The INDEPENDENT will go farther
and say that the arguments" utter
ed in Washington, or elsewhere in
the United States, will prove as
futile as the pocket syringe on
Punchbowl. In saying this we may
be doing the New York editor of
the Advertiser out OF a soft billet as
a dissemination OF campaign lies at
some point OF vantage in America;
but it is better to face The facts now,
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-03-16

The Bulletin, with the zeal of a
turncoat, reads the Advertiser a
lecture for its pessimstic utterances
on the cause supposedly dear to the
heart Of Mr.. Dole and his 60 CON
spirators of January 1898 But it is
not difficult to understand the
reason for the perturbation of the
mercenaries of the evening paper
If the campaign is to be discontinued
the evening paper will be cut off
from source OF supplies that has
proved savior ia more than one
pinch.

The Pacific Mail Steamship
Company's steamship China will
sail out Of the port Of San Fran
cisco today flying the Hawaiian
flag, says the San Francisco
Chronicle Of August 8. II was
decided yesterday by the officers
of the company to place the big
vessel, which is the crack ship OF
the Pacific Mail feet, under the
Hawaiian flag without loss of
time, aud it is said in maritime
circles that this action on the part
of the company indicates a belief
among the officers of the company
that the annexation OF the islands
ia likely to be accomplished in
the very near feature.
As was announced in the press
dispatches few weeks ago, the
steamship China secured q Hawai-.
ian register just on the eve of
the suspension by the Hawaiian
Government of the issuance of
registers to foreign vessels. 1t
WAS known that for some months
the company contemplated regis
tering the China under the Ha-
waiian flag, ard when the big
steamship was granted her Hawai-
ian register the interesting ques-
ton was as to when she would
make her first trip under the flag
of Hawaii. This matter was de-
cided upon yesterday and last
evening an entire new crew was
shipped for her trip to the Orient,
on which she departs today. The
register shows that George Mac
farlane is the new owner of the
shin, II is required hv the laws
of Hawaii that no vessel can Sc
cure a Hawaiian register unless
she be owned by a citizen of the
islands or a Hawaiian corporation.
To meet this requirement the yes
sci was transferred to the posses
sion of Colonel Macfarlane by the
China Steamship Company, its
former owners of record.
Various reasons have been as.
signed for placing the China un.
der the Hawaiian flag, but il is
known that the prospect of the
annexation of the Hawaiian isl
snds is the cause of it all. 1t may
not be we'll known fact, but the
maritime regulations of the Unit
ed States will not permit a foreign
vessel to do a coastwise trade. A
foreign vessel can have but one
port of entry in this country,
which in the case of the Pacific
Mail ships is San Francisco
Should the Hawaiian islands be
annexed to the United States, Ho.
nolulu would become an Ameri.
can port and the steamer China,
being a British vessel, would be
prevented from touching at the
islands. This difficulty will now
be obviated by placing the China
under the Hawaiian flag, for when
the islands are annexed the steam
ship China will fly the American
flag.

Of Admiral Mares

One Of the Directing Omcers . Son
Of Admiral Mares.
On the recent cable surveying
cruise of III. B. M. s. Penguin,
Lieutenant G. Brewis took no
less than $500 soundings in
Palmyra Island lagoon, S. lat.
5:52:1S; W. long, l62:05:OO.
AT Tanning Island lagoon Lieut.
ensnt Mares took 1000 soundings.
Each officer has made chart
with all those soundings marked
on it in plain figures. SO it will
be seen that there is no child's
play about the duties of survey
ing vessel.
Lieutenant Mares is a son of
Admiral Mares, retired, now di
rector of the Manchester Ship
Canal. That officer of the British
Navy won fame as an Arctic ex,
plorer, ascending to a higher lati-
tude than anyone up to Nansen.
He only refrained from going
farther to avoid the almost certain
catastrophe of the loss OF the
whole expedition. The record is
as follows:
"Sledges reached 83 :20:26, 18th
May, 1876. Passage to the Pole
declared to be impracticable. No
signs of open Polar Sea. Ships
wlntered o2:Si. onu absent l4z
days. No Esquimaux beyond
81 :52."
q. y. Mares retired with the
rank OF Rear Admiral thirteen
years ago. His son in the Pen
gum, Lieutenant Mares, gives
every promise of being "a chip OF
the old block"

