TOURIST EXCURSIONS.

The Hamburg American line, when
sends a sumptuous excursion steamer
from New York to the Mediterranean,
and return. charges minimum fare
of $3.50 for a trip of "A days duration.
Local steamship lines charge slS5 FOR
a round trip, including a stay ashore
at personal expense, of about eighteen
DAYS duration. The home steamer
provides accommodation for about
thirteen days, making the trip cost
little more than $40 day, exclusive OF
shore accommodations The Ham
burg American people charge a frac-
ton less than $6.42 per day and take
the traveller over 1900 miles and show
him Madeira, Funchal, Gibraltar, NAL
aga, Alexandria, Beyrout, jana, con-
stantinople. Piraeus. Kalamak, Mes
sina, Palermo and Naples. He can live
aboard ship all the time.
1t is opportunities like these that
attract the tourist and suggest the wis
dom of putting on u fine vessel Tor
summer and winter tours in the North
Pacific For instance a steamer could
leave San Francisco, calling at Port
land and the Sound cities and skirting
Alaska, with its impressive coast see
merry, thence to Unalaska and home via
Honolulu and Hlo, giving the passen-
gers at the latter place chance to see
the volcano. In the fall the steamer
could go south from San Francisco,
calling at Los Angeles, San Diego, En-
senada, La Paz, Guaymas, Mazatlan,
Manzanillo, and Acapulco with side
trip to the City of Mexico) and return
ing home via Honolulu and Hilo
Eventually, when the canal is built
such excursions may come from New
York, but in the meantime they ought
to pay from the coast where there is Sc
large a transient pleasure pop
ulation.

PLANTERS AND THE TRUST.

As long as Hawaiian planters per-
nit the trust to fix the price of their
sugar they will be working for the
trust on a small commission. When
they determine, as Claus Spreckeis did,
to refine their own sugar in the enemy's
country, they will compel the trust to
play even. They could refine, as Senator
McCandless said the other day, one
sixth of the sugar on the market. The
trust would refine five-siXths, but in a
price war, for every dollar lost by the
Hawaiians the trust would lose five;
and the latter could not hope to keep
up such a struggle very long. 1t would
pay better to divide the territory and
raise the price.
The planters are naturally conservn>
tive, but conservatism if it goes too
far comes to the same fate as radical
ism. The moth is IA radical and file.
into the fire and is consumed. The
horse, on the other hand, is a conserva-
tive and refuses to leave his burning
stable, meeting there the same fate
as the moth. Our best advice to the
planter Isl Don't be horse, least of
all mule.

Probably "Chinese brigands" Is
phrase used by the Russians to excuse
the summary execution of Chinese SOL
ders who are caught in attempts to
destroy the Manchurian railroad
bridges. A few days ago General Ma,
the highest officer in the Chinese Army
spoke of the difficulty he had in re-
straining his troops from making TO-
rays upon the Russian lines of COM
munication. Probably the restraint
was not sufficient Moving rapidly in
the blizzard the "brigands" seem to
have been able to do the Russians n
great deal OF damage. That they are
really soldiers is indicated by their
good organizatio by the known ad-
vent on the borders of Manchuria of
10000 Chinese regulars and BY General
Mas admissions.

COMMERCE OF THE PACIFIC.

If the coastwise navigation laws
should be eXtende to the Philippines
the fact would stimulate American
shipbuildng which is what the navi-
cation laws are for. At the same time
they would increase freight rates and
perhaps make some change in the
ns-Pacifc passenger and freight
lines. Within a year or two the o. e
O. steamers have been dividing much
Manila business with the Pacific Mail
vessels and pltofitng by 1t; but If the
navigation laws are extended the o.
e o. ships will have to go off the Phil
The natural tendency of the naviga-
ton laws is to rule foreign vessels out
of our Pacific trade altogether, except
as to through business between Japan
and China and the United States. But
the loss in way business from Hawaii
and the Philippines is a serious one
and the monopoly of it by American
built vessels might be expected. in the
| long run, to greatly injure alien COM
mercial interests. The foreign carrying
ships having the best chance to sur
vive would be the Japanese; the Brit.
ish ships would suffer most.
The Pacific Mail is getting ready to
handle the business and will soon have
a merchant fleet that, in the speed and
tonnage OF its vessels would not look
/ badly on the Atlantic. Jim Hilrs
competition is going to make it still
more difficult for the foreign lines to
survive. There was talk for a while
of the German Lloyd boats coming on
the course, but unless there should be
a tremendous expansion of business
in the Orient, the navigation laws
would be a deterring factor Ameri-
cans mean to control the business II
they can and there is no very good
reason why they shouldn't.

