Tho Soavenging,

The new order about the disposal of
refuse was the occasion of much dis
cusslon about town yesterday. Some
doubted that the decree implied com
plete abandonment of the Scavenging
service by the Government, but those
who put out containers of refuse and
saw them lying untouched all day we're
convinced on that score. Last night
heaps of sweepings were to be seen in
the Fort street cutters, so that if the
Government means business a crop of
test cases may be anticipated shortly.
Before the contract was made which
apparently has just fallen through, the
scayengng service was in the hands of
the Board of Health, and some people
think that body should have resumed
it, at least, until longer notice had been
given the public. Private enterprise
has stepped in, however, to offer relief
on easy terms to the public. Mr..
Burgess will require little time to
ascertain just what amount of equip
ment and labor the work requires, and
it is to be hoped the authorities will be
lcnient, in the emergency of their own
creation, until the private service is
systemized.

Honolulu Rifles.

This corps had its monthly meeting
last evening, with splendid muster of
nearly forty members. Five new mem
bers we're enrolled. The night of reg
ular meetings was changed from
Wednesday TO Thursday. Votes Of
thanks were passed to Hon. John A.
Cummins, chairman, and the other
members Of the Jubilee Committee for
courtesies extended to the Rifles dur
ing the festivities, and to the Hawaiian
Rifle Association for the use of its
shooting range. Capt. Ashford gave
orders for a radical change to begin
forthwith in the matter of drill. In
stead of drilling in company, the corps
will be drilled in squads by the differ
ent sergeants. This applies TO all the
members, not merely to recruits, and is
calculated TO be OF advantage to the
scrgeants as well as to the rank and
ile, besides being the regulation
method.

tary, being at his post. The foreman,
as chairman Of the committee on deco
ratlons, reported surplus of $40 left
from the $50 granted the company by
the Jubilee Committee for decorating
the hall on the night of the torchlight
procession. AS on similar occasions
formerly the balance has usually been
on the wrong side, the good manage
ment of the committee was much APP
precated by the members, who ten
dered the committee a vote of thanks
The representatives at the Board were
instructed to vote for the division of
the $500 donated by the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, as recon-
mended by the Chief Engineer at the

God to remove by death the late
lamented William b. Wright, one of
the organizers of Mechanic Engine
Company No. and the first member
to sign the roster of said company;
and
WHEREAS, 1t is but fitting that we
should at least respect the memory of
him who so faithfully served the Homo
lulu Fire Department in various
capacities and the interests of this
company in particular:
Therefore be it resolved, That by
the demise OF the deceased this com
pany has lost an exemplary fireman,
the Government faithful employee,
and his widow a kind and devoted hus-
band;
Rcsoi0ed, That this company condole
with the family of the decease in their
bereavement and pray that the All
wise would have them in His
keeping;
Resol0ed, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of the com.
pany, and copy thereof be forwarded
to the widow of the deceased.
Mr.. Smith introduced a resolution
to instruct representatives of the com
pany at the Board to vote against the
proposed division of the Inter-Isanc
Steam Navigation Co.'S donation. The
opposition to this resolution was SC
strong, however, that it was withdrawn
by the mover, and resolution giving
instructions in favor of the division o.
the money was carried.

Tower, with rally of a dozen mem

A FIFTEEN MILLION BILL

The House has so far occupied two days in
debate on the River and IIarbOr BILL but for all
practical purposes ii might well have passed
the bill in the beginning under a suspension of
the rules The Secretary of War recommended
an appropriation of $1O,176,O0O, and the COM
mittee increased the sum to $15 125,O 900. 1t
will be fortunate for the country if this amount
is not increased several millions more before
the bill reaches the President. There is no
hope of any reduction by the House.
The great trouble with this bill Is that il is
sectional, when it ought to be National. 1t is
made up Oh plan of dividing the public money
among the different States without any particu-
lar regard to the merits of the waterways to be
improved This is one reason why Kentucky
gets $1,17O,O0O and Missouri $l,O65,OOO
under this bill, while only 1878, 900 is given to
New-Y York and but a small portion of that is
available for improvements in the harbor
Fifty five per cont of all the foreign commerce
of the country passes through New York Har-
bOr Any saving i'll the charges on this COM
merce benefits the entire country. The largest
vessels can only pass the bar at high water.
This causes detention which is an element in
regulating the charges on that commerce. 1t
would have been wisdom for Congress years
ago to have begun a satisfactory Improvement
of the harbOr here. Such an expenditure would
