain and mate had only beenthere a moment previous when the cryof "man overboard" was heard.

No one saw the unfortunate fellowfall, but the man at the wheel sawhim drift by the ship and gave thealarm. Life buoys were thrown outbut all to no purpose. The ship hoveto and the life boat was sent out butnothing could be seen of the lad. Hewas unable to swim even a stfoke andmust have gone down as soon as hefell over the side.

The Western Monarch brought twostowaways who are now in custody atthe police station. They had no storywhatever to tell about themselves.They simply wanted to get away fromEngland. From circumstances that oc-

curred aboard the ship after her de-

parture, it is believed that the menhad friends aboard the ship who wereanxious to get them away from Eng-land.

Rapid Transit Charter Finds Favor.The Tram.

By error the name of Fred. J. Low- -

rey was emitted from the list of gen-

tlemen to whom the Legislature willbe requested to issue a charter for theHonolulu Rapid Transit Co., Ltd.There was talk all over town-yesterda- y

on the charter as presented in thispaper. There was very ready and gen-eral endorsement of several of thefeatures vesting control of the operation and construction of the line inthe Government and giving the Government the option of purchase afterten years. There was surprise in somequarters that the franchise was drawnon lines recognizing fully the claimsand rights of the people and Govern-ment. In this charter are the lowfares, the special rate for school child-ren, the provision for fenders and thelimited eminent domain privileges.

Mr. Paine, manager of the Tramwayssystem, is now active in the interestsof his company. He is urging thepassage of a new act to facilitate con-version from mule to electric powerand gives the assurance that this isthe intention of his company.

(1) . There are serious objections toadding another Lot the publicwait awhile.

Reply: If the people of Americawaited awhile for something better toturn up, there would be no electric carsystems in existence. The "plants" of1950 will be of course, vastly betterthan those of today.

(2) . The Tramways Company nowoccupies some of the best streets. An-

other company must take narrowstreets, with many disadvantages.

Reply: We must have rapid tran-sit. If we cannot do the best thing,let us do the next best thing.

(3) . Trolly lines disfigure.Reply: If compressed air, or other

motors are net sufficient, we must sub-

mit to the disfigurement as other com-

munities submit to it. We must haverapid transit and plenty of it.

(4) . Electric systems will injure thetelephone system.

Reply: Any electrical engineerknows that this can easily be prevent-ed.

(5) . There are many poor electriccar systems in the United States.

Reply: There are many very goodones. Let us have a good one.

(6) . Washington city has the under-ground electrical system.

Reply: That city has a populationof 270,000 and can afford it. We can-

not. It costs too much.(7) . If there is a new system allowed

If in the opinion of these merchants,there is really an opening for the saleto special consumers, of our coffee, itwould be a very wise and far seeingpolitical measure for the Governmentto push the matter with desperateenergy.

We do not advocate as yet the claimof any person or persons for a newfranchise. We must have better facili-

ties, and quick transit. The commun-

ity is desperate. The Tramways Com-

pany dumped down on us a lot of poorsecond-han- d material by some calledold junk and we are the sufferers.The community, often very unreason-able in its demands, has a just andreasonable complaint against this com-

pany. It has not made the best of itsopportunities. The vast amount of"water; in its system has handicappedit. Must the public suffer for it? Itnow asks the Legislature to give iteverything in sight, but it does notspecify what it will do, and we have,from experience, the right to suspectthat it may dump down on us anotherlot of old junk. An electric system islike a wagon. It may be a cheap Johnaffair, and be a nuisance. It may be

a well made affair and last indefinitely.The legal rights of the Tramways

Qompany must be protected of course.

That goes without saying. Instead ofmeeting the difficulties of the situationin a business-lik- e way, it will simplymake an unreasonable fight, and in theend will probably be beaten. It will

suffer, not from any public injustice,but from its own pig-headedn- ess infailing to meet the situation.

The Government will be politicallyfoolish if it does not settle this seriousmatter of transit now. It has an honestLegislature to deal with. If the matteris not settled at the present session of

the Legislature, the chances are thatthe next Legislature will make "catsand dogs" of it. It will become a richmine for boodle, and the communitywill pay roundly for it.

