acknowledge that the example set bv
Robertson was a proper one and stilf
thought that his appointment to a
judgeship would be harmful. He de.
clined to go into particulars as to where
he should or could draw the line be-
tween conduct that was forgivable and
what was past forgiveness. "This is
not question of forgiveness, - he said.

TO port yesterday afternoon from Ka-
hului. The Prosper is in every bit
as bad condition as was expected,
having 10 use her pumps the greater
part Of the voyage from Kahului to
Honolulu. High seas were encounter
ed on the return trip, thus delaying
the Intrepid's arrival at this port to
some extent.
The Prosper is deep in the water
though this is accounted for by the
fact that she has heavy load of ohia
ties on board. Around the sides of
the vessel these are stuck on end, to
keep the heavy seas from breaking
over the vessel. The sailors on board
the Prosper are inclined TO look on the
fact that their ship is aleak and in
bad shape from very serious point
of view, stating that they were lucky
the vessel had not gotten further out
TO sea when the leak was discovered.
While the matter has not been
definitely settled as yet, it is probable
that Captain Miller will secure the
contract for unloading the Prosper.
If so, he will put the ties in the bark
Alden Besse, Captain Denny's COM
mand, where they will stay until the
Prosper comes off the ways. The
schooner viii be hauled up on Lyle's
marine railway, where all the neces-
sary repairs will be made to her. The
local agents for the underwriters
which insured the vessel will make a
thorough examination of the Prosper
in order 10 decide whether or not to
TnrIy xx-il no h
gun on the discharging of her cargo
as soon as possible on account of the
fact that she is taking considerable
| water right along and it is necessary
to keep the pumps working.

MARINE

Bringing 359 sacks of mail. the AM
erican-Hawaiian steamer Virginian,
Capt. Colcord, was sighted yesterday
afternoon and was brought into her
dock at the Observation-Disclosures wharf
just before five o'clock. Besides the
large amount of mail which the vir-
ginian had for Honolulu, she carried
two passengers-Judge Cooper and
wife-and in the neighborhood of 1900
tons Of general freight. 3
The Virginian turned around in the
harbor and came into the wharf stern
foremost. Through miscalculations,
as she was being backed alongside,
the steamer smashed into the end of
the wharf. tearing up the planking.
The big freighter was soon in place,
however, and the work of getting the
mail out of her hold and on the wharf
was begun Immediately.
On the upper deck of the Virginian
were about 250 hogs, and Territorial
Veterinarian Norgaard was on hand
to inspect them. About half a dozen
of the porkers died on the voyage
down and some of them were suffer-
ing from some sort of sickness when
they arrived yesterday. DR.. Norgaard
made an examination of these last
evening.
The Virginian will discharge what
cargo she has for this port and will
then load about 5000 tons of sugar
here. From Honolulu she will make
nthar Island
ports, completing her cargo to the
amount of about 12,00b tons of the
saccharine product.
C. P Morse, local agent for the
company, had received no mail when
communicated with last night and was
consequently unable to state whether
there was any further news regarding
the new steamer which the American
Hawaiian Company is building for the
trade between these Islands and the
Coast. While the present plans seem
to be for the steamer to have ac-
commodations for but twenty-five pas
sengers, Mr. Morse is confident that
this will be changed and that the yes
sci, when completed, WIFI be able to
carry at least fifty people.

SIDE DOORS IN THE SUBWAY.

The first days test of the side door train on
the subway seems not to have been an undls-
nuted success But that TO be expected
since an experiment does not usually go OF
without hitch And it was especially TO De
expected because the operating managers appear
TO regard it's success as unwecome. Their anu
tude is natural enough. perhaps. since phey do
not want TO be put to the expense of alterations
in their rolling stock and OF additional PLATFORM
men at the crowded stations. But if they really
believe the new cars impracticable, they nave
gone about convincing the public Of 1t in the
wrong way They should cooperate fully IN an
effort 10 make them succeed, for then II theS
failed every one would be satisfied that they
had had fair trial and were really Impossible
But the elaborate efforts of their. opponents 10
create the impression that they are failure
are an excellent reason for hoping that they
will soon he a demonstrated success. II VIII be
hard to make the public believe that passengers
cannot be loaded and unloaded through two
doors twice as fast as through one, and thor
ough demonstration will be necessary to prove
that cars with extra doors in the sides, such as
are in successful operation In Boston and In
Chicago. were successfully employed for years
on the Brooklyn Bridge, and are now carrying
crowds in comfort and safety in Mr.. McAdoo

