compete-almost as much as in the
question whether Nan Patterson did or
did not kill Caesar Young. All the
sharps agree that the kaiser has devised
contest OF real interest, free from
tiummery and red tape. Free, too, from
the exclusive management of the New
York Yacht club, which has to some ex-
tent "queered' recent contests for the
Americas cup.
1t is an ocean race; that let's out the
mug-hunting racing machines. Moth
ing is likely to cross the water that is
not fairly fit to cross. The s!x yachts
upon which interest has cen:ered are
cruisers, wholesome" boats. The fact
that most Of them are auxiliaries is sig
nidcant of the rapid advance of the age
OF machinery. Any schooner may COM
pete. All that is required is that an
auxiliary shall leave her screw ashore
She can carry coal and make steam on
the voyage, if she will; but the steam
must be used only for setting sail; for
winches, not propulsion. Without me-
chanical aid it would take crew of per-
haps GO crack sailors to handle the cnor-
nous sails of the racers. Even then
storm might be very dangerous, with a
mass of canvas to be brought in.
NVinches make lighter labor. Compare
that with the cup-racing craft. Years
ago it was required that the challenger
for the Americas cup should come over
under her own sail. OF late both con-
testants have been mere shells, vast and
cavernous within their unfinished hulls
They were not boats at all The con-
testing schooners are ships of speed, but
OF comfort, also.
long race is perhaps less valuable
test of speed than Of seamanlike quail
ties. The schOoners may be out of sight
OF each other most of the way and meet
quite different weather conditions But
it is one task of good captain to hunt
his own weather.

Months and months went by. The
department conceded his point that he

claim that he had not reported for

and a long investigation by cranky
officials, who year ago finally gave
sanction to a pension.

little, yet perform miracles of beautiful
needle-craft. European and American
ladies have great satisfaction in the eve

deft hands and smiling faces. They

women wish. making anew or making
over with swift dexterity. But when
they dress Mohammedan or Hindu
bride, the gown is something like one
described by an author who writes Of
India, and whose words quote:
'She wore purple petticoat en-
bossed with rich border of scattered
punches of flowers, each flower formed
of various gems, while the leaves and
stems were of embroidered gold and silk
threads. Her bodice was of the same
material as the petticoat; the entire
vest was marked with circular rows Of
pearls and rubies''

superb as this.

LAHAINA STRIKE


and the policeman $50. 1t was ON ac-
count of the luna that the strike first
started, I am told, but / did not learn
many of the details of that part of the
trouble After the court had finished,
they demanded the discharge of thu
two men. This was refused.
1--WE stayed at the mill the next
night. There was never any demon
stration on the part of the japanese,
although we heard rumors that they
had threatened to burn the mill. There
were some japanese who wanted to go
to work and the Koreans and Chinese
were also anxious to go to work, but
they were afraid to do so on account
of the possibility that a camp of Jap
anese numbering about 700 and living
about a mile from the mill might at
tack them. Finally the head luna got
in and talked with the people ana the
mill hands agreed to go to work on
Wednesday, provided we would protect
them from any possible attack from
strikers. The Koreans and Chinese al
so went to work on the cane that was
on hand and was ground yesterday,
work starting about 9 o'clock i'm the
morning. on Tuesday night / had pae-
ed a special guard of five men at the
pumping station as it was feared that
there might be damage attempted by
strikers. Yesterday afternoon about 1
o'clock all of us left the mill and Went
to Lahaina and remained there until
got the word that the police Were
wanted at the mill again.

o'clocq last night It looked as if every
thing would be settled and the strike
would be over. don't know what will
be done about the ringleaders of the
strike. l saw nothing of a disturbing
character during my stay there, and
am inclined to think that some of the
reports We're exaggerated ] don't think
that the High Sheriff and the others
will be able to return to Honolulu this
week. They are likely to be kept there
for some days yet before everything
can be settled.
Nothing had been done in the case
of the japanese who was shot last
Saturday night A coroner's jury was
summoned but up to the time that !
left no inquest had been held. The jap

for that verdict. ! think about one
