The news received through semi
official and private sources by last
Fridays mail is reassuring to the
friends of good government in Ha-
wall. 1t is now pretty certain the
matter under contemplation by
the United States government is
the contamination Of some plan
which will give the Provisional
government both internal and ex-
ternal support and protection uRtil
such a time that some safe and linn
tied form of representative govern
ment can be established, which
will insure the carrying on of the
administration of the islands prop
erly and in the interests of western
civilization. This means, if it
means anything, the establishment
Of some form OF American rule IN
Hawaii. It may be done directly
through the United States govern
ment or indirectly through the
agencies of the Provisional govern
ment and the American colony in
Hawaii. In any event the new
government will be distinctively
American in form and principles
and viii be guaranteed by the pro-
lection of the United States. As
surances have been received that
in any event the Hawaiian mon
archv is at an end.

THE z. VI. C. A. BOYS.
The Junior Department ReceD-
ton Given them
Last Night

a visitor to the Young Mems
Christian Association rooms last
evening would have wondered
where all the boys had come from.
1t seemed as if all the boys of the
city were present. The gathering
was occasioned in response to an
invitation issued by the Junior de-
partment for a reception to boys
between II and II years of age.
By 6 o'clock over eighty boys sat
down to a sumptuous repast which
had been arranged by Mrs. Henry
Waterhouse and Miss Jones. These
ladies evidently knew what boys
appetite was, and had arranged
everything that a boy likes-from
chicken pie to ice-cream and cake.
At 7 o'clock a choice musical
programme was rendered. Miss
Parmalee gave a piano solo. Mr..
Louis Barsotti delighted the boys
with his flute and had to respond
to an encore. Miss Rhodes pre-
sented a recitation of school life,
after which Professor Tuney de-
lighted the Juvenile audience with
an exhibition of club swinging that
fairly brought down the house and
he had to respond to an encore.
Mr.. Cruder gave a cornet solo and
was accompanied on the piano by
Mr.. Berger.
General Secretary Corbett gave
ten-minute address on boys work
as conducted in associations in
other lands, after which Mr.. Ord
way brought the programme to a
close with a mandolin solo. Mrs.
Angus, Miss Parmelee, Miss Wing
and Miss Rhodes acted as assist
ants in serving the collation.. A
boys meeting will be started at the
Young Mems Christian Association
rooms ON Sunday next, at $3.50
o'clock. All boys between the ages
Of eleven and seventeen years are
invited to be present.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

If combination has been made
between the Oceanic company and
the Pacific liners touching here tc
put up fares to the coast in favor
of Mr.. Spreckels' company, the
thing should at once be made
public grievance. The rumors on
this matter have been so point.
eddy significant for the past few
days that suspicious have been
aroused. Yesterday in the weekly
session of the councils the min
lister of finance was asked point
blank regarding the matter. While
he said there was no proof in the
possession of the department that
would warrant such a charge he
would not deny the truth of the
FACTS unoficially known through
the testimony of laymen to be back
of the allegations. Mr.. Suhr denied
there was any combination, and it
is to be presumed that he spoke
semi-oficially for the steamship
lines his company represents. At
the same time the public should
take the disclaimers of interested
persons with pretty large pinch
of salt. The heartless methods of
corporations need hardly be pointed
out. The San Francisco papers are
still full of the revenge being taken
on the city of Oakland, Cal, by the
Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany. Steamship lines are not
whit less INSCRIPTIONS, if they get
the drop on their patrons. 1t may
be that what the local agents of
the steamship lines allege is true,
and that no combine has been
made; in the meantime it may
perhaps be the part of wisdom to
"'ware the dog" In case the
steamship companies have pooled
their issues to corner fares and
freights coastward, the government
and merchants should combine in
self-defense, and, if necessary, with
hold both public and private sup
port from the companies in ques-
ton until such time as competing
through or local lines can be estab-
lished.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Claus
Spreckels and Minister Thurston,
of Hawaii, are in the city, watching
for developments in Hawaiian mat
tiers, as soon as the Repeal bill is
gotten out of the way in the senate.
Spreckels declares the natives
would have swept the Provisional
gc-ernment out of existence and
whipped the sailors and marines of
the Boston in May but for the paci-
fic counsel of the ex-queen. They
recognize the matter as a case in
court and there will be no trouble
till the United States has made its
final decision on annexation.