Honolulu Society Appears at aTea and Reception.

One of the pretties: teas of the sea- - j

:s:n was given by Mr?. E. D. Tenneyanl Mrs. Xoonan at the home of Mrs.Tenney in Makiki yesterday afternoon,in honor of Mrs. Julian Monsarrat ofKapajjala and Mrs. J. Hubert Vos.There was a daintiness and charmabout the whole affair that distinguish-ed it from the general run of what areknown as afternoon teas. Usuallythese are so much like the affairs ofthe kind, given in the States withouta local touch. Such a thing cannotbe said of the tea yesterday afternoon.Something decidedly in keeping withthe atmosphere of this place was there.Of course there was the tea part ofthe affair but then there was besidesthis, a tropical coloring. Plants setabout in the spacious rooms and uponthe wide verandas were alternatedwith beautiful vases and bowls offlowers. The tea tables were set inthe dining hall and decorated, for themost part, with pansies. Young ladiesin dainty costumes waited or theguests.

The Quintette Club was present andafter about an hour cf the receptionhad passed, the younger people cf thegathering indulged in dancing. Hap-piness was on all sides and when theaffair came to an end. there were ex-

pressions of regret. The function hadbeen one of the most successful of theseason. In all there were some twohundred people present, these beingthe representatives of Honolulu soci-ety.

NEW MAUI MAN.

Was a Prominent Resident of SanFrancisco Many Years.

Theodore H. Macdonald, for the pastthirty years a resident of San Francisco and for nearly 12 years chief en-

gineer of the Edison Light and PowerCompany, resigned his position andis on Maui, accompanied by his wife,where he has accepted a responsibleposition with the Hawaiian Commer-cial and Sugar Company. Mr. Macdo-nald, says a Coast paper, is a popularman in several fraternal societies anda past master Mason, and at a meetingof Golden Gate Lodge, No. 30, F. &A. M., after the degree had been con-ferred, Past Master William S. Mosesarose, and in a happy and interestingmanner, complimented Mr. Macdonaldfor his sterling qualities, and on behalfcf the lodge presented him with a mag-nificent diamond-se- t past master'sjewel for his watch chain. Both thegentleman and his wife have a largecircle of friends who wish them welland a successful business career forMr. Macdonald in his new home.

Racing Arrangements.The promoters of the extra Kapio-la- ni

Park track race meeting to beheld on the afternoon of the 19th inst.,are confident that by that date theweather will be settled and that theywill have a fair day. The programis certainly an attractive one. Pursesworth contesting for have been hungup and the best horses of all classesthroughout the Islands are in trainingand will be entered. For many yearsnot half so much general interest hasbeen taken in a race meet. In addi-tion to the trotting, running and pac-ing races there will be two bicyclenumbers. The best professionals willstart in one and the leading amateursin the other. It is not believed thatthere will be any chances for disputesin these events. The track is now infirst-cla- ss condition.

Joseph Seabury.Joseph Seabury, nearly 70 years of

age, died at an early hour yesterdaymorning at his home on Liliha street.He had been a resident of Honolulunearly half a century and was ratedas an upright and honorable citizen,fair and open in all his dealings andof a kindly, charitaible disposition.Mr. Seabury came to this portion ofthe world as a whaler. He was a na-tive of one of the Portuguese coloniesin the Western Ocean. The pioneer issurvived by his mother, who at theage of 90 is a resident of Brazil, andby daughters and sons well knownin the community.

The funeral will be held at 9 o'clockthis morning from the Roman Catho-lic Cathedral.

College Base Ball.The third game of the Inter-scholast- ic

series between Kamehameha andPunahou, will take place on the Makiki baseball grounds on Saturday afternoon. Satisfactory arrangementshave been made with both the BaseballAssociation and the Y. M. C. A. so thatno admission will be charged.

The Inter-scholast- ic championshipseries is for "best three games in five"'and as Punahou has won two, sheneeds but one more for the championship to be hers. Both the previousgames have been close and as Kamehameha is straining every nerve for Saturday, the game promises to be abattle-roya- l.

