Yesterday morning was good MULE
time along the stretches Of rock bedde,
sea, inside the reef, stretching from
the hotel section to point far on The
other side of Waikiki. A novice sat idly
on the sea wall at the new aquarium
and watched the maneuvers of an ole
native and younger one. This is how
the work of mullet fishing looked to his
malihini eyes:
IAN old man, a boy, fish net about
seventy-f1ve feet in length, a couple of
small anchors, two long poles-this was
the freight of an old canoe. / noticed
the canoe being pushed noisily out from
the beach and the pair set to padding
very slowly. There was no splash when
their paddles struck the water. The
canoe moved along quietly. Rough lit
tie waves were coming in from the sea
and fitting the canoe first one way and
then another but the pair aboard SEEM
ed not to notice this.
"Of sudden both dropped noiseless-
~ into the water. They got out On
the sea side of the canoe, one at the
bow and the other at the stern. Each
dropped a small anchor to hold the |
canoe. The water was not more than
and grabbed an end of the net. They
waded through the water until they
had spread the net in a seni-circle
around a hole in the rocks. Then IN
some peculiar manner they anchored
the net. They left it and went few
yards towards the shore, then turned,
and wading towards the opening in the
net, beat the water with their sticks
Their movements reminded me of an
exhibition I had seen in a Chinese
theater. At the latter place a China
man with a long spear had been spar
ring with an imaginary host of enemies.
The boy dfYed under the water. He
created a great commotion. So did the
old man. In the course of two minutes
they had closed into the semi-circle.
notice that something was Earring the
center of the net. Then the natives
ceased to splash the water. They l
walked carelessly about as if they did
not care whether any fish that had en-
tered the yard fenced off by the net
should escape or not. But they were
wiser than I, for they walked along the a
net and secured a half dozen large, fat l;
nullet. These, in their mad rush for p
liberty in escaping from the two beat q
srss had showed their noses into the II
neshes. A fin had entered mesh with r.
he mead and the poor fish was held n
asst. 1t was easy then for the fisher r,
nen to take the fish from their traps ii
md carry them to the canoe. p,

THE LUAU.

After the meeting a luau was served
in the court house which was one of
the most Ella borate given to the party,
on the island. During the feasting the
Chinese set off hundreds of punches Of
firecrackers and the din was terrific.

After the luau the Governor visited
the Kona Orphanage, which he conplf :
mented very highly. The same day a
visit was made to the Holualoa school,
which is one of the largest on the is
lands 1t has an enrolment of 210 and
the pupils drawn up to meet the Gov

ture of the school was the teaching of
history and geography through the
medium of war news from Russia aud
Japan.
Wednesday evening the people If
Holualoa gave dance and reception at
the school house which also was If

HIGHWAY THROUGH CHURCH.

One of the best known instances Of
churches with streets through them is
that of st. John the Baptist's church,
IN Bristol. The church is situated right
over the ancient gateway into the city
on the Avon, and the towering spires
standing high above the neighboring
houses and streets. is a remarkable
sight, as one surveys it from the roads

MUST BE READY FOR WAR
SECRETARY MOODY DECLARES
THIS is THE ONLY WAY TO
MAINTAIN PEACE.

Boston, Feb. 18.-Secretary of the
Navy William M. Moody, speaking at
the annual dinner of the New England
Rubber club at Hotel Somerset,
strongly advocated a large navy, and
declared that if the United States de-
sired to maintain peace it must be
known that at all times it was ready
for war.
He referred to the Russo-Japanese
war, and pointed out that altho one
of the nations was superior in many
ways to the other, yet the weaker ma
ton by her success at sea had rem
dered every part Of her territory Sc
cure from invasion. He said: 80
Can Afford "a Great Navy.
"This is a great country. and can af-
ford a great navy and the world must
know. that we are at all times ready
for war. + = vi a}%2s4.rs3te II 81 sts>a

we wish to continue and will continue
in that happy relation if honest diplo-
macy and just regards for the rights OF
every nation will maintain peace, but
we must provide a navy SO as to pro-
vide for war.
ITO bring about sea strength I be-
lieve national honesty at home is most
important. We must fight public dis.
honesty as if it were a loathsome dis.
ease. If money that is appropriated tt
the building of ships is directed to i'm
proper uses then the United State!
ships will be as if they were painted

