The surveying steamer ". II. Reed arrived in
port here on the morning of the 2nd inst and sail
ed again at 9.l5 p. IN. the same day. During the
short stay of the vessel in port it was ascertaned
that the work of surveying the channels between
Maui and Hawaii, and Maui and Molokai, between
points proposed for the route of the intended cable
had been accomplished, the prevailing good wealth.

ferrous channels three times for soundiugs. The
greatest depth, 1260 fathoms, was found midway
between Hawaii and Maui, n regular decliyity

The majority and minority reports of
the Senate Committee on the resolution
to terminate the treaty are published in
our supplement to-day. Our readers will
see that the former report presents both the
commercial and political advantages which
the United States may gain by the treaty.
The value of our exports as we have re
peatcdly shown are largely overestimated.
in the custom house invoices. This is said
to have originated in the fact that con
signees We're generally in the habit of
drawing on consignment at the time of
shipment, so that it was for their interest
TO make liberal valuations against which
to draw. We have no doubt that this fact
will be brought to the notice of congress
men by our efficient agents III Washing
ton. The minority report. with singular
pertinacity, adheres TO the exploded charge
Of frauds and smuggling, notwithstand
ing the clear proofs of their impossi-
bility as well as untruth, published by the
Congressional Committee, who visited this
country last year, as well as by the reports
of two American Ministers resident.
The minority report contains so many
palpable errors, that one would suppose
| that il was made more for obstruction
than with hope OF success.

PoLrcE! POLICE, and if the cry comes
from any one iii the valley road. residing
above the first bridge, echo will be the
only answer obtainable There is no doubt
that the police department needs reform.
The opposition and government are united
on this point. The needs of the town have
increased very largely A rough element
has been introduced which the present
force is incapable Of coping with. Within
the last month no less than ten robberies
have occurred. to which there has been
absolutely no clue. On Friday TO less
than three attempts were made to enter
stores, and from the manner in which the
work was done. it appears as if the thieves
are no tyros at their work, but are very
well acquainted with the methods of the
regular craftsman. Those who give the
matter any thought. see in these small
robbeTies the foreshadowing of big at
tempt in the future The town is in part
being tried and when the gang have
made up their minds that the plumber can
be securely made away with, they will try
to make a grand haul.
The few police who have their wits
about them understand this perfectly. and

but they cannot be ubiquitous. nor can
they do entirely without sleep The main
body of the force is both lazy and. 1--WE

oficerl venal. The town could do with a
less number of police, if they were only
more efficient men. The days of the street
corner doing, banana eating and umbrella
bearing policemen ought to be at an end.
We need wide-awake men who should be
constantly moving about on their beats.
We need officers of intelligence and integ-
rity. who could be used in detective work.
The latter should be unattached, ia. should
not be used for the regular police duties.
There ought to be at least four horses at
the disposal of the force. at present when
there is urgent need, some spawned brute
is hired. that just manages to limp along.
There should be a regular harbor police
and they should have boat of their own.
All these things will cost money, but no

erly in this direction.
We perfectly understand the difficulties

THE p. c. Adueriser of yesterday outlines
preposterous theory, emanating from the
Foreign Office, now that the formidable
obstacles appear to be nearly removed,
which were in the way of the extension of
the treaty, on the part of the United States
IT Is NOT FOR THE INTEREST OF THIS COUNTRY
TO HAVE THE TREATY EXTENDED, The only
reason suggested for such an astonishing
idea is, that a reduction or removal OF
American sugar duties would render the
treaty OF less, or OF no value to us. while
we should be bound by its obligations to
make no Reciprocity Treaty with any other
country. There would, we presume. be nc
difficulty, if the treaty is renewed, in max
ing its continuance depend upon the re
tention of some American duties on sugar
as long as any duties are retained, this
country will need the advantage, however
slight il may be, which the treaty gives
Once lose that and our sugar production
must almost cease. Surely the course OF
the government which Is above outlined
demands the immediate consideration OF

Company.
