COURT OF CLAIMS MIDDLE.

The action of the Council of State in
tabling the appropriation bill which
provided for the expenses of the Court
of Claims will probably dissolve that
body. BY a two-thirds vote tho bill
could be taken from the table, but as
the motion to put it there was unani-
nous, the chances of rescue may be
considered nil. Rumor has it that one
o. two members of the Court are will
ing to serve without compensation,
but the whole Court is not-one mem
Der having already resigned-and
clerks, stenographers and pleaders
must be paid. Hence the conclusion
that the Court of Claims, as at present
constituted, is done for.
What next? Mr.. Achi's motion, now
before the Council of State, is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Council OF State that the Executive or
ders of the President, published in re-
gard to the Court of Claims, are un-
fair and unjust and must be changed
This resolution was to have been
discussed yesterday but it was not
reached. 1t may be expected to come
up at any time. Should it pass, the
way would seem to be prepared for
the Executive to begin all over again,
issuing a new set of instructions and
appointing a Court with the compost
ton of which the Council of State
could be satisfied.

SPRECKELSVILLE LETTER.
Advices From the Advertisers Reg
ular Correspondent.

MAUI, March 31.-The thirty-acre
field of cane burned in the latest fire al
the Spreckelsville plantation was locat-
ed near the mill. Report has it that the
misfortune was caused by sparks from
a locomotive. Since the second fire Ha-
makuapoko mill in addition to Paia is
assisting the Spreckelsville mill in
grinding the damaged cane. At first ii
was thought that the loss from the big
fife would be considerable one, but
now 1t is stated that nearly all the
burnt cane will be ground and the loss
trihing one. The three mills should
grind at least 800 tons per every twenty
four hours. At that rate the estimated
5000 tons could be ground within three
weeks, by working night as well as day
and during Sundays. The greatest diff
ficulty the plantation management has
TO contend with Is to furnish sufficient
means of transportation from the fields
to the mills. Eighteen bullock carts
have been hired in upper Makawao and
kula to aid In this purpose. Spreckels-
Vile mill Is now turning out $50 tons
per diem.
The coroner's jury in the case of Aki-
ona, the Chinaman said to have been

Judge Kaleikau.

her late colonials. The most unpopu-

HAWAIIAN SHIP REGISTRY.

There will be little sympathy felt in
California for the San Francisco pilots
who are trying to keep Hawaiian ships
out of American registry so as to line
their pockets with Hawaiian fees. The
San Francisco pilots, by common dec
laration of the California business
men and newspapers, have been fatten-
ing far too long on their peculiar arts
of piracy; and anything calculated to
cut their incomes will be hailed as re-
tributive justice. The moment these
licensed buccaneers began to work
against Hawaiian shipping they rails
ed up powerful friends in its behalf;
and these, we assume, will be quick to
sustain the hands of Senator Perkins,
who Is sponsor for the shipping amend
ment to the Cullom bill of which the
pilots complain.
There are twenty authorized pilots
in the employ of the State at San
Francisco who collect for services,
rendered and unrendered, about $780,
900 per annum, or an average of $lO,-
900 apiece, about 40 per cent of which
they keep. For bringing vessel into
port they are entitled to full legal fees,
although they take the option OF CIV
ing rebates to particular owners and
companies, whose aid they desire in
enabling them to maintain their mo-
nopoly; while they collect half-fees
from all vessels that enter or leave the
harbor without pilots. OF these
amounts they retain, as salaried com
pensation after rebates and expenses
have been paid, the sum of $79,7l7, or
$329SS per month per capita. When
it is understood that the master of a
coasting vessel, who must earn all he
gets, Is never paid more than $l25 n
month, the good thing the pilots
have is easily seen. They also have
the right to sell their jobs to Other
qualified men and often get from $4,000
to $4,000 for them.
For years the business men of San
Francisco have been at war with
obese pilots because of the commerce
their extraordinary charges drive
elsewhere. 1t has been pointed out
time and again that tugboat captains,
who know the harbor as well as the
pilots, could combine towing and pilot
age in one moderate bill. The insur-
ance men are willing that they should
and they make no difference in rates
between vessels which hire pilots and
those which do not During several
legislative sessions the business men
of San Francisco have tried TO cut
down the pilotage expenses seventy
five per cent, but the pilots hired a
powerful lobby and by working on
rural members defeated them.
We make these facts clear simply to
show that the friends of the Perkins
amendment have nothing to fear from
the avaricious sea-guides Of the Gold
en- Gate. The pilots cannot run Con-
gress rs they do the California Legis-
.ature; before the national body the
San Francisco and Hawaiian CONNER
cial interests will get first hearing.
And furthermore, If Hawaii is admit
ted as Territory, 1t will be difficult
TO exclude any property under the Ha-
waiian nag, whether aiioat or ashore,
from the benefits of American law.

The strength of Queen Victoria is not
quite great enough to permit her to
visit Australia, but she has gone to
Ireland In quite youthful and jocund
spirit. Evidently, since the British vic
tories, her physical condition has i'm
proved. She says, among other spright-
ly things. that she does not intend to
let Mr.. Kruger kill her For a wom-
an of her age the way she bears up
under the weight of public affairs and
cheerfuliy goes about taking part in
oppressive public functions, is one Of
her many titles to historical eminence.

