Reservoir avenue while The snow lasted,
got into an argument last evening as 10
which had beaten the otter day. Finally,
one of the party. who was a little cbafed
at what he considered an undue reflection
on the speed OF his "nag" said to The man

was the reply, "I would put 1t against

know it or not, can cover 10 miles an
hour and keep II up. Your horse wouldn't
stand that pace for tw, hours, and IL he
did he would be In tie stable for weeks.v
Then the question Of the speed of the
camel came up, and one of the party who
knew something shout camels and their
speed qualities made certain observations
which wers takon into serious considers-
zion and no bit was made nor wager
offered on either eide. Nhst the man w no
knew about the camel said was; "Tbe
most accurate Information shows the
cad Of the camel to be about three miles
an hour. The swiftes, dromedaries do
not exceed 10 miles an hour, but the pace
can be kept up for 20 hours without rest.

EDUCATIONAL MaTTERS
DISCUSSION ON Va SIC TEACHING
IN THE u,Ga SCHOOL.
Inspector. General Townsend Differs
orProressor yarndIey's Services.

There was a full attendance of
officials at the meeting of the
Commissioners of Education,
presided over by Minister Cooper,
yesterday afternoon.
After reading the minutes and
having a little preliminary secret
confabulation, the appointment of
Miss Hannah Jarrett to succeed
Mrs. Otterson in teaching at the
Kalihi. waena school at the mum
ficent salary of $40 per month
was announced through report
of the Teachers Com mittee and
confirmed by the Board.
Inspector-Genersl Townsend's
recommendations that no action
be taken in adopting Bancroft's
object lesson charts and that the
certificates for the Normal school
graduates be printed in Honolu-
Ia were both agreed to.
The resignation of Mr.. Meyer
as school agent at Molokai was
announced.
Hama teachers were authorized
to hold a meeting at Kaupo on
Tuesday, March 2, instead of
on Saturday.
1t was voted to offer the posi-
ton of assistant at Hookena school
to Miss Myra Kakela.
Minister Cooper's proposition
to employ Professor Yarndley as
musical instructor of the High
school brought forth an immediate
objection from Inspector General
Townsend, who insisted that the
Professor was a pronounced
enemy of the tonic sofia system
at present in vogue in the school
and doubted whether he would be
success, as he would in all pro.
liability prefer his own methods
of teaching to those heretofore
used. Mr.. Townsend's objections
did not seem to carry much weight
with the Commissioners, who on
motion agreed to the employment
of the music teacher, the particu-
lar methods to be employed to be
decided by Minister Cooper and
the Inspector General, which may
be taken to mean that the head of
the department will have his own
way in the matter.

predicatrd 10y the Liberal opposi.
ton remains to be seen. To out.
side view it is not un-
reasonable to suppose that
the long period OF the British
stay in Egypt, against angry
demands, from within and with.
out the United Kingdom, that in
tention of permanent tenure
should be distinctly disavowed,
has blunted the effect that would
at an earlier stage have resulted
from the distinct avowal now
made that the tenure is permanent.
So that it is likely enough that
neither home nor foreign opposi.
ton to the practical annexation of
Egypt to the British Empire will
at this juncture, or any time in
the future, set aside the registered
contamination.

The khaIifa's Bodyguard.

The Mahdi's successor recruits
his immense bodyguard with
blacks whom he captures in his
bloody raids against the negro
tribes. Yet out of every thou
sand persons in the tribes so at
tackled only $50 ever reach the
slave mart, where the Khalifa
selects those that he wants. The
other $50 either die in battle or
fall victims to their terrible suffer
ings on the march, after capture.
The men not chosen by the
Khalifa and the women and
children are sold as slaves.
This fact is one of those that have
led to strong moral support being
given in England to the proposed
British conquest of the Khalifa.

TREMENDOUS wATERsPOuT.
Seen from the Brig Courtney Ford in
the south Seas.

the south Seas.
Captain Mcleod, of the brig
Courtney Ford at Port Townsend
from Tahiti, reports that revolv-
ing waterspout passed within a
mile of his vessel. 1t was in
south latitude 1915, and west
longitude 14S:0S, at 6 o'clock in
the afternoon, when the ships
company was suddenly attracted
to the almost instant formation of
mammoth waterspout. Wind
ing and twisting like a bending
spiral, it swallowed up thousands
upon thousands of tons of water,
and reached an altitude of fully one
mile in height, where it seemed to
deposit the great volume of sea
water into a cirrocumulus cloud.
Around the base of the spout the
sea was dashed into a cauldron of
white foam for several hundred
yards. The wind was blowing
gently from east south. east, and
the phenomenon formed about
mile distant on the lee bow of the
brig.
The spout remained stationary
for five minutes and then moved
slowly toward the westward. 1t
was fully 100 feet in thickness and
penetrated the sky almost mile
overhead, presenting an almost
indescribable someone that was
intensely thrilling and exciting
and not altogether free from dan.
ger. Slowly and majestically
it bent over and moved
west, gradually decreasing
in volume until a quarter of an
hour later it disappeared from
view. In the meantime the cloud
which acted as the receptacle ex-
banded in size until the whole
sky was obscured, and indicated
that a shower of rain was falling
to the leeward of the vessel. BY
eight o'clock the wind veered to
southwest by south, and the clouds
cleared away.

EGYPT.

There is no longer any reason
to doubt that the British are in
Egypt to stay. The speech of
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, of which
a report has appeared in our latest
foreign news, makes the fact clear
to the world. As pointed out in
the BULLETIN some months ago
French diplomacy, backed by
Russia, unwittingly gave Great
Britain the pretext for de-
claring her occupation of Egypt
as of indefinite duration. She
had conducted a successful cam
paign to put down an instruction
in the Soudan, and her claim to
indemnity, out of the joint fund
for administration of the
Egyptian finances, was resisted
by France with Russia's
assent and finally dis
allowed by an Egyptian court,
whose jurisdiction in such matters
British diplomacy, Gin a moment
of weakness" as it has been ex-
pressed, had in arranging the
Egyptian question left supreme.
There was nothing then left to
Great Britain but to pay the bill
of the Dongola campaign, which
gave her an equitable right to as
same the sovereignty that the
campaign had procured. British
occupation of Egypt has proved a
good thing for the country, and
has been protection of foreign
interests besides those of Great
Britain therein. Whether or not
the declaration Of the virtual per-
manence of such occupation just
made shall have the dire results
