came down from Canada in the s. s.
Moana the other day, with twenty-nine
others of the cableships Japanese crew.
The seven Hawaiians are mostly
young fellows who have never been
to sea before but are ambitious enough
to see what the life afioat has in store
for them. The Filipinos are all sailors,
having had experience in the South
Seas and the Orient. They hail from
Manila
Some OF the Americans of the crew
are green hands, happy for a chance
TO make their board and passage home,
for several are Fasteners who have
wandered out this way without any
particular aim. Two splendid young
fellows. about twenty-five years of age,
who have for a short time been fire.
men in steamships on the great lakes
and who came to Hawaii, because
they had a chance to come were sign
ed on as able seamen. They are of the
stuff that will make two good deep
watermen before the Sewall reaches
the equator and Captain Quick was
very much rejoiced to receive them.
A man who was formerly cook aboard
the barkentine Fullerton goes out as
cook in the Edward Sewall, and a vet
eran steward, known on this front, was
signed. Half a dozen good and tried
seamen are among the crew and it is
up to them, and the officers, to make
sailors out of the rest before the voy-
age is very old Off the Horn is
pretty good section in which to learn
seamanship, even against ones viii.
The Edward SewaH was towed out of
the harbor at s o'clock yesterday morn
ing and there she lay waiting for her
crew. Aboard were the captains wife
and little daughter, the mates, cook,
steward, carpenter and a sailor or two.
A few more were sent aboard in
launch with their mattresses soon after
noon and at o'clock last evening the
rest of the ships company and the
Shipping Commissioner went off TO the
skyscraper lying off port.
The Commissioner went out to muster
the crew and to see that all was ac-
cording to Hoyle.
I'VE will get away sometime to-
night was the captains last word as
he left the boat landing
But the captains word was not full
filled. for after he got aboard there
was that to do and this to arrange
which rendered it advisable to wait
until daylight before his ship should
spread out her wings and sail away
The picking of the watches can be
more conveniently carried out before
the hurry and hustle of unbending and
with the cosmopolitan and part green
crew the selection of men for either
watch is not easy. The art lies in
equally dividing the good and the bad
and placing half of each in either
watch.

wREcKAGE AND STORM.

Purser Hart of the steamer Niihau, in
yesterday from Punaluu, reports as fol-
lows:
ION the outward trip we had light
and variable winds until arrived at
South Point, Cape Kalae. when we en-
countered' strong northeast winds. We
commenced loading sugar at a. m. on
Thursday.
ON our return, when off HQnuapo,
saw a large piece Of timber with eye
bolts in it. Could not say what it may
have been used for.
From s p. m, Saturday, TO about

causing the vessel to ship a great
amount of water, the captains room
and other rooms at times being flooded.

AN AIRSHIP FATALITY.

The whole country will join in re-
greet over the sad tragedy which be-
fell the Orvile Wright aeroplane,
killing Lieutenant Selfridge and in.
juring Wright. And there will be re,
joicing that President Roosevelt had
not yet succeeded in accompanying
Wright in the aerial flight. for 1t
might as easily have been the presi.
dent as not, in view of the fact that
the president only recently insisted
upon being allowed to make the trip
This death comes as a sacrifice to
scientific progress. All progress has
it's cost, and the tax of human life
must accompany experiments in
aerial navigation.
The fact that he died at his post OF
duty, at work and not at play, makes
the death of Lieutenant Selfridge al,
the more pitiable.
The government should erect a
monument to Selfridge at the spot
where he met his death, and the
Wright airship should certainly be
accepted without further tests. If
view of the splendid records that il
has already made.

Hoskins Headlight: A great amount
of attention is being paid to the pro
posed opening of Trip county to
homesteaders in October. While the
price of Sc per acre seems high for
homestead, those farms that were
opened in Gregory county a few years
ago are selling at $50 an acre and the
land in Trip Is just as good and
some say better. A large crowd will
probably go from this vicinity to
O'Neill to register.

There will be no objection raised to
Hollands evident intention to give
Venezuela a spanking. Under the UNI
speakable Castro this impudent little
republic has been hurting defiances
into the teeth of the world powers for
a long time, and the rest of the world
will look on with satisfaction if the
Dutch take it upon themselves to ad-
minister the rebuke so richly deserved.
1t is to be hoped, however, that not
many of Castro's innocent people will
have to suffer for his indiscretions.

Mark Twain once edited the Virginia
City Enterprise He tells of a super
stitious subscriber who, finding a
spider in his paper, wrote to ask
whether his discovery was a sign of
good or bad luck. The reply, in the
answers to correspondents column,
was as follows: Neither good luck
nor bad. The spider was merely look
ing over our pages to find out what
merchant was not advertising, so that
it could spin its web across his door
and lead free and undisturbed ex-
istence forever"

it is highly important that the matter
should be regularly and carefully

"Sponging" is not usually looked
upon as a very commendable line Of
business, but the spongers who work
at Key West and Nassau are not even
distantly related to the loafer who
bears that name in society. The de-
mand for sponges is a growing one, as
they are necessary in many lines of
manufacture as well as in hospitals
and homes. The men who "hook" or
gather them follow a strenuous life
and cannot live many years. 1t devel-
ops enormous strength in the arms and
shoulders, and in Key West some Of
the men and boys appear top heavy, so

Andrew Carnegie has added $10,-
100000 to the endowment of the Pitts

twenty-five years ago would have
been an unheard OF benificence, but
now 1t has become so much the Gus

give large sums for the good Of hui

1t has long been a practice among
the INSCRIPTIONS to dope horses with
some eXhilerating drug to enable them
to win races but it is forbidden and
fraudulent practice. Now the propo-
sition has been made to dose the hui
man contestants in athletic sports
with oxygen gas for similar pur-
pose. Aside from the injury resulting
from such unnatural stimulation, it
would seem as though athletic games
ought to have at least as high a code
of honesty as horse races.

Interstate railroads entering Okla
mona are in an odd dilema in con-
nection with the fierce battle now be-

the prohibitory law and the unsatis-

commerce commission to mark out
the straight and narrow path in
which they are to walk in order to
keep within the limits of laws which
seem under the present construction
to be decidedly conflicting.

Publicity and limitation of campaign

Publicity and limitation of campaign
funds is no new thing in this country.
In fifteen states there are statutes re-
curing that either the candidates,
committees or political agents shall
file itemized sworn statements of the
amount and source of campaign funds
passing through their hands. The pen
altes to enforce these laws vary from
fine and imprisonment to disfranchise-

effect that polygamy was practically
