waiian islands are now playing an i'm
portant part in the distribution of our
naval fleet, and as our fixed policy is
opposed to any other power getting q
foothold in those islands, the question
of distance to reach them is becoming a
very important one. It is greatly to be
hoped that the present session OF con-
gress will not close without the passage
of measure that will insure the speedy
construction of this very important ship
canal.

THE SCHOONER PROSPER.
Safely TOwed to San Francisco by the
Tug Monarch.

Safely TOwed to San Francisco by the
Tug Monarch.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 28.-Today the
four mssted schooner Prosper arrived
from San Pedro in tow of the tug Mon
arch. The Prosper went ashore at
Newport on the night OF February 9th,
sustaining such damages that it WAS
deemed advisable to send the Monarch
south to fetch her to this port. When
the Monarch was out about one day and
a hall from San Pedro with her tow, the
schooDer's steering gear gave way. 1t
WAS only a temporary Tudder, but its
lose severely retarded the progress of
the vessel, as a heavy southwest wind
was found between Santa Barbara and
Point Conception. Another steering
gear was improvised, and by careful
work and steady pulling the Monarch
brought the Prosper safely into harbor.
The schooner will be placed on dry dock.

WE HAVE heard a number of com
plants OF csrelessness in our postofice
service OF late. Our attention was drawn
to the fact that postal card dated at
San Francisco on the 5th of February
only reached the person addressed three
or four days ago. AS it was addressed to
the care of lady who is universally
known in this city there can be no ex-
cuse for the delay in its delivery. This
is only one of numerous complaints that
have reached US recently. We do not
call public attention to these derelic-
tions for any political purpose, but to
spur the postmaster to enforce more
stringent rules amongst his ssubordinstes,
so that the public may be more accur-
