REFORM SCHOOL AWAITS THEM
If THEY DO.
Representative Kaai's Drastic Bill on
the Subject Said to be Entirely New
Legislation.

Representative Kaai's bill prohibit
ing the use of tobacco by children un-
der fifteen is said to be something en-
tirely new in the history of legisla-
ton on the subject. There is moth
ing like it on the statute books of
the Republic, and it is not known that
there is anything like it in the legis-
lation of other countries. The most
that seems to have been attempted
in the direction of protecting the
young from the injury caused by the
use of tobacco has been to prohibit
its sale to children under given age.
Such II law has been in force here ev-
er since 1856.
Representative Kaai says he was
influenced to introduce the bill by
his own observation and that of his
wife, of the extent to which tobacco
is used among school children, par
ticularly in the country, and the in
jury it is working. His wife, who is
q school teacher. has told him that in
some schools almost every pupil uses
tobacco. All efforts in the schools
either by way of moral influence or
punishment is unavailing to put n
stop to it or even to materially de-
crease it.
Among the boys it is made point
of honor and an evidence of superb
ority to be able to smoke without be-
coming sick. The smaller boys emu
late the example of the larger ones
Among the girls the habit is cultl-
waited partly in imitation of the boys
and partly to prove their equality.
The difficulty of enforcing the pres
ent act prohibiting the sale of tobac-
co to children makes the law practl-
callv a dead letter. The Chinese shop
keepers are the worst transgressors.

The Committee on Buildings and
Lands, of which Professor w. ID. AL

report to the Educational Board on
the appropriation for new school
buildings which has already passed
the Senate and is now pending in the
House.
The total sum appropriated for all
the Islands amounts to $4,000. To
this the committee recommends that

The committee recommended that

need, be added to the appropriation.
Also that provision be made for addi-

cases.
The committee is not prepared to
say that a school house is needed at

FIRST ISLANDER TO OFFER HIS
SERVICES.
Ready to Take Up Arms For the Unit
ed States in Case of War With the
Spanish.

Robert w. Wilcox, the ex-revoiu-
zionist, has decided to offer his SER
vices to the United States govern
ment in case of war with Spain. and
will have the honor of being the first
Islander to come to the front in the
impending crisis.
Mr. Wilcox is thoroughly in earnest.
He was educated for the army, and
his spirit has not been broken by the
numerous defeats he has suffered IN
the cause of his people. Since the in
surrection of 1895, he has changed his
views entirely on the Hawaiian ques-
ton, and has become an ardent an
neNationist, and his greatest desire is
to be known as an American. He has
so far succeeded in convincing the
Government of his sincerity that a
full and complete pardon has been
promised him for the part he played
in the insurrection of 1895.
Mr. Wilcox has penned the follow
ing letter to Secretary of War Alger,

RATTOON FIELD RUINED BY THE
FLOOD.
Dividend Withheld Because of Dis
couraging Report-C. Bolte is Now
Investigating.

The report comes from Kahuku
plantation that the recent floods COW
cred large field from which the cane
had just been taken off, leaving it
covered with debris to depth of
about five feet, and it is feared, ruin
ing the rattoons so it will be necessa-
ry to replow the field. At last ac-
counts the water had not subsided
sufficiently to admit of thorough esti-
animation, so that no accurate esti-
mate of the damage could be made.
1t bore so serious an aspect, however,
that Il dividend of per cent on plan
tation stock. which was to have been
paid yesterday, was withheld If it
is found necessary to replow the field
it will practically mean loss of about
l,5O0 tons of sugar to the plantation

Co., went down to Kahuku yesterday
to investigate the matter No report
has been received from him yet. Man
ager Weight was i'm the city early in
the week and reported that two of
the railroad bridges on the plantation
and considerable section of the
track had been washed away. In or
der to reach this city. the manager
had found it necessary to swim his
horse out to sea in order to get round
the swollen streams. Huge uprooted
trees had been washed down from the
mountains. tearing holes in the
ground to "A depth Of eight and ten
feet where they struck the banks in
their flight toward the sea.
The cane field that was flooded had
recently been cut and the rattoons
were doing nicely. Driftwood and up
rooted trees We're floating over it at
last accounts, and it looked very much
as if the young rattoons would be so
choked mp as to render it necessary to
clear and replow the field. If. howev-

OFFICIAL NEWS FROM THE L. S.
GOVERNMENT.
Subsidy of Thirty Thousand Dollars
Voted by the Colony-Steamers to
be Running This Summer.

The story concerning a new steam
ship line between Honolulu and Ia
hiti published exclusively in The
Star early in February, is fully con-
firmed by the advices of the Ameri-
can Minister to the State Department,
recently printed in the advance sheets
of the Consular Reports. The Minis
ter says in his report, under date OF
February 3rd:
81 have the honor to report that
the French Government seriously con-
templates the establishment of line
of steamers between Honolulu and Pa
peete, Tahiti. The colony of Tahiti
has voted an annual subsidy of $50, 900
for the proposed line. This would be
branch of the Messageries- -Maritimes
and passengers and freight which
now go by sailing packet between Ia
hiti and San Francisco will be trans
shipped here. The report of NJ. Nos-
sion, the French Commissioner, call
ed for by the French Colonial Depart
ment, has been sent forward. He in
forms me that the line will probably
be established within three months.
The line will be of great Importance
to commercial interests here and at
San Francisco"
The most important item of news in
the Minister'S statement is that the
Colony at Tahiti has voted subsidy
of $4,000 annually to the proposed
line. which makes it almost certain
that the line will be established. No
subsidy will be asked of the Hawaiian
Government, although it is probable
that concessions will be made on the
wharfage, water, etc. The Cabinet. it
is understood, looks very favorably
upon the proposition. and will render
material aid to the establishment of
the line
French Commissioner Noisson stat
ed today that further than what is
contained in Minister Sewall's report.
he had nothing to say. He is now
waiting for further information from
Paris concerning the proposed new
line which may come on any steamer.
The commissioner added that it was
the original intention of the promot-
ers of the new line. to have the stea-
mers running this summer. and so
far as he knows nothing has arisen 10
interfere with their plans.

and the Hardy brothers. who are eN-

TO RELIEVE THE WHALERS.

The steam whaler Karlull sailed
from San Francisco fortnight ago,
for the Far North. Roth, Blum q Co.
her owners, instructed Captain Nc
Gregor to break through the ice with
all possible haste and reach the frozen
in whalers. The karluk is carrying
supplies for the ice bound crews and
Blum believes she will reach them
long before the Bear gets anywhere
near where they are. The Karluk is
not a pretty vessel, but is strongly
built and eminently adapted for its
fight with the ice. She will remain in
the northern waters for a year and
engage in hunting whales, but her
first concern is to get food to the
ships locked up in the ice. The schoo-
ner Compeer will be dispatched by
Roth, Blum q Co. in May with a fur
ther supply of provisions, and if the
calculations of the San Francisco
firm are correct, the imprisoned wha-
lers will be free, provisioned and once
more hunting whales while the Bear
and her overland relief expedition are
still far away.
