much as two-tenths at a time, which
is equal to two inches in Measurement.
Capt Sodergren says that he has new
er known barometer to act so before.
Capt Sodergren said: 1--WE sailed
from Tien-tsin August 31st. Septem-
Der 9th at a. m. the typhoon struck
us as we were passing from the East
ern Sea into the Pacific and 80 miles
from shore. The barometer had given
us ample time. In order to keep from
going ashore we had to lower the top
sails set. The typhoon came from the
northeast.
when the hurricane struck us, the
vessel went over so that the lee rail
was under water and there it remained
for 80 hours. 1t was impossible to see
the length of the ship. The sails were
ripped into ribbons with a noise like
cannon. With three men at the wheel
the gear broke. We managed to rig
tackles, which held through the storm.
after being 80 hours in the fury of
the waves we found ourselves in a
calm, which lasted 71a hours. Then we
were struck on the other side and had
80 hours more of battle. The barome-
ter went down to 2S.35. 1t would jump
at once from 2S.35 to 1855 and then
back again. came near losing all
confidence in it."

VALUABLE GIFT.
Portrait of Doctor McKibbin by
Artist Fred Yates.

Portrait of Doctor McKibbin by
Artist Fred Yates.
During Fred Yates sojourn in Homo
lulu he has been a frequent guest at
the board of the Pacific Club, and as a
token of appreciation of the uniform
kindness of the members, Mr.. Yates
volunteered to present the club with a
portrait of any one of the members
which the club might designate.
DR.. McKibbin, one of the Oldest mem
bers of the organization, was the one
selected, and Mr.. Yates gave the doctor
three sittings, producing in a few
hours a most life-like portrait of the
gentleman. Mr.. Yates enjoys painting a
person in the position in which he
gets his first impression, particularly
if it is one natural or peculiar to the
subject. The portrait of DIR. McKib-
bin represents him in an easy pose,
with paper on his lap, and in the
act of filling his pipe. 1t is the posi-
ton in which he is oftenest seen by
members of the club.
In every respect it is wonderfully
true to nature, and is characterized by
the bold handling which is a feature
in this famous artists work. 1t was
placed on exhibition in the Pacific
Hardware Company's art rooms yester-
day, and was admired by a large num-
Der of friends. When it has been appro-
priately marked it will be hung in
the clubs parlor.

While no one has ever discoul

While no one has ever discount
ed the fact that the recent cam
paign in the United States was the
most tremendous struggle ever
made in that country for political
supremacy, some of the post-elecE
ton figures give a better idea of
how hard fought was the battle all
along the line. During the last
week of the campaign William
Hahn of the Republican National
headquarters, who had charge Of
the speakers bureau, had under his
direction the following number of
stump speakers: Illinois, 5000;
Indiana, 1000; Wisconsin, 1000;
Minnesota, 1,4OO; Iowa, 1000;
Michigan, 1000; Missouri, 1900;
Ohio, 1000; Kansas, 1900; Neb-
raska, 1000; North Dakota, 400;
South Dakota, 900; total, 1900.
1t seems almost impossible that
such an immense crowd could be
kept in profitable movement, yet
all these men were kept at work
daily and nightly, and the engage
ment of each one lasted until the
night before the election. It will
also be noted that only the figures
in the doubtful States are given,
so that 10000 would be most
conservative estimate of the mum
Der of Republican speakers at work
throughout the Union. Add to the
Republican forces the sound mon
ey Democrats, and the United
States army would be put in the
shade by the array of public
speakers.

THE BIG METEoRITE.

The New York Museum, which al
ready contains 55 meteoritic fragments,
has not yet succeeded in annexing the
Acton arolite which is lying on an is
land near Cape York, Greenland.
Lieut.. Peary has had to return without
it. The machinery taken out for the
purpose of tackling it proved too weak,
and it had to be left behind till next
year. 1t appears the natives have been
using it for some time as source of
workable iron, and on that account
the honesty of carrying it off without
compensation is somewhat question
able. The least thing the Yankee can
do is to ballast the vessel they send
for it with pig-iron, and leave pile
of the latter in place of the coveted
specimen.

The Thanksgiving day events in
this year 1896 were not such, in
outward demonstration, as to mark
the occasion as day of all other
days in the annals of history; yet
the general closing of business
houses and the large attendance
at the churches in the morning
gave evidence that the people were
alive to the true sentiment of ma
tional thanksgiving expressed in
the proclamation of the Chief Ex-
ecutive. Those who were able to
gather about the home circle, un-
broken by sickness and death and
cheered by the good things that a

