About Mynah Birds.

Few persons who have seen the saucy
little mynah birds, around their dwell
ings, ever realize how hard they are to
catch. A gentleman who had an order
from Australia to procure from twenty to
thirty of these birds, has been endeavor-
ing for two months to get them, offering
one dollar apiece, but so far without
success, although at least. a score OF
natives or Cinnamon have been trying
their best to trap them. One native,
after long spell OF watching, caught six
but they managed to escape. Four
Cinnamon found the roosting place of
large flock in grove of cocoanut trees,
and each man about midnight climbed
up a separate tree, so as to make sure OF
a good haul. One bird only was caught
and sounded an alarm Of distress,
whereupon the whole flock of four or
five hundred few away, though it was
pitch dark Early in the spring when
the young are in the nests, they are
easily caught but the old birds are too
willy to allow themselves to be trapped
or caught in any way alive.

Result of a Marine Board Investigation.
Appended is the report of the testi-
mony, and result OF the investigation
held in regard to the reported near APP
proach to a collision between the cast
ing steamers Kinau and w. "a. Hall and
which occurred on the night OF the 18th
OF October last:
Hon. 4. S. CLEGHoRN, Collector-General
OF Customs.
SIR,-In obedience to your request we
have taken testimony from the steamers
Kinau and w. q. Halls people in re-
gard TO what might have been COLI
sion on the night of October llth, 1889,
and from the evidence before US we
CLEAN the following facts, viz:
According to the w. G.. Halls state
ment she was the inshore ship on this
particular night and saw the steamer
Kinau's green light on her starboard
bow, from two to four points according
to the version of different witnesses.
According to the Kinau's statement
she was the inshore ship and saw the
Halls red light on her port bow three
points. One witness saw both side
lights at the same time and apparently
right ahead.
After the Kinau gave one blast of the
whistle and ported his wheel, and the
Hall answered with one blast and star
boarded his wheel, the Hall made a
mistake in answering with one blast,
whilst carrying starboard wheel.
In the face OF such conflicting evil
deuce it is impossible to say, when or by
whom the first mistake was committed,
each party feeling that he had used the
best means TO avoid collision, according
to the position he believed the two ships
TO occupy.
According to the evidence of both
ships the lights were in proper position
and burning and the officers at their
stations.
We recommend that in order to avoid
any future disaster, q rule should be laid
down by both companies, whereby a
steamer coming from Maalaea Bay bound
to Lahaina should keep the inshore track
and q steamer bound the other way keep
off shore, so each ship by porting her
wheel will keep clear OF the other, and
that the officers of steamers will be espe-
cially cautioned to pay strict attention to
the signals by whistles according to the
recognized rules of the road.

A Special Visit to Kawaiahao Cemetery.
The Bingham memorial tablet at IA
waiahao Church, the unwilling OF which
was described last week at some length,
has been visited by many people since.
1t is slab OF pure white marble, about
five feet high and three feet wide, en-
graved by j. d. Lane of this city, and is
inserted in the north corner of the front
wall. 1t occupies conspicuous posi-
ton, directly opposite the Douglas slab,
which is in the front west corner of the
editice, and is smaller than the Bingham
slab. Some who see this for the first
time, ask who Douglas was? He was a
young Scotch scientific traveller and ex-
plorer, who lost his life by falling into
one OF the fern-covered caves on the
slope OF Mauna Kea, in the year 1884.
The inscription on the tablet is in Latin,
and reads as follows:

THE BATTLE YET TO COME.

