BOMBARDED THE
FIRE STATION
BLASTING OPERATIONS HURL
ROCKS THROUGH WINDOWS
AND DOES GOOD DEAL DAMAGE.

The Central Fire station at the cor
al.ei of Fort and Beretania streets, suf-
fered a bombardment this morning and
the force of the department spent an
hour or so sweepong up broken window
glass and coral rock, mud and sand.
For some time a japanese contractor
has been engaged in blasting for a
foundation and basement at the corner
across Beretania street from the fire
station. This morning about $3.50
o'clock, a blast was discharged which
hurled pieces of coral over and through
the fire station and down Fort street
fully 300 feet. One piece of rock hit
the driver of the Chemical on the head,
raising a lump, but not infictng Sc
rious injury. Another big piece of
rock just graZed the driver of Engine
number one, and another piece hit one
of the horses on the head Another
piece of rock passed cler over the
station and landed on the sidewalk be-
tween two little girls who were on
their way to school.
Only one window in the fire station
was broken, but hundreds of small
fragments of coral rock entered the
station through open windows. One
piece of considerable size passed
through an open window and smashed
a wooden locker. In the loggia on
the third floor a good deal of plaster
was knocked off the walls. On the
second floor in all the rooms facing
Beretania street the plaster on the
walls was cracked by the concussion.
The blast seems to have gone off in
the direction of the fire station be-
cause no injury at all seems to have
been done the buildings of the Catholic
mission some of which are much near
er the blast than the fire station is.
1t is said that the blast was near an
old cess pool which gave less resistance
to the blast than the solid rock, so that
the effect was felt in the rock being
hurled great distance.
Chief Thurston Immediately went to
High Sheriff Brown to see If protection
against a repetition of similar accidents
| could not be secured.

MADE MINCE
MEAT OF MIKE
SOMEBODY PUT OUT LAMPS OF
SECOND MATE OF CLARENCE
s. BEMENT so HE WAS FINED.

Mike Murphy the second mate of the
ship Clarence s. Bement got afoul of
the land navigation laws of Judge
Wilcoxs court this morning. Murphy
was ashore from the ship yesterday
and he committed the too common fault
of taking too big a load aboard. In
fact it was dangerous for the sail jr
man to try and navigate with such q
load and as Uncle Heine would say
'he was a headin' due skywards under
shivered timbers and double reef in
the cooks apron"
Murphy ought to have taken a pilot
but he scorned this confession of his
inability to navigate. He got aboard
the vessel without getting seriously
aground. Evidently the liquor that
Murphy had consumed was of the
two bit variety for the mate seemed
to feel his oats or to speak more spe-
cifically felt his barleycorn, and evil
IDENTIFY considered he should take COM
mand of the vessel.
There would have been nothing to
have prevented Murphy from doing so
had the Captain and the first mate
been ashore. Both happened to be
aboard. Murphy wanted to skip two
grades in his promotion to which the
officers objected. The result was a
fight, in which the captain, the mate
and the cook constituted the party Ji
the first part and Murphy the party N
the second part. BY the time tina!
Murphy had been put under sufficient
restraint to call Enough" his face
looked as If the cook had been running
| a slaw cutter across 1t.
Murphy was taken ashore by the
police and this morning was charged
with having been drunk, Murphy s
two lamps had been put out in his
fight and q the ma Sters Of sailing era III
are always required by law to have
| their side lamps burning under penalty
of a fine Judge Wilcox was forced tc
take cognizance of this law. The sail.
ors lamps were out so fine of SO and
costs had to be levied. and no notice OF
appeal to the Treasury Department was
given either.

.FIREMEN VISIT
ALL BUILDINGS
IN ORDER TO BECOME ACQUAINT-
ED WITH THEIR CONSTRUCTION
AND MAKE BETTER FIGHT.

Chief Thurston of the fire department
has recently issued a very excellent or
der to the foremen of the different en-
gine companies. This order is in line
with an order issued by the San Fran
cisco fire department although it was
in vogue in Honolulu before the San
Francisco fire officials took X up
The fOremen are required to make
tours of inspection twice a week to the
various buildings i'm the business Sec
ton of the city. These tours are made
for the purpose of enabling the fore
men to become thoroughly acquainted
with the construction of the various
buildings. The foremen are supposed
to learn the number of rooms, the
number of exits, Railways and all other
details of the construction of buildings.
This knowledge will be of service to
the fire department in fghting a fire
at any of the places. Such knowledge
is absolutely essential for, in addition
to enabling the firemen to know ex-
actly the location of the different rooms
and passageways and doors, 1t enables
them to know exactly the best quar-
ter from which to begin the fight
on the fire.
All lodging houses and public busi-
ness blocks and structures where a
large number of people are apt to con-
gregate or else goods are stored, will
receive special attention from the
foremen.
Chief Thurston inspected the Chi
nese theater yesterday. He considers
that the building has not sufficient fire
protection so has decided to have IL
equipped with some extra faucets and
fire hose which are to be located on
the stage. This building is the theater
off Hotel street near the old Winston
block.

