IT SEEMS hardly necessary to repeat
what was said a short time ago in this
paper, that there has been no desire ex-
pressed on the part of Hawaiian papers
for annexation to the United States, as
has been published in our foreign ex-
changes. At the same time, two of the
native papers, Ka Leo and Elele, have
advocated the election by popular vote
OF all officers of the Government, includ-
ing Ministers, Judges and all other
officers, which change would eventually
result in republican form of govern
ment. Many think that the time has
not arrived to inaugurate such radical
changes as these named, and believe
that for the present, at least, mon
archical form will insure greater stability
in the government, and greater respect
from other nations.

WHALBACKED CARGO VESSELS.

A new factor in the ocean-carrying
trade of the world is rapidly coming to
the front and is attracting no little atten-
ton amongst those most interested,
among whom may be included all the
great producers and shippers of the
world.
The new model called the "whale-
back" is no longer merely the whale
back barge for canals or possibly for
coasting, but has now reached the full
dignity Of the steel steamer of 1,075 tons
measurement and 5000 tons actual
cargo capacity, capable of carrying any
cargo from or to any port in the world.
We mentioned some time ago the fact
that one of these steamers had loaded in
Duluth and discharged at Liverpool, and
We are able now to give some particulars
as to what has been already done and
what is expected in very short time
from this class of vessel.
The Wetmore, the first of these whale
backs to cross the ocean, is 265 feet in
length over all, SO feet in depth, and "a
feet depth of hold and with 5000 tons of
cargo draws only II feet of water. The
hull is built of steel plates with internal
overlapping butt straps.
In the fore part of the ship is steel
turret which serves as companion way
to the mems quarters. At the after
part are three steel turrets connected by
an iron sheathed deck, one protecting
the funnel, one the engine room hatch
way, and the third the companion way
to the cabin and engine room. A safe
gangway between the fore and the after
turrets is secured by fence on either
hand Of strong wire. The Wetmore is
fitted with four light masts which carry
four trysails and jib. With a cellular
double bottom she can carry 800 tons of
water ballast. There are nine steel
matches bolted down to the deck and
made tight by india rubber groove pack
ing. The engines are of the compound
surface condensing type with inverted
cylinder, working at pressure of 125
pounds to the square inch, and driving
9 single three-bladed screw.
The Wetmore reached Liverpool in Al
days, with $4,000 bushels of wheat on
board from thence she ran in ballast TO
New York in IA days. burning only II
tons per diem. She is next to go on to
Philadelphia, where she will take on a
cargo of machinery similar to her own,
with which she will proceed by the
Straits of Magellan to Tacoma, where
shipbuilding yard is TO be established
and q feet of "whalebacks" built for SER
vice in the Pacific.
1t should be borne in mind that this
ocean voyage has involved every sort of
navigation, that is to say, she has crossed
lakes, threaded canals and locks, des-
csnded the st. Lawrence, run the Lac

The Peninsula of
Pearl City Z!

This truly enchanting location for sub
urban homes must be seen to be appre-
ciated; a lovely grove of algeroba trees
covers the entire grounds, streets 80 feet
IN width are laid out, and 6-inch pipes
are being laid to conduct water from a
1O-inch artesian we'll which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
the sweetest water of all the wells they
have bored on this island. The Railway
20. have constructed two reservoirs with
storage capacity OF over two million
gallons, and built fume extending 80
miles into Waiawa Valley, which in
years OF ordinary rainfall will supply an
abundance of pure water for a large
population; to guard against such
droughts as we have experienced during
the present year, the Company have or
dered Blake Pump with capacity of
45O,0OO gallons per day, which will be
replaced by one or more of larger capa-
city when needed. This pump now due
from the manufacturers will be placed at
once at the artesian we'll from which
water will be forced into the reservoirs,
when not supplied from the mountains.
A block containing an area OF five
acres has been reserved for Hotel, and
another beautiful lot of the same area is
also reserved for a Public Park, which
the Company propose to make one of the
most delightful and attractive resorts to
be found anywhere.
This place has all the charms of Wal
kiki, with the addition of an inland sea
seven miles long and four miles wide.

Pearl City is situated about halfway
between the extreme eastern and west

may think to be the great commercial
emporium of the Pacific. The Pearl

tends down the centre of the Peninsula
within say 1000 feet of the shore on
either side.

