POLITICAL MEETING.

The Chinese Question Considered by
an Assembly of Mechanics and
Others.
A meeting of mechanics and trades
men was held in the Knights of Pythias
hall, Fort street, on Friday evening to
consider the Chinese question, and to
take steps for calling a special ses-
sion of the Legislature to pass an amend
ment to the Constitution bearing upon
the matter of "Chinese restriction"
There were some fifty or sixty gentle
men present, and Mr.. 7. r. Lucas
was IN the chair. The meeting was
addressed by Messrs. w. A. Kinney, j.
Emmeluth, r. Lishman and others, and
also Dr. Tucker. All the speakers ex-
pressed similar opinions, and resolutions
were unanimously passed to carry out
the views held by the meeting.
1t was arranged that the town be can
vassed for signatures to certain represen-
tations embodied in the resolutions; but
as the meeting was preliminary and
stated to be private, further comment at
present would be out of place.

RECENT SEIZURES OF SEALERS.

The American Revenue Cutter Richard
Rush Captures and Confiscates Eight
Hundred Fresh Skins, and Condemns
the Vessels.
A special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of August 23d says:
The American sealing schooner James
G. Swan, belonging to Makah Indians,
near Cape Flattery, commanded by M.
Benson, with an Indian crew, arrived
from Behring Sea to-day. The master
reports that on July 30th, in Behring
Sea, the revenue cutter Richard Rush
overhauled him and took possession of
the vessels documents, firearms and 200
sealskins.
The master was given an order signed
by Commander Sheppard OF the Rush +,
ordering him to proceed direct to Sitka
and surrender the vessel to the Collector
of Customs. The revenue officers found
about thirty-fve fresh dead seals aboard
the Swan. They were ordered preserved
and left aboard the vessel.
The schooner set sail to the south.
Captain Benton had no charts for Sitka,
and being unacquainted with the coast,
decided to come to this port. The In
dian crew did not care to 90 to Sitka.
The vessel was turned over to Collector
Bradshaw here, who Immediately tele-
graphed to the Secretary of the Treasury
informing him of the circumstances and
asking for instructions.
Lieutenant futile of the Rush, who
boarded the Swan, said he had seized
the British sealing schooners Pathfinder,
Black Diamond and Minnie. The first
two were placed in charge of a seaman
as prize crew and dispatched to Sitka.
The Minnie's documents, arms and
skins were taken care of and ordered to
the same port.
The British sealing schooner Ennetta
was captured on July 31st with 600 skins
and sent to Sitka. Captain Benson was
told by the officers that there were be-
tween forty and fifty sealing vessels in
Behring sea and that the Rush could not
afford to place prize crew aboard each
vessel seized.
The James G. Swan was formerly the
British sealing schooner Annie Beck,
which was seized in Behring sea in
May, 1887, by the Rush, and was con-
demned and sold along with cargo of
sealskins by American officers.

People who believe that the re-
ported demand for American brew
cries in London is all moonshine,
will doubtless be surprised to learn
that within the past six months over
$30,000,000 OF English money has
been invested in Eastern concerns.
Within the past fortnighta call for
some S10,000,000 on additional shares
of couple of new enterprises, was
responded to with offers of ten times
the amount On one transaction
alone, the Earrings cleared as COM
mission in a few hours the magnif-
cent sum of $67,500. And yet it is
said that breweries don't go. Moth

certain class of people in this city,

Native Art.

In the art-gallery of Mr.. J. j. Williams
is a surprisingly fine painting of the
steamer Mikahala lying at the anchorage
of Nawiliwili, island of Kauai. We use
the word surprisingly" inasmuch as
the painting under notice was done by a
full-blooded native Hawaiian boy-artist,
only Is years of age. The drawing is
from a photograph, and is exact, while
the coloring is marked by the dash and
boldness of genius in every turn of the
brush. A keen critic might object to the
sky OF the picture as being rather too
dark for a sunny cline: but, with this
exception, the bay and surrounding
landscape vie in finish and natural ap-
pearance with the landscape views Of
celebrated landscape painters.
The name of this boyartist is Charles
Pooloa, and he seems to have the geuius
that only requires encouragement and
needful aid to develop into celebrity.
1t has been hitherto supposed that
music is the only mental qualification
with which the native Hawaiian is en-
dowed to any large extent; but an ex-
animation of this painting by Charles
Pooloa will convince anyone that the
native mind has endowments in other
branches of art that only want oppor-
tunities and encouragement to bring them
out.
That genius is latent in the Hawaiian
race, there can be no question; but the
circumstances that have always sur
rounded these people, have not been of
kind calculated to draw out the latent
sparks, except in rare instances and
under Instantaneous conditions.

A Life Saving Improvement.

An important improvement is
chronicled in our marine life saving
service. After March, 1890, all
steam vessels will be required to
carry a life line rocket. Heretofore
the line rocket appliance has been
confined to life saving service on
shore. A rocket, to which line
was attached, was fired from a NOR
tar gun to the ship in distress.
Sometimes the line became entan-
gled out of reach and was of no use.
Sometimes the aim missed alto
gether. Now, however, the rocket
and line will be on board the vessel,
and can be fired thence to the shore.
At Washington a rocket has been
tested which carries a line 1000
yards. With appliances like this, it
does not seem that ships crew
need very often be lost before the
eyes of those on shore, who are I'M
sble to help them.

A Healthy Summer Drink.

A ginger beer costing about ff-
teen cents gallon is good stand
by. There are many different re-
cipes for this, but the following is
the simplest: Pour four quarts of
boiling water over three-fourths of a
pound of white sugar; add the
minced yellow peel of one lemon,
and an ounce of ground ginger. Let
this stand covered until lukewarm,
then add the juice of the lemon and
a gill of good yeast. Mix thor
oughly, cover, and stand in a warm
place over night. Next day strain,
bottle and cork, tying down the cork
securely. Lay the bottles on their
sides in cool place.

