Location of the New Depot.

ce-president Malott, of the Union Railway
Company, the city commissioner several
councilmen and number of business men spent
an hour yesterday in Mr.. Maott's office looking
over the plans for the new depot and then Wis
tied the ground where it is proposed to locate the
new depot, for the purpose of which it will be
necessary to vacate certain streets and portions
of streets, and open others. With but few ex-
captions, every property owner in the vicinity of
the location seems anxious to have the matter
settled to meet the views of the officials of the
company, and seems still more anxious to have
the improvement begun.

THE SCHEME OF RAYS SUPPORTERS.
How Some Of the Democratic Politicians Hope
to Get Dark Horse Nominated.

A great many people have been surprised at
the boom which has been given Scott Rays
candidacy in opposition to Bynum for the
Democratic nomination for Congress-. It has
never been suspected by those acquainted with
the reputation Of the aggressive Shelby county
editor that he was a man of any popu-
larity, and the cry that is going up for
his nomination is thing that
the unsuspecting citizen cannot understand. 1t
is well understood that Ray, as a candidate.
would be quite as weak as Bynum, for the
reason that the opposition to him in his OWE
county is as bitter as that to Bynum in this city.
The loud talk and apparent enthusi
asm of the politicians in support of
his candidacy is nsincere, as they no
more desire his nomination than Bynum's,
and they would be sorely disappointed if
the convention on next Thursday should make
him the party's candidate. He is being used in
the fight against Bynum simply as a weapon. A
prominent politician who has been encouraging
his canvass admitted to a Journal reporter that
the nomination of Ray is not desired OF expected
by the men who are supporting him;
But" he said, RAY is the only man
available as leader in the fight
against Bynum He is an aggressive man, and
.has succeeded in gaining the friendship of the
saloon element by his recent attacks upon Police
Commissioner Murphy, for permitting the en-
forcement of the saloon laws while Lang was
superintendent of the force There was
ganization Of the opposition to Bynum, and
it was necessary to bring out
man around whom the opponents of the
Congressman could rally. Ray is the man
chosen to lead this fight His candidacy repre-
sents the opposition to Bynum. which, under his
leadership, is being organized. It is expected
that he will be able to prevent the nomination of
Bynum, but that he will not be able to get it
himself. OF course, this means the selection of
some person upon whom the antagonistic fac
tions unite. There is nothing better that
can be done than to support Ray with the hope
of bringing about this state of affairs"

gates who are opposed to Bynuna," and nothing
IS said about their being pledged to TIE support
of Ray.
The reports from his alarmed friends regard
ing the formidable opposition to him, have
evidently excited the apprehension of Mr..
Bynum. as. close upon the announcement that
he would not be present at the convention unless
an emergency should make it necessary for him
to be here, he has telegraphed his friends that
he would leave for home to-day.

reserved seat for reporters in q
front position, where they can see
and hear and report accurately?
Preposterous nonsense! That is
the place for the Colonels, Majors,
Captains, Excellencies, and the
staggering wind-bags that never
learnt the manners nor acquired the
habits of gentlemen! The honest
reporter who strives hard to furnish
the outside world with correct
account of proceedings, and is
soundly abused if he fails in his
duty, is relegated TO back seat.
A long as this custom prevails it
is unreasonable and unjust to blame
the reporter for imperfections that
arise from not properly hearing or
seeing. No doubt, the lack of faci-
lities Of which we complain. and in
which we believe every paper in
Honolulu will agree with us, is
mostly the result of thouehtlcss-

THE PRESS TAKES A BACK SEAT.

