EatnI Accident.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock a
fatal accident occurred in Kaai's house
mauka the Queens Hospital, which re-
suited in the death of a native child
named Kalau, aged two years and seven
months, the son of Samuel (k) and
Kaawa (w). The story told by Kaai to
the Marshal, Mr.. Kaulukou, who ar
rived at the house shortly after the oc-
currence, is substantially as follows:
The child's parents live near Kaai's
place just mauka the Queens Hospital.
Yesterday afternoon shortly before 4
o'clock the child came into Kaai's house.
Kaai had left loaded pistol and cart
ridges on a table in the room. The
child took the pistol from the table to
play with and accidentally shot himself.
The pistol bullet entered the face at the
left side OF the nose and came out of the
head near the right ear. Death resulted
almost Immediately.
The story of the child's death does not
seem to be altogether satisfactory to the
officers and the matter will be fully in
vestigated.

for use. As We have already remarked,
however, Mr.. Dole is entitled to the ben
eft OF the doubt upon this point,
and we are therefore prepared to apollo
gize for misrepresenting him to that eX-
tent. At the same time, it should not
be forgotten that at the very outset OF
his remarks on Friday he said that he
was willing to take the risk OF being
called disloyal for satirizing the soldiers.
And N that spirit he proceeded to be-
little and cast ridicule upon the Kings
Guards as an unreliable military organ
ization. We submit, therefore, that he
has only himself to blame for the wrong
impression his words conveyed, and We
sincerely hope that this will be lesson
TO him to be more guarded in future.
Mr.. Dole has an unfortunate tendency to
indulge in reckless statements, and 10
make sweeping and unjust charges.
This is unfortunate for himself, because it
mars what otherwise might be useful
public career. II he would be advised
by the ADVERTISER he would find him
/ self a greater political force than he is
now, or is ever likely to become by per
sistence in his present line OF conduct.
Referring to the discussion on the mill
tary vote as a whole, the Opposition did
not manifest either a spirit of loyalty OF
of fairnesss, and we submit that these are
motives which should govern the actions
Of legislators.

HILo, Hawaii, August 18th.
The Hawaiian Sunday-school Conven-
ton has been a great success. The
coming of Her Royal Highness Princess
Liliuokalani, having with her the Royal
Hawaiian Military Band, has been d
grand treat to the visitors as well as the
people Of Hilo. Everything has been
done by the people to cause the visitors
enjoyment. The Band has played
every evening (except Sunday since
they arrived here They have given
three concerts at Hail Church, at two OF
which there was an admission fee charged
for the benefit OF the Convention. The
building was packed each time. On
Saturday there was a fine luau for the
visitors On Sunday, the 18th instant,
there was a Union temperance meeting
in which the Sunday schools took part
and gave some fine choruses. There
were seventeen schools represented al
the Convention
Her Royal Highness the Princess Lii
uOkalani has been rendered two recep-
tions-one at the residence of c. n
Arnold, Esq, on the afternoon of the
18th inst, and the other the same evening
at the residence of L. Severance, Esq
The band was present on both occasions
Bishop Willis preached at the house
of G. n. Arnold on the 18th instant anC
administered baptism to several chill
dren. In the evening he preached at
the Foreign Church.
The last concert OF the band, which
was given at Hail Church, was very
much crowded, people standing up in
the aisles. Special mention should be
made of the entire programme of Eng
lish selections; but particular mention
must be made of the appearance OF
Emily Porter (soprano), who has not
appeared for several years, and the
debut of Miss Annie Rose as a solist on
her favorite instrument, the either
Puma furnished a fine chorus.
Mr. and Mrs. John A Scott gave a
delightful reception to their friends
(their first one since marriage) at THEN
new mansion at Wainaku on the 18th
instant. Her Royal Highness Princess
Liliuokalani was present and brought
with her the Royal Hawaiian Band. The
number present was probably larger
than any reception given in many years
in the district of Hilo. The rain did not
seem to deter any one, showing that
where there is a will there is way
Everything passed off to the great
pleasure of all. Hilo people cannot be
excelled in getting up treats which are
sure to please. AS for wedding recep
tions they are au fait. j. A. NJ.

MR.. DOLE AND THE MILITARY.

Mr.. Dole is certainly entitled to the
benefit OF the doubt suggested by his
personal explanation in the Legislature
on Saturday last. He did not charge
the military with cowardice in express
terms, but he went so very close to the
point that it was excusable in any one
to push his argument to its legitimate
conclusion His remarks were not by
any means confined to a criticism of the
organization and discipline of the mill
tary, as he attempted to show on Satur-
day, for he went the length OF declaring
his belief that the soldiers were not to
be relied upon in an emergency. He
said, as reported, that che could not
think what soldiers were wanted for
here beyond show. II any disturbance
arose, civilians could be put down as
ready to assist, and they would be more
reliable than these guards" Now, this
may not be a specific charge OF coward
ice, but it would suggest it to any
ordinary mind. Mr. Dole says that he
did not and does not question the per-
sonaI courage of Hawaiian soldiers he
only said that they are not to be de-
pended upon in any case OF emergency,
and that they are kept for show and not

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly adjourned
at noon on Saturday, after passing to
third reading bills relating to the pro-
lection of game and the carrying of fire
arms. There is great need for the en-
actment of law to prevent the destruc-
ton of wild birds In a few years sew
eral varieties of birds will be extermi-
mated unless a close season is enforced.
The bill which will pass the Legislature
meets with the approval of sportsmen,
who should take pains to have it's pro-
visions carried out. Insectiverous birds
especially have strong claims to protec-
ton for the good they do. Indeed, we
think that it would be advisable to in
troduce a greater variety of this class of
birds than are now in the country.
They might destroy fruit to some extent,
but this would be far more than counter
balanced. by their destruction of insects,
which, if unchecked, would soon become
pest to agriculture generally.
The suggestion made by His Excel
lency Mr. Gibson in reference to the
protection of food fish was an admirable
one. There can be no doubt whatever
that Chinese fishermen use nets, the
meshes of which are too fine. By so
doing they catch and destroy myriads
of young fish before they reach a stage OF
growth which renders them fit for food,
and thus make the supply scarce. As a
matter of fact, our waters have been
overfshed, and it would be sound
policy to enforce tabu on
fishing at certain places for several
years, as well as to regulate the
nets to be used. Fish enters 50 largely
into the food of the Hawaiian people
that their protection from wanton de-
struction becomes a question of public
policy and should not be neglected. Mr..
Gibson stated that he would introduce a
short bill on the subject
The report of the Bureau of Immigra-
ton was presented by His Excel
lency Mr.. Gibson, who paid a de-
served compliment to that document,
which had been prepared by his prede-
cessor, Mr.. Gulick. The English version
of the report had been ready long ago,
but the delay in printing the Hawaiian
version prevented an earlier presenta-
ton to the House. This report is a val
liable historical compilation, and fur
nishes reliable and complete informa-
ton regarding immigration to this King
dom.
The Committee on Commerce re-
ported adversely to the petition of the
growers and exporters of bananas. 1t
asked the Legislature to regulate steamer
freights by discriminating in their favor.
This is not the function of the Legisla-
ture. 1t should interfere as little as pos
sible with trade and commerce, which
always thrive best when left unfettered.
Once introduce the element of legal dis
elimination in the carrying trade and
unpleasant complications would soon
arise. As the committee suggested in
its report, the question of freight could
be amicably arranged between the par
ties interested.
