Promises Not Sincere.

It Is true that all Of the powers SUBJ
scribed u more or less reluctant assent
to such proposals as look to the pre-
vention OF the partition OF China and
the guarantee OF an open door" to all
Corners. yet 1t begins to appear from the
course OF the negotiations that either
these promises were not sincere In all
cases. or that some of the ministers
honestly have changed their minds as
to what shall be done for the present
In China.
1t may be stated. however. regardless

that this shall not be done until all
proper interests of the United States In

iieved now TO be engaged with the
difficult subjects OF indemnities and
guarantees. The last United States

THE LIVE WIRE PERIL.

In time of storm electric lighting
wires in any city are apt to break or 10
cross telephone or telegraph wires, thus
putting the lives of people in jeopardy
Where the lighting business is properly
conducted and public interests are
looked after, the appearance OF storm
brings out a series of precautions that
have been the means of saving many
lives. Men are sent out to inspect the
street installations, the public is warn
ed to report any break in the service as
soon as it is observed and large force
of linemen is kept on duty at conve-
nient points to repair damages. Vigil
lance of this kind though 1t does not
always prevent fatal accidents, mas
paid we'll in life and property safe
guarded. Electric lighting companies
rarely demur at the cost, knowing the
peril of damage suits; and in most
cities failure to take reasonable precau-
lions is likely to invalidate franchise.
Honolulu seems to be an exception to
the general rule of precaution against
live wire accidents. AT the same time
it is a city which is peculiarly exposed
to them-a city lying open to the fuii
sweep of Kona storms and more or less
shaded by trees, which go down before
half a gale The algeroba. for instance,
has a feeble hold on the earth and in
toppling over, may easily carry wire
with il. Several times such things
have occurred, more than once with
fatal results People who go abroad in
our streets at night while gale is
blowing take the risks of sudden death
from a live wire, and the same Is true
of those who, at such times, make use
of telephones. The reason for 1t is
found, not in any unavoidable condi-
ton, but in the parsimony of the Ha-
waiian Electric Company which re-
fuses to employ men to look after it's
lines when they are in danger Of COM
ing down or to promptly repair them
when a break occurs. For all the cleo
trio company seems to care, live wires
may lie in the street until they are
covered with dead; and this in spite of
the fact that some of the victims may
be it's own stockholders or their fami-
lies. More than once the police have
sent word to the company that a wire
was down only to get the reply that the
engineer at the works had no one to
send out, his sole assistant being an
Asiatic oiler.
1t is needless to say that such state
of things is inexcusable. When a com
pany is permitted to string agencies OF
sudden death all over the public streets
it should be compelled to keep them in
the leash. The law requires the storage
of gunpowder and kerosene to be hat
at distance from inhabited localities
1t looks after the sellers of poisons; Il
inhibits fast driving and the indis
criminate use of firearms; but it ha,
little or nothing to say when an electri,
lighting company lets fire-spittin,
wires lie in the highway and keep
them alive after being notified of TIN
danger they create. The Discrimination
is perilously wrong and may yet be tn
cause of some appalling loss of life an,
property.
