The Nicaragua Canal.

August 31st. The troubles between
Nicaragua and Costa RIGA arising
out of the canal scheme are being
arbitrated.
Each month records some addi-
tional progress with this great enter
prise. Preparations are now max
ing to dig from both the Atlantic
and Pacific sides of the lsthmus. On
the Pacific side the work is expected
to begin the first of January at
Brito. The two sections of laborers
will work towards each other and
meet. On the Atlantic side it is a
question what the name of tie tie en-
terilee. E pert snail be called. The
native name of it is San Juan de Nj
caragua, but good while ago some
Englishman called it Greytown.
Whatever we call it, however, prop
erty is advancing in value within its
boundaries already.
Engineer Menocal sailed for Mica
ragua on the 10th inst. In speaking
of the work on the canal, he says it
will take at least year to make the
preparations, and after this, when
the machinery is in place, it will take
six years to complete the work.

The government has decided to
build two 5000 ton cruisers in the
navy yards at Brooklyn and Nor
folk.
The recent manoeuvers of the Brit
ish naval vessels In British waters
have been very disappointing.
The failure to make the required
speed of from 10 to IL knots was
the greatest surprise.

day to run off the non-union crew of
the barkentine Discovery, now load
ing for the islands Thirty union

How High-License WORKS.

Philadelphia papers testify to the
fact that the Brooks high-license
law has worked wonders in that city
in reducing drunkenness. All police
magistrates say there is great fall
ling off in their work since the law
went into effect. In one slum dis
trict where fifty prisoners were not
an unusual number on a Sunday
morning, it often happens that there
are none Another notable differ
ence is the falling off of intemperance
among women. It has been charged
that extreme temperance people are
the greatest obstacles in the way of
establishing temperance among the
people of city. They demand too
much. They want prohibition or
nothing, and they get nothing and
plenty of it. Prohibition has never
been anything but farce in the big
cities and never will be. 1t may be
enforced in small communities,
where there is public sentiment to
back it up, and there is more or less
secret drinking there, but cities
won't have it. A high-license rigor-
ously enforced is the only means of
curbing an evil that cannot be
eradicated in cities like New York
and Philadelphia. Texas Siftings.

Goals to Newcastle.

1t seems almost like carrying
Goals to Newcastle" to take wheat
from this port to Australia, but that
is being done at the present time.
Owing to the partial failure of the
Australian wheat crop, grain is now
being sent from here there in con-
siderable quantities. The ship
Reaper sailed for Sydney on Tues
day with 41,776 centals wheat, value
1853, and the British ship Bryn-
hilda, 1909 tons, and the American
ship Gatherer, 1896 tons, are now at
Port Costa loading wheat for the
same port
The Oceanic Company's steamer
Zealandia will carry considerable
wheat among her cargo for Austria
liza. Yesterday three scow-schooners,
the Anna Matilda, Albertine and
Hercules discharged their cargoes
of wheat into her. After the Anna
Matilda had discharged her cargo,
the Albertine hauled alongside the
port, ahead of the Hercules, which
had come into the slip ahead of her
Then Captain lessen of the Hercules
got wrathy and a fight seemed i'm
minent. The receiving clerk and
others interfered to prevent trouble,
and finally the Albertine hauled off
and the Hercules discharged first

MAKING SMUGGLERS SWEAT.
Rigor OF Judge Hoffman of San Fran
cisco in Dealing with smugg1ers.

