DORA BLuHM LIBEL.

Deputy Marshal e. r. Hendry left
yesterday afternoon for Kauai to seize
the schooner Dora Bluhm under a libel
for salvage preferred by the Inter-Isl-
and Company. The libel is for $4,000,
and it is alleged that the vessel and her
cargo is worth $4,000 Following are
the allegations in the case:
While the Dora Bluhm was at Wal
lua discharging a cargo of lumber and
plantation supplies from the Sound, the
steamer Mikahala of the libellant's
fleet came along and her captain no
ticed that the schooner was in a dan
gerous position. He therefore hailed
the Dora Bluhm and, warning her of
her peril, offered to tow her into a
safe position. For this latter service
the Mikahala's Captain stated the
charge would be $3.50.
The warning was unheeded' and the
offer of assistance declined. Shortly
afterward the Dora Bluhm was driven
upon the reef, becoming in imminent
danger of destruction. Then her cap
tain sent an urgent request to the
Mikahala, which in the meantime had
steamed away, to return to Wailua
and pull the Dora Bluhm off the rocks
The Inter-Island boat complied and
at some risk to herself, succeeded in
saving the schooner. For this the
owners of the steamer claim savage
of So 900.

SEVEN,NASTER NOW
PLANS FOR A SCHOONER IN THE
EAST.
A Steel Vessel With Seven Masts and
1880 Tons Displacement-To Cost
-$25O,OOO.

NEW YORK, May 25.-A special to
the Sun from Boston says: Several of
the leading shipbuilding concerns on
the Atlantic Coast are preparing bids
for the construction of a seven masted
steel schooner destined to be the largest
cargo carrier of that type afloat. This
vessel is the first of a fleet of seven,
which will be constructed by a syndi-
cate. The craft will cost, when ready
for sea, about $250,000.
The schooner is designed by b. B.
CrOwninshield, Boston Naval Architect
who is also a shareholder, as are Cap
tain Crowley, Thomas w. Lawson and
every member of his family, and others
in Boston. In point of size the schoo-
ner will be largest sailing craft ever
built in this country, and it is expected
that her earnings as a cargo carrier
will be large. Her length, on deck, will
be 800 feet, length on the keel 1893 feet
and load water line $40 feet. Her beam
will be 80 feet at the widest point, and
depth of hold 30 feet. She VIII draw &c
feet of water, when loaded to her limit
and will displace II, 500 tons, or about
the same as a modern battleship, and
1000 more than can be carried by the
siX-masters. George w. Wells and
Eleanor A. Percy.

The War Cry saws:

The War Cry says:
WAILUKU, II. Last Sunday night
we sWore in a colored brother as a SOL
der of the local corps, on the street,
before a large crowd 1t was some
thing new to have a swearing-in on the
street, and as we read the Articles of
War, everybody listened.
Our Japanese brethren are doing
well. Two take a stand with us in the
open air every time.
Last night we commissioned the first
local officer that has ever been COM
missioned in Maui. Sister Sam, a native
lassie, became Sergeant Sam. She is
an earnest Junior worker, and we feel
confident that she will prove to be a
useful local.
In writing of the two sisters sworn
in here Sisters are, you see, a scarce
article on these islandsN reminds me
that the only other one have enrolled
so far during my stay on the islands.
Sister Annie Sam, of Waikiki, now
wears full uniform, and has been COM
mtssioned as a Junior sergeant. l am
told she is the first full native lassie
to wear full uniform, and is also the
first local officer on Maui.

POLITICS TOO WARM.

We are afraid that no words of ours
will soften the asperities which exist
amongst the two political parties to
which our new polity has given rise.
This every one should know, that no
one of any right feeling towards the
land of their birth or adoption, can
view with anything but regret the
present state of affairs. There is some
thing wrong in the education, training
and composition of persons who allow
such bitterness of spir.. to have sway
in politics as exists today. Opposition
in religious matters is bad enough, but
that in politics is far worse. There is
no wonder that both these subjects are
banished from the area of discussion in
all we'll regulated societies.-Angllcan
Church Chronicle.

DISFRANCHISEMEN
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

DiSE REIMBURSEMENT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
An Amendment to the Organic Law Neces-
sary Before Action Can BE Taken.
Should the Democrats in MARYLAND
conclude to have an extra session of
the Legislature and succeed in passing
a law which would result in the dis
reimbursement of the illiterate voters,
they may run up against a constitu-
tional objection which may invalidate
the act and probably result in the
National Congress taking hand.
Representative Mudd, who has
given the subject careful study and
is understood to reflect the views of
the ablest constitutional lawyers in
Congress, gave your correspondent
recently a comprehensive statement
which presents very good reasons why
the proposed law will not be effective.
LAS to the expediency and wisdom
of the calling of an extra session of
the legislature by the governor for
the purpose of restricting suffrage ~
said he, Il have nothing to say.
am not adviser to the Democratic
party in Maryland. If were should
be inclined to suggest that such a
course would be unwise and impolitic
from its standpoint. The restriction
of suffrage by imposing what is tan
tamount to an educational qualifica-
tion might result in a Democratic
candidate for the Senate obtaining a
certificate of elections; it would not
necessarily seat him in the Senate, if
the Republican majority of that body
should be of the opinion, as is almost
every lawyer of any standing down
here, that such action by the legisla-
ture would be unconstitutional.
''In this connection it might be well
to state that wherever an education
al qualification has been prescribed
and it has been done in quite num-
Der of states, both North and South
it has been done by an amendment
to the constitution of the state or by
constitutional convention. To say
that no man can vote who cannot
mark his own tickets does not pre-
scribe an educational qualification is
a pretense of the worst sort. When
you say that no man shall vote who
cannot read the names of the candi-
dates he votes for you prescribe an
educational qualification. Nolawyer
