parts Of the Pacific. There was no in
ternational money order system, and
no international parcels post
The addition of these TO the postal
system has been of great convenience
to the general public. All kinds of
articles now go through the mails,
from iewelry to hats and undercloth-
ing It is no longer a question of
sending only samples. The Postal
authorities handle an immense guam
tity of goods. Locally, in some coun-
such as game and poultry. The things
barred are liquids, explosives and liv-
ing creatures, especially snakes;
though enthusiastic naturalists have
tried to get even these through the
mails.
Among the improvements suggested
gress is the advisability of increasing
the weight of parcels. This will en-
able people to obtain books, etc, in
greater quantities in single parcel.
The object of the Postal Union is
to advantage the worlds public. Lo-
cally, postal authorities may worry
their own particular subjects; but
with the worlds correspondence.
there can be no nonsense, for mis-
manapempnt coi11d throw tbpm ont of
the Union. Tt certainly is one of the
greatest bOons that civilization and
organization has conferred on us. And
one of its best features is that it is
ever improving. and is getting the in
tellect of a whole world focused upon
methods for Improvement. The re-
suits of the Congress of the Universal
Postal Union now in session at Wash
ington, will be eminently satisfactory
to the general world.

The Civil Service Commission of the
United States has published its thir-
teenth annual report. The unclass-
fled places amount to 1881. Under
the War Department there are 70
such places, and of these rs are super
mtendents of National cemeteries.
The Interior has 95, and the Library
of Congress 80. The bulk of these
places, however, is in the Post Office
service. There are under this 1885
in classified offices, of which 66.725 are
fourth class postmasterships. 1t looks
as if the classified service absorbed
the cream and has left the unclassi-
fled large bowl of very thin skim
med milk. 1t will be good thing for
the Government service when all
places are classified.

MAKE IT EASY.

One would think that the land own
ers at the far end of the island would
see thir advantage in having the rail
road pass through their lands and
would throw no impeachment in the
way of the line. 1t is very clear that
lands which are at present almost val
ueless, or of merely nominal value,
would at once become of great value
the moment the vivifying rail touch
ed them.
Manager Dillingham;, however, finds
that though the landowners are quite
aware of the advantages that they
will obtain from the railroad. they
have come to the conclusion that they
have already realized the benefits of
the rail, and, holding their lands
accordingly, want town lot prices for
the railway track. 1t is understood
that the Railroad Company is perfect
~ willing to pay upon the basis that
the lands are assessed at, but that is
not the basis upon which the land
owners wish to sell.
This is really a very foolish policy.
The railroad is willing to pay at a
reasonable rate, but it would, from
the land holders point of view, be
good policy even to give the land and
receive no pay at all.
The writer calls to mind the in
stance of the city of Durham, in the
North of England. The magnates of
that city were very powerful and very
conservative. When it was decided to
build railroad they We're strong
enough to prevent it coming to their
city. The line passed fourteen miles
away. and Durham was left to vege-
tate off the main stream of vigorous
life. Finally the city awolte to its
position and managed to get branch
line 1t took some twenty or thirty
years before the main line was chang
ed so that it passed through the city.
Now, though the Oahu Railroad
Company cannot build line fourteen
miles off from the grasping land hold
ers, it need not build any road at all,
and then where will the land holders
be? What is very vulgarly called, Gin
the SOUP" Their dreams of increas-
ed values will have vanished into thin
air and the lands, instead of being
sold and leased to steady workers who
will develop them, will remain the
feeding ground of few lean cattle
that will make them precarious re-
turn, instead of fulfilling their golden
dreams. This is not true of all the
land holders; but it is of some.
e. The Star understands that this is
the reason that has delayed the rail
road authorities from making start
on the first of this month. 1t is to he
hoped that, in the interest of the de-
yelopment of this island, fair basis
of sale may be reached, and the work
pushed forward. Once the iron horse
makes start through those sparsely
inhabited tracts. and they will awake
into busy life. 1t will be of advantage
to Honolulu dealers. too The more
back country there is settled, the
more goods there will be to sell.

STATISTICS OF c. Z. CONVENTION

A Total of c3.0IS Attended-Of These
1905 Were from California.
At length it is possible to state with
a close approach to exactitude how
many delegates attended the Christian
Endeavor convention. The registration
committee has made a report by states
and counties of the number of people
registered. The total number of peo-
pie from other states, territories and
foreign countries in attendance is H.
224. From California the registration
is 1884, making a total of 23,91s.
From these figures it will be seen that
the actual attendance upon the conven-
ton is surprisingly close to the advance
estimates that were made.
Outside of California the biggest dele
cation was from Illinois, that state
sending 1,0s3, Iowa being next, Penn
sylvania third, followed by Ohio, New
York, Missouri and Massachusetts in
the order named.
1t is interesting to note that the wom-
en- from all places outside of the state
were almost twice as numerous as the
men, the figures being: Women, 7,477;
men, 3,747.

How the Naval Maneuvers of Queens

How the Naval Maneuvers of Queens
Jubilee Come to an End.
The whole programme of navel
maneuvers on the occasion of the
queens jubilee came to ludicrous fias-
CO owing to misunderstanding of the
orders of the admiralty. The fleet was
divided into two parts, one command
ed by Admiral Fellows. He had in
struction to steam out of Blackhead
bay, to await declaration of war and
then to endeavor to return into the
bay without being intercepted by the
other division.
When still 60 miles from the rendez-
vous cruiser overlook Admiral Fell
lows and told him that war had been
declared; whereupon he turned about
and, meeting no enemy, entered the
bay and telegr&phed to the admiralty:
''The warts over" After several hours
silence the admiralty sent him curt
order to 60 TO a rendezvous 200 miles
west. This he did and turned about
again. As he approached Blackhead
bay Sunday morning the eneIay APP
peared and cleared FOR Cctioa.
The flagship Majestic opened fire, but
Admiral Fellows did rot respond. On
the contrary he sigaalel that he had
already captured Ireland, that church
service was being held in the various
ships of his division and that he must
decline to fight The admiralty was
furious, and it viii be long time be-
fore the last is heard of this tiasco in
naval circles.
