The public scandal of the First
Methodist church OF Spokane and its
wide publicity is to be deplored
There seems to be no end of complaints
and charges now that i'll feeling has
been stirred and the efforts Of the
pastor and executive board OF the
church to control and discipline its
members has met with i'll success and
characterization Actions are taken
and rescinded and the affairs Of the
church are in "a taugle and maize OF
misunderstanding. The officers should
close such disgraceiul proceedings as
quickly as possible and prevent the
sullying influence such actions tend
to spread by creating dissension and
strife in other churches. These bitter
quarrels are not for such as they.

During 1894, Mars was especially
near to the earth. An observatory
was built in the clear air of Flagsaff,
Ariz. The results OF the study there
are given in that noble volume by
Perciyal Lowell. Proof in abundance
is here adduced to the existence upon
Mars Of long lines OF remarkable regu-
larity, often double and parallel, with
great circular regions at their inter
section. Taken in connection with
she almost certain dearth of water on
that planet, the conclusion is all but
forced upon us that these markings
are visual evidence OF a stupendous
system of irrigation, and, OF course, OF
the presence OF reasoning beings.
The book closes with discussion Of
what solt OF creatures these may be
whose life nuns parallel to our own,
yet SO hopelessly sundcred. The vol
une will prove fascinating to any one
that has even the slightest acquain-
lance with astronomy.

ARE FOUR MEN
LOST IN A BOAT ?

Anxious women were making inqui-
ries at the police station yesterday
concerning the fate of husbands and
sons. -Four fishermen have disappeared
nor has anything been heard Of them
since the 25th of last month. Never
before have they been away upon fish
ing excursions about the Island for so
long a time. Very rough weather has
prevailed for the past few weeks and
it is thought that perhaps the men
have been lost somewhere between this
port and Waimanalo, on the other side
of this Island.
Their names are Manuel and John de
Ponte, Antoine de Costa and another
man, name unknown.
Yesterday Mrs. Manuel de Ponte no.
titled the police department of the fact
that the men were missing and wanted
to know if anything had been heard of
them. Ten days ago, almost, they took
boat to go fishing to Waimanalo and
nothing has been heard of them since
that time. Her husband, the woman
stated, made the same trip once before
and was gone only two days. Japa-
nese fishermen report having seen a
boat upside down mot far from Bar
bers Point, but nothing definite has
been learned in connection with it.

was unbearably hot in the forecastle.
The two men got to quarreing over the
matter and finally Mullalley went below
and turned in. He found that he had
forgotten something, however, and
went back on deck to get it, 1t was
then that Marato fell upon him with
his sheathed knife and administered
several dangerous wounds. The most
serious were in the shoulder, although
there were several others in the face,
breast and abdomen.
The knife-wielder was Immediately
put in irons and everything possible
was done for the injured man. While
it is thought that the wounds will not
prove fatal, the victim is in a precari-
Gus condition. The probabilities are
that the bark will not come into the
harbor but will remain outside while
she is here. Captain Shorey will prob
ably be some time looking for a crew.
The Andrew Hicks is on her regular
whaling tour and will probably pro-
coed to Guam from this port going
thence to the fishing grounds off the
japanese coast and afterwards north
wards.

NEWS OF THE WATER FRONT.

at Brewers wharf on Tuesday night
and but for the quick action of Lima
Hopu, boatman No 81, some damage
might have resulted. AS 1t was. the
wharf caught fire and several boats
were little scorched.
ON Tuesday evening several men of
the schooner Rosamond had been en-
gagged in overhauling the little gasoline
launch which belongs to the vessel.
The pipe from the gasoline tank to the
engine was opened in some way or else
sprung leak, for without any warning
the boat became suddenly enveloped in
flames. The gas had ignited from a
lantern which the men were using in
their work. The men immediately
jumped into the water to escape being
burned. The launch was moored close
TO the Waikiki side of the wharf and
near 1t were the schooner Concord and
u small boat from the schooner Olga.
Both of these boats as we'll as the
wharf caught fire, so fast did the flames
spread. Lima, the boatman. took in the
whole situation at a glance and was
quickly on hand with bucket and
soon extinguished the blaze. The launch
sustained no material damage, al
though she was badly blackened amid
ships. The Concord and the Olga s
boat We're only slightly scorched
Capt. Nystrom Not to Blame.
Yesterday morning an official inves-
tigation was made concerning the
wreck Of the Hawaiian Navigation
Company's gasoline schooner Surprise,
which went on the reef AT Koloa, Kau-
al, not long ago, during a severe kona
storm
Captains Whitney and Lehners, Fed
eral inspectors of hulls and boilers,
conducted the investigation. The mas
ter of the wrecked vessel, Captain Ny
strom, was the principal witness He
testified that he was lying off Koloa
engaged in unloading freight when a
strong west-southWest gale sprung up.
forcing the vessel toward the shore
He Immediately let go both of his an
chors and started the engine full speed
ahead in the attempt to get out to sea-
The force of the storm was too much,
however, and the schooner was driven
on the reef. Everything was done to
get her off, but she was on the rocks
hard and fast and had to be abandoned
finally.
The causes of the vessel going
aground, as given by Captain Nystrom
were corroborated by Mate Schwartz.
In explanation of his going away from
the schooner in the first boat to leave
the wrecked vessel, the mate said that
he had made every effort to get back to
the schooner's side but that he was
unable to do so on account of the fury
of the storm.
The Federal inspectors returned a
verdict generating the officers of the
Surprise from all blame for the yes
sells loss.

IA seriousness of which he is only
beginning to realize. On the 2Sth
| of last month he undertook to use a
Ihorsewhip on one of the inspectors of
the customs department, while the of
ficer was in uniform and on duty. He
tried to bluff the representative of
Uncle Sam and attempted to use force
to carry out his bluff, and now he has
to answer to Uncle Sam for his te-
merity.
United States District Attorney
Baird yesterday swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Hackman Day, charg-
ing him with interfering with Inspector
Walter Doyle of the customs depart
ment while in the discharge of his duty.
The action of the District Attorney was
the result of Collector of Port Stack
able bringing the matter of the assault
on Inspector Doyle to his attention.
Inspector Doyle swore to the com
plant. The warrant was placed in the
hands of the United States Marshal
and Hackman Day will be placed I'M
der arrest and will have to stand trial
On the night of February %, Thurs
was on duty on the Pacific Mail wharf
at the Waikiki end. The steamship

vigilance when vessel is in from a
foreign port.
In order to guard against hacks com
ing onto the Pacific Mail wharf from
the Navy wharf, which is against the
law when a vessel from a foreign port
is discharging on the wharf, Inspector
Doyle caused a couple of long gang
ways to be laid across the Waikiki end
of the Pacific Mail wharf.
About IL o'clock a hack drove onto
the Navy wharf from the Esplanade
and went around and attempted to go
onto the Pacific Mail wharf. Doyle i'm
mediately motioned to the hackdriver
to go back, at the same time calling
out to him that it was against the law
for him to bring his hack on the wharf
while the cargo was being discharged
from foreign vessel. Notwithstanding
this, however, and notwithstanding the
presence of the two gangways which
had been laid across the wharf to pre-
vent just such things, the hackman,
who was P. d. Day, driving hack 81,
insisted upon coming onto the wharf
and called out something in an insult
ing manner to the inspector, at the
same time attempting to drive his horse
between the two gangways. Doyle
jumped and grabbed the horses head
and started to force the animal back.
There was a man and woman in the
hack at the time of the trouble and
they, seieng that there was likely to
be a row of some kind, jumped out of
the hack and disappeared.
