The store of II. r. Freitas in
Kaiopihi was discovered to be on
fire on the night of June Oath, and
the fire was extinguished before any
serious damage was done.
An examination of the premises
disclosed an unopened tin of kero-
sene under the house, surrounded
with straw from the stables, and the
floor as we'll as some of the goods
had also been sprinkled with the oil.
It is said that the evidence
brought before the jury at the in
quest, pointed to either one of two
of the employees about the store;
also, that the concern has been Or
will be closed out.
Mr.. T. II. Wright is closing out
his store in Halawa at cost prices,
and it is said that other stores in the

at the same end.
The Tax Assessor is putting up an

With the valuation of all property

Chinese Gambling.

Mr.. EDITOR: Chinese pakapio
is booming in Chinatown, and the
"goose hangs high" Once day
and at night these gambling holes
are crowded, at 2:30 P. N. and
again at $3.50 P. N. There has been
no worse time than this. Two
men Of one of the pakapio COM
panies were arrested about 8
O'Clock last night, but they got
clear this morning, so that the
Government Of Hawaii is abandon
ing the Police Station to the gam
bling crowd. / hope men Of infu-
ence in this Kingdom Will wake up
to inquire how TO stop them, and if
this can't be done, then bring them
under some system of license to
the Government and not to the
heads of the police. They are get
ting to be too many Of them in
town. There were only two or
three companies before, but now it
is said there are six pakapio COM
panies doing q big business.

Mr.. EDITOR: Charles a. Bunt
ing In the Independent says: al
do not believe in high license as a
remedy for the drinking evil. Be
cause we cannot Danish all the rum
shops at once, for the reason that
officers fail to perform their ade-
quate duty, will we say, we will
sanction CRIME by having men pay
a large amount Of money, sc that
they, by law. shall be permitted to
commit crime? Some say the high
license system is better than
nothine-a half a loaf is better
than no bread. These people are
honest in their deiusion, but hon
esty of purpose does not change
the inherent character of their act
and its consequences. Why license
at all? Ii it be right to sell rum,
then let men sell it as they do any
other article of mel chandise. Far
better that we should have free
rum rather than, by vote license
crime. w. G. T. u.

Horner's Banking Biu-NO. IS.

Horuer's Banking BiI-NO. rs.
Mr.. EDITOR. If this bill becomes
law, it will be the fault of the peo-
ple not the Government if they
have too much or too little money
in circulation, as this bill leaves it
to them to decide in their regular
order of business. If they don't
have enough they can take their
real estate and bonds to the bank
and get more, or change their cir
tifcates into money.
If they have too much they can
take it back and get certificate vf
deposit drawing an interest the
same as depositing is now done at
our present bank, or if the bor-
rover takes it back he can redeem
his property.
This certificate of deposit or
interchangeable bond" would give
the currency of the country all
the elasticity that trade and pro-
duction could possibly require.
This would settle the elasticity
and the quantity of the currency
for all time, it being governed by
the legitimate wants of trade.
We think the quality of the cur
rency can't be disputed, as not one
dollar, whether it be gold, silver
or paper, could get into circulation
without being full tender and
secured by the most durable kind
of property for its final redemption.
And the bank being always ready
to take back all of its currency at
The Hawaiian gazette., 1891-07-14

its face value renders it impossible
to be deprecated by all the gold
syndicates that may conspire
against it.
Thus it may be seen that this
bill provides amply for the
kind of currency recommend
ed by Secretary Window. That
is, it is "sound in quality,
adequate in quantity and elastic of
volume"
This money system ellis the
bill"
Reader, if you have different
views, a criticism from your pen
would be thankfully received.
What shall we say more? The
world demands a gold standard of
value.
This system is arranged to q
United States gold coin standard,
and every transaction under it is
regulated to that standard, every
dollar of its money measures auth
orized to be issued or coined under
this bill, every certificate of de-
post, every mortgage and bond
given to secure this currency, is
rated, measured and valued by this
gold standard.

Off for Kauai.

Her Majesty the Queen left on
Tuesday afternoon by the steamer
Mikahala on a royal visit to her peo-
pie on Kauai. Her Majesty, attend
ed by His Highness Prince Kalani-
naole, and Major j. W. Robertson,
H. Ms Chamberlain, was driven to
the steamer in the royal carriage.
The young prince besides large
number of retainers accompanied the
Queen on this trip. As the steamer
moved away from the wharf amid
the cheers of the people, the royal
standard floating in the breeze from
the main topmast, royal salute of
twenty-one guns was fired in her
honor from the Kakaako battery.
The schooner Robert Levers, which
was lying near by, made grand
display in honor OF the royal depart

