About Boiler Inspection.

ED. z. G.. ADvERTIsER-Sir: In view
of the serious accident that has occurred
TO the Mariposa's boiler, it is suggest
i've and evolves another warning to
steamship owners, steam users gener-
ally, and first of all to our Government,
that efficient periodical inspection shall
be exercised on all boilers. Wherein so
many lives are daily at stake, it is duty
resting upon us.
In Great Britain all boilers for passen-
ger steamers are designed and con-
structed according to Board of Trade or
Lloyd's rules. Before boiler can be
made drawings of the same have to be
submitted for their approval, so that any
defect in design may be pointed out. In
process of construction the workmanship
is inspected. When finished they are
tested in presence OF the Surveyor and
certificate granted, subject to renewal
every six months.
So far as my experience has gone on
these Islands, boilers are constructed
and are in use on board of steam vessels
leaving these ports, according to no uni
form fixed rule or law A consequence is
many show signs OF failure very soon,
when comparatively new, which could in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-02-17

a great measure be obviated by careful
design to begin with.
l shall mention one reprehensible
practice for the benefit of my mechanical
friends, which may have been the cause
of the present disaster.
A boiler, say of $50 to 200 tubes-they
are put in, expanded and beaded over,
and not a single stay tube in the whole.
All that holds that tube sheet is the
slight riveting on the end of each tube.
During the process OF heating and cool
ing OF the surfaces the law of expansion
and contraction takes place. In time the
ends of the tubes get crystalized, and
are thus in a most dangerous condition,
and tube sheet may, by the slightest
extra strain, be blown out with terrible
results.
The Board of Trade insists that there
shall be relative number OF stay tubes,
say every fourth in line, with nuts both
outside and inside, thereby perfect safely
! is insured.
| Two much care cannot be bestowed
on the construction of marine boilers in
having the most approved designs, good
practical workmanship and periodical
inspection while in use, as they are sub
jected to great strains and subtitle cor
roding influences.
Trusting this may draw the attention
of our Government and others to adopt
tho bact STStarn calculated To insure the
greatest safety to human life, l am, etc.

ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

The Opposition papers have been con-
strained to recognize the wisdom OF the
Governments immigration policy; but
with characteristic unfairness it is sug-
gested that the proclamation excluding
Chinese from and after April LIST has not
been issued in good faith. 1t is of course
useless to argue this point with the OPP
position press, and demonstrate the un-
tenableness Of their position. But a state
ment of fact will show the public that
the Government has been not merely
sincere, but successful in its anti-Chinese
policy, while providing abundance of
labor for the planting interests.
It will be remembered that the
Planters Labor and Supply Company
brought strong and sustained pressure to
bear upon the Administration when it
was admittedly weak, to induce it to
throw the ports open to unrestricted
Chinese immigration, with the intention
of overrunning the country and reducing
the nriRe eff 1l9qRafff e eeffdsed compliance
with this request, and instead made reg
ulations rendering Chinese immigration
more difficult. For this the Administra-
ton encountered the strenuous opposi-
ton of the members of the Planters
Labor and Supply Company, whose only
aim or purpose appears to be to secure
''cheap labor" and who have no appar-
emit concern for the prosperity and per
manenee of the native race.
The recent I equation is intended to
exclude still more effectively the Chinese
labor element, and in this way indirectly
to help the native and white labor ele-
ment in our industrial classes. That it
will be evaded in some cases is likely
enough. There has never been law of
this kind in operation that has been car
ried out to the letter in all cases, and
common sense should teach any one
that this must be So If it be broadly
successful that is all that is needed or
can be expected That there are far too
many Chinese in the country is admitted
by everybody except the Opposition
planters and their friends, and it may
become advisable hereafter to adopt
other measures of exclusion.
Japanese immigration has been sue
cessfully inaugurated by the Govern
ment, and the present week has wit
messed the arrival of nearly one thousand
Japs, of whom large percentage are
females. There are now nearly three
thousand Japanese in the country; and
since Mr.. Gibson took Office, 1854 Por-
tuguese have been introduced. In addi-
ton to this accession to our population,
the arrival of several hundred Portuguese
may be shortly expected, and this field
of labor supply is to be thoroughly
worked.
We have thus two streams of immigra-
ton flowing to these Islands outside the
Chinese channel, and the successful hand
ling of these people, and their future
Identification with this country, will
greatly depend upon the gradual weak
ening of the hold which the Chinese,
through the selfish cupidity of the Oppo-
sition, have fastened upon the Kingdom.

ABOUT "FIUNKEYIsM AND THINGS.

A letter on "Flunkeyism, over the
initials &C. w. A." appeared in the
s.Bulletin'' last Monday, in which the
writer airs his ignorance and gratifies his
spleen. He says:
- Is it not something out of keeping with
the democratic profession of the owners
and managers of the Oceanic Steamship
Co. that their American built and Ameri-
can owned vessels should be persistently
described as the "Royal Mail Steamers
so-and so? And yet that branch of their
establishment which holds forth in the P.
c. ADVERTISER office in this city invariably
refers to those fine ships with the Royal
prefix This is contemplate. This is
f1unkeyism run wild.
&C. w. A" is as usual ill-informed
and rude. The steamships of the Union
and Oceanic Companies are under con-
tract to carry the Royal Mall" and are
therefore ''RoyaI Mail steamers" This
is the inyariable style, and the steamers

WE learn great many things from
our contemporaries. For example, the
Gazette" says that Sir Alexander Stuart
resigned the Premiership of New South
Wales through i'll health. The truth is
he resigned for another and much more
sufficient reason. Having been defeated
in the Legislature, he appealed to the
country; but the country pronouncing
against him, he necessarily resigned.
He had no alternative. This, however,
is nothing against him. Leaders of
parties under constitutional government
must always expect reverses owing to
change of public opinion. If Sir Alex
ander Stuart had been in the enviable
position of His Excellency Mr.. Gibson
at the general election, he would to-day
be Chief Secretary in the New South
Wales Government.

Gladstonians for their many reverses
elsewhere. In London the doubtful
seats have been captured by the tories,
and the safe seats are retained by scanty
maiorities. Sir Charles Dixie and Mr..
Thorold Rogers 60 down in the general
ruin. Mr.. Justin McCarthy's failure to
win a seat in Londonderry will be re-
gretted by many Of the admirers Of
that gifted writer. For him, as for Mr..
Groschen, a seat will probably be found
elsewhere before the elections are COR
cluded. The defeat Of Mr.. Gladstone
seems to be conceded by his own sup
pOrters. The agricultural labOrers
saved him from utter discontinue last
November after the boroughs had gone
against him, and it is not certain that
they will not repeat that performance.
A Gladstone ministry is now, however,
it may perhaps be conceded, out of the
question. The present cabinet may be
expected to resign about the middle of
August Whether the cabinet that
succeeds it will command a working
majority of tory votes, or will need the
help of the liberal-unionists, is the
problem now occupying the minds of
British politicians.
