Salt water Aau.riun on Puget sound.

Salt water Aquarium on Puget sound.
PoRr TowssEsp. Dec. ln.-ISpeciaLl-
An effort 10 being made % have the
Smithsonian Institution establish q salt
water aquarium on Puget sound The
government will be asked to send one Of
the aquariums which were on exhibition
at Chicago to one of the Sound cities.
Judge J. G. Swan. the Northwest repre-
sentative OF the institute, has the matter
in charge and - urging the authorities in
Washington City TO accede TO the
request. With the aid of the Ash COM
mission steamer Albatross, which visits
these waters every year. the aquarium
could be stocked with all kinds OF marine
life. He says that . good collection Of salt
water animal life would be vast benefit
TO the students of natural history. TIE
expense Of maintaining the collection
would be nominal.
The government Is anxious to ascertain
how the Holsters that were taken from the
Atlantic coast in 1857 and trans
planted in the waters In the vicin-
ity Of Port Townsend have thrived
and multiplied in numbers. Fishermen
reported frequently that Holsters were
found which were equally as good ~ the
Eastern variety. Judge Swan wiifobtain
. few specimens for the institute.

The Mid Viuter Fair.

4 San Francisco merchant, Just
returned from Chicago, said in an
interview in a San Francisco paper
II was very much surprised to see
the great interest taken by promin-
ent eastern people regarding the
proposed winter fair in this city
in fact, it may be said that all eyes
are turned at the present time to
this city. People who never before
were interested in the Pacific coast
are now talking of visiting San
Francisco. During my visit to the
Worlds Fair | came in contact
with a great many of the foreign
exhibitors, as well as the conces-
sionaires in Midway PIaisance, and
1 can readily say that the exhibits
which will be brought over here
viii be grand and attractive, and
something never before seen or
heard of on the Pacific coast. In
conversing with the concessionaires
I think there is no question of
doubt, so far as the villages in
the Midway Plaisance are con
cerned, that the Javanese, Daho-
man, Chinese, japanese and other
villages, as well as the street Of
Cairo, viii be reproduced in this
citv.'

Nymphe, while north, discovered
another rock not marked upon the

Hump Back and Kalasin reef, dis
tant three-quarters Of a mile from
the former. There is a wash over
it at low tide, and it is easily dis

The officers of the Nympha re-
port that five of the fleet of Ameri-
can gunboats and cutters were
assembled at Ounalaska when they
left there on July Sd, preparing for
a big celebration of the national

also some sailing vessels on hand
to do honor to the day, making
quite a gathering altogether Of men
and vessels. The Nymphe was far

THE EGYPTIAE PARALLEL.

England in Egypt-Mr. Alfred
Miners recent work on " England
in Egypt is full Of interest for the
statesman, the economist and the
philanthropist. But to rs in Ha-
wall nei it has 4 peculiar interest
on account Of the strange resem-
blances as well rs the differences
which exist between the political
conditions and problems Of the two
countries. From our limited ex-
perience here with races Of Asiatic
origin, we can understand the
Egyptian situation better than En-
ropeans or Americans who theorize
about it at home.
While admiring the grand
achievements of England in Egypt
for the cause of civilization and
humanity, such as the reform of
her finances, the reduction of the
interest on her national debt to
three per cent, the regulation and
reduction of the taxes, the abolition
of forced labor and of the bastin-
ado, the new irrigation works,
which have increased production
one-half, as well as the great re-
forms in justice and education the
impartial looker-on must yet admit
that these benefcent reforms are
founded on the sand.
England is in a false position
there. \ yelled protectorate, ;"
which may be Withdrawn at any
time, is an illogical, irritating and
insecure state of things. It is
mainly owing to the extraordinary
administrative and diplomatic
ability of Sir Evelyn Barring, now
Lord Cromer, that such vicious
arrangement has been made to
VOL saecassfuIIy Tor the time.
The great mistake was made in not
proclaiming protectorate after the
victory of Tel el Kebir, at the close
of 1882, which might have then
been done with the consent of Eu-
rope.
No one who has any insight into
Oriental character viii believe that
the Egyptians can become fitted to
maintain a civilized government in
ten years, or twenty years. It will
be the work of generations, if not
centuries. Let England withdraw
now, and the seven evil spirits of
the old despotism viii return, and
"the last state of" Egypt "be worse
than the first"

