Maui, nothing definite could be
made out.
When the boat reached the side
of the vessel a red flag was hoisted
three times to the top of the mast.
The boat was hoisted to its place
and men aboard ship were sent
hurrying in different directions to
posts of duty. From the action of
the crew, it was very evident that
the captain had signalled danger in
the fast-approaching daylight. In
a few moments the little schooner
was scudding along in the direc-
ton of Lanai.
The travellers were so surprised
by the mysterious actions of the
vessel that they failed to seek the
authorities and report the case,
but sat in wrapt observation of
what was going on before them.
In situation the island of Kahoo-
lave is most admirably adapted to
the landing of opium. Under cover
of darkness a vessel can easily put
in, deposit dope out of sight of any
watchers on Maui and silently steal
away without the least fear of de-
lection.
Natives who are we'll acquainted
with the coast of the island say
there are many most favorable spots
for such work, and this fact is
known to dealers in the slippery
stuff on the Coast. They are of
the opinion that Kahoolawe has
been the objective point of many
opium expeditions, and that it will
likely continue to be.

THE EARTH IN A TREMBLE
One of the Most Violent Shocks Ever
Felt OH the Island.
Clocks stopped and Smashed-Damage
to observation-disclosures from Outer
Districts-StrOng at Waikiki.

u There were two distinct shocks
of earthquake at 11:O4 O'Clock last
night, each of about ten seconds
duration, The first was quite light,
the second being much stronger
and perhaps the most severe ever
felt on the island. Down town the
shocks were heavy, but not quite as
hard at Waikiki and along King
street. The clock at Lucas mill
was stopped, and in the Inter
Island dock office a clock was
thrown to the floor and smashed.
At Fred Whitney's residence, King
street, the contents of the house
were strewn in all directions.
Just previous to the quakes a
party was sitting in a Chinese res
taurant on Hotel street, near Nuu-
anu, eating lunch. The shocks
knocked a cup of coffee from his
hand and sent plate of food across
the room. To say that the indi-
vidual was surprised does not half
express it.
Professor Lyons at Punahou was
in bed and, as a consequence, could
not tell from what direction the
shocks came.
Telephone messages from Waia-
lua and other places beyond the
pail reported the earthquakes equal
ly as strong as in Honolulu.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Before the olnt special legislative
committee appointed to investigate the
affairs of the College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts at Kingston, yesterday.
Mr.. AMAsA M. EATON, counsel for the
board OF managers, made an unwarranted
and unjustiiable attack upon those who,
he said, had made and circulated charges
against the institution and its manage
ment, and who failed to repeat them be-
fore the committee. He paid his p%articu-
lar respects to The NEWS, and minated
that it should be reprobated for the
course it pursued.
We are not at all worried by this sort
OF talk, because we recognise as the
effort OF a paia advocate TO prove worthy
oi.his retainer. To Mr.. EATON we will
simply say that in attributing question:
able motives to THE NEWS he displays a
disregard of facts. For his better in
formation, we wish to say THE NEWS
has neither made nor circulated charges
against the college management. 1t has
never called in question its honesty, abili-
ty or efficiency. 1t urged a change OF
location at . time whom the change
could have been made advantageously and
to the location, rather than incspacity
on the part OF the managers or faculty, it
has attributed the failure OF the ~institu-
tion to develop as IT was expected to de-
velop We have even sought to pro-
mote the best interests OF the college.
This question OF location, II will be re-
membered, was summarily settled by the
boeiu VI nhndBerss WHICH tnen demanded
an investigation when there was nothing,
so far as we know, to investigate. Why
should any n go to Kingston TO talk
on a matter that could not be changed
by anything they might say or any re-
commentator the committee might
make? II would be q useless Waste OF
time. The hearing yesterday was 4 fzzie,
OF course. The board OF managers and
the faculty have simply made n bluff by
securing a resolution for an "invcstlgs.
tom OF matters that we're never in the
count. rhoy have acted throughout
like a purcell OF children, and Mr.. EATON
also, as attorney for them, mas displayed a
dtting childishness.

DON'T FOOL WITH FACTS.

The election to the City Council OF a
lot OF men inexperienced in the admipis-
tration Of municipal affairs would be
simply to s'hold up'' all improvements
until the new men hao learned the bust
ness. True, they ought to know some
thing about ii, but they have mostly
been engrossed in their own private mat
ters to the exclusion Of everything else
and had sno time to attend at the
duties OF citizenship. The taxpayers are
now invited to educate them at the pub
lie expense oil unde the enticing name
OF "reiorm." The complaint in "letters
TO the editor" q short time ago that the
Board of Aldermen bad neglected to
cause the weeds to be cut around
the statue on the Dexter Train
ing Ground is a case in point. The
Board Rave nothing whatever to do with
the matter, it being in the sole charge OF
the Commissioners OF the Dexter Dona-
ton. Another case was the complaint
about the extravagant paving of Eddy
street. which was paid for by the pro-
prietors Of tho organ OF the ~"kickersn
after that organ had failed TO have 1t
done at the municipal expense. All this
was known TO everybody except those
who believed the stories because they
wished to, and without an inquiry ss to
the truth Of the matter.

