THE NAVY AT HONOLULU.

We believe it to be a fact that
| while the officers and men of our war
| ships in Hawaiian waters have scrup-
ulously obeyed orders, and have re-
Trained from undue demonstrations
of a political character, their sym
pathies have been very decidedly
with the Provisional Government
that now rightfully rules in the
islands.
In this attitude they simply share
the sentiments of the American PEG
pie, of which they are worthy repres-
entatives. We know that Capt.
Wiltse, shortly before his lamented
death, expressed his pride at the
part which it had become his duty
to take, under the direction of the
American Minister, in preserving ord
er and protecting American interests
at Honolulu. He was glad that the
opportunity had been his to land
forces from the Boston on that occa-
sion, regarding, as he did, the down
fall of the throne and of the Consti
tuition defying queen as being IN
consonance with American sentiment
and American destiny.
The navy. too, has furnished many
ardent advocates of annexing Hawaii,
on the ground OF its strategic and
commercial Importance to our coun-
try. 1t is the great way station be-
tween the United States and China,
Australia, and the South Seas. Naval
officers pointed out the value of
Pearl River Harbor as coaling stat
ion, and from Capt. Mahan has come
the most elaborate and convincing
argument for the annexation of
Hawaii on military grounds.
A significant indication of the real
sympathy OF our crews at Honolulu
was furnished by the order which it
was thought expedient to issue, some
time ago, forbidding them to wear
insignia and emblems belonging to
the political interests Of the islands.
There was probably little fear of their
parading In the streets with royalist
tokens on their garments; but some
of them already wore tokens of sym
patty with the opposite sentiment.
Again, when MIR. Willis arranged
that no salute should be fired on the
recent anniversary day of the new
Government, and the ships should
not be dressed in honor of the occa-
sion, the disappointment aboard was
general. The men would gladly
have gone ashore and taken part in
the parade.
The officers and men of the Phila
delphia and the Adams may have
had less to do for free Hawaii, than
their predecessors Of the Boston.
But they are no less true in feeling
to American interests there, and the
day cannot be far distant when our
ships Will visit Honolulu as an Amer
lean port.-N. Y. Sun.

ALWAYS FOR ANNEXATION.

In the Councils yesterday, Mr..
Tenney Intercepted the Minister
of Foreign Affairs regarding an ar
ticle which appeared in the Star
the day before, and which intimat-
ed that the Government would not
favor annexation at all unless the
islands could be governed some
thing as the District of Columbia
is, thus denying the franchise to
the natives.
Mr.. Hatch of course repudiated
any responsibility for the editorial
in question, and emphatically dis
avowed for the Government any
sympathy with its sentiments.
The Government is fully COM
mitted to the policy of annexation,
without any reservation as to the
form under which annexation shall
take place. The original procla-
nation upon which the Govern
ment is founded, made no reserva-
tions or limitations upon this sub
Ject. Annexation as State, as q
territory, as district governed by
commissioners, like the District o.

FULLY FULFILLED.

The Ministers were called upon
yesterday to state what was the
attitude of the American Minister
regarding restoration, so far as
they had any information on the
subject. In response Minister
Hatch read a letter from the
American Minister in which the
latter states that his Especial in
structicns" were fully fulfilled.
The necessity of some declara-
ton of this kind is clearly shown
by the attitude of the Holomua
and the native papers, which still
strenuously declare that the queen
will be restored by Mr.. Cleveland.
The Holomua for instance, speak
ing of Mr.. Cleveland says: "He
has, publicly before the world, de-
clared that he will restore the
status quo ante in Hawaii, and
there is not the slightest indication
that he has abandoned his policy"
The purpose Of talk of this kind is
too obvious to require statement.
It aims to prevent the natives from
taking any part in the approach
ing election, and the article closes
with an earnest exhortation to
them not to take the oath.
Unless the natives can be salts
fed as to the intentions OF the
United States Government regard
ing restoration, these tactics will
probably succeed with the native
Hawaiians of the more ignorant
Sort. as they will be restrained
from taking the oath by the fear of
consequences to ensue after "restor-
alton"

REGARDING the rate of wages for
farm laborers in California, noticed
by correspondent in the ADvER-
TIsER yesterday, we are informed
by Judge Bronson, who has resided
in Southern California for twenty
five years, and has had large ex-
perience with all classes of laborers,
that the rate of wages by the month,
with board, is now 81 per day, and
that it cannot be obtained for less.
This rate, with the price of board
added, would bring the same result
as that stated by the Government
port-$36.50. Judge Bronson
also states that, in Los Angeles,
the amount paid to ordinary labor
ers who are employed as matter
of charity is $50 per day. The
Chinese farm laborers are paid $26
per month, without board.

ONE of the most curious of
Blouut's plumbers is his statement
made to the Senate Com mittee
that United States Treasury notes
were as plentiful in Honolulu as in
the United States, and that, so far
as he was aware, there were no
Hawaiian issues of paper. If this
little instance furnishes a fair in

contents of his report need surprise
no one.

Hardware Co., Honolulu.
DEAR SIR:-I have just completed some
three miles of the Jones Locked Fence"
and must say that am very much pleased
with it, in fact it is THE fence for ranch.
L had about a mile to construct over
'pahoehoe," where it was nearly impos-
sible to get post down and found, in this
case especially, the Jones Fence was
great saving of labor. There are places in
this fence where the posts are ct least rs
feet apart, the space between filled in with
stays. There is no sag to it and it is as
springy as wire mattress. am confident
that it will turn ordinary stock.
1 have some two and a half miles more
to construct over country where wild cat
tie are very plentiful and as soon as it has
undergone the test there will write you
further. If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land. and l am confident it will,
you can rest assured that it will turn most
anything except lava flow.
Very truly yours,
j. MONSARRAT.

condition. Vaseline and salves are very
good, bat none of them can do the work
of first class toilet soap. As said,
a toilet soap is neutral. A person could

Nitrous Oxide Gns.

