British estimates was sufficient to ill.,

has insisted that Arguello, who was
charged with killing the American,
Wilson, shall be promptly tried. He
also notified the Nicaraguan authori-

citizens are not being adequately pro-

to give them the necessary protection.
He is acting with that end in view.

THF LIEUTENANT'S SCHEME.
A German Army Officer Who Don't
Like to Wear Clothes.

On the Australia Saturday there
arrived lieutenant of the German
army, who, if reports be true, has
decided to give up his former war
like avocation and adopt the ways
of peace in a novel manner. Like
our own and only Kekipe, he has
founded a new kind of religion,
and has come here in search of
suitable place to bring his disci-
Piles. The lieutenant's name is
Boeter, and he is a good thing.
Lieutenant Boeter is a fruitar-
ian. Just what fruitarian is, only
Lieutenant Boeter and his follow
ers know. If it only meant that
they lived on fruit it would be very
easy to understand. But the new
sect has very advanced ideas on
other subjects, and these ideas are
such that they will create a revo-
luton among mankind if they are
carried out.
A recent number of the San
Francisco Call tells all about the
new ideas the Lieutenant intends
to spring on the unsuspecting Ha-
waiians. His great and only idea
is that it is not necessary to wear
any clothes. This has until re-
Gently been considered, to say the
least, improper. But the Lieutenant
does not think so. He says that
it is mock modesty to wear any
clothes, and he goes on the princi-
pie that to the pure all things are
pure.
Lieutenant Boeter has eaten
nothing but fruit for nearly a year.
He says that he used to be sickly,
but that since he began his strange
diet, he has gained steadily in
health and is now a robust
man. All this he gives the fruit
the credit for. He says that meats
and vegetables that grow under
ground are not intended for mans
consumption, and that it is in di-
rect contravention to the commands |
of the bible to use them.
The lieutenant has some idea of |
buying one of the islands and |
founding a colony on it. He is
said to be very wealthy, and money |
is no object with him. Just what isl |
and will suit his fancy is not known |
at present; but, with sugar at its
present price, he evidently has an
idea that he could buy Oahu for a
song. However, Makee island will |
probably come nearer his figure.

American News.

The coal strikers on the coal mine
throughout the country are still out
ard in several places in Pennsylvania
have resoTted to bloodshed and vio-
lence to prevent the operation of
mines by men who aid not desire to
strike. In many instances these un-
fortunates who We're working to keep
their families from starving were
beaten into insensibility by the strik-
ers and so badly used up that they
cannot continue work.
The latest strike is that of the Pull
man employs at Pullman, Illinois,
numbering 4OeO. They demand a re-
storation of the wages of 1898, which
were cut 331 per cent. Pullman the
Palace Car King, says he cannot pay
such wages and declares that be is
now losing money on contracts he
took to keep his men at work. The
latter decline to believe this story and
the strike may be long one. In
Chicago, there are about 5000 men
on strike or locked out.
The jury that tried General F"
Coxey, the commonweal leader, found
him guilty as charged. The charge
was carrying a flag upon the capitol
grounds and walking on the grass.
Carl Browne was acquitted. Coxey
will be fined.
A committee of the House is con
the bills proposed by Coxey,
which provides for employing the idie
men of the country in making good
roads, and also for non interest bear-
ing bonds.

ELECTRIC ROAD.
Mr.. GirVin Points Out It's Feast
bility.

OF Mr.. Waterhouse Of a bonus of
$4,000 to any company which will
build and equip an electric car
line to the Pail from the city and
noting also the omniverous fran
chise which the present street car
company has covering the possi-
BILE approaches to the centrel Of
the city, it would appear as ifit
were not feasible to construct an
electric street car system in that
direction which could by any pos
sibility be made remunerative. On
a careful study of the map of Ho-
nolulu and its environs, l can see
plan for a line which will take a
sweep of the city, from its COM
mercial centre and through the
best part of the city, giving ingress
and egress to the masses and in no
way interfering with the franchise
of the present company. By a
clause in the franchise of the latter
another company may obtain the
privilege of running on or over
the field of said company at
any part, but to no greater
extent than 100 lineal feet.
With this privilege it is possible
to construct a line which will be
twenty miles in length and which
will accommodate a large proper
ton of the inhabitants, and would
have the effect of opening up many
delightful residential sites. As to
how far such a plant would be
remunerative to the stockholders l
am unable to determine. l be-
lieve, however, that the building of
it would be aided by such gentle
men as Mr.. Waterhouse, and by
grants both from the Government
and private individuals whose
lands would be thereby opened to
investors.
If your readers care to follow the
description of the route l propose,
and which they will admit to be
exceedingly interesting and pic
turesque l append it. Commenc-
ing at Wilder's corner on Queen
street ; thence along Queen to Rich
ard street; up Richard to Hotel /;
along Hotel to a connection with
King street at the Nuuanu stream
thence along King to Liliha
street; along Liliha to Kuakini
street; along Kuakini to Nuuanu
street and from thence to the
Pail (seven and a half miles). |
Returning down the valley to
Nuuanu street and Pauoa road /; |
along said road to the road skirting
Punchbowl, thence along said road
to Aiapai street, thence along Luna
lilo street to Makiki street, down |
said street to Beretania street,
thence out to and past Moiliili |
church to a connection with the
road leading down through Kapio-
lani Park encircling the same, and
into the city along the
makai or beach road, through Ka-
kaako to Punchbowl street, along
said street to Queen street, and |
back to place of beginning.
This is a line which, with the
exception of the Valley road, would
be laid On streets already graded,
and could be comparatively cheaply
built on that account. The track
being wider than that of the pres
ent company, it would in no way
interfere, and only in three in
stances would it overlay. The idea
Of climbing to the Pail by cleo
tricity is of small moment, as
heavier gradients are mounted by
that means in San Diego, Seattle,
etc When Honolulu has cable
with the Coast and the
canal Is built there will
be need for more than such a road
here.

The Hawaiian Matter.

President Cleveland recently in
formed a member of the House Foreign
Relations Committee that advices had
been received from Hawaii indicating
that no trouble is likely to follow the
formation of new government, and
that the change would be accOmp-
lished in a very few weeks.
The President feels confident that a
republican form of government for the
Islands is assured, based on consti-
tuition similar in terms TO that OF the
United States, and that the admins
tration will be composed of members
about equally divided between the
present Provisional party and the
factions opposed to the deposed queen,
but not now represented in President
Dole's Cabinet.
Reports asserting that Admiral
Walkers mission to the Islands was
for the purpose of being on hand to
influence the convention in standing
by the party in power TO give the
moral support of the United States in
reaching q settlement of affairs, are
said TO be unfounded.
The statement made by the Presi-
dent showed cOnclusively that
Walkers assignment had nothing
whatever to do with Hawaiian affairs
in general, but is for the sole purpose
