WITH EELS.

There was an exciting and very un-
usual combat on the deck of the steam
er Noeau last Tuesday night while she
was lying at Kukuihaele. The chief
engineer caught two marine cells. one
of them was feet 4 inches in length
and the other feet inches long. The
cells were laid out on the deck and the
engineer struck the larger one on the
tail to see if the fellow would fight.
Instantly the eel reared up and start
ed toward the engineer then seeing the
other eel lying close, darted forward
and grabbed it by the body. The small
er eel wound itself around the Shiny
body of its assailant and in turn sunk
it's teeth into the body of the larger eel
Then ensued a desperate battle.
The cells were soon a writhing, wig
Cling, squirmng struggling knot that
tied, united and retied itself into all
combinations.
The officers and crew of the vessel
watched the fight for fully five min
utes. Finally the larger eel caught the
other by the head and crunched the
bones of the other creature. Even this
injury did not cause the battle to stop.
The men had to separate the combat
ants and declare the fight a draw

ENEMY
OF THE TUA-TUA
AN INSECT WHICH is DESTROY
ING THE SHRUB AS IT GROWS AT
THE EXPERIMENT STATION.

The Tua Tua seems to have other
enemies than the board of Health.
A bug of a variety yet undetermined,
it has just been discovered is attack
ing the plants where they are growing
at the Planters Experiment station,
Wilder Avenue and Makiki street.
The discovery was made a few days
ago by the director of the experiment
station and was reported by him to
Commissioner of Agriculture, Wray
Taylor yesterday. Taylor cut several
sections of the shrub which showed the
raVages of the bug and contained the
larvae and brought them down to Prof.
r. G. i. Perkins, the entomologist for
identification.
The bug is about half an inch long with
long antennae. 1t is of a dirty brown
ish, black color, and very active. In
the larvae stage it seems to burrow It.
self in the heart of the stems of the
shrub and judging by the looks of
things is very destructive to the plant.
OF about twenty-five shrubs of the Tua
Tua at the Planters experiment sta
ton, about five of them have died
within a very short time from the at
tacks of this insect whatever it is.
The Tua Tua was sent here by the
United States Marine Hospital with a
request that it be planted and propo-
gated and experiments made as to its
alleged leprosy curative properties DR..
Carmichael who was the Marine Hos
pital Service representative here at
that time notified the Board of Health
of the matter and secured the slips sent
to be planted at the Planters expert
ment station where it seemed to thrive.
Some desultory experiments were made
with it under the direction of the Board
of Health and then it seems to have
been neglected until a few months ago,
stories of cures made by it in Tahiti
brought it into notice again, and re-
newed experiments were made with it,
Slips were sent to the leper settlement
and planted there, and quite guam
tity were planted in the Governmen
Nursery on King street.

CHESS EXPERT.

Pillsbury the American chess expert,
is called the greatest second chess
match player in the world. He has the
habit of generally finishing second in
a match. If Lasker is entered, Pills
bury will be second to him, but if Las
ker is not entered, Pillsbury, who, bar
ring Lasker, ought to be first, will con-
tinue to end second to some player of
the second class He has thus been
second in more chess matches than any
other expert. Only once did he take
first place, and that was in his first in
ternational contest.

BARK FOULS ANCHOR.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 13.-
The bark Alden Besse, which arrived
last night from the Hawaiian Islands,
got her anchors into a pretty mess as
she rounded to off Meiggs wharf The
stopper on the starboard cable carried
away at the 45-fathom shackle struck
it, and the entire length ran free. To
save her the port anchor was then let
go, only to foul the chain that was out
on the other side, and in this helpless
condition she was being rapidly set IN
shore by a westerly wind and strong
flood tide-the causes of all the trouble
when a tugbOat reached her and put
her into a berth.

THE WORLDS GOLD SUPPLY.

