Rapid Mules.

Some of Pains mules are evident
ly getting envious at the proposed
Rapid Transit. This morning two
frisky mules-we wonder whether
they had taken bite from the Off
cial rat poison-were running along
King street towards the town for
getting to take the tramcar along.
The people who generally travel by
that particular car either had of wait
for the next car or walk. All used
language which cannot be printed.
One of the long g-eared fellows-we
mean the mules not the passengers
Whispered to reporter that they
ran simply to see whether there was
an injunction around or whether any
hay could be had from the Hotel
Stables before the Fire Department
comes on deck.

The fresh outbreak of plague on
Sunday and Monday last, but for
the fact that the cases we're taken
from three localities, widely separ-
ated, would not have excited the
misgivings OF persons acquainted
with other plague infected ports

once from sporadic cases. They

discrimination to quarantine against

There is story current that Mr..
Harold NJ. Sewall, knowing we'll that
he cannot become U. S. Senator from
Maine, a State which sends men of
brains and influence to the Senate,
is anxious to go to the Senate as the
first representative from Hawaii. To
ensure this plan it will be necessary
for him to receive the palm of merit
from his party for his services in
Samoa and Hawaii in the form of
Governorship. The Governorship
obtained the plans must be laid to
turn Hawaii into statehood before
the Democrats come into power with
a tidal wave. As Sswall created the
State Of Hawaii, 30 Sewall becomes
the first Senator from Hawaii, and
justly 80 as he and his father are
assisting Hawaii.

And Sanford Ballard Dole. The
conservative element of Hawaii owe
him debt of gratitude for his lack
of energy and enterprise. With the
influence accorded to him since 1898
had hs been morally and physi.
cally "bad man." he might have been
terrible factor in the destruction
of the best interests of the country.
His weakness has been his strength.
The INDEPENDENT has no cause to
doubt either his honesty or his
morality, but it does hesitate to say
that he would make the best first
Governor of Hawaii. Honors enough
have been showered upon him and
we would like him to face the peo-
pie as the first nominee for Con
gressional honors.

The most ordinary precauti ons in
loading vessels with sugars for San
Francisco and Eastern ports of the
United States would prevent infec.
tion by plague. Honolulu is not a
forwarding port for oriental goods
or passengers. If Ssu Francisco is
to become infected, rs it possibly
will be, the inf, ction will be traced
to the same sources from whence we
took it; that is, steamers carrying
Chinese and Japanese goods, parti-
cularly food stuffs, from plague in
fected ports Of the Orient.

The harvesting of sugar cane has
been delayed already to an extent
that must soon depreciate the value

American quarantine regulations
against US, loss must pile up in fast
increasing ratio.

We believe that in no other part
of the world, infected by plague,
have the same drastic measures been
taken to stamp out the disease,
whether the measures are wise or
otherwise need not be discussed, and
it is manifestly unfair to derange
our shipping business, in the very
beginning of our sugar harvest, to
the manifest detriment of all island
business, simply because there may
be possible danger of infesting
San Francisco; that danger being
little when compared with the dan
ger to that port caused by direct
importations of goods from plague
infected ports in the Orient.

Fate of the Confedernte seaI

The result of the last confederate
council of war held at Abbeville, S.

over Abbevine, and the generals and
the secretary Of war were kept busy for
hours signing honorable discharges for
the tired soldiers, who Immediately ap-
piled for them. During the evening

In the summer of 1864 our regiment,

Noiseless Powder the Ln,.,t

The success of smokeless powder in
modern warfare has been such as to
prompt man of an inventive turn of
mind to manufacture a powder which
is said to be also noiseless. 1t is the
invention of a German workman who
studied the chemistry of explosives in
this country. He has already given a
private exhibition of the practicable
ty of his discovery with considerable
success. A she'll loaded with his pow.

said, yet sold the secret of the process,
but is still in treaty with different gov

Trees which Yield Gold.

Where surface waters run over gold
formations the gold is taken up by
trees and is locked up in their trunks,
DR.. Lungewitz analysed the ashes from
a number of trees and found they con.
tanned gold in quantities as high as
silly to the ton. In may cases the pres
ence of gold was evident. but the guam.
tity was so small as to be unmeasure-
able. At first only the ashes from the
roots were anaiyzed, but it was found
that the ashes from the upper branch.
es contained a much larger percentage
of gold. OF course, the amount of gold
in solution is small, but the trees act
as a filter to recover it, and during the
course of many years they accumulate
a perceptible amount Of the precious
metal. The investigation is more the.
oretical than praetical.-Science.
