DISADVANTAGES.

Every now and again some one disap-
pears from Honolulu, or from Hilo, or
from some spot on the islands, and no
one knows what has become of the in
dividual. 1t is matter of interest for a
short time to a few people, and then
the whole thing fades away.
Recently there have been quite a
number of disappearances from Homo
lulu and they are all accounted for by
presuming that the parties have skip
ped because they wanted to get clear
of their debts. This is an easy explain
alton and a quieting one, but is it cor
rect one?
To take two cases which have re-
Gently occurred, the disappearance of
Manson, formerly business manager Of
the Honolulu Republican, and that of
Mcdonald, a census enumerator. Man
son was known to have drawn quite a
considerable sum from his bankers, and
Immediately after he vanishes. Van
ishes so completely that no trace of him
can be picked up, and yet we have had
mails from the coast which should have
given us information as to his where
abouts, if not directly from him, at
least from some one who had come
across him.
McDonald's is even a more curious
case. He had completed his work of
enumerating and left Eva with the os-
tensible purpose of coming to the CEN
trail office in Honolulu to deliver it,
Upon it's delivery he was entitled to his
draft for the work and could have cash
ed it right away He never arrived at
the central office and from that day to
this no trace of him has turned up, he
dropped out of existence as if he had
never been. His work was lost to the
bureau and another had to do it over
again. What has become of Mr.. Nc
Donald? Did he bolt from creditors or
was he quietly put out of the way in a
brawl. Who can tell?
But if we have disappearance here,
there are plenty of disappearances else
where. 1t is true that many and per-
haps most can be accounted for through
debt, debauchery, or crime, but not all
can be so. Some quarter of a century or
so ago in Berlin an elderly gentleman
left his house for his usual morning
walk. He was man of independent
means, of methodical habits. He did
not return at his usual time. There
was first speculation, then anxiety,
then fear. The aid of the police was
called in, money was freely spent. The
hospitals were searched, the lowest dens
were investigated, but from the hour
that his front door closed upon him, no
one knows what became of that emf
nently respectable old gentleman. This
case the writer knows of. There have
been countless other cases just as in
explicable. Human disappearance are
curious things.

The public buildings of the United
States have cost since the foundation
of the government, exclusive of the
buildings in Washington and those used
by the Army and Navy $154,775, 1884.
There will still be required $23, S43, 574 to
be expended upon them to bring them
to completion. The Federal offices
which are to be erected here will not
swell the grand total very much.

Soldiers at Montreal Shoot Into The
Air AS The Riot Act Is Not Read.

Montreal, Oct. 26-There are on du-
ty at Valley Field guarding the exten-
sive works of the Dominion Cotton
company, the Royal Scots, Victoria
Rifles and a garrison artillery. The
Victoria rifles have a Maxim gun.
The sending of re-inforcements was
decided on last night after the first
detachment of Royal Scots had come
into collision with the strikers, re-
sulting in nine of their men being
wounded. The scots were at the mer-
cy of the strikers, as Colonel Ibbeston
was unable to find the magistrate who
would read the riot act. The officers
had to content themselves with firing
their revolvers into the air The town
is largely French-Canadian and has at
all times been hot-bed of race hatred,
eliminating in the trouble recently
over the employment of Englishmen in
the mills, where there are some 1000
employees paid by English capital. AL
though the present trouble is on ac-
count of the refusal to meet the union
demand for more pay for the men
working on the construction of the
new mill, the difficulty has all the ap-
pearance of assuming the old phase of
racial antagonism. Four hundred or
more operatives Joined the strikers
this morning. The town is now under
martial law

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Northern Pacific And Southern Pa
cific Combine-vanderbi
Control.

New York, Oct 26.-The "Times"
says: Vanderbilt's have obtained
control of the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN. Negotiations aiming to this ac-
complishment were begun two years
ago, but G. p Huntington said he
~anted no alliances which could mske
him dependent upon the interests of
other than those for which he himself
stood Thus, important deals to
which New York, London and Berlin
houses committed themselves, were
disposed of. The death of Huntington
brought about a complete change in
the situation. Conspicuous in the
syndicate obtaining control are Will
liam K. Vanderbilt, e. H. Hartman,
James J.. Hill, Norman B. Ream, James
Speyer. Aside from the ambition of
the Vanderbilt interest to establish
line from New York to San Francis
co and thence to the far east, (made
practicable by the New York Central,
Northwestern, Union Pacific and Pa
cific Mail,) the taking over of the
Southern Pacific is an accomplish
ment greater than any other coalition
hitherto forecasted. "The Vanderbilt
control of the Southern Pacific" de-
clared one authority, will produce
an actual revolution in southwestern
railroad business. We will have fair
dealing. Rate cutting will stop. In
stead of deception, secret cuts, dis
turbances, losses and reprisals, we
can have profits"

WILL PUNISH HER OFFENDERS
The Legations Not Satisfied With The
Propositions Submitted.

Paris, Oct. 26.-According to dis
patch from Pekin to Hava's agency,
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang COM
municated to the legations the imper-
ial decree that in accordance with
which the princes and ministers were
responsible for the recent trouble in
China are to be punished, according
to their respective degrees of culpabil-
ity. The emperor recognizes the fact
that General Tung Fab Slang commit
ted serious offenses and charges
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang to
fix the penalties to be imposed on
those for whom the Europeans demand
punishment. The decree states that
Chinese plenipotentiaries have al
ready inflicted punishment upon some
of the princes. These communications
are not satisfactory to the legations.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The Chinese
minister received a dispatch stating
that Kang vi, member of the cabi-
net with Hung Lu and one of the in
tense anti-foreign leaders whose pun
ishment was demanded by the powers,
died of illness on the 18th inst, also
that Yu Hsien, late governor of Shan
81, who is said to have been RESPONSE
BILE for the death of many missionaries,
committed suicide by swallowing gold
leaf. Minister WI regards this act as
a result of the disfavor they received
from the throne. Wu's advices today
also show Prince Tuan has been Wis
tied with severe censure from the
throne to such an extent it would be
no surprise if he followed the course
of Kang vi and Yu.
