The acquisition o. the New York Gas and

Consolidated Gas Company OF New York is
considered to be Of the utmost importance

people on the one side and the Whitney
Elkins-Widener syndicate on the other.
The Standard Oil people have won, as it
was believed they must two weeks or more

THE ADVERTISER.

Forty -four years ago to-day the Ad-
vertiser was issued for the first time.
The germ idea of the paper had been
brought here by IA. NJ. Whitney, who
had been employed for some years in
Printing House Square. New York, and
had taken his friend Horace Greeley's
advice to go West. California was not
far enough West for MIR. Whitney and
re Nentured 10 Honolulu where he
found the white population eager for a
weekly newspaper. the old Polynesian
having become a mere scrap book of
essays and sermons. Mr.. Whitney had
been an admirer of the New York Com
merciaI Advertiser and when he con-
cluded to start n weekly he called il
after that dignified and prosperous
Journal. How well the venture sue
ceeded time has told. About eighteen
years ago the success of the weekly
made the daily possible, the absorption
Of the famous old Gazette followed. and
now the Pacific Commercial Advertiser
is a larger and in many respects a
costlier paper than was the New York
Commercial Advertiser in 1856. Forty
four years ago this Office had not to
exceed ten men or its payroll; now it
has about seventy-five in its various
departments and a chance for more.
OF the original presentEnent Of the Adj
vertiser nothing remains but the Wig
nette in the headline which Mr.. Whit
ney himself drew from the masthead of
the vessel which brought him here;
though the imprint of the founders
personal character has never been lost

crude idols Of the day.
The ruling influence OF the axe was that
Of tabu. Even the kings and chiefs were
not exempt from its power. and so many
were its ramincations that the daily life

III. Rothstein. the Russian financial
agent who Is now visiting the United
states. says Russia does not want a
rod OF Chinese soil. Perhaps this is on
the principle that a man who has just
finished a hearty meal desires nothing
more 10 eat. Russia has practically
annexed the LiaOtung peninsula with
its ports of Talien-wan and Port Ar
thur and it's interior city OF Kinchow:
her control of the rest of Manchuria is
hardly disputed. That this is enough
for the present at least. may well be
conceded.
