The Lieutenant's Fate.

l''Army Life, by A. o. Marshall
One evening after our work for the
day was done, our jOvial little comrade,
Elisha Burrows, was seen walking down
toward the officers quarters His face,
always the picture of mirth and fun, was
now covered with sadness. He had Just
come from his tent Corporal Lewis was
one of his tent mates. Lewis, one of our
best soldiers, was a general favorite, and
especially so with Lieut.. Burnham, one
of the warmest- hearted and most sympa.
thetic men in the army.
AS Burrows came near Lieut. Burnham,
his face grew more sad and in mournful
tones he asked: Lieutenant, did you hear
about Corporal Lewis?" In his quick,
impulsive way the lieutenant answered:
No, what is the matter with him?" With
voice trembling with emotion Burrows
slowly replied He is now in his tent
dyeing With tears of heartfelt sorrow
and sympathy coursing down his cheeks
Burnham rushed to the soldiers tent, ex-
claiming: Poor Lewis!" Poor kewisl"
and found him-sitting before glass dye
ing his new grown mustache.

Distribution of Iapanese.

The allotment and distribu ton Of Japanese
immigrants will take place, as far as pos
sible, to-day, all of them going to plan ia
tions. A great many applications had been
sent in for domestic servants, cooks, ETC.,
but it has been found impossible to comply
with any of these requests, Consul General
Irwin stating that there are no domestics,
or persons accustomed to Homework. among
the present party. Care will be taken, how
ever, in future selections, to procure pro-
portion of this class of immigrants.
Mr.. Atwater, Secretary of the Board of
Immigration, furnishes the following par
tial list For Maui: 275 to Spreckelsville,
and 40 to Reciprocity Plantation. For Ha-
wall so to Hilo Sugar Company, 20 to
Hon. Sam. Parker's ranch, 25 to Ookala
Sugar Company, and 40 to Hakalau. For
Kauai: so to the Makee Sugar Company
This makes total of 500. There remains,
therefore, 4s7 immigrants, including the
four in hospital, to be allotted to-day, or as
soon as possible. A finer body of agricul-
tural laborers never came to this or to any
other country.

THE JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS.

Inc streets We're filled with Japa.

walked leisurely about, taking in the
sights and making mental notes of all
they saw. They are a remarkably TO-
Dust and healthy-appearing body OF
men, and taken as a whole. wouIu
compare to advantage in physique
anu general bearing with anv
shiplOad of European Immigrants
landing at Castle Garden or in anv OF
The colonies of England. The paucity
OF women was noticeable, however.
and we hope that in future this grea,
social defect will be remedied. The
japanese enjoy home life, because
they are a highly-civilized race.
They should have an opportunity to
make homes.
We think the planters are to be
congratulated upon this body of la
Dorers, and We trust their treatment
Will be such as to leave no room
for Justifable complaint. Ther4are
objections to contract labor from
various points of view, but while this
class of labor is introduced. care
should be taken to render it's sur
roundings as little irksome as possi-
bic. We do not think that any re-
sp0nslble manager of a plantation
would act with undue harshness to
these men, who are ignorant of our
language and customs, but the eye of
the manager is not always on the
lunas and their deputies, and they
may occasionally be inclined to be |
arbitrary and unjust. The success of
Japanese immigration means a great
deal for this country.

