swer to Consul Hoare should he choose
to move in the matter and 1t is an ex-
tremely unsatisfactory answer to those
citizens of the territory who insist that
sudden death should always be inves-
tigated by a coroner's jury no matter
where it occurs. A cynic smile, and the
remark that this is a fad of The Star
does not remove the responsibility
which rests upon the coroner whose
duty 1t is to investigate with jury,
and not trust to his unaided judgment
or the ex parte statement of one physi-
clan who conducts the autopsy.
The Star understands that motives of
economy are at the bottom of refusal
to hold coroner's inquests, at least so
the attorney general has stated. Be it
so. 1t is possible that enough money
for the purpose has not been vote l. use

let us slide back into the old attitude
of "the man is dead, why bother" This
was representative Mossman's argu-
ment He could not see when a man
was dead, why his body should be cut
up to find the cause of death.
There have been, a very considerable
number of cases, in the history of the
world, of young gentlemen who have
thoroughly appreciated Representative
Mossman's views upon this point. they
have objected to the vulgar curiosity of
the law into the departure of their rich
relatives to better and quieter world.
In large majority of cases these OBJ
jections have found themselves swing

The Spanish tariff is to come to an
end in the Philippines and the Ameri-
can is to take its place entirely. 1t is
surprising that this move was not made
before. After political possession is
taken of a country the first stem is to
put it's trade upon a footing favorable
to the nation in sovereign control. The
Philippine tariff was not favorable to
the nation in sovereign control, indeed
1t Yves favorable to nobody save the
Weather class of the Spaniards. 1t
was run on the principle that the taxes
should be paid by the poor, should be
light on the rich, and should be abso-
lutely "nil' for the church. 1t was a
lovely system for the church.

REGATTA DAY.

Regatta day is close upon us now,
and preparations should be under way
to make it a success. Regatta day is
emphatically the peoples holiday. 1t
was a day picked out at a season of
the year when it is almost certain to
be fine, and the sports are held where
the mass of the people can see and en-
Joy them.
The blue ribbon of the boating sea-
son is won or lost upon the waters of
Pearl Lochs. There are two races,
senior and a Junior, corresponding to
Varsity and freshman races upon the
rivers of the mainland. This attracts
crowds of people who are either greatly
interested in the progress of boat rae
ing as a sport, or who are interested
in the individual oarsmen or in the
competing clubs. A regatta, however,
is very different affair,
In a regatta there is not only the
straight dead racing of rival boat clubs
but there is endless variety of aquatic
sport which will keep a crowd amused
from early morn till late in the after
noon. Moreover it costs the crowd moth
ing for it's fun. All the crowd has to
do is to walk down to the wharf front
and line the wharves, and it cal enjoy
itself and shout to it's hearts content.
1t is good for people to use their lung
power occasionally.
The regular regatta day is essentially
one of the poor mans holidays. and it
is the duty of those who have means
to make an effort that those in charge
may achieve success. This can be done
by liberal subscription. To regatta day
the boat boys look forward for their
chance to win credit on the water front
and a few dollars. Hawaiian fisher
man look forward to the sailing canoe
and the paddle race. The yachtsman
gets his chance in the first and second
class yacht races, and very pretty it is
to see the coast from Diamond Head
to BARRIERS point, fringed by our anna
teur mosquito fleet. If a diving prize
is offered, the chances are some Won
derful old Hawaiian comes forward
who will quietly sink down beneath
the water, and long after his younger
competitors have returned to the sur
face and the judges and the managers
begin to be scared at his non-appear-
ance, the old gentleman's head will
bob up serenely and when he gets his
prize he will say "talo" and go off with
his old wahine to buy a malo of sur
prising magnificence for himself and a
gorgeous holoku for her.
There are, races for the Chinese and
japanese fishing boats, there are swim
ming races for boys and adults there
are tub races, single shell races, barge
races, pair cared races, races for the
boats of the Island steamers, and
should there be any men of-war in port
there are races for the iacllies. In point
of fact Regatta day, in our quiet har-
Dor, where events can be seen from
many points of vantage. can be made
more brilliant and varied than the re-
gattas held along the Atlantic coast,
or the numberless lakes of the MAIN
land, or the rivers of England and Ger
many. Our crowd may not be as swell
as the crowd that attends the Henley
Regatta, but it enjoys itself to the
full as much, if not more. All that is
needed for complete success is a good
committee of management, and a liber-
al amount for prizes.