TAPS PLEDGED TO
OPEN DOOR POLICY
Minister Kurino Ridicules Idea that Japan
Would Organize Yellow Race to
Crush Whites

; q ~
national ambition to rank as world
power in the general sense of the
term. The idea that Japan plans the
organization of the yellow race for
the purpose of crushing white power
in Asia is a ridiculous fantasy. Who
ever permits himself to be frightened
by the yellow peril is ignorant of the
gulf separating the Japanese and the
Chinese peoples.
China, indeed. regards the Jap
anese as traditional enemies and the
attitude of China at this hour most
disturbs Japan. L fear China will find
it difficult to maintain internal order
in the neighborhood of the fighting
zone"
M. kurino added that Japanese
finances were never in a better condi-
ton than now, and that unless the war
lasted a long time Japan would not
need to seek foreign loan.
Emperor William has notified the
car and the mikado that the German
hospitals at Kiao-chau and Yokohama
are available for the care Of men
wounded during the war.

HAY LOOKS FOR CLASH WITH RUSSIA AS
RESULT OF AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR JAPs.

In accordance with orders from
Secretary Hay, Mr.. Miller has al
ways refused to recognize Russian
authority in Niu-chuang as paramount
to that Of any other power, and he has
participated in several lively incidents
with the Russian officials.
The gunboat Vicksburg was sent to
Niu-chuang in the fall of 1900 to
spend the winter there. The Russians
were then planning to close the port
and perfect their assumed title to it,
and they were furious when the Vicks-
burg appeared.
Consul Miller, asked to explain. re-
piled that none was necessary, as Niu-
chuang was an open port, and the
United States had as much right there
as Russia.
Port Kept Open.
The inquiry from Russia was then
forwarded to the state department,
and Minister Conger was ordered to
repeat the statement of Mr.. Miller.
1t was then developed that the
Vicksburg was deliberately sent to
Niu-chuang to keep the port open t and
maintain Mr.. Hays contention that
Manchuria is a part of China.
The Vicksburg was the indirect
cause of much trouble. The Russians
repeatedly claimed that American sail
ors and marines got drunk on shore
and assaulted Russians:
Mr.. Miller investigated every COM
plant and found that they all were
without foundation. His replies in
creased in warmth and brevity and be-
fore spring they were short and pep
perry. The Russians finally learned to
| leave him alone.
| An American warship has wintered
at Niu- chuang every year since to
| make it plain to Russia that the
United States considers Manchuria
part of China.
The gunboat Helena is now at Niu-
chuang. She has IT'S blue jackets and
forty or fifty marines who are at the
! call of Consul Miller, and will be
| landed if necessary.
Evans Investigates.
| Rear Admiral Evans, commanding
| the Asiatic station, has transmitted tC
! the navy department a cable dispatch
| from Commander Staunton Of the
gunboat Helena, now in mud dock a
Niu-chuang, in which he says condi
tons there are greatly disturbed, anC
that he is investigating the report tina
the Russian officers have delayed Ger
tain American and British merchant
men.
The probability of trouble at Niu
chuang is made more real by the re
ceipt Of dispatch from Rear AID
miral Evans, in which he states tina
American and British ships have beer
detained at Niu-chuang by the Rus
slams, and that the general situation
there Is bad.
Unofficial reports have reached tn
state department that Consul Mile
was assaulted by a Cossack, and tina
the gunboat Helena had been threat
ened by Cossacks and Russians.
These were not believed at first, bu
they have been greatly strengthened
by the report of Admiral Evans.

q.
Berlin, Feb. ISM Kurino, the re-
firing minister at st. Petersburg.
leaves Berlin to-day to present his
credentials, but will leave almost i'm
mediately for Toxic, where, during
the present crisis, he will act as adj
wiser to the foreign minister.
In the course of an interview on
the far eastern situation, M. Kurino
said Japan, having gone to war with
Russia for the defense of the sover-
eighty of the Korean and Chinese en-
pires, would religiously respect that
sovereignty If she were victorious. He
added:
I'VE pledge ourselves to the main
tenance of the open door wherever the
fortunes of war clothe us with as
cendancy in the far east. I find COM
mercial Germany exploiting the bug
bear that If we humble Russia we
shall proceed to slam the open door
in the face of Europe and America
and hoist the banner of Asia for the
Asiatics. Japan has no such inten-
ton.
1T is fundamentally opposed to our
