inStcn 10 have an interview with Chair
man Blanchard. Of the House committee.
on the subject OF Improvements Of Nor
folk harbor
Admiral Brown, of the Norfolk navy
yard. whose views the committee desire
TO submit to the chairman, has written
letter on the subject In which he sets
forth the importance Of deepening the
hartof. He says We have under coRstruc-
ton the New York. Massachusetts. In
diana. oregon. Iowa, Brooklyn, Columbia
and Minneapolis. all Of which, when COM
pleted and equipped for service. will draw
so much water as to make it Impractical
bic for them 10 enter this harbOr and
reach the yard.
To the minds OF several officers the fact
is a most serious one. for In the event Of
any of the above named vessels reaching
Hampton Roads and requiring repairs
and docking, they could not enter the
harbor without being lightened and towed
by several powerful tugs and dragged over
the many shoai places. and this at only
the highest tides. Such an operation
would be injurious TO the ships. and
would be at the risk of her stocking. in
which event the channel would become
Dlockaded and the entrance and exit OF
the many deep-ladcn merchant steamers
thereby rendered impossible.
In view Of the above. the Admiral SAYS
he thinks i; imperative that there should
not lie less than twenty-eight feet Of
water at low tide.
IL 1hc government constructs powerful
ships they must necessarily draw consid-
cradle water, and IL il important that
these ships should be able TO reach the
Norfolk navy yard.

AMERICAN NAVAL STATIONS.

The rapid destruction of war
ships, during the recent battle be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese
vessels, creates considerable ex-
element among navy men In
Washington. AS these vessels con-
tain many steam and electric en-
gines, used in the navigation OF
the vessels, and the movement OF
the guns, this machinery is la
BILE to great destruction. Besides
this, the use of large guns carrying
shot and shell of enormous weight,
makes the injury far greater than
that done by the light, old-fash-
toned guns. There is, therefore,
need of many and efficient dock
yards, to which injured vessels may
resort at once for repairs.
The importance of the Pearl
Harbor station for the use of the
American navy becomes more i'm
perative since the late sea fights.
The distance between the Asiatic
and Chinese coast is so great, that
a middle station is absolutely nec-
essary for quick operations.
'The unexpected always hap
pens" Naval men believed that
the exhaustive and final tests of
the efficiency of modern war ships,
in actual combat would take place
between the European powers. In
stead of this being the case, the
first and most important test takes
place, with modern ships, between
those nations who have had the
least experience in naval warfare,
and between nations whose atti-
tude toward the United States, is
Of much greater Importance to
them, than the attitude of the Eu-
ropean nations.

HYPNOTISM IN SURGERY.
Experiments Before a Committee of

gagged we'll known hypnotist to
demonstrate the value of hypnotism
in medical science. The doctors
secured a young man, resident of
this city, to consent to be the profess
sor's subject. The professor placed
him in a hypnotized state upon an
operating table. The doctors ap-
piled the most severe tests in the
way of liniments to the subjects
stomach, without any effect. They
also ran needles through the thick
part of the hand without the subject
experiencing any pain. Upon being
brought out of that state he did not
know what had been done to him.
The doctor hypnotized several other
subjects and put them to severe tests.
The doctors decided that hypnotism
could be used in surgery with great
success.

CANAIGRE.

While the matter of the cultiva,
ton of canaigre is attracting much
attention here, it is wise to look
closely at the commercial side OF It,
Already its cultivation has begun
in California on large scale, and
there is a vast territory open to 1t
in New Mexico and Arizona. Time
only will settle thr question OF over
production. Mr.. D. B. Mason, the
Vice-Consul General of the United
States in Vienna, has lately sent to
the State Department, in Washing
ton, a valuable paper on the subject,
in which he states that the chemists
are agreed that the tanning mater
ial of the canaigre is especially ex-
cellent. As TO commercial value,
he says:
at is very similar to gambler in
its tanning properties, and, if 1t is
ever TO be exported In large guam
titles to Europe, it will have, for
the amount of tanning power, to be
as cheap as, or cheaper, than the
last named article. 1t is for this
reason that gambler has particular
Importance for everyone interested
in the sale of canaigre."
This statement of its probable
value is important in making an
estimate of the profits to be made
out of it.
While the tanning material de-
rived from the use of bark, is de-
creasing slowly in quantity, every
year, it will not be exhausted for
many years, and canaigre will
come in competition with it. There
is no reason for any discourage
ment in pushing its culture here,
but the safest course is, to make
moderate experiments, at first.

OPINIONS ABOUT AMERICA.

Ka Leo (Royalist journaD inn
pressively gives reasons "why the
Hawaiians cannot join the Gov.
eminent of the United States
That government, named a re-
public of starving millions, is
acknowledged by its leading men
to be as corrupt a condition as a
government possibly can be-" and,
1T is not a desirable government
for any one to become a citizen of,
unless he has ample means, and is
INSCRIPTIONS and ready to take
every advantage of his neighbor /;
he must be unprincipled and with
out honor" and "the people of Ha-
wall would be fools to agree to an
nexation to America"
What, now, have the people of
the United States to say ? Are they
deserving of the acute pain they,
and each of them must feel, at this
crushing comment on their char
acter by the purest and most
learned journal of Hawaii ? Even
if the people of the States have not
made such great strides in educa-
ton. commerce, and all material
prosperity as the natives have, Mr..
Bush shouldn't twit them about
their shortcomings. Far better, if
he, and Mr.. Nawahi would travel
through the States, as apostles
of Hawaiian purity and nobility of
character, exhibiting themselves as
the consummate flowers of native
civilization, teaching the backward
and besotted youth of America the
glory and sweetness of their own
lives. And they could do nothing
less than found great institution
in the States, within which the am
bilious young men of that vast con-
tinent may learn to love poi and
gin," those two precious substances,
which the other royalist journal,
the Holomua, says are the glory or
shame of Hawaii, it doesn't know
which.
There is something pathetic in
the spectacle of compact, vigor-
GUS, enlightened race, though few
in numbers, with an intrepid
Moses, like Mr.. Bush, as its leader,
casting the people of the United
States into the outer darkness. 1t
reminds us of the editorial in
