Mr.. |. B. Peterson, Assistant
Postmaster, has been laid aside from
duty, for about week past, by
illness.
Mr.. j. T. Baker was addressing
a crowd of natives from horseback
at the Anchor Saloon this forenoon.
Passers-by had to take to the muddy
streets owing to the obstruction.
Other politicians commit similar
encroachments on public rights, and
the police authorities would do
right to recommend them, each and
all, to hire a hall for verbal COM
munications with the "free and en-
lightened."
Mr.. Hermann Lubbock, who lives
at Iwilei, lost sl6O in paper on his
way home from work on the steamer
lwalani last evening, and is pre-
pared TO pay liberal reward for
its recovery. He went by way of
King street, then past the Oahu
Prison and the slaughter house to
his home. 1t is heavy loss for
workingman, and it is to be hoped
the money has been picked up by
an honest person who will restore it.

BY the steamer Iwalani that ar
rived yesterday morning news was
received of floating timber that may
lead to the discovery of some catas-
trophe or to the possible destiny of
the missing schooner Domitila. A
large raft made of new timber in
pieces about 30 feet long, one inch
thick, II inches wide and marked
X, was found lashed together with
a 3-inch rope. 1t was stranded on
the reef between Honokaa and Pa
auhau. 1t was discovered on Mon
day of last week, and on the follow
ing day the steamer Iwalani towed
it off the rocks. There were about
loo feet of rough boards on the
raft, which was taken apart and
brought to Honolulu. Conjectures
are numerous, but as yet all are
dubious.
A FIERCE southerly wind was howl
ing this morning. The harbor was
covered with white-caps. The
Pele, the steam scow and other
small craft took shelter at the north
ern extremity of the bay. The
larger vessels creaked and groaned
against the wharves, while the
wind whistled mournfully through
the riggings. A fishing sloop was
washed against the stone bulkhead
near the Honolulu Yacht and Boat
Club house. Her boom and sails
were washed away, and while she
was gradually filling with every
large wave her hull bumped against
projecting stones. The rain, though
of short duration, would come down
in binding sheets, compelling pedes-
TRANS to dive under cover and re-
tarding shipping operations to some
extent.
