Russin and China.

A telegram from Europe, received by late
mail states that there is some probability of war
between Russia and China. The Chinese gov.
eminent has for some time past been concentrate
ing troops on her north western frontier in Cen.
trail Asia. Some trouble is reported to have
arisen between China and the province of Kash-
gar. and il Russia gets mixed up in it, it will be
as the ally of the latter. The city of Kasbgar
lies at the extreme western boundary of China,
bat within the Empire. On the map it will be
found located in north latitude age and east
longitude "a e-nearly four hundred miles east
Of the city of Khiva, where the last Russian
war was 10 1873. 1t is not improbable that
Russia may become entangled 10 this affair." as she
is aiming to be the arbiter Of all feuds 10 Central
Asia, and will some day absorb every inch Of
territory north Of the latitude Of the city of
Pekin. The following is the Telegram referred to

ing boilers and engine, nearly every thing was
ruined or damaged.
The origin Of the FIRE is a matter purely Of con-
lecture. The most plausible theory so far as
have learned, is that spark probably fell from
the pipe of some nightwalk into the rubbish
about the building.
1t is not credible that the diabolieal hand Of an
incendary was in the mischief Mr.. Kinds is
an unusually kind-hearted mln in his dealings
with employees, whether Hawaiian or foreign.
This reputation he has uniformly borne since he first
came among us have heard aught against
him from the mouth Of any Of our people, aud TO
say this is to state hat eau be averred Of few men
any where on the Islands. The pecuniary loss in
volved in. this calamity will not fall far short Of
$4,000. That is the cost Of reproducing the esab-
lshment it stood before the fire cannot, it is
thought, be much below that figure.
The entire community is in strong sympathy with
Mr.. Kinds, under this crushing disappointment and
loss, and one of the first things thought of and put
in execution among the native population, was the
starting of subscription among themselves simply
to show their aloha to the sufSerer. E.B

Sugar Will Burned nj KohaIa,

At midnight Of the 2lst and 22d inst. the new
sugar mill building Of Mr.. R. R. Kinds, with all
its appurtenanees, was burned to the ground.
Circumstances attending the calamity render the
blow peculiarly heavy one to DO borne.
For months Mr.. Kinds has toied with rare
skill and versatility of adaptation, to perfect his
appliances for the manufacture Of sugar, and so
far as human sngacity could determine. with the
most hopeful prospect Of success. The large
building was just about completed, as well as the
necessary outbuidugs. and the owner was taking
honest pride in the work OF his hands, as it stood
nearly ready for occupation before him.
Late on Monday few hours previous to the
6re.-he had all the rubbish cleared up, so that
there should be no danger from stray sparks

from every point. But few minutes past mid
night he was aroused from sleep and found his
property and his hopes destroyed. The FIRE had

and in few minutes broad sheet Of flames en-

please-we join issue with our contemporary as to
the choice of Minister who should be empowered
to reconstruct a Cabinet; and say that the po-
ltcal record of the Minister of Law gives US far
better assurance of executive ability and admins
trve success than that of the Minister of the In
terror"
All who know the inside history of the late
Legislature. know that Run alone Influenced the
votes of our Representatives" and controlled
the turbulent spirits in it, after the dissolution OF
the first cabinet of the King and the retirement of
Messrs Hartwell and Widemann, who, to their
honor be il said, would not and did not stoop to
the employment of such means And this con-
troll of the rowdy part of the Assembly was only
accomplished at a cost of not far from thousand
dollars spent for lunches including beers and
stronger drinks. Now if the AdUertiseI' intends
to assert that this the Minister referred to alone
supplied" it Is welcome to the strong point made
in its argument. 1t was not from any political
force or higher character that the present Min
lister of Law possessed over his predecessor,
that exercised controlling Influence in the
Legislature, but simply because the latter would
not encourage any attempt to control the turbu-
lent members by pandering to their appetites
1t was only after the first cabinet of the King was
broken up that free lunches we're provided and
spirituous, not political, force controlled the
Legislature. 1t was not any Wanted political
force or executive ability that controlled :"
the assembly and influenced the legislation of our
Representatives" during the last of the session.
but the powerful influence ofrum. And this inau-
ence is spreading from day to day, from city to
hamlet, among the people-the masses we
mean" and working like damning plague to the
destruction of the best portion of the Hawaiian
race.
Heaven protect the nation from any long con-
tinuance Of such political force and such un-
rivaled executive ability" as was witnessed
during the last session of the National Assembly,
too many of the members of which returned to
their homes debauched with the excessive use Of
Intoxicating drinks. In any reconstruction of
the Cabinet the first demand of the people will
be the selection of men whom the people-the
masses, we mean can respect, and who will
bring strength to the government, and honor

We omitted to refer in our last issue to the
publication in the Adrertlser of what purported
to be diary of the Kings progress around Ha-
waii and Maui, announced as having been written
by correspondent Of that paper. After full in
quiry, we find that the Ad0er4iseT sent no cor
respondent on that tour, and the alleged diary"
was evidently cooked by some sensation monger,
to fill that papers columns. Whoever prepared
the article shows plainly that his chief object was
to injure the native newspaper Kuokoa, and
what he says concerning it is wholly without
foundation or truth, as nothing has appeared in
it TO justify the statement made. Whoever be

Political Force VS.. Personal
Record

No one can be surprised at anything that ap-
pears nowadays in the AdDsrtiSer, and conse-
quently its leader on a reconstructed calumet
SANDER uttered against the foreign community
which supports that paper, and which it would
have the outside world believe Is made up of little
else than refugees from justice and persons Of
doubtful character. This is unmisiakably the
import Of its language. Now we repel this
charge as wholly grOnndless, uncalled for and
untrue. Because half dozen men Of doubtful
character may have wormed themselves into pub
lie notice, as Bobemians and politicians affords no
reason why this whole community should be
placed in the same category. Bot we leave this
portion Of its lender to the tender mercies of a
correspondent who handles it without gloves.
We should have preferred to drop this sub
ject, but the position taken by our contemporary,
in awarding unbounded praise to the " Law Ad-
wiser of the Grown" and crediting him with
whatever measures the Legislature may have
passed, is downright insult to the good sense of
the community, and cannot be allowed to pass
without comment. That paper remarks:
''Now in making discrimination in the considera-
ton Of individual members of the Government, we
cannot charge any lack Of ability upon the Law Ad
wiser OF the Crown, inasmuch as our contemporary
fully susains that officer emnenti in his profession
and as having satisfactorily fulfilled public duties

recent writer commenting on English politics,
was that he never looked around among his
younger followers for recruits. He perpetualy

day came when the bins were empty, or when
what was found in them was worthless. One of

TX our last issue, we stated that the despatch
received by His Excellency the American Minis
ter from his government, invited His Majesty to
visit Washington. Such, we are informed, is not
tie case, but it simply places the U. S. Ship Be-
nicia at His service, whenever He may wish to
go. Some objection has been raised to His Maj
estys starting at SO early a date as has been
named, owing to the severity of the winter in
America and it is not improbable that His visit

REGARDING the discussion about the Supreme

court will be disposed of before the Chief Justice
leaves on his mission to Washington, which will
probably not extend over four or FIVE months,
and as the second associate justice is expected
back next month, leaving two judges on the
bench, one of whom acts as Chancellor, it is
hardly probable that any case can come up, the
