BRITISH GUNS.

The bombardment was a character
istically high-handed and summary
performance. Justice requires it TO be
added that it was also useful and
necessary act, distinctly in the inter-
est of humanity. Seyyid Khalid was
not only an usurper. 1t seems likely
that he was also concerned in the
death of the sultan, whom he aspired
to succeed, and it is clear that his
backing was that of the Arab slave
traders, the curse of East Africa, who
have been made very uncomfortable
during the British protectorate. 1t is
not likely that either this young man
or any Zanzibari will be so foolish as
to repeat his defiance of the British
power in consequence of which his
palace was knocked down in an hour.
There is probably mo political signi-
ficance" in the fact that the usurper
took refuge in the German consulate.
The British protectorate was establish
ed in 1890 by agreement with Germany,
and has ever since been recognized
by that power-New York Times.

Among the number was one China,
man who, from the appearance OF
gashes on his face and a thumb, near
ly severed, gave pretty good evidence
of his having been in a recent fracas
He told Captain Parker that he had
got into a fight with a Chinaman
from the rice fields just makai of his
place The gang from the mauka
fields were on their way down to do
up the individual
Upon investigation it was found
that the Chinaman from makai had
been to the upper boundary of his
fields attending to the water and, upon
the arrival of the noon hour, had gone
down to get something TO eat.
The Chinaman from mauka took
advantage of this and diverted the
course of the water into his own
fields.
There was meeting soon after this
and the hoe contest which resulted in
the arrest of both men.

THE DAYS GONE BY.

Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days
gone by!
The apple in the orchard and the path
way through the rye,
The chirrup of the robbin and the whis-
tie of the quail,
As he piped across the meadows, sweet
as any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and
the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over, in
the days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked
feet were tripped
By the hOneysuckle tangles, where the
water lilies dipped,
And the ripple of the river Tapped the
moss along the brink,
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed
cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless of
the truant's wayward cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer, in
the days gone by.
Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days
gone by!
The music of the laughing lip, the lustre
of the eye;
The childish faith in fairies, and Alad-
din's magic ring,
The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief
in everything,
When life was like a story, holding
neither sob nor sigh,
In the olden, golden glory of the days
gone by.

THE SONG OF THE OK WAGON

This is the song of the straining span
the tune of the tattered tilt,
or the slow essays in perilous ways OF
the wagon stoutly built.
The song that was sung in the ancient
tongue, when the days of the world
dawned gray,
The creaking Groom of the disselboom,
the song that is sung today.
East and west and south and north the
first-born herdsmen spread,
From the waters clear of the high
Pamir, from the ancient Oxus bed;
On and on to the plains of the Don
their creaking wagons ran,
And the disselboom showed out the
doom that has given the earth to
man.
Over the sands of the thirsty lands,
under a brazen sky,
Where the only law men bow before
is the law of the assegai;
Forth and forth to the dim far north
where the broad Zambesi flows,
Still today in the ancient way the rum
bling wagon goes.
Through the forest ways where the
wild things Craze, the dappled, the
fawn, the gray;
Where the tall "Kameel'' at sunset
steal like ghosts to the silent
vley,
Where the lions drink at the reedy
brink of the slowly Swallowing
pan,
The disselboom shows out the doom
that has given the earth to man.
Slowly and slow the wagons go by
thicket and thorn and pool,
But their thin path traced on the home
less waste is the road of the COM
ing rule;
And in dread of that track the wild
sinks back, and the thief and the
beast give place
To the farm and field and the yearly
yield of the men of the wiser race.
East and west and south and north,
from the days of the dawn till
now,
Ere grass was burned or sod was turn
ed by the share of the furrowing
plow,
This was the tune of the tattered tilt
the song of the straining span,
How the disselboom points out the
doom that has given the earth to
man.

