Among the passengers booked by the
Alameda for San Francisco tomorrow is
Mr.. David A. Mckinley, until now Consul
for the United States at this port. Mr..
Mckinley ceases to act in that capacity
to-day. Mr.. Frank P. Hastings, Vice
Consul, with Mr.. A. w. Richardson,
Acting Clerk, will conduct the business Of
the Consulate until Mr.. McKiuley's sue
cessor arrives from San Francisco by the
MaripOsa. 1t is unfortunate that Motif
cation of his intention to leave by the
Alameda had not been given sooner, as
we are certain that the business men of
Honolulu az body would nave joined in
a suitable entertainment to Mr.. Mckinley,
as a kind of public leave taking. Indeed,
all classes of citizens would doubtless de-
light to do him honor. 1t is too late,
perhaps, for any effective demonstration
now, but the hearty good wishes of all go
with him, and he will long be remembered
as a painstaking, obliging and strictly up
right man, who did credit to his Office in
every social relation during his long resi-
dence in Honolulu.

THE INTERNATIONAL POSTAL CON
GRESS.
Important Changes Made by GhC
international Postal Union.

Mr.. Eugene Borel, Director General of
the Universal Postal Union, who accepted
the position of representative of the Ha-
waiian Kingdom at the U. p. U. Congress
of Lisbon, has made his report to Mr..
Gibson, Minister of Foreign Affairs. We
make the following extracts from the re-
port as being of interest to many on these
islands. The Congress was opened Feb
ruary 18th, by Mr.. Jose Riconte Barbosa
du Borcage, Minister of Foreign Affairs of
Portugal, and was presided over by Mr..
de Barros, Director General of Portuguese
Posts. 1t closed on the 21st of March.
There were fifteen diplomatic acts signed.
The only important change, as re-
CARDS our postal service, made by the
Lisbon Congress, IS the reduction of the
surtax of five cents now charged by most
of the distant countries in the Postal
Union, to three cents, so that postage to
Europe and other surtaxed countries will,
after April l, 1886, be reduced to eight
cents, instead of ten cents as now. This
will cause temporary reduction in our
receipts for postage.
The remaining acts of the Lisbon
Congress do not specially effect the postal
service of Hawaii, though it is clear that
the increasing call for an international
parcel post, which is now extensively used
between the European countries, will soon
compel US to take action on the subject.
The following are the principal points
settled by the Congress:
Post cards-The use of reply post cards
those countries that do not themselves is
sue such cards, are bound to return the
reply cards which they receive from other
countries.
Commercial papers and printed matter
The provision was adopted that those
articles must not exceed As centimetres
(172 inches) in length, depth and width.
Ownerships of letters in the course of
conveyance the exception of the
delegations of Great Britain and certain
number of English speaking countries,
the representatives, of all other States
were of the opinion that the ownership of
a postal article is vested in the sender I'M
til the moment when that article leaves
the custody of the Post to be delivered in
the regular course to the addressee. A
new provision was accordingly adopted by
which the right is granted to the sender
of an article of correspondence to with
modify the address as long as it has not
been delivered to the addressee. In COM
pIiance with the objection of those Admin
istrations which, as is the case with
the Hawaiian Post Office, hold, on the
contrary, that the sender ceases to be the
owner of the articles as soon as he en-
trusts them to the Post Office, it was de-

+" EAST, WEST AND MIDDLE"

The moon being near the full, the
'iEvening Bulletin Out-shone itself
on Friday last, in its great historical
and chronological medley "East, West
and Middle" The e" fifteen puzzle 1"
is not a sensation compared to that
editorial crazyquilt. Readers of it are
told that there is more civilization
in this Kingdom than ever was at
tanned by any people in the earth
within SO limited period of time, "and
almost in the next breath they are
informed that whatever there is of
this civilization - has been imported
from Europe and America, and there
fore has not been attained" by these
people at all. In other words, en-
igrants from Europe and Ameri
ca brought their civilization with
them, and imposed their institutions
upon a docile aboriginal people, of
Asiatic stock, who have made COM

mendable progress in civilization,
but who are as whole not very far
removed from baTbarism.
This civilization is now threatened
with extinction, according to the
Bulletin" The fate that over
wheImed the Roman Empire threat
ems to engulf this Kingdom. The
Goth is laundering at our gates; or
rather, the "Iittle brown man from
Asia is landing quietly on our
shores, bringing with him an older
civilization, greater industry, and
far more perfect industrial methods
than any we can boast of. This ex-
cites the patriotic ire of our evening
contemporary, and he exclaims, his
prophetic eye with frenzy rolling:
The fall of this Kingdom into barbarism
will be more terrible than that Of the Roman
Empire into political extinction. The
higher the nation stands in the heights of
the worlds civilization, the more disastrous
will the downfall be. That civilization here
is of higher and better type than ever was
of the Romans, scarcely admits Of doubt.
In her free liberation Of all creeds and re-
ligions, her courts of justice, her laws, her
public schools and colleges, and all other
practical appliances of the most advanced
socie ty IN Europe and America, the King
dom Of Hawaii is centuries ahead of Rome.
And yet as affairs go at present, the total

question of a very few years.
Shall we rest here or pursue this
subject further? The temptation to
pursuit is strong, as the gems of
thought are many in " East, West
and Middle" But we must deny
ourselves this pleasure for the present
at least. The conclusion of the whole,
however, is worth recording. The
Bulletin" says this Asiatic inva-
sion must be stopped. g Preserve the
labor of the country for it's native
workmen, and the institutions for
the people and their descendants. :"
All well and good but what will the
Planters Labor and Supply Company
say to this proposal? According to
their solemn declaration, nothing
will save this country from ruin but
cheap Asiatic labor. And this Com
pany represents, perhaps, the highest
type of Western civilization in this
Kingdom, which the Bulletin
thinks is destined to go out with a
stink, like a tallow dip, if Asiatic
immigration is to continue. Either
our evening contemporary does not
understand what it has been writing
about, or the highly civilized Chris
uan gentlemen who represent the
planting interest of Hawaii, must be
the most short-slghted pack of fools
on the face of this earth. 1t is not for
us to say which is right or which is
wrong; but we really do think that
our esteemed contemporary should
be watched somewhat closely as GER

ICE HOUSE .
A Novel Structure Built For Mr..
James Campbell.

