WEDNESDAY : September 9Th
LATE NEWS.

The news to hand by the MaripOsa
is important, although it is not start
ling. Sugar is advancing in New
York, with an upward tendency
throughout the world. This will be
gratifying news to our planters.
Equally gratifying should be the fact
that stock in the Hawaiian CONNER
cial Company had advanced So per
share, with considerable transactions
in the two or three last days of
August. The tendency was upward,
with a strong market, owing to
favorable advices from these Islands,
although the "Chronicle" persistently
attempted to bear the stock.
The war cloud has almost disap-
peared from Central Asia, the dispute
between England and Russia about
the Afghan boundary being practice
ally adjusted. This settlement is a
good thing for the world. England
has also made overtures to the Sultan
of Turkey, looking to a withdrawal
of the British forces from Egypt, and
the military occupation of that coun-
try by Turkish troops. This is ret
rOgade movement by the Tories.
Spain and Germany are becoming
seriously occupied over the Caroline
Islands annexation question. Public
opinion runs very high in Spain on
the subject, and in France general
sympathy is expressed for the Span
iards. A wild rCmor has been started
in this connection, to the effect that
Bismarck wanted to provoke quar-
rel with Spain to enable him to seize
Cuba. AS this would he resented by
the United States to the utmost pos
sible extent, the German Chancellor
is far too wise to provoke such a
quarrel.
Cholera is raging in Spain and the
south of France, while yellow fever
and smallpox have become epidemic
upon the American continent. The
deaths in Spain from cholera average
about 200 day. Official notifica-
ton has been given by the Secretary
of State, Mr.. Bayard, that cholera has
broken out in virulent form at one
of the japanese treaty ports. AS it is
liable to be introduced to the United
States from Japan, the greatest pre-
cautions should be taken by the
Health authorities in this country to
guard against its possible introduce
tion here. Smallpox is serious WISH
tation to Montreal, and it likewise
prevails along the Pacific coast of
Central and South America.

VALUE OF TOURIST TRAVEL.

The ADVERTISER has made point
of urging the Importance Of encourag-
ing tourist travel to these Islands.
1t is true our suggestion received
scant support from some of our con-
temporarles, one Of whom went so far
as to rIdicule it. Nevertheless, if
there were steady arrival of tourists
by each steamer from the Coast and
Australia our streets would be much
livelier than they are, and business
would be stimulated by the free use of
money.
What has been accomplished in
this direction heretofore is due mainly
to the Oceanic Steamship Company,
whose admirably equipped vessels,
and the regularity of whose arrival
and departure at terminal ports, en-
couraged tourist travel. OF course,
before the establishment of this line
the Australian mail boats provided
accommodation for tourists, but the
convenience of Hawaiian travel was
necessarily subordinated to the re-
oillrements of the through passenger
traffic, and it is safe to say that if
these vessels had remained until now
the only means for reaching Homo
lulu by steamer from the Coast, there
would not have been ninety per cent
of the tourist travel we have had
from the States. But what has been
already accomplished does not begin

The wisdom of the regulation laid
down by Consul General Mckinley at
San Francisco, as to the necessity for
representatives of firms in that city be-

San Francisco houses readily recognize
the necessity for some such check from a
business point of view, and gladly COM
ply with the regulation. The only

Tyrian Purple.

In communication by M. Berthelot
to French scientific journal on the
magnificent purple of Tyre, so highly
priced by the ancients, it is said that.
according to tradition, the color was
discovered by accident. A shepherds
dog found shell-fsh on the seashore.
In crushing the shell he cut his mouth,
and the blood. minglng with the juice
of the mollusk, gave the splendid pur,
pie, which was subsequently applied ia
the dyeing of stuffs. No other color
has been held in such high esteem. Tho
King of Phnnicia was so charmed witt,
it's beauty that he forbade his subjects
to use it, deserving it for kings and
heirs presuhptive to the crown. Moses
adopted it for ecclesiastical purposes,
the vestments of the high priests and
the ornaments of the tabernacle. AT
that early period the art of dyeing must
have attained great degree of perfec-
ton. Among the Romans the right to
wear the purple belonged at first only
to great conquerors; afterward it was
assumed by emperors. In more mod
ern times the purple robe has been re-
served for the highest dignitaries of the
church, whence the expression "Roman
purple to express the dignity of Gar
dinal. nj. Lacaze-Duthieres, of tine
French Institute, regards the ancient
legend as probably true history, al
least so far as this: that the bleeding
mouth of the dog led to the discovery
of the shell fish from which the ancients
extracted their color. For long time
much uncertainty eMsted as to the spe
cies of mollusk so employed, and many
regarded the secret as lost. But shell.
fish possessing all the characteristics By
which the ,ncients designated the ami

Mosquitoes and Yellow Fever.

The following propositions, which
give in condensed form the chief con-
illusions of DIR. Carlos Finlay's work ON
yellow fever, deserve consideration
Ordinary yellow fever is inoculable by
means of the bite of the mosquito on
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth days
of its natural evolution. The disease
cannot be transmitted by the agency of
the insect before the third day or after
the sixth, no matter what the severity
of the disease. The period of incuba-
ton of experimental incubation varies
as widely as that of ordinary yellow
fever. The duration and severity of
the fever produced by incubation by
the mosquito appeared to be proper
tional to,the number of bites and pre-
sumably to the quantity of matter con-
tanned in the insects fangs.
