THE THING DONE ELSEWHERE.
night, | have seen such signs carried
up and down the streets of the cities
l visited, advertising round trip tick
cts to Los Angeles, or Portland, or Sc
attic, and as result, the trains and
boats to these places were crowded.
Every hotel and resort are overflow
ing at the present time with tourists
in and around the cities of the coast.
Such proposition as the above one
is the only practical one to get these
people and their money down here.
AS paying investment to the stock
holders, such an enterprise as I have
suggested, would not only pay good
dividends, but would bring the desired
results.
HAS HAD NO TANGIBLE RESULTS.
The Hawaiian Promotion Commit
tee, or any other styled committee can
not bring about tangible results,
through the methods they have been
employing. The entertainments given
in the States of course amused the
people, and by the enthusiasm dis
played, one would think that they
would take the first boat for Honolulu,
and no doubt many did start, but they
got no farther than the transportation
office, and went home, with only dim
recollections of beautiful palms and
rafnbows and volcanoes. which they
had been told about, all mixed up to-
gether, soon to be relegated to the
shelves of oblivion. But the
Hawaiian Promotion Committee went
on their way to the next town
feeling victorious, but their imagined
victory was like the late Spanish gun
ners who would point their guns some
where in the direction of the enemy
and blaze a big noise, thinking they
had totally annihilated the foe. All
this talk at this end, too. about prop
agandas'' or pomegranates, and small
farms, and fine speeches at social
meetings, is a waste of energy unless
you talk Steamboat" in a practical
manner, like the neighbor of a widow
did when speaking to another neigh
Dor about how sorry he felt because
the poor woman had been burned out.
Yes" said the second neighbor, It
feel sorry about ten dollars worth"
putting hand in pocket, how much do
you feel sorry?"
People of the States know practically
nothing of US here, or how we are
situated, and will not till they can
come here and see and learn. Why,

LOWER FARES NEEDED TO
GET TOURISTS TO COME

Editor Advertiser: From time to
time have read reports concerning the
doings of the Hawaiian Promotion
Committee, relative to the best meas
ures for inducing tourists to visit us;
and as citizen having large business
interests here, l beg permission to offer
few practical suggestions, through
your valuable paper, to the Committee
and all who have the future develop
ment and interest of these Islands at
heart.
During my recent visit to the Coast,
which took me through the greater
portion of the Northwest of the Uni
ted States, I had occasion to travel
over a great many railroad lines, and
found that at least one-half of my
fellow passengers on the crowded cars,
were tourists who had taken advantage
of the cheap rates existing to visit the
Pacific Coast. And this class was
made up of well-to-do farmers, manu-
facturers, and business men generally
from all over the Middle West, and
many of them from the States farther
east.
WHAT EXCURSIONISTS SAY.
I personally conversed with quite a
number of these excursionists, on the
roads, and at hotels where we stopped,
and during the descriptive talks of the
country and things in general, when it
was discovered by my fellow travellers,
that l was from Honolulu. they were
all interest at once, to find out all
about these far away islands, on which
occasions, of course, I did my best to
talk up the beauties of the climate and
attractions here; and then, would fol-
low, generally, the fatal question,
What is the fare to the Islands from
S. F.?'' and when I would tell them
that it was from s135 to $3.50 for the
round trip, their interest would imme-
diately fall fiat" Now these were not
laboring men who were travelling on a
few dollars which they had laboriously
saved up, with barely enough to return
home upon, but were, as I have said,
well to do, many of them wealthy.
Two gentlemen with whom I came in
contact were bankers.
I learned that those travelling from
New York and vicinity. were doing so
on round trip rates of SIS; those from
Chicago and cities near there for $50.
These tickets carried them to S. F. and
return by one of the northern roads,
via Seattle and Portland.
1 can personally testify to the fact,
that most of these tourists stopped at
the best hotels in the cities they visited
and spent their money freely, in buy
ing curios and doing the towns thor
oughly.
1 could say much more regarding the
impressions I gathered from conversa-
tons that listened to, and facts which
came under my personal observation,
but think have said enough to sus-
tain the argument 1 shall herein set
forth.

CLASSES OF TOURISTS.

1t has been said by a few whom I
have spoken to in Honolulu regarding
the tourist question, that 1.-The class of
present rates to this place, are not
those desired" Such assertions should
never come from the practical business
man.
In the first place facts Will prove that
seven-eighths of the tourist travel is
made up of the middle class, before
mentioned; many are successful bust
ness men who have made their wealth
through conservative methods and
shrewd dealing. who have set aside a
thousand or two, to have a long plan
ned round Of pleasure, for themselves
and families; and while they will spend
their money freely, and have the best
when they reach their destinations. are
the very men, on account of their bust
ness schooling. who. when they go into
railroad or steamship office, study
10 save every dollar possible in travel
ing expense.
The Promotion Committee of Homo
lulu might furnish beautiful oil paint
ings and Illustrated catalogues de-
scriptive of these Islands to every
house in the States, and employ spell
binders" to talk up the beauties and
attractions here. but such measures
will avail nothing as long as the high
steamer fares continue

Tendency Of The Times.

