MORE RAILROAD.

No one can take ride on the cars
of the Oahu Railway Company to its
present terminus at Waialua, without
being impressed with its great value
to the Island. And more than this,
with the unconquerable energy that
has constructed it. Circumstances,
situation, create men. Mr.. Dillingham;
is the man in this case. Fifty-fve
miles of track, in these Islands, means
more than it does in any other coun-
try. The men who largely called into
being the railway, the Eva planta-
ton, the Oahu plantation, and makes
other rich plantations possible is still
the same man whom other men sheer
ed at few years ago. They do not
sheer now. By and bye they will talk
of the day, when it was a wilderness
beyond Pearl Harbor. and that one
man knew how to make it blossom.

THE INCOME TAN.

cal correctness, II may be practically

The men who advocate it here have

CABLE CUTTING.

Mr. Harold Frederick, OF London,
writes regarding the status of tele-
graph cables:
1t is quite certain that Admiral
CoIomb on Wednesday, after Sir Sher-
ston bakers lecture on international
law before the Chamber of Commerce,
had 10 confess himself not altogether
enlightened by the utteranees, lucid
as far as they went, of the accepted
authority of this country on that deli
cate subject. Baker himself could only
plead ignorance when asked point

solution, as to the right of belIigerents

so as TO prevent an enemy's dispatch
IS being carried through neutral terri
tory. There are no presidents, he
said, and no authority on the subject.
The law in this vital matter was still
10 be made. Now, although the learn
ed Baronet did not say so in so many
words, it is for our people, on this the
first occasion when the practical ques-
ton has arisen, to themselves create
a precedent in International law. With
out posing as iurist or an expert in
a technical matter of the most intri-
cate kind, I find it difficult to resist
the common sense OF the words used
to me by distinguished seaman after
Bakers lecture: Clearly blockade
leaves the enemy the free use OF a
voiee-pipe communicating with his
own headquarters at home Another
opinion reached me, perhaps not meant
for ny ears: Cut the cable? Damn
ed if I wouldn't The simple empha-
sis OF this latter sentiment is, how
ever. perhaps hardly in accordance
with the stately tenets OF learned iu-
rists."
The American Government has set
tied the question By holding that ca
bles within three leagues OF an enc
mics shore are to be treated as prop
erty within the enemies lines, and will
be destroyed.

NATIVES AND SOLDIERS.

One Of the pleasant incidents of the
visit OF the American troops was the
kindly way with which they regarded
the natives
Especial pains were taken TO ascer-
tain the views OF the soldiers, as they
moved about the streets. on this sub
iect. So far as We can judge, they did
not class the natives either with
negroes or Indians, but on the whole
placed them on a much higher plane.
Under the circumstances, they were
confined to appearances only in max
ing up their judgments. 1t was the
general remark of the visiting SOL
diers that the natives had kindly,
pleasant and intelligent expression.
Some Of their remarks when COM
menting on the subject were over
heard, and not a remark was made
that would hurt the feeling Of the
most sensitive native.
We are inclined to think that the
general opinion in the United States
is that the natives resemble the In
dians. But if all the American SOL

A VALUABLE OPINION.

Prof Hollis Of Harvard University.
formerly a noted engineer in the
American Navy. presents some valua-
bic notes in the Atlantic Monthly on
the Uncertain Factors in Naval Con-
tiicts. in modern times. He does not
believe that the former wooden ships
were any safer than the modern iron
vessels. He thinks that it is sad
fate for the nation which is the latest
to build q navy To be the first TO make
a trial of it before the world. No ma
ton he says, has had really decisive
practice with modern weapons At sea,
and all progress has been made on
theory. The feature of the modern
gun is its accuracy of aim. 1t is aim
ed by means of cross hairs in tele-
scopes, and fired by electric buttons.
which are instantaneous in action.
He says the Spaniards have great
courage. He remarks that the ma
chinery of the Spanish ships has al
ways suffered in the hands of foreign
engineers. principally Scotch and Eng
lish, hired for the purpose"
Does any one know how many of
these foreign engineers have left the
Spanish fleet? 1t was reported some
weeks ago. that in Cadiz. they refused
to serve. Nor can the Spaniards i'm
press them, because they are British
subjects.
The difference between the Ameri-
cans and Spaniards is not one of BRAY
cry, but one of mechanical knowledge
and force, and these seem likely to be
the determining factors in the present
war"
Regarding coal supplies, he cites the
case of the Charleston:
Just after the Baltimore affair at
Valparaiso, the Charleston was order
ed from Shanghai to Honolulu, and
before reaching the latter place found
orders TO proceed to Valparaiso. She
took on 500 tons of coal. which was
sufficient under ordinary circumstan-
ces, to carry her five or six thousand
miles. She left Honolulu and headed
for Callao, but about three days out
she struck a very heavy gale of wind
dead ahead. After steaming ten days
against this wind and tremendous
sea, she was obliged to put in to San
Diego with coal for only one days
steaming left. The distance actually
covered was a little more than two
thousand miles"
This is an excellent illustration of
the value of coal stations.
Prof. Hollis does not believe that
torpedo boats are very grave element
of danger. The rapid firing guns
should quickly destroy them. What
they may do against battleships re-
mains to be seen.
