share in the responsibility of the adj
miaistration, in inaugurating the ex-
pertinent of colonial policy, or take
the responsibility of hamperlng that
policy. and that they would prefer
doing neither during the next two
years. Ii that sentiment exists to
any extent among the voters of the
party, there is 10 doubt of the result
of the election.
Among the noted officers now in
Washington, are Gems. Miles, Wheel
er, Lee, and Lawton, of the Army,
and Capt. Robley ID. Evans, and
Lieut.. Hobson, of the Navy. The
latter officer is here to report to a
Board of the Chiefs of Bureaus OF
the Navy Department, on his work
upon the wrecked Spanish ships. This
Board will decide whether the work
shall be continued. HObSOn's con
fidence in success in raising the ships
is not shared by all of the Naval
officials. But if public sentiment Is
consulted, they willnot stop llobson S
work. on account of its cost, if there
is any certainty of his succeeding in
saving the ships. Those ships would,
in the eyes of most people, be worth
more than new ones would cost, as
object lessons in the patriotism,
bravery and craftsmanship OF the
American sailors, and if they can be
saved, neither cost nor jealousy OF
Hobson should be allowed to stand
in the way.
A rather curious request has been
made of the Navy Department by
the Acme Wrecking Company, OF
San Francisco. This company wants
to raise the battleship Maine, and
bring her to the L. s., claiming to
have method by which the work
can be accomplished, and asks moth
NC more Of the government than
permission to do the work at Its own
expense. The company states in its
request that ifthe Government wishes
the ship after it has been safely
brought to some [. 5. harbor, that 1t
will not ask more than the usual
salvage payment, through condemna-
ton proceedings. 1t is not supposed
thst the government would care to
buy the wreck. In fact, the real OBJ
isct Of the Company is to raise the
Maine in order that she may be ex-
hibited in this country, although
nothing of the kind is said inits letter
to the Navy Department. Accord
ing to the request of The company, it
intends to blow the mud from under
the wreck, with streams of water I'M
der high pressure, and then to pass
chains under and at ach them to a
framework on each side, connected
with system of steel air-tight bar
rcls. The gradual winding up of these
chains is counted upon to raise the
wreck.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The Teachers Institute OF Shenan'
doah county, which met in joint SEES
sion with the Teachers League Oct.
9th, was called to order at II a. N.
| by the county Superintendent and
on motion of Z. Frank Ramey, J.
Luther Kibler was elected Secretary.
Adjournment was then taken until
l:I5 p. m. when Supt McInturff call
ed the Institute to order. A hymn,
any Country IT'S of Thee" was sung,
Miss McInturf' presiding at the
organ. Prayer was offered by Rev.
J. ?. Nef'. The roll call showed 60
teachers present; but the total attend
ance was as follows:-Lee, s; Ashby,
| IL; Madison, II; Johnston, 10; Stone
wall, 10; Davis, 10; Woodstock, A.
making S. present and 43 absent.
Supt. Mclnturtf then made some
explanatory remarks instructing the
teachers upon the subject Of the new
textbooks and their introduction in
to the Schools, stating that to save
complications and to avoid confusion
in the school room, the changeto the
new books would be made at the OPP
ening of the schools. Zone month
time will be granted to complete the
exchangc.) The Subject, "Our COM
mon school books and how to use
them" was then discussed by j.
Luther KILLER, at some length. He
"eulogizcd" the new textbooks and
gave some brief hints rs to the man.
ner of teaching the same.
The following resolution was offer
ed by J. L. Will and the same was
adopted without opposilion:-Resolv-
ed. that we the teachers of Shenan-
doah county, in In stitute assembled,
endorse the action of the County
School Board in the adoption of
school books, and ask the hearty Co
operation ofthe patrons ofo schools
in introducing them into the Schools

adjourned until 8 a. m. Friday.
On Thursday night, Prot. /. S.
Wampler, OF West Central Academy,

showed wherein teaching is unlike
other "learned professions" in that
| many teachers use the profession as
ssepping-stone TO move lucrative
DO itions. In the light Of the high
character of the teachers's calling or
work their salaries are insufficient for
thorough preparation and for liv-
ing. Prof. Wampler EN- hasized the
importance of better trained teachers
and advocated a change in the man
ner of adjusting salaries, so as to in-
crease the amount paid those who
hold the higher grade of Certificates,
which would be an incentive to

WASHINGTON LETTER,
lrrom our REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

(FrOm our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-No sur
prise was felt in Washington at the
semi-official announcement the L. ,.
would demand all of the Philippine
islands. 1t has been felt from the first
that such would be the ultimate re-
suit. Politics has had little or moth
ing to do with the decision Of the adj
ministration to adopt this policy. II
is public opinion, regardless Of poll
tics, that has brought it about.
When President Mckinley started
upon that Western trip, neither ne
nor any member of his Cabinet had
made up their minds that we should
take the Philippines, and at least
one of them-Seeretary Gage-was
opposed to our taking any Of the
islands; but when they returned to
Washington, sthey had all about
made up their minds that public
opinion was so strongly in favor OF
American ownership ofthe entire
Philippine group, as the only logical
browning ofDewey'S great victory IN
Manila bay, that no other policy
would do. What they heard later,
at Philadelphia, clinched that opinion,
and our Peace Commissioners at
Paris were accordingly instructed to
make that demand. So much for the
adoption of the policy.
While it is certain that policy Of
American ownership of the
Philippines will be popular,
it remains to be ascertained
whether the method of obtaining
that ownership will meet with suci
general approval. 1t must be IN
derstood to start with that no official
announcement has been made con
corning that met cd, tbut hat enough
has been said by those who ought to
know 10 cause it to be believed that
the consent of SPAN will be obtained
either by a direct payment OF money
to Spain, or 10y the assumption Of
about S4O,O0O,OO0 Of Spa 'ish bonds,
issued for improvements in the Philip
pines. At first glance, there will
n ,turally be opposition to the U. 5.
paying $40, 100000 or any other sum,
for undisputed possession OF territory
which had already been conquered
bv force of arms. But many will
doubtless accept the argument that
the Philippine bonds, which were
not, as were tn, Cuban bonds, issued
to make war against the natives OF
the islands, but for purposes of pub
lie improvement, should be consider
ed a lien on the is land, regardless of
ownership, and that it would be an
Injustice, disereditable to great
country like the L. s., to take the
islands from Spain and leave that
country TO pay Indebtedness incurred
for public impi ovements on them.
The question is likely TO be much
discussed, as soou as it becomes
absolutely certain upon what terms
we are to acquire the Philippines.
At the headquarters of The repub.
hcan and democratic Congressional
Committees in Washington, the
claims are about equal as to which
party viii elect majority Of the next
House, but the opinion outside Is that
that the republicans will retain con-
troll ofthe House by reduced ma
;or;ty. Some democrats say that they
would prefer that the House should
remain republican. because it their
party carried il, they would have