Rigor of Judge Hoffman of San Fran
cisco in Dealing with smugglers.
The following are extracts from the
San Francisco Atlas reports of the sen
fencing of an opium smuggler in Sar
Francisco:
John Burns, convicted of attempting
to smuggle $3.50 worth OF opium from
the steamer Empire, appeared for SEN
tence in the United States District Court
| yesterday. Attorney Van Duzer asked
the Court to inhict fine instead OF a
sentence OF penal servitude, but Judge
Hoffman declined to do so, as he said
such sentence would tend to encourage
smuggling. "The opium ring" said
Judge Hoffman, "would only be too
glad to accept such sentence, and
would Immediately pay the fines OF their
smugglers, who would continue their
illegal business. Burns has shown by
his own testimony that he deliberately
attempted to smuggle the opium into
this port, and although | recognize the
fact that he is the father of family, l
am inclined to deal severely with him
as an example for others who are pur-
suing the same business" Burns was
then ordered to appear for sentence this
morning. He has been offered chance
to gain his liberty by turning States evil
denCe, and it is expected that he may
consent at the last moment in order to
save himself from heavy sentence.
In the United States District Court
yesterday Judge Hoffman pronounced a
sentence of one years imprisonment
and fine of $50 on h. Burns, who was
convicted of facilitating the transporta-
ton of sixty-four boxes OF smuggled
opium, which arrived in San Francisco
on the steamer Empire, December 10,
1888. After Mr.. Van Duzer, Burns at
torney, had made an appeal to the |
Court of leniency before the sentence |
was pronounced, the wife of the defend |
ant, who was in Court with her young |
babe, made an impassioned appeal for |
mercy in behalf of her husband. 1t was
his first otfense, she pleaded, and he
would be sure to take the lesson to heart |
if let off with a fine. "He is the only |
support of myself and my child" she
said, as the tears coursed down her
cheeks, and then broke down in fit of
waning ana ended her appeal, while her
husband covered his face with his
hands and cried.
Judge Hotfman's sympathy for the
fearful wife was aroused, but he firmly
refused to let the prisoner off without a
term of imprisonment
He proposed to break up the business
Of smuggling opium into this port if pos
Sible, he said. There had been con-
talk OF there being a ring en-
gagged in smuggling opium in from the
northern coast, and if any member OF
such ring came before him they might
expect no mercy. Smuggling was in
'reasing at an alarming rate, ard mem
Ders Of the ring were quite willing to pay
small fines for members caught at it.
The Court ended by pronouncing the
which he said was the lightest
me he could impose under the circum-
stances.

BARKS AND SHIPS.
The Utility of the Varied Vessel Riggings
in the HarbOr.

The UBlllJy OF Jhe varied teSSel hlgglngs
in the HarbOr.
"Why is it that most of the vessels
that come to this port are banks
rather than full-rigged ships?" was
put to the harbor-maste yesterday.
because a bark takes less material
in the way of canvas and can be
managed with two less men and
makes nearly as good sailing time"
son the same principle, then, do
we have schooners in order to lessen
the number of the crew and thus
curtail expenses?"
"No, a schooner is not built that
way for that reason, as it will re-
quire as many men as bark, but
because the former can sail closer to
the wind than the latter, which is
great advantage in beating against
the wind. While ship or bark can
sail within six points of the wind,
schooner can sail within five. Again,
in lacking with schooner, the man
at the wheel simply throws the yes
sci around and she is on the other
tack before ship or bark has fully
gotten ready to tack"

SUDDEN DEATH
J. II. Buns, Jr., Dies After an Illness
of One Week,

J. n. Buns, Jr., Dies After an Illness
of One Week,
The startling word passed round on
Tuesday evening that J Henry Bruins, Jr.,
was dead. Comparatively few outside
OF the circle OF his relatives and imme-
date friends had known OF his serious
illness. Mr.. Bruins was sick for only a
week, the malady being erysipelas,
caused by taking cold upon an liberated
tooth. Medical skill was unavailing and
he died after a short period OF uncon-
seriousness about 9 o'clock Tuesday
evening His father, mother, wife and
three young children, three brothers and
two sisters are left to mourn his loss.
A brother and sister, Willie and Meta,
are in the States, the others all at home.
Mr.. Bruins had for several years up to
his last illness been well and favorably
known as an upholsterer in Mr.. Will
liams furniture factory, having prevl-
ouslv for some time been in business on
his own account. He was member OF
Company A, Honolulu Rifles, and of
Oceanic Council, American Legion OF
Honor, and was very popular among the
younger generation, withal being OF ex.
emplary character in all the relations OF
life. While his father was Frustrated
recently in long period OF critical i'll
ness, Henry waited upon him with the
most filial devotion day and night. 1t is
only three or four weeks since the old
gentleman passed the serious crisis, and
none could have thought then that he
would survive his atfectionate and
eldest son.
The funeral took place at half-past |
four O'Clock next afternoon, from the |
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Bruins, ST., SO
Beretania street.

Yegetarianism.

As a diet pure and simple
vegetarianism will never do in
these days of high nervous and

being absolutely essential, but as a
corrective of excess it is a very good
fashion to follow. The food at a

nicely cooked, is very tasty and of
every conceivable variety, the menu
containing about twenty different
kinds of dishes and soups Family
