Coronet sailed from New York on a
voyage around the world with the
following passengers: Mr.. r. T.

Denslow and wife, DR.. Abbott and
Mr.. Martin. From this port the
Coronet expects to sail for Yoko-
hama, returning to New York by the
way of Bombay, Suez Canal, the
Mediterranean Sea and Liverpool,
and will be about 10 months on the
voyage. The Coronet was towed in
by the Mokolii, and is anchored in

THE MILITARY BILL.

Those interested in military mat
tiers have been for several weeks
back asking themselves why bills
passed long since the oath day of
July were being published in the
Government again, while the So
called Military Bill, which passed
over the Kings veto on that day was
still pigeon-holed in the Interior Of
flee. All at once, however, in the
daily advertiser" of the 10th inst.
the bill appeared.
Nor, why this exceptional delay,
followed by apparently exceptional
haste? The truth seems to be that
those controlling the publication,
resting under the impression that
the Act would not become law till
ten days after publication, were
holding it back to try and get Sin
fiuence' to work on the officers of
the I'd Battalion, who were supposed
to be largely in favor of Col. Ash
ford, against whom certain of the
Ministers are reported TO be going
out of their way to make personal
canvass, for reaeons best known to
themselves, probably. But on the
evening of the Sth, one of the Min
isterial "whips" got ''tip" that as
the law read "within thirty days af-
ter the approval of this Act the Ma
jor of the first battalion shall call a
meeting, etc., etc. F" and as the
"approvaP' in this instance must
mean the passage over the Kings
veto, anything done under the above
clause more than thirty days after
July oath, would probably be ques-
TONED as illegal. On the 9th, it
was rushed into the "Advertirer's''
hands, and published on the 10th.
This simply shows the amount of
"head" which directs whatever de-
partment has charge of this most
important law, which, by the way,
to be consistent, should be called the
"Un-Miitary Act'-though its pro-
moter enjoyed the questionable
honor of having it three or four
times referred back to the Commit

THE LANAI SCHOOL.
KOele. lanai. July 3

koele, Lanai, July 28.
The annual examination of the
English Government School of this
place, took place yesterday. Peo-
pie came from every part of the ISL
and to attend it-and were well
repaid for the long journey in MANY
instances taken. This school con.
tains somewhat over thirty natives
and halt-white children and Miss.
Jane ID. Albro, the Principal, has
good cause for being proved of her
scholars during the three years of
her incumbency. The children this
year have shown my marked i'm
provement in their various studies.
especially in writing, arithmetic,
and reading, and more particularly
in the latter, the infection of voice
being remarkable; and yet not re-
markable either, when il is known
what a finished reader the teacher is
herself.
Miss. Albro intends leaving for
one of the sister islands, for her
well earned vacation and rest, and
there were not many dry eyes
amongst the little ones, when She
shook hands with some and kissed
others goodbye. The parents of
these children are singularly FORUM
ate in having an accomplished lady,
a teacher of many years experience,
and a kind sympathetic friend, to
guide them in their studies. The
Board of Education should build
cottage for the teacher. AS it is, she
has TO curtain off a portion of the
schoolroom for her private use.
