BEERBOHM WHEAT REVIEW.
Beerbohm's London List of Jan. saws of
the wheat trade: There is not much change
to be noted in the trade during the past
week. The American shipments continue
enormous thus relieving any anxiety regard
Ing immediate supplies, but the first-hand
stocks are found to be exceedingly small.
and buyers discover much difficulty in obtain
ing any concession. Meanwhile the position
tirely In the hands of America which last
week contributed no less than SO per cent of
the total shipments to Europe.
The stock returns from the various ports
held in first hands are extremely small small
er in fact than at any time during our rec
ords.
What are termed secondhand stocks. that
IS 10 say stocks in the hands of millers, have
lately been somewhat freely discussed. 1t is
impossible to arrive at any exact estimate
OF these stocks; all we can know Is approx-
fmately whether they have increased or de-
by studying the weekly supplies. For in
stance, In the present season since Sept
the supplies have probably exceeded the ac-
tual requirements by about 10000 quarters
cally the same as on Sept. 1; the Inference
Of course is that the surplus has gone to
swell the stocks in millers' hands.

KAISER WILHELM.

Tomorrow the Germans throughout
the world will shout "Hoch" for their
emperor in ringing accents, and will
devote the day to celebrating the for
tieth anniversary of the birth of Kai-
ser Wilhelm H. They may well feel
proud of their ruler, who, young as he
is, has impressed himself upon the
world as one of the foremost men of
his era. The Kaiser, unlike many
monarchs, shines not by the glory Of
his ministers, but by his own glory. 1t
is not he that follows the advice of
men skilled in political life and diplo-
macy, but he that is the initiator of
policy and the handspring which guides
diplomacy.
.e Whatever may be criticized in the
Kaiser's acts, everything that he does
and has done, is actuated by the very
highest motives. AS a ruler he takes
himself more seriously than any reign
ing monarch. There is no doubt of his
earnest devotion to his people, though
he may rule with a rod of iron, yet his
object is to advance his nation in its
material prosperity, it's military and
naval power and in it's religious feel
ing.
That so strong and earnest a charac-
ter should call forth opposition is but
natural. but it is also character which
surrounds itself with devoted adher-
ents and calls forth the best patriot
ism of the people.
The Star joins with the rest of the
community in wishing Consul Hack

Fluctuations of the day.

CHINA'S FUTURE.

Lord Charles Beresford in some re-
marks at Hongkong said that it would
never be possible to improve the con-
dition of the Chinese Imperial finan-
ces until there was an organized army
to enforce the policy of the govern
ment. He pointed out, as a case in
point, Egypt, where all attempts at
financial reform had failed till the gov
eminent had a force of it's own.
The reform of the finances in China
argued Lord Charles, would lead to
considerable disturbances, and no
doubt such would be the case But the
management of China and the man
agement of Egypt are two very differ
ent things. In Egypt, Great Britain
had practically to get the better of one
European power in order to get the up
per hand, and then organize and car
ry out a policy untrammeled. In Chi
ma there are the conflicting interests
of the old and new worlds.
That the Chinaman can be drilled in
to a good soldier, there is no doubt.
Gordon proved that when he put down
the Tapping rebellion. That it would
not be difficult to create a Chinese ar
my there is also no doubt, but who are
to be the creators of it is quite another
proposition. OF course Lord Charles
Beresford is speaking from the Eng
lsh point of view. His solution of the
difficulties in China is an alliance be-
tween the United States, Germany, ia
pan and Great Britain. This if carried
out would be enormously strong and
both the Chinese army and the Chi
nese navy could be organized by effici-
ent officers frorc those countries, if
jealousy could be avoided. The ques-
ton Is could jealousy be avoided. If
Lord Charles Beresford's visit to the
East does nothing else, it will make
the statesmen of two hemispheres
| think.

