SATURDAY BOXING

There will be big crowd at the Or
pheum on Saturday evening when Coy
clone" Kelley and Dave Barry meet
each other in the local ring. This is
the third time these two have come to-
gether and each time the battle has
been a long and severe one. Both men
are much of the some makeup and
temperament. They are both young,
ruddy with health and strength, neither
of them nervous or afraid of doing their
best. Both know the others style,
though of course each of them has inn
proved since they last came together
but they know each others work well
enough not to leave any opening. Both
are gluttons for punishment and both
expect hard tussle.
Many think BarrY's COlorS will be
lowered this time though Dave himself
does not seem to be doing any worry
ing, but neither for that matter does
Kelly.
The MOdlin-Neil light weight con-
test is going to bring out many who
like the soldiers work and pluck. Neill
is clever and shifty and this bout
should, with the Barry Kelly fight,
make the programme the very best
yet put on in Honolulu. Two prelimi-
naries have been arranged.

TWO BOATS ARE
OUT LONG TIME

Two vessels have been lost in the
shuttle about these islands. The boats
are not what could be termed overdue,
but they are taking an unusually long
time in which to arrive at their re-
spective destinations on the island of
Maui. They are the ship Bangalore and
the bark Olympic.
The Bangalore sailed from Honolulu
April u for Kahului, while the Olympic
sailed from Honolulu for Kaanapali
April t. According to reports brought
yesterday by the steamer Claudine,
neither of the sailing vessels had arriv-
ed Nothing has been heard from either
since they left this port.
The probabilities are that the strong
trades that have prevailed for some
weeks past, have swept them to the
southwark and they are now trying to
beat back to the Maui ports. The Ban
galore is out thirteen days and the
Olympic nine days. Under ordinary
conditions three days should be the linn
it to make the trip. The schooner Alo-
ha which preceded the Olympic to Ka-
anapali some weeks ago went over in
22 hours. The ship Emily f. Whitney
had a trying experience a couple of
years ago in making the same trip as
the Bangalore The Whitney was swept
far to the southwark of Maui and was
over a month getting to that port.

HELPLESS BABE WAS
BURNED TO DEATH

A Japanese girl baby was burned to
death at Waipahu Friday night The
tragedy occurred within a few feet Of
her foster father and mother, but be-
fore they had any idea of the childs
danger the flames had envelOped the
house where the child lay asleep, so
that she could not be rescued.
Totaka was the name of the child.
She had been cared for by a Japanese
and his wife. The little child was about
years of age. The child was left
sleeping in bed in the foster fathers
house while the latter went to the
house of a neighboring japanese about
ten feet away. The foster mother went
away also from the house to gather
fireWoOd. A lamp was left inside the
hut. The high winds which prevailed at
the time are thought to have overturned
the lamp and the oil took fire.
In any event when the father and
mother discovered the fire the entire
house was enveloped in the flames and
it was impossible for anyone to get in
side and rescue the child. A corOner's
jury was called Saturday and returned
verdict of accidental death by burn
ing,

STRENGTH OF THE AMERICAN
NAVY.

According to Senator Hale, who will
be accepted as an authority, the Ameri.
can navy upon completion Of the present
program of planned construction will
rank next to England, not in tonnage
but in effectiveness.
There is no dimunition in the ratio Of
naval progress. Since 1884 there has
been appropriated for the navy the sum
of s760,896,567.75. In 1889 the pay OF
the navy was S6,940,7SO, and last year
was almost twenty millions.

COULD ANYTHING BEAT TISH FOR
NERVE?

In the name of God, what railroad
does Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa,
represent? Last Friday, in the house of
representatives at Washington, Con-
gresham Joseph w. Babcock, Of Wis
consin, was charged with violation of
law Of the United States relating to
railway mail contracts, the maximum
penalty for which is fine Of $4,000 and
Imprisonment at hard labor for five
years. Babcock makes no defense. He
offers no explanation. He sits silent
He is stand-patter. The only voice
raised in his behalf is that of Congress
man Hepburn, and his sole request is
that the charge against Babcock be ex-
plunged from the record!
Think of it! No defense, no explana-
ton, no denial. Simply a motion to
wipe the charge from the permanent
record Of the proceedings of the house,
a motion which had the support of 100
members! Could anything more thor
oughly exemplify the belief Of the pre-
fessional politician in the stupid in
difference Of the people? A charge of
gross and fragrant violation of the law,
supported by the sworn statements OF a
number of Babcock's own constituents,
is ignored and scratched from the record
by the vote of a majority Of the men,
bers of the house then present!
1t is is a practical assumption that
such action will also eNpunge it from
the public memory, but we doubt if it
has that effect. There must be an end
somewhere to the public Indifference
toward the disgraceful and unholy re-
lations maintained between the rail-
roads and congress. We believe the
time is pretty close at hand when the
voters will demand an exposure Of
those relations and the just punish
ment of those who have so fagrantly
violated their oaths of Office. We be-
lieve the people will demand an explain
alton from at least some of those 100
who rushed to Mr.. Babcock's relief.
We believe the people are about ready
to demand full explanation of the
many indications Of collision with the
railroads in congress-; such, for instance,
as why the Pennsylvania railroad is
allowed to maintain an agent and pass
Santa Claus at government desk
within the very capitol itself.

'expunging from the record" when the
railroads were concerned.-Detroit

Illinois requires the publication in a
proper way, of all the assessments of
all real estate property with descrip-

salutary effect in preventing dis
elimination and favoritism on the part
of all assessors. It is believed also that
it will lead to uniformity in estimates.
