SCATTERING STRENGTH.

The fact that claims aggregating ST.
500 600 on account of the sanitary fires
in Chinatown have been reported at
Washington, gives the public a glimpse
of the Wilcox-Asiatic job in all its col
lossal proportions. AS the Advertiser
stated few days ago, the funds of the
Independent party are supplied by
local Chinese on the pledge that a Will
cox Legislature will levy taxes to pay
the fire claims in full. Should the deal
be carried out the taxpayers of this
country will have to add a sum to the
aggregate levy, two and one half times
greater than that which was raised by
internal taxation in all the Islands
during the past fiscal year. That will
be the price made for the luxury Of
anti-haole government by the worst
class of Hawaiians-but not all the
price. Taking the Wilcox program as
a whole, with it's elaborate mechanism
of city and county rule and its pro-
truding eye for plumber, and $6,0O0,000
will no more than answer it's require
ments.
In the face of this tremendous
danger to the prosperity and progress
of Hawaii what preparations are
there for defence? What do we see on
the side of good government? Are the
opponents of Wilcox nationally getting
together to bring their whole strength
against the tax eaters by electing a
decent Legislature? Is there any pros
pect of fusion between Republicans
and Democrats for the purpose of saw
ing the credit of Hawaii and prevent
ing two years or more of stagnation?
We see none. On the contrary the Re-
publicans talk of straight tickets and
the Democrats of the same; and there
is something like enthusiasm in the
Congressional field for a division OF
strength between such stalwart leaders
as Sam Parker and Prince David. Can
not true friends of Hawaii see that
all this is but playing into the hands Of
the Wilcox party? While lions are
fighting the jackal gets away with the
bone. More than one President of The
United States has been elected when g
majority of votes were polled for Other
candidates, thus going into power on q
plurality; and, to compare small things
with great Wilcox and his banditti
even though they are in minority now
which we doubt-may in the coming
elections, as easily sweep the board.
To exalt party principles and par
ty organization" when Hawaifs needs
are for a union of honest men of al
parties for the sake of good govern
ment is one of those blunders that are
worse than crimes. The only party
worth belonging TO now is the party
that will save Hawaii from Wilcox

ington than they do for the interests OF
the property-owners here. 1t is time
for our people to put party in a Sec
ondary place and get together for the
rescue of this Territory. Perhaps it i:
too late-but not if there are citizens
enough on both sides who can see &
foot beyond their noses.

Robert w. Wilcox met the ex-Queen
by appointment yesterday and had an
earnest interview lasting two hours.
While nothing could be found out about
their topic of conversation the fact that
Liliuokalani has been quoted as saying
that Prince David is too young and in
experienced to go to Congress may af-
ford a clue. Is it not reasonable under
all the circumstances to think that
Wilcox wants the Royal head of
Davids line to induce him to withdraw
and leave the field clear for a bout be-
tween the Independent and Republican
Congressional nominees? If that is the
case the attitude of Prince David dur
ing the next few days will be awaited
with interest.

Hunting ducks with a brass band is
nothing to hunting sharks with steam
launches, glee-clubs and crowded pleas
ure yachts. When the sharks heard
Saturdays aggregation coming before
the wind they disappeared in the utter
most depths of the sea and Pearl Har-
Dor became as safe a bathing place as
a family tub. When sharks are wanted
hereafter the hunters of the wave will
probably go to the finny haunts singly
and alone leaving guitars and gasoline
engines behind and keeping in mind the
all-important fact that the shark OF
commerce has a nervous system.

Syndicate Formed to Establish

Steamer TO Be Fitted Out in
Luxurious Splendor.
OFF ENGLISH COAST.
Launches Run to and Fro to
Meet London Trains.
Roulette the Principal Game
Played on Monaco Rules.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London
says.
A syndicate has been formed to buy
an obsolete Atlantic liner, fit her up as
a miniature Monte Carlo Casino, moor
her off English coast just outside the
three-mile limit and run q. big game in
the English channel off Brighton, the
place chosen. Launches will run back
and forth to meet the London trains.
The boat will be a floating hotel as
well as a gambling resort and visitors
may live aboard as long as they please
in luxurious surroundings Experienced
croupierS will be imported from Monte
Carlo, and roulette will be the principal
game, played in strict accordance with
Monaco rules.
Nominally it viii be a club, but any
man belonging to any recognized club in
Europe can easily obtain admission upon
payment of a nominal fee. This is sim
liar to the rule of the Ostend club. A
private part of the ship will be devoted
to restricted club like any London
club, with heavy subscriptions and linn
tied membership. This will be for
private play.
The promoters say making money is
not SO much their object as providing
a place where Englishmen can gamble.
They reckon the profits of the hotel and
restaurant business will be sufficient to
pay the expenses, so every reasonable
concession will be made to gamblers.
The cost of the ship and Quitting is
estimated at $250000, while more than
that will be subscribed to stake the
bank.

TO BUILD TO CHICAGO
L. A. w. MATURING PLANS F0R A
TRUNK LINE CYCLE
PATH
INITIAL STEPS ARE TAKEN

The Idea to Have Every Town on
the Line Between ST. Paul and
Chicago to Assist I'm the Expense
of Building the ROad-Each Town
VIII BE Visited by Representa-
tives of the Organizations.
A trunk line cycle path is to be built
between st. Paul, Chicago and Milwaukee
during the present season by the League
of American Wheelmen of the four states
through which the proposed route will
traverse. The executive board Of the
Minnesota division, consisting of Chief
Consul F. L. Hoxsie, Vice Consul I. b.
Keim, st. Paul; OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES c.
W. Purple, Minneapolis; A. B. Choate,
Minneapolis; M L. Knowlton, Minneapo-
lis, and e. A. Whitford, of Hastings,
have already taken the initial steps
towards contamination of perhaps the
greatest project ever undertaken by
wheelmen in the Northwest. and any
where in the United States, for that mat
ter.
The project Is the result Of a we'll ma
tured plan laid before the executive board
by F. L. Hoxsie just after the first Of the
year At first the plan was considered
visionary, but as Mr.. Hoxsie unfolded the
details which he carefully worked out. 1t
was Immediately taken up, and as re-
suit the path is practically assured.
Instead Of taking the L. A. w. funds,
whselmen in the several localities will be
interested in the project, and every town