According to Professor Lyons the
growing scarcity of arteslan water is
due in part to the prodigal use of it by
rice plantation Cinnamon. What water
they draw from wells on this Island,
and which evaporates, would I'LL a
reservoir twenty feet deep and n
quarter of a mile across. With our
growth in population 1t may become
necessary TO conserve the artesian sup
ply by limiting the area OF rice and
taro patches-a proceeding which
might be legally carried out under the
powers OF the Board OF Health TO
abate dlsease-breeding spots, the rice
and taro swamps being recognized
sources of malaria. Such a policy
would not only prevent drouths at the
drinking fountain but would abate the
mosquito pest. The unpleasant feat
ure of 1t is. OF course, the effect upon
the supply and price OF staples which
are in great demand.

The Queens message to the widow OF
General Joubert and the honors paid to
the memory OF the old warrior by Lord
Roberts and Rudyard Kipling are tact
full measures to soften the asperities
OF the war. Their effect will be what
is desired If they convince the Beers
that there Is no element of personal
hostility among the British against
the "embattled farmers" OF the Trans
vaal and that fair play may easily fol-
low peace.

The Court of Claims will be held in
a state OF suspended animation until
the Council of State makes up its mind
what to do about 1t. This policy sets
aside Mr.. Magoon's generous proposal
to pay the expenses of the Court and
leaves claimants out in the cold. How
long the latter will stay there amicably
presents an interesting and by no
means easy problem.

The statement that more fever oc-
ours in the artesian district than in
the area supplied by Nuuanu valley
reservoir surface water, does not nee
essarily reflect upon the quality of the
flowing well supply. 1t is more likely
due to the fact that the artesian dis
trict is closer to the rice swamps
where so much malarial and other fe-
yer has its origin. When we get rid
of these great quagmlres which are
alternately flooded or exposed, rotting,
to the sun, the spectre of malaria will
cease to go with the well-borer on his
rounds.

Grover Cleveland has resumed his
devotion to the Nicaragua canal. His
last message and the two before that
said nothing about the canal, owing,
possibly. to the hard times and the
national deficits caused by his low tar
if Act. which made public economy in
dispensable. But Cleyeland's heart
was true to Poll, and now that the sun
of Republican prosperity has thawed
the financial ice, he is out for the canal
in characteristic phrase. But he does
not want It fortified, Mr.. Cleveland
has made up his mind that the repub-
lie has a mission of "altruism"-a
word he scribb.es lovingly more than
once-and that an unfortified canal
would be altruistic in high degree.

Complaints About Poor

The Latest Cane Fire at SpreckeIs-
vile - An Incipient Famine.
Waikiki Water Works.

The following are extracts from the
Maui News:
over a week has elapsed since Maui
has received a mail from Honolulu
once before the News had to refer TO
the matter editorially and ask for
more efficient mail service. III the In
ter-island boats cannot perform the re-
quired service, perhaps the Malolo
could be secured. The mullett don't
bite any more like they did last fall at
Molokai. and those that do bite didn't
have opium in their mouths. 1t Is said
that the owners of the Malolo have Of
fered to sell her to the government and
perhaps 1t would be good idea to buy
her and set her to the task of carrying
the mails.
Not Jealous Of Honolulu.
The government has appropriated
81, 1925, 672 for public needs in Honolulu
and 1900 for Hilo. The Advertiser
points out the discrepancy and gen
erously pleads for Hilo
The News wishes to join in this plea.
SO far as Hilo is concerned. because
II possible more should be given to Hilo
for her immediate needs. But the News
would seriously regret to see one dollar
taken off of the Honolulu appropria-
ton. Every cent which was voted is
needed to make Honolulu what she
should be. the gate city, the garden city
and the pride of the Hawaiian Islands.
Waikiki Water Works.
Practically all the pipe for the Wal
luku waterworks has been strung, and
the ditch is dug from the starting point
at the intersection of Main street and
Cemetery avenue for about two miles
up lao valley. Pipe laying began
thursday morning and has been COM
pleted from the starting point to the
proposed reservoir site. Over sixty men
nave been at work this week, and more
would have been employed if tools
could have been secured.
Beef for Lahaina.
w. DecOto of Lahaina was over at
Wailuku the early part of the week to
secure beef for the hungry Lahaina peo-
pie. 1t seems that they have had reg
ular Ladysmith of time at LahaIna,
owing to the fact that the kula potatoes
were tabu. Mr.. Decoto was accom-
panied by his wife, and of course they

 Ours is the only Parliament in Europe where members sit with their hats on. The proportion of these is, however, not 50 great as might be inferred from the scene in the Drury Lane production. The cus- tom Is an old one, for in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the doffing of the headgear was by no means considered a sign of respect, either in England or on the continent There are extant old en- cravings showing Louis XIV presiding at d council of his ministers, all of whom are covered except the sovereign himself The stovepipes of our legislators very often serve a double debt to pay. They keep their wearers from catching cold, and, On the other hand, by being left in the seats they occupy. secure their places for them, a result not to be despsed on the oeea- sions of great debatcrs.