Our postal authorities have had a
hard row to hoe of late and have been
frequently obliged to work overtime.
But even in large postofices, organized
to handle large masses OF mail matter
there is a tremendous rush sometimes,
At Liverpool during Christmas time
the employees had to work for twenty
four, and even thirty-six hours, at a
stretch in order to cope with the rush.
On Christmas eve more than 1000 bags
arrived by the Atlantic steamers alone.
The sales of stamps during Christmas
week amounted to $4,000 for Liverpool
only. The same story of increased de-
mands on the postofiices comes from
all over the world. With the establish
ment of the penny postage between
Great Britain and her colonies the in
crease in correspondence will be very
great For where a larger rate was
charged people did not care to write

GROWTH.

The improvements which are being
made in Honolulu are marvellous. We
who live in the city and see it's gradu-
al growth hardly realize how fast it
is increasing, but it is "a fact that
strikes any one who has been absent
for some time.
The business portion is steadily NOV
ing away from the wharf, and now is
crossing Beretania street. The time IS
not so far distant when Beretania
street, between Emma and Nuuanu,
will be entirely given up to stores, and
they will be the crack stores of the
town, though of course King street
will always have great attraction to
many classes of traders.
This gradual recession from a har-
Dor front is the history of all seaport
towns which do a large trade Thirty
years ago there were some fine private
dwellings close to the harbor. Chief
among them was Edinboro' House, so
named because it was put at the dis
posal of the Duke of Edinboro', now
Duke of SaXe-Coburg, when he visit
ed the Island in the Galatea. 1t was
a fine roomy house, with wide veran-
das and lofty ceilings. There was
beautiful garden around it. Later the
Hon. H. A. Widemann occupied it as
his residence and some of his daugh-
ters were married from that house. Ed
inboro' house has gone and several
other residences in it's vicinity. Tn Fir
place is filed with blacksmith shops
and storehouses, and no one would
now dream of the brilliant entertain
ments that once took place in that vi
cinityoa ~
Then again there were many pri
vate houses on Fort street, bat these
have all disappeared and been replace
ed by stores. Those who occupied
them, or their descendants, have NOV
ed out on the Plains or to Waikiki. The
original stores which, replaced the
houses have pretty well all disappeared
and have been rebuilt in their turn.
The tendency of the future will be
for the stores which are now in the
lower part of Fort street to become Of
fees, while the retailers will keep on
HuONiHB up lOWdIuS DeIeldHld street.
All this will not happen in a year, but
it will happen in the earlier part of
the next century.
With the enormous increase of COM
merce which will take place even be-
fore the Nicaragua canal is cut, Hon
Olulus population will keep on increas-
ing at great pace, and it's business
will double and quadruple. We are
now, as it We're, upon the very thresh-
old Of our true prosperity. More fire.

One OF the girls here has told me
that she has made practical trial OF
her ability TO go down a rope and that
she did descend from third story win
dow without any trouble. She was not
one OF the yenturesoIne athletes,
either. and was very glad 10 hear that
she had been able to do It. II means a
great deal to undertake anything like
that when there is not the necessity
and the consequent excitement. We
learn here to climb the rope before we
go down II. and that is the most din
cult part. The girls sometimes climb
one rope and reach over to another
and go down that This comes under
the head of heavy gymnastics. and
every one does not care to take IL up.

times are able to climb the ropes at
the end OF the first season. older people

have perhaps been wearing tight
clothes and they seldom or never have
the freedom OF s1otion OF the boys. The
older people get to rope climbing by
the second season. but the seasons for
most of them are short. Rope climb
ing is an excellent exercise to develop
the muscles OF the chest. II II is prop
erly done. but there Is great differ
ence. You see. some people use the
arms and you will see that they do 1t
in a way which contracts the chest
and which is consequently detrimental.
Swinging by the rings is on the same
principle aud may be done well or bad
ly. as the chest is or is not contracted.
The chest and upper arms are chiefly
developed by these exercises, and of
course the lower arm muscles to some
extent. The beginner takes practice
