THE PARADISE.

This welcome magazine puts in its
appearance very regularly at the be-
ginning of the month and proves on
each occasion thoroughly satisfactory.
AS an advertisement of the Islands il
is an excellent publication. 1t is
strictly non-political, but it contains
Information upon the scenic beauties
of the Islands and publishes articles
upon the industries of the various
districts from Kauai to Hawaii. The
illustrations are up to date, and
form one of the principal features of
the magazine. In this number there
is IA view of Kings street, east of Al
akea, with its overhanging trees. \
very pretty scene by a brook, showing
Portuguese women washing, and "a
fine representation of j. NJ. lIorner's
coffee plantation in Hamakua. The
letter press is supplied by well known
and practical pens. Charles II. Ew-
art gives snap shot at Honolulu in
poetic prose" w. \. Armstrong, editor
of the Advertiser, is responsible for
an article on tobacco raising. Janet
Jennings, celebrated newspaper cor
respondent, writes of "Olaa's Coffee
Belt" and Consul General Haywood's S
report on coffee is continued. Besides
these main articles there is much
which is of interest about the Islands.
The magazine is quite an addition TO
our Island literature.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
\ Number of Important Matters Be
fore 1t for Consideration.

The Executive Council this morn
ing had "A number of important mat
ters before it for consideration.
Among them was the subject of the
damage done to roads, bridges and
public works by the recent floods. De-
tailed reports of these have not yet
been received, so that no measures TO
repair the damage or provide for sim
liar casualties in the future could be
formulated. Much information on
the subject however was received,
which will be supplemented and made
complet by the written report which
superintendent of Public Works Row
ell will submit.
The cemetery question was also dis
cussed. The question of location was
considered as well as whether it
should be owned and controlled by
the Government directly or through
the agency of cemetery association.
There was the usual correspondence
and reports from officials on the 9th
er Islands, which was considered and
acted on.

SUCH USE OF AALA AND MAKIKI
RECOMMENDED
Senate Committee Thinks Their Free
Use by the Public in This Form the
Most Useful.

The Finance Committee reported on
Senate Bill No. IL relating to the in
come tax and Schedule L. The com-
mittee says it was not the intention
of the trainers of the bill to make
Schedule + apply to purely mercan-
tile houses. But to remove doubt it
presented a substitute bill by which
Section GS of the original act is amen
ded so as to specifically exempt per-
sons or corporations doing a purely
mercantile business from its opera
tions.
Senator Baldwin said it was not ex-
actly true that the trainers of the
original act did not intend that it
should apply to such business. But
it probably was not the policy of the
law to make it apply. However such
change as was proposed ought to be
very carefully considered before il
was passed. The bill was read for
first time and passed.
The following bills were read by
title and referred to appropriate COM
mittees: Senate Bills Nos. "a, 25. 16
and substitute House Bill No. 5, relat-
ing to licenses.
Amended House Bill No. Is. author
dover through an attorney in fact,
duly authorized, was taken up on the
report of the Judiciary Committee and
passed second reading with a slight
amendment of the title. IT will be
read third time on Wednesday.
Senator IIolstein introduced the bills
of which he gave notice requiring all
suits to be tried in the circuit in
which the cause of action arises.
Senator Lyman for the Public lands
Committee reported recommending
that the Aala property instead of be-
ing made into park. be "set apart
and maintained as free public rec
reation ground, which is what It is
wanted for. rather than for a park
Your committee also recommend
that the land at Makiki called the old

mind, says a recent New York eX-
change.
There are shells and fossils on the
Islands which are not found elsewhere
and besides these, says a Princeton
dispatch, scattered all over the Is
lands are burying caves, in which for
centuries the natives have buried their
dead. These caves are thought 10

they are, and permit them to be ex-

ought to be worth searching for. Half

ALTON NEWS NOTES FROM MAUI FOR RECREATION GROUNDS
PURSE TO WELLS AND MEDAL TO
WINCHESTER.
Awards of Merit to the Flood Heroes
to be Made Tomorrow-WhatT They
are Like.

With portion of the money which
the citizens of Honolulu have gener-
ously subscribed toward purse to
reward the two heroes of the recent
flood, The Star has purchased hand
some gold medal for Charles Winches-
ter, the rescuer of young Brito; the
remainder of the money will be placed
in a 6he leather pocketbook, donated
by Jeweler Wichman, and presented
to William Wells. the young sailor of
the bark Il. =. Rithet. Both presen-
tations will take place tomorrow.
The sailor will receive the pocket
book from the hands of Captain
Thompson, in the present of the as
sembled crew. at IA. m. and Captain
Thompson will welcome aboard any
person who desires to witness the ar
fair. The medal will be presented to
young Winchester in The Star Office,
at 10 o'clock, in the presence of one OF
the brothers from St. Louis College. It
was the general desire that the pre-
sentation be made at the school, In
the presence of the pupils, but as his
is vacation week, the school is not in
session.
The handsome pocketbook which
VIII contain the money presented to
Sailor Wells. has in it a silver plate,
bearing the following inscriptions:
presented to
WILLIAM WELLS.
BY the Citizens of Honolulu Through
The Hawaiian Star.
For an Heroic Effort to Save Life.
March "a. 1898"
The medal to be presented to Win
chester bears a similar inscription. It
is of solid gold, beautifully chased
and handsomely engraved with an ap-
propriate design on the reverse side.
Despite the efforts of certain parties
to discredit the act of bravery per-
formed by Charles Winchester, The
Star adheres firmly to the belief that
Winchester was the real hero of the
Brito incident. in that he dared to
spring upon treacherous raft in the
roaring flood, where no one dared to
follow and seizing Brito held him
above the water until help arrived.
There is no desire to belittle Morris
nervy action. but that does not de-
tract from Winchester's bravery.

