CHINESE ACCOUNTS,

EDITOR BULLETIN The letter of
" Commerce in your Saturdays
issue is, in my opinion, sound and
sensible. l cannot conceive that
any commonsense man, having trade
relations with Chinese, should object
to his line of argument. Of course,
every community contains a percent
age of impractical Vaux Hall philan-
thropists whose largeness of heart
prompts them to cry out against
every measure which their weakness
of head leads them to believe is
unequal or oppressive. Does any
man expect Honolulu to furnish an
exception? Indeed, the proverbial
generosity and benevolence of this
community give grounds for expect
ing larger proportion here than
the average elsewhere. But we are
usually little surprised when prac-
teal, matter-of-fact, dollars and
cents business men allow their hearts
to get the better of their heads. l
know that l, for one, could not
understand why the business portion
of this community opposed the at
tempt to compel Chinese traders to
keep their accounts in a language
that can be understood in our law
courts and counting houses. l was
given to believe at the time that the
petition against the measure was
signed by nearly every merchant and
trader in the city. l thought then
as L think now, that they were
sharpening razor to cut their own
threats. Judging from the letter of
"Commerce,'' as well as from the
private statements of several bust
ness men, some of those signers are
now beginning to think the same.
Some merchants are apparently just
discovering the possibility of Chinese
traders practising fraudulent bank
ruptcy without the possibility of
detection. Hold on a hit they will
find out more by-and-by. The first
fruits only are ripe: the full crop is
coming. The shrewd, money-makius
Celestial knows what he is about,
and fully realizes the strength of his
position. Insolvency with him means
a very few cents in the dollar to his
creditors, and the balance deficiency
securely concealed for his own future
use. 1t means this in nine cases out
of ten, and more. To be sure, the
same thing is sometimes done by
white men when they see the way
clear, and has been done moro than
once right here in Honolulu. But
with the Chinaman it is the rule, the
almost invariable rule, and the eX-
ceptions are extremely few. ! have
been frequently told by intelligent
Cinnamon here that this country has
never yet furnished one solitary excep-
ton. This may be extreme, hut
then the Cinnamon ought to know.
They have every chance to do this
kind of thing, because all their
accounts are kept in their own
herioglyphics, and nobody can
decipher them but themselves. The
Attorney-General had an intelligent
comprehension of the situation when
he introduced his bill compelling the
use of English or Hawaiian. / can
not pay the same compliment to
those short-sightcd humanitarians
who raised the hub-bub which pre-
vented its becoming law. There is
one thing, however, they cannot

CAPT. BoYToN's EXPLANATION
a Scientific Experiment He is Willing
to Repeat on the Canada.
From, the Ne,o York Herald.

From the Neto York Herald.
The charge that the recent experiment
of Capt. Paul Boyton in attaching tor
pedo case to the British sloop of war Gar
net was nothing more than a joke has
offended Capt. BOyton, and, meeting re-
porter last night, he repudiated the charge
most emphatically. He said:
"The general impression that prevails
regarding my torpedo experiment on H.
NJ. S. Garnet Is erroneOus-it was no joke
on my part. 1t was simply an illustra-
ton of what promised the English Ad-
miralty TO do nine years ago. | then
made the assertion that | could go in my
suit alongside OF one Of their largest and
best equipped irOn-clads, and attach to it
a torpedo sufficiently powerful to blow
her out Of existence. They said my idea
was preposterous."
MANY persons charge you with having
performed the feat as an advertisement"
IL want it distinctly understood that |
am not an advertising agent for any rub
Der suit or for any rubber company.
have no interest, nor ever had one dollar
interest, in any suit sold or put on the
market. In making the experiment the
other day my only idea was to convince
the old fossils in the English Admiralty
that what | said nine years ago was true"
but, Captain, do you not consider the
proof thus offered. and under the circum-
stances surrounding the ship in Il friendly
port, an act of dscOurtesy?'
81 assure you | meant no discourtesy.
That idea was the farthest from my
thoughts"
"What leads you to think you We're not
seen from on board the Garnet during the
progress of your eXperiment|'
"The nOnspnsical idea Of my being seen
and not hailed. The tirs5 thing that would
be done if any sentry had seen such 2
suspicious body in the water acting as
did would be to hail, and If there was no
response TO fire at once. l realized the
danger | ran, anu the risk only proves
more cOnclusvely my success. Until |
made my presence known nothing Of the
kind was dreamed of Oh board the ship"
"Do you think that in case of hostilities
such a thing could be actually accom-
plished when every one is alert and look
ing for some such fOeY'
"Most assuredly, and to convince the
officers of the Canada, l will issue them a
challenge. But, first, do not intend it
as an act of diseourtesy, nor do l want an
international question made of it. Meth
er do | wish to cause them any trouble
with their OTn authorities. But il they
will allow me to repeat the experiment l
will consent to let them shoot me if they
can-tIe responsibility shall all be mine.
My challenge is this: That at any time
within any named seven days l will, il
allowed as a scientific experiment, attach
a torpedo shell to the Canada in spite of
