WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-From a
source close to Senator Morgan it is
learned that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
is practically certain of passage. This
view is also entertained by Senator
Perkins. who said tonight that ne be-
lieved the treaty would be ratified.
"The only thing to fear" said Sena-

may amend the treaty. while 1T requires
a two-thirds vote to ratify it. 1t is

Last evenings reception to President
and Mrs. Smith of Oahu College was
a notable event. From the number and
representative character, of the people
present it was evident how important
the institution is regarded by our people
and how anxious they were to show
kindly feeling towards the new read.
In Oahu College we have probably the
germ of the future University of the
Territory of. Hawaii: though if it is to
expand into this it will have to broad
en- it's lines and change it's character
very much. However, as it is, it is a
very important educational institution,
and no doubt under the guidance of DR..
Smith it will continue the excellent ira
dition of the past, while advancing up
on a newer or perhaps a more pro-
gressive course.

A GREAT SCHEME.

The question OF granting water priv
ileges is a very serious one, and should
be most carefully considered before
action is taken. The tying up of wa
ter supply though perfectly justifable
at present, apparently, may prove I'M
justifiable in the future. It may put
power into the hands Of, private parties
or a corporation which may be misused,
or used to get an unfair advantage.
The Governor has under considera-
ton a proposition from the Waialua
Sugar CompalX,, and the .colonists on
the Wahiawa tract for storing water in
the north branch of the Kaukunohua
stream. The. idea is to build a dam
across the stream which will hold back
the water. The company is prepared
to spend up to $25O,OO0 upon the work.
Were there anumbeF of private lands
or kuleanas along the lower part of
the stream the scheme would be very
difficult to carry out. because by dam
ming the north branch the volume of
water running down the bed would be
materially lessened and there would be
injuryto the occupants. But there are
now no such rights or .kuleanas. The
plantation has bought them all up.
The colonists will be materially bene-
fitted, for water far in excess of what
they have hitherto had will be brought
upon their lands and they could never,
, of themselves, undertake the costly i'm
provement which the Waialua Sugar
Company proposes to undertake.
Naturally the question Of the forest
comes up 1t is evidently a matter of
self interest for both the. settlers and
the plantation to preserve the forest.
for upon it's preservation depends the

A DANGER.

A Frankfort newspaper calls atten-
ton to the fact that for some time past,
certain kinds of silver mounted glass
and porcelain wares, such as cups,
glasses, jars, vases, etc, have been
placed Upon the market. The silver on
these articles is applied by means of
galvanoplastic process, in baths
which contain very large quantities of
potassium cyanide. AS glazed wares
have innumerable hairlike cracks, this
deadly poison enters these cracks; and
the articles, beautiful to look at, be-
come a severe menace to the health of
anybody using or handling them, es-
pecially as it is impossible in the course
OF manufacture to remove this poiso-
nous residuum.
Only a short time ago, a very severe
case of poisoning resulted from the use
of such ware.
Upon this subject Consul Walter
Schuman OF Mainz writes:
II have spoken with a member of the
firm of Martin Mayer, the largest man
ufacturers and exporters of jewelry in
this consular district, in order to as
certain the accuracy of the foregoing
assertions. 1 was informed that the
statements were perfectly true and the
danger lurking in these articles was not
in the least exaggerated. My informant
said that his firm refuses to manufac-
ture these wares on account of the
danger to the workmen, as we'll as to
anyone using the goods.
II am told that these goods are chief
ly exported to the United States from
Frankfort, Berlin, and Stuttgart.
1T might be well for the public to be.
informed OF the danger in these goods,
and steps might be taken to prohibit

TWO POINTS OF VIEW.

The Chinese question as viewed in
Berlin and as seen in Washington pre-
sents an entirely different aspect. The
Germans are smarting, and justly, be-
cause of the unavenged death of their
Minister and the murder of many mis-
sionaries. The Germans want to teach
the Chinese a lesson that they will not
forget for centuries. The Emperor,
voicing the feelings of his people, has
demanded that the ringleaders who
melted the crowd against foreigners
should be given up before any diplo-
matte steps were taken. France, Aus
tria and Italy have, it is said, agreed
with Germany in this course.
The United States, on the other hand,
does not consider that as long as a
power is to be treated with on a foot
ing of equality in negotiation, subjects
of that power should be given up to
a foreign power for punishment. The
position of the United States is per-
fectly logical and tenable one. The only
thing against it that the powers are
dealing with Chinese and not with
Western people.
The Chinese will resort to. almost
any trickery to avoid the punishment
of the guilty parties. The Chinese gov
erning classes are quite ready to punish
any of the rabble who have been en-
gagged in the attacks upon the legations.
1t is nothing to them even If
three or four thousand Boxers were be-
headed as holocaust to appease the
names of the German Ambassador and
salve the wounded honor of the West
ern nations. But the Chinese govern
ing classes will not punish the true
ringleaders, and as long as punishment
lies in their hands it will be now, what
it has been in the past, CHASTITY farce.
1t is this which, has made the German
Emperor so stern in his demand. The
Germans and other European nations
have learned by hard experience the
utter duplicity of the Celestial, than
whom none is a greater postmaster in
the art of chicane. The United States
has had no such experience and is still
treating the Chinese on the plane of
Western open minded diplomacy. The
action of the United States is noble and
above board but it is not the way to
treat the Chinese. This will be seen
in course of time.

