Debate on the battleship amend

sion of all other matters. 1t was be-
gun by Beveridge with an eloquent
appeal for support of the president
and the suggestion that a larger navy
might be needed for war. The men,
bers of the committee upbraided the

BEAUTIFYING Of
FORT SHAFTER
Present Result of Work Done
Promises Much for the
Future.

In all suburbia there will soon be
no beauty spot to surpass Fort Shaf-
ter, Kahauiki, though the completion
of natural Identification may be some
what delayed by the imminent COM
meneement of the duplication of the
thirty-odd buildings there, for which
new work bids have been called for.
As Fort Shafter is today, there is
presented to the visitor a circular viii
lage in whose center a great parade
ground sweeps sloping toward Homo
lulu and around which finely perfect
ed roads break their serpentine way,
neatly curbed, broadly walked on
either side. while grass strips flank
the paves and young trees are begin
ming to promise delightful avenues.
The water supply is generous and
the lawns about the officers quarters,
the barracks and headquarters and
other buildings are taking on a fresh
green that is a marvel of contrast to
what the hillside once was.
From a great mast, situate toward
the mountain end of the collection of
handsome houses, a large flag floats
by day, and at the foot thereof is sta
toned a saluting piece.
At present oil lamps on posts at
frequent intervals guide the pedes-
trian during the dark hours, but soon
electric lights will be installed
throughout.
Concerning the present lot of build
ipgs and everything Herewith con-
nected, everything is about complete,
ard whatever is lacking will be made
good with the increased accommoda-
tions for troops.
Along the hill road from the fort
entrance to the present terminus of
the Rapid Transit line there used to
be great overshadowing trees, OBJ
structing the view. These have been
removed and the way is clear. Where
there was a rough embankment over
hanging the road near the fort APP
proach there is now gracefully-grad-
ed slope which will soon be in grass,
surmounted by shrubbery and hedged
with flowers, and the public road
which cuts through the reservation
has been graded, macadamized and
put into excellent shape by the county.
The location is ideal for fort, back
ed by the hills from which cool
breezes sweep, with a spread of foli-
age, shadows, reefs and islets, and
then the ocean. at its feet.
Each officers household seems to
take particular pains to beautify the
surroundings and the fort is model
of neatness. Ladies are occasionally
to be seen watering the grass and
personally adding to the attractiveness
of the place.

CHINESE YOUTHS
To be SOLDIERS
information Committee Tells of
an Ambition to Raise a
Rifle Corps.

The Chinese of Honolulu are going
forth to war In case there isn't any
war they are going to get ready for one
just the same, and are thinking of or
ganizing COMPANY for enrolment in
the National Guard.
This is according to information given
out officially by the Chinese Informa-
tion Committee of Honolulu in a circu-
lar letter addressed to the editors of
newspapers on the mainland. No de-
tails of when the military ardor first
broke out among the Chinese is given,
nor is there anything in the circular
letter to denote whether the warriors
have taken the National Guard officers
into their confidence or not 1t is like
ly, however, that this will be the first
information given the officers in ques-
tion as to the addition TO the forces
they may expect.
In the circular letter referred to, a
copy of which has been left at the Ad-
vertiser office by the Rev. f. W.
Thwing, the plans of the Chinese are
referred to as follows:
The increasing Importance of Ha-
waii will neeessitate the enlargement
of the National Guard. Some of the

connection, a company which will be
composed of Chinese American citizens,

CAPTAIN HARRIS
PRAISES HAWAII
Declares the Craft Is Fit and
Worthy of Task Assigned
to Her.

| Captain Harris has officially de-
clared that the yacht Hawaii is all
right, to the good, and Captain Har-
ris knows whereof he declares, land
lubbers to the contrary notwuhstand-
| ing.
With some score men whom he
invited, including the crew, Captain
| Harris yesterday took the Hawaiian
cup representative, in the coming
transpacif1c yacht race. out for a spin,
| leaving the harbor about 10 O'Clock in
the morning and returning about 4:3O
| in the afternoon. She went out toward
Makapuu, about nine miles, and on the
return to port overlook the little yacht
Gladys, beating the latter in her own
weather.
| No one was seasick this trip and
everybody was enthusiastic over the
revealed merits of the dandy craft.
| The Hawaii is in all right condition
except, perhaps, for ballasting and
| Captain Harris is considering shifting
! some of the forward ballast aft or put
| ting it ashore, to bring her head up
about three inches out of the water.
She showed yesterday, clearly enough,
that she can sail within FIVE points of
the wind, and that's going an unusual
record for a schooner
She is a remarkable sea poat and as
dry as chip. according to yesterdays
experience, but she was not built to
sail in the lee of Oahu. She is built
for the open sea and she will stand a
great pile of weather and the more
wind she gets the better she seems to
like it.
She is. however. a brute to steer run
ming before the wind, otherwise she is
tuned up fine. Her crew is a good
bunch, handy and sailors all.
Ordinarily she handles easy. Yester-
day. at her best she logged about eight
knots. Some of the racing sails being
tried out, The square sail was given
a chance. but she waved so that it was
taken in. Jibtopsail. raffee and fish
erman's staysail were used to advant-
age and on the wind she was peach"
She carried her t6psails and jibtop-
sails all the time she was out. She was
not particularly on exhibition coming
in for she entered with headsails up.
1t was lady's day as far as weather
was concerned and more than anything
was it shown that the Hawaii loves
a wind.

SOMETHING Of
c. 4. CANF|ELD

Tt hes been definitely decided that
the Hawaiian Kennel Clubs coming
bench show shall be held on the gore
lot at the corner of King, Merchant
and Richards streets. The show will
be held in a monster tent.
The dates of the dog show will be
July 20, II, %, %, and the entries will
close on July IL.
Entries for the show are coming in
right along and it is expected that
over a hundred first-class dogs will
be shown and that the general
standard will be much higher than
was the case at the last bench show
held in Honolulu.

Kennels looking over that dog with
his owner, the late Mr.. George r.
Krehl. who in his time was quite a
power in the British kennel world and
one of the cleverest writers that ever
wrote on doggie subjects. The period
of Eclipse must be over twenty years
ago, and then Mr. Garfield was going
strong and driving his tandem in and
about the great metropolis. 1t is per-
haps eighteen years ago since he went
in principally for breeding fox terriers
in England: then, a long time after.
he had hounds in Australia. He used
to make the awards at some of the
shows there-always de-
Iightful outings and of great interest
Mr. Garfield is a swell brewer by pro-
fession, and while he was pupil with
Reid & Co. of London he used to hunt
a couple of days week with
the Hertfordshire Foxhounds, better
known as the Enfield Hunt. Then he
was a champion pigeon shot in $780,

"When your children shall ask their
fathers in time to come saying, what
mean these stones? then We shall let
your children know."-Joshua, 4:21-22.
For forty years previous to this COM
mandment the children of Israel had
wandered in the wilderness seeking an
entrance into the Promised land"
Their sins of unbelief and disobe-
<lience had resulted disastrously to
them until but two men of the six hum
dred thousand which had left Goshen
in Egypt for the Land of Canaan four
decades before were then alive.
BY direction of God, however, the
younger generation consisting of three
millions of people, under the leadership
of the faithful Joshua, had possessed
the land. They had marched up to the
bridgeless river Jordan. over against
Jericho, and under the miraculous prov
idence of God, had passed over dry
shod with walls of water high on either
hand.
