DETERMINING OUR LArlruDE.

Those OF our readers who take an in
tereSt in such matters viii remember
that the last report OF the Minister of the
interior contained an account OF an inn
rortant series OF astronomical observa-
tons, executed in connection with the
Hawaiian Government Survey, by Mr..
Geodetic Survey. During the prcsecu-
ton OF this work Mr.. Preston was in the
employ OF this Government, the U. s.
Government having granted him leave
OF absence without pay, and loaned the
necessary instruments.
Latitude observations OF precision were
made at fourteen stations on the four
principal islands, selected so as To be
near the extreme north and south points.
The object OF these observations was
partly to establish points OF reference for
the trigonometrical survey OF the group,
and also to determine with the utmost
accuracy, local reflections OF the plumb
line, caused by the attraction OF our
mountain masses. The amount of this
deviation OF gravity as it is teehni-
cally called, WAS found TO be extraoriiu-
airy That this was not due to imperfect
instruments or defective observations is
proved by the fact that similar results
were obtained on every island, the lati-
tude on the north side being invariably
increased, while that OF stations on the
south sideis diminished in every instance
The final result of the computations
made by Mr.. Preston has lately been re-
eeived at the Survey Office, and agrees
closely with the preliminary calculations
made in that Office. The result is highly
creditable to Mr.. Preston's skill, care
and accuracy as an observer. The pre-
bable error OF the final result averages
only one-tenth OF a second, and in only
one instance exceeds one-eighth. This
is wonderfully good work, especially con-
sidering the adverse circumstances under
which it was done. 1t will compare fav-
orably with similar work done in the u
5. Coast Survey or anywhere else The
result at the Kauai stations was ex-
tremely satisfactory and will accurately
place that island on the map.
When il is remembered that the tenth
OF a second is the twelve million nine
hundred and sixty thousandth part of the
earth's circumference, and amounts to
only about ten feet, the extreme tineness
of the work and the accuracy of the
results Will be the more readily appre-
ciatad

THE wESTMEATH SUGAR.

Inc portentous sensation which inter
ested parties in California, operating
through certain San Francisco papers
and the Daily Bulletin OF this place,
undertook TO evolve from the dispute
about the grading OF the sugar brought
by the Westmeath, has suffered mel
aneholy collapse. On its first appear
anee, this irightful spectre of cold
blooded fraud and corporate disaster
loomed up before the startled vision,
lurid as : thunder cloud and big as
balloon. More recent developments
have shown that it consisted principally

The IETER-lsLAED CABLE.

! letter has been received from Mr..
Bartholomew. the protector of the inter-
island cable project, containing impor-
tant and very satisfactory intelligence.
Mr.. B. writes that he has succeeded in
raising all the money he requires, hav-
ing tioated the stock on the London mar
ket. The cable has been manufactured
in England and is now on the way out
by way OF the Canadian Pacific Railway.
1t viii probably be shipped from
Vancouver to Honolulu by a vessel
which Is to leave Oh the 10Th OF Janu-
airy. This is very welcome news. The
fact that the time which had elapsed
without visible results or even definite
information was SO much greater than
was announced at the time of Mr.. Bar
tholemew's departure, had gradually I'M
dermined both the public faith and the
public interest The information now
received regarding the success of both
the financial and mechanical branches
OF the enterprise appears to be definite
and positive. There seems to be no rea-
sonable doubt OF electric communication
between the Islands being an accom-
pIished fact within a few months. The
possibilities commercial, social and po-
itical which are suggested by the estab-
lishmsnt OF such communication especi-
ally when connected with Pacific cable,
whose realization belongs probably to
the near future. viii be considered here
after.
The letter says the cable is the same as
the AngIo-American Atlantic Cable Com
pany have adopted. with the exception
Of its core, which Is the same as the
French St. Pierre-Brest Cable Company
have now in operation. Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW states that it IS his intention to pay
cut enough slack" to have the cable rest
easily on the bottom everywhere, and to
this end he has contracted Tor nearly %
per cent. more Of bath the intermediate
and deep sea styles than the distance
actually measures in nautical miles.

VIZ publish in another column an item

We publish in another column an item
about the recent municipal election in
Boston. Later information assures Us
that the attempt to recognize Sec
tartan claims in the management Of
the public schools received a signal re-
buke, and that the parties who were
willing to suppress the facts OF history in
the interests OF one particular church
were routed, horse, foot and dragons.
The American people are very patient,
and even apparently apathetic some
times, regarding important public ques-
tons, but when the issue is once fairly
raised, it viii be found that they will not
consent TO priests, or clergymen OF any
kind, debating in the interests OF their
particular churches, what may and what
may not be taught in the public schools.

Proceedings OF the Annual Meeting on
Saturday-No Decision Respecting a
New Home.
The annual meeting of the Sailors
Home Society was held, according to
notice, in the room OF the Chamber of
Commerce at 10 o'clock on Saturday
morning. Hon. C. X. Bishop, presi-
dent, was in the chair.
Mr.. Patty, treasurer. submitted his
annual report, showing balance in hand
OF 1891 % He was later instructed by
the trustees to invest $3.50 of the funds
in the Hawaiian Postal Savings Bank.

ending December 81, 1891: Hon. C. r.

K. Walker was duly elected a trustee to
serve until December 81, 1889.
The subject OF a new building for a
Sailors Home, in place OF the one pulled
down after the great fire OF 1886, was
discussed at length. No action was,
however, taken beyond giving the COM
mittee on ways and means further time
to report.
The Society having adjourned, the
annual meeting OF the Board OF Trustees
was called to order by the President, and
the following named gentlemen we're

vided the French Company Has Not
Utterly Failed.
The following despatch from New
York came under date OF December 9TH.
On the last date OF our foreign advices,
December 10Th, the news was conveyed
that De Lesseps had failed in his latest
scheme for raising money in France. As
this, ii 1t proves an absolute failure,
would leave the Panama Canal Com
pany helpless, the American syndicate
could do nothing:
4 syndicate OF American capitalists
has been formed in this city to complete
the Panama Canal. They have arranged
to put up 1000 600. and expect to
finish the work within two years. The
syndicate was formed through the exer-
tons OF James d. Leary, famous for his
exploits with the monster raft of logs
launched in Nova Scotia. Other MEM
bers OF the syndicate are Morton, Bliss
& Co., Eugene Kelly, and the men who
are already interested in the American
Dredging Company. The latter COM
pany has a Sl7 100000 contract for
dredging the Colon end OF the canal, and
has performed sl2 600 900 worth OF work
on the contract.
The President OF that company is II.
B. Slaven. The new syndicate has made
its proposition to the Panama Canal
Company, and it has been accepted.
The matter will come up for ratification
in Paris on December 18th, where it is
expected the contract will be finally
completed. The French Government
has informally approved the agreement.