A function of the newspaper press
is to report the proceedings of
public gatherings or semi-public
gathering, and so desirous are
those who have the management of
affairs, of having proceedings re-
ported, in all civilized countries,
that they usually afford reporters
every possible facility. Not only
are reporters admitted free of
charge where fee is collectable
from the general public, but posi-
tion convenient for seeing and hear
ing is allotted to them, and tables
provided, when possible, for their
use in taking notes. Where men,
bers of the press are excluded, or
attempted to be excluded, the public
usually regard it as suspicious
circumstance, to the discredit of the
excluders.
In Honolulu there is, as a rule,
readiness to admit reporters, and
on easy terms, too: in fact, desire
that publicity should be given,
through the newspapers, to pro-
ceedings. And il the reporter is
not on hand, or the report is not
Forthcoming in due time, don't we
get wigging through the tele-
phone! OF course, it occasionally
happens that the courtesy of an in
vitation, or ticket, or notifica-
ton is inadvertently omitted; but
generally the event is expected to
be noticed all the same, and if not,
the reason why not demanded. 1t
also sometimes occurs that one
paper may be unfairly privileged to
the exclusion of others. which, of
course, the privileged party always
regards as an unjust partiality that
he himself is liable, in turn, to be
subjected to. Generally speaking,
these are small matters which Homo
lulu papers are magnanimous
enough to ignore, on the principle
that a" it pleases them and does us
no harm"
There is, however, one little pecu-
liarity in the treatment of reporters
by the people here, who welcome
their presence and desire their re-
ports, that men experienced in the
profession in other countries are un-
accustomed to. 1t is this: convent
ences for accurately reporting an
address, play, a concert, etc., are
distinguishable with signal clear
ness by their entire absence. A

of such a thing in Honolulu, out

AN INTERESTING OLD LADY.

An interesting old Hawaiian
woman, Nakoko, resides on Emma
street, whose age probably exceeds
80. OF course, she does not know
precisely when she was born, nor
where but she refers to events that
are known to have taken place
nearly 80 years ago, as having oc-
CURED when she was quite big
girl. She has q distinct remem-
brance of King Kamehameha the
First. Her teeth are still in her
mouth, and as sound as those of a
young girl of Is. Her hair is white
as silver, and as thick as a new
broom. She is never sick, has a
good appetite, and possesses a
stomach equal to every emergency.
Her memory and other intellectual
faculties are bright and vigorous.
The old lady is devout adherent
of the Roman Catholic Church, and
never neglects an opportunity of
public worship, rain or shine.

the S. s. Oregon was the first to be
placed on the record. The circum-
stances are of such recent date, that
they are known to all. Strange to
say, the Oregon was what might be
termed an extra boat. She was not
built for the Cunard Company,
neither was she of the same style as
their magnificent line of steamers,
but nevertheless she was Cunarder
when lost, having passed into their
hands, owing to the settlement of
some monetary transactions.
And now come the steamers of the
present day. The Cunard company
still lead the van. The SIS. Etruria,
though not liked by many who have
travelled on her, has made the time
from New York to Liverpool and
cice cerso in sir and hay days.
She is floating palace. judging
from descriptions, and beats any
boat on the Atlantic. Whether she
pdys or not, is another question.
Her consumption of coal is $40 tons
per day, or over 1000 tons of coal
on the voyage. The S. s. Britannia
running in the interests of an oppo-
sition company, makes the trip on
an average of 81 days, and an aver
age consumption of 100 tons of coal
per day, or $50 tons for the voyage,
and has more available space for
carrying freight.
1t is on the Pacific, however, that
we are naturally most interested.
Here the steamboat traffic is still in
its infancy, with large field of
possibilities before it. Going south
to Australasia, we find wonderful
increase within the past twenty
years. Coming North to the regions
that embrace the Hawaiian Islands,
we see the beginning of steamship
enterprise which promises to develop
to large proportions. The splendid
steamers of the o. S. S. Co., con-
Meeting America with Australasia
and taking Hawaii into the circuit,
floating the American and Hawaiian
flags, are but the fore-runners of a
more active future. The Canadian
transcontinental railway will in all
probability shortly prove an import.
ant agency in the growth of steam
boat enterprise in this ocean. Ha'
