GOING HOME FROM THE CHILIAN
CAPITAL.
Chill as Model Republican Govern
ment-Some Good Ideas on the An
nexation Question.

James NJ. Dobbs, United States Con-
sui at Valparaiso during the past five
years, arrived here this morning on
the barkentine Encore, 3S days from
the Chilian coast, accompanied by
his wife and child. They will remain
here for several weeks, and then pro-
ceed to Washington, whittier Consul
Dobbs has been summoned. Mr..
Dobbs has come here merely on Wis
it, as he has never had an opportuni-
ty of visiting the Islands. He wanted
the sea voyage, too, and he does not
regret having taken it. as Captain
Panno, master of the vessel, has prov
ed very pleasant travelling compan-
ion, and has done all in his power to
make his passengers comfortable. Be-
sides fine weather was experienced all
the way, and the voyage was a much
quicker one than was anticipated.
Consul Dobbs is very pleasant spo-
ken and interesting American. He has
had considerable experience in the
consular service, and has devoted his
time especially to the Latin-Amerlcan
races, whose language he has readily
at his command. He likes Valparaiso,
even though the American colony at
that place is small. and regretted leav-
ing its hospitable shores.
Chill is today the model republic of
South America" he said to Star re-
porter this morning. "The govern
ment is copied closely after the Unit
ed States form of government. with
many distinct improvements; is stable
and very satisfactory to all concerned
Within the past few years the Chilli
ans have adopted the gold standard
and today no country in south Ame-
rica is so strong financially and COM
mercially. 1t is a responsible govern
ment and satisfactory to all. The
people are all equally represented in
the government, and so smoothly ;lo
things run that there is now no dis.
satisfaction.
"As place of residence / like Val
paraiso very much. The climate Is
| very similar to that of Southern Cali
fornia. and the people are very hospi
table. There are only about 100 peo.
pie in oar colony there, but some.
thing like 1000 English and an aver.
age number of Germans. ] had visit.
ed Valparaiso as a youth. so that when
I returned there as Consul had many
friends
In speaking of annexation Mr.
Dobbs said that he had followed the
matter very closely in the American
press, and was convinced that the Is.
lands will surely be annexed during
the present session of Congress. Tue
anneXationists. he said. had been YER.
judicious in the distribution of liter.
ature throughout the United States
much of which was placed directly in
the homes. The best people, in his es
timation. were advocating the cause
which is also receiving support from
the clergy of the country, all of which
| are potent factors.

MONKEYPODCAUSESGR|EF
WRECK ON VINEYARD STREET
OBSTRUCTION.
Fate of Lady Bicyclist-Another
Hidden Danger Discovered-J,ife and
Limb Threatened.

The hidden dangers of Vineyard
street-for they seem to multiply rap
| idly-have borne fruit. With appar-
emily more faith i'm the good offices of
the superintendent of streets than in
the warnings of The Star, lady bicy-
list came to grief against the trunk
of the big monkey pod tree last Sat-
urday night. She was skimming
| along the new street with never
thought of danger, when suddenly the
big trunk of the monkey pod arose di-
rectly in front of her path. There was
no avoiding it. The fore wheel of
| the bicycle crashed into the obstruc-
! tion. and bounded backward but the
fair rider continued on her journey.
getting a most awkward fall. Fortu-
nately she escaped with but few cuts
and bruises, but the language in
which she expressed her disapproval
of such street ornaments was not at
all complimentary to the powers that
be.
This is not a fairy tale, but an act
ual occurrence. John Cooke and his
wife witnessed the accident. There
were two ladies riding along on bicy-
cles, headed toward Nuuanu street
There is a powerful electric light nc
the intersection of Vineyard and
Nuuanu streets. II blinds one going
in the direction of Nuuanu street on
Vineyard. and then as he enters the
heavy shade of the big monkey pod,
deep enough to conceal the trunk OF
the tree, he is upon the obstruction
before he knows it, There have been
many narrow escapes there. and vet
the big tree stands in the heavy shade
in md-street, unmarked by light Of
any kind.
And the heavy shade of the monkey
pod conceals another. and perhaps u
more serious. danger. just above the
big tree, toward Fort street. the little
stream has been bridged over with a
solid arch of masonry, over which the
street is built. On the makai side of
the sircet is stone wall about eigh-
teen inches in height. built along the
onter edge. guarding the gnlch. But
there is no such guard on the mauka
side of the street. For a distance of
about twenty-five feet the sidewalk is
flush with the top of the stone wall.
\ msstep there would mean a fall OF
fully fifteen feet into the rocky bed
of the stream. There is no light on
Vineyard street in that vicinity. and
the giant monkey pod throws its very
thick shade so across the yawning gap
that it takes sharp eyes to discover
the gulf.
While such dangers threaten the
unwary who travel by night. il
would be commonplace to speak of
the many trees that have been left
standing in the middle of the side
walk, threatening the near sighted
and destroying the pavement. Yet
they are there, and more than one
nose has been stubbed against them.
The superintendent of streets is not
popular in that vicinity.
