The decrease of S42,000,000 in
the bonded debt the past month of
September was greater than in any
month since the period of refund
ing operations under Secretary
Sherman. The heavy bond pur-
chases to relieve the New York
financial stringency were made in
September.
The New York Herald says the
combined losses of the National
and Brotherhood Baseball League,
will foot up over 100000. All but
the New York, Boston and Chicago
Brotherhood Clubs and the PhiIa-
delphia National League Club will
have to bear losses ranging from
$500 to $4,000.
The German Post Office officials
have been experimenting during
the last few days with the North
Sea cable, seventy-five kilometres
long, between Heligoland and Cux-
haven, to test the possibility of
using submarine cables of consider
able length for telephone purposes.
The results have been very favor
able, distinct communication hav-
ing been obtained at both ends.
The Glasgow Committee of the
Mutual Telephones Company, Linn

long distances, as for instance, be-
tween Glasgow and Manchester
and London. The new system is
proposed to be inaugurated with
the new year.

THE MOON.

A Recent Photograph That Gives Sur
prising Effects of the Lunar Surface.
The Herald says; A photograph
of the moon, taken in March last
by the Brothers Henry at the Paris
Observatory, and published in Ma
ture of the 9th inst, seems to eclipse
all previous delineations of the
lunar surface.
The picture includes the central
region satellite. 1t is astonishing
how many details on the moons
surface are brought to light. The
photograph shows striking marks
of former volcanic activity, occur
ring probably before the moon had
become cool or rigid, when the
lunar tides excited by the earth's
attraction must have been vastly
more destructive than our highest
tides.
In some pictures recently taken
at the Lick observatory, Professor
Holden reports that parallel walls
on the moon, whose tops are only
about 200 yards wide, and which
are not more than 1900 yards apart,
are plainly visible. If we shall ever
have as good apicture of the planet
Mars, the question of its canals,
its seas and snowy poles, as we'll
as its habits, will be greatly simpli-
fed.

Mn. EDITOR: In your issue of
Nov. l4th last, | particularly took
notice of Peter Lees version of a
fiction in reference to the rejection
By the Legislature of his greedy
and fabulous price of $4,000 for
the purchase of his Volcano road,
and more so by his audaclty in
referring me to the would-be
Heather ChInee. Without paying
any particular attention to much of
what Mr.. Lee had said, which L
deem most uncalled for and ungen-
tlemanly, l will here give few
facts that caused the rejection of
MS claim ofS1O,OeO.
On the 18th of May, Hon. o. &.
Apiki submitted to the House a
petition from Mr.. Lee asking to
sell the road in question to the
Government for the sum of $40, ll3,
and it was tabled to be considered
with the Appropriation Bill. On
The 4th of August, Hon. ]. Nawahl
introduced q resolution that So, 900
be inserted in the Appropriation
Bill for the purchase of this road,
md it was 1nally given to select
Committee. Immediately after
wards I and other honorable mem
bers of the House went and in
spected the agreement between
Peter Lee and the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, and
found that he did not have the
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-12-09

right to sell the said Volcano road
to the Government or to any one
else. And on the 10Th of August,
Hon. Noble W. H. Cornwell sub
mitted the report of the select COM
mittee, recommending that the sum
of $4,000 be appropriated for the
purchase of the said road. l OPP
posed the recommendation OF the
select committee, for the reason
above stated, and the report was
tabled. The day after 1.-THE 27th)
certain members of the committee
came and asked me to move for a
reconsideration, and at the same
time showed me bill of sale,
wherein the l. l. S. \. Co. is pur-
ported to have had disposed all its
rights to Peter Lee, the said pur-
ported document having been exc
cuted the evening before. There
fore, it was re-considered to be
considered with the Appropriation
Bill. 1t is now best for you, Mr..
Peter Lee, to "read, mark, learn
and inwardly digest " that two
claims were passed to be consider
ed with the Appropriation Bill, one
being for SO, 113 and the other the
$4,000 recommended by the select
committee.
I received several letters from
kau stating that it was not proper
for the Government to buy the said
road, and, moreover, 1 personally
met some responsible gentlemen
from the same place, who were of
the same opinion. Not only these,
but | also received some assistance
in Honolulu, and in putting them
together, l then deemed that it was
best for the Legislature to reject
this preposterous claim of $4,000,
and arrived at the following con-
lusions:
l. A certain portion of the road
is built on Crown lands, which is
under lease, and has fifteen or
more years Yet TO run.
?. The Government paid for
building the fences along the sides
of the road to prevent cattle and
other animals from trespassing
over cultivated portions.
3. The 1. l. S. n. Co. paid 81, 400
TO Peter Lee.
1. Peter Lee has received some
money from the road under the
agreement with the l. l. S. n. Co.
). The road is not in the same
condition now as when it was
built.
L strongly support the spending
of public moneys for roads, because,
l think, that good roads are q sure
sign of an enlightened and progress
sive government, but not in the
way that Mr.. Lee would have me
inappropriate public treasure
for his personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
nor under the same uncertain con-
ditions and restrictions as imposed
by him.
[ have nothing further to say, as
l deem it is all idle talk and useless
like Gan i'll wind that blows nobody
any good to have anything more
to say of this road, and the least
said the sooner mended." Mr..
Lees wall about the rejection of
the purchase of his Volcano road
is similar to one crying after spilled
milk. Goodbye, Peter Lee

The day has frightened into eve,
And over oil the meadows
The twilight's silent shuttles weave
Their sombro web of shadows;
With northern lighro the cioudleD skios
Are family phosDh0rescent;
And Just above yon wooded rise
The new moon shows her crescent
Before the evening lamps ere lit,
While DAY and night commingle,
The sire and nation come and sit
Beside the cosy Jingle;
AMI s0fuy speak Of the delight
Within their b0soma swelling,
Because beneath their roof tonight
Their dear ones all are dwelling.
And when around the cheerful blaze
The young folks take their places,
What blisaiul dreams Of other days
lisht mp their ased fecesl
The past returns with sll joys
And they again are living
The years IN which, q girls and boys,
Their children kept Thanksgiving.
The stalwart SON recalls the time
when, urged TO the endeavor,
He tried the well-greased pole - climb.
And failed Of fame forever.
The daughter tells Of her ompriso
When, - q new beginner,
She helped her mother make the pies
For the Thankseiving dinner.
