THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
SOME RADICAL CHANGES WADE
YESTERDAY.
THE trouble Caused by Matte Fireman
ohiect,nc To BsinG Hoga"d ~
white Men.

1t was lucky for the city of Honolulu
that no fire broke out between eleven
o'clock and noon yesterday, for, owing
to the sudden resignation of twelve fire.
men out of the twenty-six or seven em-
ployed, the Fire Department was sadly
crippled. The trouble, such as it was,
arose in this way
At the meeting of the Fire Commits
sioners on Wednesday Frank Cooper
was appointed To the vacant position of
Senior Foreman upon the recommends
ton OF Chief Engineer Hunt. This APP
pointment did not give satisfaction to a
number of the native tiremen for the
reason that they were not consulted in
the choice and that they seem to have
an idea that none but natives should be
employed in the department. Shortly
after I a. m. yesterday Chief Engineer
Hunt paid off the men, as it is his
usual custom, and few minutes
afterwards George Townsend. driver
of the hosecart, entered the chiefs
private office and threw his badge on
the table, stating that he then and there
gave up his job. He was followed by
eleven other native members of the
Department who went through the
same course. The chief asked for rea-
sons but none were given, except that
some of the men said they did not pro-
pose to be bossed by white men.
By this procedure the central engine
house was left with only the chief,
engineer and driver, and the depart
ment was crippled. The chief, how
ever, was equal to the emergency and
telephoned the state of affairs to the
Commissioners. Two of them,
NIessrs A. Brown and George w.
Smith responded Immediately, Cap
tain Gum coming later, and the chief
was ordered to fill the vacancies at once
and to use his own judgment in the Sc
lection of his men. In less than an hour
new and better men were on duty, and
instructions were issued not to allow
any of the old men about the engine
houses. The names of those whose sud
den resignation practically left the city.
at the mercy of the fire fend fer time
are published for the information of
property owners. They are: VIM. Keaoe,
foreman of No. |; J. Bottle, stoker of
No. 2; J. w. Mcdonald, driver of single
hose cart; George Townsend, driver of
hose cart; Andrew jackson, messenger:
Kanululu, C. X. Nui, Tom Price, N.
George, Phillipo, Robert Sylvi and C. w
! Cloud, hosemen; all natives.
The new appointees are white men, al
some of them have native blood in their
veins. They are: Thomas King, driver
of the hose cart; j. f. May, stocker of
No. 2; E. R. Ryan, foreman No. 1; j.
j. Carlson, Chas. Bloom, p w. Ryan,
Chas. Lambert, Douglass Brown, S.
Stamford, G. w. Hellickson and g..
Nelson, hosemen. The position of mes
senger has not yet been filed.
The Commissioners remained in con-
sultation with the Chief Engineer until
everything was in running order again.
Ryan, the new foreman of No. |, was
formerly engineer of No. 2 under the
volunteer organization, while many of
the other appointees have had some ex-
perience with the department. The po-
sitions range from 1915 to $40 per month.

AS 70 THE RED COATS.
THEY WOULD COME ASHORE TO
PROTECT BRIToNs.
NO Other Purpose. and No Likelihood
OF ~ Pr"teCtcrate what English
men Were Told,

The other day when the iumors of
restoration came 80 thick and fast two
British subjects went to enquire what
protection their Government would give
them in the event of fighting here.
Later they were found in the Union
saloon. where they talked over what
mad been said to them in the hearing of
a man who reported the facts to the
STAR.
1t appears that upon an outbreak or
an invasion by the United States forces,
the Champions men will come ashore
and form a hollow square about the
British Legation. or such other place ms
Minister Wodehouse may choose as
his headquarters, All British sub
jects will be invited to come
within the lines and there they will find
safety. Owing to the paucity of num-
bers. no British marines or sailors will
be detailed to guard property. That
will be left to the American and Ha-
waiian Governments, particularly the
former, which was said in the House of
Commons st March to have been vest
ed with that responsibility.
The Englishmen were assured further
that the British forces had no other OBJ
ject in coming ashore than the one
stated, and that they did not expect TO
establish a protectorate.

BURGLARY LAST NIGHT.
Larry Dee's saloon Entered and tn,
Money drawer Emptied.