BIaneo Wins the First Fall.

The conflict between the American
Government and General Blanco, the
undefeated commander at Havana, has
reached an interesting stage. Encour-
aged by the ready subservience of the
Commission appointed by the Presi-
dent, Blanco persisted in his refusal to
allow the landing of the supplies sent
down by the Government on the Comal
for the relief of the starving Cubans.
Blanco has won this fall. for the Amer
lean Government has directed the cap
tain Of the Comal to go to MatanZas TO
unload.
This must work great mischief TO the
Americans in their future relations
with the Cubans IL il is final. 1t is only
one of many trlumphs by Blanco over
the Americans. Tie political prisoners
who should have been released when
the protocol was signed are still in the
filthy jails. and their appeals to the
Commissioners are respectfully refer
red to Blanco himself. The continued
sovereignty of Spain has been affirmed
and maintained. and Cuban soldiers are
still arrested for treason against Spain
and for speaking favorably of America.
The supreme purpose for which the war
was waged-the rescue of the Cubans
from starvation-is not yet achieved.
Meanwhile, faction of self-seeking
Cubans are setting up fraudulent
government to dispute with us the right
to rule the island until good order is
restored. Much of this is due to the
public recognition of Spain's sovereign
ty in the person of Blanco by our own
Commission.
| 1t is now asserted that the Govern
ment is making arrangements to send
! troops TO Havana within month. Ac-
cording to the statements of newspaper
! correspondents there, the Commission
ers were disposed to grant the time de-
! manded by Rlanco for evacuation-un-
til the last day of February of next
year. 1t is said to be the intention of
the President to compel the embarka-
ton of the Spanish army by the end OF
/ the coming month. using force if nee
/ essary. If there had been reasonable
firmness in the beginning, there would
have been no such complications.

SUICIDE ON A SHIP.
A Passenger Hangs Himself I'm His
Cabin.

New York. Sept 26.-Charles Putzi was
the name given by a second cabin passen-
ger of the French line steamship Gas
cogne which arrived here yesterday. who
committed suicide at sea. From the pains
which he took to destroy evidences Of
his identity, there is reason TO believe that
Putzi is not his name. He hanged himself
in a second cabin compartment when the
Gascogne was a day out from Havre-
Putzi purchased his ticket on board the
steamship just before the gangplankS
were drawn in. He was about thirty-five
years old. five feet five inches in height
and had gray eyes. He worn a light brown
mustache, his hair being of the same
color. The man wore a neat-fitting light
suit. q straw hat. and tan shoes.

complained to the steward that his berth
was so far aft that the churning of the
screw would disturb his sleep and ne was

the steward who brought il five francs in
payment. The steward handed back four
francs, but PutZi said. Keep the

morning. and the door was fOrCibly open

hours. The man had hanged himself with

SENATOR MoRRILL'S SERVICE.
His Friends Say That He May Re-
sign This Winter.

The proposed resignation from the Sen
ate this winter of Hon Justin S. Morrill,
of Vermont formed an interesting topic
of discussion at the White House today.
especially as his retirement from the Sem
ate will necessitate the appointment of a
chcairman for two important committees
Senator MorriH is eighty-nine years old.
and during his long public career he has
served twelve years as a member of the
House of Representatives and thirty-two
years in the Senatae.
He proposes to resign, his friends say,
this winter. in order to give the Vermont
Legislature an opportunity to elect his
successor. Senator Morrill, has cOmplet
ed half of his sixth term in the Senate.
and it is stated on excellent authority
that he will not serve another term.
He is chairman of the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate. Senator Allison, who is
second on the Finance Committee. will. IL
is believed. be made the chairman. Mr..
Allison is now cchairman of the Appropri-
ations Committee. which is considered
next in Importance to that of finance.
Senator Hale is second on the Appro-
priation Committee. but it is not thought
that he would accept the chairmanship.
as he will prefer to remain al the head of
the Committee on Naval Affairs. There
fore the craftsmanship of the Committee
on Appropriations will. no doubt, fall to

great powers of Europe. High officials

forced to resign; there have been sui

there are such riots as have preceded

only too much reason to fear it will de-
