Twelfth Day.
THURSDAY, March 5th.

THURSDAY, March 5th.
The Senate had another day of
small attendance. Vice President
Kauhane presided in the absence of
President Wilder. After the open
ing preliminaries Senator Brown
reported that the Senate Bill
No. has gone to the President
for signature. The Finance Commit
tee reported fsvorably on DR.. Rodgers
petition for back salary.
Amendments to the bill providing
fer the construction of streets in Hilo,
were reported by the Committee on
Public Lands.
Senator Lyman gave notice OF bill
for acquiring and reserviDg lands in
Hilo for public use.
The various committee reports were
tabled to be considered with the bills
to which they related and the Appro-
priation Bill was taken up under the
order Of the day.
The report of the committee on the
Kaiulani pension of $4,000 was accept
ed and the item passed without oppo-
sition. Senator McCandless also ask
ed for a pension of $500 for Olaf Evan
son who suffered permanent injury
while in the service of the Govern
ment. This was not grated.
The appropriation for the military
OF S136, 900 then came up. The Mill
tary Committee favored the item as in
the bill.
Military Appropriations.
Senator Brown said he thought the
military item WAS altogether too large.
About 100000 was going to the sup
port of the military. The income of
the country was 81, 700 600. With the
support of the military, lepers and
police we expend almost one-haIf the
income. / may be wrong, but L be-
lieve the country has reached a con
ditlon where we can do away with
one-half the amount for military.
Minister Damon hoped that before
the item was put to vote each mem
Der would take care to examine care
fully into the matter. The sum was
largely anticipstory. "We do not
need it now and may not need it,"
He hoped for q special committee to
further examine into the conditions
and needs OF the military.
Senator McCandless said: I" My idea
is that so long as we have the mill
tary we have no need for it, but if we
do away with it we shall need it right
away. In my opinion We need the
military as much now as we ever did.
We shall always need the military
until we have change of flag in this
country"
Following this Mr. McCandless read
the detailed report of the pay roll at
the headquarters as follows:

THE RIO DE JANEIRO.
Conflicting Rumors Regarding her
Return.
Nearly a Million In Specie on Board.
Danger In Going Ahead-Inter-
view With First Oflcer.

For forty-eight hours past there
have been rumors concerning what
seemed to be the mysterious turn
ing back of the Rio de Janeiro and
beginning voyage of 2200 miles
when their nearest port was 900
miles less.
The fact that the officers of the
steamer told perfectly straight
story convinced the skeptics that
there was something very wrong
in the whole affair.
Chief Officer Robinson was seen
yesterday by an ADVERTISER re-
porter and questioned regarding
the rumors. He showed no hesita-
tion whatever in giving an account
OF the voyage and supporting his
statement with his official log.
"We were just 1900 miles from
Yokohama said Mr.. Robinson
"when the captain decided. to re-
turn. We had experienced bad
weather for a number of days, and
the force of the wind registered six,
seven, eight, and as high as nine.
When you consider that a hurri-
cane is reckoned as ten you will
understand the kind of weather we
had.
"Sixteen days out from San
Francisco, the day we were actu-
ally due in Yokohama we consum-
ed fifty-six tons of coal and made
sixty-two miles. At this rate every
particle of our fuel would have
been exhausted, had we continued,
and we would have been miles
away from port with winds and
currents against us while in going
toward Honolulu we would have
both in our favor. 1t was only
after mature deliberation and after
a thorough canvass of the situation
that the steamer was turned about.
"The result was satisfactory TO
every one," continued Mr.. Rob-
inson, cas- we had wind and cur
rents with US and made 200 miles
on the consumption of fourteen
tons of coal. If the current had
not been with us we could not have
done this"
SIS there any truth that you
have considerable specie on board?"
was asked.
eyes indeedp replied the chief
officer; "a great deal of truth. We
have nearly million dollars in
coin for China and Japan. And
this fact will probably cause con-
siderable uneasiness, apart from
the fact that the vessel and cargo
is valuable. But it is Just such
occurrences as this that should ex-
pedite the passage of a cable bill
and the completion of the line. AS
it is there will be considerable un-
easiness felt at our being nineteen
days overdue; with a cable the
anxiety would have ended ten days

Confederate Pensioners.

The Pension Board for Sumter county met
Monday for the purpose of receiving appli.
cation for pensions from Ex-Confederate vet
erans who are eligible to receive portion Of
the State appropriation. There were in the
neighborhood OF a hundred applicants before
the board, but as the State Board had srns
an Insufficient number Of bl<uks, nll of them
could not file applications in accordance with
the form required by law Sixty eight sp-
plicat,ons were filed, and the others who are
eligible will 6le their applications when an
additional supply of blanks have been re-
ceived.
The number OF pensioners will be consider
ably larger under th~ new pension law than
heretofore, and the increasing aye Of the old
soldiers and their growing in6rmities n'so
have tendency TO swell the pension list as
many of them have been dependent for sup
port on their manual labor for years, and are
not no \ capable of earning sufficient for sus-
tenance. The State owes these old soldiers
much more than it Gao ever give them. and it
is to he hoped that 60 long as they live the
State will contribute as liberaly ns possible
towards relieving their necessities.

Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means wasting
away, aud dyspepucs of'en waste away as
badly AS comsunp'ives.
TIE reason people waste away is because
either they dont get enough to eat, or they
don't digest what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker

The Dispensary in Russia.

A few day ago Mr. Moses Green received a
letter from brother at bis old home 10 the
Russian Empire, in which it was stated that
the public sale of oil sorts of liquor had been
prohibited and that new system had been
put ints operation by the government. All
liquor, be said, is bottled and is cold only 10
bottles, and the sale of it by the drink, AS
had been the custom from time immemorial,
is prohibited. II would seem that Russia
has adopted the South Carolina dispensary
system, or the Gottenberg or Swedish sys
tem as it is known in Europe.