DAY OF TALK
IN THE HOUSE
APPOINTMENT OF DOYLE AS IN
TERPRETER OF JAPANESE DIS
CUSSED ALL THIS MORNING.

The flood gates Of eloquence We're
opened in the House this morning and
the tide lasted all the session. A re-
port from the Judiciary committee on
the appointment of Chester Doyle as
Interpreter of Japanese for the Circuit
Court started the discussion, and a
speech by KumaIae, followed by Aylett
carried the house almost to the noon
hour, and when Chairman Andrade of
the committee began his reply, Aylett,
not wholly Winded, moved a recess,
shutting off the remarks of the chair
man of the committee
The report was to the effect that the
committee had seen Judge De Bolt,
and had been informed by him that
Chester Doyle was the most competent
interpreter that could be secured. Ha-
kuole had been removed for incom-
petence, and the fact that Doyle was
not a translator did not matter for
there never was any need of tTansla-
tion. De Bolt informed the committee
that during his seven years practice

A Disagreeable Subject.

~>->-~-Ss
The bullet headed villain and
outrageous scab who pretends to
be the editor of the Pollock De-
mands, E. l. Stuckey, thinks the
Chronicle truckles in its views and
publishes untrue statements for
pay, like it seems to do. We chaI-
lenge an investigation of every
statement we have made, and hold
that they can all be proved by the
record in any court of justice.
Without attempting in any way to
answer our statements, the De-
mands of the 28th instant proceeds
to evade every issue and turns
aside and indulges in q wholesale
TRADE of personal abuse and vitu-
peration, false and ignorant in it's
conception of facts, and false in
the conclusions pretended to be
drawn. We are not to be turned
aside from our discussion of men
and matters on any such issues.
We stand by every official and pri-
vate act we have ever done in
Grant parish, and are perfectly
willing to be judged by them and
take all the consequences. Can
Stuckey say as much? But these
are not issues at present
1t is altogether disagreeable and
repugnant to rs to discuss anything
with anyone SO lost to decency and
right and We shall not attempt to
do SO. being well satisfied to let the
people of Grant parish judge as to
the truthfulness and righteousness
of our contentious. The murderer
in deed and sentiment habitually
defames his fellows because his
heart is bad and his vision distort-
ed, and no array nf facts can change
his intention and desire to be un-
just and unreasonable at every
turn. He thinks this is brave and
courageous, but we must be par
doned by our readers for saying
we regard it as insolent bravado
and altogether cowardly and con-
and with this statement
shall dismiss the subject as nm
worthy Of further notice.

The Elections Next Tuesday.

The Elections Next TUESDAY.
Next Tuesday will be veritable
day of the ''battle of the ballots. p
Eleven of the States will elect off,
GERS, seven of them entire tickets,
while four of the States will eject
only minor officers. Full State
tickets are to be elected in Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland,
Ohio. Kentucky, Iowa, and Missis-
sippi, while in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Nebraska and Colorado JUS
tices of the upper courts, regents
of the universities and other minor
officers will be elected.
Thus, while our little sstempest
in . teapot" viii be raging in Grant
parish next Tuesday, a battle royal
will be going on in q number Of
the great commonwealths Of the
nation. Don't let the little home
affairs take all your attention, but
remember We each and all have .
part in q great country, and it is
our duty to help preserve its honor
and greatness. And we seriously
fail in this duty whenever we cast
our votes for small men to gil Of
ices of trust and responsibility.

In our issue last week we said.

"The measure OF every mans fitness
for Office is honesty, competency and
efficiency. In two of these particu-
lars Mr.. Jas. A. Harvey, candidate
for Assessor, has shown himself to be
entirely lacking" etc.
Our entire article dealt with Mr..
Harvey'slack Of ability and efficiency
in doing the work of the assessor.
The record bears us out in all that
we have said. He may be ever 10
honest, yet he overlooked more than
400 children in his enumeration this
year, and had to do the work over.
He overlooked 284 assessments that
heshould have put on theassessment
roll last year, and the sheriff has had
to put them on for him. This proves
his lack Of ability and efficiency. We
have made no error and We zee no
rause to retract any OF our criticisms

j be, conducted with the utmost
fairness aud impartiality. The men
who receive a majority of the votes
cast will be entitled to the support of
every Democrat who is honorable
and true to his principles. Any act
OF unfairness by the officers holding
the election would be crime against
society and reproach to the party.
