A remarkable feature about the re-
cent trial of the British armored cruis-
er Cressy was the evenness with which
the two sets of engines worked. Dur
ing the eight hours full power run the
starboard engines developed an aver
age of 10,473 horsepower, and the port
engines 10,767, giving a speed of 20.7
knots. At the thirty-hours' coal con-
sumption trial, under four-fifths pow
er, the starboard engines gave S,141
horsepower, the port engines S,129, and
the revolutions of both screws were
114.5 The coal consumption under full
power was 1913 pounds, and LIS
pounds under four-fifths power.

~EDERAL Inspectors of Hulls and
H Boilers Whitney and Lehners re-
turned from Hilo yesterday on the
steamer Mauna Loa, reporting all
vessels at that port in good condition
and having finished their work on the
big Island.
whitney and LehnerS are now buSlly
engaged in looking after the Honolulu
end of the business, and they are al
ready being besieged with applications
for licenses. Let not the inquirer for
captains and mates and engineers on
the waterfront be surprised when he
is Informed that they are not to be
seen, for they will be taking examina-
TONS
The only captain to secure masters
license at Hilo was big Captain NlGhol-
son of the steamer Hawaii. Captain
Mitchell of the steamer Kaiulani did
not take the examination, as he INTENDS
to take it in Honolulu, being about to
come here for that purpose.
Chief engineers licenses were issued
to ]. H Mckee and James Devlin and
assistants licenses to Charles h. steer
and w B. Lycett, all of(the steamers
Hawaii and Kaiulani. r. Nelson and
| G. Enstrom, the first mates of the same
boats, were all given licenses. The
above steamers were spoken very well
of by the inspectors and the Kaiulani,
IWilder's newest vessel, was particularly
approved Besides the Hawaii and the
Kaiulani the inspectors examined the
Mohea. Waiakea, Rover and Lurline
The four latter are small local steam
ers or launches at Hilo. All were found

certificates were accordingly given.
In two or three weeks the inspectors
will make a trip to Kauai in the steam

NOBODY TO SELL TO.

It was an old and favorite theory
Of the Free-Traders that If Amer
leans should insist upon trying to
supply their needs in msnufactur-
ed articles from their own facto-
ries the time would come when
other nations would buy nothing
from US, and 20 the foreign market
for our agricultural products would
be closed. It is, however, some
what surprising to find the Presi-
dent of the National Msnufactu-
rer's Association supporting con-
tention for tariff reduction by adj
vancing q similar theory. He is
reported to have said recently:

tries all the time, and buying no.

should not be partisan question,
since it affects every farmer in the
South. To spin our cotton is to
enhance it's value three-fold. and

we would soon have no market for
our manufactured cottons, but with
the moderate protection we have
had for the past century We would
soon have the fallacy of the charge
that there is no country which will

We had occasion last week to
refer to the Inconsistent conditions
in the cotton market at this place,
in which the bulk of the cotton was
being purchased by the Rousseau
Oil mills at St. Martinville, won
deriug why they could afford to
pay higher prices than at home,
and the additional charge OF
freight. clerk hire. ect. We find
upon interviewing some cotton
gin men here that it is an attempt
to force the gins here to sell their
seed to the St. Martinville oil works.
Their offers were declined, as it
was thought, and justly so. that
the seed should be served for
home enterprise. 1t was stated
that the St. Martin people would
withdraw their buyers as soon az
an agreement to ship seed to st.
Martinville was reached. Our peo-
pie here have been paying higher
prices than those obtained In st.
Martinville, and the prices last
week were simply bluff to force
shipment of seed from this place
and away from our oil mill. That
| much cotton was secured there il
no doubt. The proper thing to do
would be for the cotton buyers
here to invade st. Martinville
and offer more than they have
been paying there, when they
would perhaps stay upon their own
reservation.
The above would have appeared
last week, but could not be obtain.

MAN WHO TOOK ALL.