THE WAR DEVELOPMENTS.

Yesterday afternoons cables from
or near the seat of war undid most of
their news of the previous day, includ-
ing the account of a japanese calamity
at Port Arthur. There was, however,
a new dispatch of some significance
which is differently rendered by the
two evening papers. The Stars YER
sion is:
PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 25-The Jap
anese fleet has again threatened an at
tack, but retired after making an adj
vance as if to give battle Two of the
stranded japanese vessels have been
burned. The torpedo boats which took
The Bulletins version follows:
PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 25.-The Jap
anese naval squadron again threatened
Port Arthur but retired after a cam
nonade of short duration.
Two stranded ships were burned
The torpedo boats of the japanese
fleet We're not injured.
1t would be pleasing to have the orig
inal dispatch published il for no other
reason than to see whether it desig-
mated the stranded vessels as Japanese.
If not, there is a possibility that the
vessels burned We're the Russian ones
which stranded in the outer harbOr
after the defeat of the 9th. Very like
ly they We're the object of the Japan
csc attack.

SPECIALS FAR ASTRAY.

The Star Is too good a paper to waste
any more of It's space on Marine EX-
change specials. Things OF that sort
should be left to It's evening contempo-
rary. which has no reputation to lose
The Marine Exchange Is a bureau or
the Examiner; and that paper, In re-
spect to foreign war news, or anything
else of a sensational character Is hope
lessly untrustworthy. 1t never lets
the truth stand in the way of read
able story.
The sinking of imaginary battleships
is the Examiners especial forte; and
those 1t sunk for the japanese at Port
Arthur turn out to have been stone
boats which the japanese themselves
were trying to sink at the entrance of
the harbor. Any one who took the
trouble to analyze the battleship news
day before yesterday knew that 1t
couldn't be true. Togo, who had four
battleships in his fleet could not have
lost them in the morning and raised
them in the afternoon, showing them
before night 200 miles away. But 1t
all went" with the Examiner and 1t
came to Honolulu as a special of the
Marine Exchange. No doubt the Che
foo faker had a hand in it.
Aside from Consul Saitos official
bulletins the Advertiser gives its read
ers nothing but the Associated Press
news which includes such reports from
special correspondents as that agency
considers valuable. Even then this
paper and it's readers are often de-
ceived; but those who rely upon the
irnaginings of yellow correspondents at
Chefoo and Toxic are always deceived.
The highest average of news accuracy
is obtained by the Associated Press
and the next highest by Reuters, with
which the former co-operates. Both
do as we'll as they know how but they
are subject to censorship-eXcept at
Chefoo-and are often used by the Jap
anese and Russian governments to
deceive the enemy. A news
paper reader must use his common
sense and his geography when he reads
the kilograms and leave the rest to the
slow developments of the future.

PANAMA CANAL PROSPECTS.

The Senate has ratified the Panama
treaty and there now remains no OBJ
stacle to the digging of the canal, Il
law having been enacted some time
ago providing means to begin the work
and authorizing the President to go
ahead.
In dealing with this matter in the
senate, the Democrats, who first
thought of opposing the treaty, showed
admirable discretion. Doubtless their
vision was cleared by light from home.
The people, determined to have the
canal, would brook no legislative de-
feat; so the vote in favor of the treaty
was 66 to IA. Those Democratic Senators
who had been out against the treaty,
because, as they said, 1t was part OF
the Government "miltarism' easily
came around for it, when they had to,
on the ground of its commercial inn
portance
1t Is now possible for Hawaii to look
forward to new conditions affecting It's
trade. All the cities of the Pacinc
coast from Vancouver to San Diego
expect the canal to help them out and
IL will do so in the matter of cheaper
railway freights. The Advertiser be-
lieves, however, that it will lessen then
commerce, particularly that of the port
of San Francisco Steamers that can
leave the Orient on a short cut to New
York Boston and Philadelphia are not
] going to San Francisco or Seattle tc
unload for transshipment to the Other
side, a circumstance which Will divert
most of the silk and tea trade from
the coast metropolis. Nor will steam
ers load cotton at San Francisco foi
the Asiatic trade when they can pick
ii up at Galveston and New Orleans
The Hawaiian sugar fleet, after the
canal is built, will be mostly represent
ed by direct steamers between Homo
lulu and Atlantic ports. san Fran
cisco won't see much of II.
Honolulu, in our belief, will get more
from the canal than any other Ameri'
can Pacific port, as this will be the

A PUNChBOWL FORT.