The Vagabond.

Mr.. Julian Thomas, an Australian
newspaper correspondent who travels
under the above assumed name, has
fully earned the title although he has
contributed very little toward the world s
information. He was unknown to the
public until about the year 1870, when
he was engaged as government clerk in
the Pentridge penitentiary, near Mel
bourne, Australia. Disagreeing with
those over him, Mr.. Thomas exposed in
the local newspapers the workings of the
penitentiary, and his name came at once
into notice. Since that time he has fol-
lowed the business of special correspond
ent, and has travelled in all sorts of out
of the way places; but chiefly in the
islands of the South Pacific. He was in
the Fiji Islands during the Gordon
troubles; and, of course, he is now at
Samoa. Indeed he is anywhere in the
Southern hemisphere where excitement
is going on. Unfortunately, Mr. Thomas
has little talent for the special duties he
undertakes to do, and his statements are
often very unreliable. He was born in
South Wales, is a very common and
somewhat coarse looking man, and in
variably makes a bad impression on
personal acquaintance. He is vaga-
bond from the word go, and this is the
most truthful part OF his pretensions; yet
his writings find their way into the Aus
tralian press up to the present day,
although they have long ceased to be
favorably regarded.

EATING LEMONS.

A good deal has been said through
the papers about the healthfulness
of lemons. The latest advice is how
to use them so that they will dot he
most good, as follows: Most people
know the benefit of lemonade before
breakfast, but few know that it is
more than doubled by taking another
at night also. The way to get the
better of the bilious system, without
blue pills or quinine, is to take the
juice of one, two, or three lemons, as
appetite Graves, in as much ice water
as makes it pleasant to drink without
sugar before gong to bed. In the
morning, on rising, at least half
hour before breakfast, take the juice
of one lemon in a goblet of water.
This will clear the system of humor
and bile with efficiency, without any
of the weakening effects of calomel
or Congress water. People should
not irritate the stomach by eating
lemons clear Medical Journal.

SpreckeIs Not Afraid.

That Claus Spreckels is not afraid o
the Sugar Trust is evident from the
recent announcement that the capacity
OF the new Philadelphia refinery is to be
duplicated, which will give a refining
power of 4, 0O0, 900 pounds of sugar daily.
Clearly enough the American Sugar
King knows where his supply of raw
sugar is to come from, and the discovery
of the trust and the German syndicate
plot is attributed to his timely arrival in
Germany.

Prize Bull Exnected.

The bull Hardy Norseman," des-
cribed in the following paragraph, is ex-
pected to arrive at Honolulu about the
end OF the present season:
Mr.. Patten, has sold from the Duke OF
Northumberland herd at Alnwick, to
Mr. w. T. Williams, New Zealand, the
very grand thirteen-months-old bull,
Hardy Norseman, by Northern Chief
54,649, dam Winning Bride by King
Stephen 46, $50, of the old Blainlie Sally
tribe. This youngster was intended to
appear at Windsor, but Mr.. William S
offer was very tempting, and he was
allowed to leave Alnwick last week.
Hardy Norseman has fine open head,
fully sprung ribs, wide loins, we'll
packed quarters, and full, deep thighs.
His TANKS are heavy, while his coat and
handling would be very difficult to excel,
His sire, Northern Chief, was bred by
Mr.. John Vickers, Caichburn, Morpeth,
who sold him for expectation at 125 gs.
The sire of Northern Chief was Ingram s
Chief 81 ,423 bred by Mr.. Handley,
Green Head, and purchased by Mr..
Vickers, who successfully exhibited him,
and sold him for $50 gs. to Mr.. John
Hope, for use in the herd at Bow Park,
Bantford, Ontario, Canada.

A Proposed Game.

A novel game of chess has been pro-
posed. Three of the players reside on
Kauai and three in this city. Their
moves will be made by correspondence,
so that only one move week will be
made, unless opportunities offer for cor
respondence twice a week. How this
will work, remains to be seen; but ii
seems as if it would be altogether too
slow for this practical go-a-head age
when players want to finish at one sit
ting. However, the long time between
the moves will afford the players a
chance to study out some new schemes
that have not yet been discovered in this
game.

editor of this paper undertakes to receive
and acknowledge subscriptions from the
white residents of Apia towards the sup

Baseball Pointers.

The following answers to correspon-
dents" appear in the Philadelphia Sport
ing Life of August 9TH and 14th, the
recognized authority on baseball matters
in the United States; As considerable
discussion has been INDUCED in OF late,
by lovers of the game here, as to what
rights base-runner has, we quote:
"The base-runner has the right of way
on the line. Still, he has no right to de-
liberately knock the ball out of the base
mans hands. Such cases as you men
ton are seldom practised, as it comes
under the heading of dirty ball playing,
and while the runner has the right of
line he has no right to knock the base
man down after he is clearly intercepted,
with no chance of fairly reaching the
base. In such cases the umpires are
obliged to give the runner out. But on q
close play at a base, where the runner
has a chance to make it, he is not
obliged to miss that chance by slowing
up because the baseman stands on the
line to receive the ball, which he has no
right to do, and in that case the runner
would be justified in sailing right into
him.
"The runner has the right of way, and
if the baseman stood on the line the
former had perfect right to run into the
latter. But if the baseman was not on
the line and the runner ran out of his
way to purposely interfere with the play
he was out.
"The runner has the right of way on
out of his line or suffer the conse-
OuenceS"
