Arrival of the Aorangi.

The r. NJ. S. Aorangi arrived early
this morning and will sail at a
o'clock this afternoon.
The alfable purser courteously
furnishes the following memoranda
Of the voyage:
The r. NJ s. Aoraugi, Campbell
Hepwortb, Lieut. r. N. r., Com
mander, left Vancouver at 5:15 p. IN.
on the 2ad lust, and Victoria, B. c.,
at daylight the following morning
The steamer continues to do excel
lent work. 90 her North Eastward
voyage she made better time than
had been made hitherto by any Of
the steamers OF the line aud thus she
holds the record both to and from
Vancouver and Sydney.
Amongst the passengers are Mr.
aud Mrs. Curtis, Professor and Mrs.
Dante and others, belonging to a
company about to pay visit to New
Zealand, Australia and elsewhere
and Honolulu on the route to give
exhibitions Of legerdemain, etc.
Professor Dante favored the pas
sengers with performance during
the voyage between Victoria and
this port and it was agreed by all
that the talent displayed by him
was marvellous and not surpassed
by Maskelyne aud Cooke Hermann
or other we'll known conjurors. Ex-
ceptionally fine weather has been
experienced throughout
After coaling and landing cargo
the steamer will proceed to the
Australasian Colonies via Suva.
The passengers for this port are
Professor and Mrs. Dante and
daughter; Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis, Mr..
and Mrs. Mayhem and two children,
Mr.. Wnedell, Miss Turner, Mr..
Parcive, Mr.. Bush, Mr.. and Mrs.
Forsyth, Mr.. and Mrs. Cole, Mrs.
Purdy, Mr.. and Mrs. Mockford and
two children, Mr., Allan, Mr.. Hutton,

TOPICS OF The DAY.
Tomorrow being our national
holiday, we will take rest and 90
to the races for change.

The inmates Of the Leper Settle
ment have been hard up for poi for
many months. The use of flour
instead OF taro does not agree with
the unfortunate people, and loud
complaints were heard. Mr.. Feary,
leper, who is superintendent of
the Settlement feared a riot and to
satisfy the demands OF the people,
he left in a whaleboat for Pelekunu
and Wailau valleys whore he secured
about $50 bundles of pai-ai for which
he paid cash, advancing the money
from his own pocket, and paying at
the rate of so cents for a bundle.
Feary was wrong OF course in violat-
ing the laws by leaving the Settle
ment without permit. The super
intendent, OF all men, should observe
the laws relating to segregation. He
claims that it was an emergency,
and that it was necessary to take
the rash step. This may be true,
What we would like to know, is why
the Board of Health, knowing the
conditions at the Settlement, did
not purchase the pai-ai from the
valleys mentioned, when it must
have been known that it was there.
The contractors did try to secure
the pai-ai, but when their steamer
called, the food was not ready.
There seems to be something very
slack in regard to the furnishing of
pai-ai to the lepers, and the public
is entitled to an explanation before
another violation of the segregation
laws occur.

Geographical Accuracy.

The communication in another
column relative to the route which
the Spanish fleet is expected to
take to reach Manila is intended
simply as guy" on the Star, that
Honolulu example OF yellow jour
nalsm. We have no doubt that if
report were circulated to the
effect that Spain would send fleet
to San Francisco via the moon, the
Star would publish it upon the
principle enunciated by that jour
nal some time ago, that any rumor
was Legitimate news and il people
believed it that was their misfor-
tune. 1t may be however that the
Star has just as little idea OF inter
national relations and law now as
it did when it asserted that the
President Of the United States
could annex Hawaii as war
measure without an act of Con-
gress.
"There are others" however. The
gentleman who furnished the
communication above referred to,
said that he recently saw in a Ger
man paper the statement that, in
case Of victory, the United States
would force Spain to cede to her
"The Philippines, Hawaii and the
Sandwich Islands" Another jour
nal we'll advanced in the geography
class announced that "The Russian
Government will send 10000 troops
from St. Petersburg to Vladivostack
via Brazil and the Cape of Good
Hope" All these things go to
show that perhaps the Star is not
the most unreliable paper in the
world, though we have often been
tempted to believe it is.--Hilo Tri-
bune.

ANOTHER SURE THING.

A man in Washington has cabled
to a man in San Francisco, who has
wired to a man in Victoria, B. O.,
who has written TO 2. @. Jones in

measure. We have heard about
that kind of cablegram during the
past FIVE years, and they are getting

BY the same mail cable message
was received by gentleman in Ho.
nolulu who has at all times been
better posted on matters pertaining
to Hawaii than have the most pro-
minent P. G.s. His informant states
that the cause OF annexation is hope
less; that the determined attitude
OF Speaker Reed will win the day
and that Hawaii for many days to
come will remain independent.

The people who believe that Mr..
Mckinley could annex Hawaii as
war measure while Congress is in
session show very sad degree of
ignorance in political affairs. But
if the despatch to Mr.. Jones can
raise their sinking spirits, they are
very welcome to the comfort they
derive from once more having "a
