a portion Of the strain upon the retail deal

Rev. W. M. Clair. pastor of Asbury M.

from the text, IF the Lord be God. follow
Him. xviii21. In the course Of
his sermon he said:
The condition in Israel Is deplorabIe. Thu

the people in general is Who is the LordY
A call is issued and all the people are
summoned to assemble at Mt Carmel to
settle the disputed question. Elijah submits
the proposition. the God that answers by
fire. let him be the God. To Ahab this
was a most reasonable proposition. The

that had been broken down, and set every
thing in order. and then dug a trench about
the altar and poured twelve barrels OF
water into It. The prophet of God simply
said: Hear me. o Lord: hear me, that
this people may know that thou art the
Lord God The fire came and consumed
everything.
Judging from the actions of men to-
day, there are many who have not settled

COMMENDED BY SHAW
LIEUT.. McMILLAN'S ENERGETIC
WORK AT SAN FRANCISCO.

In submitting estimates to Congress for
repairs to federal buildings damaged by
the California earthquake Secretary Shaw
took occasion to submit brief reference to
reports on file In his department showing
heroic conduct on the part Of several OFF,
ciaIs Of the Treasury Department.
He says: Capt. r. o. Crisp Of the reye-
nue. cutter McCuIIoch makes special refer
ences to the heroic conduct Of Second AS
sistant Engineer Lieut.. C. C. Mcmillan OF
the revenue cutter Bear, who, assisted by
q squad Of men from the Bear and Thetis.
undoubtedly saved the appraisers building.
He took gang OF murderers from the
city pen at the request OF the authorities
and turned them over to tho army people
at Fort Mason. He impressed all who came
around the Fairmont Hotel and put them
to work on the fire apparatus In a vain at
tempt to save tho hotel. He saved most
kins Institution OF Art, and when thay
were about to be burned on account of the
irresistible rush of the flames he had the
paintings curt from the frames. rolled up
and carried away.
"A city fire engine was abandoned, which
he took charge of and with It made
heroic fight against the flames. He broke
open several grocery stores that were
about to be burned and fed thousands or
people who were crying for something to
eat. When he could no longer fight the
fire, he proceeded in advance Of the flames
and destroyed hundreds OF barrels or
whisky. and In that manner prevented
much looting and kept the liquor from the
lawless element.
when he could no longer save property
he retreated to the Bears steam launch and
rendered all possible aid along the water
front, ana when the launch broke down he
secured the loan OF an old tug, fixed her up
and reported to Capt. Hamlet for duty on
tho water front.
These" says Capt. Crisp. ARE some Of
the things he has DONE
The Secretary then makes mention Of
the modest report of Frank A. Leach.
superintendent of the mint. which has here
tofore been printed.

RHODE ISLANDS GROUNDING.
No Official Advices at the Navy Depart.
ment.

No Onc1al AdV1ceS at the navy depart
ment.
Although official advices to that effect
are lacking. the officials Of the Navy De-
partment credit the press report that the
big battIeship Rhode Island. which ran
aground on York Spit. at the mouth of the
York river. was hauled into deep water last
night and will be taken to Hampton Roads.
The Rhode Island Is in command of Capt.
Perry Garst. and was on her way to York.
town when she left the channel and ground
ed on one Of the shoals. which are numer-
Gus OF York Spit.
Capt. Garst has been I'll. and naval ohi-
cials express the opinion that he was not
In command when the ship struck. It Is
generally believed that the ship. In at
tempting to enter York river before day
break, got out of the channel. or the pilot
lost his bearings by misty weather. While
there has been no fog reported In that
vicinity for some time, officials can only
account for the stranding OF the vessel by
weather conditions or the pilots ignorance
of the danger in attempting to enter the
river unless sure OF his bearings. before
daybreak
A telegram was received at the Navy
Department yesterday from Rear Admiral
Harrington. comnaandanc OF the Norfolk
navy yard telling OF the grounding of the
ship and OF the EFFORTS to haul her into deep
water. Since then no word has been heard
from Admiral Harrington or Capt. Garst
on tho subject.
A court OF inquiry win be appointed to
ascertain tho cause Of the accident and
report whether further action should be
taken against any ono who may be re-
sponsible. . This court, usually appointed
by the commanAing of1cers Of the heek OF,

Tue hAW Allan BAND.

The Bulletin cOulcsses ignorance Of
the cause Tor the new agitation against
the Hawaiian LaId which has been
iathered bv Supervisor Moore.
This paper believes, however, that
the proposition Of doing away with the
band or OF lugn!nr 1t over to the Ter
ritory. does no. meet with the approval
Of any considerable part of oahu tax
payers
II Is true that the members OF the
band are enlisted IN the National Guard
ana therefore subIcc; to the orders OF
the Governor the same is true OF
some Of the road laborCrs and yarious
other employees of the County, but that
is no reason for the department being
turned over to the Territory.
This matter Of making the band a
Territorial expense when ninety per
cent of the benefits are enjoyed by oahu
County residents has been threshed out
In the Legislature and decided In favor
Of the County. In providing for the
band as IA section of the National Guard
Of Hawaii the County of Oahu Is pro-
viding no larger share than the outside
Counties that pay their proportion OF
the additional military companies
maintained In this city.
As for the Rapid Transit and the
hotels paying for the up-keep of the
band, why not by the same line of argu-
melt demand that the Young Hotel pay