HOMESTEAD SOLD.
Beuna Vista in Nuuanu,
Purchased By Desky.
Five Acres of a Valley PlaCe-PaIn
AVenue-House-N Settled
How it viii Be Handled.

The heaviest real estate deal con
summated this year so far, was quietly
closed yesterday forenoon. Chas. S.
Desky is again a heavy buyer
This time he has purchased in
Nuuanu valley. Mr.. Desky has secured
from Mrs. Laura Wight the beautiful
Beuna Vista place. This is one of the
most attractive and extensive if not
the very finest homestead in Nuuanu
valley, a locality of model tropical es-
tates. The consideration is of course
away in the thousands of dollars. The
main residence, built not many years
ago is a two and half story mansion
of perhaps 20 rooms and cost $4,000.
The Beuna Vista land has an area Of
about five acres. There is a wide front
age on the avenue and the back line is
clear across Nuuanu stream. The place
has long been known as a most de-
lightful home and retreat. 1t has its
avenue of palms and all the other vege-
tation and ground arrangement that
goes with the Honolulu estate of
wealthy person. Beuna Vista is be-
tween the valley homes of F. A. Schae-
fer and E. Faxon Bishop.
Mr.. Desky will not say just at pres
ent what he intends to do with his new
property. He intimates that his plans
regarding the holding are incomplete.
1t can be assumed that Mr.. Desky will
utilize the holding to the very best
advantage, for he has gained the repu-
tation of being about the shrewdest
real estate buyer in the Islands. 1t has
been limited that perhaps he desires to
now set up his own establishment in
the valley, but Mr.. Deslzy has already a
pretentious homestead in Makiki, quite
new, and besides that the health of
Mrs. Desky compels her to spend most
of her time on the Coast, she now be-
ing in Oakland. AS Mr.. Desky has
subdivided a number of large tracts of
land here, it may be that he intends to
cut up Beuna Vista. He goes far enough
to say that if this course is followed,
he will sell only to people who will be,
as residents, desirable acquisitions to
the wealthy and fashionable valley
neighborhood. For the most part since
first Investing here, Mr.. Desky has
handled business and new surbaban
property. This is his first heavy ven
ture in the rich residence section.
Beuna Vista, which is on the waikiki
XII side of the valley, was years ago the
homestead of the Patys. The place is
we'll known to the kamaainas and has
always arrested the attention of tour
lists. 1t commands a view Of the city
and harbor and the sea beyond, and al
ways has the cool air of the valley.

Sailors and Police.

Word came to the police station at
noon yesterday that there was lively
row in progress aboard the ship West
ern Monarch, lying at the foot Of Nuu-
anu street. A couple Of officers were
dispatched to the scene. They return
ed with a prisoner and with a poor
chap who had been badly beaten about
the head The wounds of the injured
man were dressed. The captain of the
Western Monarch had objected to the
invasion of his ship by officers and had
come to headquarters to have a
say. Deputy Hitchcock was in the
office. The deputy's ire was up in fine
fashion. Said he to the skipper, who
had made some rash talk: you may
be a little king on wheels aboard your
ship when you get outside, but while
you're in this port you must recognize
the laws of the country" Mr.. Hitch
cock added one or two other remarks
that caused the captain to silently de-
part.

SAILOR RUSE?
One OF the Indiana Men Attract
ing Attention.

Hamilton, the sailor Of the Indiana.
who has been doing time out at Oahu
jail for trying to send the Indiana to
the bottom of the bay at Hilo. IS now at
the police station. He has become very
peculiar of late and Will pay no atten-
ton whatever to anything that is said
70 him. He walks up and down the
prison yard all day long. 1t is believed
by many that Hamilton is Just playing
'possum" and that there is nothing
whatever the matter with him. 1t is
rumored that he will be sent to sea on
a vessel leaving this port very. soon.
Hamilton has been acting rather
queerly for several days and it was de-
cided that he should be watched close
ly. 1t is a fact. however, that he was
in his right mind when the members
of the Legislature visited Oahu Jail last
week for as they were walking past the
seat near the kamani tree where Ham
ilton was seated with other prisoners,
he arose and accosted Representative
Richards whom he had met in Hilo
while on the Indiana. To him he men
toned that he had been kept in prison
without cause. He needed $50 to get
out. He then looked very pleadfngly at
Richards who promised
him that he would look into the mat
ter. Just at this moment, one of the
guards approached and warned the
member from the First District that
no conversation with prisoners was
