THE GUSHING BADLY USED.
Navy's Fastest Torpedo Boat Re-
Iieypd TO Re Ruined

Newport, 4. l., June 1.-THE torpedo
boat Gushing is now tied Up to the wharf
at the torpedo station, but for what reason
is known only to few persons outside naval
officers, and even they refuse 10 talk when
approached on the subject The deck over
the engines has been removed, and machin
lists are at work ON her. { would be int-
possible TO find body OF men who were
anSrieT than these, yet they refrained from
giving utteranCe 10 their feelings Last
fan the Gushing was sent TO the Norfolk
navy yard to be fitted with new steam
pipes Everything must have been taken
apart, and in putting things together q
wreck wasmade the boat
The Cushing was taken to Norfolk by
the present crew of the torpedo boat
Porter. and al that time she was in first-
class condition, with the exception that
new steam pipes were needed Her en-
gines worked finely.
1t is now found that the cylinder head
which was screwed on tight had been
taken off and an asbestos packing put in
between it and the cylinder This in
creased the interior OF the cylinder one
sixteenth of an inch, but they thought
they could remedy this by readjustment
of the piston rods. On the run up the
sound a week ago, when Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Navy Roosevelt was on board,
it was found that the blowers did not
WORK properly and an examina ton showed
that they also had been tampered with,
and in order to get a pressure of forty
pounds OF steam IL was necessary to
Use rope packing in the blowers. The
heads OF the screws in the Ma chinery
have been filed off and the only way to
get the screws out is 10 drill them out.
The officers of the boat are indignan,
and the engineer officer win undoubtedly
make an interesting report to the depart
nent, and lively developments are sure tC
follow.
This demonstrates that navy yard work
men do not understand the construct iOI
of this class of boats and their delicate
engines
1t is surmised here that when the boat
reached Norfolk political jobs were IN or
der. and it was reported that the boat
needed thorough overhaulng simply tC
give WORK to the men who have made q
wreck of this once fast boat.
She was built by the Hereshoffs. and
uQtll the buiIGtHE Oh IEe II OltSEs was SIe
fastest boat in the Navy.
At the Bureau of Steam Engineering il
was said yesterday that the trouble witt
the Cushing is that the bolts used in hel
const truction Were not the Governments
standard bolts, but of q special design
made by the HerreshOffs, and that, IL
all probability, when the Cushing was
o, ,erbauled some standard bolts were nsed
ard produced the result that has beer
described The Bureau of Steam Engi
neering has not had an engineer on the
Cushing for five or six months. The de
scriptions of the Cushing's condition, a.
teIcgraphed from Newport, is believed Il
be correct.
The use of the Herreshoff special bolts
screws and dies is blamed for the trouble
and it is said that it would not have
happened if standard bolts had been used
II is also said that the object in USING
the special bolts of the Herreshoffs is Il
force the Government to have repairs made
by that firm.

CAPITOL NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Flag Day was not very wei observed in
the United States Senate yesterday. One
would not have known that any member
OF the higher body of Congress knew that
there was such day, except for a very
large and pretty flag worn by Senator
Thurston. OF Nebraska he was alone In
his patriotism, however, for not another
flag was visible in the entire body. Even
Senator Mark Hanna, who, through the
national Republica COMMITTEES, insti-
tHted special flag day during the am
paign last fall, had not patriotism enough
to observe the day consecrated to the
memory of Old Glory. He appeared IN the
floor resplendept in a new summer suit,
with immaculate white vest, but the
American flag was missing. This all
goes to show how absorbed is the Senate
III the consideration OF the tariff bill and
che trusts. It surely could not have been
that these lawmakers of the nation had
forgotten the day. Perhaps, it was that
some OF them were ashamed to decorate
their forrns with anything so gorgeous
and bright as the American emblem OF
liberty.

come out here, and they will, too, when
once it is learned that first-class ho-
tel is in existence in Honolulu"
Those who know Mr.. James and the
success he has achieved in the man
agement of hotels, will know at once
that he means TO do just what he says.
What comfort it will be to the pub
lie to feel that there is really one place
in Honolulu worthy the name of a
first-class hotel People who are in the
habit of frequenting such places will
make no protest against money paid
out when they find that they are really
getting the very best of everything. 1t
is the paying out of money and re-
ceiving in exchange Therefor something
of an inferior quality that tests the
good nature of such people.
New blood has entered into the man
agement and arrangement of Hawaiian
Hotel affairs. Every person on the ISL
ands who has Hawaii's best interests
in mind must needs lend hearty sup
pert and encouragement to the new
regime Let Hawaii have a first-class
hotel and people from abroad, when
they have learned of it, will gather in
to give the place life and TO set more
money into circulation. This is the
opinion of those who are looking tC
see Honolulu possess first-class accom-
modations for tourists.

