wELLAND CANAL DETERMINATIONS.

WAsnISGToS, Jan. 16 (Speciai).-Mr. Dingley's
resolution of inquiry respecting the discrlmina-
ton against American vessels passing through
the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals was
adopted by the House to-day after 1t had been SO
amended as to direct the Secretary of the Treas
ury instead of the Secretary OF State TO make
the required investigation and report. MI Ding
ley spoke briefly in favor of the resolution in re-
read the XXVIIth Article of the Treaty of Wash
ington he never would have read the resolution.
The dispatch explained that the so-called resolu,
ton was pursuant to an order in Council issued
in March. 1887, which was like previous orders
issued in the two preceding years for the purpose
of dverting traffic to Canadian ports. Mr.
Dingley said that IL was true that the dues were
Uniform on all vessels passing through the Wei
land Canal bound to Montreal, whether they
were Canadian vessels or American vessels, but
he showed that upon cargoes of American YES
sells passing through the canal bound for Amerl-
can ports the dues twenty cents per ton in
stead of two cents, which is the uniform rate to
Montreal Mr.. Dingley then read the clause OF
the XXVIIth Article Of the Treaty OF Washing
ton which relates to this subject, and showed that
the case presented amounts to discrimination
which is obnoxious to that clause Of the treaty.

SATURDAY, MAY II, 1888.
SHOULD ENGAGE ATTENTION,

A work that should engage the at
tention of the Government, as soon as
the demands of what may be Justly
considered more pressing public re-
quirements are satisfied, is the inn
provement of the streets in that por-
ton of Honolulu which was devasted
by the great fire of two years ago.
The clean sweep of all buildings
by that fire presented an unexpected
opportunity of opening new and
needed streets and of widening old
ones. The opportunity was seized
by the Government of the day, and
new thoroughfares were marked out,
on which no buildings were allowed
to be erected, and previously exist
ing streets were widened before the
rebuilding of that part of the town
commenced, so that tle lines of
buildings as they now stand mark
the changes in the roadways then
made.
Excepting on Bethel and Nuuanu
streets and a small portion of Hotel
street, nothing has been done in the
way of street Improvement in the
whole of the burnt district, during
the two years which have elapsed
since the great fire. The widened
streets still have the unsightly and
announcement elevations on the sides
where the widenings were made,
and the new streets are simply
avenues between lines of buildings,
in some places containing dangerous
pits and in others strewn with OBJ
stacles which render them almost
impossible.
Now we come back to the point
at which we started, and reiterate
that theimprovement of these streets,
so long neglected, should receive
attention as soon as possibleor prac-
ticable. And here it may be added
that comparatively little money and
labor are required to effect a mark.

stumps and other Instructions, thu

Chicago, April 26,-The Times
Nashville special of the 25th says:
Miss Mollie Green is the heroine of
q thrilling scene in Perry county,
Tennessee. Miss Mollie is eighteen
wears old and teaches school on Cy-
press Greek. The children a few
days ago were busy with their les
sons, when shaggy dog, foaming
at the mouth, swapping and biting,
dashed in at the door and made to-
ward the children. The brave little
woman sprang between the children
and the intruder. She kicked at it,
her skirts protecting her, and by
the aid of the heavy rule kept it at
bay until all the children had fled.
The infuriated animal repeatedly
sprang at her throat, but she was
agile and resolutely held her ground.
When all the little ones were gone
she reached the door, which she
pulled TO after her, and fell fainting
outside. The children in the mean
time ran to the nearest houses, an
eighth of mile distant. Fhe men
turned out and killed the dog,
which had been terrorizing the
neighborhood for two days. The
grateful parents of the children took
up a subscription and gave the
young woman fine saddle horse.
Her clothes were literally torn to
ribbons during her severe encounter.
Washington, April 2Sth.-Last
night there came near being a fight
in the room of the Committee on
Manufactures which is investigating
trusts. In the testimony which he

hard things about the Standard Oil
Company.

also from Pennsylvania, was on the

all that Emery had said, and in as
many words repeatedly declared
that he had lied. Emery was pre-
sent and reciprocated by saying thai
Archibald was a liar. Things grew
hotter and hotter, and it looked a:

The Committee adjourned quickly
but the two angry men kept it up
Finally, Mr.. Bacon of New York
the Chairman of the Committee
said to them: Look here, if yor
want to fight go out in the corridor

but INDUCED in no gore after being

CLIMATE AND PROVIDENCE.