1t was a long journey that last one
of the late Mrs. Parker, which came
to an end with fitting and solemn cere-
monies at Mana, Sunday. BY rail,

kindly hospitality has been dispensed,
and where the body will find rest in it's
dear native soil, while the spirit finds
rest above.

THAT RTET.

They say that the reason it has been so hot this summer is that there is a rift in the covering of the sun which lets the extra heat through. If that is so the rift must have been as suddenly and violently extended yesterday as a rift in a boys brooches is apt to be. The heat just poured through and fell on the sons of men and also the daugh- ters thereof with great force. Those who had thought the summer was over and that they were saved from the heat had doubt, and those who hadn't been deluded by the cool spell had cer- tainty. But let us not repine. When little Phoebe of the poem fell over the fence on a warm day, spilled her huckleberries and tore her gown she did not complain, and can we not be as enduring as little Phoebe? We can. There is sweet and a cool by and by coming, and in that sweet and cool by and by we can look back on this ex- perience and wish that there was as big a rift in the price of coal as there was in the suns covering.

INTER ESTING EXPERIM ENTS.


 New Haven's experience with typhoid fever is recent enough to give special interest to some experiments which have been made in the British army with inoculation against the fever. It appears that in the year 1900 there were sixty eight cases of typhoid among 2,669 uninoculated British troops in Egypt and Cyprus, with ten deaths, while among 720 inoculated troops there was but one case. It Is stated that the 2,669 put down as uninoculated included some who had been inoculated some time be- fore, so that the showing in favor of treatment is really better than it first appears to be. It is also explained that the one death of an inoculated man must be considered in connection with the fact that the disease developed be- fore sufficient time had elapsed for pro- lection to be established.
 Of course this isn't conclusive, but it Is encouraging. If 1t turns out that ty- phoid fever can be guarded against as smallpox can the discovery will be a great boon to humanity.

 arc lights. Power will also be fur nished to operate the company's laun- dry, for running the three big passen- ger elevators in the Park Row sta- tion, and for charging storage batteries of private cars. At present the power plant is taxed only to about fifty per cent. of it's capacity. It is said that when operated to its full strength there will be fourteen thousand incandescents and five hundred arc lights in use be- tween Randolph street and Matteson, making this the best lighted right of way in the world
 This attack on darkness Is impressive. Perhaps by and by there will be simi- lar lines of light across the continent.

PARIS FIRE DEPARTMENT AUTO-
 MOBILES

MOBILES.
 The Paris fire department has re- gently put into successful operation an electric autombile 'hook- and-ladder" wagon which completes the organiza- ton of the automobile system which the Paris authorities have had in con- temptation and with which they have been experimenting for several years. The truck carries six men and the ap- paratus first needed at fire-ladders. ropes and a reel of canvas hose.
 The automobile pump, as the French call the fire engine, was exhibited at the exposition of 1900 and attracted great deal of attention. It has since been In operation for six months, and has given complete satisfaction in every respect. The start to the fire Is made in from 10 to 20 seconds, in place of 11a minutes, and the electric engine is able to throw stream of water instanteous- ly, which is gain of minutes over the steam pumps. The motor serves not only to run the vehicle, but upon arriving at fire it pumps the water, and is put into service by the pulling of simple lever. The moment the en- 6lIlG slTlNtS at d lllt IL DtSlllS lo utli- ize the hundred gallons of water in it's tank, which, under ordinary circum- stances, will suffice for five or six min utes Meanwhile the hose is coupled to a hydrant and then if the fire re- quires it, the attack is pursued as usual with steam and hand engines but in all cases valuable time has been gained by the preliminary and immediate &C., tion of the electric fire engine. The en- zine In running order weighs about $500 pounds. The pump has three chambers, and forces the water through the axis of the reel into the rubber hose, which carries a nozzle provided with three screw orifces of different diameters, by means of which it is pos sible to vary the discharge and press ure. It has suction pipe, by the use of which it is possible to draw water from depth of 23 feet. By most in senious arrangement the forward box

MUCH MORE LIGHT.

