OUR NEW FIRE CHIEF.
James II. Hunt Receives the Ap-
Observation-Disclosures in
Salaries.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the fire commissioners was held in
No. . engine house Thursday after
noon at o'clock. The full board,
consisting of Messrs. A. Brown,
chairman, J. II. Boyd and A. w.
Keech, was present. After some
routine business had been trans
acted, the matter of electing a sue
cessor to ex-Chief Hustace was
taken up. There were but two
candidates named for the position,
and the board finally selected Mr..
James H. Hunt to fill the vacant
Office. A reduction from 5000 10
$175 per month was made in the
salary attached to the Office
of chief engineer, and in
that of the senior foreman
from 500 to SIS. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Hunt will be well re-
ceived, and is fitting compliment
to the energy he has always dis
played since he has been connected
with the department. Mr.. Hunt
has been employed in the fire de-
partment in several capacities, for
some years, and has always been
an active worker and is deservedly
popular. The resignation of Mr..
Hustace was caused solely from
the fact that his private business
his whole time and atten-
ton, it being understood at the
time he accepted the position
that he would retain it but tempo
rarily. 1t can be said of the ex-
chief that during his tenure of
Office matters in connection with
the fire department always re-
ceived his prompt and personal at
tention.

HISTORICAL POSTER.
The Proclamation of Rear-Ad-
m:ra1 de Tromelin, Dated
December, IS4S.

While calling at the foreign office
yesterday afternoon, reporter of
the ADVERTISER saw an old yellow,
time-worn paper lying on Secretary
Potter's desk. Inquiry disclosed it
to be an interesting historical doc
ument, being no less than a copy
of the proclamation posted by Rear
Admiral de Tromelin, in Honolulu,
in the year 1S49.
The poster was found about a
week ago while overhauling some
old records in the foreign office,
and is, perhaps, the only remain
ing copy in existence. The poster
is 21x174 inches in size and is
printed in large type in the English
language. In one corner on the
back is endorsed the following
words, still legible but greatly faded,
the paper in some places being
eaten away by the action of the
ink.

posted up in Honolulu
on Sunday morning

The following is an exact copy
of the document itself

Honolulu.
ga misunderstanding, connected
with the non execution of Treaty
having existed, for some time, be-
tween France and the Hawaiian ISL
ands, the undersigned, rear Admiral
de Tromelin came to Honolulu in the
hope of settling it amicably and paci-
fically. With this view, he sought an
interview with the King in Council,
offering to hear their resons and dis
euss the question, with them, in a
conciliatory spirit. The advisors of
the King, against whose arbitrary and
unconstitutional conduct, the repre-
sentatives of the great Powers, France,
United States and the Great Britain,
had already protested in a collective
address,, on the Is Dec. 1S4S, thereby
binding their respective governments,
refused to grant the conference de-
manded. 1t became therefore a part
of the duty of the undersigned to for
ward to them an ultimatum which
they have also rejected. In conse-
quence thereof, the fort of Honolulu
has been disarmed by the French
forces now in the harbour, but the
Hawaiian flag still waves and will
continue to wave over it. The under
signed, who neither aims at an Occu-
patton nor at a protectorate, for
France, will hasten to Withdraw
with the forces under his command,
the moment his just reelamations are
attended to. In the mean time, il is
his fixed resolve to respect alike the
interests of all Foreigners no matter
what their creed or country. As far
as France is concerned, the convention
signed in 1889 by Captain Laplace,
will form the basis of her relations
with these islands. According to this
Treaty French merchandise of all
kinds will be admitted at the uniform
duty of 5 per cent.

