BRITISH WILL ADVANCE.
Egyptian Campaign VIII be Carrie

Egyptian Campaign VIII be Carried
steadily Forward.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-Some important
statements were made today in the
House of Commons on the vote of So
994 ,010 for the expenses of the recent
o-Egyptian expedition up the
Nile, to Dongola Sir Michael Hicks
referred to the decision of the Egyptian
Mixed Court of Appeals in refusing TO
allow the funds of the Caisse of the
Egyptian debt TO be used to defray the
expenses referred to, thus compelling
Great Britain to advance the money
required. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer declared that the Court of APP
peals had thus created an almost "ab-
surd position" adding, "and next
year, great question will arise re-
garding the courts powers and author
ity and whether it should be allowed
to thus interfere in affairs. The main
cause of the prolonged British occu
patton is that France, especially, new
er allowed Great Britain free hand in
Egypt. In voluntarily retiring from
that country, France thereby threw
upon Great Britain the whole RESPONSE
bility for the safety of Egypt. and
Great Britain may fairly demand
free hand in performance of her re-
sponsibilities. The Government believe
that their policy in Egypt is right and
ORANGES and difficulties such as the re-
fusal of money. The next advance will
be to Abu Hamed and probably the adj
vance, later, will go further; but how
far, it is impolitic to say"
The vote was adopted by 100 to 81.

w. c. T. L. MEETING.
Work of that Organization For
Children Reported On.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the w. G. T. U. last Tuesday afternoon
there were present some 20 ladies. At
ter the usual exercises of Bible read
ing and prayer, reports were heard.
Among the interesting items was a re-
port of the temperance club in one of
the public schools.
1t is in three grades, the highest be-
ing in pledge to total abstinence from
into1icants, tobacco and all forms of
profane and immoral language. Their
badge is a red ribbon, and fine is i'm
posed on those who fail to wear it.
Their meetings are held after school
hours. This work is in line with the
Loyal Temperance Legion, a society of
foreign children, and the Band of
Hops, made up of native boys and girls.
Both were organized years ago by the
w. G. T. U.
It. is sought not only to save the
children by impressing their plastic
minds with the ruinous effects of in
toXicants, but to use all the power
given to women to abolish the saloon
the Misunderstanding establishment
by legislation 1t is claimed that if the
infiue nee of the w. C. T. U. in these
Islands could be weighed against every
other organized effort for temperance
the ales would turn in favor of that
organ ,zation. The w. G.. T. U. does not
wish 10 be boastful, but it seems I'M
kind 10 overlook the work of a So
ciety If good and noble women for the
simpl reason that it is not under
stood Hundreds of children come I'M
der is teaching.
Importing the Band of Hope Miss
Green mentioned the kindness of Mr..
Harris of the Royal School in visiting
their last meeting, and the interesting
and instructive talk he gave the little
folks. 1t is encouraging to the w. G..
T. Z. and all workers in temperance
to hear the educators taking so ac-
tive part in the work, for it is in the
children that is vested hope for a
higher state of temperance and moral
ity for the future Hawaii.
1t is often remarked that the w. G.
T. U. is doing so little. The Hagey
Institute is doing a great and blessed
work in curing the diseased appetites
of men, but IAN ounce if prevention is
worth a pound of cure" and the w.
C. T. us work is the preventive.
Another interesting item of business
was the ordering of letter of appre-
citation to be written to Mrs. Mckinley,
wife of the PreSident-elect of the Unit
ed States, for the brave stand she has
taken in requesting that no wines or
intoxicating drink be used at the in
augural ball
After other matters of routine bust
ness had been attended to the meeting
adjourned.

4 Former Resident.

Edward Dunscombe, now young
man in New York, will be remembered
by many here. In fact, he is a Homo
lulu boy In the early SOS his father
kept the old Sailors Home, then op-
posite the police station. Edward
worked for Robert Grieve in the Ga
zette Office as a compositor. From Ho-
nolulu the family went to Australia,
and three years ago the boys, Ed and
his brother, wound up in New York.
BY Wednesdays mail a long letter
was received by a friend here from Mr.
Dunscombe. He is working in a large
printing house in New York, and is do
ing well. Some reference to Hawaii
and Cuba is made in the letter. Among
other things, the young man said:
THE annexation of Hawaii to the
United States is quite common talk
here. Most of the papers advocate it.
What a master stroke it would be could
the leaders of your Republic but &C

kela. An application from Kapoalii for
a school was filed.
Minister Cooper stated that Profess
sor Yarndley had applied for the posi-
ton of musical instructor to the de-
partments in the High. School, three
lessons per week, at $50 a month Mr..
Townsend objected to doing away with
tonic sofia. Mr.. Cooper said it was not
tune to take up staff notation. With
respect to the applicant the Commits
sioners agreed that he was uneXcelled
at voice building Mr.. Townsend doubt
ed that he was a success at teaching
reading.
Mr.. Townsend insisted that Profess
sor Yarndley would use his influence to
tear down the tonic sofia method. He
was recognized enemy of the system.
1t was suggested that Professor could
take the work where Mrs. Tucker
leaves off. This would give him the
three upper rooms. Mr.. Cooper again
urged the Importance of a competent
instructor in voice building, and held
that Professor Yarndley should be en-
ployed.

agreed to employ Professor Yarndley

ular line of his work to Minister Coop
er and Inspector General Townsend.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

Canadian Officials Scout Idea of
Friction.
OTTAWA, Feb. 8.-Government Of
fcials ridicule the idea of friction over
the Alaska boundary matter. A COM
parison of the two surveys shows that
at Forty Mile Creek the 141st meridian
is defined by the American survey at
only a distance of six feet from Mr..
Ogilvie's line. AT another point where
there are neither mines nor population
there was a difference of 600 feet, but
in this case the United States gave
Canada credit for 200 yards more ter
ritory than Mr. Ogilyie did. Taken
