inland places is very much longer than
it should be.
In Europe many steamers are equip
ped with an apparatus for wireless tele-
graphy and readily communicate with
stations on the coasts. Not long ago
one of the mail steamers came across
q disabled steamer off the mouth of the
Elbe. Her condition and position We're
telegraphed to the shore station, and
a tug was promptly sent to the rescue.
BY this means considerable property
was saved. A mail steamer can only
take a crew and passengers off, she
cannot stay by a disabled or sinking
ship, and she cannot, by her contract,
take her in tow. Upon this point was
the main interest in one of Kiplings'
stories, Bread upon the Waters"
This last mail has brought out an
other wireless telegraphy story which
has been forwarded to the State De-
partment by Consul General Guenther
of Frankfort. He says that the cap
tain Of a channel mail steamer, which
is equipped with an apparatus for wire
less biography, reports that on his last
trip a message was received from the
French light-ship, which is anchored
about % sea miles from Dunkirk, stat
ing that the latter would be unable to
light up the next night unless help ar
rived from shore. The captain at once
sent second wireless message to La
Panne, on the Belgian coast, from
which point it was forwarded to Dun
kirk by the regular telegraph line.
From this place, a boat was dispatched
to the light-ship and the necessary re-
pairs were made.
If our wireless telegraphy system
were in thorough order, so that it would
inspire perfect confidence, some of the
more important island steamers might
be fitted with apparatus and the ocean
mail steamers might also make use of
similar means of communication. What
the trouble with the local line is, the
public cannot judge. Expert Gray no
doubt knows, but he simply waits and
will not tell

The idea of removing the Hawaiian
educational exhibit to Charleston,
when it has fulfilled it's function at
Buffalo may not be a bad one. But
there should be a considerable addition.
The Island products and manufactures
should be shown. The commissioner for
the exhibition is here, and the members
of the Chamber of Commerce should
see and talk with him. The advertis-
ing of the Territory on sensible lines
is worth money, and the wrong i'm
preston created by the Hawaiian Vii
lage needs to be counteracted.

Elder Cannon's estate shows how
wealthy the Mormon leaders are. Not
only was the Elder rich in this world s
goods but he was in the happy position
of the man, who ACCORDING to the scrip
lures need not be afraid to speak with
his enemy at the gate, for he had no
less than thirty-three children, the off
spring Of four wives. The wives and
children are all amply provided for.
This is a curious phase of our civiliza-
ton. OF course it is now a thing of the
past, but the death of such man as
Cannon, points out what has been.
Cannon's position is the more interest
ing to us as he spent some time of his
youth upon the Islands and visited the
Territory only few months ago.

The comet, according to Professor
Lyons sets about four minutes later
every night. Such being the case if is
quite possible that the celestial wand
erer will show up more brilliantly dur
ing the next week. The trouble at
present is that the comet shows up
against a very light sky, and so its
brightness is lost. The comet has APP
precably changed it's position since
Tuesday. 1t has advanced considerably
northward of Orions belt.

The investigation of the Hawaiian
fisheries is a very necessary thine. No
one has given more time and thought
to our fisheries up to the present than
Secretary Cooper. That our fisheries
are not properly developed is patent
to any one who gives the slightest at
tention to the matter. AS things now
are a considerable quantity of small
fry is destroyed by the Chinese and
japanese fishermen, and they cannot
legally be prevented from doing what
they do.

The canvas was discovered hidden in

not quite so romantic as those of the

WIRELESS SUCCESS.

With the constantly recurring reports
of the success of wireless telegraphy
along the coasts of Europe, it is extra
ordinary that greater success is not OBJ
tanned here. That messages are sent
and received is perfectly true, but there
is something about the service which
precludes 1t from coming into general
use. The price is heavy and the time
occupied in getting messages through to

The Grand Trunks Chicago depot is

three splendid trains daily out of Chicago
east, and each has through Buffalo
sleeper via Niagara Falls, so. that you
have no change to make. The first is
the New York and Philadelphia train,
run in connection with the Lehigh Valley
road, one of the great systems of the
east. 1t is a solid train of vestibule
cars and runs via Detroit and Mount
Clemens, Mich 1t may be of more than
passing interest to many to know that
the Grand Trunk is the only line out OF
Chicago that will take you to Mount
Clemens without change. This train
leaves Chicago at 1880 a. M, reaching
Buffalo at 6:15 the next morning, and
New York city at 4:3O that afternoon,
and runs oyer a beautiful scenic route
through New York and Pennsylvania.
The next train is the famous mo. L."
a flyer and a palace. 1t leaves Chicago
at 1902 p. M. and is in Buffalo at 500 the
next morning. The third leaves at SIS
p. m and arrives at Buffalo at 4:3O D. m
Also, if you are going beyond Buffalo
and wish to stop TO see the exposition

Grand Trunk, for those wishing to visit
Toronto, Montreal or any point in Cana
da, is almost the only line, and it offers
every inducement to the traveller.
The connections between the Milwaukee

blocks to Main street and there take "a

of about 20 to 80 minutes out there, as
Statler's adjoins the exposition grounos;
Within half an hour after we had reached
the house we were all in our rooms. as we
had all been booked and roomed in ad.
vance. Statler's is one of the wonders OIL
the exposition. It is but three stories
high, yet is the largest hotel in the WORLD
having 2,100 rooms, and it makes it pos
sible for a person of moderate means 10
visit the great Pan-American. You get
a neat, clean room, good meals, promptly
and nicely served, and every needed &C
commodation for 81 day, which includes
breakfast and evening dinner. The din
ing room accommodates 1900 people. and
the morning we left there, there were
1000 persons getting breakfast at one
time. Excursions of 500 and more persons
come here and are swallowed and go un-
noticed, while so systematic are the de-
tails of the management that there is no
hitch, and each one is fully cared for.
This is said not to puff Mr.. Statler. for
the editors paid for all they got there.
but it is simply to save the Minnesota
people who go to Buffalo their money and
their time. Many who have gone have
spent days and enough money to do the
exposition before finding out where to
go to get good meals, comfort and a mod
crate charge.
s Once at Statler's, the exposition Is but
a stones throw, and we would advise
every one, on their. first visit to the
grounds, to go by the long central hall
out the rear exit of the hotel. where 100
yards distant, is the imposing Lincoln
parkway entrance to the grounds. A
short and lovely walk past the regular
army camp, the Casino, the lake, the
unfinished Albright Art building, the
United States life-saving stations, brings
you to the approach to the Triumphal
bridge. Later, if you wish to see the
State and Foreign buildings, or the art
or army and navy exhibits. turn here to
the right. Or, if you wish to go to the
woman's building, turn to the left But,
for this first visit, keep straight on to
this splendid triumphal bridge, and there
you have before you the quadrangle and
all the glory of the exposition. After

ENGLAND MAKES GOLD DEAR.
It's Bank Raises the Rate of Interest

Rt Home.

When the tide of gold Gibbs from
the shores of Great Britain there is
only one course open to the Bank of
England, says a London newspaper.
1t raises the rate which it is willing
to pay for gold placed on deposit; in
other words, It makes gold dear in
England. by this means persons
having gold are induced to allow il
to remain in England where it can
earn higher rate of interest than
elsewhere.
An equally effective way of keeping
q big reserve at the Bank of England
would be to hold all gold received
and make payments in silver. This
Is done by the Bank of France. which,
in times of like emergency, can pay
in fve-franc pieces. Fortunately. or
unfortunately, the Bank of England
Is not allowed to take similar action
1t can only make gold dear.
