The enemy. strongly cntrenched. held IA
range OF hills commanding both sides

train on Friday. The Beers shelled the

column made Il detour and bivouacked
for the night at Swink's Pan, three
miles from the Boer position.
AT dawn the advance began, the
guards forming the reserve The col
umn debouched on the plain eastward
of the Boer kopjes. The Boer guns
opened fire. Two batteries of British
artillery posted ON each side shelled the
Beers, practice being good on both
sides.
The Beers stuck tenaciously to their
positions. firing steadily and accurate
ly. The duel. which constantly became
hotter. lasted three hours. The Boer
shells wounded several men of the ma.
val brigade.
Finding 1t impossible to displncc the
Beers by artillery, General Methuen
resolved upon an infantry attack. A
brigade of infantry, including the York
shires. the Northamptons. the North
umberlands and the Lancashircs. with
the naval brigade on the right. gallant

OUR NEED AT WASHINGTON.

In it's news columns The Star today
publishes an interview with Senator
Clark of Wyoming on Hawaiian repre-
sentation in Washington while Hawai-
ian matters are before Congress. Sen
ator Clark suggests that a representa-
tive of the government as distinct from
that of the people might be misunder-
stood in Washington. The distinction
would be pertinent if there were any
intention to send a government instead
of a peoples representative. But there
is not. Senator Clark points out very
clearly that Hawaii has nothing to fear
from the spirit or intentions of Con-
gress, but only that through want of
information Congress may fail to carry
out in all particulars it's own intentions
and the wishes of the people of Hawaii.
1t is to meet the very need he suggests
that it is proposed to send a man to
represent the people; one who has ac-
curate and full information on all sub
jeCts relating to Hawaii; who can an
swer all questions Congressman or
committees may ask; who can be in
fact an aid to Congress and Congress-
men in doing what it is their intention
to do. In the selection of this represen-
tative the one generally believed to
have been chosen commands the re-
spect of the entire people of Hawaii
and has the qualifications Senator
Clark suggests as requisite, in a pre-
eminent degree. OF the last thirty
years of Hawaiian history, Ex-Attor-
ney-General w. o. Smith can say with

AMATEUR SPORT.

1t is pleasing to note the deep and
general interest that is taken in tomor-
rows boat races. The annual rowing
regatta is one of the strictly amateur
sporting events of the Islands, Condi-
lions in the past have been such here
as not to require that strict and techni-
cal distinction between amateurs and
professionals that has been found neces-
sary in the states for the protection of
amateur sports. But there is no doubt
that for the encouragement and davel-
opment of amateur sport the distinction
between amateurs and professionals
must be more and more strictly drawn.
Caspar Whitney who has probably done
more for amateur sport in the states
than any other one individual or influ-
ence, expressed surprise when he was
here year ago that the distinction was
not more clearly drawn. And while he
admitted that there was not the same
necessity for it that there is in the
states he urged among acquaintance
in the interest of amateur sport that in
creasing care should be used 1t de-
notes healthy state of public opinion
that the one event of the whole year in
which the most general and widespread
interest is taken, Is an amateur event
in which there has never been the faint
or suspicion of professionalism. 1t may
be that the time has arrived when there
should be an organization devoted to
fostering the true amateur spirit in
sport in the Islands. Such an organi-
cation might very properly be composed
of representatives from the various or
CARNATIONS now existing which have
charge of strictly amateur events.
Among these may be mentioned the
Rowing Association, the Football As
ISOLATION and the Cricket organizations.

The attitude of the administration to-
ward Porto Rico as disclosed in late dis
patches announcing consideration of
plan to give the island local self-govern-
ment and free trade with the United
States is another evidence of the dis
position in the United States to make
newly acquired territory Just as thor
oughly American as it is capable of be-
ing. There is much of encouragement
in this for Hawaii. For we know and
the American people are rapidly com
ing to know that Hawaii is thoroughly
American. Hence we can expect Con-
gress to deal with us in the same spirit
it would if it were legislating for any
other section of the American people.