The big railroads are doing big
 things. For instance, the entire right
 of way of the Illinois Central railroad in Chicago and as far into the suburban districts as Matteson, twenty-eight miles from the Park Row station, will soon be lighted at night so that the roadway will be almost as light as day. The company has just finished building a big electric plant for the purpose, and it's capacity is sufficient to furnish power for lighting all the tracks, stations, and yards for a dis tance of thirty miles. The plant is said to be one of the largest and most com plete in the country. The wires for the lighting are laid in cables in stoneware conduits underground So far 16,270 feet of this underground conduit has been laid. This will furnish light for the big station at Twelfth street and other stations and the right of way be- tween Randolph street and Burnside. All stations will be illuminated with lamps and the platforms and tracks with arc lights.
 In addition to the illumination of sta tions and right of way, the various down and up town, and the express warehouses, and the shops of the company will be lighted. So far the wired capacity of the substitution Is seven thousand sixteen candle-power ncandescent lamps and two hundred

.RECfpKOCITY,

The Washington correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle reports that in his coming message to congress President
 Mckinley will devote a large amount
 of space to advocating the passage of
 the reciprocity treaties now before the
 senate, and that he will urge in the
 most emphatic language that action on
 these treaties be taken at the earliest
 possible date. The talk Is that the
 President appears to be more inter-
 ested In this question at the present
 time than in anything else, and that in
 conversations that he has held with the
 statesmen of his party who have visit
 ed him at Canton he has dwelt on this
 subject to the exclusion of almost ev- erything else. The question of the &C., tion on the reciprocity treaties must not be taken to mean that the President favors any general tariff legislation, tions that have arisen and are arising as the outcome of our war with Spain and the threats of certain nations of Europe to pass tariff acts aimed at the United States, have rendered absolutely necessary the negotiations of reciproc- ity treaties,
 Of course there will be powerful op- position, and 1t will be hard to get a two-t thirds vote for the reciprocity treaties in the senate. In case the op- position senators are able to prevent the treaties from going through, the administration, 1t Is believed, may fav- or tariff with maximum and mini- mum schedules; the latter for those na- tions that meet us half way in regard to tariff rates, and the former to be imposed against those countries that enact high tariffs for the purpose of keeping out of their countries Ameri- can manufactured goods and food products.

There are 119000 men in the British navy, besides 36,0O0 reserves. This Is considered by many too small force for the worldwide work of the navy. The reserves are thought to be Nholly Insufficient in number to man the ships now laid up and to replace losses In action. The French have 100000 men in their reserve though their navy is much smaller, and other countries that enforce conscription are similarly well provided. The merchant ships are looked to for recruits in case of war, but it is found that many of the men serving on British merchantmen are foreigners The number of British sea- men is 5000 less than it was thirty years ago. But in the thirty years the navy has increased from 4S,0O0 to 119,- 900. This increase of the naval force is supposed to account for the decline of Brjtishers on British merchantmen.

The busi- ness has all been done in the face of declining foreign prices for the two ar tieles It has been generally supposed at Chicago, where the clearances have occasioned delight, that foreigners were buying to anticipate the results of the corn shortage. The Mark Lane Express states that such is not the true reason. It ayers that thousands of sacks of American flour have recently been landed in England for American sales agents who have been instructed to sell it at any price. They have done this, and the Mark Lane Express de- clares that the sales have been at prices which do not pay for delivery. It adds that the English millers are floored by the supply.
