BEST0WAL OF
THE BRUCE MEDAL

To the eminent German scientist, Dr.
Arthur Auwers, the Bruce gold medal has
been recently awarded for distinguished
services to astronomy. This artistic token
Of recognition, of which the Astronomical
Society of the Pacific is the trustee, was
awarded for the first time year ago.
the recipient then being Professor Simon
Newcomb of Washington. DR.. Auwers IS
a native of Gottingen and is now In MS
sixty-frst year. For some time he was
connected with the observatory of kon-
igsberg but since 1866 has been IN the
Royal Observatory of Berlin and is sec
rotary of the Academy of Sciences or tnat
city. Many years ago he received the gold
medal of the Royal Astronomical Society
of London and also the Watson medal
from the Academy of Sciences of WASH
ington. These were bestowed chiefly in
recognition of his valuable work In the
calculation of stellar positions ana mo-
TONS With tireleSs zeal he mas unraV-
eled the abstruse complexities of stellar
parallax, stardrift, and the orbits OF -dou-
BILE stars, and according to Newcomb'
who is particularly qualified to form an
estimate of his labors, is model inVest1-
gator, and in industry and precision Inc
foremost of German astronomers. Among
the important works published by AuWerS
are four volumes on the Germa~ obserVa-
lions of the transit of Venus. and the re-
reduction of Bradley's observations,
which latter has been invaluable to Strive
and other astronomers who have calcu-
lated the apex of the suns way. In gra-
cious letter of acceptance received rev
days ago DR.. Auwers expresses approval
of the method in which the selection OF a
Bruce medallist is made, and also his
qualification in sharing the honor con-
ferred previously on the eminent Ameri-
can scientist, Professor Newcomo.

CHINESE FAVORED.
A Honolulu Merchant Complains of
the Action of Commanders of
United States Vessels.

To the Editor of the San Francisco
Call-Sir: 1 would like to call your at
tention to state of affairs, which l
think is not generally known even in : s.
small city, much less on the coast. am
a constant reader of The Call, and the at
titude of that paper toward the hinese
is we'll known. One of the great obJec-
lions offered to annexation was the Chi
nese population in this country, and we
constantly hear the cry THE Chinese
Must Co. Yet every American warship
and troopship is supplied with stores by
the Chinese, to the utter exclusion OF
white traders. I, myself, have been re-
fused permission to go on board trans
port while a Chinaman walked up the
gangplank at the same time. About ten
DAYS ago, when the Morgan City ar
rived. I boarded her as soon as she came
alongside the wharf and submitted my
price list to the steward, who informed
me that the prices were lower than ne
paid last trip He took me to the cap
tain, who was also satisfied, and tod
me- as it was late, to come down the
first thing in the morning and he Would
give me the order. On going on board
in the morning 1 was informed that the
order had been handed to a Chinaman:
7 naturally felt disappointed, and asked
if his prices were lower than mine. The
steward said mo; not as low. again
called on the captain, who IN very
DompoUs manner told me, Sir, l can pat"
ronize the devil if 1 want to. If the ed
itor of The Call was in Honolulu for six
months he would see that the Chinese
are here to stay, and that his own coun-
trymen are the ones to help him NO

THE HaRBoR COMMISSION BILL

THEN Senator Dickinsons Harbor Commits
w sion bill came up for consideration on Satur-
day he submitted substitute measure de-
signed to avoid of the objections made to it in
committee The action of the Senator was we'll
enough as far as it went but it did go far enough
He would have done better to have withdrawn his
bill altogether and applied for leave file it in the
waste basket.
increasing the number of Harbor Commissioners to
FIVE which will not of itself raise up stronger argu-
ment against the proposition. 1t is doubtful whether
five would constitute efficient commission
than a smaller number but it is certain they would
draw salaries and thereby lessen the amount OF
money available for harbor purposes. Five might
have more honesty than the lesser number, but it is
equally true they might have corruption; and
while they might form stronger body to oppose the
persistence of placehunters they likely to have
friends reward and larger number of hench-
men to support.
The State of California has not only as many COM
missions but many commissioners as the taxpayers
are willing to support. A bill to increase the mem
bers any salaried commission is Just about as OBJ
jectonabe as one to create commission. In
the in the other there would be an increase
of expenditures for official salaries and to that there
is decided objection.

of Pneumonia

Captain William S. Barnes. ex-District
Attorney, has just passed through an or
deal dangerously close to dread pneumo-
mia. For forty-eight hours DR.. McGetti-
gan, the attending physician, was very
doubtful as to the result of the conges-

Fortunately the attack was less severe
than was anticipated and the captain is
now safely on the road TO recovery
DR.. McGettigan thinks all danger is
past, unless relapse occurs. Every pre-
caution will be taken to insure GONZALES

such that pneumonia would almost GER
tainly prove fatal
