bell and belfry were among the missing.
There were great Scared marks on the
deck planking, over which the cargo der
ricks had been hauled. One must have
fallen by the way, for the bulwark rails
were smashed and bent and the iron side

It's the governor" said the skipper.

Then We'll be shot by that black-and-
tan regiment-our regiment. What's the

what they want" said Mr.. Wardrop.
In his simple way the governor was
strategist. He did not desire that the
crew of the Haliotis should come ashore
again. either singly or in detachments, and
he proposed to turn their steamer into a
convict hulk. They would wat-he eX
planned this from the quay to the skipper
in the barge-and they would continue to
actly where they were. If one of them
set foot ashore, the entire regiment would
open fire, and he would not scruple to use
the one cannon of the town. Meantime
food would be sent daily in, a boat under
an armed escort. The skipper. bare to the
waist, and rowing, could only grind his
teeth. and the governor improved the &C.
Casion, and revenged himself for the bitter
words in the cables by telling what he
thought of the morals and manners of the
crew. The barge returned to the Haliods
In silence and the skipper climbed aboard

The man-of-war had lowed them to the
nearest port, not to the headquarters of the
colony, and when Mr.. Wardrop saw the
dismal little harbor, with its ragged line of
Chinese junks its one crazy tug the boat
building shed. that, under the charge Of a
philosophical Malay, represented a dock

They were marched ashore with what
they stood up in, under a generous escort,
and were judged according to the customs
OF the country, which, though excellent, are
out of date. There were the pearls; there
were the poachers, and there sat a small
but hot governor He consulted for awhile
and then things began to move with speed,
for he did not wish to keep hungry crew
at large on the beach, and the man-of-war
mad gone up the coast. With a wave of his
hand-a stroke Of the pen was not neces-
sary-he consigned them to the blackgang-
tana, the back country, and the hand of the
law removed them from his sight and the
knowledge of men. They were marched in
to the palms and the back country swal-
lowed them up-all the crew of the Haliotis.

The man-of-war was ANNOYED, for she lad
used up many tons of coal: she had strained
her engines, and, worse than all, her officers

A Triumph Of Elementary Edncntion.

A Triumph OF Elementary Education
The following little incident happened
a day or two ago in London suburb. A
boOtmaker's apprentice, a lad of about Ii.
delivered a pair OF boots at q trademark 8
house. The Trademarks wife, accustomed
to orderly business ways, asked the lad,
after handing him the money for the
boots, TO receipt the bill. At this request
the lad showed the greatest confusion, so
that the woman, to reassure him, said,
Just receipt it, as a matter OF business"
Whereupon ho wrote laborously some
thing on the paper In the evening,
when the tradesman examined the papers
on the spike, he came upon a boot
makers bill, at the foot of which was
written in large letters in a schoolboy
hand, LAS a matter of business" 1t was
the youthful apprentices literal inter-
probation OF the demand for receipt as a
matter of business. ss.-Westminster Re-

THE thousands of Asiatics on the
Islands behaved themselves SPLEEN
didly during the instruction.
Their commendable conduct is nota-
Bile for many reasons. The Chinese
have assimilated to some degree
with the natives, but retain their
rare good judgment and averseness
to useless conflict They are a
peaceful people here, and to a man
favor the new order political.
Had they so minded, the Japan
csc might have made no end of
trouble. The body of them know
less of Hawaii than the Chinese,
who have been a factor in Island
population and affairs many years.
The friendly, sensible demeanor
of the japanese is due almost solely
to the wisdom of their diplomats
and leading men here.

The two scat traps still hold popularity

the demand for these very convenient and

NO PILIkIA.

THE STAR does not apprehend
any serious results from the sum-
mary deportation Of a trio OF CON
spirators. There are times when
the bull must be taken by the
horns, as it were. Deviation OF the
rule of a fair trial for everybody is
rarely warranted. In this instance
the police department madea show
ing that justified extraordinary
action and warranted the sanction
of the Cabinet. The Government
was fully advised.
The individual cases of Grams
toun, Mueller and Johnston merit
little, if any attention. The points
made by those who condemn the
Punishment are not to be passed
over lightly. The responsible men
know that they are near the danger
line. They realize the possibility
of embarrassing results and the
likelihood of injustice being done
in certain cases. They are well
aware that the precedent has lis
encumbrances, present and future
All these things were considered ii
advance.
This paper is by no means Ell
thusiastic over the new departure
But we admire decisive action,
commend courage and proclaim
the conviction that the Govern.
ment is as capable Of working on
this line as on any other.
As we understand it now,
Major Halves, 7. Rain Walker,
Minister Willis, Consul Mills and
Consul Hackfeld all agreed that
the Republic knew what it was
doing. THE STAR is not in the
business of abusing Minister
Willis just now. But if he com
mits an overt act" watch the fur
ay. 1t is true, we learn, that Mr..
Willis is rather free with counsel
and comment. Most recent Ameri
