HONOR TO VICTORY.
Patriotic Japanese Cole
brate The Peace.
"a Most Orderly Fete.

The great preparations made
by the Japanese during the last
few weeks we're completed on
Friday evening and on Saturday
the great holiday came off, and it
was a perfect success. The pa
triots who assisted in the celebra-
,tion of this national holiday
deserve the greatest credit for
the orderly manner in which the
programme for the day was
carried out. The whole aff,ir
resembled rather a merry Sunday
school fair, than fete of warlike
people. in honor of great war.
Every thing was jolly and every
body was good natured. Sake
seemed to have been tabued and
there was hardly a "loaded" Jap
to be seen.
Early in the morning the navy
proceeded to the Legation on Nu-
uanu street, The navy con-
sisted of a miniature cruiser
Shinod Khan, and was quite an
Ingenious piece of toy. The
crew on board consisted Of q
venerable--looking "Admiral, ;
with an opera glass in his hand
and crew of "middies." The
rest of the crew in imitation nava
uniforms followed on foot anc

Shortly after appeared the
"army." The gorgeous uniforms
of the different military corp:
presented unique spectacle

staffs were on horseback ant

Test It.

1t has been a surprise to a
great number of people that
the jurisdiction of the military
commission recently in session,
and thelegality Of it's sentences,
and consequent imprisonment
of a number of citizens have
not been tested by our highest
tribunal. Under a writ of
habeas corpus the questions
can be brought up, and it
seems to us q matter of great
Importance to the country that
the questions involved be solv-
ed and a precedent established
one way or the other.
A military commission was
established by an order of the
Commander-in- Chief, and full
power was given it to act as a
court of justice, and try men
charged with offenses commit
ted under martial law as well
as previous to it's being declar-
ed. The learned attorney for
many of the defendants object
ed in each and every case to
the jurisdiction and legal stand
ing of the commission. He
was over-ruled by the commits
sion, and the question was vir-
tually reserved for the Supreme
Court to decide.
1t would now be interesting
to know if the said Court will
sustain the claim for .jurisdic-
tion made by the commission,
the constitutionality of the ap-
pointment of the military court
and the legality of it's trying
statutory offenses alleged to
have been committed previous
to the PRONUNCIATION Of martial
law.
The Supreme Court should
be placed on record in this
matter without delay. A de-
cision by the bench will be OF
vast interest not alone to the
country but to the foreign gov
ernments and their iurists who
watch the doings of Mr.. Dole's
republic.
Why so long time has gone
by without any steps being
taken to settle this vital ques-
tion is beyond our comprehen-
sion. 1t is rumored that the
President has signified the in
tention of the government to
grant a full or partial pardon
: to the prisoners in the near
future. 1t has been limited
that a large number of the
friends of the prisoners yet be-
lieve in interference from Eng
land, Japan, Mars or some
other "furrin" country. 1t has
even been whispered that the
patriots" hate to dig up the
necessary costs. Whatever the
reason may be-and we sin
cerely hope that the frst-men
toned is the true one-no de
lay should be tolerated an.

should be heard from at once

If any of the "trooly loil''
lawyers chuckled inwardly over
the abatement of competition
from having rivals deported
across seas for political causes,
their merry satisfaction must
be rapidly turning to dismay as
they see the roll of practition-
ers rapidly lengthening with
the names of strangers. There
are few passenger vessels ar
irving now without having at
least one lawyer aboard coming
to work the prolific fields of
Hawaiian litigation. If the
newcomers will stimulate the
bar into more energy on behalf
of clients, their crowding OF
the ranks will not have been
an unmixed evil. In some
years past "the laws delays"
in Hawaii have been due more
to dilatoriness of the profession
than any lack of judicial ma
chinery. Latterly, however,
the judges have worked con-

Medical Electrlcltr.

While electricity has been part ana
parcel of certain classes of medical
treatment for many years, but few
reputable physicians professed to know
what it did and why il cured. or was
said to cure disease. There was some
thing mysterious in the buzzing and
tingling that accompanied its employ
ment, and possibly the absorption of
the mind and the idea that some I'M
known power was working in the sys-
tenn did as much good as any other
form of treatment OF late however,
there have been some important dis
coveries in this line, and as result the
action Of electricity is utilized to dis
seminate or drive into the system vari-
GUS remedial agents that produce given
effects. As the current passes through
or along the body, it carries with it the
element that is to be incorporated with
the tissues, and in this way has a fixed
and perceptible action.

As it is known that spontaneous
combustion sometimes takes place in
cargoes of coal, it has been said that
under certain conditions enormous
coal fields may ignite and in time pro-
duce volcanoes. Occasional and vio-
lent eruptions may be caused by the
burning away of barriers and the in
flow of water suddenly producing an
enormous bulk of steam, which must
find an outlet The idea that clean
cotton may take FIRE spontaneously is
secuted by any experts. They claim
that what is called by this name is the
result of some spark that may smolder
unobserved for weeks and then may
break out in some unsupported fashion.

Among the new and significant the
cries IN medicine is that of discovering
the disease Of the patient by means of
a thorough sweating. Those who have
undergone this process in a vapor cab
met have not failed 10 observe that
there are exudations in quantity upon
the surface OF the body These are to
be examined, and from them the ex-
perienccd practitioner may decide upon
the disease with almost unfailing pre-
cision The bacilli are thrown out
with the perspiration and other impur-
titles, sometimes literally swarming in
the moisture that comes from the body.
This promises to be one Of the most
important discoveries of the age. and
will. when thoroughly systematized,
make obscure diseases practically I'M
known. II Is not generally understood
that almost all fevcrs might be broken
up and colds cured by the simple alco-
hol vapor bath. All that is necessary
is suitable chair and tcnt-like cab
met or cover enveloping the body to
the throat. A gill Of alcohol is put
into a cup placed in a dish of cold
water. The alcohol is then set or fire
and placed under the patients chair in
the cabinet. In twenty minutes or
half an hour the most copious perspira-
tion will appear, literally washing out
disease germs by the million This
discovery marks an important advance
in the theory and practice Of diagnosis.
