THE KING OF BRIDGES.
Opening the Great Structure Over
the Firth OF Forth

Opening the Great Structure over
the Firth OF Forth.
The great railway bridge over the River
Forth at Edinburgh, Scotland, has just been
opened by the Prince of Wales with great
ceremony. Many eminent engineers and
railway directors were present. An i'm
merse crowd of spectators witnessed the
ceremony The day was observed as holi-
day in Edinburgh in honor Of the occasion.
The Forth Bridge has been styled the King
of Bridges. 1t is big enough to be added to
the wonders of the world. 1t far surpasses
not only in utility but in its structure as an
engineering feat, the Eiffel Tower. The cal
culation has been made that one of the three
cantilevers of the bridge, with its connecting
girders if set up lengthways on end, would
be very nearly the same height as the Paris
tower
The latter only contains $500 tons of IRON
while the Forth Bridge has absorbed over
50. 900 tons of the finest steel that could be
procured. It was begun in 1888, and has
taken about seven years to complete. The
bridge proper is just over mile in length, but
there are viaducts on each end connecting it
with the high ground, and these together add
half mile more to the length of the work.
The height of the spans above the water is
$50 feet, allowing for the passage Of the
largest vessels. To attain this height, and
yet to have the necessary strength, the cam
tilevers tower high above, and they required
an elevation as high as st. Paul's Cathedral
A comparison between the Forth and other
great bridges of the world is as follows:

MRS. REBECCA HOWARD HITCH
COCK.

The Aged Missionary Mother Passes to
Her Long Rest at Hilo, Hawaii.
By the Iwalani on Saturday, let
ter from Mr.. Rufus Lyman, Of Ha-
makua, reports the intelligence re-
ceived by telephone from Hilo, of the
death on Thursday morning April
10th, of the venerable Mrs. Hitch
cock, at the age of 81 years. 1t is
known that the deceased lady had
been suffering from an attack Of ''la
grippe"
Mrs. Hitchcock, nee Rebecca Ho-
ward, was born at Owasco, Cayuga
Co., N. Y, Dec. 2, 1908; was married
Aug. rs, 1881, to the Rev. Harvey
Rexford Hitchcock, of Manchester,
Conn, and embarked with him at
New Bedford Nov. 26, 1881, on the
Averick, in company with Messrs.
Alexander, Armstrong, and others, of
which large company Mrs. Arm
strong now in California, is the last
survivor. Soon after their arrival
here in 1882, Mr.. and Mrs. Hitchcock
were stationed on Molokai, where they
lived until Mr.. Hitchcock's death
Aug. %, 1855. For many years Mrs.
Hitchcock has lived at Hilo, the resi-
dence of her sons, Judge David H.
Hitchcock, Mr.. Edward G.. Hitch
cock, the present sheriff of Hawaii,
and latterly, Prof. III. Rexford Hitch
cock, late principal of Lahainaluna
Seminary.
During the twenty-three years of
her missionary service with her hus-
band on Molokai, Mrs. Hitchcock was
great power for good upon that
island Her personal influence with
the women throughout the island
was often spoken of as something
very remarkable. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hitchcock were favored by the alb
sence in their field of most of those
adverse external influences which
neutralized so much of the labors of
others. But much Of their peculiar
success must be imputed to the per-
sonal magnetism, and the affection
ate, untiring zeal for the spiritual
and material welfare of the people
which characterized them both.
During her later life, this veneer
able missionary mother has been
noticeable for her benignant pres
ence, and affectionate kindness of in
tercourse towards all. She has been
a most welcome guest in our Homo.
lulu homes from time to time as one
who brought with her helpful and
gracious spiritual atmosphere.
Mrs. Hitchcock leaves goodly
circle of children and grandchildren,
among the latter, Mrs. HI. S. Towns
end of Kamehameha school, and
Mrs. A. B. Loebenstein of Hilo. Her
sons and their wives were probably
all present at the parting hour.

THE POSITION TAKEN BY THE
NEY-GENERAL.

The position taken by the Attorney
General is that one man, because he
happens to draw the salary Of the
Attorney General for the time being,
is superior III power to the other
three members of the Cabinet and to
the entire Supreme Court; and that
with the avowed object of retaining
arelative in Office, he proposes single
handed, to defy the law, the consti-
tuition, the Cabinet and the Court.
This announcement of the right of a
minority to rule, is one which strikes
at the liberties and the rights of
every citizen. The people of this
country have gone through trials and
bloodshed, loss and suffering, to
emancipate themselves from auto
cratic rule, and if we mistake not,
the community is not in frame of
mind to accept new autocrat for an
old one

DEATH OF Mr.. II. MOLLbR.

A Respected Resident of KeaIia,
Passes Away-Resolutions of Condo
lence.
We have to record the death OF
MIR. Holger Moller, sugar boiler,
which took place at Kealia, Kauai,
on Monday, April 7th, after short
illness.
Mr.. Fl. Moller was native of
Denmark and was by profession an
architect. He practiced for several
years in America, but owing to fail
ure of his eyesight he had to relin-
quish his pursuits, and came to these
islands to join his brother Mr.. e.
Moller, now of Kilauea.
His thorough scientific training
enabled him to turn with ease to his
new occupation of sugar boiling, and
he was known as one of the best. in
the islands. Wherever he has been,
he has been recognized as man Of
clear judgment, of modest demeanor,
OF ingenious mind, Of artistic tastes.
Those who knew him we'll, knew him
to be interested in truth rather than
in profit. His work at Kealia had
been very successful, and his char
acter had been 80 well discovered
there, that his demise has been
mourned by all. The deceased leaves

TO THE ADVERTISING PUBLIC.

