and when the work is once per
formed, there is every probability
that it will not require renewal tor
many years, for this ocean is pro
verbally "as calm as mill pond, "
at least at certain seasons of the
year. The experience of the present
as we'll as the past four years, indi-
Gates that the venture will be a
paying one from the very opening
of the line. The necessities of the
American, japanese and Hawaiian
governments alone would have
called, as they still call, for large
amount of cable work. 1t would
seem feasible with all the idle cap
ital awaiting investment in the
United States and England, to or
ganize company and commence
work, even without a guaranty of
monopoly for this route. Expire
sident Cleveland did all he could to
induce action favorable TO the en-
terprises, but without success. In
one of his messages to Congress,
during his first term of Office, he
used the following forcible langu-
age: 'In the vast field of oriental
commerce now unfolded over our
Pacific borders, no features present
stronger recommendation for Con
oressional action than the establish
ment of communication by sub
marine telegraph with Honolulu.
The geographical position of the
Hawaiian group in relation to our
Pacific States, creates natural In
terdependency and mutually of
interest which our present treaties
were intended to foster, and which
make close communication a logi-
cal and commercial necessity"
Again, on another occasion, he
said: II express my unhesitating
conviction that the intimacy of our
relations with Hawaii should be
emphasized. AS result of the re-
ciprocity treaty, these islands, on
the highway of Oriental and Aus
tralasian traffic, are virtually an
outpost of American commerce and
stepping-stone to the growing
trade of the Pacific"

WANTED: A PACIFIC CABLE.


The frequent recurrence of long
intervals without the arrival or de-
parture of mails from or to San
Francisco, emphasizes the necessity
of a cable between this port and
San Francisco, and leads many to
ask, whether ''life is worth living"
here in Honolulu, without it? The
route, which has been thoroughly
surveyed between these islands and
Monterey Bay, short distance
south of San Francisco, has demon
strated the feasibility of laying one
over what has been termed by ex-
perts the best ocean bottom that
has ever been discovered. Compe-
tent judges have. given it as their
opinion that a cable can be laid at
less cost per mile and with less risk
for repairing breaks than in any
other ocean. The best possible bed
has been prepared by nature, APP
parently for this express purpose,

Reaches the Top Notch I'm History ot
the Trust.


NEW YORK, July 19.-Americap
Sugar Refining Company certificates
gave an exhibition to-day that was a
feature of one of the strongest and
most active markets since the present
bullish movements in stocks began
The entire market was Influenced by
advices from Washington that the
tariff bill conference committee had
reached an agreement upon the sugar
schedule.
The news brought general buying
orders into the market. These orders
were particularly heavy for Sugar Re
fining certificates. A mass of shout
ing brokers wildly endeavoring to ex-
ecute their orders was the scene wit
messed by spectators in the gallery
of the Stock Exchange who looked
down upon the sugar crowd" when
the market opened to-day. Simulta-
neously sales were made in different
sections of the crowd at quotations
three points apart, as the opening
was all the way from 1876 to 139. This
was against 1894, the closing quota
tions on Saturday, and broke the high
record OF 1877 7-8 made on Tuesday of
last week.
In the afternoon, after high reac>
ton, another burst of strength deveI-
oped, and in about ten minutes the
price travelled nearly five points up
ward, reaching 1441a, the highest OF
the day. There was great excitement
during this big advance, which was
attended with a rumOr that one or two
firms dealing in sugar had been caught
on the short side Of the market. The
short interest certainly suffered some
punishment.
The certificates subsequently reced-
ed from the extreme high price, but
transactions continued on a heavy
scale up to the close of the market.
The final sale was made at 142A.

The custom of allowing half
holiday on Saturdays is spreading
throughout the United States. \
fair proportion of the mechanics
and tradesmen, as well as the heavy
machine shops have introduced it,
some closing at one, two or three
o'clock instead of twelve. The
proprietors find that as much work
is done in a short Saturday as
formerly in any full day. The
banks, which have stood out very
firmly against the innovation, are
giving way to a noon or one O'Clock
closing, and have learned by ex-
perience that their depositors are
not incommoded, but prefer to do
their business with them earlier in
the day. The community general
ly looks now to Saturday afternoon
for an outing or errands of bust
ness or pleasure, The more recre-
alton of this kind that employees
have, the better they are equipped
for the labors of the week, and
generally more work can be done
and better work. They are some
kinds of business that cannot we'll
give up Saturday afternoons and
evenings, as these are the occasions
when the most customers are found
and frequently more business is
done than in any other two days
of the week. Still the custom of
making a half holiday is gaining,
and for the general advantage and
health of the people.

THE NEWS.