Striker Burns Says the Strike Just Ended
Was Only Preliminary sleir1nish.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The workmen of Lon
don held a monster demonstration at Hyde
Park this afternoon to celebrate the vic
tory of the dock laborers in finally securing
every concession for which they contended
during their struggle of the past month.
John Burns was, of course. the chief
speaker, and when he arose to address the
audience from one of the numerous stands
which had been erected in different parts
OF the park, he was greeted with deafening
cheers, and so great was the enthusiasm of
those present that for fully five minutes
Mr.. Burns was compelled to stand hat in
hand, bowling to the right and to the left
of him in acknowledgment of the unceas-
ing ovation, but unable to utter syllable
for the deafening shouts which rent the air.
When, from sheer exhaustion, the men
desisted and measure of quiet was re-
stored, Burns delivered what was evident
ly carefully prepared speech. showing
more than ordinary thought and study.
He declared that the strike now so happily
concluded was only preliminary skirmsh
with which was opened the great battle
yet to come. A federation of labor would
forthwith be organized throughout Eng
land, and, when this work was once COM
pleted, the war would be carried into Af-
rica. The thanks of the whole civilized
world. he said, were due to the generous
contributors to the strikers relief fund,
and the victory of the men was, in no
small measure. due to their timely aid.
Every penny of the fund he said wOuld he
der whose direction it had been distributed.
Burns and his wife, while walking in the
Strand to-day were recognized. and to es-
cape the attentions which were at once
showered upon them by the crowds which
lined the street, they were compelled to
seek refuge ON top of well-filled omnibus.
In this way they escaped the immediate
proximity of the crowds of admirers, but
many followed the bus for several squares,
sending up cheers for Burns and his plucky
little wife.
There is still some subdued growing
among the men because the strike commit
tee consented to defer the date of the
advance of their wages until Nov. 4.
but it is heard chiefly among those
whose mode of living has been materially
improved by idleness and their share of the
relief fund. The more respectable of tho
laborers appear to be quite content with the
solution reached.
The dock directors claim that they have
now 1000 men at work at the docks, and,
under the terms of the compromise, these
men are to be retained. Ameeting has been
arranged for tomorrow night, at which
the Lord Mayor. Cardinal Manning, John
Burns and Mr.. Tillett will be the speakers.

Chaalkley Leconey grew pale as Edward

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 15.-Fred Raine,
lately consul-general at n, arrived last
night from Europe. Spea ng of affairs in
Europe. Mr.. Raine said tat he does not
think war imminent, but believes that
the smallest spark may at any moment
cause disastrous confagration. The Con-
servatives of France and Germany do not
desire war, he says, tut Russia's ambition
and pan-Slavistic agitation may lead
to it at any moment. Mr.. Raine en-
tertains the opinion that France and
Germany should be friends instead of
enemies, as he considers Russia and the
Semi-barbarian elements under the scepter
of the Car the dangerous antagonists of
both. With the Russians war means the
ascendency of autOcratic ideas. the death
knell of republicanism and constitutional
government. The thinking men of F-ance
are not blind to the objects of Russia and
show but little inclination to encourage
the cry of revenge against Germany, rather
believing that sooner or later something
may turn up to establish an entente cor
dale between Germany and France.
Mr.. Raine fears that the immense war
preparations of all Europe. and the tre-
mendous cost of armament and conse-
quent taxation may lead to exhaustion and
an appeal to arms precepitating war
againt the wishes of all true friends of prog
ress and civilization.

They Collect the Fees from Applicants, While

epecial to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-The retirement
from the Pension Office of Corporal Tan
ner has renewed interest In the business
of the pension agents in Washington.
There was a time when very few businesses
at the national capital were as lucrative as
that of representing the claims of soldiers
before the Pension Department During
the past six OF eight years there has been q
steady decline of this business, until at pres
ent it is said that there is not more than
one-quarter as much made out of pension
claims as there was six years ago. This
fact is largely. due, men at the Pension Of
flee say, to the work of men In Congress.
Applicants for pensions have come TO under
stand that their senator or member of
Congress can and will push pension claims
with much more vIgor and success than
pension agent, and it Will cost them moth
ing to have it done.
Much of the money made by agents in Sc
curing pensions during the past three or
four years has been the result OF the labor
of Senators and Representatives. Pension
agents secure the clientage of applicants.
and take the preliminary steps but the
work of pushing the claims, bling addi-
tional testimony, and all that sort of thing
is. in more than two-tbirds of theinstances,
done by men in Congress. When the pen
sions are allowed the agents represent that
the success was due to their efforts. and
proceed to collect their fees. Nine-tenths
of the claims before the Pension Bureau
are represented by attorneys, and four
fifths of the pensions allowed come through
the efforts OF men in Congress, or friends
who have no financial interest involved.