The regular monthly meeting of
the board of fire commissioners was
held at the engine hall Thursday.
There were present Chairman An
drew Brown and A. w. Keech.
After some routine business had
been transacted, the resignation of
Thos. E. Wall as secretary of the
board was discussed and accepted.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr..
Wall for the efficient manner in
which he had discharged the duties
of the position. His successor was
not named at the meeting, but will
be decided on during the month of
October.
The following lengthy report of
the chief engineer was then read
and approved:
OFFICE OF CHIEF ENGINEER, I
HONOLULU FIRE DEPARTMENT. !
Mr.. ANDREW BROWN, Chairman,
Board of Fire Commissioners:
DEAR SIR-In accordance with Sec
ton 2, Act II, of the Provisional gov
eminent, / now present you with the
first semi-annual report from March
LIST to September lSt.
During the said time, two stalls
have been provided with storeroom,
also accommodations for men, at en-
CINE company No. l, and new team
of black horses have also been pur-
chased for said company.
A new hose wagon has been i'm
ported, and hose company formed
with the two horses formerly the
property of engine company No. u.
The said wagon carries two Babcock's
fire extinguishers, also $50 #. hose,
which adds to the efficiency of the de-
partment.
Also through the energy of yourself
as superintendent of water works,
hydrants have been placed
in places that required better protec-
ton than was supplied before you
took office.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-10-03

the property of others may be an
dangered, to have the same removed
at their expense, if not removed in
given time.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
! hereby recommend that one of
the steam fire engines be placed on
the plains with a team OF horses.
which can be so regulated that II
their services are needed in town in
case of a large fire, they can be to
work in the town inside of fifteen
minutes after the alarm is sounded.
| further recommend that the
chemical engine be placed in commits
sion for the better protection of prop
erty in this city, in place of China
Engine Co., which / claim is Of no
benefit to the department.
The same could be placed in com.
mission for very small cost, which
would be for team of light horses;
also by placing only one more driver
on the pay roll, say at $50 per month,
and that could be saved by a three
months notice to China Engine Co.
This engine If placed in the house Of
No. . engine will be able to extin-
guish nine fires out OF ten, which
would mean less damage by water to
stock than is the case now, the dam
age to goods is always more by water
than by fire in nine cases out of ten.
would call your attention in re-
gard to chemical engines by the last
report of Chief Scannell of the San
Francisco fire department.; he says:
The efficiency of chemical engine
companies for extinguishing fires in
their incipiency is clearly illustrated
by the record of chemical engine No.
/, she having extinguished, unas-
sisted, 81 per cent. of the fires in her
district during the last fiscal year"
In closing my report 1 desire to ten
der my thanks to the honorable board
of fire commissioners, the officers and
members of the department for their
support, which has been the cause of
the success and efficiency of this de-
partment.
Hoping, as l have resigned this
position, that you will give my sue
cessor the same support that you have
given me, and that the efficiency of
this department will always be main
tanned.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK HUsTACE,
Chief Engineer Honolulu Fire De-
partment.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The following interesting cores
pondence was received from Mr..
H. NJ. Whitney by the Alameda
yesterday, and will be read with
interest by his many friends and
the public generally:
The trip across the continent
by either of the three northern
routes presents many novel features
as compared with the older central
and Southern Pacific roads, which
are more frequently travelled by
tourists and residents of Hawaii.
The Canadian probably presents
the most interesting features, equal
ing in some respects the grandest
scenery of Switzerland. The gla-
ciers, in particular, can be seen on
no other route, and, from all &C.
counts, are the finest and most ex-
tensive in the world. For summer
travel, this is probably the most
attractive, and will in future draw
many travellers from the older
southern routes, especially as direct
steam communication is now had
with its western terminus, Van
couver, which is well located
seventy miles north of Victoria.
Though only seven years have
elapsed since the first house was
erected on its site, it boasts popu-
lation of of over 1900. Being the
terminus of two steamship lines
to China and Australia-it cannot
fail of becoming a place of con-
siderable Importance.
A correspondent of a Boston
paper thus notices his first visit to
this new city of the Pacific: at
was night when we entered the
Canadian Pacific terminal city,
Vancouver, the Britishers' pride.
Of it they say: See what a splen-
did city we have made in six years,
with a population of 15,0O0l' A
marvel of British Columbian enter
prise is Vancouver. The leading
hotel, owned and operated by the
Canadian Pacific Railway, has an
atmosphere as thoroughly English
as a London hostelry. The corri-
doris are filed with tourists about
to embark on the Empress of
China, that sails at ''alf-tide,' as
the purser announces with pro-
vincial accent. This is the center
of interest; magnificent steam
ship-as fine as any that sails into |
New York harbor, though not as
spacious. 1t is differed by Eng
but the menials are China
men uniformed with black suits
and small caps surmounted by red
under which hang the
long pigtails. Intelligent, keen
looking japanese persOnages with
dignity move among the hilarious
crowds"
Probably few of the readers of
this paper are aware that there are
now three transcontinental rail-
roads, which start from western
termini north of Portland, Oregon.
OF these the Canadian Pacific is
the most northern. There is then
the Northern Pacific, the western
terminus of which is Tacoma, with
q branch from Portland, intersect-
ing the main line at Spokane. Now
8 third line has been completed,
starting at Seattle on Puget Sound,
and crossing the mountains be-
tween the above-named roads, and
near the boundary line between
and the United States. 1t

