the deck who was in the launch.

LONDON. Aug, 10 Replying 10 an inquiry
by Earl Spencer, Liberal leader In the House
of Lords, to-day the Marquis of Inns-
downe, Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, said that it had been hoped that the
insurrectionary movement in the Bulgarian
peninsula had been abated permanently,
but this hope had been disappointed.
A serious recrudescence OF the trouble
had taken place last spring, The British
Government readily admitted the claim
of the Austrian and Russian Governments
to deal with the question. but il made re-
servations, however. in case the proposed
measures should fail If they did fail
he did not think that they could he greatly
surprised
The British Government recognized the
fact that it was the duty of the Turkish
Governmen to take energetic measures
for the suppression Of the trouble and to
restrain the troops from committing any
excesses. Advice of that kind had been
given constantly to the Turkish Govern
mont and the British authorities had every
reason to believe that il had been taken
to heart
During the last three days the Govern
ment had received a circular from the Turk
ish Government announcing that con
siderable progress had been made in the
execution OF reforms and in the punishment
and Imprisonment OF soldiers who had
committed excuses. Courts-martlaI for
the trial of the Offenders had been insti-
tutcd in various places

Admiral Cervera's appointment as
Chief of the Naval Staff of Spain ends
the period of Punishment from active
duty which the Admiral suffered after
his return from his detention in Amer
lea. As far as possible he was made
a scapegoat for the sins of the War
Marine at Madrid, bureau which sent
him TO sea with poorly equipped yes
sells, and of Captain General BIanco.
who ordered him to fight superior num-
bers. Time has softened Spanish as
perities, however, and the seIf-sacrific-
ing courf ,e and chivalry of the old
Admiral are beginning to find the appre-
citation at home they have long enjoyed
in the United States. The Spanish
navy may have few ships left but it will
not lack for dignity with Pascual V
Cervera at its head.

GETTING TOURISTS.
EIEgXM

No better work can be done to induce
people to visit Hawaii than that which
was noted yesterday in connection with
the Raymond & Whitcomb Tourist
agency. This organization, the Ameri-
can Cooks" has offices in nearly all
important cities and it issues attractive
folders, advertising tourist resorts and
giving low rates at which parties will be
conducted to them and cared for while
there. For Hawaii it has published
an interesting booklet, with pictures,
tens of thousands of which will be dis
tributed where they will do the most
good.
The advantage of working through
such agencies as those of Raymond &
Whitcomb, Cooks and the general pas
senger agencies of the railroad and
steamship lines is two fold: Increased
publicity and better rates for transpor-
tation. The agencies know where and
how to reach and attract the public.
They waste no advertising and send out
no lecturers. But they get to the peo-
pie through established offices where
travellers go TO ascertain routes and
buy ticketsi through magazines which
reach the pleasure-seeking public and
by means of pictures and advertising
matter hung in depots. Secondly a
tourist agency or railroad agency do
ing regular business, can get rates
for individuals and parties which could
not be arranged for as well in any way
within the reach of Honolulu commercial
bodies. There are, furthermore, many
people who prefer to travel in strange
countries as the guests of a tourist
agency, especially those who are trav-
cling abroad for the first time.
Much money can be wasted in i'm
provident methods of soliciting tour
lists, but money spent in providing
literature to be distributed through rep
utable transportation agencies, usual
Iy accounts for itself, dollar for dol

The custom of binding the feet OF
young Chinese girls originated in a
Iaudable desire IN the part of husbands
to keep their wives at home. 1t was
regarded in ancient days as the hest
preventive of gadding. In time it be-
came a mark of ladyhood. No doubt
advanced Chinese in Honolulu mildly
disapprove the custom but the girls
and women adhere TO it. Japan used
to shave the eyebrows and blacken the
teeth of wives to make the latter unac-
ceptable to society "at large The Gus
tom still obtains in remote districts of
the chrysanthemum empire, but will
eventually disappear. Tradition is
stronger in China and it may be cen
