The Australian Wall Service.

The Governments of New South Wales and
New Zealand, acting together, have invited
tenders in London for permanent steam mail
service ria San Francisco to replace the pres
ent temporary one. The bids are to embrace
II, IL =, and IL knot service. The contract
ors have to tender for three routes-namely,
one embracing New South Wales and New Zea-
land, calling at Honolulu and Kandavu
another embracing the same places, but leaving
out Honolulu and third in which all the
stipulations of the first are contained, with the
addition of requiring the contractors to convey
the mails from Auckland, Napier, Wellington,
and Lyttleton to Port Chalmers, and rice UerSd
The European Mail says: Looking at the
cost and the important nature of the service to
he worked, it is evident that none but irst-class
companies can undertake the work, so that it is
just possible that the special commission will
not be troubled with many tenders from which
to make selection" The tenders were to have
been sent in by the 23d March, but it was re-
ported that none had been received up to that
date.
In addition to above facts, which we gather
from American papers, we understand that la
ter advices state that three tenders have been
made, one each from the P. g. o. Company, the
White Star Line of Liverpool and New York,
and the Australian Steam Navigation Company
of Sydney. Theliberal subsidy offered $780,
900 per annum for ten years-will certainly Sc
a. e Al
with boats built specially for the route. The
P. g. o. Company are understood to be quite
anxious to secure the contract

McCloskey, and at the close handed him a
brief, authorizing him to confer the beretta on
this newly appointed Prince of the Church.
The Archbishop having replied in Latin, pass
ed the brief over to Father Mclean, Deacon
of Massachusetts, who then read it. Count
Marefoschi then surrendered the beretta to
Monsignor Ronsetti, who handed it to Arch
bishop Bailey, who then walked over to the
Cardinal and placed the cap on his head, at the
same time addressing him in Latin as Eme-
nentia tua." The Cardinal made suitable
reply, also in Latin, and after intoning "Te
Deum," and retiring to the vestry, put on the
crimson robes of his Office and returned to the
altar, while the choir sang "Te Deum''.
Just before intoning the "Te Deum," Car
dinal McCloskey Unexpectedly commenced an
address in English, saying he had two duties
to perform: First, to return thanks to the pa
pal delegates and people, who had attended in
such numbers. He continued, cit is also our
duty to make Acknowledgements to you, vener-
able brethren and prelates; to you, the rev.
erend clergy; to you, distinguished officials for
State and city; to all-for the honor that has
been conferred upon us by your presence here
this day." At the close of the hymn the Car
dinal gave the pontifcal benediction, the cere-
monies were ended, and the congregation
passed out of the cathedral.

THE two murders on Hawaii, of which
we give a report to-day, like the two previous
ones, are attributable mainly to the use of in
toxicating drink. That in Hamakua is said to
have been witnessed by several spectators,
themselves perhaps under its influence. In the
sparsely-populated and woody districts of that
island, it may be difficult to ferret out and con-
vict the vendors, and check the traffic, owing
to indifference on the part of the authorities to
see the prohibitory law ngidly executed. The
fact that the indolent natives of the islands will
obtain intoxicating drinks when they can, and
that their disposition when intoxicated is to
commit crimes, shows clearly what we might
expect, if their use was unrestricted. Even with
the partial enforcement of the taboo, rum is dig
ging the grave of the Hawaiian race. And
yet, some contend that 90 it is noble and manly
to drink rum" and that it is weak and ignoble
to shun it. The reverse is really the truth
and no man who cares for the perpetuation of
the native race will assis: to supply him with
the damning, body and soul-destroyiDg poison.

THE reported grant of license to sell liquor
on Maui has created some sensation the past
week, chiefly as new departure from the old
order of things by which the licensed sale of
spirits has been restricted to this city. Onin-
quiry we learn that an application was made by
gentleman named Ford, for jobbing license
to be located at Waikiki on Maui, and after le-
gal advice, it was decided that he could have
it on filing the usual bonds. Subsequently this
decision was reversed, or at all events remains
in allegiance. The amount of the annual license
fee is $3.50

THAT the granting of such license, though
nominally jobbing one-would practically be
a retail license, is admitted by all. The effect
would be to legalize the traffic in spirits on the
island of Maui; and if on that island, why not
extend it to Hawaii, Molokai and Kauai-in
short entirely break down the slight barriers
that remain to check the free use of rum among
all classes. That this is the present tendency,
no one can deny. But that it can be carried
out without an earnest protest, is not so clear.
A resident of Maui has distinctly stated that
rather than see such license granted there, he
would cheerfully pay the amount of the license,
or even a thousand dollars. The disorder that
would follow the free use of rum, would render
it impossible to retain laborers, and to conduct
plantations. This, we think, is the view which
most planters, who have most at stake in the
matter, will take of it,

The Latest about the Lick Estate.

