Not Kansas, but Missouri.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
You are entirely mistaken in saying, as Won
did in an editorial paragraph in your issue OF
Saturday, that "they sell Migrants in Kans Is to
the highest bidder the law giving the pur-
chaser right to the labor Of the party pur-
chased for a certain specified period" &c.
There ls no such law in Kansas and no human
being has ever been sold within its limits for
vagrancv or otherwise since January, 1858, when
the free state men finally obtained control of
that territory and repealed the bogus laws en-
acted by the territorial Legislature Of 1855. a
legislature composed chiefly Of residents Of the
state Of Missouri.
Respectfully yours P. B. PLUMB
(The news item upon which the editorial
paragraph referred to was based was originally
published in the Kansas City Journal, and the
sale Of Migrants described occurred in Missouri
and not in Kansas.-Ed. SrARl

THE DAILY
BAR0METRIC INDICATIONS OF tn
SAMOAN HURRICANE.

Observations taken by Prof. A. Is.
Lyons, of Oahu College, and his
brother G. j. Lyons, of the Govern
ment Survey, show that the tremen-
dOus atmospheric disturbance of
March 10Th was indicated by
changes in the barometric pressure
over very wide area. There was,
at the date named, an extraordinary
rise of the barometer here, the mer-
curry reaching a higher point than at
any time since the collapse of the
crater of Kilauea in March, 1856
That subsistence was accompanied
by marked barometric rise, which
extended throughout this archipe-
lago, and how much beyond, we
know not.

4 Practical Suggestion.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I desire to offer
suggestion, partly for the benefit of
the Government, and partly for
poorly paid class of the public
servants, namely, the police. It is
based upon the practice of large
city where [ formerly resided.
There, as here, the policemen are re-
quired to furnish all their own uni
forms. The plan is simply this.
The department purchases the cloth
in large quantities and furnishes it
to the men, as required, at cost. In
this way, uniformity in the quality
of the goods and in the appearance |
of the men Is secured, a good quail |
ity of material is guarantfLaw Ror
7 i = - L. = ICED, while
RUSavruI Tie policemen In the
I cost of their uniforms is very con
siderable. As the pay which the
native members of the force receive
is very small, and as the adoption OF
this plan would cost the Government
nothing except a little trouble, il
seems to me that it is we'll worthy Of
a trial. Very respectfully,
MALIHINI

The Federal Council of Australia
has adopted an address to the crown
viewing with deep anxiety recent
/ events in Samoa, and favoring
treaties guaranteeing independence
in Samoa. and also expressing the
opinion that foreign dominion of Sa
moa endangers the safety of Aus
/ tralia.
The Auckland Star, noticing the
departure of the steamer Richmond
for the islands, said: Neither arms
nor ammunition we're taken fol
/ Samoa, but otherwise no precautior
was taken when the object of pre-
venting a recurrence of the German
bounce in the ransacking of cargo

ing of the kind Is anticipated, how

ern States, from the importance of
their foreign relations. Western
members have been habitually averse
to large appropriations for the navy.
The late untoward event must do
good service in counteracting this
dangerous indifference.
Among the points upon which in
terest will be quickened, VIII be that
Of foreign harbor improvements
This was shown even before the
Nipsic canard, in the liberal apprO-
priation Of 100000 made by Con
gress for possible contingencies, and
for improvements at the harbor of
Pago-pago, coded to the United
States at Tutuila. Successive Ad-
ministrations at Washington have
somewhat languidly moved towards
the improvement Of our Pearl Har-
Dor, Of which they have the exclusive
privilege for naval purposes. This
concession remains useless to the
United States until they deepen The
channel through the soft coral Of the
outer bar, so as to admit large ships.
Lieut.. Wilson of the Vandalia, with
MS assistants, made a minute and
exhaustive survey Of both the harbOr
and bar during 1887-8, We believe
the cost of opening the channel will
be much less than one million dol
lars. 1t is reported that the losses
of the U. s. Navy at Apia will foot
up over two millions, showing how
small, in proportion to possible
losses, is the probable cost of needed
improvements to the harbor.
With the opening of the bar at
Puuloa, the Pacific squadron of the
American navy will manifestly be in
a greatly strengthened position. It
will be in the exclusive possession of
the only first class harbor in the mid
Pacific, and indeed in all respects,
one Of the very best harbors in the
world. No destructive waves like
those at Apia can possibly traverse
the long, river-hke channels above
Puuloa, even if they could pass in
full force over the barrier reef. The
inner reaches of the harbOr are safe
against even the heaviest earthquake
waves, or of anything short of a
Krakatoa CONFUSION, such as drove
the sea five miles inland. We never
have hurricanes in this region of the
but even in the fiercest
cyclones, vessels in the Eva lagoons
would have their anchors in stiff
mud, the best of holding ground. If
driven ashore they would bring up
on mud banks from which they could
be easily and safely removed.
The defense of Pearl Harbor
would seem to be a matter of great
The only approach for
an enemy by water is up a straight
channel, directly commanded by the
end of the Waipio peninsula, upon
which search lights and dynamite
guns would form an adequate pro-
lection. SO large and secure a har
Dor for purposes of supply and re-
fitting, and in such a choice geogra-
Dhical position, must contribute
to the efficiency of the
navy. In view of the gain
in this respect, the expenditure, even
of millions, must be regarded as
5rifing. It seems reasonable, in
view of the recent events, to look for
an early opening of Puuloa bar by
the United States Government.
