: UNDER WHICH FLAG?
SCHOONER BERING SEA HAS THE
CHOICE OF TWO. .'
She Flies the American, and Will
Hereafter, but Meanwhile She is
Wanted for the Island Trade.

Under which flag, is a question that
it bothering the owners and several
prospective purchasers of the schoon-
er Bering Sea, as well as the custom
house authorities and the cabinet.
The Bering sea is under the Ameri-
can flag. The question is, if she en-
cages in the Island trade, will she
have to hoist the expiring Hawaiian
flag? She is entirely eligible to such
registration and the government de-
partments are ready to give her the
flag. But the undetermined factor is,
whether, if she waits until the Ame-
rican flag is raised here, whether she
will need to change her registry. 1t
all grows out of the uncertainty of
the Newlands resolution on the point
as to whether the shipping laws as
well as the revenue laws of Hawaii
are to remain in force until Congress
acts. If they are to remain in force,
then the Hawaiian flag will be neces-
sary to engage in inter-island trade.
If not, then when the American flag
goes up at the Executive building,
the American flag will carry her to
every port in the Islands.
Still the Bering Sea may not en-
gage in trade after all. She is a
yacht in build and speed, and an ef-
fort is being made to form an asso-
citation to purchase her and use her
as a yacht Mr.. King, her owner, is
going to take her out in a day or two
with a party of yachtsmen and try
her yachting qualities. He believes
she can outsail anything in these wa
ters.
She is of 46 tons register, built in
Tacoma less than three years ago.
She went out once on a very success
full sealing voyage. She took a par
ty of Klondikers up to st. Michaels,
and has proved her qualities in every
way.
But the question is, "Under which

HAWAIIAN MORALITY.
Congressman Berry Makes a Very
Sharp Retort.

Congressman Berry in the course
of his speech on the floor of the House
of Representatives, as reported in the
Congressional Record, said:
ave have heard of the immoral
forms of amusement practiced in
Honolulu. Why, sir, | was one of the
visiting statesmen of whom the gen
tleman from Arizona (Mr. SmiIh)
talked. | saw the hula-hula dance IN
the city of Honolulu; and | have no
hesitation in saying that | can 90 to
Kernar's Theater in the city cf
Washington and see a much more in
decent performance than the hu!d-
hula dance in Honolulu"
A Member.-"Iow do you know?'
Mr.. Berry-"Because | have boon
there, and have seen woman plant
herself on a trapeze and undress her
self, garment by garment, while Con
gressmen sitting about were getting
very nervous with apprehension" "
Uaughter.)
The Congressman spoke from PER
sonal knowledge in both cases and
must be allowed to be fair judge. No
doubt of it that very immoral sights
are seen at Washington and other r.
ties, far more than are ever seen III
Honolulu.

HAWAIIAN CABLE MATTERS.
DAVIS AND CULLOM WANT IT
LAID AT ONCE.
General Hartwell on the Prospects of
Early Communication with the
States-Present Congress May Act.

Annexation having been accomplish
ed, the next important consideration
is the cable to the United States.
Speaking on the prospects of its ear
ly laying, General Hartwell said this
morning:
81 received nothing from the COM
pany by the last mail, sufficient time
not having elapsed to allow of an an
swer to my letters and kilograms an
nouncing the signing of a contract
with the Hawaiian government.
"NIy previous information, howev-
er, leads me to hope that the present
Congress will make an early
disposition of the cable bills. In
deed, ! may say that the cable promo
ters have been assured by Reed and
other leaders that the bills would re-
ceive prompt consideration as soon as
the annexation resolution was out of
the way. And why not? The cable is
doubly important now, both from an
annexation standpoint and in the
light of the American occupation of
the Philippines"
In Washington the leaders of both
houses are alive to the necessity of
immediate cable connection with the
Islands. Senator Davis. chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee.
said on the 10th:
THE question of cable conmunica-
ton with Hawaii is one that must be
taken up at once. | suppose the best
way to procure the construction of
a cable would be by granting "A char
ter to a private corporation rather
than by having the government CON
struct it as q government line. The
provision in one of the bills before
our committee that the government
should pay certain guarantee was
tavorably considered by the members
of the Foreign Relations Committee"
Senator Cullom of Illinois, who is
a member of the same committee and
who is chairman of the commission
of five appointed to recommend leg
islation regarding Hawaii, said:
The present situation has shown
the imperative necessity of a cable
to Hawaii which would eventually
reach to the Philippines, Japan and
all the Orient. Just how it is to be
built is a matter for Congress to de-
termine."

