WHY NOT REgRENCHq

The question which more than any
other presses upon congress is that OF
revenue. The senate has been cropping
about for revenue. The Republican
doctrine of protection has been largely
lost sight OF for the past two months
by the senate in its anxiety for rev
enue. They proposed tax on Tea. but
were answered by a universal protest.
Next came a proposition To tax bank
checks and stock and bond transactions.

ing in Unison Caused Large Vessel
to Rock-Bridge Crushed.

II know a good story, gentlemen
which | would like to tell you in the
best way, but | have hesitancy in
doing, so for the reason that | know
you will not believe it,"
This came from Mr.. C. A. Griscom,
Jr., manager of the international Nav
igation company, who arrived by the
Australia on a pleasure visit to the
islands.
Lets have it," interposed Capt.
Houdlette, who was among the party
sitting on the Hawaiian hotel lanai.
"Well,'I tell it," came Mr.. Griscom's
reply. 81 know you won't give it
credence, but it is as true as gospel
truth
"One of our boats had become dis
abled and it was put into the service
of transporting cattle up the river.
At the time | speak of the boat was
anchored in New York harbor. which
is as still as a mill pond. There were
some 200 cattle aboard her when [
went on deck. AS | entered the cap
tain's room the boat began to rock.
| enquired why it did this and the
captain replied that one of the large
steamers had passed by and caused the
motion.
"But the rocking kept up and we
went up on deck to ascertain the
cause. To our surprise we discovered
that no boats had passed. Upon fur
Their investigation we found the rock
ing to be caused by the cattle breath
ing. 1t seemed strange that they
should all be breathing in unison and
the weight of their bodies causing the
motion. The cattle were to be I'M
loaded and placed in another boat and
this was not accomplished until after

the other was crushed into sDlinters.' -

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
FIRST JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, RE-
PUBLIC OF HAWAII. IN PRO-
| BATE.
In the the Matter of the Estate of
Robert e. Brewer, Minor. Before
Perry, j., At Chambers.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ON APP
PLICATION OF GUARDIAN TO SELL
WARDS REAL ESTATE.
On reading and filing the petition of
Mamie r. Rice, the Guardian of Rob-
ert E. Brewer, minor, praying for an
order of sale of certain real estate, be-
longing to the said ward, being an I'M
divided one-twentieth part of the lands
and Entertainments on the Eva mabai
corner of Judd and Liliha Streets, in
Honolulu, which were conveyed by
Emma Kaleleonalani to John ID. Brew
er, by deed dated the goth day of April,
A. ID. 1875, and recorded in the Reg
istry of Deeds in said Honolulu in
Book AZ, pages 1S7-1SS, and now owned
by the heirs of Charles Brewer and
said minor as tenants in common, and
setting forth certain legal reasons why
such real estate should be sold, to-wit:
that the other owners have agreed to
sell their interests therein, and that
the title is in dispute and may be the
subject of litigation, and that there
fore it would be for the benefit of the
said ward that his interest in said real
estate be sold and the proceeds put on
interest or invested in some produc-
tive stock:-
1T is HEREBY ORDERED, That
the next of kin of the said ward and
all persons interested in the said es-
tate, appear before this Court on
Friday, the 5th day of March, A. d.
1897, at ten o'clock a. m, at the Court
Room of this Court in said Honolulu,
then and there to show cause why
an order should not be granted
for the sale of such estate.
AND 1T IS FURTHER ORDERED,
That copy of this order be published
on each Saturday for at least three
successive weeks before the said day
of hearing, in The Hawaiian Daily
Star newspaper, published in Homo
lulu, the last publication to be not less
than ten days previous to the time
therein appointed for said hearing.
Dated, Honolulu, II. l., Jan. 20, 1897.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Officers of the Regiment Discuss tn,
watch" Incident.

1t was Mark Twain who said that
a difference of opinion made horse
race" While there was no horse race
or any other kind of race at regular
meeting of the officers of the First
Regiment at headquarters last evening
still there was decided difference of
opinion as to the services rendered by
II. ii. Mclean, late Colonel of the No
tional Guard of Hawaii, toward the
volunteer companies.A
Maj Mcleod questioned the truth of
the statement that 80 per cent of the
volunteers regretted the retirement of
Co. Mclean. Lieut.-Col. Fisher wanted
to know if an officer was good enough
to be called upon to put up his share
toward the cost of gold watch, chain
and locllet, why he wasn't good
enough to be invited to Saturday
nights meeting when the tokens were
presented to the late Colonel.
Nothing was done about the matter.
The late Colonel was gone, carrying
in his vest pocket the handsome pres
ents given him and the whole thing
will be dropped.

GOOD CONCERT.
Pleasing Evenings Entertainment at
Opera House.

The farewell concert rendered to
Donald de V. Graham at the opera
house last evening was the most en-
Joyable musical treat that the people
of Honolulu have enjoyed for some
time. The popularity of the young
musician was attested by the presence
of highly pleased and appreciative
audience.
y very happily selected program of
eleven numbers was presented, and as
nearly every number called forth an
encore, it was late before the enter
tanners were permitted to finally re-
tire. 1t would be difficult to say
which most charmed the audience,
Nine. Marquardt's tuneful harp melo-
dies, the songs of Messrs. Graham and
Gillig and Lieut.. Slater, the violin
music of Miss McGrew, or the inimit-
able humor of James Wilder. 1t is
perhaps sufficient to say that all com
bined to make most charming even
ing, which will not soon be forgotten
by the music loving people of Homo
lulu. Not small share of the success
of the entertainment was attributable
to the able manner in which Oscar
Herold presided at the piano as ac-
to the singers.
