prof1igate khedive was plunging
that country into insolvency, is act
ually to keep under her control the
Indian gateway. Russia is pushing
vigorously the construction of the
railway that will connect st. Peters
burg with Vladivostock, across 5000
miles of Siberia, connecting the Bal
tic with the Pacific by 1000 miles of
rail. This has spurred the discussion
of the question of connecting India
with England's Mediterranean pos
sessions by rail, as a counter to
Russia's transcontinental line.
There have been several projects
discussed, and Turkey has granted
a concession for road across
Assyria, ending at Mosel, on the
Persian frontier. The India Times
takes UP the discussion with prop
osition for a line that will, in time,
when fully constructed, give an all
rail route from Ismaila, on the Suez
canal, to Calcutta. The Times pro-
poses the initial construction of a.
line beginning at Ismaila, running
thence across Northern Arabia to a
point between Bagdad and Bussorah,
on the Euphrates, above the Persian
gulf, thence to the port of Koweit
on the gulf. The northing made by
this route is advised on account of
the coal fields it will cross, furnish
ing fuel; while the objection of the
long desert passage is obviated by
the proposal to sink artesian or
other wells for the water supply.
The distance from Ismaila to Koweit
by this route is 1000 miles, and the
effect will be, so the Times points
out, the practical extension of the
commercial frontier of the empire
from Kurrachee to Alexandria.
While the present terminus is pro-
posed to be at Koweit, on the Per-
sian gulf, the project of the Times
does not make it the final end. Pend
ing further construction down the
Persian side of the gulf, fast steam
ers, making the trip in three and a
half days, would ply between Koweit
and Kurrachee; but in time a rail-
road would skirt the gulf, between
it and the mountain range that paral-
lels the coast line, crossing Beloochi-
stan and terminating at Kurrachee.
The Times regards this port, in the
northwestern corner Of the Indian
empire, as far superior in every re-
needed to complete the continuous
line to Calcutta is the extension of
the present line from Agra, on the
border of the great Northern desert
of India, to Kurrachee. But if the
whole plan is too stupendous for
present consideration, the Times
submits that the advantages to fol-
low the construction Of the thousand
miles to the head of the Persian
gulf are sufficient to warrant the
expenditure involved. 1t will extend
the British empire through 20 de-
grees of longitude; it will prevent the
injury that might follow the block
ade of the canal; it will open i'm
mense coal fields; it will allow a daily
mail between England and India,
and, what seems a quaint reason, it
on the Arabs of the passage through
their country of her troops and peo-
pie, an effect now lost in the canal
route.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 24-Quite a
ripple of excitement was caused here
today by a report that r. r. ST.
monds had passed a number of
forged checks on different business
houses. On Monday Mr.. Simonds
sold his interest in the firm to his
partner, A. l.. Sherman. The next
day he started on the road for the
house, and has not been heard of
since. This morning it was discov-
cred he had cashed a number of
checks drawn for amounts ranging
from $40 to $25 just before leaving,
signed by Simonds & Sherman. Mr..
Sherman had the account credited to
him at the bank personally, so that
the checks were thrown out when
presented for payment. Simonds is
thought to be in Canada, and will be
brought back to Fargo for trial, if
he can be found.

ARRIVAL OF THE CHINA FROM
ORIENTAL PORTS.
As to Honolulu Mail and Passengers
Left Cholera-One Death by
Consumption.

The P. M. S. S. China, Seabury
master, arrived this morning, ten
days from Yokohama, and anchored
outside. She has thirty -four through
cabin passengers, but none for this
port. 534 Chinese are for Honolu'
lu. The China called only al
Hong Kong and Yokohama, and
has freight for Honolulu from both
ports. She left cholera at Yoke
hama.
DR.. Day boarded the big liner
outside and stated the situation
here. Captain Seabury then de.
clined, under orders, to take pas.
sengers or mail from Honolulu, but
desired to land his freight and
passengers. Word was sent up
town that 10 mail was to be taken.
The Board of Health met at II
o'clock. Port Physician Day re-
ported that when the vessel left
Yokohama cholera existed at that
port. and the cause of death on the
voyage, was given as consumption.
The Board was of the opinion that
no risks should be taken, and de-
cided to hold post mortem exam
ination ON the case. 1t was decided
that if the post mortem resulted
satisfactorily, and the vessel would
take the Honolulu mail, her freight
and passengers might be landed.
Mr.. Hackfeld, who was present,
thought this would be satisfactory
to Captain Seabury. Drs. Day and
Wood were asked to conduct the
examination, and instruct the ship
and agents as to their findings.

Dredsiae.

