TODAY Hawaii joins with the
Great American Republic in her
observance of a day of Thanksgiv-
ing to Almighty God for the many
benefits received during the past
year. President Cleveland, in his
proclamation, says: con this day
let US forego our ordinary work
and employments and assemble in
our usual places of worship, where
we may recall all God has done for
us, and where from grateful hearts
our united tribute of praise and
song may reach the throne ofgrace.
Let the reunion of kindred and
social meeting with friends lend
cheer and enjoyment to duty, and
let generous gifts of charity for the
relief of the poor and needy prove
the sincerity of our thanksgiving"

The United States and Brazn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-It is
understood that at the Cabinet
meeting tomorrow the question
will be taken up of the policy to
be pursued by this Government in
the event of an attempt on the part
of the Brazilian Royalists to aid
Mello and perhaps to land an ex-
petition on the shores of South
America. Late dispatches from
Minister Thompson make no refer
ence to the proclamation alleged to
have been issued by Admiral Mello
regarding the monarchy, and the
Department is inclined to believe
the report is baseless. However, it
has been decided to draft special
instructions for the guidance of the
Minister and Captain Picking in
case of emergency. This Govern
ment, it can be stated on the
highest authority, will not permit
the monarchy TO be restored in
Brazil by the aid of outside agen-
cies. 1t is believed here that no
attempt will be made on the part
of any foreign Government to re-
sist the action of the United States
in this regard.

THOSE of our readers who know
the Hon. John L. Stevens need
no assurance that the letter
signed by him and published in
yesterdays paper, is based on in
controvertable facts, and those who
took part in the establishment of
the Provisional Government will
also bear witness to the truth of
the statement made by him as
regards the order in which the
events referred to took place. We
have never had an American
Minister here who was more care
full az to what he said and did
while in Office than Mr.. Stevens,
nor one VINO was more thoroughly
posted with the diplomatic CORE
spondence and instructions of his
home government, nor more care
full to keep within the rules pre-
scribed for his observance. AT the
same time while ever watchful to
guard the rights of his country
men, he refused to encourage any
act which seemed unjust or unlaw-
full.
Some statements in Mr.. Stevens
letter are very terse and forcible,
this for instance: "All that Amer
lean piety, American benevolence,
American schools, and American
patriotism have accomplished in
Hawaii in the past seventy years,
is now centralized in the Provis-
ional government, and stands in its
support. 1t is a government hon.
estly and ably administered, and
the best government that Hawaii
has ever had"
Again he says, and with great
force, of the revolution:
sIt was a united and irresistible
movement of the same men, with now
increased numbers, that took away
the despotic powers of King Kala-
kaua in 1857, and crushed the Wilcox
revolt of 1889. They gathered at the
Armory with their rifles in hand,
which were increased by other arms
openly carried in carriage with only
three men in charge. The only gov
eminent that existed or could exist
under those circumstances, was the
Provisional government. Whoever
denies this, has no other basis for de-
NAL than perjured affidavits, hundreds
of which are obtainable in the slums
of Honolulu at two dollars EACH"
The story of the revolution as
told by Mr.. Stevens, is correct, and
his narrative unimpeachable. And
those who know him will believe
what he says in preference to the
garbled statements of Mr.. Blount,
based on the partizan evidence of
bitter royalists.

AS AN evidence of the bitter feel
ing in the United States, we quote
this from the Springfield Union :
Secretary Gresham's announce
ment of the policy of the Admins
tration has aroused the utmost in
dignation throughout the country.
1t is worse than a blunder. It is a
crime against humanity and the
cause of liberty"

The celebrated Improved
Stone Filters are as superior
to other filters as gold to cop
per. 1t makes no difference
how thick and muddy the
water may be as it comes from
the water main, once it passes
through the filter it becomes as
clear as crystal. The impossible
lily of animalculae passing
through the porous stone
which makes the filter is APP
parent in the fact that the
smallest atoms of dirt. in the
water remain on the nigh
side" of the stone. (For medl-
cal terms, ETC., in connection
with the use of filters, apply at
the Office of the nearest

