Dole.
1t is said that the agents of some
sugar companies in the islands are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of bringing in
Filipinos to work on the plantations. AS
these people are accustomed to working
in the cane field the experiment may
prove a success to the plantations,
though it may not improve social condi
tions. 1t can no longer be said, ''Ha-
wall for Hawaiians," or for Americans,
for that matter, for under present con-
ditions Hawaii rivals London in its cos
mopolite features. A school room CON
tanning six American children to fifty
of other nationalities about tells the
story.-Hawaii Herald.
ST. GATHERINGS SAILS.
The bark St. GATHERINGS sailed on
Sunday with full cargo of sugar for
San Francisco. When the sailors were
asked to turn in and hoist anchor,
they declined, on the ground that it was
Sunday, and according to the rules of
the Sailors Union, they We're not
obliged to-work on that day. Captain
Sanders sent ashore for Captain Bob
Andrews and requested him to send
enough natives out to the ship to do the
work. When the natives were taken
aboard they got up the anchor and set
the sails The vessel was towed out
about ten miles, when Captain Andrews
went to the forecastle and ordered the
men aft. The sailors demurred but
failed to get around Bobs convincing
argument, and when he left the vessel
with the natives the sailors were at
work.-Herald
CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
Robert L. Scott, for the past five years
connected with the Hawaiian and Mo-
ana Hotels in Honolulu, arrived by the
last Kinau to take charge of the Hilo
Hotel, in place of E. H. Card, who goes
to Honolulu to take a position at the
Moana. Mr. Scott is deservedly popu-
lar in Honolulu, and is well known here
to town people who have visited the
capital. The same may be said of Mr..
Card, who, during his short term as
manager of the Hilo Hotel has made the
house a popular stopping place for the
public. He is we'll suited to the de-
mands that will be made upon him at
the Moana, and his career there will
no doubt be upward.-Herald
GETTING WARM.
Manager Waldron of the Kilauea Vol
cano House says he has never seen the
large crater as warm as it is now. Por-
ton of the trail across the lava in the
vicinity of old Halemaumau is so warm
as to be impossible, and dense volume
of sulphur smoke is being emitted from
the small crater. In many of the cracks
fire is plainly visible. This condition of
the crater may continue indefinitely, or
it may end in an outbreak at any time.

HILO TRACK.
Stall room is being prepared at the
race track for twenty-one horses that
will go into training for the July races
During the absence of Manager Nc
Kenzie in Honolulu Mr. Wright has had
the track wet down and rolled every
night, and the result is highly satisfac-
tory. Last Sunday several of the local
racers, among them O'Rourke's and
Humburg's, did some good work Ly-
mans Twinkle was put around and
made a great rush to the three-eighths.
Next Sunday should be a lively day at
the track, as a number of Honolulu
horses will be worked out.-Herald

nau en- route to the coast, after a brief
visit of a week to Hilo, made for the

Olaa property at twenty-five and a half

ready made arrangements for closing

Francisco Mr.. Fulcher was guest of
the Windsor Hotel, of which Mr.. Glaze
was fromerly one of the proprietors. He
says that from all the facts of the case
which he was able to learn at that
place, the killing of Trewella by his
pdIbiITI, IldZe, was one or the most de-
liberate and cold-blooded murders of
which he ever heard-Tribune
ESTEE TO HILO.
Judge Estee will come to Hilo for
July 4th, provided he can arrange his
court calendar so that he is able to get
away from Honolulu for a few days

the grafton without any charge or ex-
pense to the Fourth of July committee,
says Mr.. Mckenzie who interviewed
the judge relative to the matter at the
request of the committee on literary
exercises. BY the mail of next Kinau
he will send definite answer to the
request. All who know Judge Estee,