The trustees of this estate have taken it into
court, and filed complaint against Mr.. Lick,
praying that they may be allowed to resign
and that other trustees be appointed in their
places. Their petition is in substance as fol-
lows:
Wherefore the plaintiffs pray that this honora-
BILE Court will by its judgment and decree: First
Accept the several designations of these plaintiffs.
econd-Appont Trustees in the place and stead of
the plaintiffs. Third-Settle adjust and determine
the account of these plaintiffs as such Trustees
Fourth-AIlow and direct these plaintiffs to pay
to such succeeding Trustees the net balance OF
cash remaining in the hands of the plaintiffs after
dedUcting all lawful disbursements and proper al
lowances. Fifth-Allow and direct these plaintiffs
TO transfer and deliver to such succeeding Trustees
all of the said trust property remaining in their
hands, real personal and mixed, and effects of every
kind belonging and appertainng to said trust, and
TO make all necessary and proper deeds of convey
ance, to divest these plaintiffs of all of said
trust property and the title thereto and fully invest
such succeeding Trustees with the same. Sixth
Discharge these plaintiffs entirely from the said
trust aud all duties imposed on them under and by
virtue of the said deeds above referred to. And the
plaintiffs further pray that they may have such fur
Their and other relief is meet in the premises and
agreeable to equity"
This proceeding renders it certain that
complicated and tedious maze of litigation is
destined to envelop, and not impossibly in the
end consume, the Lick Estate. There are
able counsel employed on both sides, and both
sides are confident as to the correctness of
their positions. Should the resignation of the
present Trustees be accepted, it would be diff
cult, perhaps impossible, to persuade others to
assume the office, in the light of recent devel-
opments, and though it does not follow that
the estate would revert to the donor, it would
probably in such an event be alienated from
the public benefactions to which it was origi-
nally devoted. 1t is on the whole a very great
pity that Mr.. Lick should have made so daring
an experiment, and should he die before the
ensuing litigation is decided, the charitable
purposes of his later life will, it is feared be
altogether frustrated Meanwhile the Trustees
nave apparently pursued the only means con-
'istent with prudence and due regard to their
own responsibilities.

WEDNESDAY, MAYl2.

THEIR MAJEsTIEs THE KING AND QUEEN
returned from Hilo on Sunday morning in the
steamer Kilauea, and were saluted on landing
by the war vessels Pensacola and Arcona with
royal salutes and manned yards. Their stay
at Hilo was very short, only one day, but they
were received by the citizens of that place
with every mark of loyalty. After learning
that the German war steamer Arcona had ar
rived here Unexpectedly, His Majesty decided
at once to return to the metropolis, and greet
his naval guests-the first ship of the German
Empire that has ever visited this kingdom.
THE reception given by His Majesty on
Monday to Baron Won Reibnitz and the officers
of the German corvette Arizona, was most
cordial one. The addresses, though short,
express sentiments of cordial good feeling,
and desire on the part of the German En-
peror and Government to see our kingdom
prosper. 1t is somewhat singular that, when
so considerable portion of our foreign popu-
lation consists of Germans, this should have
been the first visit here of national ship of
that empire. As her navy is now largely in
creased, these visits will probably be more
frequent in future. The two exhibitions of
Prussian military tactics given here by the
officers and marines of this ship, during her
stay in port, will cause her visit to be long and
favorably remembered.

This Is not only a pleasant, readable book,
but seems 20 be Trustworthy and complete
In its information. Altogether, Ii affords the
reader the best insight into the present con-
dition of The Inhabitants OF the vast Chinese
Empire that has yet been supplied. A great
addition is made to the value of the book by
the numerous engravings from sketches and
photographs taken by the author, and these
engravings are brought out with admirable
spirit by the publishers. This great empire
and its remarkable people are subjects of
constantly growing interest, especially since
the new relations entered upon by America
ard the European nations with Japan, and
anything written about them by an intelli-
gent observer like Mr.. Thomson Is quite sure
TO be eagerly read
