The City of Columbia.

The City Of Columbia will soon
be taken for the Flying Holland
or" OF romantic fame, in the Pacific
ocean. Harvey Johnston, formerly
of the City OF Columbia, arrived
here by the Garonne and tells us
that the City OF Columbia will ar
rive in Hon lulu on or about Friday
this week with her crew, who will
libel the steamer here for wages
due. The men consider, that it will
be wiser for them to have their
claims against the vessel adjusted
in Honolulu than taking chances in
Seattle.
Mr.. Johnston has compromised
his suit against the unfortunate
steamer for considerable consider
alton.
He is accompanied by his family
and friend, Mrs. Maloy, who all
feel charmed with the Hawaiian ISL
auds. Mr.. Johnston is the proprie-
tor Of leading saloon in Seattle,
and says that the town is crowded
with people waiting to go to Alaska's
goldfeld in the spring.
The City of Columbia will be sold
here to satisfy the claims against
her, and will probably be purchased
and presented by grateful people
as steam yacht to patriot Dole,
who soon will have to discard his
official toga and what is worse yet,
get along without his salary and in
cidentals.

ANOTHER PROTEST.

We understand that the plug-hat
brigade is to the front again, this
time to gather in shekels to arrange
for a solemn protest to France
against the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands. No notice would be
taken OF the antics OF these poor
people who cling to the independ.
ence OF their country, even after
that independence has disappeared
forever, if it was not that their
schemes" are always followed by
request to dig" which too often
only is responded to by other ignor-
ant Hawaiians, who have as much
faith in the plug-ha brigade as the
Indian has in his medicine man or
even brilliant men like Harold
Fredericks in healing by Christian
science. Poor France has something
else to attend to than bothering
about the new territory of the
Z United States. The proposition to
protest to France would be ridicul-
ously absurd, If it didn't show such
a lack of intelligence and COM
mon sense on the part of the
professionals" Judge Ell. A. Wide
mann, on behalf of Queen Liliuoka-
lani. visited Europe when there still
was a possibility for interference in
Hawaiian affairs. While yet in Lon
don he learned officially that France
. had abandoned the cause OF Hawaii's
Queen and that treaty or no treaty
the great Republic Of Europe wash
ed hands of Hawaii's future. Do
our friends OF the Hui Kalaialna and
other political huis believe for a
. moment that France has changed
her policy and that she now would
take up the cudgels in behalf of a
people and country, in which she
hasn't the slightest political or
financial interest. The protest or
petition, or whatever it is to be call
ed, will of course do no good and
will be consigned to the diplomatic
waste basket. But the idiotic step
means money out OF somebody's
pocket and Injuries the Hawaiians in
the eyes of the men who now franz
ing a government for us.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

Greater Hilo has enjoyed a very
fine exhibition OF products and
curios from the big island, to which
reference has been made in our
paper. The exhibits we're finally
sold at auction for the benefit of
those concerned, and the next morn
ing the Garonne arrived with large
number Of tourists, who would have
been good customers for the ex-
hibitors. And Hilo now grinds her
fangs and accuses Honolulu of being
guilty of this last misfortune.

We do not claim 10 be an auth.

are willing to furnish A. with our
opinion. The bets on the fight were
declared off. 1t means that if A.
backed Sharkey and B. puts his
money on Corbett for the fight, the
decision of the referee would make
those bets null and void. Specific
bets are quite different. II A. placed
a bet, that the decision would not
be in favor OF Corbett, he is the
winner. II A. made bet that the
fight would not result in a draw, he
is the winner, and the man betting
against him was fool, as the con
dtions Of the fight stipulated mo
draw" In case of man betting on
"first blood" or "frst knock out"
the bets must stand good, and do
not come under the authority of the
referee at all in declaring bets off.
Our correspondent refers to bets Of
the nature mentioned, aud in every
instance he is the winner in our
opinion.-ED.

THE Creation"

Boulder has reason to be proud of the
talent displayed in the rendition of Hay
dn's glorious conception, "The Crea.
t,on," by the Choral society last evening.
With the exception of the tenor solo part
which was ably taken by Mr.. Yuille, a
we'll known and popular singer here. the
entire work was performed by Boulder
talent and performed in such manner
as to give the utmost satisfaction to the
large and critical audience assembled in
the Presbyterian church. Miss Berlin,
the favorite with musical audiences here,
was in especially good voice and her
powerful soprano never appeared to bet
ter effect. Mr.. hammers, newcomer
in Boulder, executed the difficult bass
parts with skill and ease and proved
himself an artist of no mean talent. The
chorus and orchestra-both the special
charges of Prof. Farnswolth, whose eff
forts have done so much to cultivate the
Boulder audiences to an appreciation of
the highest musical conceptions-were
in the best of form, and were without
doubt, the best organized of any since
the formation of the society six years ago.
The entire production was given with a
snap and energy and yet with a sympa-
thetic feeling. From the beginning to
the end. which by the way compassed
the difficult closing: chorus, a work
rarely attempted, "The Creation" met
the warmest approval of the audience
and merited in every way the heartiest
Communications which were bestowed
upon it.
