!. Washington, August 23. The debate in
the Senate this morning on the resolution
offered by Mr.. PETER to investigate the
use of clearing house certificates by the
banks of New York, Boston and other
large commercial centres was extremely
significant as showing that the friendship
which at one time existed between Cor
man and Hill has been broken, thus
conforming rumors which have been in
circulation for some time past Hill
made what was really a personal attack
on German, although he yelled it to
slight extent but his manner no less than
his words showed that he was directly
attacking Marylands Senator, and In
what he said there was an intimation
that he was not disposed to allow Cor
man to run the Senate to suit himself
The fact is, both Hill and German are
presidential candidates, and both men
distrust each other. 1t would not be
surprising, after what Hill said today,
If he should vote against unconditional
repeal in the Senate.

three hours and then go on deck at

crossed four times in the run Of sew

The routine of the schoolroom from
nine to twelve in the, forenoon, and
from one. till four in the afternoon,
was that of any ordinary school, ex-
cept that the girls who prepared the
meals were excused earlier than the
others. One day in the week was de-
voted to washing and ironing; much of
this work was done on the river bank
in the shade of the tamarind trees.
The girls were required to talk Eng

in the afternoon. From that until
supper-time they were allowed to talk
Hawaiian, and their tongues ran fast.
Wednesday afternoons the girls went
to battle in the river, and Saturday af-
ternoons to battle in the sea. 1t usually
fell to my lot to accompany them.
The river, n few rods back of the

dive and. swim under water for some
distance. They were always glad
when the time came to go swimming
in the sea. for they were fond of a
green moss which grew on the reef,
and they would all sit on rocks picking
and eating it, while the spray dashed
over them. They sometimes caught
little silver fish in their dress skirts;
these they ate raw. One girl told me
that her father could dive and bring
up fish in each hand and one in his
