The ARCHAEOLOGICAL committee Oh
Chinatown soil are awaiting the renort
of DR.. Hoffman, on samples. Upon
that their recommendation to the
Board of Health will depend as to
whether Chinatown should be opened
forthwith to rebuilding. II Is not
thought for moment that the Board
has power, outside Of the question OF
infection, to hold the land DOWN.
However great the public desire to
have rebuilding postponed until the
Legislature could establish now street
lines and remodel fire limits, the Board
has really nothing to do with those
things no matter II they are Indirectly
related to sanitation. A member of
the Board, who explains the situation
in the sense just expressed, adds that
another moving consideration Is the
fact that new Chinatown Is rising In
patches all over the city area. The
quickest check 10 this process would be
10 open up the old Chinatown site,

Lahore, Punjaub; April 17.--That
Great Brita!n's attitude towards AZ
ghanistan in regard to Russian designs
on Herat, does not meet with approval
at Cabul (the capital Of Afghanistan) Is
proved by an autograph letter publish
ed with the Ameer's consent, in which,
after referring to the various rumors,
he adds:
Now when Afghanistan is over
whelmed on all sides, the British Gov
eminent does not seem to take any in
terest but enjoys the pride of aloof-
ness and reserve. Whenever ! have
suggested check to Russian aggres-
sion, / have had no response from the
Government Of India, except the sug-
gestion that Afghanistan might con-
sent to the construction of railways
and Telegraphs. This is impossible, as
the Afgbans consider that such step
would mean their ruin. Notwithstand-
Ing all these troubles have proved for
the past twenty-one years, the firm
ally OF Great Britain. But now at the
last moment, must inform my power
full ally, the Government OF India, that
the present Is the time for deeds and
not talk"

Thursday, April 26.
As an outcome of the matter the viii
der and Inter-Island steamship COM
panies as the principal factors, and the
main business houses of Honolulu,
have decided to form corporation for
the control Of the towage business of
the port.
As yet there have been no meetings
for the formation of the company So
that practically, the whole scheme is
in the air, but like the showers during
the present month, 1t is sure to descend
and become a reality.
One of the principal men in the
movement had the following to say to-
day:
'Of course, IL we find that the gov
eminent can still retain the towage
business of this port without an in
fringement of the law, we will very
probably drop quietly out of the
scheme we now have on hand. II, hLw-
ever, 1t should be as we have contend
ed, we will proceed rapidly with the
formation Of the company. Tugs will
be ordered and all arrangements made.
No doubt the proposition will be
paying one and We will not only
make a little out OF II but we VIII as
sure ourselves of good work with no
more dilatory tactics"
Something over fortnight ago the
Council of State passed an approprja-
ton of $4,000 for the purchase of a
new tug boat for this port. There was
much debate when the proposed item
was read, several of the members OBJ
jecting strenuously to its passage on
the ground that the United States laws
governing territories mentioned spect.
fically that the government should not
operate the towage business as is the
case In Honolulu today. To pass the
item would be to appropriate money for
a purpose forbidden by law.
The matter was looked up but the
men who made the objection could nor
put their finger on the law although
they had no doubt as to it's existence.
The item was passed

PRINCE CEUN. PRINCE KUNG.
Father of Kwang Sui 1.-THE man at the helm
from 1859 to 1884,
Prince Kung was for years the real
master at Peking He was president
of the tsung-li-yamen and handled the
reins during the wars with France and
England as we'll as during the great re-
bellion Of the Taipings and Mohamme-
dams In order to give him greater,
power the imperial council of state was
degraded and two obnoxious princes
beheaded.
Prince Kung retired in 1884, but up
to that time he was the executive head
of the Chinese empire, while Ii Hung
Chang was it's strong right arm. Hav-
ing imperial rank and residing in the
exclusive court, he was little known to
foreigners. During the "a years of his
premiership there was an emperor on
the throne but four, so that the prince
was virtually monarch of the realm.
His foreign policy was defensive one,
but he avoided collisions like the pres
ent by diplomacy which was never
equaled. He was all things to all men
and did mt hesitate to announce
through his agents that he had no love
for the foreigner, but granted conces-
sions through fearfof the consequences
of antagonism. He was reformer in
educational matters, and one of his
first acts was to recommend the found
ing of a college for the teaching OF
western sciences.
I1ysy,o 1,a fot1 -
ent emperor was a man with less force
of character than his brother Kung.
His influence, however. was given to
the reforms which Kwang Su inaugu-
rated after his accession to full control
In fact, Prince Chun was, with re-
spect to the emperor whenever Kwang
Su acted on his own impulses, what
Prince Kung was to the dowager en-
press during the regencies, the power
behind the throne. But wanting the
tact Of Kung he stirred up opposition,
and every step forward was followed
by reaction.
The princes of the house of Mant-
choo hold imperial rank down to the
seventh generation, when they become
commoners. They inherit military tall
ent, as do all the powerful Mantchoo
courtiers, from their Tartar ancestors,
but in naval matters are weak, since
they know nothing of the sea. AL
though holding sway as conquerors,
their rule has been conciliatory, and
they have fostered Chinese institutions
rather than imposed their own The
love of learning among the Celestials
has been encouraged to the extent that
Mantchoo emperors and princes have
! become authors and patrons of Chinese
literature.
In general no discrimination is made
by the rulers between Chinese and
Mantchoo subjects, and the Chinese
officeholders far outnumber the Mant-
choo. Ill feeling on the part Of the
Chinese toward the ruling family never
takes the form of hatred of Mantchoo
blood. Good emperors and bad stand
or fall on their merits as just rulers.
| bad emperor in China has no claim
to the respect of his subjects.
