Captain HOwgate's case acquires still graver
look from the statement of the Government
counsel in court yesterday that the alleged
embezzlement would probably be found to
reach $4,000, and perhaps even $50, 1000
Captain Howgate still claims that he will make
his innocence clear, but no hint of his defence
has been given.
The American Bar Association yesterday
adopted resolutions recommending three
years course of study in all law schools, the
diplomas granted by schools having thorough
course of instruction emitting the recipient To
admission to the bar also that the time spent
In chartered law school should be regarded
as equivalent to time spent in an attorneys
Office The question as to the length of the
course to be taken by candidates for the bar
is an old one. and has been the subject of
considerable controversy But there is little
doubt that the general sentiment of the pro
fesslon is we'll represented by these resolutions
IN favor OF raising the standards of admission.

White Thunder must be set down as one of
the noble red men of fact, and not of fiction.
and as proof presunptive that the Big Serpent
and Uncas were veracious portraits. The confer
ence at Washington, called for the purpose of
arranging a sale of lands belonging to the
Omaha, Winnebago or Sioux, to the handful
OF Poncas living on their old reservation,
has ended with an offer of gift from
the Sioux to the Poncas of $4,000
acres of land. The prudent Onahas and
Winnebagoes declined even to sell; they
needed all the land they had for the future.
But the Sioux offered it outright, and when
White Thunder was asked whether they ex-
pected compensation for giving the right to live
on the land, he said, proudly: "No; you told me
ought to have pity upon these poor Poncas.
IL l have pity upon them am not going to
take their money" White Thunder is Spotted

1t any such eagerness remains after
the alarming accident of "Wednesday.

cradle age of twenty-seven years it is surely
time to retire her from voyages outside Sandy
Hook. After the accident of Wednesday, and
after the revelations now made concerning
this relic of a past generation, people who
embark on the Plymouth Rock for voyage
outside the harbor might well put on two or
three life-preservers at the start, and be sure
as they secure them that the strings are not
rotten. 1t is good news that the Secretary of
tie Treasury has ordered that the boat
be subjected to a rigid inspection. That
is it is good news if the inspection is to
be really rigid. If it is to be such farce
as was that of the Seawanhaka, or as past
inspections of the Plymouth Rock have been,
people going to Long Branch will be wise to
disregard it and to trust their lives to much
more youthful and robust means of convey
ance.

While perhaps the President did not make
all the progress yesterday that had been hoped
Tor, some progress was unquestionably made
He was not only able to retain small doses of
liquid food amounting in all to nine ounces,
but craved them, which is regarded as an en-
cOuraging sign. The highest pulse recorded in
the official bulletins was los, four beats below
the highest pulse of Wednesday, and the
lowest pulse was 1O4, six beats below the
lowest pulse of Wednesday. The temperature
at no time fell below the normal, and the
rise to 100 at the time of the even
ing bulletin would hardly have attracted
attention before the last relapse. While the
gastric trouble has apparently subsidized some
what. the wound has been doing well as be-
fore. The uneasiness OccasiOned in the public
mind by the announcement that parOtits,
which is an inflammation of the largest sal
wary gland, under the ear and near the
angle of the lower jaw, had set in,
does not seem to he shared by the physicians
in attendance. The subject being one upon
which medical authorities differ widely, the
wise course for the public is to take the judg-
ment of those familiar with this case, who
declare that it is not q sign of blood
poisoning, and not in their opinion
symptom whickpshOuld cause alarm. The same
tone OF hopefulness is felt at the White
House as before, in spite of the tendency to
gloom and encouragement in other quarters
of Washington.

