Pulling out for dear life he quickly
reached the spot where the men
were swimming and picked up in
turn the Mate, the Fireman and
the Clerk. With these, he made

desperate struggle, reached the land
in safety.

the first boat had capsized the re-

that it struck upon the anchor
dropped by the crew and, by this
conclusion hole was stove in it's
bottom aud the craft began to fill.
The danger was increased by the
fact that the lighter was heavily
loaded with corn. In this emer-
gency the men fell to and threw
their load overheard. By this
means they managed TO keep afioat
and finally get over the bar to
smooth water when they rode in
comparative safety. They did not
manage to pick up any of the
drowning men, however.
Aside from the three men rescued
by Mcmillan, only one other man
aged to escape. That was Antonio
Silva, who, being a remarkably
good swimmer, held his own

The New Pope.

Joachim Pecci was born March ID, 1910. at Car
pimento of an ancient and illustrious family. He
first studied at the Roman College and on leaving
this was admitted to the " Noble Ecclesiastical Acad-
envy" where he paid great attention to the studies
of theology and law. The then Pontif Gregory
held him in high esteem. and in 1887 appointed
him one Of his - Domestic Prelates." In this posi-
ton he displayed rare tact and judgment, and the
same Pope gave him the position of Apostolic
ProthOnOtary." In 1S48. MonsignOr Pecci was or
dained Archbishop of Damiette, and appointed
Papsl Nuncio TO the Court of Belgium; during this
mission he received the Grand Gordon of the Order
Of Leopold. In 1876. he was appointed to the See
Of PerOuse and named Cardinal, but Pope Gregory
XVI dying, his successor, Plus IX, formally invested
Monsignor Pecci with the Cardinals Hat, in Decem-
Der, 1858, and at the same time appointed him head
Of the Council of Rites aud Discipline, a position
which he occupied until his late elevation to the
Chair of Saint Peter.

We ARE requested to state, that unless ram
shall fall within three days, the Superintendent
of Water will be obliged to stop off the reservoir
water for a portion of the day-probably between
the hours of 10 a. m. and 3 P. IN. If the resi-
dents of the city could be persuaded to limit very
much. or forego altogether, the irrigation OF
yards and gardens, it would probably not be
necessary to stop the water except at night, az Is
now being done. But when in the first three
hours of the morning the reservoir is emPtied OF
five vertical feet of water, it becomes impossible
for the Superintendent to keep water enough on
hand to ensure the safety Of the city, or to sup
ply water for domestic purposes during the day
In the unprecedented drouth which we are now
su~ fering-and which has visited also all the
countries nelghboring to US on the south-lt be-

The Coming Monopolist.

To the Editor of Pacific Commercial Advertiser;
DEAR SIR:-I have read in your issue OF FEBRUARY
9th, a brief but pointed article on the apparent anu
probable currents into which the mercantile business
of these islands is sure to drift if things are allowed
to proceed as at present, and to me the wonder Is
that no one had called attention to the shame ana
disgrace before this time of day.
In all civilized countries the heather has TO con-
tent himself with q .s back seat as regards the mer-
camille business of the land of his adoption, but this
is to them the Promised Land nay, a very
Paradise " for the ~celestials. The writer arrived
in this country about two years ago. with the OBJECT
of starting q general retail business, but in going
through the streets and lanes Of Honolulu was SO sur
prised and discourage d at the sight OF Cinnamon
having such q firm hold on the business OF the CsPl-
tai that he abandoned the purpose there ana 'nen.
I next turned my attention to the other ISLANDS anu
found that every nook and corner there va" John
established firm as q rock, and independent az q
prince, and disposing Of rubbish at prices when ap-
peared to me quite unreasonable; but was informed
that if any white man were to dare oppose him In
business prices would instantly come down SO that
he could not meet expenses, consequently would have
to give up, when the monopoly prices would De lm-
mediately resumed.
1t is a well known fact that in this country bust
ness men require a liberal income to meet the many
and various calls on their means and substance; es-
pecia lily if they be heads of families, European or
American; and if mechanics and others were alive
to their own interests they would give the white
merchants their individual patronage and not grudge
them a fair percentage of profits on sales; because
they require it and the money thus gained is not
sent beyond seas or boarded up here, bat goes into
immediate circulation, and all classes of the COM
munity receive benefits therefrom indirectly. But
with the Chinese merchants the case is entirely diff
ferent, as they have no interest in the progress and
prosperity of this country or its institutions, except
to drain it of its resources-then leave it to the moles
and to the bats for anything they care.
This growing evil must be as clear as monday to
every thinking man in the country; and the question
arises, what is to be done in order to avert the CAL
amity which is approaching slowly but surely? The
voice of reason answers, take an example from the
Colonies which are " stamping out the %celestials as
was done in England with the 80 cattle plague ," some
years ago. Or watch the movements of the United
States Congress to combat the evils of Chinese mon
opoly which is bringing so much poverty and suffer-
ing on American citizens at the present time.
One course is open to the Hawaiian Government,
and that is to cripple the aspirations of Chinese mer-
chants by a system of taxation and license which
would take from them by force what others give will
ingly. READER

