The Home Rule politicians see no
virtues in a primary law and stated so
most emphaticaHy last night at their
mass meeting held at Aala park. There
was a large number of people out to
hear the spelIbinders, the fact that
Kaniho, the cannonbaI of Kohala, was
to be the principal orator being enough
to gather the Hawaiian voters. The
eIoquence of this great thinker and the
combined wisdom of Senator Make
kau, Charley Motley, Honorable Ka-
hama and Kalauokalani yolubly ex-
pressed, failed, however, in impressing
the hearers to any great extent and
the meeting may be said to have failed
of its prime object. that of infiaming
the rank and file of the people against
the proposed measure to give them a
direct say in the selection Of political
candidates.
The argument advanced most prom
inently by all the speakers was that
the primary law was new thing and
consequently to be Stunned. 1t was
Kaniho who dwelt longest on this
phase of the question. Personally he
is opposed to anything new and re-
fuses absolutely to advance in any di-
rection. He argued that the people
had just become accustomed to the
present law and the proposed change
was only a dodge of the Republican
politicians to confuse them again ana
by so doing keep the Home Rulers
and Democrats from securing the VIC
tory at the polls at next election to
which they were confidently looking
forward.
The speakers all talked in Hawaiian
and there was no Interpreter. At no
stage of the meeting did the crowd
become in any way enthusiastic, SEN
ator Makekau receiving perhaps the
greater share of the applause in the
early part of the meeting and kan1ho
the applause at the end. The meeting
kept up until a late hour, kaniho for
once being allowed to talk as long as
he wanted to.

IRRIGATION BILL
IS NOW READY
Governor Carter Hopes 1t viii
Be the Means of Pr0vid-
ing Water.

This morning I handed to Senator
HayseIden a bill which was submitted
to me governing the formation of wa
ter companies" Governor Carter said
yesterday noon.
These companies are to distribute
water to settlers. I should like to have
a public examination and discussion
of the subject. It is hoped that.
through the proposed measure, a COM
munity of settlers can have storage
reservoirs, bitches and fumes con-
structed The water company steps in
between them to furnish water.
''It is a similar arrangement to the
system on the mainland, only there
the Federal Government provides the
capital, while this bill makes it an
object for private capital to perform
the service. The bill offers six per
cent. returns on the investment.
when it is introduced it might be
published for general information.
Quite number Of people have spoken
about the bill and it was drawn up
by combination, including the Com
missioner of Public Lands and a good
many others.

istration measure to be introduced"

THROUGH EUROPE
WITH DR. PAYNE

Dr. Charles 4. Payne's lecture at st.
Louis College last night was enter
tanning in a high degree to a very
large audience. The doctor is an
agreeable talker who delivers his lee
ture in somewhat of a conversational
style that is at all times pleasant His
descriptions, accompanied by lantern
slides, of the places he has visited are
clear and instructive and with but lit
tie stretch of imagination his hearers
We're made to walk with him through
old London and the capitals of Europe.
The pictures are remarkably clear and
lifelike.
The prelude to the lecture was a
journey through Yellowstone Park
that was exceedingly interesting. The
descriptions of the various geysers,
and the colorings, made by the boil
ing water on the mineral deposits,
were indeed tempting.
Through London, visit to the his
torical old building, thence through
Paris on, the jump into Germany and
Switzerland and a short trip up the
side streets of Venice and Naples and
a view Of Vesuvius completed the gen.
eral tour.
Following these were a number of
dissolving views that were artistically
beautiful. These were shown with mu-
social accompaniment, Brother Francis,
pianist; Walter Cough, violin, and
Clyde Baldwin, soprano soloist. The
selection, Rock Of Ages, was beautiful
ly rendered. The st. Louis College or
chestra of II pieces played an over
ture prior to the lecture.