The editor of the European Hcono-
mist, discussing the outlook, says:
Europe rejOiCes in the Anglo Boer
peace. The cost of war has been borne
by the whole of Europe and has seri-
ousy interfered with it's material in
terests for the last three years. Eng
land is the clearing house of the world
exchanges. The consequence of the
Transvaal war was to take from the
market the 81, 600 monthly supply of
gold which came from South Africa
and which acted as a compensating
balance to the gold which has been al
most exclusively retained since 1866 by
the United States. The gold output of
the world has increased largely since
1895, but Europe has not received it's
proportion of the benefit. Between 1891
and 1895 European nations absorbed
something like G16S $4,000 in gold, plus
e12, 400, 900 which had been drained
from the currency of America. Be
tween 1896 and 1900 the gold for the dis
pOsal of Europe has fallen to $50 49,
600 This was the result of the closing
down of the Rand mines, the gold de-
mands in British India, the introduce
ton of the gold standard in Japan, the
restoration of the finances of some of
the South American states and the war
requirements of the British Govern
ment. This produced a monetary con-
traction on the Continent leading to
financial crisis in the principal mar
kets. With the resumption of work at
the Rand mines this situation will inn
prove. BY the early part of next year
the gold output of South Africa should
exceed G10,00O,OOO, and in 1904 the total
should reach G25.000,0O0 raising, per-
haps to e 100000 in 1906"

BIG GIN DAMAGED.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-With one of
her thirteen-inch guns scanned and
corroded and the breech out of order,
the battleship Indiana went into action
in the recent maneuvers, and now she
is promised a long season of rest while
the gun is removed and replaced, a
proceeding that will occupy much time
and involve much expense.
The defect was discovered when the
members tried to fire the gun. At first
it was thought that the militia was to
blame, but a thorough examination to-
day showed the defect to be of long
standing.
Another six-inch gun has also been
found to be out of order, the muzzle
having expanded.

CIVIL SERVICE.

The latest controversy in the civil
service at Washington involves par
ticularly delicate question. The head
of one of the divisions of the bureau
of printing ventured to order young
woman to change the style in which
she did UP her hair. The superinten-
dent says the way she wears 1t inter-
feres with her work. The young woman
retorts that it is the most becoming
way for her to wear it, and that the
United States government can't make
her change it.

THETIs RUNs ASHORE.

SEATTLE, Sept 1S.-A special to the
Observation-Disclosures says:
The fact developed here today that
the reason for the early return of the
revenue cutter Thetis is that the yes
sci was ashore during a recent visit to
Nushigak River, in Alaska, sustaining
such damake that Captain Healy hur-
ried down here, where the vessel could
go on dock for the purpose of eXamin-
alton. She was "hogged," that is, her
hull was bent from shape, necessitat-
ing a repainting of the water line here.

forthcoming today of the report that
the hull of the Shamrock III viii be

bronze, as i'm the case of the previous
challengers. The new yachts design
does not differ materially from those Of
the previous Shamrocks, although there
is some divergence from the old lines
forward. The new boat will not be so
costly as the Shamrock II.

CoTILLON VERSUS POLO.
Dancing at Night Spells Game Next
Day.

Day.
The polo on Saturday proved quite
conclusively that cotillons overnight
are not conducive to good polo the next
afternoon. The Blues won but the dis
play was very tame. The men were all
tired out at the end of the third period
and the ball seldom broke away from
the scrimmage. The new style of
throwing in the ball was adopted and
resulted in some pretty scrimmage
work.
The ground was very bad in spots the
Diamond Head goal having bad patch
in front of it that was a veritable
Slough of Despond to the players act
ign like bad sand bunker at golf. 1t
was also very dusty Dole was most
successful in getting the ball out of this
bad ground, using a square mallet and
lofting the ball with heavy stroke at
the ground Immediately behind the ball.
There was a fair attendance of car
riages Single tried out a new pony
which failed to show much promise.

AN IuPROHPTU CORONATION.

From The London Chronicle
The seekers after presidents for the coronation
seem to have overlooked the curious sort of i'm
promptu coronation in which His Majesty King
William " figured. Things did not go very We'll
with Earl Grey's government after the second
reading of the first Reform bill had been carried
. by a majority OF in 1881. and one Friday in
April they suddenly got the King TO go down and
prorogue Parliament IN person Somepody went
off TO the Tower to fetch the crown and with n
scratch body attendants. his majesty drove down
TO the House OF Lords. What happened there is
described in Greville's Memoirs: THE King
ought not properly to have worn the crown, never
having been crowned; but when he was in the
robing he said to Lord Hastings: Lord Hast
ings I wear the crown where is t?' 1t was
brought to him. and when Lord Hastings go
ing to put it on his head he said: Nobody shall
put the crown on my head but myself He put it
on. and then turned To Lord Grey and said Nov,
my lord the corona ton is overt The crown did
not fit very we'll told, but the proTog alton
successfully effected.
