The arrival of the steamer Centen-

that Maui is soon to have direct steam
communication, twice month, be-

Such an arrangement has not as yet
been definitely made, but it is hoped
soon will be. To be sure Maui people

The Treasurer Of the State has called
my attention to the fact that there are a
number Of old bonds which have hitherto
been reported as fundable but which un-
der the Act OF 1893 are now no longer 80,
and among them are the bonds claimed
by the State Bank Blue Ridge Railroad
bonds OF 1850 to the amount OF f,7 900.
The Act OF 1896 referred to prohibits the
State Treasurer from funding or paying
any bonds after the expiration of twenty
years from the date Of maturity. The
bonds above mentioned matured on July
ISt, 1879, and the twenty years limitation
expired on July Ist, 1899.
These bonds, it may bc rccollected,
have been the subject of several applies
tions to the General Assembly for pern,is-
sion TO fund them without the surrender
OF the bonds themselves. One hundred
thousand dollars Of these bonds were, it
IS alleged. plundercd and taken frH..! tie

They have from that time been constantly

which obtained an injunction from the
courts as early as 1870, restraining the
Treasurer of the State from paying prin-
"lpal or interest Of any Of them to any one
but to the receiver, and under that in
ju'i' ton all Of these bonds but the thirty
seven now remaining upon The Treasur-
crS books have from time to time been
recovered by the receiver of the Bank.

the uility years since the in junction has

tl"u, and the Courts Of .hc State have de
cElcd that they are the property of the
State Bank, AMI that the receiver of the
Bank is the only person entitled to fund
and collect them from the Treasurer of
the State
The State owes these bonds to some
one, and the objection which the General
Assembly has hitherto had othe funding
ct them has been, il is understood, the
tear that some one might still produce
and present them to the Treasurer, for
tnndlnH under the funding Act of the
State, and that the State might In thia
way have to pay them twice. This OBJ
JrCtion seems now removed, rs no one but
the receiver OF the bank has tho ripht To-
ask to have them funded all other per
sons being now barred by the statutes from
applying TO the Treasurer for that purpose.
But however this may be, some action
must nov" be taken in regard TO them

That Alliance.

Administration officials are circum-
spect in discussing the statement made
by Lord Rosebery that Great Britain
in December approached the United
States and Germany in regard to the
advisablity of forming an alliance. 1t
is understood, however. that intima-
tions were conveyed to this government
by the British authorities Of their de
sire that the relations between the two
governments should be closer and In
the nature Of compact, but the ad
ministration turned deaf ear and
made it plain that the United States
could not abandon its policy OF non
ENHANCEMENT in European affairs. II
Is stated that the overtures were not
in the form of formal suggestions. but
If they had been it Is unlikely that they
would have met with a cordial response
from the president.
Considerable curiosity has been
awakened as to Lord Rosebery's rea
son for making public the fact OF Great
Britains desire to enter into an ALI
ance with the United States and Ger
many and the steps she took to thai
end. 1t is thought by some that the
statement was determined upon by tht
British cabinet as an answer to Mr.
Macrum's statement that he did moi
know that an alliance existed between
the United States and Great Britain.
