To the Editor ofhe Pacific Commercial .Adreriser:
SIR The recent appropriation by the Legisla-
ture for the extention of King Street towards
Kapiolani Park, recalls to mind the freely Circulated
Subscription list throughout the city several months
since for this same object. Quite a sum Of money
was collected. but so far as l can learn, nobody
seems to know what has become of it. If you can
throw any light on the subject you will greatly
oblige A SUBSCRIBER.

LATER FROM THE ARCTIc-By private letter re-

on Monday last) we have dates from the Arctic to
July 22nd. At that time the Rainbow. Capt. Cogan,
had taken 1I36 barrels of oil, Is 900 lbs. bone,
and 900 lbs. ivory, which she shipped on board
the Syren at St. Lawrence Bay, for this port and
home. After trans-shipping her oil and bone, the
Rainbolo started, a clean ship, for PoiRt Barrow,
and has q 6ne prospect. with Capt. Cogan's in
variably good success, Of making one of the best

The London Standard announces that the
acquisition of a harbor and coaling station in the
Sandwich Islands having greatly increased the in
fuence of the United States in the Pacific it has
been considered advisable that q British man-of-
war shall always be stationed to represent the
British flag near these islands" This to US at the
Islands is an amusing illustration of how little is
known TO US out here in the mid-Pacifc. We have
no objection however to a British man-ofwar being
always stationed at Honolulu, and would rather
like it, from past experience.

LIVING IN GLASS HOCsEs.-It Is q well known
fact that the Chinese here. in preparing rice for
market. largely use broken or powdered glass.
This is during the process Of cleaning of the husk
and polishing. Everybody admires onr pearly
Hawaiian rice, and many eat it with more or less
Of patriotic sentiments, but in go doing they don't
realize that they are putting into their delicate
intestines ground glass. We have heard it limited
that deaths have actually occurred in this city from
eating Hawaiian rice polished by broken glass.
The Chinese themselves don't eat that kind of rice,
but prefer the less good looking article.
The Y. 7. Tribune says the heavy tide of passer-

four months has been unprecedented the total num-
Der carried on seventy-fve steamships, represented
by eleven different lines, between April 4 and Aug.
/, being 20, 1888, against 1908 in 1872 and 1888
in 1873, the two heaviest seasons heretofore. The
experience of the present year has shown that the
existing steamship lines are able, with the use Of re-
serve boats, to transport double the number of pas
sengers now carried, the facilities for travel being
claimed as always in excess Of the demand. The
eleven companies engaged in the trade employed
during the season seventy-fve steamers, which made
one hundred and sixty-eight trips.

A perfectly correct report OF the dam
ages caused by the tornado of the 18th,
was of course not Obtainable, as many of
the sufferers have hardly found out the
full extent Of their losses.
Mr.. Fluker west Of the CITY, had his
barn, not his house, blown down.
Mr.. Osborn, son-in-IAw OF N. W. Kir-
kendall, was at home when his house was
destroyed.
Mr.. Elliot Davis, miles south OF the
city, sustained heavy damage, consisting
mainly in the loss OF several hundred
fruit trees, 55 acres OF wheat, Is sheep
aud lambs; the cultiVator was blown ov-
er a fence, and was found q distance Of
half a mile, the carriage was wrecked.
The house did not sustain much injury,
and served as a refuge for many who lost
their houses. % lodged there the first
night, among them the whole family Of
the Rev. j. Jones, who were sheltered
for 4 week while their houses were being
repaired.
Mr.. A. Aliens house was blown # Of
the foundation, but not much injured 9TH
erwise. His barn was torn to pieces, he
lost over 100 chichens and many fruit
trees. His house was also q refuge for
many uniortunates.
Mr.. K. J. Evans sustained heavy loss
upon his house and orchard. They were
also the inmates Of MIR. Davis house.
Edward Evans house was injured, and
his sheds all destroyed, besides many
fruit trees and fences.
| A house not before reported by any
paper as damaged, was the one on Hrs.
Thomas farm, across the creek from John
1. Price, on Dry creek. 1t was tenanted
by Michael Flannery, wife and i've boys,
and was = story and a half house, 16 by
30 feet, the lower part being Of stone to
the height Of eight feet, and the upper
part Of wood. The frame part was torn tc
pieces, and nearly all the contents de.
stroyed, the family seeking shelter for g
few days in Mr.. OVENS stone house until
they got their wrecked domIcile rooted
over again. They came here from Wis
eonsin Feb. %. but Mr.. Flannery propos
es to stick It out anyhow.
d It seems that the storm did touch thC
earth Rt some spots between Cottonwood

Consistency.