Mr.. Wilson's story of the British

The proper appetizer for a
Thanksgiving dinner in this day
and generation is foot ball game,
consequently there should be a big
majority of Honolulu people at the
game Thursday afternoon. Aside
from the propriety of the thing,
the forthcoming contest will doubt
less be one of the seasons best ath-
letic exhibitions. The playing in
previous games has been sharp
enough to keep matters interesting
and stir up a good bit of rivalry be
tween the two teams. The public
has also walked up to the proper
spirit and will be on hand to cheer
the victors and console the van
quished. The PunahOus have had
the advantages OF training under
skilled athlete, while well known
Canadian foot ball enthusiasts have
given the town boys the benefit of
their experience. 1t will do people
good to get out and see how the
young blood of Honolulu handles
the great varsity game.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
The Churches All Well Attended


and Good Sermons Heard.
The churches in the city yesterday
having the usual Thanksgiving serv-
ices were we'll attended, and the va
rious congregations listened to appro-
pirate sermons. At the Central Union
Rev. D. P. Brine preached an eloquent
discourse.
The Christian Church united with the
First Methodist, and Rev. ]. NJ. Monroe
of the former church preached beau
tiful sermon.
There was a large congregation pres
ent at the Thanksgiving service at 10
o'clock at St. Andrews Cathedral. I1e
chancel was prettiIy decorated by the
sisters and pupils of ST. Andrews Pri-
DRY, with potted palms and ferns, while
on the altar were several large bou-
quets of choice flowers. The pastor,
Rev. Alex Macintosh, was assisted
in the service by the Rev. V. H. Kitcat,
who read the lessons, and the Rev. S.
Byrde of Kohala, who read part of the
service The music by the choir was
very fine and included Woodward's Te
Deum in E fiat, Wray Taylor's Jubi-
late in F, and the splendid anthem,
Sing, o Heavens, and Be Joyful" by
c. Hall. In the latter Miss McGl ew
gave an excellent rendition of the So
.prano solo. She sang it beautifully.
Mr.. T. May had the tenor solo and
rendered it with telling effect. The
BASES were led by the veteran, ]. w.
Yarndley Two special hymns were
sung; indeed the chorus singing by the
choir was most enjoyable. The Rev.
Alex. Macintosh occupied the pulpit
and his discourse was most appropri-
ate to the occasion The collection
taken up was for the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts. At the conclusion of the service
the organist, Wray Taylor, played a
Harvest Thanksgiving march.

FOR WHOM sPEAKEsT THoU9

Now that the Fort street oracle
has settled back into the position of
a bucking mule-won't 90 ahead,
won't endeavor to explain itself,
won't do anything but kick and
bite-nothing viii be lost by de-
voting a little more space to Its
political meanderings. In the first
place. the oracle seems TO have be
come strangely mixed in associat-
ing this paper with the apparently
offensive official board Of the An
nexarion Club. This paper Is by
no means the mouthpiece Of the
Club, and the official board have
treated with supreme contempt the
unfortunate, almost cowardly, in
situations made against them.
Doubtless they viii continue to fol
low the same plan until the oracle
has the courage, if such it pos
sesses. TO come from under cover
and in an upright, man-fashion
style designate the push who
have herded the herd into the sup
posed wrecking the Annexation
Club.
Again, whom does the oracle
represent! Certainly not members
Of the Annexation Club, since the
herd and the herders are working
together most harmoniouslv, doing
all that Is possible to push the an
nexation movement forward by
gathering up the lines temporarily
dropped some months ago. Who,
then, Is the person who arrogates
to himself the rights of censorship,
and what are his proven qualifca-
tons for the oficel Possibly the
oracle viii kindly rise to explain.
1t has not shown that it has voiced
the sentiment Of any of the friends
Of annexation: hence the natural
conclusion that one to three men
In the country must have very posi-
tive though sadly mistaken opin-
ions. Now these individuals have
a splendid opportunity to come out
in the open and declare themselves
like men. Now there Is a splendid
chance for the oracle 10 cover itself
with glory and prove to the coun-
try that its editorial expressions
represent the sentiment of one
even one-eood, live, earnest and
whole souled American or Ha-
waiian annexationist. Nothing has
ranspired thus far to prove that
such Is the case. Whatever the or
acle may do, we hope something
NAV now be heard from the direc-
ton Of the Annexation Club.

The Japan Mail is authority for
the assertion that japanese officials
are the least corrupt of any ma
tional representatives on the face
of the globe. In strict attention
to duty they rival the Prussians,
but they have still greater adj
vantage in always being polite. IF
a japanese official is not polite it
is always the fault of some for
eigner who, because he happens to
have money enough to go globe
trotting, acts as if the whole earth
belonged to him." If this Is true,
and we do not doubt it, Japan has

No better tribute TO the pur-
poses and spirit of the Christian
Endeavor Society has been given
than that expressed by the Catho-
lie Review when it said recently:
IF we can transfer little of their
enthusiasm and intense zeal and
devotion to the tepid, half-hearted
portion of our own people who are
mere nominal Catholics, we need
not be ashamed to acknowledge
ourselves indebted to them for a
very valuable acquisition. One
of the greatest blessings of the
Christian Endeavor movement is
its tendency to wipe out denomi-
national lines and unite all hui
mainly into one grand army for
furthering higher Christian man
hood and womanhood. While this
comment of the Catholic Review
by no means presupposes any com
bination of religious beliefs, it is
not impossible that the seeds OF
broadened and more liberal ideas
Gown by the Protestant society
may in years to come result in
breaking down to a great degree
the barriers which now separate
powerful religious bodies by sharp
ly defined lines. The march of civ
ilization for centuries past has
been along these lines, and there
is no reason to believe that it will
not contiue in the same pathway.