Who Told You So Much, Mr.. Call?

A double-leaded defence Of the Providence

agree with all our contemporary says In

the record OF serious crimes that has been
pihng up in that city since early in the sum
mer is evidence that there is something rotten
down there. The body OF the force IS ell

voted TO authorize a committee To super
wise the politics OF the town and in gen.
eral to run things in the interests of

And yet there were nearly three times
as many citizens in Infantry Hall last
evening han on the occasion OF that
bumptious gathering. They were not
there as representing a mythical ''good
citizenship" They represented an ac-
tual good cltizenship-the kind that has a
record to point to. Moreover, they were
not there as "non-partisan,' as "reform-
ers, +" or as independents" They were
there as Republicans, as partisans in civ
ic affairs, partisans on civic i~ssues-bs-
cause the record of good government in
this town is a record of q parti al ad-
ministrstion, a Republican administra-
ton. And 1t is to be noted that, despite
the ~nastiest kind of weather, the gather
ing Of Republicans was nearly three
times as largo as that other gathering
that we were told represented a popular
uprising" and likewise all the good
eitizenships there is In this town.
Not only in point of numbers was the
meeting notable by contrast with the
"reform" gathering, but in the character
OF the attendance it was equally notable.
We guess any citizen of sense and civic
patriotism, whatever his political faith,
who would have looked into Infantry
Hall on the two occasions referred to,
would not have hesitated In his choice OF
the body OF men hat were there last
night as the kind of fellow-citizens with
whom he would prefer to identify him
self.
There are, evidently enough, plenty OF
Republican, in this town-plenty of citi-
zens who believe in the administration OF
civic affairs. by mon who call themselves
Republicans. II we may judge from
comparing the two recent gatherings In
Infantry Hall, the one OF Democrats, "re-
formers" mugwumps, socialists, sore
heads, prohibltionists and what-nots,
with last nights meeting OF Republicans
all, we should infer that the Republicans
outnumber all the rest put together in a
ratio of about 3 to /.

is THIS youE OPINION

Is THIS YOUR OPINION!
Mr.. WRATHBoSR GARDNER, candidate
for an Office OF public trust, is quoted by
The journal with an amazing remark.
AT the Second Ward meeting, the
OF her night, referring TO the inadequate
pay that our Counciimen receivc-irom
which we may infer that Mr.. GARDNER,
should he by any misfortune be elected,
will put in a bin for a salary increase
promptly on taking the oath OF office-Mr.
GARDNER is quoted with the following
language: They have work TO do
which is worth 10 times the amount that
they receive $500, and they cANNor BE
BLAMED II they make something to COM
pensate themselves for their time in
some other way"
Is that your sentiment, Mr.. GARD
NER? Does that express your moral viewsf
Because a man accepts for, or seeks, q
job that he does not feel rcpays him, Is
it your opinion that he "cannot be
blamed il he ''makes something to COM
pensate himself in some other way"? II
you were mixed up in a deal that con-
tributed TO your income through your
power in the Council, would you, then,
plead ''not guilty, A." and defend yourself;
on the ground that the taxpayers did not
pay you all you thought your services
were worth-say $4,000, instead of $500?
You are the first man we ever heard
that had the face TO declare that an aver
age Councilman's services were worth
$4,000. We have no doubt that the work
OF some men-like WILLIAM r. VAUGHAN,
for instance-has been worth far more
than thar as a business commission on
money actually saved or made Tor the
city. And we believe that never has an
aspirant for office in this community
displayed such a lack OF moral perception
as to tell us that we must not "blame''
public officials who make something
by reason OF their positions of trust
and confidence that is not known Of and
approved by their constituents-snd we
cannot imagine any money that could be
made as you suggest that would receive
such approval if it was known about.
We are amazed at the audacity of the
statement hardly less than at the moral
strabismus it exemplifes. Shall we judge
then that this illustrates your stand
aru ol Isclliuoe IN puDllc oIuce! -
We guess the public don't look at this
thing with your perverted moral vision.
We guess your constituents will fail to ac-
ce2t any such view. In our opinion the
bile will hold responsible to the small
est deal and the last dollar any of its
public servants who seek to compensate
themselves for the small wage of their
service ain some:other way" They are
blamable. They will be blamed. And
held strictly to account.
BY your words, you have expounded
and espoused an evil principle, Mr..
GARDNER, IN outrageous proposition.
We may only hope that you never said
it-that you have been incorrectly re-
ported.