Nitrous oxide gas is combination of
nitrogen and oxygen, formerly called the
dephlogisticated nitrous gas. Under Or
dinary conditions of temperature and
pressure this substance is gaseous; it has
a sweet taste and faint, agreeable odor.
When inhaled, 1t produces unconscious
ness and insensibility to pain. hence it is
used as an an@sthetic during short surgi-
cal operations. When it is breathed dilut-
ed with air, an exhilarating or intoxicat-
ing effect is produced, under the infiu-
ence Of which the inhaler is irresistibly
impelled to do all kinds of silly and ex-
travagant acts; hence the old name Of
laughing gas. The circumstances under
which nitrous oxide should be applied as
an an@sthetic must always be determin-
ed, just as with any other an@sthetic,
by medical authority.-Brooklyn Eagle.

WATER LOCATION SENSE.
The Strange Faculty Possessed by Some
Reptiles Even When Decspitated.

The Strange Faculty Possessed by Some
Reptiles Even When Dccspitated.
Reptiles and batrachians usually JOS
sess what may be termed the water To-
cation sense.
My attention was first called to this
by my brother, who, while engaged in
, natural history expedition in south
eastern Texas, had what at the time we
both considered unique experience
with large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised some
distance from the water, among the
sand dunes that line the gulf shore, and
ON being overtaken had its head chop
ped off preparatory to serving as very
toothsome addition to our diet. Much
to the surprise of tho party the behead-
ed animal continued on its way toward
the water.
Several times IL was turned around,
entirely or part way, but every time it
was able to right its position perfectly
and again make directly for the water.
At tho timo this was narrated to me
was of the opinion that there must
have been something in the contour of
the land that enabled the tortoise to
regain tho correct direction in each
case.
Since then I have had numerous
proofs that this ability belongs to a
number of species of these animals in
the West Indies, and that the loss of
eyes and nasal organs, of the entire
head and neck, in fact, apparently
works no Inconvenience to them in this
particular. This is n family character
istic which, so far as | have been able
to find, is not alluded to in any work
concerning them.
The same singular ability may be OBJ
served in certain species of water fre-
qucnting snake. Tho common water
snake, often enormously called the
water moccasin, almost invariably
finds its way to tho water, if not too far
away, when its head is cut off.-St.

MYSTERIOUS ELECTRICITY.
The Human Mind May Never Solve tho
Problem Of What IL IL.

Problem Of what II Il.
To the metaphysical mind on the one
hand and TO the confident ignoramus on
the other the mysterious nature Of elec-
tricity offers fruitful subject of specu-
lation. To the latter especially IT seems
breproach that the true nature of cleo
tricity has not long before been made
manifest, and he Is always prepared to
dash off an explanation with much more
confidence than Newton proposed his
theory Of gravitation. II seems inexpli-
cable to the public at large that the mys-
terry surrounding electricity is not dis
PEELED. IL does not seem to occur to
those who are impatient to have the
great question, "What is electricity"
answered that we are in just as dense
ignorance as to the mechanism of other
phenomena. Gravitation, light, heat
and chemical action are in the same
category of scientific mysteries and have
had centuries more of thought bestowed
on them than has been devoted to the
new agent. While 1t now seems that
we may be on the threshold of one of
the greatest discoveries of the human
mind, yet it is possible, and even proba-
ble, that the knowledge Of man may
never be permitted to extend TO the en-
tire solution of the problem, for 1t is the
very problem Of the universe itself.
Assuming what seems to be unques-
toned, that electricity, electrical action
or whatever we may call It, has its seat
in the atoms or molecules of matter or
of the hypothetical matter, ether, we
are brought face to face with the same
conditions that confront the cosmical
philosopher. AS the latter can never
hope to have his material vision extend
to the bounds of the universe, neither
can the molecular physicist hope to ma
terially appreciate the ultimate elements
of matter. Lord Kelvin has shown that
IL n drop of water were magnified to the
size of the earth one of its constituent
molecules would only be magnified to
approximately the size of cricket
ball. Bearing this in mind, the inn
mensity of the problem which is so often
hippantly referred to is evident. True,
we may demonstrate the exact relation
between electricity and magnetism and
may satisfactorily connect these with
other phenomena and even obtain a
working hypothesis that will answer all
scientific needs, but the ultimate solu-
tion may forever evade the human mind.
Whatever we do learn, however, will
not be through the speculations of meta.
physicians or the guesses of tyros, but
through the physical investigations Of
Hertzes and Teslas. While as mental
training metaphysical speculation may
have it's use, the absolute lack Of addi
tions to our real knowledge during the
many centuries from Plato to Bacon
when metaphysics held full sway, is con
elusive that nothing can be expected
from this direction, and merely specula
tive theories in regard to the nature oi
electricity deserve as little considera
ton as is now given to the metaphysics
vagaries of the schoolmen Of the middl,
ages.-Electrical World.

Force of Habit.

Speaking of force of habit, some
years ago there was an iron railing
around the capitol grounds at Washing

for a watchman to close and lock the
