The proposed executive order piac-
ing the Isthnian Canal Commission
under the Secretary of War has been
referred to the Commission for con-
sideration and suggestion. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Commission desires
to have the order so worded that the
Commission will not be controlled in
the matter of administration and con-
duct of the canal work, but the De-
partment' will be the agency by which
reports are received by the govern
ment and its accounts audited. The
Commission so it is reported, does
not want to be controlled in the mat
ter of its work by the War Depart
ment or the Bureau Of Insular affairs,
as the Philippine government is now
controlled.
Remarkable records were made by
the Iowa's guns in the annual record
target practice just completed at Pen
sacola. The Iowa's 12-inch guns made
AZ shots and "a hits. One 12-inch
gun made IL shots and IL hits. The
hits per gun per minute for the -
inch guns were OTIS. This equals the
record made by the British ship
Ocean In 1902, when she broke the
worlds record, and in the case of the
Iowa the record is all the more cred
liable because her guns are Of an old
type. The Iowa's s-inch guns made
l.2o hits per gun per minute, the
best gun making 8 hits out Of 8
shots.
Alexander Legare, who for MANY
years has been confidential clerk in
the office of the Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, has resigned that posi-
ton and will embark in business in
Washington. He graduated from the
Naval Academy in the early eighties,
but was legislated out of the service
when congress concluded that the
navy was too large. President Roose-
welt thought highly of him when As
sistant Secretary Of Navy in the busy
days before the Spanish-American
war.
The Acre dispute supposed to have
been adjusted, has broken out again
and crisis is threatened. Originally
a controversy between three nations,
Brazil, Peru and Bolivia, for the own
ershlp of a large triangular tract of
rubber lands, situated where the three
countries adjoin. Bolivia was elimi-
mated by an agreement satisfactory
to her and it was supposed that Peru s
claim had also been met. It appears
however that Peruvian troops re-
main IN that territory claimed by
Brazil.

A REsusc!TATED FRAUD.

The Pauoa steal is wriggling into life
again. One of the legislators who put
himself in the unfortunate attitude of
supporting it. a year and a half ago,
now appears in print contendlng that
the Pauoa spring property should be
bought. There is no pretence that its
water is needed now that the loan bill
has provided for the upper Nuuanu
reservoir and the Government has
bought the Kaimuki pumps to supply,
among other things, the new reservoir
at Diamond Head. The need OF the
Pauoa springs, if it ever existed, has
passed away Nevertheless the effort
to work up public sentiment in favor
of buying Booths wet spot for a mere
trife of s15o. 900 or $780, 900, according
to the character of the Legislature, is
again going forward. How large a lobby
the job has secured remains to be seen. :
AS for an organ, the Bulletin IS, Of
course, only too eager to help.
But it will take a eallous legislature
indeed to do anything for the $250.0oo
Booth proposition since Booth himself,
in his sworn statement to the assessor,
pu, the value of the springs and the
land around them ut s1o,425. Perhaps
if the Legislature offered that amount

If the next Legislature looks right"
to Booth he will jack the figures up to-
where they were before with the app

its correspondent of the itching palm.

real losses as yet inflicted upon the
| Japs have been at the hands of the
Russian feet at vladivostok. The Japa-
| nese naval force on guard before this
| Russian port seems unable to prevent
raids. Not only have these raids been
successful in sinking several japanese
ships with their loads of soldiers, but
they have seriously impeded the work
of the feet of transports. 1t may be
that the Japanese admiral on guard
has plenty of force to hold the Rus
slams in their harbor and that the sue
/ cessful raids have been due to his lack
of vigilance. but the fact remains that
the Russians have made several dashes
and returned to their harbor jim safety.
And it cannot be otherwise than that
the japanese military staff would give
much to capture and sink the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur in order to have
a bigger force with which to capture
or confine the Russian flying squadron
operating out of VIadivostok.
But better than all these reasons for
believing that Japan intends a fierce
assault upon Port Arthur is the gem
eral fighting system of the japanese
people. The siege has never had a
place in japanese tactics. In her war
with China, and SO far in her war with
Russia her plan has been to huri her
armies in open assault, marching live
divisions over the dead ones which |
have partly cleared the way, caring
nothing for heaps of dead and wound
ed, so long as more and more men are
thrust to the front to gain eventual
And it cannot be denied that
such tactics result in success no mat
ter how much we may shrink from the
horror of the slaughter. And perhaps
in the long run this kind of fighting
may be more merciful than the play of
wit against wit and the practice of
strategy. In our own civil war we
we're appalled, by the numbers who fell
IN the field. But for one who fell
pectacularly in assault or defense, four ,
lied from causes attributable to the I
ong drawn out character of the strug-
lie. Beyond doubt, if the North and
he South had met each other and ,
ought fercely over the space of a few {
months until one or the other of the
rmies had been next to annihilated
he death list would have been less
nan the total of the four years strug-
lie. [

commander was flying north, having

for Hardin in the railroad key to
Vladivostok. st. Petersburg thinks
that no serious attempt Will be made

The idea, of having island products
consigned to the market INSPECTOR to
be sold at 10 per cent commission, is
one that ought to get on good terms
with the Government. Oahu and the
other islands can come near feeding
Hcrolulu if they are given a fair
chance but the commission men won't
help. AS result, thousands of dollars
per month go to make business prosper
in California. That money is needed
here at home and ought, as far as
possible, to be saved. There are places
in the islands where the finest cauli-
flower and celery may be grown and
the best of cabbages, yet we import
all three of those products and we even
import eggs. Such a waste could be
stopped if the Government would give
home producers a chance to sell here
on fishmarket consignments.

JAPANESE AND PORT ARTHUR.

Drawing Upon the Literary Digest
and other papers which collate the
opinions OF others as we'll as some
that have opinions of their own, the
Kansas City Journal says:
The secrecy with which the japanese
guard their war plans is very appar-
ent in the divergent opinions of Eu-
ropean experts and critics about the
programme at Port Arthur. In Ger
many it is next to the unanimous
opinion that Japan cannot take Port
Arthur by assault, at least without a
loss so great that assault is barred
from serious consideration, and, Of
course. a long siege is predicted. In
for the leading papers differ on this
question. The London Times and the
London Mail profess to know that the
Japanese strategy board has ordered
| the Japanese generals in the field to
/ take Port Arthur without more ado"
/ However the Literary Digest has gath
cred from British military literature
q number of expressions which raises
4 serious doubt of japanese ability to
take the Russian stronghold in that
way. For example. the London Stand
ard says:
e THE question is being anxiousiy dis
cussed in Japan whether the investment
of Port Arthur is to take its place i
among the great sieges of history, or
be terminated by rapid coup de main.
The answer might, no doubt, be sup
piled by the japanese general staff if
that competent body chose to reveal
one of those terrible calculations which
3 it is sometimes the duty of military
commanders to make. What is the
price, in terms of human life and suf-
eering, of wounds and death. which it'll
d worth while to pay for abbreviating
the delay and suspense in the Lao
Tung peninsula? There may be no
special reason for the Japanese to be |
a a hurry, since it is tolerably certain
i hat Port Arthur cannot be relieved by

KILL R OF CATARRH


Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
Of pills, liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs Of the disease will still live
In the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hy0mei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs In the air passages, 1t en-
tiers the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes In the blood and
effectully drives from the system all
traces Of catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers OF
Hyomie to cure catarrh is the fact
that Woodbridge s. Purdy will agree to
refund the money IL you say Hyomei
