FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING.

About O'Clock Yesterday morning fire
was discovered in the We:tZ building,
next to the dry goods establishment of
llcircnimus IL Brugh, and had it not been
for the prompt action of the fire compa-
MES great damage would have been done
In the rear of the building were two
rooms, one occupied by Mr.. Vert and
another by y. c. Aaron. The latter was
in his room, but Mr.. Wcrtz was out of
town, having been staying out of town at
night for the last month. When Mr.
Aaron awoke the clustering was falling
and the contents of the room were in IL
blaze. He seized one suit of clothes and
escaped, dressing on the outside. AS
soon as he got out he tried TO break into
the other room to see if it was occupied
and the noise attracted the attention OF
Officer Gee, who came To his assistance.
The fire surely originated in the room oc-
cupied by Mr.. Aaron, rs nearly every
thing in it was burned, and only one side
of the wall in the other room was burned
ut all. Just how the fire originated is
mystery, as there has been no fire in
either room foI some time The entire
contents of Mr.. Aaron's room were con-
sumed. his loss being about 1925. The
damage to the building is about 800,
fully covered by insurance.

@imeRy @o7picS.
JULY 8, 1897.
July 3, 1897.

Since our last announcement
the Iolani has arrived with a
very heavy cargo of kerosene
oil and in consequence the
price has dropped, making the
using of oil stoves more econ
omical than ever.
The demand for BLUE
FLAME Oil Stoves has been
SO heavy that it has been al
most impossible to carry a
stock large enough to supply
the call.
Where formerly we had on
the two styles, we now have
three sizes, the third size being
smaller than the other two.
The PORTABLE DEITZ
OIL STOVE is built on the
same lines as the coal and wood
stoves, with the exception that
it consumes oil. This stove is
complete with oven, kettle and
stew pan. We have smaller
styles in one, two and three
burners for heating milk ETC.,
that comes in handy when not
wishing to cook a full meal.
In coal and wood stoves and
ranges we have the Olive,
Bono and Pansy in three sizes
which are household jewels;
in larger stoves or ranges the
No. 7 Fisher Steel Range,
Columbus Nos. 7 and 8, and
the Empire City an excellent
range for country hotels, res
taurants and coffee shops. 1t
is not boasting when we say
that is is a hard matter to find
better assortment of stoves
of all kinds, sizes and prices
than we handle.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-07-07

ed this very question Of japanese
citizenship gave great cause for
thought to its trainers. The ques-
ton was squarely faced. 1t was
how to keep the Japanese out, and
it was accomplished.
Section ?, of article IS, reads:
An alien may be admitted to
citizenship upon the following con-
ditions, viz:
Ct. He shall have resided in
the Hawaiian Islands for not less
than two years.
-. He must intend to become
permanent citizen of the Republic.
g. He shall be able understand
ingly to read, write and speak the
English language.
-. He shall be able intelligent
ly to explain, in his own words, in
the English language, the general
meaning and intent of any article
or articles of this Constitution.
Reading so far, there would be
no reason why an educated Japan
csc or Chinese should not obtain
the citizenship, and people who
read the Constitution carelessly,
don't go further, but subsection s,
says:
IS. He shall be citizen or sub
ject Of a country having express
treaty stipulations with the Repub-
lie of Hawaii concerning naturali-
cation"
That settles the matter. There
is no country that has such treaty
stipulation and the Hawaiian Re-
public would never make any such
treaty stipulation with Japan, There
is no chance for Japanese to be-
come a citizen under article IS.
And Japan can claim no discrimin-
alton as shown against her, as she
could have under an Asiatic exclu-
sion clause, but it shuts out Japan
csc from becoming voters as thor
oughly as any exclusion clause,
In fact, subsection S is the sheet
anchor of Anglo axondom in the
Hawaiian Islands.
But the Eastern seeker after the
franchise might look under article
I9, headed, Domination" But
here again he comes against a snag
right off. Section I, says:
81. Letters of Denization of the
following classes may be granted
by the executive council"
Now no one could imagine an
executive council adopting such a
suicidal policy as granting the Jap
anese vote, but even if they felt
so inclined, subsection s, of ar
ticle IS holds good in matters of
denization except in the case fper-
sons who have resided in the Haw-
allan Islands, for period of seven
years or more prior to the date of
the PRONUNCIATION of the constitu-
ton. Thus, there is no loop-hole
by which the japanese voter could
creep in.
NOW the japanese government
knew this as we'll as any person on
the Islands and yet in the face of
this knowledge it has lodged pro-
test against annexation by the

The appointment of T. H. Glib
son to the position of Deputy-In-
spector General of Schools is a good
one. If the department had TO lose

the Inspector Generalship when Mr..
Townsend was appointed.
