A SuS6eSfiOu.

Mr.. EDITOR: Another trying
time is at hand, in scarcity of
water. If within the next few
days no rain falls to augment our
water supply, the city of Honolulu
will be in very dangerous posi-
ton, in case of fire. We have an
excellent Fire Department, with
apparatus of the best designs and
construction, which could be put
to a good use during a time of
need. l would here make sugges-
ton, that the Chief Engineer call
out his full force during the moon
light nights and practice thor
oughly on a line drill, placing one
engine at the bay, pump from one
engine to the other and see the
effect; change the different engines
round, and see which position
gives the best results. If No. 1
Engine, which has the greatest
capacity, will do best at the bay
keep it there; if best at the end of
the line that is the place for it
but make the trial as soon as pos
sible so that the different compa-
MES when called on in case of fire,
will know their places, and avoid
confusion and loss of property.
HOUSEHOLDER.

We have advertised a great
many things in this column and
invariably called attention to
the usefulness of the article
mentioned; so often has this
been done that many people
who read the ad. look upon
this part of the statements as
mere matter of form made SO
by force of habit. This is not
the case. In most instances
the article is given a fair trial
by one of our employees
a part of whose duties it
is to investigate each of the
advertised merits of an article
and search for undiscovered
virtues. In this way we are
sure our statements will not be
questioned. Very few houses
go to this trouble. We do.

THE anonymous letter to Kane
hameha ", published in the AD-
vERTIsER yesterday, contains SO
much which is timely to-day that
some thought the letter was written
for the occasion. 1t is, however, a
genuine find" and a valuable
one. None has been able to dc
more than guess at the authorship,
but one old resident thinks it may
have been General Miller, who was
the British Consul-General at the
time Of Kamehameha Tvs acces.
sion, as he remembers to have
heard from his lips at that time
sentiments very similar to those
expressed in this letter.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue OF
Tuesday morning, you say that
the Fire Department was ham
pered during the fire at the wash
houses through a scarcity of water.
Your informant must either not
have been there, or he must have
been misinformed. The engines
were taking water from the Nuu-
anu stream and the bay; this
supply could not be exhausted very
soon.
The only fresh water used was
for the boilers of the engines.
Fresh water is scarce-and very
scarce but no fresh water is used
to extinguish fire when salt waite,
can be easily got at.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN G. WHITE,
Supt. Honolulu Waterworks

Fashions for ladies usually
strike the islands about a fort
night after they are comforta-
bly, settledin San Francisco, but
the latest the very latest must
have been carried through to
Australia. 1t is to be hoped
the innovation will remain
there. Fancy walking out
with your very best girl and
having to hustle around for a
single nail when her "gal.

the embarrassing position fol-
a young lady to have to excuse
herself from her newest fellow
to go and make repairs to hel
embroidered suspenders. The
fashion should "die a bornin'.

SOMEONE has been victimizing
the Evening Bulletin. That paper
states that Robert Parker has in
terviewed the ADVERTISER reporter,
who stated to him that he had not
heard from any member of the
force that his signature was not
voluntary" etc. This statement
is pure fiction, as the ADVERTISER
reporter has not had the pleasure
of being interviewed by Captain
Parker up to date.

The barkentine Wilder F."
brought us many new goods,
but nothing more useful than
the Clothes Wringers. There
is probably not a house in
Honolulu where certain pieces
of the weekly wash are not
attended to. Next to one of
our new Charcoal Irons with
fluting attachments, there
is nothing more general
ly needed than a wringer.
These we mention are the
very latest design. The Char
coal Iron of which we have
only a few is made of the best
quality of metal, nickel plated
on the bottom and gilded on
sides and top. Just under the
handle is the fluter which is
readily removed and attached
to the side of the ircn. One
heating of the iron is sufficient
for an hours huting. By
using a huter made on such a
simple plan as this, there is
less liability of injury to the
apparel.

We call your attention to an
enormous paper bag hanging
just inside our doorway. From
its size you might suppose it
was intended for a young
lady's wardrobe; it won't
answer that purpose but it will
hold a ball dress and have
room to spare. The bag is
morh-proof and is entirely free
from the unpleasant odors
which usually pervade clothing
kept in campholene, etc.
You'll find them convenient
and cheap.

THE SITUATION.

