there were no ladies TO "Oh' and
"Ah," the editors gave voice to their
appreciation of the beautiful surround
ings as best they could without the
assistance of printers ink. At five
minutes of eleven the party arrived
at the end of the road, and were re-
ceived by Manager Ahrens of the
Waianae plantation. They were trans
ferred to the plantation train, and
seated on the cross boards went on
through the cane fields and groves of
the plantation. a stop was made at
the pumping plant, where Manager
Ahrens explained the workings of the
pump, which sends out two and a
quarter million gallons of water a day
through the cane fields. On the re-
turn a bountiful lunch was spread in
the directors cars, and the editors
demonstrated their appreciation of the
labors of the culinary department.
Then came cigars and an hours stroll
about the mill and the settlement. At

bound.
Just before leaving, Frank Godfrey
suggested that the delegates 90 into

II. NJ. Whitney was made chairman
and George Manson secretary, and
Godfrey did the talking. On
motion the secretary was instructed
to draw up a resolution conveying a
vote of thanks to the railroad COM
pany, Manager Ahrens of the Waia-
nae plantation and Fred G. Smith, the
general passenger agent of the rail-
road.
In accordance with the above, Sec
retary Manson drafted the following,
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Honolulu press representatives who
have this day been the recipients of
the courtesies of the Oahu Railroad
and Land Company and the Waianae
plantation are hereby rendered to the
management of both companies, and
especially to Manager Ahrens for his
kindness in escorting the party over
the plantation, and to Fred G. Smith,
who by his courteous care and atten-
tion has made our first trip over the
Waianae extension both a pleasant
and memorable one.
The above resolution was carried
unanimously and the secretary in
structed to forward copies to Messrs.
Ahrens and Smith.

Claim Made That the Bay City Is the
Shortest Route From Nicaragua
Canal Terminus to Japan-Great Coal
ing Station and Naval Rendezvous

NEW York, June l5.-The rribunes
Washington correspondent telegraphs
as follows: Captain Sigsby, a naval
photographer, has developed a re
markable fact relative to steam navi-
CATION on the Pacific ocean, which
seems to indicate that the strategical
Importance of the Hawaiian Islands
is not so great as has been asserted.
1t has been customary to draw straight
lines on the map of the Pacific from
the chief ports of the American conti-
nent and Asia, which, intersecting
near Honolulu, were alleged to dem
Onstrate the central position of that
harbOr as the natural stopping point
in transpacific voyages.
1t is well known, however, that q
great circle of the earth is the shortest
line between any points on the globe,
and in the investigation of the steamer
routes which would have to be adopt
ed on the completion of the Nicaragua
canal, it was discovered that the har-
Dor of San Francisco was incompara-
bly, more important than any other on
the Pacific, while Honolulu was over
1000 miles off the most direct steamer
route on all voyages between North
American and Asiatic ports.
Taking the harbor of BritO, the
western terminus Of the projected ca
nal, and assuming that much of the
traffic through the canal will be car
ried to and from Yokohama and
HoDgkong, the discovery is made that.
San Francisco is the most favorably
located coaling point on the route. A
great circle from Brito to Yokohama
cuts Yucatan, Texas, Utah and Ore
gon, and is tangent to the chain of the
Aleutian islands and the coast line of
Japan. The closest approximation to
this line practicable for steamers is
along the west coast of America, Mex
leo and Lower California, crossing the
ocean in a circle of 1000 miles radius,
of which Hawaii is practically the
center.
The conclusion is reached that the
shortest possible route for steamers
from BritO TO Yokohama via San
Francisco exceeds by only ninety-one
knots the shortest possible direct
route from BritO to Yokohama. By
the Honolulu route the distances are:
From BritO TO Honolulu, 4210 knots;
Honolulu to Yokohama, 1899 knots
total, 1909 knots. The shortest posi-
BILE route between BritO and Yoko-
hama via San Francisco is 373 knots
shorter than that by way of Honolulu.
In the event of the completion OF
the Nicaragua canal it is believed
from these figures that the position of
San Francisco will make IL the para
mount port of the Pacific. Few mer-
chant vessels or war ships can steam
more than 5000 knots without renew
ing their fuel supply, and San Fran
cisco must therefore become a great
cOaling station and naval rendezvous.

