THE SUBLIME PORTE.

The sublime porte is the French
translation of the Turkish term "babi
aale.'' "Babi' means door and "aale"
superior. Every government seat in
Turkey is called the door" because
the door of every office is supposed to
be open to those who seek justice and
redress. The most important of all
government offices, that of the grand
vizier and the three principal minis
ters of state, is known as the sub
lime porte" The other government
offices are not all in the same locality.
and are merely referred to as the
door" The council of ministers sits
at the sublime porte under the presi-
dency of the grand vizier, and in this
way the government of Turkey has
come to be known as the sublime por-
te.' Nowadays the sublime porte is
merely a name: the seat of the real
government of Turkey is in the Yildiz
Kiosk, the sultan's palace. The work
ing expenses of this extraordinary
palace and it's surroundings are said
to be $4,000 a day.

I went to the Dewey, as have gone 10
the Paloma and other boats in trouble
as I believe it is the duty of every
yachtsman to do. and, not as the Bui-
Ierin would make it appear, as seeking
TO secure facts to reflect on Commodore
Macfarlane's seamanship.
The Bulletins statement that Mr..
Hebron was the only one taking an in
terest in the affair outside the crew Of
the La Paloma is not borne out by facts
besides casting inference on the sports
manlike qualities of Port Captain L. de
L. Ward and other yachtsmen who were
most interested in the damage done.
Some forty people who came up from
the Peninsula yesterday knew of the &C
cident and it was the topic of the day.
Four of those who came UP on the
train assisted in giving the Advertiser
details of the occurrence. Considerable
fun was also anticipated in listening to
the blame being cast upon the boat at
anchor, exactly the line of defense pur-
sued, although the Advertiser refralned
from commenting upon the prophecy.

"A BREACH OF
CONFIDENCE
Bulletin Breaks a
Pledge of
Silence.
It's Promise Made to
Yacht Owners Is
Ignored.
La PaIoma's Tansle With Dewey
Witnessed by Many at
Peninsula.

In reading the Bulletin Macfarlane
account of the La Paloma accident both
Messrs Hebron and Dunn, who are per-
sonally mentioned in the article as hav-
ing made certain statements at the re-
cent club meeting of the Hawaii Yacht
Club, feel that the Bulletin has commit
ted a breach of confidence in publishing
and Commodore Macfarlane in dietat-
ing its article. 1t was agreed at that
meeting not to air the affairs of the
club and to keep further mention than
that of the one motion passed, out of
the paper. To this the editor of the
Bulletin, who was present, agreed as
did the Advertiser representa- tive. The
Advertiser has sustained the confidence
reposed in it's promise.
Allan Dunn says: Il made no state
ments at the meeting concerning the
Helene's flag or her life buoy or any
disqualifications attached to that ves-
gatta Committee such was my privi-
lege. Any statement coupling my name
in this fashion is incorrect as Mr.. Whit
ney of the Helene or any responsible
member of the club present can attest.
"a promise was made at this meeting
by Mr.. Harrington for the Bulletin and
by the Advertiser representative in
Difference to a motion, that the press
would not publish or be informed by
any present, of what passed in the
meeting beyond bare statement of the
motion calling the race off. This prom
ise has been kept by the Advertiser and
was undoubtedly broken by Mr.. Mac
farlane and Mr.. Harrington in yester-
days Bulletin
T. w. Hebron says: "In reading over
the Bulletin article it appears that both
Mr.. Harrington and our Chief Exec
utive have committed a breach of con-
fidence by reference as to what took
place at our club meeting. So far the
Advertiser has refrained from mention
ing anything except authorized state
ment. If they want the Waialua in
cident brought before a stronger light
than the Washington's the reading
might not be altogether pleasant to it's
agent or those seeking to espouse his
cause.
Referring to what he says about my
interest in the wreck, would say that
after seeing the Deweys mast gone, l
rowed over to investigate and see if
there was anything to be done to avoid
further loss of property. Without go
ing on board the wrecked Dewey. it
would appear that the hull must GER
tainly be damaged in a collision that
would take her mast out, and in this
case she would probably be leaking and
liable to sink if not beached at once.

REMARKABLE HANGING IN
CONGO.

A remarkable story comes from the
Belgian Congo. A native of the Ba-
soka tribe was to have been hanged for
cannibalism, and during his imprison-
ment was SO worked upon by the
representations of the missionary
chaplain as to the happiness of the
world into which he was about to en-
ter that the negro offered to hang
himself out of hand to get there This
sporting offer was not accepted, and
the negro was hanged by ordinary
procedure. After hanging about ten
minutes the doctor pronounced the cul-
prit to be dead, and the body was be-
ing carried to the cemetery by four
natives when, almost at the gates, it
sat bolt upright and began discoursing
of heaven to the bearers, who fled,
dropping their burden. The man then
walked into the cemetery, sat on a
grave, and when soldiers came to seize
him again he inquired whether they
also belonged to heaven, and when he
could obtain something to eat. He is
now in Jail again, while the question
of his re-execution is being considered
at Bona.

'erable other portion is given over to
tening stock There stil remains an
enormous afplus after that, however,
and it is the success with which the
Germans have met in turning this sur
plus into manufactured products that ia
most remarkable.
Among these manufactured products
are starch, glucose, potato -four, dextrin
and starch sugar, each Of which ap-
pears prominently on the list Of German
exports, all together contributing large
sums every year to the profit Of German
manufacturers and exporters. But the
alcohol which the Germans make fronf
the potato is the most valuable and won
derful product of ali. This is light
produced that fairly rivals the electric
current, It is said.
The apparatus for its practical use IN
cludes lamps, chandeliers, street and
corner lights, in which alcoholic va
pOr is burned like gas in a hooded flame,
covered by a Welsbach mantle. So used.
potato alcohol is described as burning
with an incandescent flame equaling the
electric light in brilliancy. Indeed, we
are oiicially told now by our consul gem
eral at Berlin that potato alcohol is
competing with gas and electricity with
increasing success every year.
In the problems Of heat and powerpro-
duction, too, the lowIy potato has been
brought into use, and the alcohol from il
has been applied to Warming and cook
ing stoves. to steam locomotives, to
thrashing, grinding, fuel cutting and
other agricultural and mechanical appli-
ances. The advantages said to be found
in It's use are immediate readiness for
operation; dispensing with coal, water
and a fireman; freedom from odors and
danger Of fire, and greater economy OF
maintenance. Possibly there is some ex-
aggeration in these claims. But figures
given plainly show that the potato, as
cultivated in Germany, has produced
real competitor for at least benzine and
petroleum for motor purposes.