Another day has passed without
witnessing the formation of any
Cabinet. Yesterday morning a
committee waited upon Her Ma
iesty and presented her with a
copy of the resolution passed by
a legislative caucus the day
previous. The full text of this
resolution, which was briefly COM
mented upon in yesterdays ADvER-
TIsER, will be found in this morn
ing's issue.
If the fact be considered that
this highly important resolution
was only submitted to the Queen
yesterday, it will not seem an I'M
warrantable stretch of the public
patience even if no Cabinet is COM
missioned before tomorrow. Be-
yond that date certainly the delay
should not extend without urgent
reasons, and a further postpone
ment would present proper theme
for legislative inquiry. Further
comment on the principle laid
down in the resolution is hardly
necessary. 1t will at once be recog-
nized by all having any knowledge
of parliamentary government. The
opportunity has now arisen to
clarity and perfect the working OF
Hawaiian institutions by definitely
incorporating it in the body of our
unwritten law. It is indeed already
virtually a part of that law, but
has never been expressly recog-
nized, and the course Of the caucus,
in clearly enunciatingi it, represents
a great advance. In order, how
ever, to make that advance secure
it will be necessary for the Legis-
lature to insist firmly upon it,
by promptly voting out of
Office any and every Cabinet
not formed upon this principle.
The majority of the Legislature
have solemnly committed them
selves to this position, and they
cannot retreat from it without igno-
miny and humiliation. 1t is to be
hoped they will adhere to it firmly
and calmly, recognizing the rights
of all other branches of the Gov
eminent while jealousy guarding
their own.
The situation is Enthusiastically
a critical one. Everyone knows
it would be folly to ignore,-that
the elements of a constitutional
conflict are present. The words
attributed by the Bulletin to Her
Majesty in regard to the retention
of C. B. Wilson in office amount to
deliberate defiance of the Legis-
lature. 1t is greatly to be feared
that the Sovereign is listening to
bad advice. In this emergency,
the hopes of the country are GEN.
tered in the Legislature, and every.
thing depends on its courage and
fidelity. We do not give up the
hope that Her Majesty will refuse
to listen to the insidious counsels Of
certain evil advisers, and give the
country peace by conforming to its
laws. Such a course alone car
insure the country political pros
perity. If Her Majesty shall I'M
happily set her face in another
direction, and endeavor to revive
the dead and buried maxim tha
the law of the land is the will of the
King, she will imperil the security

THE bearing which the appoint
ment of a strong Cabinet will have
upon the credit Of the Government
is well illustrated by the fact that
a gentleman now stands ready to
take q large amount ofthe Treasury
notes, but declines to do so until
he knows what kind of Il Ministry
is to be appointed.

The Weather Abroad and Here.

Summer is ended and The warm
days of September are on us, prov
ing more depressing and whiting
than any weather we had during
summer months. But cor nared
with the heat of cities in .0n1o "a
ours is bearable. In New York,
during one week in August, over
800 deaths were ascribed to heat.
The thermometer in the shade in

as follows: At Sacramento 100,
San Francisco 80, Los Angeles 80
Fresno 112, Yuma ia, and so on
This is much hotter weather than

Monday morning 10th inst, fire was
discovered in the basement OF a creamery
building OF the Franklin County Cream
cry Assoc station, located In the Central
Vermont Railroad yard st st. Adams, VT.
and within two hours the large wooden
factory was burned to the ground. The
origin OF the fire Is unknown.
Fifty tons OF butter were in an adjoin-

Some 80 tons of butter and 1000 tons OF
ice were destroyed. The buildings and
contents are total loss. The loss Is
nearly covered by an insurance OF &21 900.
The creamery was the largest one in
the United States, and produced from Is
to II thousand lbs. of butter per day.
1t used the cream OF over 1900 cows,
gathered from radius of 30 miles. The

some shifting in the yards, the fiagman
being sent back to signal the second seo-

He was soon called In and the train had
but started when the second section
dashed around the sharp curve few
yards away. The operator at Steelton is
alleged to have been responsible for the

killed were fifteen In number, and the
wounded reached nearly 80, some of
whom were badly crushed and otherwise
hurt.

Foreign Advices.

Chinese advices by the steamer EN-
press OF Japan say that the anti foreign n
riots have been resumed in the Yangsti
Valley. In Ching Ho, the house of two
ladies of the Church of England Seenana
Society was attacked and the tadies In
suited, and In Kinnind DR.. Riggs hospi-
tai was wrecked and the doctor badly
maltreated. Vigorous measures Of re-
dress have been taken by the British
Consul at Foo Chow.
IT Is estimated that the Liberals will
have a majority In Great Britain of be-
tween 90 and 20 members of Parliament,
In addition to the Irish vote, which will
be at least 80. Even IL the majority in
Great Britain does not come up to what
Is expected, the comb bined majority, II is
said, Is certain to exceed 100.
Advices from Afghanistan say that of
the 50S3 regular troops and the 5000 ir.
regulars sent against the rebels, $50 reg.
ulars and 1900 irregulars have been killed
In various engagements. The Ameer's
soldiers have become dispirited and
many are deserting.
Advices received from China indicate
that there is to be a heavy emigrat ion
from China to the West Indies during
the next few months, via the Canadian
Pacific Railway, the Cinnamon passing
through Canada In bond.