tect the guilty offenders, or discover sufficient
proof to lead to their conviction. This is espe-
cially the case as regards the Celestial ~violators
of the law, and their unscrupulous conduct in
this respect is another illustration of their unfit
ness as an increasing element among our people.
Knowing this last phase of the evil, we also
know how to combat it. Let the next Legisla-
ture, so far as the buying and selling Of liquor is
concerned, place the Chinaman on the same foot
ing as the native Hawaiian. There are no treaty
stipulations to deprive US of this right of self-pro-
lection. The Chinese Government protects, or
strives to protect, its people from the ravages of
opium shall We not try to protect our " peo-
pie from the ravages of gin? Prompt and de-
cided legislative action is the only way in which
the evil can be reached and we are prepared 20
advocate a law that shall infict upon every Of
fender a summary Punishment from the Islands,
and all legal expenses of trial, conviction, and
Punishment to be levied out of his own property,
if he has any. Such severity would be no COM
pensatiOn for the injury which be causes to the
public welfare.
The evil effects of the vicious use of opium,
which the Chinese have also impaired to some of
our Hawaiians, we do not touch upon at present.
This subject has been well ventilated in these
columns, heretofore and a recurrence to the
matter would be of sufficient importance to
justify the examination We intend to give it in a
short time.

Forests Burning.

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
Some few years ago a bill was introduced into the
Legislature, "For the better preservation of Woods
and Forests and was promptly disposed of amidst
not q little of "pooh-pooh"-i etc.
Said bill provided for q systematic superintendent
of woodlands and prompt, and severe punishment
for their wanton destruction.
Maui now proposes to urge the passage of some
Law that will effectually put a stop to the careless
ness of those who build fires in the dry grass on the
slopes of Haleakala, and thus preserve our invalua-
BILE woods. There has been a large fire burning in
the woods on the upper slopes of our grand noun
tain, during the whole of this month. Now, while
1 write, its columns of smoke can be seen rising
from the heavy timber, and where it will stop no one
can tell. We hear that the same thing is going on
on Hawaii, and we hope to have the support of
parties interested on that island to arrest the evil.