A solution Of the Nuuanu stream
problem has been reached. The
plans were drawn In the Survey
Office and have met the approval Of
the Board of Health aud the Gov.
eminent. II was first proposed that
the houses on the Waikiki side be
torn down, a road made over the
ground on which they stand, and
that this side be walled up. The
property owners along the stream
valued their interests so high that
the scheme would have cost the
Government about SIoo, 600 as a
starter. Then another plan, al
most identical with the one adopt
ed, was presented in THR STAR.
The plans adopted are substanti-
ally as follows: /. Smiths bridge
will be moved down about fifty
feet. This will cut out the Eureka
house.
(2) Beginning at the south bend
above Beretania, a new channel
will be cut across the point Of land
at Smiths bridge, reaching the
stream again short distance be-
low. This will take out two or
three small houses mauka of Smith
street, which are worth very little.
(3) From the makai terminus of
the cutoff TO King street bridge,
the channel will be dredged out in
a berfefhy straight line. This will
bring it to the Eva side of the
present channel all the way down
and on Government land. The
land on this route is all earth, end
can be worked at far less expense
than the rocky other side. The
plan will draw the stream away
from the Waikiki side, leaving room
for a good road aud clearing all of
the valuable property along the
line. Mud from the new channel
will be used in building up the
road.
Work on these lines will begin
at once. The dredger will be set
to work tomorrow below the old
fishmarket, headed towards King
street bridge. A strict watch will
be kept over the stream while the
work is going on. No one will be
allowed around the mud piles. 1t
is probable that sulphuric acid will
be frequently put in the stream
and contiguous water.

A STRANGER WAS SCARED.
RECKLESS SHOOTING BROUGHT
SPEEDY PUNISHMENT
Firing Into Town From Quarantine
Islsnd-Told He had Made an
Accidental Hit.

Jack McVeigh got even," as he
puts it, with stranger at the quar-
antine station last week. The man
was a passenger for Hilo and made
himself -aonAahat.-nhnoxiolas-
continuously criticisiug the accom-
modations at the station, the Board
Of Health and everything else in
general. He had a 45-7o Win
chester and one day, before Jack
knew what he was about, he had
fred seven or eight shots at a plover
and on almost direct line with the
Oceanic wharf, where about thirty
five laborers were quartered. In
horror Jack seized the weapon and
exclaimed: Great Scott, man, you
are shooting right into the town.
The stranger was almost unmoved,
which provoked the officer the
more.
Just then the telephone rang.
1t was mistake. That was Jack S
opportunity, however, and he
seized it. "a native in Allen &,
Robinson's yard shot, you say?" he
yelled at the telephone. Eyes, sir,
I'm afraid the shot came from here.
A gentleman at the station fired a
rifle several times in that direc-
tion." By this time the stranger,
who had heard the fake converse
ton, had fallen into chair and
was trembling like a leaf. 81
shot him, l know l did; what shall
l dor" asked he in great distress.
Skin out" answered Jack, with
a counterfeit solemnity that would
pass for genuine in any market
but can't / settle the thing up
How much will it cost meH
plead the rifleman.
Cost you? began Jack, turning
upon the man as If astounded a,
his ignorance. "Why, man, iftha,
fellow dies they'll hang you IT,
next day. The best you can hope
for is to lie in Jail for seven months,
without chance Of bail, to avail,
trial."
Just then telephone man reach
ed the Station. Jack spoke to him
a few moments, and the visitor
went in to examine the telephone
Returning after time he began to
play his role in this style: Say
Jack, a kanaka was shot over il
Allen & Robinson's lumber yard {
little while ago. He's been taker
to the hospital and DR.. Cooper
says he's a goner."
The effect Of this blast was sim
ply paralyzing upon the stranger
and Jack began to fear he had car
ried the joke too far. So he tool
him outside and began to puzzl,
over plans for getting out Of tn
pilikia. After an earnest CONVEX
sation the stranger concluded tina
that Jack was right and he wa
wrong. And until the Hall sailet
not another kick was heard from
the young man. He also left hi
rifle with Jack at the station 70

OPIUM BROWN.

lie Was Telephonsd, Hut 1t Was Only n
Joke.
Captain Brown, formerly of the
Mahimahi, went out in his new
sloop, remodelled out of a G. N.
Wilcox whale boat, Sunday morn
ing to try her. -Four men were
with him. They cruised around
the harbor nearly two hours. Then
someone mischieviously telephoned
Captain Sanders that Opium
Brown and four men in a sloop had
entered the harbor. In few min
utes native policemen arrived at the
landing and put off post haste for
the strange sloop. Capt. Sanders
and the harbor policeman arrived in
hack. BY this time the joke was
out. The port surveyor was warm
indeed, and is looking for the mar
who did it.
