KANSAS CITY. March 26.-The bluff
fronting the union depot in this CITY be-
gan to give way this afternoon. several
immense bodies of stone and earth slip
ping from their foundations. One of
these struck and demolished the engine
house at the mouth of the tunnel, where
the cable railway company are Gu ting a
passageway for their lines. This tunnel
has caved repeatedly, causing losses of
thousands of pillars. To day the ground
from Sixth to Ninth streets showed signs
of weakening, and the people dwelling in
the houses built thereon ran terror strick-
en- from their homes. The surface
cracked open, making c~revices deep and
wide, and houses were tilted hither and
thlther as if by an earthquake. The
damage thus far is not great, as the houses
built on the land are of an inferior quality,
but if this mass shall be precipitated into
the depot yards, as seems threatened, it
would be difficult to estimate the loss.

DUTY ON LIQUOR IN NORWAY.

information that the duties on spirits

taken off, the New York medical re-
cord to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, have before me the Norwegian
custom house tariff. 1t says that
the duty on all liquor in bottles or
stone jars, regardless of strength
is $3.50 per emperial gallon, and on
liquors in casks or demijohns SOC.
per gallon. Alcohol for mechanical
purposes is free of duty, provided
it is made unfit to drink hy adding
ingredients to it, that will make it
so.

names-not for my own sake, but
for his. will not repeat them, as
/ will prevent as much as it is in my
power, foreign countries from seeing
the low standard of one of our
papers, protesting to be the advo-
cate of culture and federation. Such
writing only hurts the writer, and

will open the eyes of many, who
think the P. G. A. a first class paper
in decent journalism.

Part of the now useless lands
would produce fire wood, lumber,
orifruit, and the other part would
after few years be eagerly leased
by the neighboring farmers, and
the properties would increase a
hundred fold in value.
A word more, and finish. Could
the Government not do something
in the homestead line, by selling or
rather giving, Chat country being
now desert) lands in the district
between Pololu and Waipio, and in
order to attract settlers build an
hydraulic elevator on both sides of
Pololu gulch, advancing gradually
when needed? The present bridal
path will do for man and beast, but
not for lumber or products, and as
water is at hand, the benefit would
we'll repay the expense of building.

GABLES UNDER THE PACIFIC,

The electrical Review" for Oct.
9th, says: The laying of cables
under the Pacific Ocean has given
curious importance to several
otherwise insignificant little islands.
One among them is the island of
flaming, south of Hawaii, discover
ed in 1924 by the American captain
whose name it bears; it is but a
few miles in area, and has only $50
inhabitants but it has excellent
water and good harbor. Another
is the island Of Christmas, south of
Java, which is almost inaccessible.
Yet both of these have been annex
ed by the British Admiralty, and
are likely to be of Importance in the
political geography of the future.
Along the course of the American
line to Japan, 1000 nautical miles
from Hawaii, is the island MorelI,
whose very existence has been ques-
toned by most chartmakers; this
must ultimately, in spite of the
Monroe doctrine, fall under Ameri-
can influences.
But the French have already
! large interests in the Pacific, and
confident of the ultimate success of
the Panama Canal, "Electricite, !"
from whose pages we draw these
facts, does not hesitate to put on
the map, though in dotted lines, the
course of two more cables that must
soon be laid, the one to Tahiti, the
other to New Caledonia.
1t is further interesting to note
how much shorter the longest OF
these lines is than the Atlantic
cables. &