Mr.. EDITOR: This mornings AID
vERTIsER contains a letter from a
person signing himself "a friend of
the japanese" which is replete with
misstatements. These untruths
may spring from ignorance or be
the work of meddling fool. The
Japanese who have worked out
their contract are not slaves or sub
iect to the control or direction of
the representative of Japan at
Honolulu. There have been one
hundred and fifty men sent to Qua
temala by Captain Ferguson, who
is duly appointed officer of the
government of Guatemala and has
sent these men because they are
experienced, capable, industrious,
intelligent and law-abiding, and
because they will be fit to act
as lunas for their countrymen
when they go to Guatemala from
Japan. 1t may safely be expected
that when they obtain such a posi-
ton none of them will kick any la
borer to death or shoot them in the
back with a pistol or maltreat them
otherwise, and in that respect these
men will be as comfortably off else
where as in these islands. Your
correspondent needs not concern
himself about the treaty that will
be made without him and is none
of his business. From Hilo fifteen
men were allowed to go, of whom
five only are contract laborers who
have worked out their contracts
and intended to return to Japan.
/ do not know whether the people
of Hawaii think this whole matter
of sufficient importance to justify
my crowding your columns with
this communication if you think
it is, publish this letter if you
please.
Mr.. Dato had nothing whatever
to do with the engagement of the
people from Hilo. except in so far
that he acted as interpreter between
myself and the people who wish to
go to Guatemala. Chinese have
never been employed in Guatemala,
and are not allowed to come there,
and the japanese who go there are
not deprived of any rights under
The name of Asiatics.
In conclusion, I will say to this
friend of the japanese at Hilo that |
MS statement of myself being in
.he remotest degree interested in
my commissions for Japanese who
come to these islands is untrue
and as he takes the responsibility |
If making it, l will say in plain |
words that he lies. If this cham
oion will call at my office 1 will |
induce Captain Ferguson to show
MIN his official credentials, and, |
after that, take pleasure in kicking |
him out for his impertinence.

THE W. C. HALL.
Her New Boiler Placed in Posi-
tion Successfully.

The new twenty-four ton steel
boiler for the steamer w. G. Hall
was successfully hoisted from the
wharf and placed in position on
board the vessel Thursday morn
ing. Sixteen-inch pulleys were
used in hosting the big boiler and
the crane stood the test we'll The
boiler was lowered into its bed
plate without a hitch. A few small
scratches on the woodwork was the
extent of damage incurred in lower
ing the boiler. 1t was exactly two
weeks ago Thursday since the Hall
was moved to her present berth to
have the old boiler removed, and it
will be six weeks yet before she
will be ready to resume her regular
route. The old boiler, which has
performed service for the Hall
since she was built at Port Blake
ly nine years ago, now lies with
six other large castaway boilers
belonging to several coasting
steamers on the beach near the
prison. The Halls new boiler it is
expected will do service for ten
years. 1t was built by the Homo
lulu Iron Works, and its cost is in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Al
together, the repairing of the
steamer Hall will cost the l. 1.
S. n. Co. between twenty-five and
twenty-four thousand dollars, in
GLIDING Marine Railway charges.
This large amount goes to laborers,
ETC., in this city.

She was from Boston, a sweet, SIM

nothing of the ways and means of lie.
But she thought she did, oh, yes, and
had an idea in her head that what she

So that one day in her Detroit board

d a spring freshet, she went to the
landlord and said:
II have some trunks in the basement.
Do you think the water will get into
them?"
Dunno" answered the landlord, who
had his money in advance; "it's bout a
foot deep now outside, aud rising"
Dear, dear, how perfectly dreadful;

Studying the Habits Of tho Maokersl.

The United States Fish Commission,
in conjunction with the Canadian Gov
ernment, has been studying the habits
OF the maekerel this spring. The Fish
Commissions steamer Albatross Joined
the mackerel feet when ii was cruising
of Cape Hatteras and has followed 1t
with the run of the mackerel north as
far as the Canadian coast, where this
valuable food fish is now being caught
In great numbers by both Canadian and
American fishermen. For some reason or
other, some Of the fishermen say because
of the clear water, the Americans did
not have so good luck in the southern
waters as their rivals are having now.
of Yarmouth the Canadian fleet is re-
ported to have caught as much as 400
barrels in a week, while the Americans
did not catch more than 500 barrels in
month in the more southern waters.
1t is believed that much useful infor-
nation can be gained by scientific
study OF the habits of the mackerel.
The Fish Commission has had experts
stationed az various points along
the coast, with whom those on
the AbatrosS have communicated, the
steamer putting in and out of these
ports aS desired.