Larry Dee's saloon Entered and the
Money-drawer Emptied.
Burglars gained admittance to the
Criterion Saloon last night and helped
themselves to the contents of the money
drawer besides a bottle of brandy, some
cigars and other good things. Entrance
was effected through the rear door in
the alley-way and the burglar or
burglars must have climbed over the
roofs of some out-buildings on the
Union-street side to have got into the
passage. A hole was cut in the panel
of the door by which hand was intro
duced and the spring lock drawn back
An effort was first made with jimmy to
priy the door open. but it was useless
The opening seems to have been made
with penknife and must have taken
some time. Once inside the burglar
emptied the till of the small change
usually left over night, in this instance
about $40, and then devoted his atten-
ton to the safe. This, however, defied
his efforts, so he solaced himself with II
bottle of French brandy and some of
l.arry's best cigars, neglecting to pick
mp a stack of silver. containing Sl5,
which had been left standing on the
shelf close to the brandy. The burglary
was discovered when the door to the
aleyway was opened to let the ice man
IN at o'clock this m6sning. The police
were at once notified, but no clues have
vet been obtained.

worship.
At eleven o'clock number of admir-
ers of the English game went out to the
II. NJ. S. Champion and the local club
competed for victory. The Champions
made aeycnty-eight in the first innings,
due principally to the good hating of
Prentis, Gibbons and Nugent The
home team Ia their first bout at the bat
were disposed Of for fourteen runs in
one, two, three order, the players SEEM
mgly becoming "rattled" when their
hest batsman was bowled out for one
run. After this innings bounteous
lunch was served in the house formerly
occupied by Colonel Soper, and the
Honolulu team braced themselves up
for the second innings. The spread was
furnished by T. Krouse of the Airing
ton, and although all the cricketers and
their friends Jared sumptuously there
was enough left for twenty or thirty
more. In their second innings
the local team got forty-six runs
together, T. Lishman making twelve.
The Champion team won the match by
one innings and eighteen runs.
The great attraction of the day, how
ever, was football. and nearly a thou
sand people went out to the grounds to
witness the game between the Pacific
and Punahou teams. In the first half
there was some excellent all-round play
ing, in which first one side and then the
other crossed the winning line, and
when time was called the score stood al
four for each side. In the second hall
the Punahou team showed greater skill
and staying power and succeeded in
making 8 more points to their op.
ponents 0. A few minutes before the
game was ended Coroett. one of the
best players of the Pacifics, was knocked
senseless i'm rush and was retired, his
place being taken by James Spencer
Mr.. Corbett's injuries were only tenn
porary and he soon recovered. The
usual Accomplishments of football
match were present in the shape of vari
colored ribbons. rosettes. the fanfare OF
Tin horns of all sizes and descriptions
and the inevitable mascots. For the
latter the Punahou team brought
out Uncle Sam in the college colors
with umbrella and beard to match, while
the Pacifics trotted out young donkey
with red trappings and the name of tn,
club in white. The latter "hoodooed'
the game for the Pacifics by taking {
roll in the dust about the home plate OF
the diamond, ANONYMOUSLY tramplinf

wise misconducting himself
The balance of the day was put in b,
all classes and conditions of Honolulu
in discussing turkey and other "fixings'
and in social enjoyment. a number o
dinner parties being given by prominen
people.

HANAKUA, Nov. 27.--The all-absorb.

drouth. What will be done if the rain
holds off four or five more days is a
question that is a puzzle to everyone.
There is no fresh water for miles and
miles, excepting ut Honokaa. | under
stand the mill is using condensed sea
that, which has to be pumped up from
the Honokaa landing, some mile away
or so.
There is plenty of snow on the noun
tain, which is, of course, indicative of
much rain there, but we got none near
the Government road
The mills are grinding AID the cane is
yielding about two or three tons to the
acre, which is reckoned very large
average considering the dry spell.
The carpenter at Honokaa mill, Mr..
O'Brien, met with rather serious acct.

tending the raising of about two tons of
sugar-cane, when IL rope in the pulley
slipped and wound itself around Mr..
O'Brien's legs bringing him to the
ground. No bones are broken, but he is
somewhat bruised and it is thought he
will DE some Gays still confined to his
house.
The Waialeale arrived at Kukuihaele
on Friday, bringing mail. On board
they had South Sea Islander and his
wife.
1t seems that Just off Lahaina. at
about a. M. on Monday, certain of the
crew heard some shouting out at sea,
and called the captains attention to the
fact. To the captain the cries seemed
to be from someone requiring help, and
he at once sent boat off in the direction
from which the sounds were heard.
After some time the boat returned.

their statement it appears they had
gone out fishing in the early part of the
day and towards shutdown their canoe
had gone to pieceJ. There was then
nothing left but for the two to swim
towards land. They were picked up by
the Waialeale after being in the water
nearly ten hours. The woman when
brought on board was completely
exhausted, and il was evident she could
not have lived another hour if help had
not come when it did.
To Captain Smythe and his gallant
crew much praise is due for their noble
