The most powerful tugbOat in the
world is now anchored in the Honolu-
lu harbor, where it has been ordered
to be stationed permanently.
The L. S. tugboat IroQuois arrived in
port quite early on Saturday morning,
making the run from San Francisco
in eight and one-half days. Had not
a serious gale been encountered sever
al hundred miles out from here, the
smart little vessel would have arrived
on the evening before. She brought
considerable mail and two days later
news.

That the wrecked schooner may turn
out to be the Emma Claudina, is feared
by some in the Kohala district. The

Honoipu, and left that port for San
Francisco on December 16. She sailed
without ballast.
Nothing has been heard or seen of
the Emma Claudina since. although
she had hardly time TO reach her des-
tination by January 19, which is the
latest date of arrivals in San Fran

Commodore George Beckley of the
Kinau stated yesterday that the Kinau
passed by the wreck. He inquired Of
some fishermen concerning it and
learned that the trunk of a man had
washed ashore. An American flag had
also been taken from the fOrecastle.
There was no freight in the schooner
or floating about the wreck.

men who have undertaken this enter

they have adopted, the prospects OF the

After visiting the colony, We pro-
ceeded to Waialua, where certain mat
ters pertaining to the police and health
departments were investigated. While
in this district, we became much i'm
pressed with the prospects for the Wal

plantation promises to become one of
the great plantations of the Islands.
The President and myself were
much pleased with the hotel being
erected at Waialua by Mr.. B. +. Dill
lingham. The published statements in
regard to this hotel have not been ex-
aggerated. The building has been most
eXcellently planned and is one of the
finest wooden structures in Hawaii. l
believe it will become very popular

From Waialua We travelled on to
kahuku, spent the night at Cecil
Browns country place at Laie and
went on through the districts of Koo-
laulOa and KoOlaupokO, calling at the
public offices and interviewing the Of
ficia1S and seeking information from
residents in regard to matters of gen
eral public interest. At certain points
it was found that the grades of the
main public highway could be much
improved. Recommendation in regard
to these matters will be made at once
The appearance of the country was

which were most gratifying. The

Of the most attractive scenery in the

Fred Clinton of the Honokaa Tele-
phone Office gives it as his opinion
that the wreck has been in there for
at least a week or more.
Deputy Sheriff Overend sent a mes
sage from Waipio to Deputy Sheriff
Lyman at Honokaa on Friday. Here
he had met one of the natives who dis
covered the wreck. This man, says the
HiIo Herald, stated that wreckage had
been washing ashore all along the coast
since the latter part of December
Some of it had drifted into Waimanu
and Waipio gulch. Two weeks ago
about one-half of one side of what ap-
peared to be a three-masted schooner
drifted into Honopue gulch and while
the men were on tie beach watching
il the needless and footless body of
man, around which sea weed was cling
ing, was washed ashore. Whether it
came from the wreck or not the natives
had no means of determining, the only
connection between the two being the
fact that they were found close to-
gether. The trunk of the man had the
appearance of having been eaten Dy

CAPT. PALMER DEAD.

A private letter received here
some days ago tells of the
death recently at Wellfieet,
Mass, of Capt. Julius A. Palmer,
who is we'll known in Honolulu.

Islands several times. He first
came to Hawaiian waters many
years ago as SupercargO of an

Next he came in 1895 as repre-
sentative of the New York
Post. His letters written on his

, The correspondence was pub

; sequences.
When LiliuOkalani went to

now come into prominent view, and a
comprehensive insight as to the future
shows that the next decade is destined
TO see a nation ascend the stepping

ment. Political questions and military
policy are now being considered only
as temporary transition elements; it is
the industrial movement that will con-
duce to settle all disturbing questions
and improve conditions everywhere.
First of all, the country needs more
laborers to work in the fields, and it
further needs feasible, definite plan
of employing on a satisfactory basis

in Cuba. The conditions that have
long prevailed on the plantations. and
which are still to be met with, are not
such as would induce European immi-
grafton. 1t is quite uncommon to find
a laboring man who can read or write.
Marriage is loosely regarded, and the
Cuban and the Spaniard alike are in
veterate gamblers. Field labor wages
average about ST. per month, an over
seer gets $50 his assistant $35. The
hours of labor are long-from in the
morning till s in the night. Labor seek

want any more public charges-it needs
the vim and muscle that built up the

Pennsylvania and Alabama.
Progressive work in Cuba for women

time to come. There are few avenues
open on the island now in which the
gentler sex can earn livelihood. None
are seen in the shops, none behind the

training for hospital service and the
organization Of a public school system