Two Ouartettes.At midnight last night there were

eight sailors in the police station cells,all arrested after dark. All werecharged with drunkenness and four orfive of the lot with disturbing the peaceand engaging in affrays. For a coupleof hours there were frequent outbreakson Nuuanu street between Hotel andMerchant of noise incident to drunkenbrawls. Three of the men refused toquiet down even after in the jail andkept, up singing and shouting.

The Band.Miss Annie Kanoho, the soprano so

loist of the Government band is stillindisposed. Unless she is entirely recovered by next Monday evening, Captain Berger will present a substitutesinger.

The band had its "Sunday" yesterdayand will play today, a rehearsal beingcalled for 10 o'clock this morning.

v gestions On Systems.

Streets That Are Desirable-Obj- ec

tions to Overhead TrolleyWires.

MR. EDITOR: While it is desirablethat Honolulu should have a betterstreet car system, it is far from certain that any of the plans recentlysuggested should be adopted.

There are serious objections to theplan of establishing another system inaddition to the one in operation. Therecertainly is force in the view that itwould be much better, if necessary,for the public to wait awhile, and laterto take steps which would result inhaving one good, complete system.

The Hawaiian Tramways Companyhas a franchise, and the right to usecertain of the streets best adaptedto car lines. If any one will examineany of the plans proposed for anothercompany, and note the streets throughwhich the cars will have to pass, it willbe seen that such plans are open tograve objections. Many of the streetsare so narrow that their use by carsrunning at a high rate of speed willrender them almost useless for othervehicles.

Furthermore, the use of any of theordinary trolley systems with overhead wires will not only add to thedisfigurement of the city, but will injure the telephone system which hasalready been so impaired by the elec--ric light and power lines.

In many of the cities and townsof the United States the electric carsystems are very poor; the poles andwires being unsightly and the serviceimperfect and dangerous. In Washington City the telegraph, telephone, electric car and electric light and powersystems are very complete, but not anelectric pole or wire is to be seen ex-

cepting in the outskirts of the city.All such wires are carried underground. The compressed-ai- r system isalso being adopted in some places,which obviates the using of poles andover-hea- d wires.

Whenever an electric-ca- r system isestablished in Honolulu, the plant andrights of the Tramways Companyshould be acquired, and a plan adoptedfor one complete system of the bestype. Should another system be added

to the one now in operation, the situation will become still more complicated, and the obstacles in the way ofobtaining a really desirable system,under proper public control, will bemultiplied.

The following extracts from the Outlook of February 12th, 1898, are sug-gestive and deserving of carefulthought.

WILLIAM O. SMITH.Honolulu, March 8, 1898.

(Extracts from Outlook of February12, 1898.)

"The report submitted to the Massachusetts Legislature last week by thecommittee appointed to consider therelations between cities and towns andstreets railway companies is a notablecontribution to the discussion of thissubject. The chairman of the committee is Charles Francis Adams; theother members are W.W. Crapo and ex-iMay- or Elihu B.Haves of Lynn. Mr. Adams conducted personally the investigation in Europe on the part of the committeewhile Messrs. Crapo and Hayes visited about 20 cities in this country andCanada. The recommendations of thecommittee came in the form of twobills. One of them puts upon the streetrailway companies a certain portion of.the expense of paving and alteringstreets, and requires them to pay astate tax of an amount equal to whatever they may pay over eight per centin annual dividends. Local taxationin the cities and towns is to be on asliding scale according to the gross receipts per mile of track. Power toregulate fares is given to the localauthorities, with an appeal by the corporation to the railroad commission-ers. The second bill provides for municipal ownership of the tracks, butnot for municipal operation of the business. In the second bill is found theessential recommendation of the re-port. The committee is distinctlyagainst municipal ownership and operation by a corporation. It denies thatmunicipal operation has been so successful in Europe as has been com-monly reported. It says that 'at thepresent time the municipalization ofthe street railways is not accepted asby any means indisputably desirablein Great Britain, while in Germany itis regarded unfavorably.' In Germany,however, it adds, the objection is thatthe existence of so many public em-ployees, in addition to those now onthe list, would lead to over-muc- h off-icialism.

