SAILORS HOME MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Sailors
Home Society was held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms this forenoon with
Vice President John Ena in the chair
The executive committee reported
having visited the Sailors Home and
found the place slightly improved. The
matter of change in management had
been left over until the return Of ]. B.
Atherton on account of statement
made by M. T. Bluxom that he had
been in charge of the place for five
years or since the time of j. b. Ather-
ton was chairman of the Executive
Committee.
The treasurers report showed p
balance of $3.50 due the treasurer and
bills amounting to $92 yet to be pad.
Report approved.
The same Trustees, with the excep.
ton of w. M. Giffard were elected. Mr..
Giffard was put in w. G. Twins place.
The application of Turk & Lewis for
the management of the Sailors Home
was referred to the executive commit
tee in whose hands everything in con-
nection with the management has
been left. 1t Is known that change
in management has been contemplated
for some time past.

NORTHERN ROUTE ADVANTAGE

/ The Tacoma Ledger says: THE adj
vantages OF the northern rodte for
transports between this country and
the Orient have been demonstrated by
practice"
Very true. The most recent demon
STATIONS were the incidents that befell
the animal transports Fort Stephens,
Garonne and Victoria. After laboring
in terrible storm till threatened with
the loss Of all the stock Oh board, IL
not the ship. the Fort Stephens and
Garonne laid their course for Homo
lulu and experienced comfortable
trip after leaving the northern route.
The Victoria held to the northern
route and finally put back to port with
cargo seriously depleted by death
and serious injuries. Finally the Vic
toria laid her course via Honolulu and
not a horse was lost. This demon
stration of the northern route by
practice is not of nature to gain
marked favor for the course that leaves
Honolulu out of its pathway.
Gains made in distance by the north
erly course are more than overbalanced
by the dangers Of severe weather likely
to be encountered at am time of the
year. The Honolulu route as demon
strated by years Of practice in mer-
chant marine offers guarantee Of
safety to life and property that can.
not be discounted by any other sclu.
ton of the problem that works out well
on paper.

cane as well as the climate Of the short
distance line to the Orient they will
be forced to admit n sups, iovity for the
Southern route that finds favor in the
deliberations of cable builders as well
as practice in the tran sport service.
A Pacific cable following the sinuosi-
ties of the bleak Alaska coast would
guarantee a maximum amount of work
for repairs and be practically useless to
the United States in time Of war when
operations of contending fleets would be
centered largely from Hawaii. Until
the United States has connected its
mid-Paciflc possessions, the Tacom1
citizens will have to doff their hats to
Honolulu and San Francisco.

Few people in Hawaii, and those
few center their hopes IN what Agent
Hartwell can accomplish, have anti
cipated that Sam Parker and Prince
David would make other than IA favor
able impression in Washington.
Sandwiched in with numerous dubious
forebodings concerning the future, it IS
hard to determine whether Mr.. Hart
well meant this paragraph to be the
one bright glimmer of hope or a part
of the dark cloud presaging defeat Of
local government ideals. Sam Parker
and Prince David will assuredly sup
port liberal American plans for Ha-
wall. We trust the personal agent has
been instructed to take a position on
the same platform.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1899-12-30

For fear American built vessels will
monopolize the trade of the new pos
sessions" is the manner in which Mr..
Hartwell is quoted, in speaking of op.
position to the extension of American
shipping laws to Hawaii. Who on
earth should monopolike the trade of
the new possessions If not American
shippers? If it were not generally
known that the principles espoused by
our local chief Executive are those of
free trade Democracy, the Republicans
would have more confidence in the eff
forts of the special agent" When a
mans heart and soul is not i'm sympa-
thy with the principle II is uphill work
to look on the bright side Of the policy

Butler Lost His Gums.

New York, Dec. PA dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
Little credence is placed in the re-
port that the guns lost by the British
were not captured by the Beers. Had
the story been true General Butler
must have referred to 1t.
Sir Redvers' artillery cannot now
muster much more than 30 guns, while
the captured British weapons have no
doubt been mounted in the Boer lines
and can be used. since the ammunition
wagons seem to have been lost with
them.
