PREPARATIONS FOR oTBEIr.o.

The scenic artist is now at work
in the Opera House on the new
scenery for Othello. Two drop cur
tains are in baud both Of which are
very clever productions of scenic
art. One in particular seascape Of
the coast of Cyprus with a storm
lowering in the distance is very
striking and clever piece of work.
Several minor pieces and effects
are also in hand all of which will
tend to make tho performances a
memorable one. A private glimpse
OF the new costumes for Othello
reveals some very elaborate de.
signs in rich brocades and vslvete.
Object 10 IA Change.
Some of the residents Of Beck
with street are objecing very
strenuously to the proposed change
of the name Of that street. to Will
der avenue. They say they have
known the thoroughfare by the
name of Beckwith so long that
they would hardly know how to
get along with different name.
Besides that the land out of which
the street was made was given to
the Government by Oahu College
and Mr.. Beckwitb, after whom the
street was named, was the first
president OF that institution.

PREPARING TO SAIL.
Washington April 15-The instructions to the
American delegates to the Cars Disarmament
Congress are in the hands Of the President. ana
they will be communicated to Messrs. White,
Low and Newell and Captains Mahan ana
Crozier at early day. There will be no con-
certed meeting Of the delegates on this side the
only purpose being TO arrive at The Hague on
or about May IS Captain Crozier. the military
expert the delegation, Is preparing to sail
some time next week Seth Low will probably
come over from New-York to confer with the
President and Secretary Hay before sailing
Captain Mahan is In New-York. and may go on
with Captain Crozier next week. Messrs. White
and Newell are already near the scene OF the
Congress.
In respect 1T Is said In official quarters
that the Congress may achieve results Of far-
reaching character, although not in full realiza-
ton Of the plan Of disarmament This VIII be
In the line Of amelioratng the horrors OF war;
doing away with the needless suffering ana
manning which some missiles Of warfare occa-
sion. and in general placing warfare on as hu-
name a basis IL consistent with military ana
strategic usages. This plan is said to De apart
from any sentimental idea. and to be based on
strict military considerations.
One of the American delegates said to-day as
Indicating the scope Of this line or action. tha'
tentative plans had been put forward for doing
away with torpedoes In naval warfare: also Tor
abandoning rams on warships. and for the use
of no explosive shells below five pounds. the
abandonment Of torpedOes and rams would
probably arouse much opposition from naVai
quarters on theg round that IT was utopian ana
sentimental 1t Is advocated on the theory that
the torpedo and ram cause wholesale destruc-
tion Of life and property killing and manning
hundreds at a single shock. and that this loss
Is out OF all proportion to the military adVan-
tages secured amounting to wanton destruc-
ton The restriction explosive shells ana
bullets already exists up to one pound, but the
tentative plan is to make this limit five pounds
The change Is based on the theory that the three
and four pound explosive shells cause whole
sale destruction and that the pieces OF the shell
cause wounds similar TO those made by spread
ing bullets which needlessly tear the flesh and
cause intense suffering. In many ways civilized
nations already have recognized the needs or
mitigating the horrors Of war. The Geneva Con-
ference brought about many OF these humane
understandings and It Is felt that the Cars
Congress may still further carry forward this
humane work.
