Special to the Star.
THE BELGIAN MISSION.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The Star of this
evening mentions as a candidate TOR the
Belgian mission Col. Goodloe, of Lex
ington, and Gen. E II. Murray, of LOU
lsvllle. 1t also states that Rev. Stuart
Robinson, OF Louisville, has written a
letter recommending ohm NJ. Harlan for
the vacant suprSme Court Judgeship.
Judge Bradley warmly urges the ap-
pointment of some one familiar with :he
civil law, which sugg stion IL thought to
he in the interest of Judge Hunt, of
Louisiana.
VIRGINIA PROBABLY DEMOCRATIC.
There seems to he no doubt that the
regular Democratic State ticket will be
chosen in Virginia, without serious op-
position. The friends OF readjustment
Of the State debt will, it is thought,
carry the Legislature by two.thirds
majority.
DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
A heavy rain storm did considerable
damage to the Interior Department.. The
entire North Hall, occupied by the
Patent Office, was flooded. The cell :
ing of the North Hall being expect
ed to fall, guards were stationed
to warn people of the danger. Busi-
mess in the Land-office was entirely sus-
pended, and the land records suffered
considerable. 1t is feared some of them
will be destroyed before they can be
placed In dry rooms.
The Fire at the Patent Office.
National Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 5.-The Commits
sion appointed to examine into the or
gin OF the recent Patent Office fire
closed the taking OF testimony yester-
day, and will submit it's report In a fe W
days to the Secretary Of the Interior.
A great many witnesses have been ex-
amined; the very general impression Of
the majority OF the Comm ssl0n 10 that
the fire was the work of an incendiary
or incendiaries. Photographic notes OF
the testimony will be written up as rap
!uly as pOSslDle, anu IL may De that
when all this is settled that \ different
conclusion will be arrived at, A portion
Of the testimony indicates that the.nre
originated through the flue in the west
wing OF the building, whereas there ls
an abundance OF proc that no fire was
made to connect with the flue on tue
morning OF the fire.
Judge Key Would Accept.
There is the best authority Tor the
stat tement that Judge Key will gladly
accept the place on the Bencn made va
cant by the death of Judge Emmons,
and that his friends have 50 Indicated
to the President.
Rev. Stuart Robinson, the great South
ern Presby yterlan divine, has written q
strong letter favoring the appointment t
Of Gen. John III. Harlan, of Kentucky,

Sabbath Breaking.

To the Editor of The Pacific Commercial Advertiser
SR-SectLon 2 Of Chapter 81 of the Penal Code
enacts
The Lords day Is taboo. All worldly bust
ness, amusements and recreation are forbidden
on that day and whoever shall keep open bis
shop, store, warehouse or workshop, or shall do
any manner of labor, business or work except
only works of necessity or charity, or be present
at any dancing, public amusement show or repre-.
sentation, or take part in any game, sport or play
on the Lords day shall be punished by 6ne not
exceeding ten dollars"
Section Q of Chapter Al Of the Code makes
other provisions with respect to Hotel keepers,
but excerpts ordinary supplies Of liquors on The
tables Of hotels and victualling houses.
The Legislature passed a resolution last Session
directing the Attorney General to enforce the
laws against Sabbath breaking.
But, Mr.. Editor, what did the public see last
Sabbath The steamer arrived, and for several
hours the streets were 1lled with drays and public
conveyauoes. Book Stores were open. and per-
sons after leaving their places of worship, stopped
their carriages in front Of the Stores and rushed in
to obtain their newspapers. And more especially
was this noticeable at one Store, kept and man.
aged by the sons of Missionaries who take credit
to themselves for Outstanding these Islands.
Everybody knoWb Wbat was uOlng AT tue aOtei,
owned by the Government, how liquors were sup
piled there the whole day.
But Mr.. Editor, l should not have troubled you
with this letter except for one thing. which hap.
pened On this very same Sabbath.
was present at the Police Court on Tuesday
morning, when a Chinaman was charged and Gned
one dollar and one dollar costs, for descecrating the
Sabbath.
His offence appeared to be this: last Sabbath he
shut up his house and painted the inside OF one
of his rooms, when some pious, God-fearing man,
with that spirit Of true Christian Charity with
which persons resident here are so familiar. in
formed against him and bis appearance at the
Police Court was the result,
t the sane time, as we are informed by last We'd
nesday's Gazette, the Christian Editor thereof was
interviewing a brutal prize-Gghter, and examining
the trophies given to him as prizes for bruising
and dis6guring the faces of his fellow men.
Mr.. Editor, must not the public Org shame on
this people and the laws which they support? for
1 feel sure that should 1 or any other member OF
the Legislature attempt to repeal or amend this
law, a howl of pious Indignation would be heard
from Hawaii to Niihau.
Trusting that all evil doors will receive the
punishment merited, / am, yours, DC.
