WHAT Is THE MATTER?

The Government refuses TO
give us the substance of the last
correspondence with the japanese
Cabinet. The only inference we
can make from this protracted
silence is that the correspondence
contains dreadfully serious matter,
or that it has been sent TO the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in the Jap
anese language, and as no outsider
can be admitted to translate it, and
every member of the Cabinet Is
sadly deficient in the Japanese Ian
guage, they are irving to translate
1t, with the X-Rays. This of course,
takes time The public must be
patient. There can be no other
reason for the delay. In the mean
time, with an impending danger
over us, with 'Ethe United States
gathering its fleets III the Pacific"
as our jingoes say, and the guns of
the Japanese's vessels Juggling away
at their lashings, in the expectation
of having something to do, our friv-
ilous, thoughtless people are indulg-
ing in luaus, dinners, wheel-rides,
picnics and dancing, instead of put
ting things in order, and preparing
for that tidal wave of gore, which
may submerge us, at any moment.
Why does not the President pro
claim a day of fasting and prayer!
Why does he not officially order a
"gloom" to spread over the COM
munity! Oh, for another warning
voice, from some island Byron, re-
peating, with Hawaiian adaptation,
"the eve of the battle of Waterloo"
'"This is solemn hour" as the
monkey said, when they took away
his chestnuts. Where, indeed, are
the churches2 Why are they not
arousing our fat, and lazy citizens
to a sense of duty? ooh, Kathleen
Mavourneen, what, slumbering
stilP'! While the horn of the Jap
anese huntsman is heard on the

The Government should relieve
us of this awful suspense, or the
luaus. and frivolities will increase.

yVEYLER STILL IN POWER.

CabIed His Resignation, But Was
Told to Remain.
NEW YORK, August ia dispatch
to the Herald from Havana, via Key
West, says: Captain-G General Weyler's
summer campaign came TO an inglori-
Gus end last Wednesday when he re-
turned to this city with rebels firing on
his rear guard all the way to Havana.
The Captain-General made public
entry into the capital. but his recep-
ton was chilly. General Weyler cabled
his resignation to Madrid on Thursday.
Last night l saw a copy of the reply
he received He was told to remain in
Cuba so long as the present Ministry
holds power. The suspense here is in
tense, but no excitement appears on
the surface.

The rumor about town that the Gov
eminent of the United States is con-
centrating it's naval forces in the Pa
cific, was undoubtedly brought to these
Islands by the bogus carrier pigeons,
connected with Herr Andree's expedi-
ton over the North Pole. The Navy
Department urged Congress to appro-
pirate money for the armor of the
three great battle-ships now on the
stocks. The contractors offered to fur
nish the plates at $500 per ton; Con-
gress allowed only $500. The negoti-
alton is ended, and the battle-ships
must wait another year. Those Yam
KEGS are very slow to see the danger
rising like a blackened cloud in the
Pacific. Right here, in Honolulu, is
the spot for them to get good obser-
vations on great events. Washington
and Tokyo are simply side stations.

HIGHER EDUCATION.

Anticipating the desire of the
public school teachers to become
more proficient in their special
branches, the Inspector General
has proposed an excellent scheme
for advanced work for teachers,
which has received the endorse
ment of the Board of Education.
In general, the scheme partakes OF
the nature of college post-grad-
nate, or university extension work.
1t is to be conducted by correspon-
dence with the Inspector-General.
There is to be no classroom work.
1t embraces critical courses IN edu-
cational theories and in courses of
study and systems. Text books by
recognized authorities on the vari-
Gus subjects will be used, and from
time to time abstracts will be sent
to the Inspector-General, showing
the results of the study. At the
end of the year theses will be pre-
pared.
The scheme has much to recon-
mend it. 1t furnishes an oppor-
tunity to the teachers for pursuing
a course in higher education with
out interrupting their regular
school duties. The knowledge
which they will acquire, in ad-
vanced methods of instructing, can
be applied at once in the class
room, and both teachers and pupils
receive benefit from it. The more
teachers there are who enter this
-ourse, the more efficient will be-
come the public school system, and
without additional expense to the
department, for the present at
least.
The question of expense does not
enter very largely into the consid
Grafton of the scheme, however.
Already the regular appropriation
for schools is over 100000, or
about one-ffth of the total appro-
priations. More would be cheerful
ly spent were it necessary. At the

The decision of the Supreme
Court, censuring two members OF
the Bar, for unprofessional con
duct, after a careful hearing, is an
indication that, so far as it is posi-
BILE, the Court will maintain the
right character of the Bar. As the
Judiciary was, until the monarchy
fell, the bulwark of our grated
institutions, and is now, the best
evidence of our distribution of jus
tice to all alike, it is of the utmost
that it should hold the
Bar up to the best standards.
Transactions of attorneys, which
pass without notice, in many of the
are here closely examined.
In the near future there may be
need of even greater vigilance than
in the past. We believe that it is
the sentiment in Washington that
the Judiciary should not be dis
turbed in the event of annexation.
1t is also the sentiment of the peo-
pie here.

