CASH RESOu RCES.

Until there is more definite intOr-
nation regarding the amount Of coin
or currency in the Islands, there can
not be any profitable discussion OF the
relation between the funds locked up
in the Treasury and the business of
the country. There Is no provision of
law which requires a return TO any
government office of the amount Of
coin held by individuals or banks. We
all know that the government coined
and partially issued Sl,0OO,OOO in sill
yer. Beyond the knowledge of this
fact there seems to be only vague spec
ulation as 10 the amount OF coin or
currency here. Minister Damon be-

A STORM STUDY.
Observations of the LightniDg's
Work Oh East Maui,

Editorial Correspondence
+. MAUI, Feb. 26th.
On Friday, after long drouth, Ha-
makuapoko was deluged with rain. At
p. m. heavy thunder shower passed
over Paia. A thunderbolt struck the
steeple of the Protestant church. It
tore some shingles from 1t, shattered
its apey and destroyed the weather
vane, but the damage was not serious
The building stands alone on the brow
of hill. No other building, no man or
beast was assaulted.
This incident profoundly moves the
social science society OF East Maui.
Why was ',nis steeple OF this church
selected for target practice by the as
trial sharpshOoters? Who is RESPONSE
BILE for m !licious mischief done by
astral tramps who let of thunderbolts
g carelessly as the earthly tramps
leave matches near barns and hay
stacks? No one suspects that any the
illogical errors have been declared from
the pulpit. Mr.. C. II. Dickey was In
the neighborhood of the church near
the time of the incident. There is no
reason in believing that the thunder
bolt was intended for him, for he IL
a citizen above reproach. II 1t was, Il
is conceded that 1t was aimed with
lie skill than is shown by even the
Filipino soldiers at Manila.
After bruising the steeple, the cloud
passed over to Spreckelsville in search
Of i,r. Lowrey who is disturbing the
peace of Maui by making things in
dustrial'y .ot over the Hawaiian Com
mercial Company's plantation. But the
storm, after taking the scalp Of the
|steeple. became harmless, and the ire
pressible superintendent was spared.
d. Beckwith's dog Ginger" barked
furiously at the storm centre immedi-
ately after the bolt was discharged.
The cloud passed of at once. It Is not
believed that the relation OF cause and
effect existed.

We repeat our remarks in Satur-

the securities of the sugar industry,
there Is no occasion for alarm. But
while we are in the clouds OF a pros
perity, due to the tariff laws OF Con-

Washington made it three straight from
the Giants by defeating them at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon by the score
of to 2. Meekin's curves were found to
exactly suit the taste of the Senators, and
they hammered the ball for thirteen safe
hits. Atherton led in this respect, getting
four hits, including two-bagger and a
triple. Freeman also showed up strong
with the stick, making three hits, besides
scoring two of the Washingtons' six runs.
Dinneen's work in the box was of high
order. He allowed the Giants only seven
hits, and these he kept scattered through
out the nine innings Washington did not
play such strong game in the field, three
errors marring their work. Fortunately,
the misplays did not come in bunch, and
consequently did not have much effect on
the score of the Giants.
Today the Senators will play the Orioles
at Baltimore. and tomorrow the two teams
