THE NATIVE MUSIE OF HAWAII

THE NATIVE M USIS, OE FLA w All. In long Pacific voyage people who are destined to be two or three weeks together in the same ship and at the same table sooner or later conclude to
 make the best of the situation, and one and all bring out their store of amusement or accomplishments for the
 common benefit.
 It is to this that we owed, on an even ing that will always be memorable the privilege of listening to same Ha- waiian songs accompanied by a running commentary, both descriptive and his torical, to which I am bound to say I am indebted, in it's larger suggestions for the outlines of this paper. The sing CT and performer-for he was both. was an American gentleman whose name. if I were at liberty to record it here, would be familiar to many Amer ican ears; and he brought to his task a rare and most individual charm. He was born in Honolulu, of an ancestry identified with the earliest missionary history of the Sandwich Islands, and he united himself the fine insight of his New England forefathers and the sum- nv vivacity of Oahu. The instrument which he used was a primitive guitar consisting of wooden bowl with metal strings across it's open face; the notes were produced by q manipulation analogous to that of banjo; and along with this he undertook to give brief history of the evolution of Hawaiian music.

FOR JRAINING SAILORS.

The United States navy is much in need of efficient sailors, Secretary Long has been driven to extremes in order to furnish the various ships in commission with proper crews. Only during the excitement of war times was the authorized force up to the limit. Spain there has been a great shortage of enlisted men in the navy, and at the 1,200 vacancies. The result has been to keep the detail officer at the Navy de- partment continually figuring in order to fill out the complements of the va-

rious ships. The enlstments at the re- cruiting stations have been so slow that during the past two years the navy has rasorted to the scheme of educating green hands in the arts of the sailor, Recruiting officers were sent through the middle western States to pick up farm hands and others who were willing to adopt the life of the sea, They were shipped to the coast and put on board of vessels especially equipped for training purposes. These vessels took long voyages so that the new men could get their sea legs and pick up some of the practical tricks of the trade. At the present time there are five ships engaged in this duty. They are all wooden vessels of consid- erable age and are often sent to the navy yards for expensive repairs
 Rear Admiral Bowles. chief naval constructor, believes that it would be wise to put modern sailing vessels in the places of these ships and he will accordingly recommend to the Presi- dent that small fleet of steel ships be constructed for this purpose. The pro- posed sailing vessels will be of steel and designed somewhat on the lines of the Chesapeake, although they will be much larger. Accommodation will be provided for about three hundred men.

NOT ENCO URAGlNG.

Perhaps it will be discovered that
 some things which are desirable and
 which seem feasible can't be done. The report comes from New Zealand that industrial conditions there, growing out of legal restrictions on the hours of la bor, arbitrary rulings concerning rates of pay, brought about by the system of compulsory settlement of labor difficult ties, the taxes imposed for old age pen sions and the like, are by no means en- couraging to the industries of the col ony It is said that manufacturing es- tablishments cannot support them selves, for the reason that the cost of production under these various condi- tions is much greater than in other and competing countries. The trade which New Zealand formerly had with vari- been to quite an extent lost because the producers in other countries could supply the needs of the purchasers at much more favorable prices than those which could be profitably named by merchants of New Zealand. Large quantities of American manufactured goods are now sent to the colony, and to some extent take the place of com modities that were formerly made by the colonists themselves.
 This will not be encouraging to those who have hoped that New Zealand was about to solve many problems that sadly need solving.

Russia Is abolishing the classic lan- guages in her public schools. The &eachers' commission, under the presi- dency of General Vanovsky, has pre- pented it's report to the Emperor, and in three or four years Greek will entire- gIy disappear and Latin no longer be ob- 1fgatory. Classical schools are, howev- Ser to be opened in university towns. The new regulations meet with almost general approval. French and German are both made obligatory; more atten- tion will be paid to geography, history and literature, and more time devoted to the physical training of the boys. The Czar, after signing the ukase, sub- Initted 1t for further approval to the head of the holy synod and the metro polltan.

Chairman McNary of the Massachu- Hetts Democratic committee, speaking of the effect of the Presidents death upon the fail campaign, said that it would prevent to material degree criticism of the foreign policy of the administra tion. The minds of the peo- pie have gone out toward the President, and he is held in genuine respect. Hence no political party could take is- sue with advantage upon the wisdom or Justice of his foreign policy.

KILT1Es IN BRIDGEPORT.

Company of Scottish New HaVeners
Going Down to Hear the Great Band
at the Park city This Evening.
Not FOR many a day has a musical
organization Of any kind struck the
musical community of New Haven to
such an extent as did the famous band
of the Forty-eighth Scottish Highland
ers under Bandmaster Slater when
they appeared at the Hyperion theater
in this city last Tuesday. AS is well
known they performed to a crowded
house who so much appreciated their
talent that it was with considerable diff
ficulty that the gifted conductor could
appease the great audiences desire for
more of the good things that Mr. Slat-
ter served up to them. Every piece was
not only encored, but several of them
called forth three and even four repe-
titions. Not content with hearing them
once and knowing that the band can
not again appear in New Haven during
the present tour, many Scottish New
Haveners and others propose going to
Bridgeport this evening by the 7:lo
train to hear the performance at the
Park City theater.

Mr. Farland is well known to the banjo

discovered hitherto unknown POSSIBLE
ties in the banjo and taught It to give

the most wonderful instrumental per-
Torrance in this line ever known" He

simply marvellous"

A delightful Occasion but Poorly AT
tended.
Mrs. Morris Blacks postponed recital
came off yesterday afternoon at Harfno-
ME hall, The attendance was lament
ablv small, probably on account or the
unpleasant weather. The audience was
however, of excellent quality, and atom
cd for it's grievous sparseness by gen
erous enthusiasm Mrs. Blacks voice
showed the effects of her recent mas
nosition to a certain extent, but the
charm and graciousness Of her style
were as enjoyable as ever. She mas
mich refinement and taste, and is ORA
matte within the limits of her vocal
equipment. Her programme was broad
in SCOPE and served to satisfy the de-
mands for catholicity of inception IN
song writing which the public requires
of a singer nowadays. With the aid OF
Weston Calls, who furnished ade-
ouate and sympathetic aceompani-
nents she realized fully the require
ments of the programme and at the END
added Nevin's "There Little Girl, Don't
Cry" The songs that might be espec-
tally commended over the old provence
melody, were two Rubenstein songs, the
Strauss "Serenade" and liar Lult'
which perhaps always are most eftec-
tive songs.

for further action by the British gov

Secretary Hay carried the communi-
cation to the white house to talk with

walls that there will be no immediate
action looking toward the negotiation
of treaty. 1t is stated that there is
no hurry, even in the event that 1t shall
be decided to invite Great Britain to
Join in fresh negotiations as to an 18TH

radical change in the situation.
