HAWAIIAN AND PORTO RICAN
POSTAL BUSINESS COMPARED

Railway Mail Service Inspector Geo.
W. Carr OF the local postoffice, in max
ing comparison between the postoffice
work of Hawaii and Porto Rico, shows
that Hawaii has the advantage, both in
less expenditure OF money for transpor
tation, and in greater receipts.
For instance Porto Rico has much
larger population than Hawaii. Her
star routes number 81, covering SAC
miles, with 10000 miles of annual travel,
the expense being $3o,So6.o7.
Hawaii on the other hand has ~ star
routes, sol miles in length, with I6o,4S3
miles to travel annually. This is &C
complshed at an expense of SIo,6oS.
Porto Rico's other services are as fol-
lows:
Steamboat-No of routes, 2 ASIA miles
in length; annual pay, $4,000.
Railroads. routes: 113 miles in
length; 7o,o23.S4 miles annually to travel;
annual pay, s4,S5S.o6.
Hawaii's services are as follows:
Steamboats, routes; miles length
I3,oSI annual travel, 444,642, miles; an
nual pay, 100000.
Railroads. routes; miles in length,
1903: annual travel, Io5,IS4 miles; an

The question of the club joining the
National Oarsmen's Association was
referred to the board of directors.
A Social committee of three was

result of the balloting was as follows:
w. II. Soper, T. A. Hayes, ]. A. NJ
Johnson, Mr.. Ewart, Il. A. r. Ross.
The question arose of whether the
club should row at Pearl Harbor or in
Honolulu harbor. Mr.. Wilder said
the directors had discussed the matter.
The clubs We're losing money going to
Pearl Harbor. There was a heavy
expense attached to having men train
at Pearl Harbor. The railroad COM
pany had not been willing to make up
deficit which accrued to the club.
1t was stated that the Healani club
did not favor going to Pearl Harbor.
The only thing lacking was that there
was no course in Honolulu harbor
A committee was appointed to confer
with a committee to be appointed by
the Healans to discuss this matter

Special Officer Renear has had entire
charge of the case of Asa. He captured
him at the outset and has been busv
every day for nearly two weeks in call
ing at the places where the Jan has
been made to confess that he delivered
stolen goods. Renear had to do some
great sweat box work before he could
make the Jap give up the story of his
robberies, but has managed to get If
out or him little by little, and in a cou-
pie or weeks hopes to have Asa's con-
iederate In the tolls. The little Jan
mas lost great amount of weight
since his arrest. The police have kept
nm locked in a cell alone and he has
not been fed entirely on sweetbreads,
but yesterday Renear relented 10 some 8
extent and took the Jap to a cafe and
gave MIN royal feed. He also took
MN TO Japanese barber shop and per-
hhtted MN to secure shave and hair
cut This pleased Asa so much that
ne at once told Renear of a large num-

ceeds OF his robberies could be secured
and Renear will go after these at once.
Under the circumstances a number of
people who have purchased things at
small prices from a Japanese will not
be surprised to receive callers from
the High Sheriff's Office today.

There can be little doubt of the
fact that the s'neutral" nations of
Europe, neutral In the sense of not
being quite ready, are preparing for
the inevitable. 1t is Inevitable that
other nations than are now engaged
will ultimately be engaged in the con-
fict. The neutrality of China even
now isof the baldest type, and the
peculiarly Russianesque request of the
Car to his people TO be ''patient un-
Til the army is ready to strike blows
worthy the dignity of Russi" can not
be otherwise taken than as a menace
TO England-and England is not of
the stuff to take a menace or a Care
unanswered.
The activity displayed in her arse
nails and dock yards is the subject of
severe comment in Russian papers,
and the French press adds to the in
terest by the statement that English
manufacturers of fixed ammunition
have been working double shifts elnce
Christmas. Undoubtedly there is
truth in the statement. II did not
require the highest military skill nor
the most trained diplomatic art to
foreSee, from the day of the terms of
peace between Japan and China, that
there was merely a pOStponement of a
great conflict of which the incidents
at Port Arthur and Chemulpo are but
the prologue.
Even Spain is making ready. Her
Minister of War, admitting that the
conflict does not concern Spain, nor
operate now against Spanish interests.
frankly states that her resources are
being drawn upon for purposes of
making ready for the conflict for
which Europe is preparing. To that
conflict Rear Admiral Rojestnefski,
chief of the Russian naval staff, points
when he says it is not possible for
Russia to send to Port Arthur all the
naval officers who want to go there.
and that it is more probable they will
be needed in the Baltic.
That means England distinctively
and means mischief, with Germany
holding the balance and fearfully
weighing it down according to the
side she might choose. 1t would be
a battle OF the gods indeed, with
Japan and China and England on the
q side and Russia, France and Ger
many on the other. But the Kaiser
will undoubtedly take time for con-
%sideration, for the navy of England
has an uncomfortable habit of
shutting up ports, and it might be
found a work of difficulty to transport
troops by land. In fact. it might be
found advisable for all parties to
count the cost before plunging the
world in blood.-Cincinnati CONNER

The uneasiness exhibited on the
continent In regard to the possibility
of a European war is not shared by
Great Britain. No power has made
such complete naval preparations for
every contingency, and yet nowhere
is confidence greater that the hostil-
tiles may be confined to Russia and
Japan than it is in London. The
naval and military preparations an
nounced from the continental capitals
are regarded there as being mere CON-
nonsense measures which any power
must adopt, however remote the con-
tingency of their employment may
appear.

Nav Be a Lesson.

Ii the action of the Supreme Court
in declaring unconstitutional the
special laws" made for cities of be-
tween such and such population,
which came before the court IN the
Rushville bond issue, shall prove a
object lesson to ambitious legislators,
with hazy and imperfect ideas Of the
powers vested in them, it will prove a
blessing of much greater value than
would appear on its face.
There has been a tendency in recent
years to rush to the aid of cities and
towns with specIal acts giving them
apparently powers that did not seem
to be necessary to others.

In view Of the fact that SO many
churches put the ban of condemnation
on the theater, it will be interesting
to note what the pastor Of the Actors
Church, of New York, had to say re-
Gently on the stage and stage people.
In part he said:
Lone must judge actors as one
would church members. There are
good and bad church members and
there are good and bad actors. People
love the dramatic, even if they will
not say so. They will put up with the
worst kind of acting on the part of a
minister and call it dramatic ability If
he attracts the crowds and increases
the revenues Of the church. 1t Is inn
pertinent to talk of elevating the
stage. Elevate society and every part
OF it goes up together"
