PROTECTING the Pacific

At last the necessity of an ado.
quate naval force in the Pacific has
been recognized by the authorities.
There is to be decided change in
the policy of the Navy Department
In regard to stations in those
waters. Several old wooden vessels
which have been on the verge of
condemnation for several months
are to be overhauled and repaired
for further service. These are the
Nipsic, of Samoan fame, the Adams
and the Ranger. Repairs upon
them are to be begun at once at the
Mare Island Navy Yard, near Val
lejo. When these three vessels are
put In commission, which will not
be for some time yet, as the repairs
needed are extensive, the force in
the Pacific will comprise eleven
vessels, as follows: The San Fran
cisco, just ordered north from VAL
paraiso; the Baltimore, now on her
way to Valparaiso from Peru; the
Iroquois at Samoa; the Pensacola,
now en- route to Honolulu; the
Yorktown, shortly to sail from this
coast to San Francisco; the Thetis
and Mohican, which are expected
from Behring Sea, and Nipsic, |
Adams and Ranger, repair1ng.-Ex.

JUDICIAL DECISION,

decision was filed yesterday by the
Chief Justice in the case OF G. w. Mac
farlane vs. the Waikapu Sugar Co., being
a bill in equity praying for leave to de-
tend in the suit of the Hawaiian Com
mercial Sugar Co. VS.. Waikapu Sugar Co.
The Court finds that the right of stock
holders to sue or defend suit in cases
where the interests OF the corporation
are involved and the corporation refuses
to sue or to defend, is well established,
and the Court accordingly decides that
the orator, g. w. Macfarlane, may de.
fend the suit Hawaiian Commercial
Sugar Co. vs.. Waikapu Sugar Co., at his
own expense and in his own name. The
learned Judge thinks that a separate
petltlon In this case was unnecessary
and that plaintiff might have appeared
in the original suit and moved that he
be allowed to defend. The petition is,
therefore, treated as a motion in that
suit, and the decision is filed as given in
the principal as Well as in the ancillary
suit.
In the suit G. w. Macfarlane VS.. Wal
kapu Sugar Co., Claus Spreckels ap-
peared by his attorney, and moved that
he be allowed, as stakeholder, to de-
fend the above suit The Court finds
that his equity is not the same as that of
the plaintiffs, and that to allow this mo-
ton would be virtually to permit the
same party to bring a suit and then de-
fend it. The motion is accordingly
denied.
By agreement of counsel, no appeals
were filed on either side in the case of |
q. w. Macfarlane vs.. the Waikapu |
Sugar Co., and decree has been signed |
and filed. The main action, Hawaiian |
Commercial VS.. Waikapu Sugar Co.,
may now he expected to go on and be |
decided OF its merits.

introduced anl babe the associa-
ton a cordial welcome to the halls
of the University.
Ordinarily, he said, he stood on
that platform as a teacher, but TO-
day he stood there as a learner

authority was not behind him, it
was before him-the authoritative
teachers of science-that culture |
which to-day holds in it's hands |
the master keys of civilization.
Civilization was the complex of |
four great forces, Hebrew religion
and ethics, of which the Christian
religion and ethics are but the pro-

greatest of all-modern science"

The New Gas

Messrs. Paul aud Parker have re-
ceived Il gas cook stove and heating

territory. Each has been placed in
proper position and connected for
testing the efficiency of the "Parker
process gas in culinary aud heating
uses.
On Tuesday careful comparative
tests were made of the heating power
Of the "Parker process and coal gas.
each being subjected to precisely the
same conditions and treatment. 1t
WAS found that to effect II given result
four and one half cubic feet of
coal gas were required, while of the
"Parker process only three and three
tenths cubit feet were required. This
indicates a comparative experimenting
power Of the Parker process oyer the
coal product OF nearly 3d. per ceM.-an
element of superior value of great i'm
portance in all cases where gas is used
Tor Hedllhg purposes.
These tests comprised five separate
trials each, due AID equally careful re-
gard being paid to time, temperature
weight and measurement. They were
conducted just as is usual in everyday
custom where natural gas is used for
domestic purposes.
Wednesday the JOURNAL saw a beef
steak quickly and completely broiled
directly under and in contact with the
new gas. FIVE persons who knew
nothing Of how or where it was broiled
ate portions without discovering any
foreign taste whatever, Il test proving
the absolute purity of the gas.
Thursday Mr.. Paul sent the JOUR
NALa lot OF biscuit, baked in the new
gas range by the same process. Eo
cook i'll town could haye secured better
results. The bread was perfectly
baked and Drowned to that glorious
tint which makes an epicure's mouth
water.
The CRATE display exhibits the gas
as Il heater. the carbonized briGl,
showing, when not in use, the crate
filed with black coal and ready for
lighting. and. when in use, the CRATE
filled with live, red, hot Goals of fire,
d abusing warmth of more force tnaa a
coal fire of the same dimensions.
The JOURNAL also saw two small
jets tnrned upon q lot of plate glass
fragments. all of which were II q very
short time melted and fused bv the
heat.
only one question remains to be an
swcred-can This gas be produced in
sufficient quantity, instance, to light
and heat towns and cities?
From calculations the JOURNAL has
seen there appears 10 be us little doubt
concerning this vital desiieratum as OF
any other claim for this gas that has
been set up and established. The
plant now eXemplifying the results
above detailed is easily capable Of
making at least 100, 900 cubic feet
every n hours, or % cubic feet for
every man, woman and child in Frost
burg-an amount much in excess OF
individual needs for all purposes.

he be dismissed.
The baiIiGff reiterated the unpleasant
nature of the duty devolved upon him
to make the disclosure, but he felt he
could not escape II.
Mr.. Lammert regretted that Hamil-
ton had been so indiscreet and ex-
pressed the wish that Council would
request his resignation in lieu of
summary dismissal.
Doub-I do not know whether prece-
dent obtains consideration here, but |
recall that once before the majority of
this Council decided that charges
against its officers should not be recog-
nized unless in writing and sworn to,
and that when the officers were present

sence of the offending policeman, and
his consequent inability To defend
himself, | ask whether this is the
proper procedure.
Mr.. Michael thought the policeman
had been inviting dismissal. He knew
II great deal more of the officers con-
duet than he cared to tell at this time.
Mr. DeWitt's motion to dismiss was
then submitted and adopted.