Another Successful Production by the
Katie Putnam Company.
What the audience at the Opera
House lacked in numbers last
night it certainly made up in en-
thusiasm. The play was "Love
Finds a Way" and in the dual role
of Gay Howard, young heiress,
and Tommy Watkins, an up to
date young man, Katie Putnam
added another to the long list of
her suc-csaes. She vas ally sup :
ported by II. b. Emery, an old
topper who afterwards reforms,
and Messrs. Scott and Jefferson.
The finn of the piece was furnish.
ed by j. ID. O'Hara and Mollie
Stockmeyer and the audience was
kept laughing when they were on
the stage.
Miss Putnam's song in the Sec
cond act, "Honey, Does You Love
Your Man?" was doubly encored,
as were the topical rhymes of
O'Hara. Miss Putnam's company
is a good one and deserves better
support than it is now receiving.
The play for tomorrow night is
dads Girl" On Saturday night
"The Old Curiosity Shop" with
Miss Putnam in the characters of
Little Nell and the Msrchioness,
will be produced.

w. IL. Cooley and Mrs. Bertha Bollman
took a change of venue from the police court
yesterday to Justice Wen and the hearing
of the charge of adultery lodged against them
by Mrs. Cooley was commenced at the begin
ming. A demurrer was filed by the attorney
for the defense, alleging that the informl-
tlOn was faulty for the reason that 1t was
issued by the city clerk, who Is the legally
constituted clerk of the superior court. The
demurrer was based upon the section Of
the statute that provides that in all prelim-
mary hearings the informatlons must be
received by justice Of the peace or some
other lawfully constituted court, and the
power OF the city clerk to entertain the
complaint and issue the warrant was at
tackled. The justice held that the contention
was good and sustained the motion to dis
miss the case. A new information was i'm
mediately filed ani the hearing proceeded
with, 1t is the first time that such a ques-
tion has been raised, and naturally consider
able interest was awakened by the decision
OF the justice Of the peace, If 1t proves to
be good law, as 1t is generally conceded by
the attorneys to be, it viii make it impos-
slble hereafter for a criminal case to be
started in the police branch of the superior
court unless brought under the city ord-
nances, none of which can be state cases
The state put up very weak ease during
the afternoon, and unless some stronger evil
dence is forthcoming today the charge that
Mrs Cooley has brought against her hus-
band and her old time friend and neighbor,
Mrs. Bollman will fail.

MnrayYn Motor People Have Every
thInE PrennreG for the Voters.

NnnaYyn Motor People Have Every
thing Prepared for the voters.
Tie official ballots were punched up and
made ready yesterday for tomorrow's special
election. The final arrangements for the con-
test were finished and now the motor ccm-
pany is waiting with mixture of confidence
and anxiety for the result. There is no
| anxiety about a majority of the votes cast
| being cast for the measure, but the fear is
| that the total vote will be so light that it
will not give the company's proposition the
| hearty endorsement desired by it. The Of
| ticlal ticket Is a very complicated affair. 1t
| is simply small sheet Of paper with the
ordinance printed upon it and headed in
| large type: shall fr,ncflise be granted to
the Council Bluffs, Like Manawa & ECGt
| Omaha Construction company to construct
and operate street railway on the streets
avenues and public places of Council Bluffs?'
Beside the proposition j. a square marked off
for yes" and no" The ballot is so small
that but little time will be required to count
the total vote Of the city, even though an
ordinarily heavy vote is cast and it is ex-
pected that the result will be known within
an hour after the polls close.
The question of special policemen to serve
around the polling places was brought to the
| attention of Mayor CIrson yesterday by nu-
| merous applications for appointment to the
places The applicants supposed the mayor
had the authority to appoint them and were
greatly disappointed when Informed that
| the law provided for the appointment only
when the corporation asking the franchise
made a written request. Up to noon yester-
| day no such request had been made. The
| matter had not been called to the attention
| Of the company previously and when it was
| the decision was announced that no such
! officers would be appointed No trouble is an.
| ticipated and the presence of the tn-starred
| policemen is deemed superiuous.
Attorney FINLEY spent all day yesterday
holding infornr2l meetings about the city. He
encountered little opposition from any source
| and his chief work lay Ia arousing sufficient
| interest to get the mem to agree to get out
and vote. 1t was little odd that the only
men who were frank enough to declare their
| intention to vote and work against the or
| dinance were those VINO had conceived the
| impression that the company was asking a
| franchise authorizing it to opeTcte a steam
| tramway all over the city. Although the mat
| teT has been before the public and discussed
| in the newspapers more than almost anything
| else for months, there were many people
| found who had this impression. When it
was explained that no.aing but electricity
could be used in all parts OF the city with
| tho exception of the present line to Lake
| MaGlwa these men announced their willing
ness to vote for the measure.
| Several meetings were held last evening
| for the purpose Of working up interest in
| the election.

would buy any negotiable paper and we be-

Iowa is in pretty good shape this fall
although the hog cholera during the last

which is full of delay and veXation to the