broke upon Kaniho and he asked per-
mission to change his vote. He gave no
reason for it, but some telepathic wave
passed to Mahoe and the others and
they too asked permission to change
their votes. 1t was a sudden CONVEX
sion and showed the amount of con-
sideration some of the followers of the
Mad Mullah give to the questions be-
fore them.
The way the standing votes are CIV
en- is also interesting. "All those In
favor of the motion will rise" says the
Speaker or the chairman. One or two
stand up promptly, then another will
get half way out of his chair and keep
an eve on a neighbor. A few mods and
winks are passed around until finally
oil those who vote the same way as
somebody else does straggie to their
feet It is the same way with show
of hands, about half the members never
know how they are going to vote when
the question is put.
The Mad Mullah who represents ko-
hala, has distinguished himself par
ticularly of late, his remarks on the
entomologist and bacter;ologist of the
Territory having been particularly edi-
fying. The first official he dubbed in
his various discourses 'the super1n-
tendent of worms and he wanted to
know why the latter did not visit the
potato patches around the country and
kill off potato bugs. His grasp OF the
duties Of these officials is about on
par with what he thinks should be done
bv the sanitary inspectors of Homo
lulu. against whom he complained bit
terIv because the premises where ne
was lodging were in a filthy state and
no inspector had appeared to clean
them up. A slice of Kaniho's brain un-
der a. microscope would be an inter
esting object of study and his antics
in the House would be also interesting
and funny but for their wearisome
frequency and their evident weight
with some of his colleagues.
Nothing mas been heard in the House
this session of any race prejudice. ka-
niho alone dragging in the question OF
color in connection with the salary
bill. The silence in the matter has
been oppressive, terribly so, for the
question has never been more than a
fraction of an inch below the surface

The past week has been a long and
steady grind for the members of the
House of Representatives and it is lit
tie wonder that they grew short tenn
pered and irritated at the end of the
week and turned upon their friends in
the Senate In the state Of frazzled
nerves induced by having to sit and
listen to the long and puerile "argu-
ments'' of Kaniho, 1t was exasperating
to watch the Senators, happy, smiling,
corpulent and without a care on their
minds, this evaporation finding voice
on the floor of the House yesterday
Rawlins leading in the call-doWn for
the upper chamber The idea that has
taken possession of the minds of some
of the House members is that the Sena-
tors are deliberately holding up some
of their pet bills in order that the Gov
ernor may quietly pocket veto them
and there are only four more days now
in which the members may get their
measures up to the robins egg blue
chamber in time to have any further
say about them.
The past week has seen lot of ac-
tive lobby work going on. In fact the
order of the day could be fairly well
just by taking a census of
the busy persons in the lobbies before
the House would go into session. The
local option measure brought out a de-
termined group: the bill requiring
court interpreters to be citizens re-
ceived the energetic boostings of Will
lie Crawford; the measure cutting
down the theatrical licenses was pre-
ceded by Joe Cohen, and the appro-
priation bills found the Iobbies swarm
ing with job-holders who were out for
raises. And probably in few 1egisla-
lures are the members to be found
more workable. 1t has happened more
than once that the House will vote
unanimously one day, bring the matter
I'D for a reconsideration the next and
vote Just as unanimously the other
way. Sometimes the members can
change their minds just as completely
lur;ng the noon recess, but the quick
est reversal of opinion the House has
seen came yesterday.

ITO BE
NEW SUBMARINE BOAT.
In Which Three Men Gao Live Under
Water Twelve Hours.

In Which Three Men Can Live Under
Water Twelve Hours.
Yet another submarine BOAT has been
invented, or is it an old friend under
an assumed name? Be this as it may.
a submarine boat, ordered by the Bra
lillian government, was to be tried this
week on the Seine, and the trials being
satisfactory other and larger vessels
are to be built, says the Court Journal.
The new boat, which is named the
Goubet, is some tewenty-six feet long,
about 5 feet 6 inches in diameter in the
center, and has a displacement of about
ten tons. The motive power is supplied
by electricity, and the screw also serves
the purpose of a rudder. the shaft being
joined so as to enable it to be turned
either to the right or to the left. Three
men, the inventor claims, can live UNI
der wates in the Goubet for twelve
hours with the supply of compressed
air. This has, of course, to be proved;
but in the event of anything going
wrong, a lead keel, weighing over a
ton will be dropped, and the boat will
at once come to the surface like a cork.
On account of electricity being used for
supplying the propelling power, the
sphere of action of the new boat must
of necessity be very limited, as COM
passes cannot he used, but it could do
all that is required of it. if taken on
board a vessel and launched when the
enemy's ships were in sight. The Gou-
bets mission is to throw torpedoes, and
if the arrangement for throwing these
projectiles can be relied upon, she will
prove a formidable antagonist. To
sink the Goubet water is let into COM
partments in the lower part of the boat.
and when it is sunk to any required
depth in that position it remains ex-
actly, the arrangement for sinking the
vessel being so beautifully and care
fully arranged. One ounce Of water
more or less-will cause the boat to sink
lower or come nearer the surface.
