day. butsin spite of the unfavorable con-
dftions the crack shots found the buAss-

an excellent one for practice, the iight
being very good. There were no accl-
dents to delay the shooting, but much
dissatisfaction was expressed at the
apparent Indifference of the marker at
B target. Shots which were known 10
have landed were not marked. but as
the marker is inexperienced his snort
cominss were overlooked in the nope

The attendance for the was the
largest SO far this season. From TWO
o'clock. when the range was opened, un-
til six o'clock. when the last shot was
fired. the markers were kept busy. Dur

were fired. The honors of the day were

however, I had such. a peculiar ex-

AN ASSURED TYRANNY
Hawaiian Republican Govern
ment Fears No Filibusters.

SAN FRANCISCO. May q, 1S95.-Hono-
lulu, May 20, 1895, (per steamship China):
Successive mails having brought to the
Government from their agents very de-
finite reports of a flibustering expe-
dition having sailed from Puget Sound
for these Islands. They chartered the
steamer Lohua for service as a revenue
cutter. For two weeks past she has been
cruising around the islands, partly for the
purpose of intercepting the possible hi-
busterers and partly to watch for opium
smugglers.
The Cabinet is totally ~incredulous about
any exhibition of filibusterers being at
tempted. They believe the armed strength
of this Republic is too well known for
any private piratical attempt to be made
for it's overthrow. They say there would
be no chanc of success for any force
not numbering many hundred of superior
men. thoroughly organized and drilled.
1t is absurd to suppose that any force OF
SO formidable a character could be organ
lied and despatched without being dis
covered and arrested by the United States
authorities. They do not believe that
there is any person sufficiently able and
interested to risk the necessary funds
in such a. costly undertaking.
Although there are large NUMBERS u
natives and half whites with some whites
disaffected towards the republic, there
are none who would now. take any risk
or who would help a filibustering force
until they had demonstrated their Ger.
tainty of success. Such is the opinion or
the Cabinet Ministers.
Colonel Mclean, the newly arrived mil
itary Chief, whom all admit to be an eX-
pert, says that the military forces OF the
government are of admirable quality.
With their character and drill and with
our Hotchkiss guns we can with the Ut
most ease take care of any piratica!
force that could possibly be organized
and sent down here. I.
Minister Hatch Said:-"The Government
has nov no internal disturbance to APP
prehend and there is no invasion possible
that need cause alarm: The securing OF
the services of Colonel Mclean are main
ly with a view to better and more econ
qmica1 administration of the military
forces, OF course the presence of an
able Commander imparts confidence to the
National Guards. We have no anxiety
about filibusterers."
President Dole has summoned. the
Legislature to meet in special session on
June IL. The principal business will be
a land and homestead law, with special
reference to the disposal of the Crown
lands.
On May II, the 1900 japanese of Homo
lulu celebrated the victorious peace of
Japan by a large procession representing
military n naval forces, followed by ex-
ercises after a Fourth of July pattern.
Good order was scrupulously maintained.

BERLIN's FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Daily Drill of Memberships Gem
eral Discipline.

The Berlin Fire Department is the old
est professional organization of the kind
on the continent, and, without a doubt,
also the most efficient. 1t is organized on
military lines, and the firemen, as well as
their officers, lave their regular daily
drills. The progress within the last few
years has been enormous and many novel
appliances and machines, electric appa-
ratus and other improvements, have been
introduced.
The "~scaphander' is a suit of asbestos
and rubber. with a helmet of rubber fit
ting dramatically upon the suit. A plate
of glass, especially prepared to stand
great heat without cracking, is Embedded
in the front of the helmet and allows the
wearer to see plainly. With this suit a
fireman can dash into a fierce fire in
spite of smoke, heat and fame. Air is
supplied to- the fireman as in a divers
helmet.
Several men Of each station are supplied
with smoke helmets, which protect
against being overcome by smoke, and
enable firemen to search all rooms in a
burning house for people that are blinded
or overcome. They also receive their
supplysof air from without.

murder by ex-Patrolnan Stockwell Of
Sergeant McAllister as a subject for
his sermon. He assailed the Police Com

the saloons, alleging that they were di-

murdered officer.
sThe saloonkeepers," the speaker said,
stare as much law breakers as murderer
Stockwell Is, and should be punished
accordingly. There is a state law against
today from 12O to 800 saloons which are
causing murder and other crimes to be
rommitted.p
