The Restorer will reach Midway on
Monday morning, being under orders
to make as fast time as possible. Her
eteaming rate is well over twenty
knots.
During the day there had been lit
tie further news from Midway, the
most important item being that the
Japanese training ship was making no
attempt to pull the Mongolia off the
reef, but was standing by.
The steamer Rosecrans has received
no orders from the owners other than
those received on Tuesday to stand
ready to leave for Midway if desired.
Yesterday the ship Marion Chilcott was
drawn up alongside and the empty dis

Additional stea amship communication

Captain Burnham. manager Of the

something definite to say Some time

the A.-H. S. Co. relative to its putting
on another steamer. direct and exclu-

It was with reference to this propo-
sition that Captain Burnhan. now held
discourse with the directors He in
formed them that the company was
gratified with the proposition offered
by the Association. The matter was
under the company's careful consldera-
ton There Were certain phases OF the
proposed undertaking which required
investigation and Captain Burnhan.
promised to consult the company
further and. at the earliest opportu-
nifty. again discuss the subject with the
Association.
A letter from the Merchants Asso-
citation of San Francisco was read, ex-
pressing appreciation of the spirit that
prompted the local body's recent reso-
luton affirming a purpose to stand by
San Francisco in it's distress. The feso-
luton, it will be remembered, gave ut
xerance to the feeling of the Honolulu
Merchants Association that trading
with San Francisco, notwithstanding
present difficulties, should be encour-
aged by the business men of this clty.

would read the circular that had been

He read section from the bylaws
and added that a member had been
selected to be nominated at the Re-
publican convention. Their wishes had
been entirely disregarded. and the
member was not nominated. Such be-
ing the case he thought it was about
time that something should be done.
The chair called upon all of the MEM |

II Is fact well within common
knowledge that boys. when worthy OF
the name. have an instructive aversion
unconquerable by anything less un-
reasonable than force, TO baths and
even to thorough washing Of their
hands and faces. They consider these
rites unnecessary and uncomfortable,
resent them as grotcsque waste OF boy
hoods precious time and avoid the per-
formance Of them as often and as long
as they can. This popularity Is easily
enough eXpllcable on the theory that
the child passes through the develop
mental stages Of his race and while In
the savage or barbarian stage has the
aptitudes and repugnances Of savages
and barbarlans. But quite as much as
the boy hates baths he loves to go In
swimming, which by the oldsters Is
also called bathing. That cracks the
theory all to pieces and leaves the mys-
terry right where 1t was before. Nobody
has marked the hour when bathing for
the civilized human ceases TO be tor.
ture and becomes pleasure but certain.