TRUE TO ROYAL INSTINCT
ALALAUwA PREsAGED DEATH,
NOT ANNEXATIoN.
With Mrs. Sumners Dissolution the
Run of This Fish of Occult Instinct
Immediately Diminished

The portentous run of alalauwa has
been fully explained. 1t has nothing
whatever to do with annexation, and
the native Hawaiians are fully reas-
sured on that question.
As has always been the case in Ha-
waiian history and tradition, it was
the death of a person of royal blood
that this portent foreshadowed. In
Mrs. Ninito Sumner of the Royal
House of Tahiti. In tradition the Ka-
mehamehas and the royal family of
Tahiti are connected. And this
strange fish with occult instincts,
which within the memory of many
now living, presaged the death of Ka-
mehameha V, Prince Lot and Mrs.
Pauahi Bishop, came into this har-
Dor to foretell no mere political event
such as annexation, but a royal
death.
Mrs. Sumner died late Wednesday
afternoon and Immediately thereaf-
ter the run of alalauwa began to di-
minish. Yesterday scarcely any were
caught, and today the most persistent
labors of the fishermen were unre-
warded.
AS soon as the death of Mrs. Sum-
ner became known among the native
fishermen and it was observed that
the alalauwa were diminishing, this
explanation of the portent was gen.
orally, almost universally, accepted.
Before that it had been assumed that
the presence of the fish had references
to annexation and the loss of Hawaii
an national independence, and much
uneasiness and foreboding as to the
results to Hawaians was the conse-
quence.
Now it is seen that the course OF
prophetic history as written by an
innate creation is unbroken. In this
instance as on all previous occasions,
the alalauwa has simply foretold a
roVal death

Steamship Tacoma will Bring Them
To be Given a Few Days Rest in
This City.

Alterations have already been
commenced at San Francisco on the
steamship Tacoma, which is to carry
250 horses to Manila for cavalry pur-
poses. Stalls are being fitted up on
the main and tween decks for the
horses, while the third deck and low

Owing to the large amount of feed
necessary to be carried it has been
decided that the Tacoma will make

DARED NAVY REGULATIONS
ROMANCE OF A TRANSPORT
SHIP.
How Mrs. Reeve, Wife of the Colonel
of the Thirteenth Minnesota, Came
to Honolulu.

There is very pretty romance con-
nected with the presence in Honolulu
of Mrs. Reeve, wife of the colonel of
the Thirteenth Minnesota. She came
here with her husband on the trans
port and everybody naturally admir-
ed her for doing it. But it seems it
took something. more than wifely de-
votion to do it. She had to dare un-
alterable naval regulations.
The Examiner thus speaks of the
pleasant surmises of her friends when
they found she had left San Francis
co:
Mrs. Colonel Reeve wife of the gal
liant commander of the Thirteenth
Minnesota volunteers disappeared from
the gaze of her local friends the day
before her husbands regiment sail
ed for Manila on the City of Para and
now a rumor comes from Minneapolis
that she went on the steamer.
Of course there is no way of verify
ing or disproving the story at this
time, and Mrs. Reeve may have gone
to visit relatives or friends in some of
the eastern states, but it was not i'm
possible to get away on the Para.
and stategy is as fair in love as it is
in war.
The army regulations stood as a
prohibition against the departure of
the lady, and Colonel Reeve was a
strict and rigorous soldier. If Mrs
Reeve managed to stow away in her
husbands stateroom until the stea-
mer was far out at sea she naturally
acquired control of the situation.
Neither the authority of husband
nor the authority of colonel could
prevent continuance of the voyage"

END OF A FAMINE.

The sweet tooth fraternity will
be pleased The peanut famine Is at
an end, a stock having arrived by
the last sailing vessel. Though we
grow peanuts in large quantities on
the Islands, they are absolutely use
less for candy purposes, being too oily
and coarse. In consequence of the
interruption in freight, the regular
supplies of peanuts did not come
from the Coast and the consequence
has been that no peanut candy has
been for sale. A talk with the can
dy men reveals the fact that the ar
ticle is much in demand and that they
have suffered serious loss by the fail
ure of supply. "You would be sur
prised to see how many elderly peo-
pie buy it," said one, "and they eat
it themselves, too"

CULLOM ON HAWAII.
Thinks that the Islands Should be
Given a Colonial Government.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Senator
Cullom, chairman of the committee
appointed to report on a form of gov
ernment for Hawaii, is the first of
that body to express himself. Today.
after stating that in his opinion, the
commission would not get away be
fore August 1st, Senator Cullom said
to a Call representative that in his
opinion the Islands should not be ad-
mitted into the Union as state nor
yet as a territory He was inclined to
believe that for the present she
should be given colonial govern
ment, with no more representation
than has Alaska at present.

yesterday:

er, who used to work on the Advertis-

correct. Harry Smith left the fore

CorporatiOnS Versus Trade Unions.

But while it is evident that the corporate
form of conducting business has been OF wide
benefit to mankind, despite the abuses that
have attached to it, there may not be such
general admission of the truth that the trade
union and the labor organization nave Deen
equally beneficial. 1t is sometimes SAID that Ia
Dor organizes because capital does, and that IL
is Obliged to do so in self-defense. am 1ar
from saving that there is no truth in this state
neut brt think that it is only partial state
meut of the truth. Labor organizes, primarily,
not simply to contend against capltal ana lof
self-defensc, but it organizes for precisely the
same reason that capital does; that is, tor its
own advantage. 1t organizes in response to
tendency of the times, which labor can resist
no more than capital. 1t is the recognition by
labor of the vision of the poet, that 1.-THE IN

labor has often been cruel i'll its attitude to Ia
boring men who wish to work upon All lndlvld-
nal basis; but it cannot be justly said that it is
more cruel than organized capital has been IN
its own field. The individual competitor has
been removed from the pathway OF the trust as
the individual laborer has been deprived OF
work by the labor organization. Indeed,
think it may be roughly said that there is 10
fault that can be charged against organized Ia
Dor which may not be charged with equal truth

these faults exhibit themselves, from the nature
of the case, are different, but i'll both Instances