EDITORS OF THE NEws:-I notice a
short article in your last Issue over the
signature of S., In which am charged
with being one of the leaders in the late
indignation meeting, and with having
acted inconsistency with certain declara-
lions which the writer attributes to me.
1t is easy to erect q man of straw and
then Valiantly demoiish him. In the first
place was 10 no proper sense one f the
leaders on that occasion. 1t would be diff
ieult indeed TO conceive of leadership
where all Were so intensely earnest and
Indignant. did remark to Mr.. j. D.
Gum division superintendent of the A.,
T. & S. F. railroad, (and possibly to
cthers) that 1 would not officially inter
fere in any dispute or difficulty which
might exist between the managers of the
road and their employees. That, so far as
was concerned, they must procure such
remedies as the law furnishes indi-
Viduals in like cases. That no arbitrary
arrests would be made by my authority,
and in this connection, and In this senses
1 may have used the flgurative expires
sion, 'you must fight your own battles.'
In this interview with Mr.. Gum, and on
other occasions, distinctly and repeat
eddy stated that my official power would
be exerted to its fullest extent, If 1t should
become necessary, In preventing any
breach Of the peace or the destruction OF
property, and the property OF the railroad
within my Jurisdiction, should receive
the same protection as other property, no
more or less. I also said there had been
no riot or any demonstration towards
riot, within the city limits, nor did /
believe there would be any unless pro-
Voked by some injudicious conduct on the
part Of the managers Of the road. Yet,
notwithstanding these views, did, as a
matter OF extreme precsution, put on
duty an additional force Of police, with
special instructions to watch and guard
the property of tbs railroad. This force
was kept on duty until such precaution
became so manifestly unnecessary, that |
deemed 1t wrong to burden the city with
its further continuance. It may not be
entirely irrelative to state that did mol
for moment entertain the extravaganza
fears expressed to me by the railroad of.
ficials that were here at that time con-
corning the strikers, that our city would
be In ashes; that we would have a second
Pittsburg on our hands; that nothing
could save them but the immediate arrest
Of the strikers; that we owed the A., T
3 s. Fe railroad great debt of gratitude
for all It had done for us, etc. The fac
that not the slightest disturbance or in
Jury to property occurred within the city
limits, shows that my judgement was cor
rect, and there was no basis for til,
absurd fears expressed by the railroad
company. J. 8. WATSON.

Our Senator.

Ex-Attorney-General Williams,
of this State, who has lately made
q business trip to WashiugtoD,
though not given to "much praise
of any body, speaks very highly OF
our Senators.
He unhesitatingly stated 10 Prem
tbs that he thought Senator ingalls,
had done more to make Kansas res
pectable than all our previous con-
gressional delegations put together.
A gentleman in his manners, 8
scholar in his language, he is, with
al. a master OF verbal fence; and
his sentences are sharp, bright and
quick as the thrust of q rspier.
When this sort of mental activity
is called for, SIR. Williams doubts
If Mr.. ingalls, has his superior in
the Senate. The impression, per-
haps naturally drawn from this,
that Mr.. Ingalls, is caustic and cyn-
ical in private life, Mr.. Williams
says is far from correct. No more
courteous gentleman sits in the
Senate of the United States.
Mr.. Williams expressed great
confidence in the outcome of SeRa-
tor Plumb. He felt certain that the
qualities he has displayed in his
past life-energy. perseverance, and
square sense-wou.d stand him in
good stead in his present position.
He is sincere man, and those who
meet him can rely on his saying
what he thinks.

Many parties IN the country are not
aware of the present reduced rates OF fire
insurance, as we are told that some have
lately taken policies at the old premium
rates. The best way is TO first ascertain
what the standard rates really are, and
ave paying an unnecessary amount. Mr..
A. N. Hanna issues policies in four of
the very best and largest fire insurance
companies in the world, viz: Liverpool,
London & Globe, assets nearly $50, geo 900
surplus, $4,000, 900; Royal of Liverpool,
assets $40, 600, 600; Phenix of Hartford, as
sets s., $780, 600; Fire Association Of Phila-
delphia, assets over So, 750, 900. These four
companies have total assets of about $685.
900, 600. This shows the ample security
MIR. Hanna can offer in the way of fire
insurance. He is an agent of many years
experience, accommodating to every body,
and we recommend his agency to all who
wish reliable insurance at the lowest rates
offered by reliable companies.