THERE seems to be something wrong with
the police in this city. We constantly heat of
complaints, both of cr-offciousncss, and
non-oficiousncss. OF the f,fmer is the case
of Loo Ngawk, Cinnamon, who was unnces-
sary arrested and harshly handled by
policeman. Tho case was so plain that the
Deputy Marshal dismissed the Chinaman, and
on the following morning the arrest occurred
on Sunday--thc Police Magistrate fined tho
Constable aud recommended his discharge
from the force. Under advice however,
the Constable appealed aud the case was laid
before Native jury who could not agree on a
verdict condemhing the defendant, although
the charge of the Judge laid it down most
emphatcaly that lie was justly sentenced at
the Police Court. Here there appeared to be
the possibility of difficulty. Fortunately the
law allows the presiding Judge in such cir
cumstances to dismiss the jury and decide the
case himself. Accordingly the sentence of the
Police Magistrate was confirm ed and the over
strenuous Constable fined and dismissed. This
looks like partiality Of u Native jury for one
Of the same race, though condemned by con-
secutive Courts of law.
On the other hand, complaints are made that
our police settle themselves too firmly on their
stools, smoke their cigars, and read their papers
while supposed to be on duty, and arc un-
acquainted with the wholesome maxim that
"prevention is better than cure. T" For our
own part we think the time has arrived when
no Constable should ever be allowed to sit,
smoke, or read whilst on duty that district
or "beat" should be prescribed for each man,
that he should be obliged to perambulate that
beat" and not sit still at one corner of it.
That little drill would do them 10 harm,
and that they be taught good manners it
should be impossible that when member of
the Royal family passes by, no notice is ia ken
The policeman sits on his stool, smokes ms
pipe and ignores everything and everybody
about him, till aroused by cry of "help ~ or
"polce I"
Another case came before the Court on Mon
day last, in which Chinaman was charged
with buying stolen property, some copper, the
vendors being prisoners and in prson-d dress.
yet it was possible for them to rob store
house on the Esplanade. sell their booty in
Nuuanu street, and with the proceeds pur-
chase cigars &C., aud return to their gang
without having been missed by the lima or
recognized as prisoners by the police in the
streets-these stories speak for themselves.
On Sunday last h,oLe Constable went on
board the American barkentine E'rrkn, COM
mepced search without exhibiting his war
rant. was nsolcnt and i'll behaved, when asked
for his authority. The captain complained to
his Consul, and thanks to his good Offices, and
an apology made by the police officials the
matter was allowed to drop. This again dis
closes an unsats sfactory state of discipline in
the force.
The Marshal and his Deputy know their
work better than to allow the present state OF
the force to go on, and we hope that the police
matters may be speedily placed on new and
imnroyed footing

EDITOR SATURDAY Press: Knowing that
you are always willing to hear of such things,
l send you an account of how New Years day
was spent on Kilauea plantation. Owing to
there being large number of foreigners en-
ployed, the owners had decided to have a

in which all could join. At A. NJ. a cricket
match was played between the Red Stars :"
and Blue Stars, resulting in victory for
the former. At l p. NJ. the following sports
came off. Owing to the large number Of en-

THE great question Of an Inter-oceanic
Canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans is daily assuming more tangible
shape. After a quarter Of century of pre-
liminary surveys and choosing of route, the
weight Of the name and prestige of Ferdinand
de Lesseps is thrown in, in favor of the short
est and most direct route, that is, from near
the mouth of the Chagres river to a point in
the bay Of Panama, not far from the old city
of the same name which was sacked and burned
by the Buccaneer Morgan in the 18th century
and never rebuilt. This is, as we said, the shcrt-
est and most direct route but by far the most
difficult and costly.
Even if the bed of the Chagres River be
utilized, the canal will cost more time and
money than any other undertaking the world
has ever witnessed. even in these days of stu
pendous engineering achievements, the Suez
Canal, and the two Sub-Alpine tunnels not
excepted Three different routes have been
proposed aud more or less completely sur
vcyed. One, by utilizing the bed of the River
Magdalena. a second by cutting through the
Isthmus, the "Darien" Canal, favored by
Count +. de Lesseps; the third would ascend
the River San Juan do Nicaragua, crsss the
lake of the same name, thence by little river
or estero to Lake Macsgua, and thence to the
Pacific by an esiero to the gulf OF Fonseca. This
route would be long, tedious, and expensive,
but yet We reoommerd it in preference to the
Daricn scheme. tH
1t would be necessary to deepen the river
San Juan and provide Il series oil locks. The
connecting link between The Two lakes must be
widened and deepened, and SO also the stream
from lake Managna 10 the gulf Of Fonsecs,
but still the outline has been done by nature,
and it only has to be adapted by man.
The gulf VI Fonseca is AN iIninenae sheltered
space; a large and growing town, La Union is
situated on its shores, many Islands dot its
surface. and one Tigre" is Just opposite the
mouth Of the Estero OF stream which runs into

IT IS now publicly announced that His
Majesty the King will sail in the next steamer
on his long projected foreign tour. His
Majesty goes hence to San Francisco, across to
Japan, then to China, and the Straits Settle
ments to Calcutta, overland to Bombay, thence
by way of the Suez Canal, across the Medi-
terranean to Italy, France, and England, and
crossing the Atlantic and the United States,
home again from San Francisco. Mr.. N. Arm
strong the Attorney General resigns his post
aud accompanies the King in the capacity of
Special Commissioner of the Board Of Immi-
grafton, tbat he may examine thoroughly, and
on the spot, the possibility and advisability of
procuring immigrants from Asia or Malayia.
Colonel Judd also travels with the King as
Chamberlain. Differences of opinion exist as
to the wisdom of this journey just now, but
they may be laid aside for the present in view
of the above announcement, and the decision
arrived at by the King and Privy Council.
H. Il. II. Lydia Kamakaeha will be appointed
Regent during the absence of the King, in ac-
cordance with Article 33 of the Constitution.
