day morning. The man was gath

M. S. Champion, will be presented

boat was sent by the British Board
of Trade, to replace boat present

years ago, and which is too old
now to do much service.
The Hawaiian four-masted steel
ship Hawaiian Isles, Captain o.
Kustel, left Newcastle, N.S.W., on
November 3, with about 5000 tons
of coal for San Francisco. The ship
John Ena was also to leave New
castle a week later with 1000 tons
of coal for the same port. They
are both expected at San Francisco
during January.

Amount On Board the ToIna.
Wichman, the sailing-master of
the Tolna, seems to be one of the
most talked about men on the
water front just now. A few days
ago the ADVERTISER published an
article from the San Francisco
Chronicle, saying that he was
thought by the Countess friends
to have piratical designs on the
dainty little craft, and yesterday
another story leaked out, still more
to his discredit if true.
1t seems that week or two be-
fore the Tolna left San Francisco,
Wichman had many different
kinds Of money, and was lavish in
his expenditures. He is said, also,
to have dropped dark hints as to a

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

Nearly eight months have pass
ed since Mr.. Cleveland assumed
Office, says the S. F. Chronicle, and
the Hawaiian problem is still un
solved. During about half of thai
time the senate has been in session
and could have considered the
nstter if the president had been
prepared to submit it. But moth
inr has been done since the treaty
negotiated by Mr.. Harrison was
Withdrawn from the senate, except
10 send Mr.. Blount on semi-otfi-
cial OF extra-ofhcial tour of obser-
walton. His work, whatever it
was, has been finished for several
weeks and still the president has
done nothing.
This delay is or may appear to
be of small Importance to the
United States. We have been dur
ing these months much taken up
bT our financial troubles, and re-
Gently BY the monetary struggle in
congress. The attention of the
country has therefore been divert
ed from the question of our rela-
ton TO the islands. But it might
be well for US to consider how it
has been and is with Hawaiians
who have been standing at our
door all this time. Is this delay
just to them Are they not emit
tied under every consideration of
fairness and of diplomatic and po-
liticaI prudence to an answer to
their profer =?
A recent Washington telegram
states that it is expected that Mr..
Cleveland viii send a special mes
sage to the senate as soon as the
silver bill is out of the way. 1t is
10 be hoped that this is so, but it is
more than likely that nothing will
be done until the regular session.
Even If the message is sent in,
may take a recess before
any action can be had.
But It would seem that the SUBJ
iect is receiving attention at Wash |
ington. A democratic member of |
The foreign affairs committee is re-
ported to have said that one of
three things will be done. The
queen viii be restored, a protector
ate viii be established or the isl
ands viii be annexed; he was I'M
able TO say which plan would be
isvored by the administration.
Ind then we have an account of
IN interview with Mr.. Hit, of
formerly chairman of the
oreign affairs committee, who says
hat all of these plans are imprac-
icable, and the first one absurd.
Els idea is that the United States
Ihould acquire the islands as a
necessity, to be held and
as a military and naval
tation.
Such q proposition is utterly out
{ the question. That we might

ate began years before when a fright
ened little girl was left for her first day
in school away from her mother. That
day was followed by hundreds of others,
each with its own tasks and its pleas
ures as well. There are a great many
of the former and a judicious sprinkling
of the latter, enough to sweeten but not
to spoil the school life. Glass after class
is passed like the various stations on n
railway journey until Mt last the ter
minus is near
Then there are many special prepara-
lions, mental rs well as material, for the
sweet girl graduate isn't composed en-
tirely of clothes, as many of her para
graphers seem to think Underneath
the silken or muslin or lace gowns are
hearts full of purpose and earnestness-
hearts that lean out hopefully toward
the life that lies before them. The ma
jority look forward to time spent at
least partly in work, and the common
resolve made on commencement night is
to have that work good. 1t may not be
80. Some of the girls may turn out to
be failures, but at least their purpose is
high and relieves them from the charge
of being naught but distracting bundles
of fine feathers.
Do you, oh, women in thousand
walks of life, ever go back to your grad
uation night? Perhaps you do when Your
daughters last year at high school, SEM
mary or college is hurrying you in your
preparations for her commencement sea-
SON. How it all comes back again! It
was the happiest as it was SO far the
most important night i'll your young
life Work lay behind, work lay before,
but on that June night there needed to
be only folded hands whose greatest bur
den was the white scroll, ribbon tied
your essay-or that other white scroll
marked with a name-your diploma. AT
most you would be laden with book
or medal or the floral gifts of friends
only such sweet burdens as these.
You sat surrounded by figures in white
dresses, like yourself, with dainty sashes,
gloves and few flowers for ornament.
The sweet girl graduate never needs any
other. She is a flower herself and Jew
els are cut Of place on her. The boy
graduates sat behind. Alas, poor thing!

mention. ana an august body Of men

ton of the schools affurs-were near.
There was singing, and the boys showed
their skill in oratory on some stirring
subject, while the girls. you among the

in which you had absolutely no expert