Sweet Emelie Says She Drank Nothing
al All bur Gin, Wine, Etc

Captain Scott and others arrested
Ah Kut, a Chinese woman, Saturday
night, for having opium in her pos
session. Two half tins of opium, a
scales and several lichee nuts were
found in her room opposite the Sara
toga" road on the Waikiki road.
Early yesterday morning Marshal
Brown and Detective KAPPA arrested
George Houghtailing ON the charges
of exposing spirituous liquor for sale
and of selling the same at certain
date last month.
Another raid was made in the Cape
Horn district in which five Hawaiians
and three barrels of swipes were cap
tured.
Between the hours Of and O'Clock
last night the Salvation Army with
Captain Zimmers and Lieutenant Mum
roe at the head were holding service at
the corner of Fort and Hotel streets.
in about the same place they were
Thursday night when they were told
to move on. Officer Paddison who was
on duty at the place mentioned Thurs
day night and who gave the Salvation
Army people the warning, walked up
TO the ladies at the head OF affairs and
told them that his orders were not to
allow them there. They refused to
move on so they were marched to the
police station with the remainder OF
the army and crowd of some fifty
spectators following. At the police
station the captain and lieutenant
were released on their own recogni-
zance and to told to appear in the po-
lice court Monday morning.
Sweet Emelie was arrested Sunday
night for profanity When asked what
she had been drinking she replied,
"Oh, nothing but a lot of wine, swipes,
gin and okolehao."
Shortly before this arrest Lieuten-
ant Wells came in with four Cinnamon
from Kakaako who were saIuting the
moon with Chinese bombs. There
were others at Waikiki, Pauoa and
Kapalama who were doing the same
thing, but they made themselves
scarce
Some Cinnamon were having a good
time among themselves in a house on
Maunakea street between 8 and 9
o'clock Sunday night when two of the
number got into an argument over the
fullness of the moon as being in any
way applicable to themselves. One of
them picked up hammer and hit the
other over the forehead, dimming the
latter's vision He was sent to the
hospital and his antagonist spent the
night in a cell.
AT 1890 Sunday night the Chinaman
who keeps the fruit and soda water
stand near Luce's saIesrooms on Fort
street went to the police station and
complained of rough treatment on the
part of an officer. Soon after this the
officer in question appeared and stated
that he had told the Chinaman to shut
up his shop and that he had refused
to do this. Another case of prison
cell.
Russian Frank and Leo Scott were
arrested for furious and needless driv-
ing at Makee Island during the band
concert Sunday afternoon. They ran
into brake containing a lady and
came very near causing bad smash

often noticed, because the conditions
necessary to the formation of white

and the sun lying near the horizon.
These three conditions are not often

Two Cinnamon Get Into Fight
Over Water Rights.

A quarrel over water rights resulted
in two badly cut up Cinnamon Thurs
day afternoon.
Between and o'clock Chinaman
burst into Captain Parkers yard on
Liliha street and conveyed the intel
ngence that there would be serious
trouble in just a little while.
Looking out the back way Captain
Parker saw a dozen or more China
men running down from the rice fields
mauka OF his place. Each was armed
with hoe and although running from
different directions, all seemed to be
making for sore definite spot.
Captain Parker went out and inter
cepting them, asked what the evident
ly hostile demonstration meant.

WHITE RAINBows.

There is such a phenomenon as a
white rainbow. The circumstances ne
cessary for its formation are fine rain
and strong sun. The phenomenon is
due to the optical principle known as
interference. If the drops of water be
very small the interference of the rays
causes such complete overlapping of
the colors that the bow appears white.

Improving the River Channel.
From the Philadelphia Times.
In spite of state indifference and hold
up provisions In Congressional spproprla
tion bills the improvement OF the Della
ware channel is making encouraging
heAdway. Some OF the Improvement has
been secured directly by dredging the
shoal places and more of 1t by the con-
struction OF dlkes which make the
current 90 the dredging. This has the
merit OF being continuous, 80 that a
sufficient depth OF water having been
once attained by this method at any
locality, there will be no further outlay
required for its maintenance. The report
Of Major Raymond shows that the
fear that the river Is shoaling at any
point Is without foundation In the
day Of positive progress 1t shows that
about ten miles, or one-half Of the OBJ
structed portion of the chgnnel, has been
deepened-not all Of It to the depth ulti
mstely intended. but all q great improve
ment over former c)nditions--and sew
erai of the familiar shoals have entirely

of the hsrbor front Is going on at an en-

How II comes or what there Is back Of
1t cannot be ascertained with any degree
Of positiveness. but there Is a well.de-
fined rumor In circulation In Republican
and Democratic circles that there is about
TO be disintegrRtion Of Addicks forces
all over the state, and particularly in
New Castle county. OF course the Ad-
dicks men deny It. but 1t is in the wind
and likely to become manifest at any
time.
There was conference of Addlcks
leaders at the Claymont home Of Mr. Ad-
dicks on Tuesday, and II all reports are to
be believed. 1t was far from pleasant.
Some OF the older heads are credited
with having told Mr.. Addicks point
blank that they would desert him rather
than serve under the leadership Of
Charles A. Kittinger, the present conf.
Dental agent and young political mana
ger Of the gas man.
IL Is further understood that Mr..
Addicks. TO paclfy the recalcitrants,
promised to remove Mr.. Kittinger from
the head OF the political machine and
SO him out West TO look after certain
interests Of his there.
Further than that. IL was demanded
of Mr.. AddIcks that certain nominees Of
the regular Republicans be supported by
the AddIcksites. and that a compromise
be effected on the electoral part Of the
ticket.
In short, there appears TO be a revolt
working itself to the surface.
We trust that this is true. 1t will be
good for the state and have a tendency
to break up political conspiracy which
is most debauching and dlsgrsceful In
It's character.