Evening Post relates his experience at
dinner recently in company with Ar
lists Walden and Whistler, when Eng
land was the topic Of conversation
England said Mr.. Whistler, rules
the world simply because the English
man takes what he wants.
We were rapidly losing ourselves In
fog of politics and natural psychol-
ogy, when Mr.. Walden lifted part Of
his red mustache and said: That's
right, all right"
It was the first time be had spoken
that evening, so we stopped our argu-
ments and listened. Calmly and slow
ly he said:

After a long and unusually mild fall,

II is in vain to speculate on whether
the coming season will be mild or
severe. Weather prophets do not agree
on that point Some hold that an ex-
traordinarily hot summer generally Is
followed by a very cold winter. Others
think that the causes that operated to
make the summer unusually warm,

view. They hold that the slowness
with which the trees are shedding the

Eighty-four Leonids were noted al the
University OF Virginia. despite unfavor-
able seeing conditions, leading Prof
Oliver to hope that the great shower
would yet come. They began to be
numerous OF 1850 a. m, and after that
averaged one minute.
The brilliant display expected for two
years did not occur; still the spectacle
must have been one Of great magnIfl-
cence. and the number OF shooting stars
seen was considerably greater than
that Of last year.
The study Of the stars is very fascin-
ating. Nothing gives better idea OF
the power and wisdom Of the omnlpo-
tence that rules the entire system, or
systems, OF worlds. 1t has been calcu-
lated that there must be perhaps 2oO,-
100000 stars visible through the best
telescopes, and by photography the ez-
lstence Of other millions is revealed, But
1t is known that these are but small
part Of the worlds that are clrcling In
space, since planets that shine by re-
flected light in the far away depths Of
the infinite abyss are visible neither
through the telescopes nor the photo
grapher's plate, TO form an idea. then
of the vas,ness Of the universe one
must consider the millions Of worlds
that fash their brilliant llght TO Us
through the telescope; the millions more
that only photography reveals, and the
millions that are dark, or too small and
far distant TO be seen at all from our
earth. What infinite wisdom 10 con-
struct and guide this vast machinery
The thought that forces itself upon
ones mind at the contemplation OF this
vast creation, was perhaps never bet
ter expressed than by the Hebrew
poet: when consider thy heavens,

the stars, which thou hast ordained.
what Is man, that thou art mindful Of
him? and the son Of man, that thou
vlsitest him?'
1t is curious to contemplate too, that
while the best informed pagan astrono-
mers OF antiquity counted but a few
over thousand stars, In Genesis their
number is compared to sand on the
shores OF the sea. Those who make so
much of the alleged mistakes Of
Moses" have never satisfactorily ac-
counted for this significant fact.

CORONATION AND WAX,

A London paper makes the statement
that the coronation Of King Edward
win be postponed until the war Is
over But IN all probability that Is
only one among the many absurd sto-
rles printed by persons who know moth
ing OF the plans OF the king but who
want TO make II appear that they are
wen Informed The coronation would
certainly be an appropriate oelehra-
ton Of the termination OF the military
operations in South Africa. but II the
end Is not yet In view, the ceremony
viii not be postponed indefinitely on
that account.
When the conflict commenced, the
Beers had an immense store of rifles
and ammunition. accumulated for
years, Much Of this was concealed
IN the mountains, The British, on en-
terng Pretoria. found very little war
material, though It was known that
the Beers had enough stored away to
enable them TO carry on guerrilla
fight for years Besides, they have all
along been capturing railroad trains
loaded with ammunition and supplies,
And as long as they have munitions,
they can carry on the kind Of warfare
In which they are now engaged.
1t would be a gracious act though,
on the rart of King Edward, II he
could, In honor OF the coronation, In
auRurate a new South African policy,
looking toward the establishment OF
peace and tranquility. There can be
no question OF the re-establlshment Of
the defunct republics but the entire
South Africa might be organized into
federation under the British flag. The
Beers then would have practical in
dependence, though under another form,
and Great Britaln's honor would be vim
dicated Some such arrangement should
not be impossible to bring about. As
long as the Beers are offered no alter
native but national humiliation or fight
TO a finish, they viii choose the lat
ter. What they would do, II policy
Of reconciliation were adopted, can be
ascertalned only by practical test.
