HONOLULU MAN TELLS WHY
We DON'T GET TOURISTS

THE trouble at present is that there
is no competition. Let Jim Hills line
of steamers, with a competing railroad
come here and passenger rates will
fall The Oceanic and Pacific Mail
have but one transcontlnental connec-
ton out of San Francisco and they
consequently maintain rates at their
own level Look at the difference in
the rate from Hongkong through to
London where there is competition
with the p. and o. and the Messenger
les, and a man saves all of the Allan
tic and half of the continental fare
because of IT.
IF the Hill or Canadian Pacific
steamers could be induced to call at
Honolulu, arrangements might be made
for a forty dollar rate for the single
trip. If necessary a bonus of ten dol
lars for every passenger landed on
these shores could be paid the company
by the merchants. This would mean
a saving to the tourist of thirty-five
dollars on the trip, while the steam
ship company would get fifty dollars.
/ understand that a representative Of
the Hill line visited here and reported
that the big steamers could not get
into the harbor. Still the harbor has
been improved, and the Oregon and
the other battleships had no difficulty
in coming in. and 1 believe the Hill
liners could enter as we'll. 1t would
be worth the effort to make the at
tempt to get the steamers here. The
present passenger rates are prohibitive
and there will be no extensive tourist
travel in this direction until there is
reduction in the passenger tariff"

MARU OFFICERS
DON'T FEAR WAR

Oticers on the America Maru which
arrived late last night from the ORR
ent report that the conditions in Ja-
pan when the steamer sailed were
practically the same as a month ago.
Japan is actively preparing for war,
but they say this is only what she has
been doing since the first trouble with
Russia started. The Maru lay in Yo-
kohama for five days and the officers
had ample opportunity to observe the
preparations being made.
II don't believe there will ever be
war;" said one of the officers last
night. "Oh, yes. Japan is getting
ready, but she has been doing that
for months. Neither nation wants war.
l believe, though, that Japan would
give Russia hard go. She has some
~ne ships and the japanese would like
nothing better than a war with Rus
sia. l don't know what the later dis
patches have been, but when we left
Yokohama 1t seemed to be the opinion
that war was still n good ways on.

EXCHANGE OF RURAL TRACTS
FOR CITY LOTS BAD POLICY

Editor Advertiser: I am glad to see
that before any public land exchange
propositions are undertaken they are

Without discussing the merits or
demerits of this particular proposition

changing enormous areas of undevelop-

The prices put on the city lots are
the boom ones of four years ago. while
the prices of the country lands are put
at the lowest which an ingenious pen
artist can figure out.
1t may be that the thousands of acres
of land at Kapapala are now only fit

Convicted Japan
csc Punished
Lightly.

Muri Kurihara, the witness commits
ted for contempt the previous day,
when called to the stand yesterday
morning purged herself of the con-
tempt by answering the question pend
ing at her committal.
The woman Immediately fell into
fresh trouble when she refused to an
swer the next question.
Judge Dole sentenced her to impris-
onment for three months for contempt
of court. The trial of Hankichi Tera-
yama proceeded forthwith, notwith-
standing the loss of this witness.
SENTENCE SIX MONTHS.
Tomokichi Iguchi, who pleaded guilty
immoral purposes, was produced for
sentence.

the ground of the Japanese way Of

the plea, as he took account of the fact
that the defendant had admitted the
fact of his guilt from the first.
The sentence of the court was i'm
prisonment at hard labor for three
months and a fine of one dollar.
WOMEN GO FREE.
In the big conspiracy case, wherein
so persons We're indicted, Judge Dole
overruled the demurrer as to certain
defendants and denied the motion to
quash as to certain others. Mr.
Breckons then moved to dismiss the
case against Shiraishi, Miyamoto. Isa,
Okazaki and Mamura, being all the
female defendants, and the motion was
granted.
All the rest Of the defendants who
had not been previously, were then ar
raigned. They each pleaded not
guilty and their trials will take place
in due course.
END OF TRIAL.
The case of Muri Kurihara, indicted
for adultery, went to the jury about
p. m. Judge Dole directed q verdict
of acquittal of the offense charged on
the ground that marriage had not been
satisfactorily proved, but instructed
the jury that If the facts in their opin-
ion warranted they might find the de-
fendant guilty of the particular offense-
proved. F. e. Thompson appeared for
the defendants.
The jury after an absence of about
two hours returned verdict of not
guilty.
COURT NOTES.

