STANLEY MUsTHhvE PERIsHED
A PitiabIc State of Affairs at Aru-

A letter from an of'-cial OF the Congo State,
dated July 20, reports Il pitiabIe state of af-
fairs at Aruwhime. The writer says:
Half the mon died, eith'r from disease or
from starvation. Those who h I'VE gone with
Mqjor Barte.lot are too weak and too emnc-
iut,1 t. combat the difficulties ba'ore
them. Great complaint is made
against Bartellot for Larshness and for his
disregard OF Staney's orders 10 consult with
other officers who have not good word 10
say for him, while his mon undeniably hate
him, and several threa'ened to shoot him on
the march. Tippo Tib is 50 disguised with
them, that he regrets to have brought his men.
Blrttelot believes Stanley has perished. l
should not be surprised II Tipp1o's men, who
don't relish the Ike at all, return in few
months with the story that all the white men

THE SAN FRANCISCO POST OFFICE

There appears to be a sleepy-headed
lot of officials in the San Francisco Post
Office, as yesterday the w. G. Irwin ar
rived from the latter place in eleven
days, yet not letter or paper came by
her for the Post Office. When there is
a long interval between the steamers
the Postmaster at Honolulu is ever on
the alert for sailing vessels to carry
mails. Take for instance last week, two
sailing vessels left for the Coast and
mails were dispatched by both. Last
month four sailing vessels left in one
week and all carried mails. Why could
not the San Francisco office have sent
a mail by the Irwin. 1t would have
been exceedingly welcome, and at the
same time shown that the Postmaster at
San Francisco had some little considera-
ton for the residents of this far away
Kingdom. For the past year or so there
has been looseness about the the work
ings of the San Francisco Post Office, and
it looks very much as if it was likely to

THE KAUMAKAPILI ORGAN.

Many inquiries have been made of
late respecting the new organ of Kauma-
kapii Church. 1t is in it's position on a
platform at the mauka end of the build
ing, and is being played on nearly every
day. When it will be opened is not yet
decided. During the past two weeks
the church windows have been cleaned
and painted. This work will be entirely
completed the middle of this week, then
the erection of the pulpit platform will
be commenced, and after that the seats
will be placed in position. Taking every
thing into consideration, it is expected
that the church will be dedicated and
the organ opened within a month.
After that regular monthly recitals
will be given on the new organ, which is
well adapted for that purpose. Every
thing about the instrument is in SPLEEN
did order, its appearance is magnificent
and the tone grand. It will be blown by
water power, an hydraulic motor having
been fixed in the basement. The piston
of the motor connects to the bellows
handle, and when at work there is not
the slightest noise. The only trouble is,
the pressure of water in that part of the
city is very small, and when playing
the full organ it is not enough. This
will be remedied when larger main
pipes are put in

Runaway Accident.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Alex. McKib-
bin, Mrs. S. H. Dowsett and Miss Dora
Dowsett were out riding, when the horse
attached to the carriage took fright and
became beyond control. Miss Dora
jumped out of the carriage and tried to
catch hold of the bride but was knocked
down by the shaft. A little further on
Mrs. Dowsett was thrown out Mr..
McKibbin held on to the reins, but
finally the horse ran into a Chinese
store on Beretania street and the trouble
was at an end. The carriage was con-
siderably damaged. We are very glad
to be able to state that none of the occu-
pants were hurt. Mr.. McKibbin sus-
tanned few bruises but they do not
amount to much.

General George Crook, according to the Chicago Mail, is daily on the Board of Trade, Tn that eity, and, it is said, Is speeulating in grain. He will find 1t as hard to come out winner in that scheme as to catch Geronimo, in which he failed so ignominiously. The in- formant of the Mail innocently adds, "No one who doesn't know him would take him for an Indian-fghter." The fact is exactly the opposite from what IS stated. The truth is no one who knows General Crock believes that he is an Indian-fghter, His reputation was made and is bolstered up by news papers. Since he was removed from this Department and succeeded by General Nelson A. Miles, we have en- jsyed almost uninterrupted peace, and the wisdom eff the latter's policy is continually being shown. The latest evidence to this effect is the location oi a post on the western line of the res ervation the secton of country adja. cent to which has heretofore been al the mercy of marauding Indians and the strengthening with additional troops, of other posts clese to the res ervatlen. General Miles plan-tht soundness of winch is apparent-is tt concentrate the troops at strategic points on or near the reservation bu' removed from the immediate vicim,y of the Indians, and where they will bt most available in quellipg insubordl nation CT to intercept deserting In dians.

The reported invasion of American soil by Mexican mob of armed men will not disturb our present friendly relations with Mexico fer the reason that that government will disavow and doubtless hold infractors of the peace of her sister republic acconnta- ble for their aggressive acts and, upon reauisition, surrender them to the United States authority to be dealt with as the law directs.
 We here reproduce the substances el Washington City telegrams ill relation to the matter. The trouble arose from the killing of Mexican editor by a U 5. customhouss officer. The surren' der of the officer was demanded by the mob and refused, whepupon a fghi took place. The Secretary of State was wired from tho scene of conflict asking that troops be sont. He refer red the matter to the Secretary O War asking that government property there be protected. Troops have beer sent to Rio Grsndo city.