Display of Naval Force.
LONDON, June 16.-Developments
since the Cabinet council held on
Tuesday indicate that the government
has decided on taking some definite
action against the Porte. COmmuni-
cations sent to Russia and France by
the Foreign Office urge the necessity
of making a formidable naval demon
stratiOn in the BOsphOrus without de-
lay. The suggestions of Russia and
France that conference Of the pow
ers be held do not suit Lord Rosebery,
as they are not in the line of his pol
icy.
1t is plain that the Premier either
wants 10 have Great Britain commit
ted to strong and practical policy of
pro-Armenian Intervention before the
Conservatives come into office, or he
perceives that a conference of the
powers might entrap England into
discussion of the question of her occu-
patton OF Egypt. The former might
be desirable to the Liberals, but the
latter would not be welcomed by any
party or faction in the kingdom.
Lord Salisbury may have no cut
and-dried policy, but the Conservative
organs, which reflect opinions pre-
vailing in the Carlton Club, are now
advocating a reconstruction of Balkan
governments by permitting Bulgaria
to absorb Macedonia and even Con-
stantinople, giving to Greece some
extension of her frontiers, ard con-
firmiDg Moslem domination to a pOT-
ton of Asia Minor. This, OF course,
means war, but war is in the air.

uOC q conclusion
drawn from hearsay. They have been
there and know what they're talking
| about. Mid the pleasures of a seventy
mile ride and good lunch their in
nermost heart has been touched and
| the result IS unanimous verdict or
approval.
Pursuant to the invitation of the
| company the following newspaper
men boarded the special train placed
at their service Tuesday morning and
inspected the road from beginning to
end: Ed Towse, Star; George Man
son, Bulletin; H. NJ. Whitney, Plant

Fon, Chinese News; Yak Nam, Chi

W iian; @. G. Kenyon, independent;
Frank Testa, Makaainana D. M.
Punini, Ka Oiaio. Also Representa-
tive Kamauoha, and Frank Godfrey.
The train was made up of the engine
Leahi, with Master Mechanic H. d.
Roberts at the throttle, the directors
car and an observation car. Fred G.
Smith, general passenger and ticket
agent of the road, acted as host, and
to his kindly attentions and good fell
lowship the general success of the ex-
cursiOn is to be credited. There was
absolutely no political significance to
the gathering. Mr.. Hayne and Editor
Bishop sat side by side-thOugh they
didn't talk much; Bishop Willis and
John Bush dropped politics and talked
of the scenery; Editor TOwse forgot
the saloon interests, and allowed that
the tires on the car-wheels were broad
enough to euit anybody, and general
good-fellowship prevailed. The pen
pushers were off for an excursion and
trusted to luck that the country would
remain quiet for few hours at least
without their presence or worldly
assistance.
The run to Eva was made without
a stop, and, after a few minutes to
pass a word with Manager Lowrie,
the party proceeded on its way down
the line. Chief Engineer Kluegel and
Contractor Bickal were on hand
to give information. The con-
tractor did not say much of his
road. The easy manner with
which the train rolled over the road
bed spoke for the character of Mr..
Bickal's work and the editors did the
talking on this occasion. The first
seven miles are through the beautiful
cane fields of the Eva plantation and

BLACK FLAGS IN FoRMosA.
Civil Government of the Island in Charge

HONGKONG, June bit is stated
that the Black Flags are threatening
to cause serious trouble in FOrmOsa,
and that the foreigners on the island
are in a critical condition. In view of
these facts the commander of the Brit
ish cruiser Spartan has landed de-
tachment of marines, and the British
cruiser Rainbow has left here for the
scene of the trouble. a japanese
cruiser approaching An Pung was
fired upon, but without effect.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Japan
ese Legation today received an official
dispatch from the Foreign Office sum-
mariZing the status of affairs in the
island of FoTmOsa as follows: "At Tai
Phu Flu and Tamsui, the two large
cities in the north, all disorder is at
an end and peace is established. The
Japanese have put into operation a
civil system of administration. Ger
man marines were landed at the cities
mentioned, but have been withdrawn.
The foreign settlers are now under the
entire protection of the japanese army
and civil officials" "
The mention of the establishment
of a civil system shows that martial
law which was in operation when the
japanese feet and army first arrived,
has given place quickly to an orderly
municipal system. No mention is
made of the reported uprising of the
Black Flags.