"The fundamental proposition laiddown by the committee is that streetcars are simply improved omnibusesrunning on an improved pavement.This idea is at the basis of the recom-mendation that the municipality ownthe tracks and license a corporation torun the cars upon them. The municipality in that case, keeps the controlof the streets just as it always hasdone. It has a right to impose termsupon the licenses, and to demand that,after reasonable profits have beenmade, the public should have some benefit from the receipts of the company.The practical difficulties in the wayof entire municipalization of the service are reviewed, particularly the factthat the tracks of one company sometimes lie in many different municipalities, and harmonious operation under municipal management would bevery complex. By the plan proposed,there is a large recognition of therights of the municipality. The committee would give the municipalitiesthe right to buy in existing street railway track at the cost of replacing it,and to construct new track or extensions as the public convenience maydictate. If the public owns the tracksbids for street car service may besecured from competing companies.

Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur-chased from you is giving us satisfaction. Weare using it to plow under a crop of lupins. Theyare three feet high and very thick. Your plowturns them completely under, at the same timeplowing the land fourteen inches deep.

I feel satisfied that with this plow the draftfor the same quantity and depth of work is as6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the samework, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow ittakes pnly 6 and they are less tired at night.

Please send me another plow by first schoonerleaving for this.

You are at liberty to use this in any way youmay see fit. Yours truly,

Saturday evening, Janaury 29th, aparty of eight left the city for a triparound the Island on bicycles. Thelist was made up of some of the lead-

ing wheels represented here, amongthem a '97 Overland Specjal which ishandled by the HONOLULU BICYCLECO The Overland was the only wheelin the lot which made the trip withouttrouble of any kind. OVERLANDSare the kind of wheels that take youaway from home, and bring you backagain.

By the last Australia, we received afew samples of the '98 OVERLANDS.They are as much superior to the '97product as daylight is superior todarkness, and are without any excep-

tions, the most beautiful models, andthe highest grade wheels ever shownhere for anything near the price whichwe shall sell them $65. We defy allcompetition, even at a much higherfigure.

GOOD SHOES are health producers. Poor fittingones not only torture the feet but look badly. Think of thiswhen you start out to buy them. We show you nothing butwhat a first-clas- s store ought to have, and our assortment ofstyles comprises everything desirable. Our prices are thelowest. We pick the good things out of the world's library ofremunerative facts. And can view with complacency the fee-ble attempts of eager rivals to counteract our successes.

Police Officers and Sailors In aSmart Scrimmage.

Harry Evans and Jim Kupihea ofthe water front police had an excitingexperience yesterday forenoon. Twovery tough sailors of the Mauna Aladeserted ship a short time before thatvessel left the Pacific Mail wharf forSan Francisco. Captain Smith signedTom Patterson and another man im-

mediately as he had no time to waste.It was about 10 o'clock and the Ma-

una Ala was just on the point of sail-ing when Evans and Kupihea saw thetwo men peeping over the lumberpiles near by, to get a view at theirdeparting ship. The officers approach-ed the piles from different directionsand made a run at the men, each tak-ing one. Kupihea's man, seeing him-self cornered, ran at the officer witha knife, but just a lunge was made,the spry police officer tripped thesailor up and secured his hands. Theother man had torn the buttons offEvan's coat but he too was secured andthe two were marched to the ship.

Just as they got to the edge of thewharf, they broke from the officers andjumping into the water, swam to theMauna Ala which was bow out, readyto start. Upon climbing aboard, theCaptain cried to the officers to havethe men removed. A message was sentup for three more policemen. Arriving at the wharf they, in companywith the other two, went aboard.

The men were fortified in the forecastle and were armed with capstanbars. Evans took the lead and rushedat the men with a policeman's club.Kupihea followed and with a numberof well aimed blows sent sailors andcapstan bars flying in different direc-tions. The men were then handcuffedand literally hauled from the shipwhich a short time before, they hadbeen so willing to leave. They arenow In custody at the police station.

I have been afflicted with rheuma-Is- m

for fourteen years and nothingseemed to give any relief. I was ableo be around all the time, but constant- -y suffering. I had tried everything I

could hear of and at last was told totry Chamberlain's Pain Balm, whichI did, .and was immediately relievedand in a short time cured. I am happyo say that it has not since returned.OSH. EDGAR, Germantown, Cal. For
