CHINA is evidently afraid that she
has been too Indifferent to the demands
OF Europe and the United States that
missionaries and other foreigners be
protected from violence. Among other
things it is reported that conciliatory
word has been sent to Germany, and it
is also understood that fleet has been
sent to the scene of the outrages. China
does not care to fight Western civiliza-
ton just yet, but she hates it thor
oughly.
SENATOR MORRILL,, after making a
trip from the New England coast along
the Canadian line as far west as De-
troit, gives it as his opinion that the
tariff will encourage AmeriGGanDarmers
TO raise many products n orcextensively
next year than they do now. He finds
the tariff very popular, as a rule, on the
American side of the line. 1t is to be
hoped that it will be still more popular
next year, and it probably will be. The
American people will take backward
step when it leans toward tariff for
revenue instead of protection.

Remedy for Bee Moths


A correspondent of Farm, Field and
Stockman asks if there is any way to
prevent moths from getting into bee
hives, and that paper replies: There
is no moth-proof hive. The best rem
edy or preventive is to "keep all colo
MES strong, that they may fight their
own battle against the moth, and de-
stroy every moth, larva, or chrysalis
at sight. With the frequent handling
of movable combs, in the very opera
tons incident to the season, worm
in any part of the hive can readily be
detected and disposed of, and there is
little excuse for allowing them to be-
come numerous. A knife OF other
sharp-pointed instrument should be at
hand to administer speedy justice, as
everyone not destroyed soon becomes
a host. Combs taken from hives in
which bees have been wintered, and
later in the season, such spare combs
as the moth may have had access to,
should be examined, and if signs of its
work are seen, the combs should be
placed in q box and subjected to the
fumes of birthstone.
If, from any mishap or carelesness,
a stock becomes so overrun with worms
as to be in danger of destruction, the
bees should be removed and the hive
and contents thoroughly fumigated
with birthstone If any brood should
be worth saving, let it be cut out and
cared for. The combs unfit for any
puspose should be buried or burned.

A quick-wittcd and daring Western
lawyer once saved guilty client from
sure conviction on a charge ofpoisoning.
1t was proved that the poisoning had
been done by means of certain cakes, a
portion of which was produced in court.
When the counsel for the defendant
had finished his speech, he said:
"And these, gentleman of the jury,
are some af the alleged poisoned cakes.
We declare to you, gentlemen of the
jury, that these are not poisoned cakes.
They are as harmless cakes as ever
were made, and in order, gentlemen of
the jury, TO prove that these cakes are
not poisoned, 1 will eat one Of them
right here in your presence"
And he did eat one. lie took good
care, however, TO leave the room at
the earliest opportunity, and to make
Decline for an adjoining room; where
he had an emetic in readiness and an
antidote. But the jury never heard,
about the emetic or the antidote until
the lawyers client had been acquitted,

Cleanliness in Milking.

There are no articles of food or
drink more nauseating when made.fil-
thy by careless handling than milk
and butter. Nor are any other things
oil the farm so susceptible to such in
iuries. No one should ever go to milk
with unclean hands my more than he
should make a call on neighbor in
this condition. Milking should not be
done when it is too dark to see what
you are about or in what condition the
COW is. The animals udder should
always be washed and dried clean,
her sides brushed, and if she has been
standing out in the rain wipe the side
that you milk on, for the milk and
butter will not be improved by the
drippings of the COW. 1t is well to
keep cows in dry and clean sleeping
places. The labor of this can be re-
duced to minimum by having the
plank the right length in the stable.
1t makes a difference, too, whether the
drop is two or as much as four or six
inches at the back end of these planks.
Some dairyman make an eight-inch
drop, but there is some danger of
spraining and lameness.
1t should be kept in mind that no
one can be successful in stock-raising
who does not observe two principles
the keeping of wcll-bred animals
and giving them good keep. This is
the secret of successful stock-raising in
nutshell, and the unsuccessful stock
man may become at least partially sue
cessful if he will but observe these
principles in part, if not in full. A
good horse, COW, steer, sheep or hog
will always pay for raising; but poor
animal will generally be raised at a
loss, no matter how cheaply it may
have been purchased in the first place.
Do not forget this; get rid of all scrubs
as soon as possible and stock up with
well-bred animals of every kind.
Don't let the cows stand out and
feed in the wind and storm too much

Herldetary Ugllness.

A writer tn the Country Gentleman

etary ugliness: 81 once had mare

would soon tire herself in the mud or
when attached to an unusually heavy
load, she was easily startled. Two of
her foals have proved like her, but 9TH
ers have exhibited other bad qualities.
One would run away ifa rabbit jump
ed out of the hedge, another would
kick anything that approached her
from behind and kick until the harness
or the vehicle was broken. 1t is easy
to trace these bad habits to the same
upernervousness that characterized
the dam. This mare would usually

FIRST SUGAR FROM EVA.