Mr.. Desky has taken great pains for
the preservation of the song birds up
Pacific Heights. The upper slopes are
now fairly alive with larks, and there
is nothing more pleasant than to fear
the morning and evening songs of these
little Warblers. Some one recently
made the statement that there We're no
song birds, nor indeed any birds save
the mynahs in and around Honolulu.
The person certainly lacked observa-
ton. There are linnets, sparrows,
pigeons, and doves in every garden
about the city, and if one goes into the
mountains there are many more varie-
ties. In order to preserve the birds on
Pacific Heights relentless war is waged
against the mongoose, and ninety three
have been paid bounty on during the
last fortnight.

The cemetery problem remains still
unsolved though there are several pro-
jects in the field. The Board Of Health
has had to practically rescind its mo
ton with regard to having no burials
within certain limits, OF course this
was unavoidable under the circum-
stances, for corpses could not remain
unbured till cemetery site was decid-
ed upon. AS fact we do not want only
one site, but We need at least two and
probably three. The site suggested
Diamond Head way is good one, but
there ought also to be site of easy ac-
cess from the other side of the city
From the amount of vacillation and
pulling and hauling over this question,
it looks very much as If some parties
wanted to get a dead cinch on the
corpse question and have only. one Gem
etery. .,#

JAPANESE FINANCES.

1t is customary to regard Japanese
finances as on the downward grade, but
the showing made by the last financial
statement is calculated to dispel this
idea The notion has been prevalent
that the Japanese ornaments have
been increased with too great rapidity
and that this together with the adoption
of the gold basis was too great strain
upon the national resources.
According to the report for the twelve
months the total revenue was 253, 900 900
yen, the income increased &c, 900, 900 yen
and the expenditure $4,000, 900 yen. There
was a surplus of $4,000 yen. The sur
plus is of course Insignificant but 1t is
on the right side of the ledger, and
their own financially.
1t may be noted that the ordinary re-
venues, amounting to 176000,0O0 yen,
increased by no less than Al, 900 yen,
while the extraordinary revenue, repre-
senting loans or appropriations from
the Chinese war indemnity, fell off to
the extent of 100000 yen which is a
satisfactory process. 1t may also be
noted that no less than II 600, 900 yen,
included in the ordinary expenditure,
was devoted to payments on account of
the principal of Japan's national debt.
The budget is certainly calculated TO
create an excellent impression as re-
CARDS Japan's financial position, and
gives assurance that the management
of it's treasury is conducted upon pru-
dent and conservative lines with due
regard to the maintenance of the coun-
try's credit on a high plane.

The Pennsylvania coal strike has de-
veloped violencef at an earlier stage
than was expected. Strikes always
bring about violence in time, but it is
usually when the men have become sui
len from along period of idleness. 1t is
a noticeable thing that the mobs are
made az" of Galicians, Poles, Hunga-
rians and the scum of, eastern Europe.
This is class which is intensely and
hopelessly ignorant. The labor problem
in Pennsylvania is, certainly very Sc
rious one.

been those in the past whose self in

and musicians Of . high order Of sxcel-
lenoe. Mr.. Whiting, a successful teacher

teen associated with the kneizsl Quar-
tette In giving chamber music In New
York and Boston. This season Mi. Whit.
ing has the assistance Of Mr.. Myron w.
whitney, Jr. and their recitals are great
ly enjoyed. MIR. Whiting gives the pure
singing tone in his playing. A noted
q, usical critic writes; "The object OF
all teohnio should b tone. The singing
tone should be preserved in all passages
no matter how intri3ate. That is the
secret Of beauty In plano playing. When
the singing tone disappears the perform
ance becomes hard and unmusical." Mr..
Whitney, basso, has rich voice we'll de-
veloped, impressive, flexible and OF gen
erous range. He has studied under his
brother Mr.. william whitney, = noted
teacher Of Boston, and spent several years
ct udying with Vannuocini In Flore noe.

A ROUTE FOR Mr.. cARNE6iE's ROAD

If MIR. Carnegie wishes an easy line
for bis railroad to the sea board from

follow the MOnongahela to Cheat, up
Cheat to it's source. down Greenbrier
river to point opposite the we'll
known Frost Gap, III the Allegheny
mountain in POcahOntas county, W..
Va, thence east to the seaboard. The
distance by rail may be little greater
than to Baltimore or Philadelphia,
but as all freight from Baltimore must
pass out to the ocean at the mouth of
the Chesapeake bay, he will lose no
distance in sending freight abroad II
he reaches tide water on the Potomac
below Washington, or at Richmond,
or Newport News, or Norfolk. A
glance at the map will show this to be
an easy, feasible and quite direct
route, and one where he will have

NO TRUSTS.

Mr.. Hanna recently got mad in
speech making. He called Bryan a
hypocrite, and other bad names, and
in bis fury defied him to show where
there was Trust. There are no such
things as Trusts exclaimed Mr.. Hanna.
Then the whole nation smiled. The
Republican platform, Republicans
claim, declared against trusts. We do
not think it did, we think it declared
for them, but that depends on how
you read the phrase. In Congress last
winter resolution was passed to be
used as campaign document, In which
Trusts were denounced, and very
roundly denounced. Everybody knew
then as now that that resolution was
Republican trick, but it was so bold
and apparent that even Republican
effrontery, which is the worst effronte-
ry On earth, has not been sufficient to
put that resolution before the public
as campaign document. In the face
of all this, Mr.. Hanna, who sat in the
Senate day after day, and week aftel