passed. On the same deck with the saloon
are accommodations for II second class and
800 steerage passengers, while the orlop
deck below is capable of accommodating
thousand Japanese passengers. There are
complete cooking ranges for all these pas
sengers, and in each place the greatest clean
illness and order is insisted upon. In fact
the discipline enforced in every department
in the vessel is effective, and at the same
time quiet.
On the upper deck the Captain has
handsome cabin with means at hand to
enable him to communicate quickly with
every part of the vessel. The main ''bridge,
from which an uninterrupted view Of the
main deck fore and aft is had, is imme-
diately forward of the Captains cabin, and
on this wide promenade are placed the
standard compass of the ship, the signal
post from which the Chief Engineer can be
guided in working the engine, and another
post on which is fitted handle, by means OF
which the Captain can direct the quarter
masters at the helm, in the after part of the
vessel, how to steer, when it becomes neces-
sary for them to do so, by means of the
extra wheel fitted up near the stern. There
are a number of compasses placed in differ
ent parts of the steamer, but they are, all re-
ferred for correction to the large one on the
main bridge. In order 10 neutralize the
''local attraction" that always exists in an
iron vessel the large compass is surrounded
by a system of magnets arranged so that
they balance each others attractive in
fuence.
With these appliances about them the
quartermasters of the watch on deck stand
at the wheel and guide the huge hull of the
vessel under their feet on her trackless way.
To control the massive rudder there is in
the wheel-room under the bridge solid
worm wheel, which is revolved to right or
left by a worm, actuated by twin steam
cylinders, into which the steam is admitted
through valve whose port is governed by
a lever, moved by the wheel in the hands of
the quartermasters. The whole continuance
is happy combinat ton of the wheel, lever
and screw, so arranged that the power
exerted by the steersmen is multiplied
thousand fold without any corresponding
loss of time.
The Yamashiro Maru, Captain Mailman
says, steers with great ease, and is a most
weatherly boat. She belongs to the Kiodo
Unyu Kwaishu union Steamship Company
and runs regularly between Yokohama and
Kobi,. a distance of $50 miles. She makes
six and half trips every month, leaving
each port exactly at o'clock p. m. of her
sailing days. She has made the trip between
the two ports in "a hours, So minutes.
Her sister ship is the Omi, and it
is said that although it would be hard to
distinguish between the two vessels by their
appearance, the Yamashiro Maru is the
favorite with the travelling public. Of these
there are enough to furnish about 200 pas
sengers per vessel each month, and the COM
pany also does large freighting business.
The cost of the vessel, without any extras"
was $255;0OO, and any one who visits her
will not think that sum too much to pay for
such splendid specimen of marine archi-
lecture.

There is a gentleman in town who has

Sarions Accident

BY the Planter, from Kauai, We learn
that Mr.. A. Cropp, Manager of the Kolea
plantation, while visiting the men at work
in the fields, fell backward from his
horse, which was going at rapid pace,
striking on his head. When picked mp
he was unconscious, and DR.. Walters,
who was Immediately called in to his help,
pronounced him seriously injured. DIR.
Smith was also in attendance. At last
accounts he was improving. This is the
second time Mr.. Cropp has been injured
by fall from horse, he having had his
arm broken on previous occasion.
After Mr.. Cropp was thrown the horse
Ieaped over railing, and in doing SO was
badly cut.

"No, sir, they never will reach the
north pole without my steam sleigh, said
Johann Kairies to a New FORK reporter.
"You see, the polar travellers are inter
rupted on their way either by ice or by
currents of water. Take my steam sleigh
and you will go straight, both by ice and
by water. My sleigh is boat shaped and
once plunged into water will work like
as smoothly as the best sleigh you can
get. Suppose the Greedy party had had
some of these steam sleighs, they could
easily have solved the problem. l would
arrange thus: A party of the explorers
should start from the permanent station
on several steam sleighs Having made
good distance. say from seventy-five to
100 miles, one steam sleigh should
stop to form temporary station,
the rest of the sleighs going
ahead Then at the end Of another hun
dred miles another sleigh should stop:
Thus chain of temporary stations would
manent station quick and regular commu-
nication could be kept up by means of the
steam sleighs.

the reporter
ooh, that's the trouble" said Mr.. Kai
ries l invented it while living in Russia
1t was seized and l was expelled from
Russia, and here l am, as poor as when I
started in life. AS soon as l earn money
enough l will take out patent for my
steam sleigh, and | will also see to it that
henceforth no polar expedition starts
without it. There is money in it and l

