TRUNK TRUST.

Chicago, May 9.-The trunk, valise
and handbag manufacturers of the
United States have been working for
some time to form trust, and now
1t is announced that they have finally
succeeded. A big meeting will be
held here tomorrow, at which the
remaining details will be arranged.
The properties of the various con-
Germs are to be transferred to cor
poration, whose capital stock will be
placed at Sc, 1000, 900, which is to be
pro-rated at the meeting tomorrow.
Eastern concerns, it is said, have
taken leading part in forming the
combine, which includes all the
trunk, valise and handbag houses of
that section and all in the South and
West except one in Chicago and one
in Racine, which the trust will en-
deavor to cocrce or drive to the wall.
A large army of men will be de-
prived of employment. Fully 1000
commercial travellers will be turned
loose, only one being retained by
each concern, and thousands of other
employees in various branches of the
business, including bookkeepers,
managers, journeymen and boys, will
find them selves at liberty. The trust
includes all the goods usually kept in
Il trunk store, from trunks to shawl
straps and some lines of fancy leather
goods. Next Monday, May 10th, is
the day set for the trust to begin
operations. simultaneously with the
discharge of employees and the con-
sequent reduction of expenses will
come an advance of prices on all
goods produced by the combine.

A LATE DOuBT.
EDITOR BULLETIN -

EDITOR BULLETIN:--
The Advertiser parades with great
gusto in its editorial column the de-
cision of Mr.. q. w. Ashford--that
papers dearly beloved friend, cide
the campaign discussions of last cleo
ton to submit the question of the
legality of his election, he being
notary public when elected, to the
Supreme Court through the Cabinet.
If recollection serves correctly Mr.,
Ashford treated the question when
raised in the papers very cavalierly
and seemingly scorned the idea of
having sucn a doubt raised as to the
legality of any of his actions. Why
this change that has come over the
spirit of his dreams!
There is widespread impression
extant that Mr.. Ashford, when he
found his newly-adopted party in
minority at the close of the polls,
would like to get out of 1t and retire
to his professional desk. The time
with its circumstances chosen for his
doing what the Advertiser calls 'a
manly and patriotic thing" is
significant if not something else.
Further, the query is heard, as to
how it comes that the official com
municaton of Mr. Ashford to the
Minister of the Interior, meekly sub
mitting the hitherto secuted ques-
tion to judicial examination and re-
port, comes to appear in the Adver-
tiser before it is acted upon. Did
your contemporary receive a copy as
soon as, or before, the Minister re-
ceiyed the original;
Both the time and place of the ap-
pearng of Mr.. Ashlord's submission
have suspicious appearance to

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

EDITOR BULLETN:-
You speak of civil service reform
as one of the needs of our times in
our little kingdom. feel that it is,
as it were, the key to the situation.
Or, to express myself more clearly,
we in Hawaii ne, who desire peace
and prosperity, should by vote and
by the weight of our influence strive
to lift up the public service out of the
mire Of the Jacksonan motto, $50
the victor belongs the spoiIs," and
place our government business on a
true and honest basis.
Let our civil service be conducted
on business principles. This will
save thousands of dollars every
month, and help us not only to tide
over the shoals and quicksands ahead
of US, but when our boom comes, we
will be in a situation TO profit by it.
Much Of the discomfort Of the past
few years and very much of the in
efficiency of officers in government

on the same meridian opposite to
Berlini therefore, If change of laii-
tude occurs here in one direction at
tue same time itSfSuges in Berlin in
the opposite directi6@ the fact that
there is u movement of Jie earth's
axis is completely established. TOr.
Marcuse was selected as the observer
at this point, and arrived here May
8, 1891, the day before the transit of
Mercury. The doctor was not long,
after the erection and equipment of
his observatory, in ascertaining that
the theory of the reversing motion of
the earth axis was correct. With
Prof. Marcuse arrived Prof +. ID
Preston, OF the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey, whom the Am.
erican Government sent, at the in
stance of the Central Bureau of the
GeOdetic Association of Europe, bav-
ing its headquarters under the Ger
man Government at Berlin, to make
Independent observations on the
same problem. as well as to continue
his pendulum Investigations for mea-
suring the force of the earth gravity,
which he had prosecuted on previous
visits here in 1884 and 1887. Prof.
Preston had an observatory built adj
jacent to that Of Prof. Marcuse,
where with different instruments he
has been ever since gathering data
bearing on the same latitude prob
lem.
The routine OF Prof. Marcuse's OBJ
servations is exceedingly interest
ing His zenith telescope is furnished
with spider webs laid on transversely
80 as to mak the finest distance pos
sible in the sky. Training the instru-
ment on the zenith he notes the chro.
nometer time of the transit of stars
across The meridian line. The stars
are taken by pairs-32 stars in
night, requiring l6 observations, the
time occupied being fou, or five hours.
The observatory Is equipped with an
electric light plant, from which dain-
ty little hand lamps are supplied,
enabling the observer to illuminate
any part of his apparatus desired,
and regulate the light in the telescope
according to the brilliancy of the
stars. So accurate is the instrument
on its solid foundation, that Prof.
Marcuse is able from one nights OBJ
servations to determine the latitude
within two feet. This Is remarkable
when it is considered that navieators
are fairly satisfied if they get the lat
itude within 5000 feet.
Prof. Marcuse has nearly completed
his interesting labors here, and ex-
poets to leave for Germany early in
June.

