Suffering Indians.

WINNIPEG, Man, March IA gentle
man who has just returned from the
Peace River Indian reservation brings
frightful stories of starvation and desti-
tuition among the Indians there and
states that if the Government does not
take action to relieve them the whole
band will be exterminated- All of them
are SO much reduced physically that
they are unable to hunt and are resort
ing to cannibalism. He had heard of
only two or three cases of that horrible
nature when he left, but feared that
many more might have occurred by this
time. Influenza has also played sad
havoc among them.

ANOTHER CABLE LETTER.

HoNoLnLU, II. L., Aug: 3.
To THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
Permit me to offer n public an
swer to Noble Ill. A. Widemann' 8
statements on the floor of the Legis-
iature yesterday. In answer TO the
claim that the Cable Co. might in
wade the territory of existing corpor.
ations, the concession plainly pro-
hibits such action, the wording being
explicit and forcing our company to
run their line of telegraphs through
Aahukona to Kawaihae for the very
purpose of avoiding such conflicts
of interests. On Maui our tele-
graph poles have been extensively
used by the telephone companies TO
run their wires on and our relations
with all interested are of the pleas

phone wire in aid of the unfortunates

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST G, 1890.
CHANGE OF NAME.

The report of DR.. Tucker, Me-
dical Superintendent of the Oahu
Insane Asylum, to the Minister of
Interior, which is incorporated with
the lattcr's report TO the Legisla-
ture, recommends the changing of
the name of that institution from
''Insane Asylum to Hawaiian
Hospital" The reason assigned
for the recommendation is that the
term Insane Asylum has very un-
pleasant associations in the minds
of most people. They have n horror
of insanity. Patients who are in
sane are rarely so continuously
They often have sane interval at
the time of commitment to the Asy-
lum. The process of committal,
under such circumstances, naturally
causes painful shock to their dis
eased minds. They have an eSag-
gerated horror of an insane asylum.
The idea of being sent to hospital
for treatment IS not so rcpulsive.
1t may be remarked that the SEN
timcnt involved in Dir. fuckers re-
commentator is one that has been
acted upon in parts of the United
States of late years, and it is said
with beneficial results. IL changing
the name of the local institution is
going to lessen the objections
against becoming inmates of unfor-
Inmates who need its care, or the
objections of their friends, by all
means let the name be changed.

A PROPOSITION.

EDITOR BULLETIN
AS the present constitution seems
so be unsatisfactory to q very large
majority of the people throughout
the Islands and appears to be the
sole cause of our political unrest,
why would it not be advisable to
have new constitution carefully
and consistently drawn up; then call
caucas and have every member of
the National Reform Party at that
caucas and there let every point OF
said constitution be settled satisfac-
torily to every member present, be-
fore it is introduced to the Legisla-
ture? We believe the country would
be satisfied with the present mem
bers of the House as forming CON
Stitutional convention, thereby saw
ing great expense to the nation. A
constitution formulated and en-
dorsed by the people would in n
great measure restore confidence in
the nations stability, which has
been rudely shaken for the last three
years. With such constitution,
peace must follow, discomfort be
banished, and a more healthy state
of public feeling be realized, and in
the language of the scriptures,
Ephralm shall no longer yex Judah
nor judah Ephraim.

TEE OPIUM MnnnlE.
a strike Made bv this Judiciary
Committee.

Committee,
1t was reported about town to-day
that the Judiciary Committee of tho
Legislature had "struck lie" in its
investigation of the opium scandal.
y Bulletin reporter has elected the
following particulars
The committee was approached
by Chinese intormer, who told it
where some of the opium stolen
from the Custom House was de-
posted. lie wanted money TO de-
velop the clue and the committee
furnished him with $40. With
this he went TO a well.known Chi.
nese firms store and bought SO
tins of opium, which he turned over
to the committee as part of the
stolen goods.
IL the article is as represented,
however, the finding of it does not
imply the detection of the thief.
This is because, if the firm knew
that it was Custom House opium
and yet bought it, the firm would
implirnte itself in the crime of re-
ceivng stolen goods by divulging
that it had such knowledge. y per.
son who is posted in the matter
says that the OPIUM has the San
Francisco stamp Of 1890 on it
which puts it out of court rs tho
stolen opium. In this case the lu-
dietary Committee has simply helped
in $40 trade Of opium, with no.
body but n single informer To give
evidence against the seller. This
would mean $40 good money gone
less what the opium will bring for OK
port if not stolen, aud the investiga
tiGn Of the committee not n bit adj
vanced, to which is to he added tht
loss of u whole nights sleep to tht
committee.