Mr. G. W. Lincoln has just completed
for Mr.. James Campbell an ice house,
which is as neat and complete as anything
of the kind We ever saw. The site chosen
for the buildiDg-foT such it isis on the
lot adjoining the market on the Eva side,
just above the new lime-kiln. The de-
sign and plan of the ice house are Mr..
Campbell's, and Mr.. Lincoln has carried
out his ideas in athoroughly workmanlike
manner.
The building is two roomed, the front
part, Is feet by II feet, being al ante
room to the ice room proper. This is a
space feet wide, feet high and 10 feet
deep, enclosed by walls IA inches thick.
Twelve inches of this thickness is filled
with rice hulls, and the inside walls, cell
ing, floor and doors are lined with zinc.
The cei.iig and the doors are of the same
thickness aS the walls, the former being
with sawduSt. Tie doors are filed with
charcoal. Thus on all sides, above and
below, there is foot in thickness of non
conducting material of the best kind.
The doors, Of which there are two, each
! feet by 3 feet, axe Luilt with double
offsett, SO that when closed they fit the
jambs alright. In each side of the room,
about one foot from the ceiling, are two
inch pipes, provided with valve cocks on
the inside, so that supply of air can be
admitted at any time aud in any desired
quantity.
Fastened to the ceiling of the room. in
I the center, is the box for the ice. This
box is made of sheet iron, hung from the
ceiling by iron straps, and having under
meath if a shelf. The box is feet long,
Is inches wide and 2 feet deep. and will
hold IL cubic feet of ice. 1t is filed from
above, there being an arrangement fixed
for hosting the blocks of ice to the top of
the ice house, which is fitted with a trap
door of the size of the box. From the
lower edge of the box in front pipe is
fixed to carry off the melted ice water.
This pipe extends to the floor of the
house, and is led to the jamb between the
two doors. 1t then rises to the level of
the floor of the box, and is led through
the jamb to the outside of the ice house.
The top of the ice house is rooted over,
and in the sides of the building covering
it are Venetian blinds so that the top of
the ice house is protected from the direct
heat of the sun. The work has been very
neatly and thoroughly finished by Mr..
Lincoln, the zine lining being put on as
smoothly as if it were made of cloth, and
the doors fitting as tight and snug as pos
I sfbie.
1t is intended by Mr.. Campbell to use
this ice house for the storage of meat sent
in from his ranch, to be sold by Mr.. Nc
'Candless. There will be twenty strong
hooks fastened in the ceiling, and the
space will be large enough to store
between two and three thousand pounds
of beef at a time The whole building
may be taken as model for those who
want an ice house on d large scale. The
principle used in its construction is scien-
tifcally correct, and the skill shown in
carrying out Mr.. Campbell's plans reflects
credit on Mr.. Lincolp, the builder.

Fourth of July Celebration

A meeting of the Committees appointed
for the celebration of the coming Fourth

lowing resolution was adopted:
tThat the Executive Committee be en-
powered to arrange the programme of
exercises on the Fourth of July to come
off at Kapiolani Park. And that a GER
tain proportion of the amount contributed
to defray the expenses of the day be
placed at the disposal of the Ball Com

THE INTERNATIONAL POSTAL CON
GRESS.

Business men will read with inter-
where, of proceedings at the Inter
national Postal Congress recently
held in Lisbon. AS Hawaii is
member of the International Posta
Union, all changes made in the rules
and regulations governing it are
necessarily matters of concern to
our mercantile classes. Owing to our
insular position, however, we cannot
avail ourselves to any great extent of
the facilities which the parcels post
offers to contiguous countries; but we
may anticipate a very material
increase to the departmental work of
eur Post Office as result of the in
creased facilities which the Lisbon
Postal Congress gives to the distribu
ton of all kinds of printed matter.
And this Increased work will not,
unfortunately, bring with it CORES
ponding revenue. We are not, of
course, finding fault with this country
for becoming a member of the Inter
be some cOmpensating advantages.
We simply note the fact, and regret
that ii should be SO.
We cannot help remarking, how
ever, upon the apparent tendency of
the International Postal Union to go
into an express delivery business. In
densely populated countries, where
transportation agencies are cheap
and almost perfect, this may be sue
cessfully attempted, but it is wholly
inapplicable to US. We shall be bet
ter able to judge of the effect of the
new legislation by the International
Postal Congress in the course of six
mouths, when American business
firms begin to flood this country with
their multitudinous devices for adj
vertising and extending their bust
ness. Meanwhile we have to note a
reduced postage to Europe which,
it is to be hoped, will be made up by
increased correspondence.

Fatal Accident.

While the Kinau was at HilO, Hawaii,
last Thursday, one of the deck hands,
named Kaaeanae, while engaged in wash

was at once notified and came on board.
He held an examination which resulted in
its being found that the man had fallen

Members of fire and military companies
should bear in mind that if they wish to be
exempted from the payment of personal
taxes they must have paid up their dues on

the exemption. The fact that their names
are on the returns made by the Secretary of
