SHIPPING
MASTER IN FIELD
LEGAL ADVISER WILL
SUPPLY COOKS AND YARDBOYS
FOR MASTER MARINERS.

There Is new shipping master in
the local field. He is the most unique
shipping master that this port has
ever seen. Honolulu has had its Lew
is and Turk, it's Mike Zines and it's
notorious "Crimp" Mccarthy of Nc
Swilligan fame, but the new shipping
master is even more unique than any
of these celebrities. He is a Japanese.
Fred X. Maxine, the well known Jap
anese interpreter and legal advisor OF
the Japs has opened an Oriental EN-
Eloyment office on Merchant treet
within two doors of the police station
He makes a speciality OF SUI plying YES
sells with crews or parts thereof. Any
thing from a cabin boy up to a carpen-
ter or a boatswain is offered. AS yet
Maxine has no masters or mates
awaiting employment, but if vessel
were to be in great need of such an i'm
portant member, he could no doubt Sc
cure some Japanese who would under
take the job.
Maxine has established himself in
the most pretentious Office that local
shipping has ever known. Even the
quarters which Turk and Lewis opened
for a short time on Queen street can
not be compared with the luxury of
Makino's new place. lie has a tele-
phone, roller top desk, a couple of
chairs, a pack of cigarettes and his
name upon the door. The new shipping
master will conduct his business on
somewhat different lines than those fol-
| lowed by the white and more expert
| enced masters of the craft.
He will employ runners to work w
his business. Maxine has made quite
a departure by adopting this line of
| business and there seems excellent
prospect of his success. He certainly
has a large enough field from which TO
| secure his labor. The only question is
how many of the Japanese will rate as
able seaman Operating a fishing sam
pan is much different from sailing in
a deep water ship and climbing up the
smoke stack of a sugar mill is very far
| from qualifying a man to reef a sky
| sail in "a heavy gale. However there

RAILROAD MEN Do
NOT LIKE MEXICO
STUPIDITY OF Poems AND REG
ULATIONS VERY EXASPERATING
NO GRAY MATTER IN MEXICAN.

"Railroading in Mexico has it's pecu-
liar perils to the poems" said a return
ed civil engineer of a construction COM
pany which operates in the southern
republic. You know a peon will stand
at the foot of a hill and watch a de-
tached bowlder coming straight toward
him and not stir until it has hit him,
killing him or breaking a leg or two.
His brain seems to have no gray matter
1t requires five or six poems to lift a
rock that could easily be moved by one
Anglo-SaXOn and their peak-crowned
and broad brimmed hats bump TO-
gether as they strain and heave-ho.
After it is lifted they all shout in their
lingo. Don't let go! If one let's go
then they all yell and drop the stone,
and it hits about five of the mems feet,
as a rule. AS they work bare footed,
the results are distressing
when railroads We're first put
through Mexican territory the curio-
sity of the poems was Unreasonable.
They gathered day or night, along the
track and became a pest and a nui-
sanCe because they We're so ignorant of
the ways of the locomotives that they
often got recklessly on the track and
were MANNED or killed. That sort of
accident is a different matter in Mex
leo from what it is in the States. BY
| the Mexican law, if person is manned
or killed he must await the action of
! the judge of the first instance who may
| be- and usually it, miles distant from
the scene of the accident Until the
judge arrives no one must, under penal
| ty of imprisonment, touch the body, and
a MANNED person may die before medi-
| cal aid can be summoned. | was once
| on a construction train that ran over
and cut off both feet of a peOn. and the
! judge did not reach him until the fol-
! lowing day. OF course, the poor fellow
was dead when the judge arrived.
by the Mexican law also, no one is
| allowed to remove the body of a person
! killed until the judge of the first ms
! lance arrives. This is sometimes awk-
ward. / saw once the body of a
| peon, killed on the main track near d
| station lie there for two days, while
the trains had to go around it by means
of a siding to avoid running over it. In
| those early days of railroading so many
| poems We're killed on the railroads that
the habit of the civil authorities in
locking up engineer, fireman, conductor
and the entire train crew until investi-
cation was made of the circumstances
of the killing that 1t became highly de-
| trimental to the management of the
roads. l have known a locomotive en-
gineer to be in a Mexican Jail for two
months on a charge of running over a
native In time this became eXasperat-
ing. The peon win steal anything on a
track or about a car that is not fasten-
ed down and the railroad men learned
| to hate them religiously.

HILo AND HONOLULU.

WAILUKU, October 4.-The Maui
News says: Were HilO to be judged by
some of the utterances Of its local pa
pers, man from a far country would
pronounce the town somewhat jay in
some of it's prOclivities, notably in the
attitude which Hilo assumes towards
Honolulu. Hilo was quite justified in
kicking, when the big island was really
neglected in the matter of public inn
provements, but when the kicking be-
comes chronic, and takes the form Of
an envious belitting of Honolulu, it
hurts as well as Injuries Hilo. Hilo
owes it as duty to help to build up
Honolulu, which it can well do without
injury to itself. The fact that Hack
field & Co. have written 100000 off
their books is an unfortunate effort to
boom the coffee trade in Hilo and Ha-
wall, is an eloquent reminder of what
Honolulu has done and will do again
for the big island, and an appreciation
of that fact should prompt the Hilo
papers to try to build up rather than
belittle Honolulu.

To fill the vacancies thus created the
e,npress dowager has comm9nl"1 the
Ct mptrollers general Of re imperial
household department to assemble be-
fore her for selection several score of
young girls from families belonging to
Manchu banner organizations Eight
maidens were thus selected in May, out
thrice that number are still required.
Chinese are exempted from this sort of
slavery by special decree of the first
emperor of this dynasty, probably for
policy's sake. Manchu maidens so
selected for the palaces can never
leave them in life and never marry.
Sometimes "a new emperor, taking pity
on these slaves of his predecessor, may
give them permission to return to their
homes or to marry, if any one will have
such middle aged and elderly spin
sters. Otherwise, once inside the pa
lace as serving maidens, they remain so
until death.