school life. Taken on the whole the
co-education in the Royal School at
that time proved to have good results.
She thought there was nothing
Ike making a trial; that if the
teachers would instill in the minds
of the boys and girls what is proper,
the results could not be otherwise
than beneficial.
Prof. Oleson thought co-education
the proper thing. He spoke of the
objections to the method; thought
we should go slow in making the ex-
pertinent, SO as to watch closely and
not fail. He thought there should
be principal for each, for the boys
and girls; no one person can be sue
cessful. He thought the school
would prove successful if tried with
a limited number.
Rev. Gulick, of Maui, took excep-
ton to this. He referred to General
Armstrong; work at Hampton. He
thought schools could be conducted
more cheaply by co-education. He
took the one objection against the
system-evil-as the strongest argu-
ment in its favor.
DR.. j. K. Smith of Kauai, spoke
at length, mostly describing and
telling what has already been done
and what is needed to push the work.
Miss Kenwill spoke of her expert
ence in the work and of her faith in
the successful issue of the co educa-
ton of Hawaiians.
A general discussion followed till
rather a late hour.

The New DredSer.

Mr. Dyer, agent of the Risdon
Iron Works, informs US that the
machinery for the big dredger is
well under way and expects it to
arrive in Honolulu about the middle
of September. Over 100000 feet Of
timber for the hull will be shipped
about the 18th Of this month by
Messrs. Allen & Robinson per bark
entine Amelia, and work will be
commenced Immediately on its arri-
val. It is the intention Of the
builders to have the dredger in
operation on the bar not later than
the middle Of November. The
Risdon Works have several other
very large contracts on hand con-
sisting of two sets of triple expan-
sion CorIiss engines of 500 horse
power each for the San Francisco
and San Mateo Electric Road, a pair
of $50 orsepower Corliss engines
for the Mills Building, San Fran
cisco. The two sets of compound
pumping engines for the Spring
Valley Works are about completed,
and some idea of the size of these
pumps may be gathered from the
fact that each plant has seven times
the power of the pump at Eva plan
tation, each fywheel alone weighing
twenty five tons.

Probable Murder.

An insane South Sea Islander who
has been confined at the Asylum,
nearly killed Kaulua, the chief guard
at the Asylum. The guard had the
Islander and another inmate remov-
ing some barrels of poi in the poi
house Wednesday morning. The first
mentioned was reproved for careless
ness in handling the barrels. So in
going out the guard was struck two
blows, one on top of the head, the
other on the side of the face, the
weapon used being an old axe. The
wounded man was taken to the Hos
pital, and the assailant locked up
where he could do no further harm.

LONDON, Feb. 2T.-Quite 4 sensation
was caused by the report of a quarrel be-
tween the queen and the Prince of Wales,
at Portsmouth, yesterday. 1t seems the
prince heard. through the foreign office,
alarming accounts of the position of ex-
Empress Frederick in Paris. He decided
to 40 and bring her away and wired his
sister to leave Immediately if she could
not wat tor him. He also telegraphed
the queen. When be Joined the queen at
Portsmouth her majesty was greatly ex-
cited and was heard to say to him: What
do You say? Turn my daughter out Of
Paris?" The prince replied in a low tone,
but the queen was visiblv enraged, and
repeated that it was impossible that any
insult could be offered her daughter in
Paris She blamed the prince for his in
judicious course aud threatened 10 coun-
termand his telegram. He protested ear
nestly, and finally. the queen giving in,
sent another cipher telegram to ex Em-
press Frederick. expressing his own and
the queens wishes.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The true story of
the facts which led up to the arrest of
Frank p. Slavin and Charles Mitchell
forms a curious pugilistic episode. The
summons was secured by the proprietor OF
the Arcadia club, not the Cover street
club, as has been enormously cabled, to
which house the men with a party OF
friends adjourned after they had been to
the theater Monday evening. The two
pugilits have for some time past been
great friends. IN spite of the fact that
Charley" Mitchell had been free in
declaring that he could easily best Slavin.
In time the latter Joined in the dis
c%ussion, which became. as is invariably
the case under such circumstances, heated,
and Mitchell repeated his boast that
Slavin could not knock him out. Slavin
at first treated the matter in a %josular
spirit, but in the end he lost his
tenn per and pushed Mitchell away with
some degree OF temper, This seemed to
rouse the blood of Mitchell, who made a
rush at SlavIn but failed to hit him.
Slavin replied with a hard one on his as
~sailant's neck which hoored him. Mitch
ell rose and reached for a bottle to strike
Slavin, but again the latter was too quick
and a second time Sullivan's former OPP
ponent was A1ored. A general melee
then ensued, Mitchell using chairs and
smashing tables in his effort to do up
Slavin. who practically mopped up the
floor with the boaster, and finally threw
him out the font door, where he was
hustled into a cab By his friends and
driven home. He is now confined to his
bed on account of his injuries, where he
will have an opportunity of moralizIng on
the ways of the gents who talk big, and
console himself as well as he can by the
thought that Slsvin is unhurt. The ac-
ton BY the club is brought to recover
damages for the injuries sustained by the
