BISHOP WILLIS ON
THE LIVE QUESTION

Editor Administrations paper this
morning contains an anonymous letter.
purporting to be an answer to an arti-
Gle in the Diocesan Magazine. AS the
great majority of your readers have
not seen that article, may l ask you
to give them the opportunity of pc
rusing it in your columns, that they
may the better appreciate the attack
now made upon it. For this purpose
1 enclose a copy of the said article,
which l may observe is criticism of
the memorandum of the S. p. c., which
has already been published In your col
umns.
With regard to this mornings letter
l have only one or two remarks to
make:
l. BY fearing to come out into the
open and firing from behind the rock
of n nom de plume, the writer makes
1t evident that he has not the courage
of his opinions.
2. The principal question he asks,
viz, whether this diocese is an indie
pendent See or merely an ordinary
diocese is absolutely meaningless. The
distinction is unknown in ecclesiastical
polity. In church calendars the dis
tinction is between provincial and
in a province has always been classed
in the Independent group.
3. The ignorance thus displayed of
fiSst principles, is further exhibited in
the abOrtive attempt to make it appear
that the Bishop of Honolulu's jurisdic-
tion is limited in a way no other bish-
ops jurisdiction is, or ever was limited.
The crown of England, in giving per-
mission to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury to consecrate a bishop for a
country outside the British empire, can
only take cogniZance of British sub
jects residing in such country. But
We're it the case, as the writer sup
poses, that Episcopal jurisdiction con-
ferred by conservation is subject to this
limitation. the purpose for which the
permission was given would be defeat
ed.
4. AS voluntary association the
Anglican church in Hawaii is in ex-
actly the same position as every other
diocese of the Anglican communion in
the United States and the Colonies.
8. While the writer appears at the
outset to be presenting n sincere dis
QUESTION on the subject, the personali-
ties in which he, later on, INDUCES,
plainly reveal a very different spirit.
Arrows are shot from behind his cover
in the form OF statements for the truth
of which he cannot produce any little
of evidence. That he finds ii necessary
to resort to this mode OF attack is a
convincing proof that he finds the po-
sition taken in my article to be in
capable of direct assault.

THE ARMY BILL
Is COMPLETED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Just before
6 o'clock today the Senate disposed of
the army reorganization bill The
measure having originated in the Sem
ate, the final question was not upon its
passage but upon agreeing to the SEN
ate amendments. They were agreed to
by vote of 43 to 49, While party lines
were drawn upon the measure, four
Democrats voted for it-Senators Lind
say of Kentucky, Mclaughlin of South
Carolina Morgan of Alabama and Sui
Ivan of Mississippi. Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts,. who was detained at
his home by Illness was paired against
the bill with Senator Spooner of Wis
consn.
The bill has occupied practically the
entire attention of the Senate since the
Sd of January, when it was made the
unfinished business. While the opposi-
ton to it at all stages was vigorous, it
never was bitter. Numerous amend
ments were made to it but in general
the committee was sustained and the
measure, with the exception of the
elimination of the canteen clause, is not
widely different from that reported to
the Senate.
A determined effort was made today
to amend the bill so as to provide
against the sale of liquor in the Philip
pines and prohibit the importation OF
any kind of intoxcants into the islands,
but it was defeated.
A notable speech was delivered dur
ing the day by Hale of Maine. who,
while opposing the increase in the
strength of the army, stated cogently
his reasons for supporting the bill
Every effort to prevent the increase in
the strength of the army was defeated
by a decisive majority. AS the bill orig
mated in the Senate, it will go directly
to the conference committee appointed
by the two branches of Congress.

CHILEANS AS.
LAND PIRATES
They Ask Other Nations to
Help Them Steal
Bolivia.

NEW YORK, Jan. B-A special TO the
Herald from Washington says: Informal
ton has been received from an official
quarter that Chile recently submitted the
astounding proposition to four other
South American governments to divide
Bolivia between them. Peru promptly
rejected the offer, and as a mark of it's
displeasure requested Chile to withdraw
her Minister, Custodlo Vicuno. The atti-
tude of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay
cannot be learned, but there is no expec-
tation, in view of the emphatic refusal
of Peru, that steps will be taken in line
with the Chilean proposal.
Bolivia is weak nation and could
not possibly resist the attack of the
troops of any one of the nations named,
except possibly Paraguay, much less
the united strength of the several gov
ernments named. 1t is believed here that
Chile's proposal to partition Bolivia is
due to her desire to end the alliance be-
tween that country and Peru, in order,
1t is said, that she may formally take
possession of the provinces of Iacna and
africa.

night he did not place $500. one-half In
silver and the other half in gold. in a
buggy and drive to a certain place where
he would find a white lantern, and
there deposit the money. his home would

later at the Red Bud postoffice, by an
unknown man. who had been under sus-

up A TREE
Is Pursued by Hungry
Wolves.
ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE
Rescued After Remaining Four Hours
in the Cold Of a Colorado
Night.