MILITARY STORIES.
A Soldier Who Was Punished and .
Busler Who Was Excused.

Soldier Who Was Punished and q
Bugler Who Was Excused.
From one Of the French naval ports
comes an interesting story Of an incl
dent which recently occurred there. A
general holding a high command made
his appearance suddenly at the bar
racks Of an infantry regiment, which,
In obedience 10, his orders, was prompt
II drawn up in the yard. Then he e2-
planned the reason in a brief address.
He said that as he was walking In
the town attired in mutt on the pre-
vtous day a man belonging to the
corps, who was the worse for liquor,
accosted him rudely and asked him to
stand him a drink. Let him step out
Of the ranks" be concluded. Immedi-
ately a bugler emerged and, saluting,
said, ut is I, mon general"
The incident is characteristic, and
apropos Of it we are reminded Of such
an adventure which befell certain
French marshal. a grenadier who was
exasperated at some injustice that
had been done him pointed his pistol
at the marshal and pulled the trigger,
but it did not 90 off. Without moving
q muscle the veteran cried, "Four days
in the cells for keeping your arms IN
q bad .staten'
The bug!er's honesty can scarcely
have failed to be an eXtenuation Of his
offense in the eyes Of the general.

LOVE OF FIGHTING.

It Seems to Be Unborn In the Aver
age Human Being.
We are all fond Of fghting-that is,
we all love to look at & fight, and some
Of US like to be in fight. But We all
love to see one. There are some super
aesthetic and hyper refined humans of
both sexes who think they do not like
to see a fight. Some of them actually
believe they are sincere But deep
down in the average mai! and woman
the love Of fight exists. 1t is ingrained;
it is congenital; it is in the human ba-
by. When he screams, squalls and
kicks If his will is thwarted, he is fight
ing.
So with the same BABY when, grown
up into a boy, he pulls his little sisters
hair. 1t is partly, perhaps, the love Of
fighting and partly, perhaps, the love Of
giving pain, for cruelty also seems to
be part Of the makeup Of the human
animal After little brother has i'm
ished pulling little sisters hair and she
has dried her eyes she soothes her
wounded feelings by pulling off flies
wings or legs or pinching the cats tail
under rocking chair. Of the higher
flights Of juvenile cruelty to which her
brother rises when he ties two cats to-
gether BY their tails over a clothesline,
where they fight till nothing IS left but
their tail tips-of these familiar facts
we will not speak
When brother goes to school and then
to college, whether it be to the English
public" school or to the American
public" school, resembling each other
only in name; to the academy, to the
preparatory school, to the university,
he speedily becomes past master in cru
city. In most Of these institutions he
must fight. Hazing exists in every col
lege in the country. Even the United
States government cannot stamp it out
at West Point and Annapolis. In both
these institutions fist fights under prize
ring rules are Of almost daily occur
renee. They are masterful battles, and
they have not little to do with max
ing stout hearted, stalwart fighters Of
our army and navy officers. To those
who object to these battles the unan-
swerable reply Is that the boys are
there to learn to fight and that the way
to learn to fight is to fght.-San Fran

This extraordinary fish is one Of the

PuzzIed His Tutors.

Lord Avebury, better known as Sir
JOHN Lubbock, was naturalist even
as q schoolboy at Eton. In his day
there, however, the instructors cared
for nothing except the classics and
were ignorant Of natural science. In

Once at least in Egypt the loss OF his
eve in an earlier campaign proved q
great service to Lord Wolseley and his
army. He could get no information OF
the enemy's strength or position. An
Arab was captured prowling around
our outposts and was brought before
him.. It was ten to one the sullen fel-
low knew everything. Lord Wolseley
questioned him. The fellow answered
never q word, standing stolid between
the two soldiers At last happy idea
struck the general. BE said in Arabic:

me, for 7 am a wizard and at wish