The demand for handsome
banquet and piano lamps in
creases as the holidays APP
proach and our stock is being
literally drawn upon. We are
we'll satisfied with our selec-
ton of lamps for the plain
every day as well as the
Christmas trade and our stock
of shades for both piano and
banquet lamps has never been
equalled. The various colors
are so agreeably combined that
they will harmonic with the

The keystone Beaten is king
over all contrivances for beat
ing eggs or pulping fruit for
pies, buildings or any sort OF
desserts. For making mayo
naise dressing it has no equal.
Unlike the ordinary way OF
making dressings, where the
oil has to 60 in a drop at a
time, the keystone beaten
enables one to pour in a tea
spoonful at a time. Economy
Of time is an item with the
cook or the housekeeper and
this is one way of accomplish

Fort STREET, HONOLULU.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-11-30

when approaching the Golden
cate, with smooth sea and the
usual fog the captain undertook to
enter port without a pilot, and the
result was that she ran onto the
rocks near Point Bonita, where the
City Of New York was recently
stranded. The accident was judg-
ed to have been one Of gross care
lessness, and the captain was dis
missed from service. The steamer
was badly stove in on the rocks,
and filed with water; and it APP
peared to be case where total loss
could not be avoided. The Lougee
brothers, who lately assisted in
rescuing the steamer Miowera at
the entrance of this harbor, were
applied to by the owners of the
Costa RIGA, to ascertain whether
they could save her. They had
already gained a reputation as
wreckers of stranded or sunken
vessels, and were considered
as experts in their line. The
wreck lay wedged among the
rocks, careened over, and full of
water; and while she lay in this
condition, they went under her, in
their diving apparatus, inspecting
the damage, which was very bad.
There was but one way to save her,
and that none but Yankee ingenu-
ity would ever have undertaken.
They reported the case to the own
ers, and after concluding the terms,
on which the work was to be under
taken, Immediately commenced
operations on her. The plan was
to fit board patches closely over
the rough jagged holes that the
rocks had torn in her iron bottom,
and fasten these patches on the
outside by bolts running through
cross pieces on the inside, and
screwed up tight. The work had
to be nicely and securely done
under water, while the breakers
were rolling over and around the
ship. When all the holes were
fastened, pumps were set TO work,
the water discharged from her
hold, and the ship gradually right
ed and floated off the rocks. 1t
was considered at the time, one of
the most skilful jobs of the kind
ever performed. The Lougee bro
theirs were born in Vermont, and
went to California some forty years
ago, where seeing an open field in
saving wrecked vessels, adopted
this as their business, which they
have followed ever since. They
have rescued vessels and sunken
property all along the coast from
Panama to Alaska, in China and
Japan and perhaps other places.
In Japan, during one season they
saved four vessels, including the
sunken yacht of the Emperor pre-
sented to him by Queen Victoria,
for which thev received q bonus of
$4,000. Their last work was
rescuing the large steamer Miowera,
at the entrance of our harbor. A
part of the credit belongs to Capt.
Metcalfe, who came to superintend
the work, and who, in their esti-
nation, deserves the most praise.
Such men are public benefactors,
and merit all that they earn in
their perilous vocation.

The report that President Cleve-
land intends to restore the Queen
of Hawaii to her throne is evidently
a distortion of the instructions
given to Mr.. Willis. The present
Government has been recognized
by the United States, and Minister
Willis goes out accredited to it. If
there is to be change in the Gov
eminent, the Hawaiians will have

1t is to hoped that nothing worse
than a feeling of chagrin will fol-
low the restoration of the mon
archy. But there is strong ground
for believing that it will prove a
death blow to American interests
in the Islands, and perhaps the de-
struction of these interests may be
accompanied by acts of violence
for which the American people will
hold Cleveland responsibilities. +.