As 10 the copies of the channel
soundings personally asked for
them nj the Survey Office As any one
is at perfect liberty 10 do, and paid
tor them ten dollars, and have since
verified much of the work from the
decks of the three cable vessels,
which we have had at wolk. We
grant that the subsidy is too small
by at least fifty per cent, but hay
ing set our hands to the work and
invested our money it is too late to
cease after having over one hundred
miles finished. As to the dividends
to be expected, Judge Widemann is
undoubtedly correct, large profits
are not TO be expected for some
time hut we hope 10 grow as other
enterprises have in the kingdom.
Regular international telegraph
instruments were used on the lines
which will be shown TO anyone tie
string to see them. The bit of
frayed cable which some party has
furnished Noble Widemam and
which he exhibited to the honorable
| members was some of the condemned
cable which like other odds and
ends vii! accumulate around all
cable vessels and works. Let it be
remembered that the first Atlantic
cable failed after working two or
three weeks, the first cable across
the Mediterranean broke inside of
a month and the cable from Dover
TO Calais lasted but day. The
government in each instance lent
the hard worked and discouraged
tclegraphers helping hand, gave
them extensions and everyone
knows the happy results. In view
of such abundant precedents we do
not hesitate to ask for little more
time for this, the first cable IN
Polynesia.
AS regards our stock and the
statement that Jonathan Austin
holds seven thousand dollars worth,
it is fair to an absent and of course
defenseless man to state that on or
about January first of the current
year, Austin stated to me that he
was about to resign from the Cabi-
net, that he twas getting too many
clubs over his head and was tired
of being found fault with, was going
back to his law office" arranged
with him to act as attorney for oul
firm bartholomew q Baker, anC
turned over seven thousand dollar;
paid up stock, which was properly
transferred and receipted for by
Austin in the usual way. lie die
not vote on or use the stock to my
knowledge until after his resigna
ton. The statement has been made
at divers times that the firm o
Bartholomew & Baker had mad
some attempt TO obtain a portion o
the Government subsidy. This i
absolutely false as the following let
ter from Eek. Minister of Finance
Hon. :. M. Damon, will show.

$4,000 for a Dinner

81 once paid $4,000 for dinner for
forty people," said General William T.
Clarke, now of Denver, formerly Adiutant-
General of the Seventeenth Army Corps.
commanded by General James McPher-
son. The remark was made to listening
group at the Southern Hotel last night.
General Clarke went on to explain ABOUT
the high priced meal. 1t was in jackson.
Mississippi, in the summer of 1862. The
Federal army had Just taken possession of
the town. A few days before that one of
the Federal cavalry commands had cap
tured a Confederate officer on his way to
Texas, to buy cattle for the Confederacy.
and with him they captured big leather
valise stuffed full of Confederate money
some of it is just as it came from the press
with the sheets uncut. 1t counted up in
all $4,000. General Clarke got hold of it
and went to man named johnson, who
kept the best hotel in Jackson. He told
the landlord that he would give him
$4,000 for dinner for forty, and the
landlord went to work to do his best. and
really got up fine dinner. All the prin-
cipal Generals of the army sat down to it.
When the meal was finished General
Clarke handed over the $4,000 to Mr..
johnson. "It made the old fellow rich,
too" said General Clarke, ''for he put
every dollar of it into real estate at very
fair figures, considering the character of
the currency, and his heirs are pretty well
off now on account of the rise in the value
of the past twenty-five years."-S Louis

Steamer Collides With q Barge of Ex-



A Steamer Collides With a Barge of Ex-
cursionists.
ASTORIA q. L.. July 5th-The coasting
steamer Eleanora, while bound eastward
through He'll Gate this evening, collided
with the Walter Sands, one of two barges
lashed together, upon which were between
800 and 1000 women and children, in
tow of the tug-boat Idlewild. 1t is almost
miracle that terrible disaster and great
loss of life did not follow. Fortunately.
however. no one was killed, though sew
eral were injured. Eight of those whose
injuries were most serious were taken to
the hospital.
Captain Connerton, of the barge Walter
Sands, says that while passing through
He'll Gate the Eleanora was seen steaming
to the east. The tug signalled her, by
whistling twice, to keep the port side, and
the steamer apparently obeyed the signal
until about opposite the barge. Her bow
then suddenly turned, and in a moment
crushed against the side of the barge amid
ships, throwing the latter on its beam end,
though it was dashed to the barge. In q
second the rear half of the guard rail and
bulwarks of the upper deck were cut clear
away.
Along the rail of the bench seats run.
ming around the upper deck were seated
many men. women and children, upon
whom the broken supports and splinters
of timbers fell. About twenty persons in
all were injured by these flying pieces.
Had the steamer struck the barge more
squarely, there is no telling what the re-
suit would have been. At the time of the
collision the larger portion of the excur.
sionists we're dancing, and the moment the
crash was heard scene of the most in.
tense excitement prevailed. Men ran
hither and thither, searching for their
wives and children and sweethearts, and
shouting for life-preservers. while women
tainted and children joined in with q
chorus of cries. The officers of the barge
soon succeeded, however, in restoring order

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.
Address to the Wool Growers in Favor of
the Mckinley Bill

ST. LOUIS, July 5th.-The officers of the
Wool Growers National Association have
issued another address to the wool growers
setting forth the dangers of the proposed
Senate amendments to the Mckinley bill,
so far as wool is concerned.
Senator Hales amendment, if adopted. u
the address says, will admit wool free OF
duty from all the nations of this hemis.
phere. Cleveland's free wool recommen.
dation was no worse. South Americas
woods would supplant domestic woods, and
your industry would perish. The Repub.
lican platform would be violated, the prin.
ciples of protection surrendered, as the
production of wool necessary for clothing
in the United States would be transferred
to foreign nations"
The address further protests vigorously
TO strike out the clause prohibiting the
sorting of woods, to strike cut the words
Including charges" thus raising the d.
have yielded all that can be safely yielded
in Justice to our industry, to secure gen.
eral protective legislation. Any of the
amendments referred to are dangerous.
The Hale amendments would work
absolute ruin. Eighteen of the other
amendments will perpetuate the fraudu-
lent practices in the importations of car
pets, wool, etc. We call for your i'm
mediate action, as individuals, and as
associations, to give notice to those repre-
senting you in the halls of legislation that
we expect the Republican party to redeem
their pledges and fulfill their promises by
speedily passing the Mckinley bill.''
