|. British CLAIMS

The following is from the British
Californian, published in San Francis
co:
Some three years ago we made refer
ence in these columns to certain claims
OF British subjects resident in Hawaii.
These men demand indemnity for i'm
prisonment, confscation of property
and other wrongs suffered during the
Hawaiian revolution of 1895. Their
claims, which have been pronounced by
leading citizens of the Hawaiian Is
lands as perfectly just, have been in
the hands of the American and British
governments for II years, but no ac-
ton has been taken in the matter The
claimants now learn that their cases
will probably be taken up by Great
Britain and the United States in con-
nection with tht Canadian, Newfound-
land and other questions at issue be-
tween the two governments-which
means another long wait at the best.
Really, it does seem that a small
matter like this should be disposed of
right away. Either the claimants are,
or are not, entitled to damages. That
should be determined by an inquiry
whilst the evidence of witnesses is
available. AS the Hawaiian Star" of
| April % says: There is really no mat
ter OF diplomacy involved in the ques-
ton OF whether these claimants are not
entitled to damages. 1t is a gross in
justice to allow such a matter to drag
over twelve years undecided, just be-
cause a lot of Quixotic international
courtesies and circumlocutions prevent
efforts to hasten a hearing"
Several of the claimants have passed
away since their demands were filed !;
some of the surviving ones who fear
the same fate ask us to do something,
if possible, to hurry things along.
We wish we could, for we know them
to be good and deserving men, and we
feel that they are, at least. entitled to
decision. All that we can do is to
again give publicity to the matter and
to hope that in some indirect way this
will have effect

with profit from selling bad drink to
selling good drink. 1t had been his ex-
perience to know a considerable num-
Der of saloon keepers. Some of them
were men of admirable character in
respects other than the damaging one
of being engaged IN the bad business.
There were men of kindly natures
among them with the capacity for
making friends and it was this class OF
liquor sellers which gave strength to
the argument in favor of saloons that
they were the poor mems clubs. The
Birmingham instance proved that a
poor mans club might be sustained
without the ingredient that made the
saloon the foe of the individual, the
foe of the family and the foe of the
nation.
DR.. Scudder only wished that the Of
ficers of the Army would realize the
spirit of the times and recognize that
the canteen was injurious and not ben
eiicial to the Army, and that such in
nocuous substitutes for it as the Bir-
mingham saloon keeper had discovered
and the Salvation Army here had now
instituted would be a great improve
ment in raising the morale of the
Army. He contrasted with the atti-
tude of the army officers that of the
navy officers, who had specially re-
quested the people entertaining the big
fleet, on its present great cruise, not to
offer liquor to the sailors. The naval
sailors of today were a thoroughly rep
Iresentative class of men. Coming
largely from the small towns and the
rural districts they represented the
best element of the nation. He was
proud of our navy and proud of our
army as well. Il was not true that the
good people despised the soldier AS
he told one from Fort Shafter the 9TH
er day who had spoken as if such were
the case, the American soldier who re-
spected himself received the respect
and the social recognition of the res
pectable community. The speaker de-
precated the conduct of the officers of
the army who were "whimpering all
over the country" about the abolition
of the canteen. If they worked instead
FOR the substitution of post exchanges
that would provide at reasonable cost
the comforts the soldier needed they
would do better for their own reputa-
lions and the honor and well-being of
the army.
In conclusion DR.. Scudder assured
Staff Captain Bradley that his church,
which had always been friendly to the

Salvation Army in Honolulu, would be
founG at its back in the present enter
prise for the good of the sailors COM
ing to this port. 1t was especially
gratifying to see this house of enter
tainment established before the arri-
val of the big fleet This indicated the
right mode of receiving the sailors Of
the navy. Inc speaker i'm the course
of his remarks reprobated the proposal
to open places of evil resort in antici-
patton of the visit of the fleet.
Deacon r. H. Trent was facetiously
introduced as a Democrat who could
obtain an audience in Honolulu only
on such occasions as the present one
Mr.. Trent followed the cue of the first
speaker in addressing the chair as
Mr.. Moderator" He said the Saliva
ton Army was doing the work that the
Methodist church originally undertook
When the Methodists grew rich their
i inclinations we're diverted toward
grand churches, fine music and that
sort of thing, neglecting the street
work and the reclamation efforts in
the slums which had characterized the
primitive church. 1t was a Methodist
he believed Captain Bradley nodded
confirmation) VINO started the Saliva
ton Army and it's splendid and world
wide work for the uplifting of human
ity. He hoped the Salvation Army
would never become so rich that it
would depart from the lines of its ORR
ginal mission. The speaker warmly
congratulated the local Salvationists
on this latest evidence of activity in
making Honolulu a better place. In
closing he expressed the hope that the
Salvation Army here would take up
the project of an orphanage There
was no greater need of anything phil
anthropic in Honolulu. The indus
trial schools were overcrowded and the
problem of taking care of orphans was
very pressing,

spoke figuratively of the new institu-
ton as a tree planted by the Honolulu
water side, which in due season he
trusted would yield abundantly of good
fruits for the benefit of the sailormen.
Three years ago he endeavored to es-
tablish a sailors club Upstairs next
door but it had failed for lack of finan-
cial support
A hymn was sung by an Army choir
of several nationalities, male and fe-
male, after which Staff Captain Samuel
Bradley, s. A., gave a statement re-
garding the efforts that had eliminated
in the institution now thrown open.
He gave some interesting reminiscent
ces of his work in mainland cities, say
ing that his earlier contact with the
under world revealed such a depth of
human degradation as almost made
him quit as hopeless the task of rails

ing to the plane Of manhood such
specimens as were constantly encount-
cred. With regard to the Army's work
in Honolulu there were divisions of it
often badly off for funds, and he hoped
the good people would remember them
in their work generally. The idea OF
instituting this sailors rest originated
in the temporary place of entertain
ment the Starvation Army opened dur
ing the visit of the Big Four squa-
dron. 1t was anticipated that this
enterprise would he more or less self
sustaining. Referring to the visit of
the big fleet, Captain Bradley said the
Army would devote its headquarters to
entertainment purposes on that occa-
sion.
Mrs Bradley, surprised by a call to
speak, made some quiet remarks of
most eloquent tenor, full of thanks
giving for the evidences OF blessing
upon the Armys work and for the
local sympathy thereto afforded.
Mr., Atkinson made the closing ad-
dress. He expressed his gladness at
assisting on such an occasion The
Army was doing just the right thing
in providing such a comfortable resort
for sailors. He gave statement of
various liberal donations given to es-
I tablish it, without mentioning names
of the donors. S. M. Damon had made
liberal concession in the matter of
rental. The cash outlay had been
nearly $500 and Captain Bradley, be-
sides putting great deal Of personal
labor into preparing the place. had
to assume the responsibility of debt
of about $3.50. Mr.. Atkinson described
the comforts of the place and the mo-
derate charge of twenty-five cents for
bed-with, he facetiously suggested
half price if two bunked together
Finally he asked that the hat be pass
ed around.
A collection was accordingly taken
Coffee and cake were served before
the gathering dispersed.
The lower floor of the house is neat

so serving counter in the rear from
which the kitchen opens With fresh

Magazines and illustrated papers are

Bradley hopes that in time an equally