MEEKER, Colo, Jan. 1S.-Colone
Roosevelt enjoyed a parallel for his Sar
Juan experience last evening, the chief
difference being that in this case the
doughty Rough Rider was the subject
of attack and not the aggressor. For
four hours he was kept in n tree by a
pack of hungry wolves, until finally
help arrived in other members of the
hunting party, who had been searching
for him for two hours.
The weather turned colder at Key
stone ranch Wednesday night, which
led Guide Hoff to prophesy the appear
ance of wolves among the stock that
night. Yesterday afternoon Colonel
Roosevelt wandered out alone in the
hope of shooting something before sup
per. He espied a small lion and, in at
tempting to creep up on 1t. lost his
bearings as darkness was falling. He
vainly attempted to retrace his steps,
and the peril of his position became APP
parent to him as he heard the long,
melancholy howl of wolf behind him,
followed by others. He soon became
aware that a pack of fully a hundred
was at his heels.
Several times the Colonel fired at the
approaching horde, but a temporary
stay was all he gained, and his shots
attracted no attention from his friends.
The hungry animals were becoming
emboldened and several jumped at the
hunter but We're driven off. Shooting
again, the Colonel seized the opportun-
ity of Shining up" a tall pine while
the pack devoured their dead comrade,
but in doing so his cartridge belt was
torn from his waist by the stub of a
limb and dropped to the ground, his gun
being lost also in the attempt to regain
the belt.
There was no time to descend, as the
pack was now surrounding the tree in
large numbers, their eyes cleaning
fercely in the darkness. His sx-shoot-
ers yet remained and Roosevelt en-
joyed the melancholy amusement of
killing a few of his voracious foes in
safety. Fortunately he was beyond the
leaps of the more daring wolves, who
sprang, swapping vicously at him.
Darkness came on, and still help did
not arrive. He yelled until he was
hoarse, but there was no reply, and the
cold soon began to benumb him. His
watch apprised him that four hours had
been passed in the tree, when shouts
guns and torches, appeared and soon
dispersed the pack and assisted the
half-froZen statesman to descend from
his perilous position and return to the
ranch for supper and sleep.

BOARD Of
EDUCATION
Book Contract Talked
of Yesterday.
ATTACK ON THE TRUST
Certificates To Be Issued To Teach
ers Receiving Highest
Percentage.

The Board of Education held an in
teresting session yesterday afternoon
at which the question of books and the
book trust were the main questions at
issue. Mr.. Hodgson. representative of
the book concern of ID. G. Heath Il
Company, appeared before the meeting
and submitted a typewriter PROPOSE
ton to supply school books for the
coming year. Mr.. Hodgson proposed to
supply school books OF every class and
description in use in public school sys-
TENS and to grant the usual discounts
{. o. b. San Francisco or place Of ship
ment to the Islands.
The Board was represented by Super
intendent Atkinson, Professor Alexan-
der, II. NJ. Won Holt, f. A. Mott-Smith.
Mrs. w. w. Hall and Mrs Il. w. Jor-
dan. Inspector General Gibson and
Secretary Rodgers were also present.
A few minor matters of routine bust
ness occupied the early attention ofehe
Board. The report of the Committee
on Examinations was submitted and
acted upon. The Board voted that GER
tificates be issued to those receiving the
highest percentages in accordance with
the report. There was a shifting about
of teachers through designations, mar
riages and other means by which it was
necessary to fill the vacancies so
caused.
Mr.. Hodgson was given the privilege
of making the proposition of his house
and explained it to the Board. He eX
hibited a number of books and discuss
ed their superiority. Mr.. Mott-Smith
spoke in favor of the department of ed
ucation submitting to the endorsement
of the Attorney General and agreeing
that the department should supply
books as the Board is doing at present.
There was no second to Mr.. Mott
Smiths proposition and a member said
when the Board came to 1t.
In the opinion of one of the members
there seems no likelihood of the Board
making a wholesale book contract. Mr..
Gum, representing the book trust,
made an offer two months ago to es-
tablish an agency here. The matter
was submitted to the Attorney General
and he took the ground that the de-
partment should purchase it's own sup
ply OF school books, and the matter was
promptly dropped. The contract of the
American Book Company expires next
month. 1t Is stated that the Legisla
ture may pass a law requiring that the
ture may pass a law requiring the
whole matter of the supply of school
books should go outside of the depart
ment OF education.

Board of Health Effect Big Saw
ing In Expense.

The report of the Massachusetts
State Board of Health for 1899, has
been added to the Hawaiian Supreme
Court library. Exhaustive reports of
the boards work are set forth. In
the food and drug inspection, the total
number of samples examined during
the year ending September 80, 1899,
was $500, and the total number exam
ned since the beginning of the work
in 1888, was 107,392.
The expense of the collection and
analysis has been reduced from 2,26
per sample in 1883, to 81 Is in 1893. The
number of prosecutions of offenders in
1899 was AZ. of which number As re-

A Human Fish Net

The natives of Tutuifa, one of
the islands of Oeeanlca, have a
peculiar method of catching fish.
At a gwen signal all the inhabitants
of the village assemble on the sea-
shore, to the number of about 200
persons, each one carrying branch
of the cocoa palm. With these IN
their hands they plunge into the
water aud swim a certain distance
from the shore, when they turn,
forming a compact semicircle, each
one holding his palm perpendic-
ular in the water, thus making a
sort of seive. The leader of the
party then gives a signal, and the
fishers all approach the sea shore
gradually in perfect order, driving
before them a multitude of fishes
that are cast on the sands and
killed with sticks.
The fish are then cooked over
hot Goals and served with bananas
and cOcOanut milk.
The scene is most picturesque
and interesting, the effect being
heightened by the appearance of
the natives, who usually have their
hair powdered white, the warriors
powdered red.