has been built by James J. Hill, a
Canadian by birth, but a natural
lied American residing at St. Paul,
Minnesota. He has quietly been
at work for three years past con-
structing section after section, with
out state or government aid or
grants, having had the cooperation
of New York and Boston capital
lists and before the public gener-
ally knew of it, the announcement
was made that through freight and
passengers would be taken from
Seattle to St. Paul, and at lower
rates than heretofore prevailed.
The citizens of St. Paul are proud
of the boldness and push of one of
their own citizens, who can accom-
plish such a feat in SO short pc
Rod. Mr.. Hill is a plain, hard
working man, who was educated as
civil engineer.
The care with which railroads
are now constructed across what
formerly was considered almost
impossible mountains, indicates
that within a very few years the
number of transcontinental roads
will be double what it now is, and
that fares and freights will of
necessity be reduced to half the
present rates. Mr.. Hill has done
more than any other man to strike
a death blow to high fares, and he
deserves success for his boldness.
Besides the fares, a heavy charge
is made for sleeping car privileges
two dollars a night for sleeping
and two dollars day for sitting in
one of these Pullman cars is too
much, and they should be reduced
to one dollar each. Good meals are
furnished at seventy-fve cents each,
which, under the circumstances, is
a reasonable charge.
Compared with ten or fifteen
years ago, travelling by rail across
the continent is much more COM
Portable and much less expensive.
Where it then cost $3.50, the same
distance can be accomplished for
$50 to $75. And each years sharp |
rivalry is still further reducing the
cost, with better service.
There are risks in travelling rap !
idly by rail. For instance, in
the state of Wisconsin, |
where forest fires were prevailing,
the train I was in was going at a
speed of thirty miles an hour
when it came to stream where the
bridge had been destroyed by fire.
Fortunately slow freight train
had been stopped by the fire just
ahead of the passenger train, or the
entire train might have been
plunged into the river. Having
been compelled to return by an
other route, so as to get around the
ire, the engineer managed to run
INTO passing train, the result of
which was that both engines we're
demolished, compelling a deten-
ion to procure others, and this
happened with telegraph ready at
hand to announce where each train
vas. Only two men were injured
IN the locomotives, the passengers
with heavy shock and
care, and only fourteen hours late
n arrival. II. NJ. w.
