War on Raiefea Island.

The brig Tahiti arrived at San
Francisco, February Goth, from Ia
hiti and the Marquesas, with news OF
another outbreak on the Island OF
Raietea, one of the Windward group
Captain W. H. Ferguson stated that
the French are making most des-
perate effort to assert their authority
but with little success. Three men of
war-the Champlain, Veire and Vol
age-had been engaged in shelling
the Raietea villages for month be
fore the Tahiti sailed, but with no
further effect than to kill few ma
tives, destroy their property and
make the others more determined
and vicious than ever.
1t is the old story of the natives
declining to submit to French Gov
eminent. They are willing to admit
the protectorate and all the privil-
eyes pertaining thereto, with the one
exception of local government This
the Raletea natives reserve to them
selves, and their young Queen, the
sister of the King of the group, has
persistently refused to sign the pro-
tectorage papers until the govern
ment clause is eliminated.
The natives of the entire group
are in more than half sympathy with
the Raleteans, and in warning on
them unaided the French sailors and
marines are having as hard time of
it as the Germans did when they IN
dertook to follow the Samoans into
the bush.

POPULAR INSTITUTIONS.

Honolulu is justly proud of the
many various institutions that -four
ish in her midst; be they for educa-
tional purposes, for physical devel-
opment, for amusements and recrea-
tons, or for whatever purposes they
are organized; all are popular for
their own special advantages. An
institution differing somewhat from
the above, but none the less popular;
one offering greater advantages to
its many members; one that is not
confined to the city limits. but which
spreads all over the islands; an in
stitution that, as soon as its doors
were opened, was besieged by multi
tudes anxious to join; and which is
daily growing more popular with all
classes, is the III. F. WICHMAN WATCH
CLUB. The unbounded success of
these clubs in the few months since
they sprang into existence, has as
tonished even the skeptical into the
belief that there was something
worth joining after all. Just the
putting away of a small part of
your spare cash, brings you, in
few short months, something worth
having and having joined for. An
other thing not generally known by
the uninitiated, is the fact that if
you already possess good watch,
you are at liberty to select anything
desired of the same value. Is there
anything offering greater advan-
tages than the 81. F. WIcHMAN
WATCH CLUB? d&w

A Shark Caueht at Waianae.

While the steamer @. r. Bishop
was at Waianae last Friday, a large
shark was seen near the vessel.
Purser Ross got his rifle and sent a
ball into the monsters body. The
shark sank, and one of the crew
went overheard for the purpose of
fastening a rope around the body,
and hauling it aboard. The native
performed his task, and the monster
was finally got on board, but not
without making desperate strug
gle for its liberty. The bullet had
only wounded it. The shark meas
ured eight feet in length.

The Opera Season.

There was large demand yester-
day at Mr.. Levey's Office for seats for
the opera performance Saturday
evening, and as a consequence there
will be a full house. A few seats
remain unsold. The company
had a rehearsal yesterday, and
astonished several musical ears. 1t
is without doubt the finest opera
company that has visited these
shores, and deserves the most liberal
patronage. I, Trovatore is a beau
tiful opera, and on this occasion it
will have an excellent representation.
