A GOOD BOHEMIAN.
Lee F. Stone, Theatrical Manager, is
Well Pleased With Honolulu.

Among the many guests of the Ha-
waiian hotel is Mr.. Lee F. Stone, the
genial business manager for Miss Flor
ence Roberts. Mr.. Stone arrived in
this city about three weeks ago and
employed his time in perfecting ar
rangements for the performances which
have pleased so many of Honolulu's
citizens.
Nearly twenty years of experience in
this line of work has placed Mr.. Stone
at the head of his profession and gain
ed for him an enviable record through
out the United States as a successful
manager of theatrical companies and
individual stars. Combining with his
business ability good fellowship and
hearty goodwill, he is welcomed as a
prince of bohemians wherever he goes.
1t is to his foresight, coupled with
a courage to venture with his company
where other managers have made fail
ures, that the people of Honolulu are
indebted for a season of drama and
comedy, the quality of which has never
before been equaled in these Islands.
A few days after his arrival in this
city Mr.. Stone had an amusing expert
ence which he relates as follows: Il
had number of posters and showbills
which I wished to have placed in con-
spicuous places about the city and ask
ed one of the natives to do the work
for me, offering him 81 for the work.
I was surprised when he told me that
it was too hot to work and refused to
accept my proposition. The work
would not have taken fifteen minutes,
but as I could not obtain any help 1
was forced to peel off my coat and go
at it myself. Before 1 had finished L
quite agreed with the native that it
was too hot.

Honolulu, H. t., March s, 1901.
Hon. E. p. Dole, Attorney General Of
the Territory of Hawaii
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of even
date, l would state that there is no
foundation whatever for the statement
made by Naihee in regard to his being
compelled to labor as a prisoner serving
sentence, or otherwise; that it was by
his oWl request he was allowed to per-
form Some labor in and about the pris-
on premises; that he was not, at any
time, allowed to communicate or work
with convicted prisoners. The labor so
performed in and about the jail prem
ises was only al his request and in the
interest of humanity. Committed pris-
oners often ask permission to do labor
for exercise. The prison has no need of
such labor, as we have a sufficient num-
Der of convicted prisoners to perform
all the work required in and about the
prison The only cases where commit
ted men have been allowed to work are
those in which they have come to me
and requested it. He was not clothed
in prison garb.
All the foregoing can be verified by
persons employed about the prison.
Very truly yours,
VIM. HENRY,
Tailor Oahu Prison

NAIHEE LIED TO
CIRCUIT JUDGE
Warden Henry Forces the Latter
To Admit His Speech
Mas Foolish.

"HE statement made by the First
Circuit Judge on Thursday when
he pronounced a sentence of one
hours Imprisonment upon one Naihee,
caused Attorney General Dole to re-
quest Immediately an explanation from
Jailer Henry of Oahu prison, as to
whether or not the convicted man had
been compelled to break rocks with 9TH
er convicts while awaiting trial.
Jailer Henry repudiates the First Cir
cult Judges declaration, saying that
whatever work was done by Malice was
at the latter's request and performed Of
his own free will.
The correspondence between the At
torney General and the Jaler is as fol .
lows:
Honolulu, II. J., March s, 1901.
Mr.. VIM. Henry, Jailor Oahu Prison.
Dear Sir: 1 am informed that Malice.
who was convicted yesterday of larceny,
stated in court that, while awaiting his
trial, he was compelled to work on the
streets and otherwise as if he were a
convict serving his term. If this is true,
think the censure of the Court, as re-
ported to me, is just. If it is not true,
justice to yourself requires that the
truth should be made known.
Very truly yours, +. Z. DOLE,
Attorney General.

other countries, it is but natural that

tempt to repay us in kind, we can have
| no just cause for complaint.
There is one thing, though, to which
European statesmen and business men
fail to give due weight when consider
ing what is now termed the American
danger 1t is the circumstance that a
very large proportion of our tremendous
industrial growth has been the result
of causes entirely apart from our COM
mercial policy These causes are found
in the vastness of our continental do
main and its infinitely varied resources.
In the elements of natural wealth the
United States is fully equal to the whole
of Europe, perhaps superior and it is
simply an idle dream for any German
or Austrian statesman to imagine for
moment that his country under any
commercial policy can keep pace with
the United States in the industrial
march. He might as well expect one
European State to keep up with all the
others combined.

ty, but it is unreasonable for her to
think of growing as rapidly as coun-

and probably twenty times as rich in
natural resources. By no possibility
can she do this unless the Americans

justified in demanding that our trade
relations with herself be placed upon
fair reciprocal basis, so that the indi-
vidual German may have an even
chance with the individual American,
but there is no sense in either a Ger
man or Austrian economist talking in
temperately in one breath about the
brute force" of America, and in the
next advertinF to the deftness and skill
o. our artisans.
But conditions in those countries are
at this time such as naturally create
anxiety and ill-feeIing. The prosperity
boom of recent years has broken; their
industries are depressed and stagnant;
their finances are shaky; their markets
are being invaded by trust-controlled
American manufactures. and sold at
prices ruinous to their home Industries

our protective tariff, behind which the

Miles at sea.
An experiment Of great interest to the
lighthouse system of the world is to be
made on the Diamond Shoal fghtship
when she is placed on her station next
December The officers of the Lighthouse
Board expect to project a great thirteen
inch beam of light from the sea to the
sky and visible to mariners from thirty to
forty miles
The cluster of white electric lights now
shown from the masts Of the lightship
has a visibility of only thirteen miles.
1t is expected that shipping passing Hat
teras Will be able to discern the lightship
three times this distance by the powerful
beams Of light playing on the heavens
from a searchlight apparatus arranged
between the two stationary masthead
lights now displayed. The naval secre-
tary OF the Lighthouse Board believes if
the test is successful that it will play a
most important part in the lighthouse
system and will be applied TO all light
vessels of the future.

So difficult and dangerous is the present
system of supplying lightships at a great
distance from shore with coal and water
that the Lighthouse Service has cunsd-
cred the advisabiiity of fitting ships IN the
future with the oil lamp. The electric
lights require dyuamos and large GUAM

Lord Salisbury on the situation.

In accordance with time-hon0red
usage, Lord Salisbury, Prime Minister
Of England. spoke at the LORD Mayor )
dinner in London last Saturday on the
state OF the nation. II is evident from
the language of our dispatches and
from British press comments that the
remarks of the noble marquis were dis
appointing. Indeed, some of our Eng
lish contemporaries do not hesitate to
say that the effort disclosed a sad de-
cadence from the old time mental form
of the aged statesman. The South Afri-
can war preyed upon the mind Of
Queen Victoria, and was perhaps the
proximate cause of her sudden failure
in health and death. Lord Salisbury
too, cannot have been unaffected by the
labors and anxieties incident TO the
same deplorable struggle, and they are
believed to have greatly impaired his
vitality
The speech was almost coloriess. and
not inspiriting in any sense. He said
that, Of course, the Ministry could not
be expected 10 take the public into its
confidence in regard to everything that
was going on, but the forces in South
Africa were cncountering d guerrilla
warfare which they were slowly but
steadily abating. He regretted the
conditions. and said that nothing would
give the Government more pleasure
than to accord to the Afrikander people
the greatest measure of self rule CON
sistent with the safety OF the Empire.
But he was careful 20 add that the
Trausvaalers had been found dangerous
neighburs in the past, and care would
be taken that they should never become
So again.
There is not word in the Premier's
speech to encourage a hope for early
peace. Indeed, nothing of the kind
could have been expected. The war
drags along just as it has for weary
months. Unhappy Boer women and
children in the concentration camps are