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SR:-In answer to my communication which
appeared in your paper of the 9th inst. a cores
pondent of the Gazette declares that on behalf of
the Sheriff of Maui, he is " warranted in stating
that 80 far as the prosecutions for working on the
Sabbath are concerned, = = r they were forced
upon him by the oath of parties who are alone re-
sponsible for instituting the suits" Now. however
possible it might appear that a common detective
or spy working for wages, and the tenure of whose
Office is the Sherif's good will. could force a prose-
cution against that will, it is nevertheless far from
the probable that he should. Informers as a gen
eral thing are peculiarly plastic beings, and
chosen rather for their ease in handling than for
any stubborn merit of their own and those who
6gured as witnesses in the case referred to. are
knC wn and acknowledged as minions who act by
instruction alone. The man who laid the informa-
ton is a constable, and the principal hacker of his
testimony one who fills several offices in govern
ment employ. And, if 1 am wrong in saying also,
secret policeman, it is that l have been misled by
his frequent appearance on the witness stand in
prosecutions for the Government.
These men themselves have acknowledged that
their appearance in the prosecution referred to was
not OF their own %volition, and l speak understand
ingly when assert that / have positive reason to
Hnoto that the prosecution was premeditated by
the Sheriff a week previous to its contamination.
Since the last prosecution, threats have been
made that the watermen of the Pioneer Mills
would be arrested if they did not cease to water
on the Sabbath; but for some reason or another.
the threats of the police have so far remained I'M
executed.
In regard to the prosecution itself, ii would have
been of too little significance to require any notice
were it not that it is representative Of a spirit that
has for a long time been evinced by certain par
ties here to add to and chuckle over anything that
presented itself as a hinderance to the success OF
the sugar interest of Lahaina.
avoid burdening your readers with a recita-
ton of other acts which have been equally annoy
ing, from a confident feeling that one plain case is
sufficient to establish the necessity of appointing
to office only those who in the exercise of their
duty will not unnecessarily cripple so important
an industry as the cultivation of sugar.

TO the Editor Of Pacific Commercial Advertiser j.:

TO the Editor Of Pacific Commercial Advertiser j.:
The scarcity of water at present and the laws of
nature which affect rainfall in general, are matters
of serious consideration and you deserve the thanks
of the community, for bringing this subject before
the public in all its aspects.
1t is to be hoped that even those in authority who
entertained doubts, if trees attract moisture, keep
the soil from evaporation and the springs from dry
ing up, will gradually become convinced of their
error and use every effort within the law and within
their power, to stop the hitherto wanton destruction
of our forests. In this connection allow me to men,
ton one instance to the point, worthy of attention.
If report is correct. Kalihi Valley is under lease to
natives who underlease the valley again to owners of
cattle Tor grazing purposes, reserving the trees to
themselves for the manufacture of charcoal. By this
double process of destruction, it will be but q few
years more when that valley will be entirely denuded
OF trees and underground and the springs cease to
dow. No doubt there are many instances Of a simi-
lar nature all over these islands which legislation
Will lind 1t difficult to reach and which the govern
ment cannot legally interfere with. Still it is of the
utmost Importance that the laws of this country
should be strained as far as possible, within the limit
of constitutional liberty. 60 as to restrain men from
willful acts of destruction which in their true sense
come to be a criminal offence. because they grad
ually destroy the life Of the land.
You have very judiciously brought many cases be-
fore the public, where the destruction of the forests
had turned a land originally highly favored with
luxuriant vegetation, into a desert, and we cannot
claim ignorance thereof, if we fail to protect these
islands from a similar fate. 1t is sad to contemplate
such results; let each therefore use his sphere of in
huence to prevent them, and let the laws of the land
be so framed that the health of this people and the
future prosperity of these islands may not be endan-
gered. X.

The expected marriage of Miss HANNAH DE
RorHsCHnD, only daughter of Baron MEYER AM
CHEL DE R~OTHsCHILD, to the Earl of Rosebery. a
Christian, has excited comment in Jewish circles.
In reply to a paragraph in the Jeuish Times Of
this city, the Baroness de Rothschild writes to
that paper in the following sensible strain in re-
Iation to such mixed marriges: 1T is to be
hoped that being a liberal supporter of the syn
agogue does not preclude liberality of sentiment
and also that the RoTHsCHnDs, as a rule, are not
so bigoted and narrow-minded as to disown any
known member who chooses to deyiate from the
beaten path leaving all to follow the dictates
of their own conscience, they show no difference,
to those who may differ in opinion or in pratice.
RELIGION is between man aad his God, and needs
Ne human interference"
These sentiments are eminently just. Certainly
q Christian could not better state the principles
af RELIGIOUS federation and charity.-Ex.
