See Yups are Celebrating and
House Warming.
The formal opening of the new hos
pital, joss house and meeting place of
the lately incorporated See Yup Bene-
VIOLENT Society took place last night
The building is situated on King street
just Waikiki of Liliha and is a two
story structure. The interior is richly
furnished in oriental splendor and has
a dazzling effect upon the beholder. On
the second floor is the joss surrounded
by jilt carving, embroidery, tinsel and
bric-a-brac galore. In the rear of the
big house is an eight-room building
to be used as a hospital by members
OF the society who cannot afford to
provide medical attendance for them
selves.
The incorporators of the society are
Chu Gem, Weesing L. Chong, Lee Tat
San, Lam Tai, Kee Kan, Ng Gang,
Thow Choy, L. Hee and Ng Monwai
and the object "the aiding, succoring
and supporting, sick, disabled and in
digent of such of their countrymen
who belong to the See Yup Tribe
The celebration will continue today
and tomorrow when the joss will be
installed in his niche amid a great
clash of symbols and pounding of
drums much appreciated by those who
understand it.

Intelligence Of Swallows.

Grant Allen tells some curious and
wonderful things about swallows. In
making the mud walls of their nests.
they allow each layer to dry thorough
ly before proceeding to top it with an
other. In building their nests in CHM
neys they place them five or
six feet below the top to keep out Of
the way OF owls, and not directly over
the fire, but over an adjoining flue.
The emergence of the young birds
from this place is a remarkable in
stance of instinct which seems to al
most reach intelligence. AS soon as
they are strong enough to move, the
little things Chamber up the shaft by
beating their wings "in some ineffect-
ual compromise between flop and a
fiutter. Having succeeded in reaching
the top, it is some time before they
venture to fly; they acquire the art by
degrees" Many instances have been
given Of their remarkable intelligence.
In one case a bell-wire on which a
swallows nest partly rested twice de-.
molished it. Convinced that it was a
dangerous object, they constructed a
tunnel for the wire to pass through,
and were troubled no more. In an
other, a pair Of swallows were mo.
Tested by sparrows trying to force
them from their nest. They imme.
diately went to work and changed the
entrance of their little home so that.
instead of opening by simple hole It
had to be entered by passing through
tunnel of straws and hairs.

CARING FoR TOURISTS.

Wide-Awsks Japansss Organization e.
Lock After Foreigners.
The large number of tourists who
in recent years have visited Japan have
added considerably to the revenue Of
tho country. 1t has been calculated
that every visitor spent IN his travels
not less than $500, and the aggregate
result Of tho arrivals from foreign
parts meant 100000 and $3,0oo,o0o
to Japanese bread-earners, Gays tho
Pittsburg Dispatch. Most of this fell
into the hands of curio dealers, who
palmed off inferior goods on ignorant
westerners, and Of the guides who
acted as their agents. To remedy this
abuse 4 society was formed In 1ss3.:
on tho initiative OF a number Of
japanese noblemen and gentlemen, as.
sisted by several influential foreign
residents. Its objects were to extend;
q welcome to foreign tourists and to
render them every assistance during;
their stay in Japan. 1t aims at bring
ing within the tourists reach means Of
accurately observing the features Of
tho country and the characteristics Of;
tho people; visiting public buildings
and places famous for scenic beauties:
seeing objects of art, both ancient and
modern; entering into social and COM
mercial relations with the people; In
short, affording them all facility and
convenience toward the accomplish.
ment Of their aims, thus indirectly
promoting, in however small degree,
the cause of International intercourse
and trade. Arrangements are made
for the provision of trustworthy guides,
and facilities are given for travel and
sightseeing. Entrance is obtained to
all the government establishments and
to tho places of interest In different
parts of the country. 1ntroducttons
are provided to manufacturers and
merchants, so that although tho main
object Of tho society Is OF social ma
ture, It may be Of great service to
those who go to Investigate commercial
and Industrial conditions. According
to the rank or personal record OF q
tourist, the society will introduce him
at his request to any Japanese noble
man or gentleman, If the circumstances
seem to warrant such an Introduction.
In the case Of distinguished tourist
the society might make arrangements
at its own cost to entertain him, 10
that its members and friends may
make his acquaintance.

Protection OF the Fur Seals.

The efforts which had been made dur
ing the two previous years by my prede-
cessor to secure better protection to the
fur seals in the north Pacific ocean and
Boring sea were renewed at an early date
by this administration, and have been
pursued with earnestness. Upon my invi-
tation the governments of Japan and
Russia sent delegates to Washington and
an international conference was held dur
ing the HIS and November
last, wherein it was unanimously agreed
that under the existing regulations this
species Of useful animals was threatened
with extinction. and that an International
agreement of all the interested powers
was necessary for their adequate protec-
ton.
The government Of Great Britain did
not see proper to be represented at this
conference, but subsequently sent to
Washington. as delegates, the expert COM
missioners of Grta Britain and Canada
who had, during the past two years, Wis
tied the Pribilot islands and who met
in conference similar commissioners on
the part Of the United States. The result
of this conference was an agreement on
important facts connected with the con-
lition Of the seal herd. heretofore in
dispute, which should place beyond con-
trovcrsy the duty OF the governments
concerned to adopt measures without de-
lay for the preservation and restoration
of the herd. Negotiations to this end are
now in progress the result Of which
hope to be able to report to congress at
an early day.

Resources of the Navy.

The present Immediately effective force
of the navy consists Of four battleships
Of the first class, two Of the second and
forty-eiSht other vessels ranging from
armored cruisers to torpedo boats. There
are under construction five battleships of
the first class, sixteen torpedo boats and
one submarine boat. No provision has
yet been made for the armor of three Of
the five battleships, as it has been impos-
sble to obtain it at the price fixed by con-
gress. 1t is Of great Importance that
congress provide this armor. as until then
the ships are of no fighting value. The
present naval force, especially in view Of
its increase by the ships now under con-
struction, while not as large as that of a
few other powers. is a formidable force;
its vessels are the very best of each type:
and with the increase that should be
made to 1t from time to time in the flu
ture, and careful attention to keeping It
in a high state Of efficiency and repair. it
is well adapted to the necessities of the
country. The great increase of the navy
which has taken place in recent years was
justified by the requirements for nat 'ona'
defense and has received public appro-
baton. The time has now arrived, how
ever. when this Increase, to which the
country Is committed, should, for time,
take the form of Increased facilities COM
mensurate with the increase Of our ma
val vessels. 1t is an unfortunate fact that
there is only one dock ON the Pacific coast
capable of docking our largest ships. and
only one on the Atlantic coast, and that
the latter has for the last six or seven
months been under repair, and therefore
incapable Of use. Immediate steps should
be taken to provide three or four docks
of this capacity on the Atlantic coast, at
least one on the Pacific coast and float
ing dock on the gulf This is the recon-
mendation Of very competent board. APP
pointed to investigate the subject. There
should also be ample provision made for
powder and projectiles, and other NUM-
lions of war, and for an increased num-
Der OF officers and enlisted men. Some
additions arc also necessary to our navy
yards. for the repair and care Of our
larger number OF vessels. AS there are
now on the stocks five battleships Of the
largest class. which cannot be completed
for a year or two, concur with the rec
concentration II the secretary Of the
navy for an appropriation authorizing the
construction of one battleship for the
Pacific coast. where at present there Is
