NAVAL DEVELOP MENT
An Important Contribution to the Study
of the Subject.
Notes on the Years Progress Contains
q Number of Interesting and
Instructive Chapters.

The Intelligence bureau of the Navy De-
partment has just issued its annual volume
Of "Notes on the Years Naval Progress"
which has come to be looked forward to
with great interest. not only by naval off,
GERS, but by every person interested in
naval development. Owing to one of the
restrictions imposed by the last printing
act, it has not been possible to print more
than thousand copies Of this valuable
work. notwithstanding the fact that this
number is less than the number Of naval
officers on the active lists, who are sup
posed to be supplied with the work in fur
therance of their technical education. So
1t happens that the department has been
obliged to cut off not only the press and
foreign legations, heretofore supplied as
courtesy. bat also all Of the junior officers
oI the service. the very persons who would
most benefit by the study of the volume
The Jnpnn-Chinesc War.
The leading feature of this number is
set of preliminary notes on the Japan-
Chinese war compiled by Lieuts. H. M.
Witzel and L. Karmany, who were present
In Chinese waters during the progress of
the late war. and thus set out compendious-
ly the principal events of the conflict from
q naval point of view, with the intention
of following up the subject and trea ting It
much more literally, especially in the mat
ter of comment, in special issue to appear
later on.
A chapter on small arms shows that the
European powers have found a caliber as
small as .197 entirely feasible for rife
and, In fact, are looking forward to still
smaller calibers. The British authorities
have been making many experiments to de-
termine the penetration of the bullets into
different substances, with view to ascer-
tanning the best protection to afford to
troops. and the results are all set out in
this chapter.

Break Down of British Boats.

1t may surprise the American public to
learn that during the British maneuvers no
less than forty-five ships broke down in
sc me more or less important portion of the
machinery, requiring in most cases to be
put out of action and sent to the nearest
backyard for repairs Somehow the tor
pedo boats which did such great service in
the preceding maneuvers did not come up
to expectations this time in the case of
Great Britain. but, on the contrary, in the
Ere nch maneuvers they were so effective
as to lead to the conclusion that most of
the hostile fleet would have been sunk had
the engagement not been a sham. One les
son derived by the British from the expert
ehce was that the maintenance of a high
rate of speed is one of the best safeguards
for ship while in waters supposed to be

Il think | may honestly say that our
trip has been successful. We have found
out some things we didn't know before,
and have also nd an opportunity to
present our side of the question.
Our coming to Honolulu was due to
the impression that had gained ground

that the island had not received the at

came down to assist the Legislative
delegation, and were received cordially
By them on our arrival. We were in

poets Some New Jokes,

The second performance by
Company d minstrels took place
Sunday night and was a great i'm
prOvement over the previous one.
There were no changes in the
first part, except that \. E. Muir
Iphy succeeded Mr.. Hogs as inter
| lOcutOr and there was a reduction
of two in the number of come
dams.
The songs were rendered much
better than at the first perform
ance, and the jokes, which were
all extremely local, were better told.
Mr.. Ramsay's song was entirely
original, and was really very good.
He showed considerable talent in
getting recent local events into
his verses. The other songs were
the same as last week, but very
much better sung.
w. II. Charlock as the hypnOtist
in the OliO acquitted himself very
well. The act could have been d
little longer and not tired the
audience. The gem of the olio
was Vierra, Jackson and Westoby
as the Chinese laundrymen. Bar

makeup of jackson and WestOby
the act was perfect. If the young
men will allow suggestion, here
goes. Laundrymen do not wear
bamboo hats while washing and
ironing indoors.
Messrs. Ordway & Hennesy in a
musical act and 3. L. Finney in
his peerless club-swinging act
were exceptionally good.
The afterpiece, which was q
vast improvement on that of last
week, was gotten up by Charlie

gradually being filed in by the earth
washed from the mountains.
THE climate of Hilo is changing. The
moisture that was once deposited on the
sea coast now falls further up the
mountain sides, and the stretch of sea
coast that was once comparatively level
is now cut up by numerous gullies. The
accretiOn on the HilO water front re-
sulting from the earth washed from the
mountains has amounted to 100 feet in
ten years. This accretion is increasing,
and makes the present wharf almost in
accessible unless kept free by constant
dredging.
''On the Waiakea side, one and half
miles from the town. the shore is free
from this Matchmaking system of the
elements. Within 100 feet of the shore
line of the proposed Waiakea harbor
landing there is twenty feet of water,
and 500 feet from the shore there is
twenty-seven feet. The current passing
through the Cocoanut Island channel
scours the shore free of the deposits
that are filing in the other side of the
bay.

no reason to believe our mission was a
failure. On the contrary, 1 believe we
have reason to feel highly gratifed.
The impression is erroneous that there
is any jealousy in the outer districts to-
ward Honolulu. We begrudge it moth
ing, and are proud of the capital city.
1t must be plain to all business men
that as the development of the out
side districts is carried forward, homes
made and land occupied, a desirable
class of citizens is obtained, all of which
serves to increase the revenue that
finally finds it's way into the Govern
ment vaults"
