Beckley Causes Kicks.

| There were several people among the
passengers who arrived from Hilo and
way ports on the Kinau on Sunday who
have been kicking ever since at the ac-
ton of PurSer Beck1ey of that vessel, in
holding the Kinau for almost twelve
hours at Lahaina while former Queen
Liliuokalani and her party We're enter
tanned by friends ashore
1t was all right for those who were
members of the party which attended the
luau, but for those who had to wait all
that time aboard the steamer before
they could get away it was anything but
pleasant. A capitalist from Portland
had the biggest kick coming, and sug-
gested that possibly, in the near future,
there might be steamship company in
these Islands which would pay more at
tention to the comfort and pleasure Of
passengers, and which would not allow
an autocratic purser to be the whole
thing aboard one of it's boats.
Someone very wisely suggested that
perhaps a reason for the kicking at the
delay of the steamer at Lahaina, on the
part Of those of the passengers who had
to remain on board while the luau was
In progress, was that they were not in
vited to the feast and were feeling very
sore as a consequence. This, however,
does not change the fact that the vessel
was detained for half a day and that she
did not arrive in Honolulu when she was
expected, not coming into the harbor
until Sunday morning instead Of on Sat-
urday, at noon, and that, besides the
business of various people being inter-
fered with, many were unable to attend
church on Sunday morning Purser
Beckley was asked If he could allow the
Queens party an hour at Lahaina, and
he answered that they could have ten
hours If they so desired. The party took
him at his word and the vessel was held
for almost half a day. Beckley said that

The Nlihau in Trouble.
The Inter-Island steamer Niihau start
ed out for Kaunakakai yesterday after
noon but soon after passing out of the
channel she was observed to suddenly
stop and then the sound of her whistle
was heard-a danger signal
II was thought at first that the steamer
had gone on the reef and then it was
seen that she was on the outside of the
bell-buoy and she could not very well re
on the reef in that position.
The tug Fearless hurried to the assist
ance of the vessel. 1t was found that
the machinery of the Niihau had broken
down and that she was unable to pro-
coed on her journey. The captain of the
Island boat informed Captain Brokaw of
the FEARLESS. however. that the trouble
would be remedied in a short time and
that the Niihau would continue her trip
to Kaunakakai about midnight
With that the Fearless left the vessel
and returned to port.

No Lookout on Leah.

The absence of a lookout at the Dia-
mond Head Signal Station on Saturday
night was the cause of the Mariposa,
which made such a splendid record from
the Colonies to this port, losing cou-
pie of very valuable hours. AS no ar
rangements had been made at the signal
station for the new man, he was permit
ted to remain at his home in town on
Saturday, and no one was on the lookout
for steamers or other vessels.
The Mariposa was off the harbor at
S:45 Saturday night, but it was almost
midnight before she was alongside the
wharf
Pilot LorenZen boarded and anchored
the steamer at $40, then returned to the
pilot-house and notified telephone head
quarters, a little before II o'clock, that
the Mariposa was off port. He then rang
up DR.. Amesse, who hearing that the
vessel had arrived off port before 9
o'clock, went aboard ard made his in

Landing of I. 5. Marines Explained

Washington, Nov. 25.-The action
taken by the United States in landing
marines and protecting the line
across the isthmus is in conformity
with the wishes of the Colombian
government, and follows a specific re-
quest recently made by Mr.. Herran.
The Colombian authorities are fully
aware that if they retake Colon it
must be through their own efforts,
and without the hope of any assist
ance from the American forces on
the ground, as this government is
scrupulously holding aloof from the
political contest between the govern
ment and the liberals.

following particulars have been pub

spondent of the Journal and Adver-

1t seems that before his marriage
Prince Henry lived for a time at
pace beyond his means, and,
consequence, fell into the hands of
money leaders. The debts he con-
tracted in those days were to be set
tied after his marriage with the rich
young queen, and quite recently Hen
ry made a clean breast of the mat
ter TO her. Upon learning all the par
ticulars. Queen Wilhelmina declined,
point blank, to pay her consort's
debts, the result being that a very
violent scene took place between
them, and which ended in Henry rush
ing away to Germany and Wilhelmina
being i'll.
1t is said that only the most implor-
ing kilograms sent to him by the
queens mother, Queen Emma, in
duced Henry to return to Holland.
The queens mother is anxious to
preserve appearances at least. Since
his return to Holland, Henry was not

queen is.
As proof of the serious character of
the queens illness, in spite of all re-
assuring reports to the contrary,
NAV be mentioned the fact that the
recent official Gazette did not coz

is an unprecedented state of things.