Sheridan's Way.
indianapolis Times. J


Telling these things of Grant reminds
me of q story of the battle Of Cedar creek
got from an old soldier who was there
It will be remembered that when the bat
tie began Sheridan was at Winchester,
twenty miles away, " and his army was
under the command of Gen. Wright.
When Sheridan reached the field the
army was defeated, and all but the Nine
teenth corps demoraliZed The corps was
under the command of Gen. Emory, who
had been a professor at West Point when
Sheridan was a cadet Sheridan was
quick to seize upon the situation, and he
directed Emory to take a certain position
and hold it against all odds until he should
hear Sheridans guns at a certain point
Emory promptly obeyed, and soon the
battle ragged again with the utmost fury.
The rebels made assault after assault, but
Emory held his place.
Time and again he sent, urgently ask
ing for achievements, but Sheridan
only sent word back to hold on little
longer He did hold on until Sheridan
collected the shattered forces and charged
like thunderbolt, and Early and his
army were routed. That evening, as
Emory was sitting upon the ground,
blackened by powder, and exhausted by
the tolls Of the day, for he had been fight
ing for seven hours, one of Sheridan's
staff officers rode up and, saluting him,
said: Gen Emory, [ am instructed by
Gen. Sheridan to present to you his com
pliments, and TO say that he regards you
as a regular id old stuck buzzard; that
you are a glorious old fighter. This
unique statement of the staff officer was
received with shouts bythoSe who sur
rounded Emory. 1t appeared afterward
that the officer had given literally to EN-
DRY the words of his chief.

One OF the most amusing scenes that has
been witnessed in Honolulu for some time
was at the free entertainment extended
by the courtesy of Mr.. F. Johnson yesterday
to the newly-arrived Japanese at the "Aunt
Sally" target range. The "Jap" is re-
nowned for his politeness, and, after receiv-
ing cigar apiece from the manager, they
even saluted the target mummies on the
rack. They take great interest in the game,
and congregate in crowds day and night at
the range.
The Japanese who are at the immigration
depot were permitted to roam about the city
yesterday, and groups of them in their pic
turesque dress were to be seen in every
quarter examining everything they came
across and holding short conversations with
the Hawaiians. They invaded Nuuapu
street in swarms, and it was amusing to
watch them bargaining with the Chinese,
Portuguese and foreign" storekeepers. 1t
is not known that they bought anything, but
as our lady friends know, that did not pre-
vent their doing good deal of shopping.
His Majesty the King entertained at break
fast yesterday Captain Mailman, command
ing the japanese steamer Yamashiro Maru.
There was also present Her Majesty Queen
Kapiolani, 81. R. H. the Governess of Ha-
waii, Viscount Tori, Mr.. Gladstone, Chief
Officer, and Mr.. Canda, Purser of the Yama-
shire Maru;- also Colonel E. w. Purvis,

Band played during the breakfast.

ABOUT CHEAP LABOR.

We do not intend, in this article, to
discuss the question whether high
priced labor is dear" labor or vice
versa, because great many consider
atoms must be taken into account be-
fore arriving at sound conclusion.
1t may be accepted as an axiom, how
ever, that where the cost of living is
high labor is well paid, unless it be
held at disadvantage by capital. In
the latter case labor organizes,
strikes ensue, and national industries
and trade become depressed.
The problem of the division of
profits in its relation to wages, is en-
crossing a great deal of attention in
the old countries of Europe, and in
the comparatively new countries of
America and Australia. Sooner or
later it will become a live economic
issue in these Islands, and indeed il
ia already discernible in the move
ment of the Portuguese and others
for species of cooperation or linn
tied partnership in raising cane and
the production of sugar. How far
this tendency will be strengthened or
weakened by the new departure in
japanese i'm migration, it Is of course
impossible to say, but SO long as
planters can obtain reliable contract
labor, they will be IN q position to
