1t is reported that the four troops
OF the Seventh cavalry now sta

this post, one at Fort Clark
and one at Fort Hancock, will be
transferred to the Department OF

In speaking of the object Of his
tour to military reporter general
Schofield said that he did not con-
template making an official report
of his tour for transmission to Con-
gress, his final report as general
commanding having been made
last year. But during the seven
years that he had occupied his
present station he thought that
the condition of the army
had improved and he de-
sired in closing his career
to make a personal examination
and endeavor to discover what
further improvements could be
made. The conclusion he reaches
during his tour would therefore be
presented to the secretary OF war
and the president for their in
formation and possible guidance
and would probably not be OF the
nature of report to be made pub
lie.
Lieutenant General Schofield has
started on a tour Of the principal
posts of the United States. He will
be present at Memphis during the
drill tournament, after which he
will leave for the west, returning

military papers that the right to
command the army by General
Miles on the retirement Of General
Schofield, cannot be denied.

A SAVAGE DOG.
Louis Adler Bitten While Walking
on Queen Street.

Louis Adler called at the police
station last night about 8 80 o'clock
and excitedly informed the clerk
that he wanted to swear out war
rant against a native living on
Queen street near the Government
stables, he being the possessor of a
savage dog.
While walking along in the vicin-
ity, he felt something rush out of
the darkness, give him a good bite
in the right leg and retire again in
to darkness and solitude.
Adler was told that no warrant
could be issued at night, whereup-
on he smiled YEARLY and accepted
the suggestion of the officers stand
ing about, that he see the owner of
the dog and settle the matter out
of court.
For the benefit of those present,
Adler showed where he had been
bitten. The teeth marks on his
skin were plainly visible. He was
very much worried about hydro
phobia, and went home with look
which accorded with his feelings.

REPUBLIC Is STRONG.
Denial That Annexation Sentiment
Is Weakening.

NORFOLK Comm, Aug. S.--Hon.
L. A. Thurston, late Hawaiian
Minister to the United States, has
written private letter to his cousin,
the wife of Congressman E. J. Hill,
of this city, in which he says that
the statements sent out by nearly
every mail that the cause of the
Republic and of annexation is
weakening in the Hawaiian Islands
and that there is a tendency to re-
vert back to a monarchy are abso-
lutely untrue.
He says: "These stories will not
hurt US in the long run. The Re-
public has ample strength to hold
the situation as long as it is neces-
sary to accomplish the object that
is Kept steadily in view, namely,
annexation to the United States"

JAPANESE BEETLES.
Cheap Continuance for Keeping
Them Off Plants.

Mr.. EDITOR Since the Japan
csc beetles came to Honolulu, there
has been much work done in keep
ing them away from choice plants,
with but little effort to exterminate
them.
There were very few at first pos
sibly there are comparatively few
now. The amount of labor and
expense required to cover plants
every evening or to otherwise pro-
tect them would go far toward e1-
terminating the pest.
The following simple continuance
is effective A tin can (say a lard
can), with a little water and less
kerosene, and a small stick across
the top, on which is set a short
piece of candle. AS the candle is
passed under the beetles they drop
into the kerosene, which kills them.
A common lamp with chimney
f1aring at top is also a good trap.

COMPETITIVE JAPANESE.
Commissioner Fitzgerald Collecting
Data for Memorial to Congress.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
has gathered a good deal of data
for his memorial to Congress upon
Japanese immigration. Among
other things he has learned that
the Orientals are going into ship
building, and that they can con-
struct vessels a. So per ton less
than the ruling rate. Besides they
can handle cargo et $50 per ton
cheaper than IL can be done by
white labor.
He has also filed newspaper clip
pings from New South Wales, where
they are holding meetings to take
action upon the same question that
the Commissioner is looking into.
In Sydney a Japanese buyer re-
Gently purchased 10000 sides of
leather, which were shipped to
Japan, to be made into shoes, to be
later returned to compete with the
home product.
At Osaka, Japan, a cotton mill
started a few years ago with $50
gpindles now there are mills
enough there to USE 100000.
Arms and Explosives, a weekly
London paper, calls attention to
the new Japanese army rifle, and
says that a country which can turn
out such spendid gun will soon
be a dangerous competitor in the
field Of cheap shotguns and re-
volvers.
A man who signs himself Amer
lean citizen" calls attention to the
sale of safety matches in boxes at
five cents per dozen, and asks how
the American laborer can compete
at those prices.
From figures collected Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has also learned that the
number of Japanese arriving in
San Francisco exceeds the total
number of immigrants from all
other parts of the world. These
facts are being suitably prepared,
and Mr.. Fitzgerald thinks he will
present an array of facts that Con-
gress cannot fail to heed.-S. F.

ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

that money enough can be obtained

pressive ceremony was performed.
This was the formal presentation to
the members Of the band by Captain
Cochrane of the new instruements.
A large concourse Of people had as
sembled.
At the close of Captain Coch-
rane's address, interpreted by I. X.
Nathaniel. Mr.. Ambrose Hutchi-
son, the acting superintendent,
in most touching and earnest
words, rendered to him and those
who had assisted him, the thanks
of the musicians and of the resi-
dents and, most OF all, for the kind
and thoughtful regard which had
prompted the gift.
After these ceremonies were
compile ed, the party proceeded to
the new Y. NJ. Z. A hall, donated
BY Hon. G. n. Wilcox and held a
meeting with those MT e l in the
institution. Differences had arisen
between two sets Of officers,
who each thought to con
troll the hall. After listen
ing to the various causes Of
difference, some Wholesome advice
was given them and it is hoped
that the work of the association
will progress more smoothly in
future.
The visit was a most satisfactory
one. A marked improvement was
noticed in the condition of the set
tlement. The acting superintend-
ent, with his assistants, under the
supervision of Mr.. r. w. Myers,
Agent of the Board, have conduct
the affairs of the settlement with
wisdom and discretion. The Sis
tiers and Mr.. Drtton have carried
on the affairs of the Homes with
the intelligent devotion which they
have manifested for so many years
The native pastor and the Catholic
fathers have labored necessarily
for the good Of the people. The
schools have been maintained and
the policy of the Board has pro-
duced results which are most graft
flying.
With much that is said there is a
spirit of cheerfulness and hope
which is surprising.
At S o'clock the party returned
to the landirg place where a large
portion Of the settlement had as
sembled to bid farewell to the
visitors. As Mr.. Hunt and num-
Der of others embarked upon the
first boat the band played God
Save the Queen" As the remain
ing members of the party embarked
they raised their hats to the strains
of Hawaii Ponoi." The return to
Honolulu was made in about six
hours, and the party felt well repaid
sor the visit.

n Boon To the Water Colorist.
After a picture is dry rub it over
lightly with linseed oil. and IL the oil
does not take" in some places breathe
ON the painting. and the oil will flow
evenly. Then wipe off the oil with
soft brush, and you can resume your
work Immediately.
Flake white is generally considered
the best white in oil colors The quail
ity. varying as it does with different
makers. has occasionally raised a preju-
dice against it. but good fake white
should be safe both in its own perma-
nency and in its effect upon other oolors.
The following colors are all that are
absolutely necessary for still life paint
ing: Ivory black. bone brown. burn
sienna, raw lumber, permanent blue.
antwerp blue, cobalt. zinober green, rose

Blotting paper is Of the greatest use
TO the water oolorist 1t serves, when
laid under the drawing paper and wet
from time TO time, to keep the latter
moist as long as may be desired. Il can
be used for modelling a sky. You lay
first strong tone over the whole cloud,
for instance, and then take mp more or
less of tho color with little roll of blot
ting paper on the side toward the light
As often ss the roll of blotting paper
becomes discolored it is thrown away
and fresh one made, so that n whole
sky can be modelled in this way In q
very short time. II one sees at once that
one has laid the wrong tone. 1t can be
taken up with blotting paper before is
has time to dry
In sketching in water colors use =
medium pencil, rather harder for coarse
grained papers than for the finer. A
soft pencil should never be used. because
the dust from it will darken and render
gray the lighter tones Of the water ool-
ors. For the same reason much shading
with the pencil should be avoided Il
will, in general. be sufficient to indi-
cate lightly the boundaries Of the sew
eral tones which go to make up form
and somewhat more firmly. but sail
lightly, proceed to draw in the outline