In the last number of "The Para
disc of the Pacific" is an article by
Mr.. Marques, on the 'climate of
the Hawaiian Islands" in which our
mild and equable climate is justly
extolled. The concluding paragraph
contains virtual promise to pro-
duce in some future issue of that
paper "ohicial figures" which, ''to-
gether with meteorological tables,
will show that in the whole world
there is no other climate, not only
equal, but even approaching to
ours"
We shall look intently for the ap-
pearance OF the "ofiicial figures"
and the meteorological tables"
which can make such a splendid
showing in favor of our climate, and
hope they will not be delayed be-
yond the next number of "The
Paradise of the Pacific" In the
meantime we hope to be excused for
entertaining grave doubts of the ex-
istence of "official figures" and
meteorological tables" to prove
any such conclusion. We have not
to go beyond this pacific ocean, not
to mention the "whole world" to
find thousands of islands where no
"ofIical figures" or meteorological
tables" are kept. If the Figures"
and 'tables" are not, how can any
thing be proven by them!
Our climate, on the whole, is SUI
perlatively splendid. Everybody
admits it. There is no doubt about
it. Indeed, it is so good that it

Late Foreign News
By the arrival of the Zealandia
this morning we received nine days

Following is Summary:

AMERICA.
Boston, April 24.-The steamer
Catalonia, loaded with John L. Sui

morning. On the arrival of the
steamer the pugilist was taken
abroad tugboat and brought to the
city, and was driven uptown amid
the cheers and situations of hun
dreds who had congregated on the
wharf.

jacksonville (Fla.), April pa
Reports of yellow fever at Plant
City prove to be exaggerated. The
disease undoubtedly existed there
all last summer, but in mild form.
The village has population of 800.
Since last October there have been
ninety cases of illness and only
twelve deaths. All unacclimated
persons have moved away, and en-
ergetic measures are being adopted
to stamp out the disease.
Kansas City, April 24.-Judge
Samuel d. Lecompte died to-day at
the age of IA. He served as Chief
Justice of the Territory of Kansas
from 1854 until the admission of the
Territory into the Union. He pre-
sided over the first Constitutional
Convention held at Lecompton.
Chicago, April 26.-An explosion
that pitched seventy people into the
air, throwing one man fifty feet,
wrecked seventeen large plate-glass
windows, ruined $35, 900 worth OF
clothing, damaged building $780,
600 and caused stampede of hun

cannot be made better by trying to
prove that there is no other equal,
or even approaching equality TO it
thing which cannot be proven, and |
an assumption which we do not and |
cannot believe. Anyhow, our scep- |
ticism is likely to endure until the
promised "oflicial figures" and
meteorological tables" have been
gathered up from every continent,
island, and islet of the globe, to
convince us of our error and COM
pei us to believe the extreme and
absurd assertion "that in the whole
world there is no other climate, not
only equal, but even approaching to
ours"
In preceding paragraph of the
article from which we have quoted,
Mr.. Marques refers to the vital
statistics of our Board of Health.
He says, and we believe truly, that
those Statistics" when read in their
proper light" proclaim the health
mess of our climate. The high
rate of mortality, as shown by those
statistics, is due, he holds, to the
high percentage Of mortality
among the native race" Correct.
Therefore, concludes Mr.. Marques,
the high death rate as shown by the
Board of Health statistics is "not
because of disease or any vital rea-
son, but simply because this" (na-
tive) trace is doomed, and Provi-
dence has decreed that they must be
extinct ere long" A remarkable
dogma, as full of sense and reason
as the dogma of infallibility and the
divine rights of kings!
Most savage races when brought
in close contact with western civiliz-
alton seem to decline and gradually
disappear. But what has Providence
to do with it? We have hitherto
imagined that the declination was
: due mainly TO the adoption of the
vices of civilization, but it now ap.
pears to be all the work of Provi,
| dence, at least so far as the Hawai-.
ian race is concerned, for "Provi,
dence has decreed that the native
race must be extinct ere long!'
We wonder how Mr.. Marques dis
covered the intentions and DEGREES
of an unsearchable Providence! He
may he right. But we no more be-
lieve it than we do that he is
able to prove by "otficial figures"
and meteorological tables" that no
climate in ''the whole world" equals
that of the Hawaiian Islands. To
blame on Providence the destructive
work that is being done by the
agents of the devil is rather an un-
fair proceeding. We cannot under
stand why Providence should decree
] the extinction ''ere long, of the
simple Hawaiian in favor of the
"heathen Chinese" and do not pir
our faith to that creed.

them. he had a good audience, but
in place Of talking, the gentleman
read his lecture. There were two or
three difficult words i'm IL which he
could not read, although he had
copied them himself When be
came TO them, he sad "he guessed il
wouldn't make any difference
whether { read them OF not" There
was a great deal Of laughing end

with the rest. II Is true we had a

did not play, and only had them out
two or three minutes. Now, ali this

leave it to the audience whether the

testimony, stated to Justice yelling

giving him the impression that We