OF vigilance
But the community is also fond Of
athletic sports, and is willing TO permit
a reduction of the force during the
practicing period, provided the public
safety is secured. Doubtless the Po-
lice Department would not allow the
reduction if it were not aware Of the
peaceful conditions here. 1t is hoped
that meanwhile the men on duty will
take extra precautions to protect prop
erty and prevent any trouble which
might arise

NON-REGISTERED AMERICANS.

We hear that many Americans
Of character, intelligence, and with
money, who have settled here dur
ing the last three years, complain
that they cannot register and vote.
These persons ought to know, but
do not seem to know, that their eX-
clusion, provided for in the Con
stitutiOn, Is the work Of their own
American fellow citizens, who were
confronted with a very serious
in adopting that instru
ment. 1t was not done in order to
exclude Anglo-Saxons, but in order
to protect them. Newcomers, natur-
ally enough, do not understand the
complicated political situation here,
and complain, after taking a super
fetal view of the case. They come
to a country which is rather mixed
up. The time has not yet arrived
for the Offering of prizes for the
answers to political puzzles. If the
newcomers can't answer them, they
must patiently wait until one an
swer comes in the regular way

DiscOntinuance Was Entered Last
Evening in the United States
Circuit Court Here.

The suit brought against the Bay State

ment of counsel.
The suit was instituted last October by

imposing array Of legal talent. The at
torneys on their behalf included James
H. Hofecker, Jr., of this city; Samuel
Dickson, of Philadelphia Benjamin L.
N. Tower, J. H. Benton ard Charles
Bartlett, Of Boston.

final agreement of the counsel was reach
ed last night and discontinuance of the
suit was entered in the United States
Circuit Court, in this city, last evening,
by the allowance Of Judge Dallas.

THORN STILL At LARGE.
All Efforts to Capture the Fiend
Have Been Futile.
A MAN OF MANY NAMES.
One Man Is Identified by Ralph Farra,
But Proves to Be the Wrong
Man.

Murderer Thorn has SO far escaped the
vigilance Of the police.
Reports are constantly being received
from all parts of the surrounding coun-
try. Several arrests have been made
from time to time but in every case the
suspect has been the wrong man. Will
lard, the son, and the daughter Mabel,
have in each case been unable to identify
the man as the slayer Of their father.
The report that Thorn has been seen
in the neighborhood Of Smyrna, is SO far
merely report, as no trace of him has
yet been found. Yesterday afternoon q
man was arrested by Officers Shields and
Maloney. The suspected man boarded
an electric car, at Shellpot and at once
began to make inquiries as to how he
could reach Washington, and where was
the west yard situated. The conductor
at once after thorough observation OF
the man concluded that he was Thorn,
the murderer. When the car reached
Front street the conductor placed the
suspected man under the officers
care. Ralph Farra, a son OF George
D. Fara, who is an employe Of
]. T. Knots, the liveryman was at
Front and Market at the time the arrest
was ma le, and he, although he only saw
Thorn once, felt positive they had cap
tured the right man. The officers at
once directed their prisoner to the City
Hall and Willard another son of George
D. Farra was summoned. He stated
that the man had great resemblance to
his fathers murderer but he was not
Thorn. The colored man answered the
description Of Thorn excepting that his
mustache was a little thicker in the
centre than Thorn's and that he was
little short of his height. He was re-
leased at once after Willard said he was
the wrong man. A singular incident
and one that should not be forgotten by
the people is that Thorn has already as
sumed three names. He was em-
ployed by Mr.. Kilvington milkman
and while under his employ was known
as Sanders I!e also was employed on a
farm between Wilmington and, New
Castle and his name then was Ander-
son-Now the fact that this man Thorn
so frequently changed his name should
not be misleading but an aid to the au-
thorities in awakening all who had ever
come in contact with him.
Governor Tunnel has issued an offer
of 5000 for information leading to the ap-
prehension of Thorn.