The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one OF the most dangerous diseases
that medical men hove to contend with.
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack of influenza igrippe). and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy ras been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grippe In recent years. and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until 1T is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest. then 1t Is
announced that the patient has pneu-
n1onia. Be on the safe side and take
chamberlains Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

TRIBUTES TO RUMBLE.
Sunday Session of the House Held to
Honor His Memory.

Washington. Feb 23.-The house held
session Sunday to pay tribute to
the memory to three deceased mem
beers, the late Representative Tongue,
of Oregon, the late Representative
Rulnple, of Iowa. and the late Repre-
sentative Moody, of North Carolina.
Mr. Moody, of Oregon. presided in the
absence of Speaker Henderson.
Major Lacey offered the resolution
bearing on the death of Mr.. Rumpe
and spoke first in eulogy of decedent.
Mr. Rumple, he said, had shed luster
on the state of his birth, and the state
of his adoption. Born in Ohio. he mi
grated with his family to Iowa. and by
the severest of labor acquired an edu-
cation. Entering the union army as a
private soldier in qthe the civil war,
he rose ito the rank of captain. Re-
turning to Iowa he filled numerous
places of honor, and distinction, al
ways with credit to himself and profit
to those he served. His election to
congress had long been anticipated,
but was delayed from year to year by
local causes. When the honor did H.
nally come to him there came almost
simultaneously with it summons to put
his house in order for the change which
must come to all men.
Mr.. Conner followed Judge Lacey In
tribute to MIR. Rumple. He told of the
private virtues of the late congressman
of his charity. his kindness, his at
fectionate nature and his strong, noble
manhood.
Mr.. Cousins told of Mr.. Rumple's
early struggles for an education, OF his
splendid military record and his later
useful and honored citizenship.
Mr.. Hedge said it had been given to
Mr.. Rumple to illustrate the heroic age
of America. He was a high example
of American citizenship. He did his
duty and faithfully discharged every
trust. His people at home believed in
him and loved him.
Mr.. Rumple was a man of patriot
ism and courage" said Judge Smith.
He served his country for four years
in warfare He was a lawyer of abil-
ity, faithful christian, good neighbor.
and kind and loving father. The over
shadowing characteristic of his nature
was his fidelity to duty. Even In his
last illness he insisted that certain
duties here must be discharged before
he could leave to undergo medical
treatment. He remained too long and
death fastened it's clutches upon him.
He died a martyr to duty"
Mr. Thomas said the influence OF Mr.
Rumple had been impressed upon peo-
pie with whom and things with which
ne came in contact. His life was one
of sterling worth and conscious indus
try among it's chiefest attributes.
Mr.. Haugen referred feelingly to his
deceased colleague, of his great heart.
his unceasing labor for his people, and
his uniform, sunny disposition.
Congressman Thomas, Of Alabama.
and Calderhead, OF Kansas, spoke in
high praise of Captain Rumple.

Asks Venezuela to Pay at Once
the Sum Stipulated In the
Protocol
BOWEN REFUSES THE DEMAND
His Answer Was That the Money Will
be Paid at tho Time Agreed Upon in
Protocol - Reason for Germany's
Action is Unknown But is Considered
Of Some Significance.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The German
government thru its representative
here. Baron Speck Won Sternberg, has
made a request of Mr.. Bowen for the
Immediate payment of the .s5.500 which
it was stipulated in the protocol signed
on Feb. 10, should be paid within thirty
days from that date, as preliminary
to the raising Of the blockade against
Venezuelan ports and the agreement to
send the question of preferential treat
ment Of the blockading nations to The
Hague for determination.
Mr.. Bowen promptly declined to &C
cede to the request, but informed Bar
on Sterberg that as provided in the pro-
tocol the money would be paid to the
German representative at Caracas thir-
ty days from Feb. 10, which would be
ON the 18th OF March.
The reason that animated the Ger
man government in making the request
is not disclosed here, nor is Mr.. Bowen
aware of 1t.
The matter, however, has some signi-
ficance. perhaps, in view of the fact
that the ships taken by the Germans
during the blockade have not yet been
returned to Venezuela.
Rough drafts of these instruments
are already on their way by mail to the
European governments interested, but
there are certains provisions regarding
them about which the ENJOYS desired to
consult Mr.. Bowen.
The protocols are expected to reach
their destinations the latter part of the
week pending which no final steps LOT
their Joint signature can be taken.
