flag lieutenant, Consul Ravendal and
another consular officer. Mr.. Leish-
man says that the origin OF the
trouble Is not distinctly stated by our
consul. He further says that 1t Is
claimed by the sublime Porte that
conditions at Beirut are again quiet,
and that the force now there is suf-
ficient to guarantee the safety Of the
city.

Cotton's flag lieutenant, and 1t Is pre-

Almanac, April 16, 2OO3-This is
the one hundredth anniversary of
the Pauoa water sell" at 81 ,nolulu,
Hawaiian Islands. In the trausac-
tion the city suffered greatly in the
region OF the j1gular, but preserved
its gullability.
The Advertiser still thinks that
the haokmen's bill conflicts with the
treaty between the United States
and Japan. 1t is evidsnt that the
Legislature holds q d ferent opinion,
the bill having passed both houses
by overwhelming majorities. The
learned attorney who drew the bill
ia not alone in the belief that it is
sound, but other reliable legal OPT
nion thoroughly endorses him, and
Governor Dole will likely find moth.
ing in the measure to stay its enact
ment into law.

THAT PAUOA DIAL.

Unless Wa are greatly mistaken in
his business aud political acumen.
Governor Dole will veto the noto-
rious Psuos water bill and throw
the onus OF it's pass ,ge upon this Ls-
gislature. Buying pigs 10 bags are
usually "sell" propositions The Pau
os water deal is "a pig in bag"
affair. 1t is bundle OF uno srtainties.
The chief executive should prompt
ly see this, and We believe he will.
The whole matter should have been
referred to a commission to inyesti.
gate and report at the next session.
The streets are rife with whisper
ings in regard to this matter, and
and the doings OF some persons
coppected with it are bsiog subjset.

Speaker Beckley rightly spok yes
terday, when he reminded the House
that there were but few days re-
naming and asked members to
place more cor ffience in their COM
mittees; and if not, the next move
would be q vote of want Of conf
dence 10 them and have them
changed, so that business might be
expedited, "for the Chair" be add
u, "has been reliably informed thst
the Governor will not extend the
session, unless he should change his
mind in the meantime" But in the
case OF the committee we are deal
ing with. it has been tardy and has
only waken up at the eleventh hour.
Some little while ago, when the
same committee was attacked for
it's tardiness, the chairman got up
on his quarters and wished to re-
sign, but of course, that was only
boys play. 1t should take it's medi-
cine like a good, obedient child.
But as to placing more conf ience
in q tardy committee, we think that
altogether out OF place and it
rightly observes the non-copfidence
placed upon whatever reports are
presented, and it can't blame any
one but sslf alone. And now, to

that standing committee, but on
others as we'll, including many
special committees, in the latter
inst ances, with msny matters OF
public importance aud moment.
Work has simply been heaped upon
him OF other committees whereby
the work OF Health and Education
has been sccnmulating. Hereto
fore, reports have come in on mat
ters OF education, and yesterday saw
q lot on health, some OF which were
for measures introduced early in
the session aud de,med OF great
moment by the Hawaiia, people,
who are more or less off ,ctsd by
such proposed legislation. BY
holding down those m ,asures affect.
ing the Board of Health, that de-
partment has again escaped another
attempt to reorgan;z> and curtail
some OF it's po owers, aud none other
is responsible for it than this same
Health and E Question committee.
OF course, there is in every stand
ing committee a deputy chair
man. When the chairman
is too busy on other ms.ters, we
think it the duty OF the deputy to
force aud forge the committees
work ahead, if it is so deemed, and
be as we'll as all the members
thereof ara alike responsible for
tardiness in reporting and expedit-
ing the work. The proposition OF
leaving matters to be reported upon

tard progress and delay business
