RAILWAYS Of Hawaii.

Bradstreet's for September has a
brief statistical article on the railways
of the Islands. 1t says there are three
lines, mentioning the Kahului, Ko-
hala and Oahu routes. The error in
the article Is in giving Waianae a. he
terminus of the Oahu line. There Is
some slight excuse for this in the fac,
that the Oahu railway has made such
rapid progress in construction thai
people at a distance have been unable
to keep the tally correctly. Brad
streets says that the business OF the
oahu railway shows steady increase
both in passenger and freight traffic
and gives the number of passenger
carried In 1897 as $3.50.

points. The hrst was that the party
had not been consulted by the Execu'
tive al any time in any way concern
ing the future as IL might be affected
by communication with the Commits
sion and Tor this reason presented the
memorial.
The second heavy paragraph In the
outline presented to the delegates was
the expression OF opinion that Ameri-
can shipping laws should be extended
to the new territory at once.
There Is asked for In the memorial
"a liberal form Of territorial govern
ment," with such restrictions, limita-
tions, ETC., as the conditions appear to
require.
On the question Of the franchise the
committee gives utterance in favor OF
liberal suffrage.
The committee favors the national
policies concerning construction OF the
Nicaraguan canal and cable from
the Mainland to Hawaii. II Is urged
that American tariff laws be extended
to Hawaii without delay.

All Knights Should See this Notice.
A WARNING FROM HONOLULU.
Honolulu, II. l., Aug. 25th, 1898.
To all Pythian Brethren, Greeting:
The annexation of these Islands by
the United States has caused many of
our brethren to project attempts to
better their condition or to find en-
ployment In what they consider a new
country.
Such We consider 1t our duty to warn
and to speak to in plain terms.
The social and business communi-
ties OF these Islands were old and well
established before the rush to Califor-
MIA.
This is In no sense new country.
The only opportunity here is for the
man OF large capital.
There Is no employment here for me-
chanics Of any kind or for unskilled
labor. Many men OF ability, OF good
habits and first class recommendation
are now here practically stranded.
There were idle men in Honolulu be-
fore the American flag replaced the
Hawaiian flag.
All lines of small business are fully
filed and in most cases over-crowded.
Do not come here unless you have
the assurance in advance of steady
employment or have the capital to en-
gage in land development enterprises
requiring large means.
We spread this positive advice be-
cause We wish to save brethren disap-
pointment and distress. We state the
facts, as in more than honor bound
and trust sincerely that this circular
will accomplish its mission.
The signatures are those of joint
committee OF Oahu and Mystic lodges
including +. Waldron. J. Neill and G.

PALESTINE EXPLORATION.

Society has just located the exact spot
on which Christ was crucfed and buried,
says foreign correspondent of a New

The final researches on the subject have
lately been completed by DIR. Conrad
Schick, the representative of the society,
and his report has been made.
There have been great many theories
about the place of tho crucfixion and the
tomb, 1T has been claimed that the Mos
que OF Omar and not the Church of the
Holy Scpulchre was erected over the spot
where the cross stood. Dr. Schlck, In his
paper says:
one Of the chief points to ascertain
about Church OF the Holy Sepulchre IL
whether IL actually stands on the rock
of Calvary. Some have claimed the ap-
parent rock foundation was an imitation
