elder Of the New Haven district. has
returned from the Baltimore confer
ence. where he went to interest Bish-
op Burt in detailing a clergyman per-
manently in charge of the Italian mis-

Episcopal church should do everything
In It's power to care for the religious
needs of the Italian residents already
affiliated with the church or likely to
become anlliated.
Bishop Burt, whose official headquar-
tiers are at Zurich, Sweden, appreciat-
ed the need and agreed to transfer the
Rev Mr.. Taglealatela, now IN service
at Milan, Italy. This will bring under
the more useful administration Of DR..
Bowdlsh the Italian missions In New
Haven, Hiehwood and Derby, which
are maintained by the Twentieth Cen
tury league, These three missions will
soon have for workers the clergyman
to be sent here from Italy and the

A sample Of what the railroads are
doing in cutting expenses is given in
the April report Of the Chicago and
Northwestern, where decrease of
over $1,000,000 in gross was, by econ
omic operation, reduced to net de-
crease of less than $4,000. The
money put into maintenance If way
and structure was 100000, or about
$72 a mile. The Northwestern can
stand such drastic economy, but there
are great many roads whose phys
ical condition when the panic broke
was not such that they could afford
to skimp on maintenance.

CLOSE BIDDING
ON CONTRACTS
COMPETITORS DO SOME VERY
FINE FIGURING IN RECENTLY
ADVERTISED JOBS.

Otto Oss, of this city, is apparently
the lucky bidder for the job of building
the cottage for the teachers in the
school at Paia, Maui. The bids for
this work were opened last Saturday
by superintendent of, Public Works
Marston Campbell, three tenders be-
mig received. Oss was the lowest man,
with bid of $199S. ]. A. Aheong, OF
Maui, and formerly of this city, came
second with a bid of S2159; while
Thomas L. Andrews, of this city, was
only a few dollars behind, Offering TO
do the work for $2195.
The bidding on the job was excep-
tionally close, which has been very no.
ticeabla with all the contracts of late.
The bidders seem to be watching their
work and figuring very closely at pres
ent. The contract for the new schoc
building at Paia will be given out this
month and it will be one of the best
of its class in the Territory.

In reply Mccarthy is anxious to

what he can do to satisfy the COM

whole trouble comes over the same
proposition that the board fought

conducted a saloon as we'll as a res

was the main affair and the eating

WANDERING
MINSTREL BACK

P. Maurice Mcmahon. after an alb
sence of four years, finds Honolulu
a good rest cure" so he says, and
his stay here may be protracted.
When p. Maurice left here he went
to San Francisco, thence to Mexico
and then to Los Angeles. From the
City of the Angeles he returned to
the witchery of Mexican life.
Soon, yearning for less cactus and
more society, he went to Chicago
Chicago wasn't big enough for hin
so he ran on to New York.
After New York his nerves needed
quiet and peace. so he went to Eng
land, doing London and visiting his
home folks.
He returned to the only New YorE
for a while and then found his way
back to Mexico. From the City o.
Mexico he went to California and
thence came here. Mcmahon may
cap the climax by going to Hilo. The
young poet is wearing his hair Ions
these days.

A VIEW OF THE
FLEET CRUISES
THE SUBSTANTIAL ALLIANCE OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNII-
4ED STATES,

along about October" said for
eign naval officer aboard the 5. s. Ko-
rea, recently passing through here,
the United States will have most OF
her big fighting machines in the Orr
ent. Is it not quite a coincidence, l
ask, that practice and experimental
cruising of Atlantic and Pacific fleets
should throw Americas greatest force
right at the Orient gates?
Il have heard it said in criticism
of the United States Government leav-
ing the Atlantic with but few YES
sells. that 1t was unwise to put all the
naval power into the Pacific when
there might be trouble brewing in the
Old World, but I have answered sucn
criticism with my opinion, which is
that Great Britain will take care OF
the Atlantic, and not to Americas dis
advantage.
Il look at it in this light: There
are two oceans, though there may be
Seven seas. There are two powers
though there may be ten horns to the
dragon of world-inhuence There is
but one idea.
The two oceans are the Atlantic
and the Pacific. The two powers are
the British and American. The one
idea is, well-shall we call it com.
merce? Poets may look beyond com
merce and call it brotherhood or uni
versal peace or the millennium any
thing they will, but trade is the step
ping stone and Britain and the United
States are the guardians of the stair
way.
LAS for me, I'm out of it. I've LIVED
