Attempted Robbery.

Last evening, about $50 o'clock, as
Mr. Frank May was on his way home
past the KawaiahO Church, he was at
tackled by burly native, who attempted
to rob him. He succeeded in breaking
away from his assailant, who followed
him to his home, and once more as
saulted him, striking him on the head.
Assistance being close at hand, the
would-be robber sought safety in flight,
but was captured shortly afterward by
the Waterman at the Government
building and conveyed to the Police Sta
ton. There he was recognized as Al
bert Bray, an old offender, and was
charged on the Station House books
with disorderly conduct. The prisoner
feigned drunkenness while in charge of
the police on his way to the Station
House, and cried while being searched,
but few sharp words from the Station
Keeper quoted him Immediately. Mr.
Mays clothes were much torn in his
struggle with the prisoner.

FRIDAY
THE LEGISLATURE.

Satisfactory progress was made by the
Legislative Assembly yesterday with
the business on the order paper Several
bills passed their third readings and
We're ordered to engrossment. Among
the new bills was one introduced by the
Attorney General to amend the law re-
garding the tonnage measurement of
vessels on the Hawaiian register. 1t il
proposed to assimilate our law to that of
the United States, which is in turn
based upon the English statute At the
present time, owing to our system of
measurement, Hawaiian vessels are at a
disadvantage not only in foreign ports,
but in our own domestic ports They
are rated on a larger tonnage than would
be the case did they fly the American or
English flag, and as all dues on shipping
are regulated by tonnage, it follows that
We are discriminating seriously against
our own shipping. The bill introduced
by His Excellency Mr. Neumann should
pass. Readers of the ADVERTISER will
remember that we brought this point
prominently forward before the Assem-
bly, convened, and We are gratifed to
find that the legal injustice to Hawaiian
shipping is in fair way OF being
fomedied. The discrimination against
Hawaiian bottoms under the law now
in force is equivalent to about 40 per
cent.

stated, these keepers are Hawaiian men,
and yet they are called upon 10 perform
FOR them all the delicate offices of a female
nurse. Five OF this class of patients are
foreIgners-almOst entirely incapable of
taking care of themselves-andO one of them
at least has, during a recent illness which
confined her To her bed complained bitter
ly OF being obliged to have man perform
the duties OF nurse for her. Some
measure OF relief should unquestionably be
provided. There should be at least three
more keepers provided-two males and
one female. As the population of these
Islands are constantly on the increase, 1t
IS plain that the number Of insane must
necessarily follow In q certain ratio. The
past few years have fully demonstrated
this, and / cannot think the future will
cause any decrease. l sincerely hope that
some relief will be given Us as soon as pos
sible.
A select committee OF the Legislature
visited the Insane Asylum, and doubt
less had the defects OF that institution
pointed out to them. There is no ex-
cuse for Withholding adequate attend
ance, and there should be no hesitation
in procuring, at whatever cost, a capable
and conscientious female nurse.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.

In the appendix to the report of the
Minister of the Interior will be found
DR.. Webb's report on the Oahu Insane
Asylum. 1t is not a very long document,
but there are several strong points i'm it.
The old buildings are greatly out Of
repair, and we may add they are likewise
unsuited for the purpose to which they are
put. There is an insufficient water sup
ply, and indeed such is the condition of
the institution that in the event of fire
the utmost that could be accomplished
by the keepers would be to save the in
mates lives. DIR. Webb states that all
the water used in and about the institu-
ton is carried from a brook consider
able distance away. This Is a very
serious inconvenience, and should be
remedied The physician in attendance
at the Insane Asylum further states that
although the insane use almost double
the quantity of water which sane people
do, they are often deprived OF it for
considerable length of time on account
of the keepers attending to other mat
tiers. This certainly should not be the
case. 1t would be too much to ask that
new insane asylum be built, but most
assuredly money should be provided by
the Legislature this session to put the
present buildings into thorough repair,
and connect the institution with the
city water system, as recommended by
DIR. Webb.
But this is not ALL The resident staff
of attendants is insufficient. Only four
men are employed as keepers, who are
on duty the year round night and day
in six-hour shifts, two keepers always
being on guard. This was the strength
OF the attendance when the Asylum con-
tanned only thirty inmates; it now con
tains seventy-five, and manifestly there
fore the attendance is insufficient. Dr.
Webb states in his report to the Minis
ter OF the Interior that there should be
at least three more keepers provided,
two males and one female We think
the suggestion Il reasonable and proper
one, more especially as from lack OF
assistance a Chinaman was recently
killed by one OF the patients.
1t will be in the recollection of our
readers that upon more than one occa-
sion the ADVERTISER brought promi
nently before the public the fact that
there is no female attendant at the In
sane Asylum, although there are several I
female inmates, and we endeavOred to
enlist the sympathy of the ladies OF
Honolulu for the latter. Nothing came /
of it. however. DIR. Webb now brings .
out the point officially, and to empha-
size our former remarks we reprint the
paragraph from his report in which ne
deals with it. He says:

Sir James Morrisey, theatrical agent,

men in the Continental Hotel, holding 10
his hand a blood-stained splinter from

blood of Jesse James. This piece of wood
is from the plank in the floor where the
notorious outlaws head struck when he was
slain by the Ford boys at st. Joseph, Mo.
l was in st. Joseph shortly after James's
assassination, and, like every one else that
went there, visited the house where Jesse
met his death-the house which stands on
the summit of big bluff. and is owned by
an old widow woman. The number of Wis
itors to the place was so great that she be-

to enter the place and fifty cents for cut

how | come into possession OF this. 1t was
not long until the entire POI ton of floor
where the bandit fell was cut to pieces,
"A few months ago l was again in ST,

THE LOOKOUT AND STRIKES.

Within the past few days several
thousand cigarmakers and their CO.
laborers in this city have been forced
out of employment by reason of want
of agreement in respect Of wages
with the views of their employers
and the iron-clad rules by which they
and their employers are respectively
governed by their associations. AT
any time this occurrence would be
regarded as a misfortune, but at this
season of the year-the middle of
winter-it is generally looked upon
in the light of a calamity. People,
as a rule, sympathize with both sides
to the controversy-with the work
men because of the privation 10
which they will be subjected while
unemployed, even with the aids their
unions may afford them, and with
the employers on account Of the de-
rangement of their business and in
cidental losses. Few in the express
sion of their feeling stop to learn the
merits or particulars of the question
in dispute, and all unite in wishing
that incidents of this nature might
be in some way prevented.
Leaving details of the unfortunate
affair to the display in our other col
umns, we express the hope that tho
long-prevailing harmony betweer
employers and employees now tenn.
porarily disturbed will be speedily
restored.-New York Tobacco Leaf

The Indian Question.

Detroit Free Press: A tall and
commanding-looking Indian from
the Canada side, having a big load
of door-mats on his back, was tramp
ing up Randolph street yesterday,
when man in a saloon beckoned
him in. The red mans face lighted
up with "ten cents apiece" smile of
satisfaction as he walked in. There
were three men present, and they
seemed to be in a hilarious state.
"See here, old copper-face," said
one, as he shut and locked the door,
"I'm down on Injuns, first, last and
all the time. They shot an uncle OF
mine, and I've sworn revenge. Mebbe
