A COUNCILMAN's UMBRELLA AFIRE
A Ripple of Excitement on Main
Street Yesterday AbOut Noon.

street Yesterday About Noon.
Mr.. Sol. L. Bloomberg the well-known
lawyer and member of the Common
Council, had very remarkable expert
ence about noon yesterday.
His friend and brother.attorney, Mr..
Alfred r. Cohen. formerly of this city,
but now of New York. came to town
a day or two ago. and he and Mr.. Bloom
berg met at the corner Of Tenth and
Main streets and stopped for a little
chat The Councilman carried a new
gloria-silk umbrella, and while in con-
versation with Mr.. Cohen some one OBJ
served that Mr.. Bloomberg's umbrella
was on fire. The Councilman glanced
down quickly, only TO see flames roll
ing up his umbrella. Both he and others
near him went vigorously 10 work 10
extinguish the blaze, but it was with
out avail The fire Wa not oxtinguished
until all the silk had been burned on
the frame. Then Councilman Bloomberg
walked slowly and meditativeiy up the
street wearing a very benign cOunte-
nance, and carrying the handle and ribs
Of his formerly beautiful umbrella.
No one seems to know the cause of
the fire, but It is thought that some
one must have tossed a lighted cigar or
cigarette stump into its folds.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-05-17
TREATY MATTERS.

There are several views to be taken
of the present position of the Treaty
in the United States Senate. The
dropping of the clause emphasizing
that nothing in the bill shall be re-
garded as abrogating the Hawaiian
Treaty, is by no means conclusive
that the Treaty will be abrogated. 1t
means as much as anything that the
party opposed to the Treaty are going
to try a sop to Cerebeus. They know
that the Treaty men are strong; but
they also know that there are weak
vessels who, though favoring the
Treaty in part, may be caught by
some compromise measure. 1t is this
compromise measure which the oppo-
nents of the Treaty wish to bring in.
There is no need yet of feeling
down hearted. The friends of the
Hawaiian Republic keep rallying
round and are ever increasing. The
Pacific Coast is taking the very great
est interest in the fight and many who
were luke-warm month ago, are
awakening up to the advantages of
the Hawaiian trade.
Up to the present it is only the COM
mercial side of the Hawaiian question
which has been brought up. Even on
this basis it has been shewn that the
balance is not what it has been repre-
scented, and when the committee talk
of the islands getting $10,000,00O a
year, of course that is sheer non
snse, and everyone must know it. But
when the Hawaiian matter comes to
be debated upon the floor of the SEN
ate, there will be opportunity for
bringing forward the national argu
ment with telling force, and there are
enough true statesmen in that body
TO fully appreciate them.
There are some people who think
that the dropping of the clause is
only step towards annexation. That
as the islands were to be annexed. it
was no use putting a clause in which
would be of no practical use. as the
islands would become an integral
part of the United States.
There is one thing certain-the fight
is by no means over. We have vigor-
Gus friends who are working their
utmost to maintain the "status quo"
and the dropping of the clause does
not mean a sudden end to the pros
perity of the islands.
