being IN average OF 4. The anchorage is
wellssheltered by the island which has
been found to be larger than anticipated
containing about eighty acres, and rising
TO the height of five hnndred feet. There
IS a good landing place on a sandy beach
ON the southwest side OF the island,
and from thence the land rises gradually, a
large area being located in a shallow de-
preston, evidently the bowl of an extinct
crater.
The island is about one and a half miles
from the landing at Waimanalo, and can
be reached from there by a boat in half an
hour.
There is no water on the island, but this
a could be easily supplied by a con-
densing apparatus, or by supplies brought
from the main n
The advantages as a quarantine station
that the island possessesover the present site
are: First, it is more completely isolated.
Secondly, it is so located that a south wind
Is not nearly so likely to carry the germs of
disease to the inhabitated portions of Oahu,
and thirdly, it is more elevated above the
sea-level, and subjected more directly to
the trade-winds It is farther away from
Honolulu to be sure, but we do not know
that that is an objection, we do not think 1t
is. As We said in the beginning, the sub
Ject of utilizing this spot for the purposes
indicated is worth consideration.

A New Quarantine Station.

In all sea-ports controlled by civilized
nations, the Importance of having a safe,
commOdiOus station where all cases of con-
tagious diseases can be isolated and proper
ly treated is fully recognized. 1t this port
we nave good buildings established on the
reef where ordinarily, dangerous diseases
can be isolated, but, we are still of the
opinion that the question of providing a
still more isolated locality, within easy
reach of the harbor, should be discussed.
Such a location is found OH the islet called
Manana, which has just been thoroughly
surveyed, with its surroundings by Captain
Jackson of the Government Survey Office.
According TO the survey of the east coast
of Oahu, and the coast between Coco Head
and Diamond Head, during which numer-
Gus soundings have been taken, and the
whole of the outlying roek-dangers care
fully and accurately ascertained and noted,
it has been ascertained that there is excel

from 4 to 8 fathoms, at the anchorage it

a Gross Subterfuge.

The venom with which our friendly criti-
cisms of the Y. NJ. G. a. have been met
by a contemporary is rather beneath notice.
1t is certainly discreditable to the merest
pretention to candor and responsibility in
journalism. The articles which have called
forth such a paltry storm of personal malev-
olence were written by one who has been
elected to membership in the Y. NJ. G. A.,
and who has only the highest Legitimate
success of the association at heart. Indeed,
it was only with u view of pointing out
some of the defects which have made the
Y. Nj. {. A. more or less unpopular and an
admitted failure, so far as its proper in
huence is concerned, that he has gone to
some trouble to investigate the details of
management, so as to be able to give accurate
and conscientious aid in the way of point
ing out defects which have been pesistently
ignored and which must be remedied
before the association can prosper. If he
has erred III any particular, If he has hurt
the feelings of any individual, more than
was necessary for the good of the a%ssocia-
ton, he is ready to atone for any error. 1t
has been said hat the members of the Y.
NJ. &. A. Employment Committee can
make no defense, not that they have none
to make, but that they are subjected to n
kind of martyrdom. This is absurd and
false. If the gentlemen of the committee
can refute the charges of inefficiency, which
seem to be admitted by the confessions of
one of their number, Mr.. b. F. Dillingham;,
any reasonable amount OF space In our col
umns is at their disposal. Those contem-
porary sheets that have sought to defend
the Employment Committee have, in re-
atty, cast the most serious reflections upon
its Personality. On behalf of the commit
tee they nave assumed for its several COM
ponent MEMBER n high responsibility and
an unquestionabie past record, and they
have asked the public to discredit the
charges against them as n committee on
account of this alleged personal respecta-
bility and honorable record. Now, this is
Enthusiastically an effort to make the prestige
of reputation cover and excuse, present
delinquency. The public has of late, in the
United States and elsewhere, been ac-
quainted with many rogues who have la
bored for years to c%onjure up a reputation
under cover of which they have perpetrated
embeZzlements and all manner of frauds.
1t seems to nave been the policy of default
ing cashiers and trustees in the United
States to appear devout, honest and paying
members of some Christian S~Ocietey in or
der to consummate. their frauds. Instances
of this sort have been so common that pub
lie opinion will no longer permit alleged past
responsibility to screen present action from
scrutiny and thorough Investigation. And
the attempt to do this by the assumption
of respectability which our contemporaries
have applied to the member of the Y. NJ.
G.. A. Employment Committee lays them
open to the suspicion of n very gross sub
teIfuge.

his associates, and their demand for an

that the Government of the United States

its Representative here, and we are satisfied
that the reply of the Minister will satisfy
his government of the charges, and put to
shame those who so reckleSsly advanced
them to further their own ends.

WASHINGTON, April, 16.
During the past week, there have been many
injuries made at the customs division of the
Treasury Department by New York merchants
concerning the letter recently received by the
Secretary Of State and referred to the Customs
Bureau bearing upon the charge by Congress-
man Belmont, that the Honolulans and Hawaiian
Islanders generally are exporting Chinese sugar
10 this country contrary to existing tariff laws.
as the letter gives some very interesting points
concerning the Hawaiian sugar trade with the
United States. Several very imperfect and incor-
rect brief abstracts of the letter from our Min
i.ter at Honolulu have been printed. but 1t re-
mains for the Bulletin to lay the full text of the
letter before the merchants, who are So deeply
interested. 1t is as follows

When in 1875 the Art Students League

can art as such, and TO enable students
who were unable to go abroad to obtain
the opportunities of study at home they
did better work than even the most
sanguine among them anticipated. Up
to that tine the students were unable to
acquire more than the most rudimentary
principles of his art at home. At pres.
ent however SO steady aud rapid has
been tho progress that outside of the
special instruction to be derived in spec
ial departments by European masters OF
world wide reputation no better means,
no greater advantages for the serious
and systematic study can be found than
in this city. The aim Of the League has
constantly been to raise its standard of
excellence and tointroduce new methods
and facilities. Hence it is progressiv,