Understanding that Mr.. J. G. Lane
is soliciting advertisements for a
foreign directory, we desire to make
a statement Of facts regarding him
and his visit here. During March.
MIR. Lane entered into an engage.
ment in San Francisco with the
manager of the Hawaiian Gazette
Company to canvass in that city for
advertisements to be inserted in the
forthcoming Hawaiian Guide Book
receiving full details of the service
required of him, which he accepted
and agreed to execute on certain
stipulated terms.
Without previous notice Of any
intention to abandon the service be
had voluntarily accepted, he appears
here in Honolulu with the avowed
purpose of canvassing for advertise
ments for new edition of a direc-
tory of this city and group, to be
printed in San Francisco. his princi-
pal object evidently being to en-
barass and retard the publication of
the new Guide Book. By mis-
representations he may be able to
deceive merchants and others re-
garding the object of his soliciting
advertisements at this particular
time, as the publishers of the direc-
tory have had no intention of issuing
a new edition this year.
It is we'll known that the directory
for which he canvassed here two
years ago, contained many errors
and omissions, estimated at several
hundred, which rendered it of very
little value here or abroad.
That it was largely made up of
Chinese names.
That it's statistical matter was
copied largely, perhaps wholly, from
Thrum's Almanac and other local
sources.
That it did not contain one half
the number of voters on the islands,
though it did have nearly all the
Chinese cooks, stewards and laborers
in the city.
THAT not dollar of the cost of
printing and binding the books was
spent here,
And that its publication, SO far
as it purports to be a correct direc-
tory of this group, is generally be-
]ieved to be an imposition and fraud.
1t will also be remembered that
the canvasser for this directory, pub
lished in 1883, a very insulting letter
about one of our most respected
residents, Mr.. r. w. Meyers of
Molokai, and after being compelled
to retract. Mr.. Lane or the pub
fishers emphasized the insult to MIR.
Meyers, by publishing a false state
ment concerning him in the direc-
tory.
And now comes this foreign
itinerant traducer of our citizens,
and solicits their patronage to assist
him in getting up another directory,
probably of the same sort, and char
acterized with the numerous and
objectionable imperfections which
the former book contains, chiefly on
account of being compiled by
strangers and irresponsible men.

The majority of the Cabinet there
upon submitted the question to the
Supreme Court. as to whether the
majority or the minority Of the
Cabinet should control. The judges
replied that the only logical conclu-
sion was that the majority should
rule, and that In any case where
Cabinet action was required, or the
law required the King to act upon
the advice of the Cabinet, a majority
of the Cabinet was sufficient.
This opinion of the Court has
been published by the ADVERTISER
in full.
The Cabinet thereupon waited
upon the King again, presented the
opinion of the Court to him, and
| Messrs. Damon, Austin and Thurston
again advised him to sign Major
Hebbard's commission.
The Attorney General again ad
vised him not to, and further ad
vised him to refuse to pay any atten
ton to the advise of the Supreme
Court, telling him that the opinion
of the Judges Of the Supreme Cour1
was of no more Importance thar
that of any other three men.
The King thereupon refused tx
sign the commission.

CONCERNING THE APPOINTMENT
OF THE COLONEL OF VOL
UNTEEES.

For several weeks past both the
Elele and the Ka Leo have been Civ
ing series of statements concerning
what was being done by the Cabinet,
OF such nature that they could have
been furnished by no one but a mem
Der Of the Cabinet.
Having reason to believe that the
statements made by these papers
were either garbled or wholly untrue,
we have taken the pains to ascertain
a few facts concerning recent Cab
met history, which are as follows:
During the absence of the At
torney- General from the Kingdom,
the term of Office of the Colonel of
Volunteers expired. Under the au-
tnority and responsibility placed
upon them by the statute, the other
three members of the Cabinet refused
to re-appoint Mr.. V. V. Ashford to
the position, upon the ground that
he was an unit man for the position.
Upon the return of the Attorney
General, he took the position that
the other three members of the Cab
met were acting unjustly toward his
brother; that he was entitled to the
position; that the Rifles could not
exist without him, and insisted that
the other three members should re-
verse their decision and approve of
the appointment. This they refused
to do. The Attorney General there
upon announced his intention of op-
posing the majority of the Cabinet
In accordance with the terms of the
statute, the majority thereupon de-
cided to appoint Major H.F. Hebbard
to the position, the Attorney General
voting no. The other members of
the Cabinet thereupon inquired of
MIR. Ashford whether he proposed to
carry his opposition to the extent of
advising the King not to sign Mr..
Hebbard's commission. He refused
to say whether he would so advise or
not, stating that when the time came
he would advise as he thought fit.
Upon the disagreement reaching
this stage the other members re-
quested Mr.. Ashford to withdraw
from the Cabinet, as he was unwill-
ing to remain and work harmoni-
ously with them.
Mr.. Ashford refused to resign.
and stated that SO far from resign
ing, he proposed to remain and pre-
vent by every means in his power
the unwise and unjust action pro-
posed by the other members in at
tempting to appoint any person
except Mr.. V. V. Ashford as colonel
Of the volunteers.
A Cabinet meeting was thereupon
held With the King, at which three
members of the Cabinet advised him
to sign Major Hebbard's commission,
and the Attorney-General advised
him not to. The King thereupon
replied that he should refuse to do
any act upon the advice of the
Cabinet unless they were unani-
NOUS, which position the Attorney
General approved of and supported.