Egypt and Hawaii-Many para,

Egypt and Hawaii-Many paral-
lels between Egypt and Hawaii
have been suggested from time to
time by observers of the course of
Hawaiian affairs. Kalakaua, on a
smaller scale, emulated the reckless
career of prodigality which drove
the Khedive IsmaiI into exile, and
saddled Egypt with her monu-
mental debt; but happily the revo-
luton Of 1887 broke up his mad
schemes and saved him and his
kingdom from q similar fate.
Here, as in Egypt, race jealous
les have greatly aggravated the
evils of the situation, but in less
degree; for the term "haole" has
not quite BECOME the equivalent Of
giaour," nor are the "kahunas
as dangerous as the Mohammedan
"ulema." In the same way Arab
Bey, with his war cry of Egypt
for the Egyptians" has been paro-
died by professional agitators here
with their denunciations of the
white invaders"
The position of England, with
her unavowed protectorate in
Egypt, strikingly resembles that of
the United States in Hawaii, and
the same reasons make it difficult
for either nation to renounce the

Observation-Disclosures is indeed
an object lesson of the evils of Joint
protectorates, and Of the great bene-
fits that may result from the con
trolling influence of one civilized
power. As Miner truly says: "a
compact, by which the two powers
best qualified to exercise such in
fuence, should agree with each
other not to exercise it, would
simply be the greatest conceivable
encouragement to all the reaction
airy forces in Egypt to try and
undo all the good that has been
accomplished"
Our author ably disposes of the
specious proposal of neutraIiza-
ton" or Hands off all around. ;"
cit was a capital plan," he says,
"to neutralize the Suez canal. The
company can take excellent care of
the internal arrangements of the
canal, and the only danger to it
lay in interference from outside.
Nothing could be better than to
neutralize countries, which, while
they offer temptation to the greed
Of their neighbors, are, if left alone,
perfectly able to take care of them
Selves such as Switzerland or
Belgium. But it is impossible to
conceive of any thing more dis
similar to the internal condition of
Belgium or Switzerland than that
of Egypt" He shows how the So
called naturalization" at present
would leave Egypt to drift back
into anarchy, and again to endan-
ger the peace Of the world.
He also demonstrates that lin
ternationalism" or a joint protec-
torate would be the worst of all
proposed solutions. The applica-
ton of these principles to Hawaii
is obvious. What England is pre-
vented from doing in the case OF
Egypt by European jealousies, the
United States is perfectly free 20
do in this case, for the interest Of
civilization as we'll as for their own
greater security and prosperity.

Dear SIR In appreciation Of your

roads on the water front, We take the
pleasure Of presenting you with this
walking-stick.
Your FRIENDS.
It is learned that the gift was
presented by nine firms doing bust
ness on the water front, only two
other persons being subscribers
thereto. It was the intention of
the donors TO keep their names
secret, which they viii probably
succeed in doing, as it has not yet
leaked out.
Minister King was seen by an
ADVERTISER reporter yesterday
morning, and learned that that
gentleman knew very little as TO
the personality of his generous
and appreciative friends. " [ do
think they're playing me rather
a mean trick to fix it so l can't
even thank them personally, and
so I wish you would say for me
that I heartily thank them all for
their kindness"

stance, the other day, after he had print
ed ar important piece Of news about the
proper way to cook crawfsh and a hui

him about his advice to the cook to cut
the live fish in halves, he retorted mer-
rly by expressing the opinion that it il
ridiculous sentiment to treat creatures
of low or rudimentary organizations as
If they had the same susceptibility to
pain as . human being, and settled the
question finally by telling an anecdote
about an angling friend Of his who once
caught a perch foul"
The hook pierced the fish's eye. My friend
felt that he had not caught the perch accord.
ing to the rules Of the game, SO, to compensate
him for losing his eye. he put him back into the
water. He then baited his hook with the eye
and went to work again. Within three min
utes he caught that same perch again with his
own eye.
This is a capital fish story. We have
not heard a better tale in a long while.
It is a lie of course. but all fish stories