The dispatches received IN the
Moana's mail yesterday, of Annex
alton and the Reciprocity Treaty
were reassurring. On July Il, the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee ordered favorable report to
be made to the Senate on the An
nexation Treaty. No amendment
has been made to the convention.
The House has passed the Tariff
Bill without disturbing the clause
relating to Hawaii, and the Senate
has agreed on final conference
report. There will probably be no
further discussion of Hawaiian
affairs until the regular session OF
Congress in December. 1t would
be presumption to suppose that the
Senate will surely adopt the An
nexation Treaty from the mere
fact that the committee has sub
mitted a favorable report, and that
the reciprocity clause has been
unanimously adopted. The friends
of Annexation are firmly con
yinced that the future prosperity
and the safety of this country can
be assured only by annexation, and
that the benefits will be mutual.
There is also every reason to be-
lieve that Annexation is gaining
friends in the United States. But
the men who will fight Annexation
in the Senate in December, and the
forces that are arrayed against it
outside the Senate will not be idle
during the interim. The argu-
ments that have already been made
against Annexation will be re-em-
bellished and others will be pre-
pared, new campaign will be en-
tered upon and every effort made
TO either kill Annexation or abro-
gate the Treaty. Hawaii is under
fire. This is no time for an over
weaving confidence.
News was received that Japan
had agreed to submit the lmmigra-
ton controversy to arbitration.
Should this dispatch be correct
there is every reason to believe that
an amicable settlement will soon
be made of the difficulty. 1t is
likely that the strike of the coal
miners in Pennsylvania will be
settled by arbitration. This shows
a disposition on the part OF the
workingman and the employee to
avoid unnecessary suffering and
loss of wages and capital. 1t is
reasonable proposition. News from
the seat of war is brief. There
seems to be a disposition on the
part of the Porte to make conces-
sion and evacuate Thessaly. The
Cuban cause is growing and the
insurgent forces are said to be adj
vancing on Havana. From the in
terviews with Sir Julian Paunce-
fote in England there is a de-
finate plan to submit general Ar
bitration Treaty to the Senate at
the next session. Should the Sen
ate ratify such treaty it will be
one more step toward the formation
of an alliance between the two
great English speaking nations.

To him there were two objections to
annexation; the kind of people to be
taken, and the question of citizenship.
He quoted census statistics to show
what, TO his mind, was an undesirable
population. He had grave doubts that
the inhabitants would ever assimilate
well. He called the attention of his
audience TO the coal strikes, and asked
if the United States should increase
the mixture Of the population. In his
opinion, before even entertaining the
idea Of annexation the United States
should insist that the Island Govern
men settle all disputes with other
nations-Japan and others. We want
no entangling alliances; then, expel
all foreigners. such as Chinese and
japanese, whom we do not regard as
desirable citizens here; then, submit to
the vote of the bona-fide residents
alternatives, Americans, British,
Norwegians, Germans, French, wheth-
er they would desire annexation with
US; this should be done before we even
entertain a treaty.
Il regard this subject other than in
a commercial way Commerce is valu-
able-but secondary only. Without
nationality there can be no commerce"

PEDAGoGUEs MEET.
Kauai Instructors Talk Over
Various Subjects.

The Kauai Teachers Association had
very successful and enthusiastic
meeting at Lihue school house on
Thursday and Friday, October 7th and
Sth. John Bush of Kilauea presided.
There was very good attendance,
thirty-one teachers being present. AT
ter the reading of the minutes H T.
Austin intimated that he resigned the
Office of secretary. ]. B. Alexander was
appointed TO act in his stead. The fol-
lowing program was carried out:
Conversation lessons" by ]. C. Davis
of Hanalei, wherein he showed his
method of following out the new course
of study by having his pupils describe
actions taking place in the school
room. ]. K. Burkett followed with an
interesting paper on school museums,
and how TO prepare and preserve spe-
cimens. He showed a selection from
his own museum, which was examined
carefully, and admired by the mem
bers. A very methodical paper was
read by Miss Thomas Lihue on Lam
guage, in which she emphasized the
necessity of keeping good models ever
before the minds of the children. On
Friday morning, ]. B. Godfrey read a
paper on Numbers, wherein from his
experience, he came to the conclusion
that time should be devoted to the
concrete exposition of numbers, and
that the abstract should be ignored.
Miss Sharp's paper on supplementary
work was a careful treatment of the
subject of Busy Work.
Miss Joehnke in the absence of Miss
Sharp very kindly read the paper. H.
H. Brodie of Hanapepe presented his
paper on Playground English" In
it he hoped by means CT Competitive
Criticism to make the children aware
of errors, and therefore be more careful
of their speech. The paper led to a
great deal of discussion. Several de-
fects were pointed out by the teachers,
who had studied the subject in their
own school yards The author of the
scheme admitted the defects, but hoped
to improve his plan.
Miss Bush of -Kilauea read very
thoughtful paper on "Truthfulness"
and various remarks were made by the
members on the treatment of this diff
ficult subject.
]. F. Scott of Waimea read a very
spirited paper on School Manage
ment' John B. Freittas gave an ac-
count of his treatment of illustrations
in teaching, and of vertical writing.
On the subject of Devices" H. H.
Brodie showed his method of finding
noon on the playground, and exhibited
certain wind and weather charts.
The following officials were elected
for the next year: President, ]. C..
Davis; First Vice-President, Miss
Smith: Second Vice President,
Mrs. ]. B. Godfrey; Secretary and
Treasurer, j. F. Scott. On the whole
this was one of the most instructive
meetings of the association, and the
papers were of such a kind as to call
forth good discussions.