BOSS RULE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I happened
to get hold of a stray Honolulu
Daily Advertiser the other day, of
Nov. 5th, and in it 1 found quite a
lengthy editorial against Bossism in
Hawaii Nei. In one part he says:
"Thus far in our history we in Ha-
waii, can hardly be said to have
ever known what it was to have a
boss.' Then again he says, "But
however that may be, and however
the present may differ from the
past, we don't want any boss in Ha-
waiian politics; and we don't intend
to have any if we can help it."
What gall! Does he not know that
the Islands from Hawaii to Niihau
since our little unpleasantness, has
been under boss rule? and how
about the last Legislature! Was it
not under complete control of the
bosses? and what mess they made
of it. Also about the Advertiser.
Is it not under boss rule? How can
it be otherwise, when unfortunately
for the good of the country it is
owned and controlled by select
few of the bosses. l give the Adj
vertiser clan timely warning that the
people are in no mood to be trifed
with second time. But if thou art
really in for reform, and determin-
ed to be honest and consistent in
the future, thou must cut the cord
of the bosses, that thou art so en-
tangled with, and commence on the
eva side of Queen street in Homo
lulu, land quickly too," and strike
out boldly and manfully against boss
rule, and for true reform this time.
"For by thy deeds, not words, shalt
ye be judged in the future y
Don't bother yourselves about us
here we will take care that Hawaii
and the whole country in fact goes
right for true reform next time. ]
don't know, but / am afraid the
"Advertiser'' is not sincere in his
harrangue about boss rule, but fears
change of bosses. Possibly he
may be sincere, the worst of men
sometimes reform, but we shall see.

The LAND QUESTION.

EDITOR BULLETIN: = The land
owners just as well as anybody else,
like to see their proprieties pay
handsomely; how then do they
leave thousands of acres of land be-
tween the sugar and the grazing
belt vague? Because their cultiva-
tion would cost money and trouble,
and they have their share of both in
their sugar plantations and ranches.
But would they not do the duty
of good citizens by looking little
into the benefit of the country, and
of their fellow men, especially as
their interest would be one with
that of the community? Allow me
to explain my views on the subject.
Where there is cattle the forests
disappear, and the rainfall diminish
es. Now, the water question in
Hawaii is one not to be overlooked,
as the complaints Of drought, are
every year more numerous, and the
want of rain may impair our sugar
industry in the near future.
The remedy for this state of af-
fairs would be the planting of valu-
able forest trees, (the cork tree, for
instance, could be tried with great
probability of success). But as
that enterprise would require labor
ers to whom the employers could
not give constant work, they ought
to sell TO them distributed over their
properties, and on the instalment
basis, lots of about twenty acres,
at the lowest possible figure, say at
their acquisition price, so that the
small proprietors might take care of
the growing forests and fences,
beside raising on their own lands,
corn, beans, potatoes, pigs, and
poultry, products which we know do
thrive on our high lands, and will
always find ready market, especi-
ally amongst our $4,000 Portuguese,
who live in their country mainly on
the two first articles. Moreover,
our planters weuld find there an
ample supply of horse feed, as those
animals do well on corn and horse
beans.
Finally as our small farmers would
raise all, or more pork than the
country could consume, no more
bacon or ham ought TO be imported,
This would cause cheap living, and
as consequence, cheap labor,
create new industries, and give the
80 much needed farmers and perma-
nent residents in word transform
Hawaii into a real Eden.

MADAME JAFFA'S RECITAL.

There was not large audience at
the Y. M. G. A. hall last evening to
hear Madame Jaffa's piano recital,
but those who were fortunate enough
to be present had a rare musical
treat. The programme contained
fifteen numbers, thirteen of which
were played by Madame Jaffa. Her
Interpretation of the works of the
great masters was surprise, and she
was warmly applauded for the man
ner in which she represented a high
degree of artistic excellence. Ma
dame Jaffa does not display mere
mechanism, but is able to make the
piano sing and tell the story that is
hidden behind the magnificent COM
positions. The wonderful retentive-
ness of her memory is of itself an
important endowment, the whole of
the programme being played without
note before her. Particular notice
must be made of the Madame 8
brilliant playing of Liszt's Illustra-
tions du prophetic, and the five
numbers by Chopin.
A most enjoyable feature Of the
evening was the singing of Mrs.,
John I'll. Patty whose beautiful voice
was heard to much advantage in two
songs by Millard. Her rendition of
the song Darling was SO charm
ing that she was compelled to res
pond to All encore. The recital
was pronounced success. .-Nov.21.
