A MYSTERY IN MoLokAI CHANNEL.

by the steamer w. q. Hall that
arrived yesterday afternoon an ac-
count is received of a remarkable
episode in Molokai channel. On
last Tuesday at p. NJ, the above
named steamer left this port on her
regular route. At dusk that even
ing, when off Molokai lights and
steaming toward Maui, the officers
of the steamer sighted vessel about
one mile ahead. The wind was then
very light, such as would drive
schooner about three knots an hour,
and Notwithstanding the speed of
the w. G.. Hall IL knots per hour),
she was unable to gain, in the least,
upon the vessel ahead. AS the
chase continued the stranger occa-
sionally showed flash lights, as is
done by vessels when in danger of
being run down. This vessel was
without doubt steamer, and fast
one too. Positively it was not the
kinau, as that steamer did not leave
here until 4 O'Clock that afternoon,
and the action of the mysterious
vessel as herein related will show
that she was strange craft. In
the first place, were she any of the
inter-island boats Except the XII
nau) she would have been over
taken by the Hall. Then, when
about eight miles from Lahaina,
Maui, two bonfire lights were seen
on the northwest point of Maui.
At about $3.50 O'Clock, when the
steamer Hall branched off for Ma
alaea Bay, the stranger put about,
retraced her course and that was
the last seen of her. The belief is
that this vessel had opium and the
boniires were signals of danger.

tic 0cld for ID day work Much
progress certainly cannot be looked
for, under such circumstances as
stated; and probably not much is
expected. On the subject of play,
it would no doubt be universally
conceded, that "all work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" I
cannot but believe, that the provi-
sion of proper amusements would
better the tone of the school, and
play large part in decimating the
assertions. l lately gave bat and
ball to the boys, and have expert
enced a change in their conduct in
school. To give them chance to
play base ball or cricket, foot ball,
kite-nying, marbles and the like,
and some bright books with interest
ing pictures, for an hour in the
evening, would go long way in i'm
proving their condition. But this
would Dccessitate personal interest
in the boys, and considerable atten-
ton, which fear only religious
principle could actuate and continue,
under such disappointments. l have
said that my teaching is interrupted
by the visits of the bandmaster. l
want to say further. that l do not
begrudge the time taken away from
me, for the bani is an excellent fea-
ture, to say nothing of the drill,
which they also get in vocal music,
both in Hawaiian and English. The
training of these boys in instruments
of music, is an excellent idea, and a
great benefit to the boys, and we
might say to the nation. They are
not taught specifically, but are
drilled most energetically, in the
notes themselves, do not play by
ear, but read music. As q result
some of these boys are in the Royal
Band, some of them in the bands Of
Waikiki and Kohala. And it is no
slight task, owing to the continual
changes wrought by discharges, and
assertions, and remandings to the
public Jail. OF the boys in the
present band not one of them was in
the band when it was organized four
years ago. Not half dozen of
them were in the band two years
ago. But in spite of these draw
backs, the boys by persistent effort,
have been brought up to that
standard of excellence at all events,
which makes them in demand, on
occasional public festivities and pri-
vate pleasurings. With this L close,
believing that the history of the in
stitution would not prove interest
ing, and that description of the
well-appointsd buildings, and of the
excellent work done in the field,
would be better realized by those in
terested in the subject, if personal
visit were made to both, which are
always open to inspection.

(Concluded.)
Another plan, less simple and
more expensive, has been spoken Of,
which is to divide the whole dormi-
tory, as it stands, into so many small
cells, locking each boy into his
room, and requiring him to keep it
clean. This plan would ensure the
safe keeping of the boys, no doubt,
but | fear it would give much
trouble, and not be very convenient,
besides being close; although l be-
lieve the privacy ensured to each
boy would prove invaluable, for
one of their worst faults is that Of
budding and herding together, and
it is productive of very bad results.
With the division of the dormitory
the play ground should also be di-
vided. The old rotten, rambling
building anciently used for dormi-
tory should be torn down, the

SENATE-The Interstate commerce bill
was further discussed, the long and short
haul being the chief ground of debate, the
western members opposing the Camden
amendment Mr.. Ingalls, saying that long
and short-baul clause as now amended
was like crowbar thrust into the works
of watch. TIL, Camden amendment was
in such absolute hostility to the interests
Of the West that, it the bill became law,
which was doubtful, there would never be
busbel of grain nor pound Of beef or
pork brought East from Iowa, Kansas or
Nebraska. The senator from West
Virginia (Mr. Camden) lived on a sh .rt
line of road that was directly interested in
the short haul and those Young with him
were also interes.ed in it. The amend
ment would make the producers of the
West pay shorthaul rates on every
pound Of freight brought 70 the seaboard.
That senator's design was to COM
pei the men who raised the cereals of the
West to pay local rates all the way to the
seaboard. The amendment would abso-
luteiy destroy the commerce Of Kansas.
What were railroads for, il not to cheaper
rates for long haul distances! A number
of amendments were offered and it was
unanimously agreed that the final vote en-
the bill should be taken on Tuesday next.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.
HoUsE-The river and harbor bill passed,
143 yeas to 1g nays. The bill was not ma
ter:a!ly changed from the original report
of the committee, and not at all as it re-
lates West The House adjourned until