We are informed, says the Progress,
that j. Curtis has sold lot Of budded
orange trees to go from Palermo to the
Hawaiian Islands. This shipment it is
claimed is the first shipment of budded
trees into the Islands, where it is said
only seedlings are to De found. The
trees sell there for $3.50 each, and it is
hoped this may be an incentive to cause
a more general planting OF the budded
varieties. The trees to be sent are OF
the Washington Navel and Maltese
Blood arieties.-[Oroville New Era.
George Cummins, OF Honolulu,
dropped on East street, near Market,
this morning, and a policeman ran to
him thinking that he was dead, but he
groaned and breathed hard, hence the
police wagon was called and he
was conveyed to the Receiving Hospital,
where q careful examination made by
the staff of that institution showed that
he was only suffering from alcohol. In
his pockets were FOUND NEARLY 81 600,
which sum he started out with. It did
not take all that sum, however, to get
him drunk-[S. i. Post.
The latest is that the people OF the
Sandwich Islands want to come under
the protecting wings OF the American
eagle. There is plenty of room for them,
and no doubt their wishes viii be graft
fed when the time comes for such
change in the government OF the Islands.
Washington Vidette.
At the present time the numbers Of
Chinese and Japanese in Hawaii are
about equal, but this condition will not
remain long as the Chinese are rapidly
going away and the Japanese are rapidly
coming in, SO that when the next census
is taken the Japanese will probably far
their Chinese competitors.
The showing made by the census is not
a very encouraging one for those who ex-
pect the islands to be something more
than the habitation of big planters and
their Asiatic Workmen. Some Of the
patriots of Hawaii have recognized this
fact and are now trying to induce Ameri-
CAN anu European COlOuIStS 10 10 take up
homesteads and cultivate fruit, and as
the sugar planters cannot expect such
big profits hereafter as they have made
in the past, it is probable that the big
estates may be gradually subdivided. Ii
this should be done so thatthe American
and European immigrants of moderate
means could find chance to make homes
and grow fruit in the islands there seems
to be no reason to doubt that new sys-
tenn OF cultivation would come in that
would redeem Hawaii from the Asiatics
and raise it to higher prosperity than
it has ever known before.-[San Jose

FOREIGN COMMENTS ON
HA WAIIAN AFFAIRS.

(From Clements News Agency, s. F.)
The Hawaiian census discloses a
seductive pot-pouri of nationalities. Ha-
waiians, Chinese, japanese, Portuguese,
Americans, English, Germans and half
castles are all simmering in the pot to-
gether. They have not been over the
fire long enough yet to enable us to tell
just what the stew will taste like when
it is done.-[S. T. News Letter.
Why don't the "superfuous" women
of the United States try the Hawaiian
Islands? According to the census taken
last December there are only about two
women to three men in the Islands, and
it would take about thirty thousand
women to make the sexes even. Here
is an opportunity that should not be
neglected. The climate of the Islands
is said to be as nearly like that of Para
disc as possible, and there is everything
to make life agreeable.-[San Jose
Herald.

Open Violation of Law.

Mr.. EDITOR: Common rumor has it
that two saloons IN this city are in full
blast on Sundays, and with the knowl-
edge of the authorities at that. It is
very unfair to those who endeavor to
keep the law that such a practice is al
lowed, nay, winked at, by those in au-
thority, and should be stopped.

a week or two ago and sports
| men must have learned,
through reading this column,
that we had what they wanted;
too many of them read it, for
we soon sold all the I2-guage
cartridges we had in stock.
We had more customers than
cartridges, and lots of them
had to go elsewhere or do
without. Now we have stacks
Of the guage you want. Ducks
| are in season, fat as butter,
and plenty Of them; but you
can't get 'em without ammunl-
ton. We can fill you up.
Revolvers arrived a little
late to be used on any partic-
ular burglar, but there may be
| another one somewhere. We
received some Of these little
protectors by the Irwin, which
quite surprise us in getup and
price. Double action ham,
merless, and the ordinary dou
bic action with hammer are SO
ridiculously low in price that
there is no reason why any
| one should be without one.
We have them in nickel and
blue barrels-from the vest
pocket size to those that would
fit boot.
We have a new stock of
shot guns and rifles too, regu-
lar dandies, if you want to
use them on ducks, wild cattle
or hogs, The new style re-
peaters, said to be the very
best thing ever made for
shooting wild hogs. Another

you're bothered much with
minah birds this is the very
thing you want. You can sit
in your window and knock EN-
over every pop, and parties in
the next room will not hear
the report.
A soft leather gun cover is
what every sportsman needs,
and if you are hunting over
wet ground, a rubber stock
cover will be a great protec-
ton to your gun stock. We
have both.
Do you ever complain about
having to make a fire to heat
little water-for tea or any
other purpose ? Why don't
you get an oil stove then, and
save lots of trouble and ex-
pense. 1t costs less to heat
water on an oil stove than it
does with wood Or coal, and
they are about as convenient
a thing to have about the
house as anything you could
possibly have. Nearly every
one is supplied, but we always
have a demand for them. We
have them in one, two, three
or four wicks big enough to
cook a meal with.
