ton. The want of energy and in.

ment shews on the shelves and
consequently shews in the number
of subscribers. When people pay

entertaining and new literature; il
they do not find it, they quit and
then we have the cry "we have so
few subscribers" II your baker had
but 20 stale loaves on his shelves
week after week, l guess you would
deal elsewhere, and the bakers cry
would be "no customers" Now
with $25,000 on hand the state of
things must be altered. l want to
know: Q) Who are the committees
that / may wreathe their brows
with laurels? (2) Are they a self
elected body (ike the Dole Govern
ment)Y (3 When is the next elec.
tion of officers? Gall subscribers

that there are hundreds of paper

would perhaps be benefit to the
Leper Settlement, the Jail or the
Queens Hospital, and which would
never be missed here. | desire to

A SAD DEATH.
Edwin A. Jones Called Home After
Short Illness.

Edwin A. Jones Called Home After
Short Illness.
The message announcing the
death at Waikane yesterday after
noon of Edwin A. Jones cast gloom
over the community, in which the
young man was so we'll known and
we'll loved.
Edwin Jones caught cold on the
4th of July, but his indisposition
was not considered serious at the
time. His condition grew worse,
and on Saturday afternoon the resi-
dent physician Of the district sent
an urgent summons to DR.. Day to
come to Waikane. Early on Sun
day morning DR.. Day arrived and
found the deceased in such a critical
condition that Drs. Herbert and G.
B.. Wood were sent for, and the par
ents of the young man notified of
the seriousness of their sons illness.
The two doctors proceeded to Wal
kane with all possible speed, but
when they arrived Edwin Jones was
beyond human help, and at noon he
passed away, surrounded by his wife
and children and his parents.
Edwin A. Jones was born in Homo
lulu in 1868 and was consequently
35 years of age. He was the only
son of Mr. and Mrs. p. @. Jones, and
had spent most of his life in Homo
lulu, where he was connected with
different branches of his fathers ex-
tensive business. He was very
prominent in religious and social
circles, and his death will be felt as
grieyous blow by his coworkers in
the interest OF our Christian institu-
tions and by the scores OF his sim
cere and earnest friends.
He was married to Miss Bella
Fuller, the daughter of Captain
Fuller, and four young children
were the result Of the happy union
The deepest sympathy is felt for the
sorrowing widow and her children
and for the grief-stricken parents
whose hope and pride the deceased
was.
The amiable, frank and uprigh,
character OF Edwin A. Jones car
best be summoned up in the words
"He had malice towards none
charity towards all"

October OF the former year there
were no less than three hundred sail

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

The Chinese Government has de-
cided to change the seat of govern
ment from Pekin to the City of ST.
ngan-fu, now the capitol of the
province of Shensi. The reason for
the proposed change is that Man
churia is virtually under the thumb
of Russia, which has full control of
the Liaotung peninsula and by its
presence in Port Arthur is a perma-
nent menace to the Government in
Pekin.
The English press opposes the
change in emphatic terms. Great
Britain is perfectly willing to see
the Chinese Government move out
of Pekin, but it insists in the selec-
tion of Marking as the capital, be-
cause there British influence is
dominant while in Si-ngan-fu it is
nil. The Russian Government,
however, insists in having a final
say, and another complication will
be added to the Eastern question
which eventually will lead the world
into a disastrous war.

STOCK GAMBLING.

The artificial "boom" which has
been created in sugar stocks has
illustrated the fact that even in this
most Christian community the gam
bling spirit, Unborn in most men, con-
trolls the human passion for getting
rich quickly. If the stock gambling
was confined to professional specula-
tors and to the sugar barons, we
would let the evil pass by. If those
people met their financial Waterloo
in their mad rush for gain, they
would not be entitled to much
sympathy. But the sad fact is, that
numerous small" people, unfamiliar
with the true conditions of the cor
porations whose stocks are offered,
will spend their savings in buying in
fated stocks only to eventually see
the balloon bursted and their savings
gone.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-07-11

In case of annexation great
"boom" is expected here. We be-
lieve that there will be temporary
boom in real estate, and investments
in that commodity are always COM
paratively safe, as the speculator
has something tangible for his
money. Sugar stock will go down
if we are annexed, because in very
short order "cheap" labor will be an
unknown quantity in Hawaii A
prominent fnancier in California
wrote by the last mail that "it is
safer to-day to hold beet sugar stock
in California than to own cane sugar
stock in Hawaii" When "cheap"
labor ceases in Hawaii, which surely
it will, there will be panic and
scramble and the "small" fellows will
go under. We believe that sugar
will always be paying industry in
Hawaii, and that plantations will
declare reasonable dividends of or
6 percent. But while 6 percent is a
fair return on stocks bought at par,
it is hardly enough where shares
have been bought for three or four
hundred dollars. Let the pro-
fessional gamblers have all the fun
of specializing among themselves,
but let all who look for safe and
sound investments for their savings
and small capitals steer severely
clear of the inflated stockmarket OF

Thousands to BE Paid for the De

Thousands to BE Paid for the De-
structiOn of Cervera's Fleet.
Regardless of whether Acting Admiral
Sampson or Commodore Schley receives
the credit for the engagement which re-
suited in the destruction Of Cervera's fleet
in the matter Of promotion, it is settled
that Sampson, by virtue Of his being in
command on that occasion, will receive the
lions share of the bounty. The law on
the subject is contained in the following
provision of the Revised Statutes:
"A bounty shall be paid by the United
States for each person on board any ship
or vessel of war belonging to an enemy at
the commencement of an engagement
which is sunk or otherwise destroyed in
such engagement by any ship or vessel be-
longing to the United States, or which it
may be necessary to destroy in consequence
of injuries sustained In action, of 500 If
the enemy's vessel was Of inferior force,
and of 5000 If of equal or superior force;
to be divided among the officers and crew
in the same manner as prize money"
Estimating that there were LOO men on
the Spanish ships. the total bounty will be
something like $4,000, which will be d.
vided IN the same manner as prize money,
to wit one-twentieth to the officer in COM
mand of the fleet, one-fftieth to the officer
in command Of the active division, one
one hundredth to the fleet captain and one
one-thousandth OF each vessels share to
the captain of that vessel, the remainder
being apportioned to all the other officers
and mon in proportion to their pay. mas
much as the law provides that all vessels
within signaling distance OF the action and
in condition to render aid shall share in
the prize money, it is likely that most of
the feet will profit by the Spanish dis
aster.

The reverse.
1T is generally expected that the resig-

Attitude of Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 12.-Discussing
the events of the war between Spain and
the United States, which 1t regards as prac-

that the political situation largely depends
upon the attitude of Russia. 1t adds:
with respect to the Philippine Islands.

Russia's policy"
Continuing. the Novoe Vremya remarks:
Russia has no positive interests in the
Philippine Islands. If they are divided, the
best parts will fall to Germany, Great Brit
ain and japan, thereby Strengthening them
In the Pacific. Therefore it is to Russia, S
advantage that the Philippine Islands re-
main in the possession of a single power,
whether Spain or the United States, and
Russia would prefer to see the islands in
the possession of Spain and under the pro-
lection of the United States, who would
keep out other claimants. BY working in
this direction Russia would not only up
hold her own interests, but would serve the
cause of general peace