BOAT RACES.
SONY Celebration orGsueen vtctOria's
Hirthdsy

birthday.
The boat races 10 the harbor were
the chief attraction yesterday after
noon. The wharves and shipping
were literally swarming with people
of all nationaltes. The first race
was at 4 :45 o. o'cIock and was between
the ships boats of merchantmen in
port. There was disappointment in
the number of boats entered, as sew
eral OF the captains had backed out
owing to their not being able to get
suitable boats. Boats entered were:
Sonoma, Captain j. Lee, coxswain
Kenmore, Captain b. jenkins, cox
swain; j. c. Potter, Captain Henry
Z. Meyer, coXswain; Louis, Captain
Hatch, coXswain. The start was from
the bow of the L. 5. +. ). san Fran
cisco to and around the spar buoy
and return. AT the crack of the pis-
tol the SOnoma and Kenmore took
the lead. Reaching the lighthouse
the Sonoma broke away from her ri
walls and maintained the advantage to
the finish. Going out Captain Jen-
kins stood erect and urged his men
with such remarks as "Give it to
her!" and "Lay back on it," But
it was no go, as Captain Jack Lee
had the crew and tile boat too, and
crossed the bow of the San Francisco
eight lengths ahead of the Kenmore,
the Potter next aud the Louis, with
u scrub crew, last. The excitement
during the race was intense, and rs
the winner returned to his ship he
received an ovation
The second race was between the
new six-oared gig of the Healaui
Boat CLUB and the Alice NJ. of the
Myrtle Boat Club. The Healani
boat was launched at five o'clock,
the members of the club and Alex.
Lyle, Captain of the Myrtles, being
present. The crew i'll pretty uniforms
stood around while +. Stiles ad-
dressed Carl Widemann, compliment
ing him with the honor of having the
new boat named after him. Miss
Widemann then in few words,
wishing the boat successful in the
days race, named it carl W"
l.. de L. Ward proposed three cheers,
which were given with will. At
the same time the Henley regatta
boat was chrsteHed bella" after
Miss Bella Woods. The Healani
crew pulled over to the can buoy,
followed later by the Myrtles. The
race started at $50 o'clock, the
Healanis taking the lead, pulling 36
stroke. The MyrtIes took it easy
while the Healani crew steadily in
creased its lead. Every time they
spurted they fairly ran away from
the Alice M. The Myrtle crept up
on the Healani near the dredgc. The
Healanis were two boat lengths ahead
at the Spar buoy. The Myrtles took
the lead at the Bell buoy and held it
TO the finish, ten boat lengths ahead.
The judges were Captains Fuller and
j. A. King.

Let it be understood, and laws he
framed to that intent, that the best

there must be majority on the side

SUDDEN AND SAD.
Death of samuel MnhCionn After n
short IiiusHS.


short IiiueHs.
Samuel Maheloua, one of the best
known and esteemed young Hawai-
ians in Honolulu, died at his home
on King street at $3.50 Yesterday
afternoon. As he had been about
town only few days previously, the
report of his death when circulated
was received almost with incredulitv.
The young man so suddenly cut
off was born at Lahaina 81 years
ago, and was educated under Rev.
Alex. Macintosh at the Royal
School. He was exceptionally intel
Iigent and taciIe in acquiring useful
knowledge. He entered the employ
of Messrs. Allen & Robinson ten
years ago, and at death had for some
time been an efficient book keeper
there. AT the late election Mr.. Ma
helOna was elected a member of the
Honolulu Road Board. His business
capacity and stainless integrity made
him valuable member Of that i'm
pOrtant body.
The late Mr. Mahelona was a man
of religious virtue. He was a mem
Der of kawaiahao Church. Married
to Miss Emma Napoleon nine years
ago, his life has been one of pure and
happy domesticity. The death of
such an estimable young man is a
great loss to his race and country
He leaves four children with his
widow, also his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. 5. w. Mahelona. His father
was District Justice for Eva and
Waianae many years, and is the old
est Hawaiian member of the bar.
The cause of death was organic dis
ease of the heart, superinduced by
asthma from which he had suffered
several years.
The funeral will take place at 4
O'Clock tomorrow from Kawaiahao
Church.
