THE HAWAIIAN LOBBY.

That Col G.. F. Little and Edgar
Caypless have presumed while in
Washington TO speak their minds be-
fore Congressional committee and
thereby tread upon the fractional pre-
serves of the family compact" has
made it necessary for an organ of our
highly esteemed government to make
the announcement that these men are
not representative. This statement Is
true, in that neither Little nor Cay
pless were formally elected to the po-
sition of official or unofficial Ielegat IS
of more than one faction of Hawaii
1t is interesting, however, when con-
sidered in its relation to the men when
the compact upholds as representative
speaking with knowledge ana author
ity, and of the further fact that the
principal charge against Little and
Caypless Is mat they are newcomers. "
The Bulletin is not prepared to en-
dorse what Col. Little and Edgar Cay
pless may say or do in Washington,
but the prompt condemnation which
they receive at the hands of the fam
lily compact brings to mind interesting
side lights on local politics and points
out the requirements newcomers"
must possess in order to be classed by
the local official circle as representa-
tive men.
Col. Little Is an American born and
reared. He came to Hawaii not many
months after the '95 revolution. He
made a good impression with the fam
lily circle. Less than three months af.
ter his arrival in Honolulu, and at the
suggestion of a prominent government
official, Little went to Hilo with the
mutually understood purpose Of Cs
tablishing himself, to be in line for tn,
appointment of circuit judge for tn,
island Of Hawaii. Little, however
showed q lack OF cooperative abllit.
and vas eventually turned down.
The fact still remains that Little
position as a newcomer did not plac
him beyond the probability of being
representative man until he becam
antaGonistic to the will of the com
pact that rules the official life of Ha
wall. Little is now in Washington t
speak for himself and the America
Settlers Association, whatever tina
may be. His expenses are not pal
from the public treasury, hence on
officials have no cause for worry O
that score. He is acting within hi
recognized rights as an American citi
zen. Though he does speak for
'rabid element" of q small town"

British Argument
for the Big Canal

London, Jan. 27-The Spectator, in
the course of an important article urg-
ing that it is entirely to the advantage
of Great Britain that the Nicaraguan
canal should be cut, urges the Govern
ment to anticipate the possibility Of
the Washington Administration rails
ing the problem of the abrogation OF
the Clayton Bulwer treaty in an Of
fensive form by voluntarily offering to
abrogate the treaty.
1--WE should thus avoid" says the
Spectator being put in a ridiculous
position by seeming unwilling to yield
to pressure when pressure was being
exerted in regard to something which
| 1t was our own interest to do. We dc
not want, in fact, to quarrel with
America over doing something which
would be greatly to the advantage OF
the British empire. II the canal is to
be made and cannot be under our con-
troll, 1t is immensely important that II
should be in the hands of strong
friendly neutral power, and, God be
thanked, there Is less fear of our be-
ing at war with America than with any
other power in the world. We don't
believe Canada would block the way
in matter concerning the welfare OF
| the whole empire"

II Is SAID at the State Department that
no IhaI conclusion has yet been reached
III the negotiations which have been in
progress between the department and the
Spanish government respecting the mi. 10
certain Of the outlying islands in the Phil
ippine archipe' ago. The department has
from the first insisted that these islands
though not specifically included I'm the
ceded territory, were actually part of the
cession. but it was not possible to resist the
courteous request of the Spanish govern
ment for a consideration of its Gains and
the ascertainment of the understandings
reached by the American members of the

RAPID TRANSIT IN GERMANY.
The Barmen and EIberfeId Suspen.
sion Railway.

Probably the first suspension railway for
the conveyance of passengers that has ever
been built is now in course of construction
through and around the cities of Barmen
and Eiberfeld, Germany, according to a
recent report to the State Department from
Consul Max Bouchsein at Barmen. The
road is constructed under the Langen pat
ent for overhead railway, and when COM
pleted will be a little over eight miles in
length.
The cars are suspended in an iron frame
work, supported by buttress piers and YER
tical iron columns. The framework sur
rounds the rail carrier in such way that
the wheels overhead cannot rise from the
rails or slip off in case of the breaking of
a fitting or other mishap. A car holds fifty
passengers, and is divided into first and
second class and smoking apartments. An
average speed of about twenty miles an
hour can be maintained. The number of
cars In a train is not limited, as each car
has its own motor. and the speed of the
train is not governed by its size. An auto
matte block system is employed by which
the cars themselves, regulate the signals.

A DETERMINED CONTEST.
The Fight Between Labor and Capital
in Austrian Coal Districts.

Austria" says Consul Hossfeld at
Trieste, in a recent report to the State De-
partment, has perhaps never witnessed a
more determined contest between labor and
capital than that which Is now in progress
In the coal districts of Bohemia, Moravia
and Silesia, where 10000 miners have for
the past six weeks been on a strike for ad-
vanced wages, shorter working days, and
redress for various minor grievances"
The consul says that the coal supply has
been almost entirely stopped by the strike,
and while no violence has yet been dis
played, the situation Is nevertheless very
serious. The scarcity of fuel, aside from
paralyZing many important industries and
causing great suffering, actually threatens
to revolutioniZe the labor market of the
empire. The strikers could not have Sc
lected a more opportune time for their
movement in view Of the coal strikes in
England and the increased demand for coal
due to the war in South Africa the grow
ing industrial development of Austria and
the unusual severity of the winter there
Some concessions have been made to the
miners. but upon the proposition Of fewer
working hours the mine owners stand firm
in denial and as the strikers are equally
obdurate. a dead lock results which. how.
ever. 1t is believed, will be broken In favor
of the men, as all concessions so far have
come from the employers.