The proposal is said to have been
made to the Governor by Col. McClel-
Ian on behalf of the Federal Govern
ment to acquire a site on PunchboWl
for a battery of Emile guns.
This is surprising in view of the fact
that the Army Commission, which was
here several years ago looking up sites
for Honolulu Notifications, expressly
said that Punchbowl would not answer
and that the heavy guns should be To-
Gated only on Diamond Head and Bar
ber's Point, with a battery ut waikiki
and one near Paul Isenbergs place.
Something was also said about n bat
terry, possibly n mobile one, to guard
the Pail approach to Honolulu. "A sub
seuuent board added Notifications for
the special defence of Pearl Harbor.
This journal does not know why the
Commission found fault with Punch
bowl, but it might have been because
if a battery there should ever fire at Il
hostile fleet and the latter should re-
spond, enough of the encmy'S shells
would fall in the city to destroy it. A
Punchbowl fort, instead of saving the
town, would simply invite its annihila'
ton.

practice from Punchbowl with big guns

NEGLECT ALWAYS DANGEROUS

To the average man 1t seems childish
to doctor a cold, and unless it becomes
particularly annoying to him, little or
no attention is given 1t, Often cold
contracted in the winter is allowed to
run until the opening of spring. This
is n grave mistake, as even though the
warm weather may bring relief. the
system is thereby weakened and rem
dered susceptible to disease, A cold
should never be neglected, whether 1t
be n child or an adult who is afflicted,
as health and often life is rsked. A
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
costing but small amount will bring
speedy relief and by its use all dan
gerous consequences win be avoided.

Under the heading, County Act VIII
Increase Expense" the local organ of
the County government idea prints the
following.
At the conference of the business
men with the Governor this morning,
Mr.. Spalding asked what difference the
advent of a county act in the Territory
would make in the finances of the gov
eminent. The Governor replied that
the Territory would be in worse
plight financially. This was all said
on the subject, the matter being
dropped at that point. The question
was brought up by Mr.. Spalding after
the long discussion on the subject of
finances and after he had asked the
question If there was any likelihood
that Congress would give the Territory
a county act
And yet, in spite of the fact that the
Territory would be in a worse plight
financially than it is with $4,000 in the
Treasury and with sl7S,O00 of floating
and imminent debts, we are all expect
ed to urge County government to help
the Republican party. 1t needs a
party patriotism which could not be
detected from an impulse to commit
suicide to do it. Ii assumes that by
muddling things worse than they now
are financially, the Republican party
can make itself more acceptable to the
voters.
The only voters In this island by
whom such course on the part of the
Republican organization would be APP
proved are the grafters and those who
want to catch the votes of grafters.
But the moment a party caters to such
elements it begins to lose strength as
we'll as self-respect and it deserves to
lose them. People who have been Re-
publcans all their lives and have help
ed elect Republican Presidents, OF
whom there are many in Hawaii, do
not recognize their political alma
mater in an organization which DELHI
erately commits itself to a policy of
ruin to please the scavengers who like
to see things wrecked for the sake OF
the pickngs.

THE WAR NEWS.

Yesterday afternoon the news came
that Admiral Togo's fleet had attacked
Port Arthur and suffered the loss OF
four battleships and two transports
What the transports were doing IN a
hattie was not divulged. The story OF
the fight was sent from st. Petersburg
but the alleged Japanese losses had
not been confirmed there. Ihat
conflict of some kind was going on
Yesterday at Port Arthur may be pred
icated of the news from Chefoo tha'
heavy firing had been heard there IN
the direction of the Russian fortress
across the Gulf. Later in the day
came the news that four japanese pat
tleships and nine cruisers had passed
wei-hai-Wei, n port near Cheioo,
steam!ng eastward in the direction OF
Korea. This could have been no other
than Admiral Togo's fleet from Port
Arthur AS there are but six Japan
csc battleships extant four could hard
ly have been sunk and leave four re-
naming. Furthermore the fleet Iogo
took from Sasebo had but four battle
sbips and he seems to have them yet.
If he lost any ships at all they must
have been smaller vessels and might
have been torpedo boats.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1904-02-26

1t is now reasonably clear that the
story of sunken battleships is the usual
Chefoo fake. based upon the destruc-
ton of merchant steamers loaded with
stone, which the Japanese Intended To
sink at the entrance of the harbor.
Viceroy AleXieff sends the news to st.
Petersburg. possibly in answer to a re-
quest for further light on the uncon-
firmed battleship story.