TAX COLLECTION.
What a Kona Man Says About
Hawaii.

w HAT says <1pOul
Hawaii.
A Kona resident called at this Office
last evening, and in the course of con-
versation, expressed desire to see a
change made in a method which, he
said, is sometimes used for collecting
taxes on Hawaii. 1t is his fear that
unless such a change is made the col
lectors may be liable to serious injury.
He said:
'As it is now, the deputy tax asses
sors and their assistants can stop a
Chinaman or Japanese on the road
and demand from him his receipt. OF
course, each and every one of the Off
GERS has right to do that. Now, what
under the sun is to prevent a rascal
who never saw the inside of a tax
Office from stopping man in lonely
place on the road and demanding his
tax receipt? This has been done many
times and bogus receipts have been
given to the poor fellows thus duped,
for upon coming to bona fide collec-
tor, just such useless receipts have been
found on their persons. The letters
lHdI the IdA UIlCclS Cdll dlOunu Win
them to show their authority cannot
be read by the majority of Cinnamon
and Japanese. The only way | see to
remedy the evil is to give each of the
tax officers a badge. That will soon
make the people know that authori y
is on the road.
"As it is now, the Chinese and JAP
anese have been fooled so often by bo-
gus collectors that they are beginning
to put on a bold front and are giving
the collectors trouble. 1t will only be
matter of time, if things are not
changed, when some collector will be
found dead on the road. The japanese
particularly are putting on an ugly
front
Il know of a thing that happened
only a short time ago and while it
does not bear on the tax matter, shows
the mood that people are getting into.
A native officer stopped a Chinaman
on the road and asked him for his
letter of release from the plantation
on which he had been working. The
Chinaman acquiesced very meekly and
reaching down, began to undo his
bundle. He jumped up again like a
flash and poked a SO calibre revolver
under the officers nose, saying at the
same time: There's my release. Do
you want it?' The officer spurred up
his horse and set out for home as fast
as the animal could carry him"

THAT FAST o. MAIL.

Gov. Eskridge, the editor of the En-
poria Daily Republican, has swiped
the skin off that fast mail job two or
three several times" He thinks that
an investigation Of the methods where
by the public moneys are thus sQuan-
dered should be had. In his last editor
ial upon the subject he admits that the
expedited 81 gobble does not affect the
Republican except in that it is just so
much money thrown away. ContiDu
ing, he says: "It appears that the post
Office department can throw the public
money out at the window with tea
spoon faster than congress can throw
it in with a, scoop shovel. Such extrav-
agant and useless expenditures should
be Investigated. A fast mail from Kan
sas City, No., to Newton, Kan, is as
useless as q pump without a handle or
a teat on q barrow. 1t is such ransac-
tons that tend to weaken the faith of
the average citizen in representative
government. All declarations to the eff
feet that the government should be
economically administered" become a
farce in the face Of such unnecessary
and expensive deals. It looks as If the
department had more money than 1t
knew what to do with 1t Is another
exhibition of extravaganza by reason
of appropriatng more money than
department requires, and shows that as
a general rule it is better that the est
mates should fall below than exceed
the amount absolutely necessary-that
a deficit, If not too great, u safer than
a surplus Congress should cut tho es-
Inmates short, reduce salaries and com
pel an economical administration Of
the government This fast mail should
be investigated, and the investigating
committee should come out here and so
over the route. ItShould take into con-
sideraIion the mail service on this route
before the granting OF the order for the
so-called fast mail. It should consider
the benefits, if any, as compared with
the expense, and should finally consider
whether it was necessary at all and
what influences prevailed in authoriz-
ing it.
If there Is any advantage in this fast
mail service why not extend it to other
parts of the state? Why not run fast
train out from Kansas City to Leaven-
worth, Atchison and other points in
the northeast? But the people do not
demand it: neither did they demand
this southwest train to Newton.
Again, we say this useless expenditure
Of money should be investigated.

IT WOULD HIT AND HURT.

There is a general dissatisfaction over
the sugar schedule. which has SO per-
p,exed the senate. 1t is known to con-
Sress, as to everybody else, that the
Sugar Trust has imported thousands Of
tons of sugar in advance, and that no
tariff can be placed upon that article
wi.luu. Immediately beneitting the
trus:. How to protect the sugar pro-
duct, to reap the revenue, and at the
same time not put money into the
pocket of the greatest trust extant. is
the question. AS that sugar can be
held forever. and as the tariff bill, with
out the sugar schedule, will meet all
proSepl demands for revenue, why not
add a prOviso to the sugar schedule
postponing the duty on sugar until De-
Gem iJer 10th, the converting Of the next
congress?
