THE STAR PORTFOLIO SERIES is
COMPLETE.
Pictures of Cuba and Wrecked Maine
nifty to Secure Portfolio Series.

The remaining four parts of The
Star Portfolio Series arrived last Sat
urday, and can be had at The Star
office. They are devoted to Cuba, the
wrecked Maine and the Hawaiian Is
lands. They are all interesting and
can be had for a dime each, or ten for

When The Star readers have turn
ed over the last leaf they will know
among other things that at Havana
the MORO Castles cannon balls would
be powerless against the United States
battleships: that Uncle Sans cruis-
ers are built on different lines from
those of the coal ships in the Chica-
go river: that Havana is famous for
something besides fine cigars: that
Cuba and Hawaii are respectively
about as large as Ohio and New Jer-
sey, and by the variety of their pro-
ductions and the charms of their eli
mate and scenery fully deserve their
titles, "The Queen of the Antilles"
and THE Paradise of the Pacific" RI
you learn by pictures how places look,
you will be able to read with more ap-
probation the current news of what
happens there
When newspaper publishes an ac-
count of a person. place or thing. it
has to take it for granted that the
reader has considerable knowledge of
the subject. This is not always the
case. even in matters Of the greatest
public interest for few have the time
or chance TO acquire specific knowl-
edge of far off places or technical
matters. however much they would
like to do so.
Hence the wisdom of The Stars new
enterprise of supplementing its news
columns with an issue of ten superb
portfolios, each containing sixteen
well executed pictures, 10RX14 inch
es. on fine enameled paper. These are
! intended to show things as they look.
and with the 100 pictures goes explain
atory text telling what they are. They
will convey as much information in n
minute as can be acquired in an hours
desultory reading.
These portfolios illustrate and de-
scribe the salient features of the
American navy and Cuba. subjects
which interest all just now

EXCITING TIME IN THE HOUSE
THIS MORNING.
Representative Robertson's Speech on
the Income Tax Bill Creates a Sem
sation-Hasty Adjournment.

There was wild scene in the low
er House this morning. The charge
was made that the power of money
had Influenced votes. There was an
immediate demand that this alleged
slur be retracted. Great excitement
prevailed.
Nearly all the members claimed tic
floor at the same time. a hasty adj
journment was taken to prevent fur
ther disorder.
The casus belli was House Bill No.
8, known as the Income Tax Bill,
which came on for second reading,
and during the discussion which fol-
lowed, arelative to the merits of the
bill, it looked for time as though
another revolution had broken out.
The excitement was caused by few
remarks by Representative Robertson,
in which he stated that he was sorry
to see that the power of money had
been able to influence any of the
members of the House against the bill
inasmuch as the wealthy people were
the ones that were opposed to the
bill. Representative Loebenstein and
Richards both jumped to their feet
at the same instant and demanded
that the speaker retract the slur lie
had cast upon the members of the
House, and in the general eNciteme IT
and discussion which followed, It
looked for time as though serious
trouble would ensue. Something Ike
an hour was consumed in dissent ~
ling the parliamentary rules which
had been involved, and in voting ',D-
on an appeal from the decision of the
Speaker as to who was entitled to
the floor, and to avoid bloodshed, a
motion was quickly made to adjourn
until 80 o'clock this afternoon, for
the further discussion of the Income
Tax Bill, which was carried and thus
ended one of the most exciting peri-
eds during the present session of the
House.
For the first time in many days
there was full attendance in the
House this morning.
y petition was presented by the
Citizens Guard. praying that Inas-
much as the site allotted to them by
| the Executive for the erection of the
| Carter Memorial Fountain had been
denied them by the House, that a
committee be appointed by both the
House and the Senate to meet a com.
mittee of the Citizens Guard to decide
upon suitable site for such a memo.