Mr.. J. n. S. Williams, manager of
the Union Iron Works, has favored
the BULLETIN with a sample of sugar
from the Eva mill To-day the con
tractors for the plant complete the
practical test of the mill. 1t has
been a successful one and the Union
Iron Works are to be congratulated
on the great achievement. Most of
the plant, which is for the diffusion
process, was constructed at the foun-
dry named in Honolulu, giving a
large amount of work to mechanics.
The sugar seems to be frst-class,
having a good grain and sparkle
that rejoices the eye. Where the
vast plantation now exhibits itself in
hundreds of acres of juicy cane, sur
rounding one of the largest and most
complete sugar mills in the world,
was only two years ago an arid des-
ert. Enterprise has titled the land d,
brought water through dozen open
ings from great subterranean depths,
and raised aloft Il structure fitted and
furnished with manufacturing ma
chinery such as glorities modern me-
chanical ingenuity. This was all
begun and in part carried out in the
face of threatened unfavorable chang
es, which have since come TO pass, in
Hawail'S situation in the greatest
nay only-market for her chief pro-
duct and that of this enterprise
sugar. Such pluck on the part OF
local capitalists surely deserves, and
all must hope will receive, its due re-
ward in spite of every gloomy vatici-
nation.

LETTER FROM CAPT. EADlE.

EDITOR BULLETIN
| have no desire to be "kicker,
or to sneer at our late opponents in
the pull on Saturday evening, but |
think that, in justice to the Scottish
team, l ought to make few remarks
in reply to Mr.. Ziegler's statement
in this mornings Advertiser.
The facts of the incident on Satur-
day evening, so far as | am aware,
are these: Mr.. Mccarthy called both
Mr.. Ziegler and myself aside and
said TO us, "Look here, yon fellows
have been pulling for nearly two and
three quarter hours; do you want to
make it draw" Mr.. Ziegler ask
ed, "Who proposed this draw Mr..
Mccarthy replied, II did" Mr..
ZiegIer then said, Il will see my
men" and | said, without consulting
my team, 81 consent to a Draw"
We both left Mr.. Nee. and went TO
our teams. | told my leading man
what was proposed, Mr.. ZiegIer on
his part speaking separately to each
of his men. | asked my leader if it
was worth pulling any longer. He
replied, "No, it is not" | then
said to him, "Well, stop pulling"
and Immediately on his ceasing to
put his full weight on the rope the
Germans pulled the Scottish over the
mark. | wish to point out that when
Mr.. Mccarthy called the two cap
tains aside, the rope was almost 2
feet inches in favor of the Scotch,
that when | returned and spoke to my
leading men, the Germans had gain
ed about inches or 50, still leaving
over a foot in favor of the Scottish
team or, in other words, until told
my leader to cease pulling, the Scot
fish were still foot or more ahead.
The whole affair, from the. time Mr..
Mccarthy first spoke until the finale
was reached, did not occupy over
two minutes at the most and not 10
minutes as Mr.. ZiegIer states. At
the moment when [ told my leader
to stop, | considered that sufficient
evidence had been given by both
sides of their pulling qualities and
endurance, and that TO prolong the
contest was to make the trial of
strength degenerate into brutal
affair. AS regards the "tired feel
ing" spoken of in the Advertiser, |
am willing to acknowledge that, after
Juggling at the rope for 2 hours 80
minutes, my team were rather tired,
and | have no doubt that our sturdy
opponents were equally so. Thank
ing you for the space.

A FATAL FIGHT.
Henry Williams Comes TO His Beaih
from IA street ScuiHe.

Henry Williams, haIfwhite
driver in the employ OF Sanders
Express, came to an untimely death
last night. At 5 O'Clock he was
quarrellng on Queen street with
another driver named Ferreira, brother
of Frank "the runaway catcher"
and words led to blows. Williams
struck at Ferreira and challenged
him to fight, when Ferreira hit him
first under the chm and then on the
breast. The second blow knocked
Williams violently to the earth, his
head striking stone. The fallen
man lay motionless and turned up
his ewes.
"You have killed that man." said
M. Kennedy of the Honolulu Iron
Works office, who was passing on his
way home.
The striker and some comrades
became alarmed and picking up the
unconscious man carried him into
Mr.. Morgans auction room. DR..
Mckibbin was sent for, and after
restorative treatment Williams, who
had recovered consciousness, was
sent to his home on kinau street.
On reaching the house he was
helped, walking with a stagger,
inside. He said to his wife:
aloha oe; make ana wau"
glove to you; | am going to die).
Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. r. n.
Boyd, his sisters, were sent for. DR..
Henri McGrew was also summoned
and found Williams conscious and
able to talk. After some attention
10 the patient the doctor left, saying
he would be all right in the morning.
The sisters went home but when
they returned later their brother was
dead, he having died between 1880
and 7:45 O'Clock.
Before Williams died he told the
story of his fatal quarrel, candidly
admitting his own part in promoting
it. Ferreira called to see him and
he said, CHATS the man | had a
fight WITH" adding that he drove
express No. 80 and was brother of
Frank Ferreira. The dead man
leaves a widow and six young chill
dren. His age was 81 years.
Deputy Marshal Mehrten and
Capt. Nahoolewa, after visiting the
house of mourning, proceeded to the
house of Mr.. Ferreira and, at mid
night, arrested his son Joe, who
had the fight with Williams. This
morning the Deputy Marshal en-
paneled jury and began an inquest
On the dead man, which was adj
iourned to await the report of post
mortem examination.
