locked up within the bars were compelled
to live in their own filth. which had SO ac-
cumulated that they are surprised that it
has not already been the source of deadly
epidemic" Several prisoners were sick,
and there is no telling but that frighttul
contagious may ensue. The cisterns and
wells were also leeking corruption. The

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A CALL has been issued by the Secretary
of the National Democratic Committee FOR
a meeting to be held at the Arlington Ho-
tel, at Washington, Monday, March 9.
The purpose of the meeting is not stated.
AFTER the counting of the electoral votes
in the House on the 11th, Senator Edmunds
said: Sand the President of the Senate
makes this declaration only as a public
statement in the presence of the two
Houses of Congress of the papers opened
and read on this occasion, and as not pos
sessing any authority in law to declare
any legal conclusion whatever" This
declaration gave rise to much comment,
several Senators expressing very decided
) dissent. The votes showed 219 for Cleve-
i land and Hendricks and 1S2 for Blaine and
I Logan.
IT was believed in Washington that the
sentence of the court martial in Colonel
Morrow's case is that he be reprimanded
by the Secretary of War and that he retain
his present grade for period of two years.
The case has to be referred to the President
for final action.
THE Government failed to prosecute the
Oklahoma boomers" who were taken to
Washington for trial. Captain Couch and
his companions were therefore discharged.
The result was considered great victory
for the boomers"

YOUNG Hawniians AbrOad.


The reports that are sent to the Islands of
the progress made by the young men from
here who are pursuing their studies at st.
Matthew's Hall in California, are very graf.
flying. Their standing is, as a rule, quite as
high as that of their schoolmates, and in
some respects higher. Besides this we see
from one of the last reports received that in
all healthful, manly sports, and in the mill
tary exercises. which forms part of their
education, they hold their own. In the bat
talon, which includes the whole school,
Harry Turton, Jr., son of H. Turton, of La
haina, is Color Sergeant, and A. G. Dowsett,
son of J. I. Dowsett of this city, is Corporal
of Company B. They both hold rank, teo,
as non-commissioned officers in the ''saber'
detachment and picked squad" and Dow
lsett is also a Corporal in the ''gun detach-
.ment," of which H. R. II. Kawananakoa
and A. G. Turton are canoAeers.N Both the
Turton boys are members Of the Pioneer
Baseball Club, and of the Hawaiian Quot
Club, of which the other members are A. G.
Dowsett and II. R. II. Kawananakoa. The
Sans Souci Club of Wheelmen is made up of
the three Princes and 7. P. Cummins. Thus
it will be seen that while our Hawaiian boys
are diligent and painstaking in their studies,
they are also training their bodies in phys
ical exercises, and so insuring, as far as
possible, healthy, useful lives to themselves
in the future.

FIre.stnrtins Machine.

The Chief Engineer of the Honolulu Fire
Depar tment has received little machine to
be attached to the steam fire engines, for the
purpose of starting a fire under the boiler
fnstantaneously. The machine consists OF
an iron ladle having an upright cell attached,
in which can be placed little vial contain
ing sulphuric acid. Alongside the handle of
the ladle is lever, arranged so that when
pulled an iron plug is brought against the
vial, breaking it. In the bowl of the ladle
is placed mixture of chlorate of potash and
sugar, which bursts into flame when the
acid from the broken vial touches it. The
idea is to save fuel, as an engine can be
taken out when an alarm is sounded, and if
there is actually fire the fuel can be
ignited at once.

thinks it is absurd to ''endow naked Ka-

their barbaric warfare the heroic atmos-

who does not know what he is writing about.
The book is dedicated to Queen Kapiolani,
