vices had II that the German
troops were landed and took pos
session Of the fortified port with
tho ohjec, of obtaining satisfac-
ton for the murder ~ two Ger
man missionaries. II il now
stated that the Chinese Govern
ment had alreaiy taken active
steps for the puni-hment of the
murderers OF the missionaries be-
fore the landing of the German
troops at Kiao Chau. Further
the remarkable circumstance is
mentioned that the Chinese For
eieu Oflice-the "Tsung Ii
Yamen"-was given no notifica.
tion that the seizure of Kiao
Chau was contemplated. "Such
a process" correspondent puts
it, sis said to be fragrant viola
ton of comfy, and is discussed
in dipl )matic circles as evidence
that Germany used her grievance
as pretext for the occupation of
the isl aud" 1.-THE reason given for it
all is that Germany is determined
to obtain com mercial advantage in
the Orient, which she has thus far
conspicuously lacked in contrast
with both Gr"et Britain and Rus
sia. Her action in making the
break now in question may bring
Germany into collision with Rus
sia. BY q recent treaty between
the governments of Russia and
China, it is agreed that Russia, in
return for pledged support in Ger
tain war contingencies, is to have
the use of Port Arthur and Kiao
Chsu harbor should the Gar be.
come involved in war. "This in.
terest," the same correspondent
writes, RUSSIA will not be slow
to protect, il Germany should
manifest any ulterior designs.
Thus are the ambitions and
jealousies Of the European powers
being transferred to new fields on
the other side Of the globe from
the thrones of their dominion.
1t emphasizes the view that the
Pacific is bound soon to become
the theater Of some of the greatest
events in the worlds history. Ha
waii in its central Pacific position
has an iDerasible interest in this
lowering future. 1t is we'll, then,
that It's status should be bound up
with the destiny of nation that
is able to hold fast all it posses
ses amidst any tempests that may
arise over the question of supre
macy 10 the Pacific.

Mark q. johnson, who fell IN the

was SO badly injured, is still in a
most unfortunate condition, though
he is resting as easy AS could be
expected. The lower jaw, which
was broksa 10 two places, WAS

however, the young man had q

and the parts separated again
Another reduction of the fracture
was necessary today.
Johnson fell from the upper

SATURDAY, DEC. 4, 1897,

Ment'cn IS published of high
IL influential association Just
formed in London, to bring to-
gether and form into national
collection Photographic records of
objects aud scenes of interest
throughout the British Isis. 1t
is intended to deposit these photo
graphs in the British Museum,
where they may be accessible to
public inspection. What q pity
there was no organization of this
kind in Honolulu, all the years of
constant change since the dawn of
civilization ! There is the greatest
interest attaching to such picto-
rial records as the collection of
views 10 the town half a century
ago given to the Hswsiian Histo-
ricsl Society by the late War
rem Goodale. Doubtless there
are photographs extant in private
hands-here, there and every.
where of noteworthy buildings
or stretches of street architecture
which have gone down before the
march of improvement, perhaps
hastened by a visitation of fire.
But whers Is there public col
lection ofsuch views worthy of the
namep Or does any single
owner, for another instance, hold
q collection of views of all the
fire engine houses that stood
when the volunteer department
was changed to a paid one only
less than five years back2
There is still time to secure such q
collection. Perhaps there are views
of Fort street from McInerny's to
Hobron's corner and of the oppo-
site block, as they stood before the
quite recent imI rovements. Also
views of many other scenes OF an
older Honolulu, but they are not
in a place-ss the English society
prospectus would say = "wbere
they may be accessible to public
inspection" There is fine field,
in this matter, for developing by,
say, a standing committee of thr
Hawaiian Historical Society. A
circle of the Kilohans Art League
might also be formed to secure
for permanent exhibition por-
trayals, either by the camera or
the skilled hand of the painter, of
the present constantly changing
aspects of rural landscap and
urban and suburban architecture.

There is no better oil stove
in the market than the Justly
celebrated BLUE FLAME for
which we are agents. We have
recently imported a fresh lot of
these convenient stoves and
they contain two new improve
ments which add to their de-
STABILITY. One of these is a
regulating screw for the burn
ers and the otheris a spring by
which the burners are brought
to the top of the stove when II
is desired to light them. These
stoves are absolutely the best
coal-oil stove in the market
and they are sold at areasonable
price.
In coal and wood stoves we
recommend the PANSY as be-
ing the best. We have it in all
sizes at prices to suit all purses.
STEEL Ranges for large fa-'

How Grant Got the Name of Ulysses

The story was curious. AS related by
the father afterward, it appeared that
the common difficulty CT choosing a
name for the babe arose. Multitudes oil
suggestions only confused the young par
ents the more, until at last it was pro-
posed to cast the names into hat. This
was done. A romantic aunt suggested
Theodore. The mother favored Albert,
in honor Of Albert Gallatin. Grandfather
Simpson voted for Hiram, because he
considered it handsome name. The
drawing resulted in two names, Hiram
and Ulysses.
ulysses" it is said, was cast into the
hat by Grandfather Simpson, who had
been reading translation of Fenelon S
"Telemachus," and had been much i'm
pressed by the description of Ulysses
given by Mentor to Telemachus. "He
was gentle of speech, bene6cent of mind"
"The most patient of men," He is the
friend OF truth. He says nothing
that is false, but when it is necessary he
comedies what is true. His wisdom is a
seal upon his lips, which is never broker
save for an important purpose. y Nc
