L don't know. And I don't know

Really, it would seem to be up to

fact that Vincent told more than one
of the passengers on the Sierra, which
steamer had the honor to bring him
to Honolulu, that he was connected
with the secret service-the army
secret service, is the way he put it on
the boat, but he changed from that in
talking to the Advertiser reporter. He
was even solicitous about the matter,
saying that the Bulletin had mixed
him UP in this regard, and that he
wanted to have the thing Strengthened
out. The Major seems to be afflicted
with something of a chronic case of
wanting the thing Strengthened
out" Anyway, he was very specific
IN his statement to the Advertiser s
representative that he was not in any
way connected with the army, but was
connected with the secret or special
service of the United States.
The Advertiser can not be held at

his business away, nor is it blamable

that he was a graduate of West Point.

fairs that it came to be a. standing

LIGHTHOUSE MATTER.

! Representative Mann. of Illinois, has
made report from the Committee OF.
Interstate Commerce of Delegate Ku-
HOS bill for the building of a new
| lighthouse and range lights at Homo
| lulu which bill is now on the House
calendar. The report says:
Honolulu harbor is the harbor of the
Hawaiian Islands. The entrance to
that harbor, which is unsatisfactory and
dangerous, is now being improved by
the government in accordance with the
provisions of the last river and harbor
act. By this improvement it is pro-
posed to cut off and excavate that por-
tion of the bend of land adjoining the
harbor upon which the present light
house now stands, so that it becomes
absolutely necessary to move the light
house from its present site at an early
date. The existing lighthouse building
is in an unsafe condition. and is not
itself subject TO removal to another
point so as to be used. The commerce
entering Honolulu harbor comprises
not only the commerce between the
United States and the Hawaiian
Islands, but also many vessels stopping
there in passing between the United
States and the Oriental countries 1t
is also essential that new range lights |
be established at this harbor, for the |
reason that the existing range lights |
can often not be distinguished by en- |
tering vessels from the ordinary lights !
of the city.
Your committee at the last Congress
made a report on similar bill, recon-
that the Improvement be au-