Isenberg, Pogue and Gear to serve )n

Representative Robertson. for the
Judiciary Committee, recommended
passage of Senate Bill No. 30, relating
to appeals and bills of exception.
Representative Pogue, for the ri.
nance Committee, submitted favor
able report on House Bill No. 65, re
lating to internal taxes, and recon-
mended its passage, inasmuch as il
was intended to relieve all male in
habitants over the age of so years
from the payment of the road tax
and over so per cent of those who
would be exempted by this bill were
Hawaiians and Asiatics, who are al.
ready paying more than their share
of the taxes of the country

NOT FOR BATTLE BUT Peaceful
MANEUVERS.
Great Activity Among the Yachts
Getting Ready for the Summer-A
Cruise Around Oahu.

There is tremendous hustling up
among yachts and yachtsmen just at
present. At no time in the history of
yachting in Honolulu have so many
improvements been in contemplation
and under way. The fact portends a
lively season ahead, and as much is
planned. 1t is anticipated that the
coming summer will bring with it
more yacht races and sailing expedi-
tions than have ever been seen mere
before. Following is a synopsis of
what is being done to get the fleet in
good shape.
The Helene, owned by w. q. Irwin
and Fred Whitney, is being given ii
general overhauling and is being re-
htted. She will appear this season
with new mastS and sails and new
coat of paint. The Helene is the flag
snip of the fleet.
Luther Wilcox is engaged in fitting
up the Presidents yacht, the Bonnie
dundee. She is being given a general
overhauling and will be repainted.
The judge will also overhaul his own
crack fabric, the Hawaii.
The Abbie NJ, owned by II. NJ. Dow,
is on the marine railway for a gener-
al overhauling. Besides the regular
repairs her ballast arrangements will
be altered in the interest of speed.
Half of her lead will be taken out OF
the hold and transferred to the keel
Besides making the boat lighter this
will bring her higher out of the wa
ter and make her more comfortable
sailer
Captain Chris johnson is doubling
the cabin accommodations i'm his fast
flyer, the Rescue. He does not pro-
pose racing the Bonnie this season
and consequently, has an eye more tc
comfort than speed.
The Edith H., now owned by DR.
Day and Joe Gilman has Just received
a new main sail which greatly increa.
ses her speed. 1t is wide and strong
Two weeks ago the Edith l.. simply
walked away from the Pokii in an ev
en- race. Iachtsmen predict Il brill
ant season for the little boat.
Senator Warehouses; yacht Malol;
is also expected to do some swif
work this summer. She is being pu
| into shape at Pearl harbor. The Sen
ator will use her chiefly for pleasur,
| outings around the Peninsula.
Major Curtis p. Iauliea has chang
ed the name of his yacht Hotaru, tt
Lorna. She has been given new spar:
and sails and presents "A very nea,
| appearance. The Lorna is called 'tht
| baby of the fleet" She is very small

Reputation.

The Paradise of the Pacific for Nav

waii are interesting, and come from
practical knowledge of the subject
DIR. G. p. Andrews supplies an article
upon "Our Wonderful Climate" which
will make many a sufferer in the
cold climate of the north zone envi-
Gus. A graphic description of the new
Pail road is from the pen of j. L. Ira
Wis, late of The Star. Added to these
are selections from various tourists
and writer's who have visited the Is
lands. The cuts are very artistic. The
frontispice showing koa tree and n
distant landscape of cultivated fields
is high art. There are interesting
views of the Pail and the Queens hos
pital. Appropriate couplets designate
the pictures. This magazine would do
credit to any city it was published in.

One related TO some routine matter OF cx-

the Maine and the other is as follows;
divers report more bodies in wreck
Some in hammocks involved In debris:

This dispatch indicates that the divers
have finally secured at least partial en-
trance to the quarters in the forward part
OF the vessel where the crew were asleep
when the explosion occurred and under
which was the magazines. Tho fact that
tho divers were unable to cxtricate the
bodies shows the fearful obstacles against

belief that the work OF submarine inyesti-
