now comes from Roberts Island that the
Chinese leper who died there last week
was murdered. Nothing was developed
at the inquest, but the idea was broached
that the MonRolian committed suicide to
escape death at the hands of his country
man. Now it is limited that their threats
were carried out, and that the Chinese
was poisoned. An island resident stated
that he believed the ieper's food had been
poisoned. Health Officer Harkness knows
OF mum ber OF threats having been made

Pochimo Potatoes in soues.

MONTEREY, CAL, Aug. 27.. - The
producers hereabou,s, particularly in the
Salinas Valley, have adopted new method
ofpacking pota toes for shipment. Instead
of putting them in sacks the Monterey
County farmers are packing them in 100
pound boxes. In this manner the po-
tatoes reach the consumer in a more at
tractlve shape, are less liable to become
bruised and the customer can see exactly
what he is buying. Buyers are so pleased
with the new method that tine boxed po-
tatoes command 25 cents more per 100
pounds than those in sacks.

4 SHARP TRICK.

When the L. s. Commissioner S. c.
Hurlburt attempted many years ago, to
obtain from the Congress. Of Columbia
an exclusive right for the United States
to construct and own canal across the
Panama isthmus, he met an active OPP
ponent in Mr. Bunch, the British Com
missioner. Mr. Hurlburt was on friend
~ terms with the members of Congress
and belived he had succeeded in his
purpose. But the British Commissions
er quickly told the natives, who We're
all Roman Catholics, that the Ameri-
cans were vile Protestants, who would
in time destroy their religion. On Good
Friday, he put the British flag at half
mast, and joined in the procession,
which moved to the cathedral, with
lighted taper in each of his hands, and
made himself devout worshipper Mr..
Hurlburt's scheme was defeated, and

tary of State, in Washington, he allud-
ed with feeling to the strange means"
the Englishman had resorted to.

Only the seXtant and quadrant fix
the true position. If there was
correct navigation by stars in
those early days, there can be the
same navigation now. Science
has not gone backward. There
need be no guess work on this
point.
If these voyages were sys
tematic, instruments of naviga
ton must have been used. Mr..
Smith tells us that the people of
Hawaii, Tahiti. Samoa, and of
many hundreds of other islands
have a common language. com
mon customs. and many of their
utensils are alike. If any instru-
ment for navigation was used,
why have the people Of every one
of these Islands lost all memory or
suggestion of it? Such an instru
ment would be far in advance of
the tools in common use. The fact
that all of these disconnected com
munities, have no remembrance
or suggestion of instruments, is
almost conclusive that there were
none.
Assuming that our argument is
correct, the "drift'theory alone
accounts for the spread of the
IPolynesian race. The present gen

THE JAPANESE MATTER.

When President Mckinley says
In his message that: ''the questions
which have arisen between Japan
and Hawaii by reason OF the treat
ment of japanese laborers emigrat-
inc to the Islands under the IIa-
waiian japanese convention OF
1888, are in a satisfactory stage OF
settlement by negotiations" he
makes curious error. All of the
correspondence between the Gov
ernments of Hawaii and Japan,
makes little reference TO the Con-
vention of 1886 mot 1889. That
convention regulated immigration
to these Islands, and provided that
the Government of Hawaii should
send to Japan for laborers, and the
agent of the japanese Government
should supply them. After while
the planters went behind" the
Convention and secured laborers
in another way, and the japanese
emigration companies also went
behind" the Convention. Both
Goyernments stood aside and
ignored it.
The chief point now made by
Japan, in the dispute is, not that
the Convention had been abandon
ed but that the treaty of 1871 has
been violated. The chief point
made by our own Government is
that we have the ''inalienable'
right to violate it, under certain
conditions. The arbitrator mus
decide the question.
The curious inaccuracy OF the
Presidents message seems to indl
cate that the State Department ha
not very carefully studied the case
There is no special reason that i
should, after arbitration was agreed
upon. But the historical error re
mains.
In the event of annexation, i
this dispute is not settled, the Stat
Department will master the sub
ject.
The negotiations regarding thu
dispute will probably not be trans
ferred to Washington, because
there is no occasion for it. If the
Japanese can get better terms from
the United States, with the consent
of Hawaii, the matter mi GIT be re-
moved to Washington. We have
some reason to believe that the Jap
anese Government is quite satisfied
with the situation as it Is.

POLYNESIAN NAVIGATION.

guently visited each other in ca
noes. The question arises at once,
how did these early navigators lay
and keep their courses, without
the compassionate did they have?
If they steered by the stars, how
did they do it?
Fernandez agrees with Mr..
Smith in the belief that there
were many long voyages made in
the early days. He and Mr.. Smith,
therefore, having assumed that
these long voyages were made,
believe and claim that
there must have been a sufficient
and correct method of navigation.
Those who disagree with them
claim that if there was any suffi-
cient art or instrument of naviga-
ton, there would be evidences of
it at the present time, or at least
a tradition about it. Fernandez
says that the Norsemen visited
Iceland and Greenland without a
compass, and therefore the Poly
nesians might leave Hawaii and
reach Tahiti, without compass.
But Iceland and Greenland are
barn doors in comparison with
which Tahiti is only a needle ris-
ing out of the ocean. A Morse
man, sailing north would invari
ably hit something, and then
coast. The Polynesian would hit
the needle point of Tahiti or be
lost.
