HONOLULU BEATS MoLoKAI.
Five-oared Championship Retained
by the Kapiolani Grew.

Five-oared Championship Retained
by the Kapiolani Grew.
The Kapiolani crew still hold the
championship, having met and de.
feated the Kaunakakai five-oared
crew. The latter crew sent chal-
lenge to the Kapiolanis for a whale
boat race to take place at Kauna-
kakai, the course to be four miles.
The Kapiolanis Immediately cinched
the match, and the following crew
left on Tuesday last for Molokai on
the steamer Mokolii: Kala (stroke),
Pakela, Pinao, Lapaki, Manuela
bow, Z. H. Mahuka, coIswain.
They arrived on Wednesday MORN
ing, and at 4 o'clock in the after.
noon the event took place. The
shores were lined with Molokai peo-
pie. John Mahuka from Honolulu,
and Nakaleka, Jr., acted as judges.
The course was to and around a
buoy placed two miles to sea and re-
turn. Both boats had a good start,
the Kapiolanis pulling three strokes
to the Kaunakakai's one. The Ho-
nolulus took the lead few yards
from the starting point aud were
never pushed throughout the race.
They beat by about five hundred
yards. The Kaunakakai crew adj
mitted they we're fairly beaten and
threw up the sponge. One hundred
dollars was won by the Kapiolanis.
The boat they pulled in is the pro-
perty Of the Queen.

HoNoLrLU, Feb. 9th, 1891,

Sir have the honor to ac-
knowledge receipt Of your letter OF
this date, in which you inform mo
that YOU yourself gave the statement
to the Star, upon which the offensive
paragraph Of the 9TH inst. was
based,
May point out your inaccuracy
in thinking that ! hold you IN any
way responsible for the usc the news
paper made Of the Information you
gave, 1t appears to mo that the
responsibility Of having given away
a private conversation at all for
publication without consent, is as
much as it would be- fair TO ask any
man to assume.
Your quotations from the BULLETIN
are, | venture to think, hardly
germanc To the question. | have
had no communication upon the
subject with either paper. Indeed,
! invariably sign my communications
to the press, and thus avoid the mis-
fortune Of divided responsibility
from which YOU have not escaped.
You thought fit, in our interview,
To reproach mo with seeking to im-
pose my ideas Of honor upon others.
! replied that was only conscious
Of onestaudard Of honor and that
it was my desire to- liy" rs near that
standard a. possible.
It was in rcliauc" upon that stand
ard that | complied with your re
quest for an interview, aud IN doing
50 now recognize the error | made
assume that hay" your consent
for the publication OF this CORE.

Saturday evening in Y. NJ. G. A. hall.
Disagreeable weather doubtless kept

HONOLULU, H. L., reD' Jtn, 1871
Dear Sir venture to draw your
attention to a statement published
in the Hawaiian Star on the 9TH
instant with regard to an interview
to which you invited me on Monday
last at your office.
You will NO doubt remember that
/ cordially accepted your personal
assurance that the request for an in
terview was intended as an act Of
courtesy ON your part.
The offensive paragraph in the
Star is therefore Of more Importance
to you than even to myself, and i
have waited two days in the expecta-
ton that you would communicate to
me the regret, which you no doubt
feel, at the infringement OF the rules
of courtesy towards visitor, who
relied simply on your personal as
surance.
need not remind you that the
only witness Of our interview was
one Of your own principal officials,
who saw and heard everything, al
though he had no other share in the
proceedings. This renders il un-
necessary that | should look to any
one but yourself as chief Of the de,
partment, to represent in such a
manner as you deem right, your dis,
approval Of the violence which ap'
pears To have been done to the ordi
nary rules 81 official procedure.
May add that | am sincere in the
belief that the publication Of the
paragraph in question was as dis
tasteful to yourself as il can have
been To me. am,
Faithfully yours,

Underground Railroad

The Anglo-Austrain Bank and ths
firm Of >lemens x Halske have sub
mitted to the Board OF Trade a de
tailed plan for a Vienna underground
railway. 1t is intended to be al
electric narrow-gauge railway, VIII
double rails, and should begin at tn
Danube canal. pass under the zen
trail City to where it touches tn
western suburbs, continue under tN
Maria Lillerstrasse to the weSteIN
terminus, and thence to the oul
skirts of the town to Sch0norlnl
and fenzlng, Between Seventeen
an 1 eighteen minutes would be Tux
time for getting from one end to 'A'
other. The railroad would fll
directly under the pavement Wlu
out touching the foundations OF 20
houses. A single carriage, 10 Y
started at short entervals, is meal!El
convey forty passengers in ordlaa!
times, while in the morning au
evening, and sundays and fete oal
two cars might be added. The odu
would begin to build the uhuF
ground electric railway at st's
points at once, and would comple'
it in a year from the day when u
concession is granted. The Nlenne'

PEACE OVER THE WORLD
The Three Most Recent Wars Were Civil
Wars and Two of Them We're Short.

NhTs u A"o Vi nem were snort
New York sun: From the EQUATOR
to the pol S the world is in the en-
joyment OF peace at this time. The
civil war in Salvador, which lastel
seve al wearisome weeks, has ended
in the overthrow Of President EzeIa:
the civil wal in Guatemala, which
lasted for several months, ended in
the overthrow Of President Barrios:
the civil war in Brazil, which lasted
Tor about a year and a half, ended
i'll the triumph Of the government Of
President PelNOto. Last year the
French were successful in the war in
Sian and the English were success
full in the war against LObengula in
Southern Africa. q the Spaniards
had some lighting with the Riffs Of
Morocco. But it ls many years since
there were hostilities upon a large
scale in any part Of the world, and
the people OF this generation who can
recall the last ruthless wal between
any two Of the great powers, the
FraDco-German war, must have
reached at least middle agr. All of
the wars fought since 1871 seem
small and inc0nseQuentlal when COM
pared with the colossal wars which
were waged between the rise of
Napoleon [. and the fall of Napoleon
III.
At nearly all times, however, there
are apprehenslOns OF the outbreak
Of hOStilities in ONE parts OF the
globe. hussia may come into con
tilct with England in Asia or there
may be 4 falling out between France
and Germany. or England and France,
or France and Italy. The dreaded
. Eastern question" may be raised,
or the Egyptian question, or the
Congo question. or any ore of a
dozen other questions pertaining to
national rivalries in Europe, Asia, or
Africa. Within a very short period
both Roumania and Morocco have
attracted the interest Of statesmen
and soldiers. The old saving that
"a spark may raise a contlagration"
is always in the memory OF every
European power.
But many Of the incidents which
have been regarded as ominous with.
IN recent years have been closed
without any violation of the public
peace: and perhaps some of these
incidents which awake apprehension
In these times may also be thus
peac fully closed.
AT all events, the whole world is
now at peace, and that part OF it in
whlch peace seems to be the hest

Kochins, the Shans. and the Bur-

bands were going about killing,
manning, and robbing. II the vic.

maybe he would be anyway. If they
got very angry at those who resisted
they would cut their arms off at a
blow, or cut them off piece by pie e
with their hatchets. Sometimes a
mans arm was cut in half a dozen
or pieces. There were many
other instances of great cruelty.
Luckily for us we were not attacked.
though we hardly know how we es-
capped. kiCg Theebaw, as has since
been learned, was cognizant Of the
work OF the Dacoits and even en-
Outraged them, while he received a
good share Of the profits. But the
British Government has taken him in
hand. He has been deposed and sent
to India, along with his retinues,
where he is now receiving several
thousand dollars a year. Things are,
therefore, changed in upper Burmah.
1t is peaceable and free from anything
Of that kind.
