New TRANSATLANTIC Line.

E. :. Babcock, Jr., proprietor of the
Coronado II tel, telegraphs from Boston
to San Diego that the Atchison line has
made traffic arrangements with the
Pacific and Oriental Steamship Co., and
that steamers will be put on between
Yokohama and San Diego, during the
present month (June).
1t is almost certain that the steamers
will call at Honolulu both ways; and.
although their stay may be short, a con
siderable traffic may be developed in
both passengers and freight Many pas
sengers from the Australian colonies
may in winter prefer the route via San
Diego to the Eastern seabOard, or to
Europe; and it is also probable that con-
siderable freight to Honolulu, from the
East, may find it's way by the Southern
route. 1t seems now that Honolulu will
become literally the club" of the Pacific,
by having many radiating lines OF
steamers coming and going to this city
as a center; and we may reasonably ex-
peCt that large transhipment business
will be developed. These conditions
want only fair beginning, and every
additional line of steamers will naturally
bring other lines and more enterprise in
their train.

The Wrecks Mt Samoa.

The latest news from Auckland states
that ''the U. S. ships Trenton and Van
dalia are lying side by side as they sank,
and there is no chance of floating either
of them. The U. S. man-of-war Nipsic,
which was successfully hoated off, was
fitted with jury rudder, and arrange
ments were made by Admiral Kimberly
with the S. 5. Mawhera to tow her to
Auckland to be locked and repaired
On the 10th inst. at a. In. she left the
harbor for a trial spin, but at 10 a. m .
the Mawhera had to go out and tow her
back to her anchorage, her machinery
having given way seriously enough to
prevent her from proceeding. As she
could not be got ready again for at least
a week the Mawhera came on without

pected in a few days at Apia, and when
she arrives Admiral Kimberly intends to

ASSESSMENTS UNDER THE NEW LAW

The appointment of Assessors for
the different islands of the group,
who jointly constitute a Board of
Equalization must commend itself
to every good citizen as an advance
step In reform Government. Hitherto
no uniformity has prevailed in the
assessments, which have been as
varied as the characteristics of the
assessors themselves. Valuation of
property for taxation purposes which
is universal, equitable and uniform
is a great desideratum. The most
impartial distribution of the burden
Of taxation should be made. It is
to be hoped that the Board will come
to some sort of determination of the
yexed beneficiary interest" ques-
ton.
Most planters contend that the
leases which they hold for merely
nominal rental are beneficiary in
terest and therefore not assessable.
Many of them insist that improve
ments only on such leased land are
liable to assessment. The law af-
firms personal interest in personal
or real property to be such an
amount as it might reasonably be
expected to bring at a forced sale.
Such an interest would of course be
estimated by its net producing capa-
bility. The lower the rental, the
greater would be the valuation.
Clauses in the lease prohibiting
transfer cut no figure in the assess
ment. They prohibit forced sale,
but do not determine value if such
forced sale were possible. 1t does
not seem just that parties should
shield themselves behind such pre-
texts as beneficiary interests to evade
payment of taxes on valuable indus
tries. Whatever may be determined
by the Board, we may confidently
expect a uniformity which has not
hitherto been observed.

The Atlantic Ocean Record Lowered

The Atlantic Ocean Record Lowered.
At last the Atlantic has been crossed
in less than six days For many years
the crack ocean steamships have been
lowering the record little by little, until
the Etruria brought it down to days l
hour and % minutes. 1t seemed certain
that none Of the then existing racers
could surpass the Eruria's record, I'M
less it were herself or sister ship, the
Umbria But the last year has seen the
entering OF two new and splendid COM
petitors, the Inman Lines ships the
City OF New York and City of Paris. The
former has somewhat disappointed the
expectations of her owners as to speed,
but her twin ship the City of Paris last
month arrived at Sandy Hook, after a
voyage not under the most favorable
conditions, having made the distance
from Queenstown in days % hours and
! minutes corrected time. She not only
broke the record for the entire voyage,
but also made the quickest single days
run, having accomplished, May 9TH, 511
miles in latitude 45.11 longitude 6521.
The longest run previously made in a
single day was sos miles by the Umbria,
of the Cunard line.

there IS an iron grating upon which
the rubbish rests, and on the side
there is a fue which leads to a
chimney for conveying the smoke.
When the fire is lighted the hole
at top is closed with an iron cover,
and the whole top made air tight.
The whole arrangement does not in
volve very much expense; and this
consideration is, Of course, proper
tomato to the size Of the works
needed 1t will be for the new Ha-
waiian Legislature to consider the
adyisability Of constructing a furnace
of this kind in Honolulu; as it would
prevent, to a large extent, diseases
that arise from rotting rubbish and
give less of1ense to nasal organs that
may be sensitive or delicate The
spreading out in waste places all
kinds Of rubbish from time to time,
is not very nice to look at, and IS
not in keeping with the age in which
we live. This may be a question for
the Board Of Health to consider, and
and we give our remarks in the way
of suggestion only-in the hope,
however, that some improvement
may be made in the manner of de
posting or destroying the rubbish
Of the city.

The contest for Speaker of the House j

The contest for Speaker of the House is
narrowed down, like that for clerk. to two
men-McKinley, of Ohio, and Reed, OF
Maine. The chances of these two appear
to be almost evenly balanced. The East
seems to be nearly unanimous for Reed,
and the West for Mckinley. The South
ern representatives.. should they throw
their votes in body, can certainly make
the Speaker. AS it is, the canvass for this
Office will be prosecuted with unusual Wig
or and animation from now up to the min
ute of the meeting of the caucus. Both
the candidates are in the contest with their
coats of. If it was to be decided simply
on the intrinsic merit of the case, Mr..
Mckinley would get the prize. For while
he may possess no higher intellectual gifts
than Mr.. Reed, he is broader He would
come nearer to the elevated standard of a
speaker as set up by Mr.. Carlisle. With
Mr.. Reed it would be simple impossi-
bility to rise above the blind partisan in
the consideration of any question.

The Baltimore Fusionists.

After much caucussing the Chonic Kick.
ers and Republicans of Baltimore last
week nomin ,ted ticket that was made
out in Mr.. John c. Covers Office three
weeks previous, aud published in the
Baltimore Nsrs at the time It is fusion
ticket, of gray and black spirits. 1t il
put up by people who are tired of "boss'
dictation and the rule of the ''crimipsl
classes" Cowen dictated the ticket, and
Slater, the "boss" gambler, is one of i s
chief supporters. The original Cowen
ticket had Mr.. Thomas S. Bier on for
Chief Judge, but the negro element rebel,
ed against him, and Mr.. Robert H. Smith,
q Republican, bad to be put in his place
to please the co'ored end of the cont bina-
tion. Mr.. Cowen also prepared q plat
form, but it was repudiated by the R-pub-
licans, the latter claiming to stand on the
Republican State platform. The Cowen
platform bad civil service plank, and
relegates the tariff to the arena of nationa al
politics, 1t also SAYS there is no use for
Democratic or Republicsa principles in a
municipal government. The Republican
state platform endorses Pro,ectios, and
various Republican clubs of Baltimore
have denounced and repudiated civil ser
vice.
Altogether the fusion is a mixed affair
and no one can tell where it stands. The
Kickers and Republicans are wide apar,
on theory, aud the pursuit OF power and
and spoils is the only common bond oi
union. Ia the event of success, an awful
fight would result over the spoils, and the
parties to the fusion would hate each 9th
er with bitterness and intensity they
now manifest against the Democrats.
But fusion and failure, when applied to
politics, are Synonymous terms, and there
will be the bigges' Democratic majority