FORGETTING THE NAME

There were various cOmmemorations of the
great tragedy Of the Maine on Monday last
At Havana at Washington, at Arlington and
elsewhere there were pious ceremonials. These
We're well enough in their way or would have
been amid other circumstances and wore
gratefully regarded by the nation But they
were sadly inadequate to the occasion. The
one supremely appropriate and. indeed in
dispensable act Of commemoration which MIGHT
easily have been performed, and which had been
earnestly urged by the foremost authorities
was strangely and inexeusably neglected.
That act was the giving of the order bv the
American government for the raising of +he
wreck Of the Maine and its removal from the
harbor of Havana. and the reverent rescue and
entombment of the remains of the America
sailors who persisted with that vessel That act
has been urged in strong terms by the dis
tnguished statesman who has been serving This
nation as Provisional Governor of Cuba. II has
been urged by the President of the limited
States 1t has been widely demanded nv tbe
sentiment Of the people. The order should hava
been given and the work should have baen
performed long ago. 1t was a national Shame
rs let another-the observation-disclosures or
the tragedy pass leaving 1t undone
tatil that is done all remembering the
Maine.' however well meant will seem 10
the world a mockery- Until it is dore this
nation stands reproached with neglect of dutv
and forgetfulness of the brave and Iovsl men
who gave their lives in its service Until n is
dove our government must endure the sus-

AssuredIr nothing could be more positive and
,nouaIifed than the report Of the engineers in
favor of the lock plan for the Panama Canal
or than the approving comments Of the Presi-
dent in transmitting IL TO Congress. what
Congress will do concerning It remains 10 be
seen Senator Kittredge, few days ago, made
an earnest remonstrance against the lock plan
and an argument in favor Of that sea level plan
which was formerly regarded a matter of
course at Panama, and was, in fact. one OF the
principal reasons for the choice Of the Panama
route: and many members of both houses Of
Congress are understood 10 agree with him
Obviously. however IT would be a serious
undertaking 10 attempt 10 intervene with Con
gressiOnaI action to reverse the policy OF the
administration TO which the work Of canal con-
struction has been intrusted, especially in the
face of such a report as that which has just
been made.
Having once definitely directed the construc-
ton of the canal on certain lines. Congress is
presumably not bound TO reconsider the mat
ter. It does not need to take any action upon
this report, but can accept It as merely con
firmatOry Of the former decision; or il may In
its Judgment intervene with any modification
or reversal of plans which ii desires II cannot
be too clearly borne in mind, however. that
vacillatng policy or an indefinite keeping open
of the matter Of plan would be detrimental, if
not disastrous, to the whole enterprise. The
time has come when the matter should be
finally closed. The administration is convinced
that il should be closed on the present basis
In the shortest possible time Congress should
indicate either its assent 10 or its dissent from
that policy.
We have no idea that all Americans or all
expert engineers or all sincere friends of the
canal viii be convinced by this report or will
he persuaded that the sea level plan is not the
best. But at least 1t should be possible for rea-
sOnable men 10 credit these expert engineers
with professional acumen and prudence and
with entire sincerity, and TO place reliance on
the judgment Of the administration which is
responsible for the great work and which must
bear the blame Of failure or disaster If any
should befall ii. 1t seems 10 US high time for
dissensiOn and doubt TO give place to a cordial
support Of the canal enterprise and TO cheerful
confidence in its success

TIE EARTHQUAKE IN PERSIA.

In the news which comes from Western Per
STA there is impressive verfcatiOn of the
story told on January 23 by a score Of seismo-
scopes in Europe and America At that time
automatic records were obtained indicating the
occurrence Of a shock equalling that which de
stroyed Messina, and experts had no hesitation
In saying that the centre of the disturbance
might have been six thousand or even eight
thousand miles distant from some of the places
IN which the earthquake tremors were regis
tered.
No immediate tidings Of any serious disaster
having been received, it evident that the
scene was not in telegraphc communication
with the civilized world. One shrewd conjecture
placed the disturbance in Russian Turkestan a
region which is subject TO earthquakes and in
which the city of Andijan. where upward of
fourteen thousand lives lost few years
ago, is situated. Another suggestion was that
the principal effect had been felt in the Indian
Ocean. Both estimates. though cautiously Of
fered, are now seen TO have been close approx
nations TO the truth, and the only statement
made with conference.-the in regard to dis
tance-has been singularly confirmed. Luristan
is about seven thousand miles from Albany and
the Mount Weather station Of the United States
Weather Bureau.

THE BOSTON WITNESS

The excerpts from the Boston Finance Com
missions report given out in Albany by the
opponents Of direct primaries, are the most
serious criticism Of that system that has yet
been brought 10 public attention; for the BOs-
lion commission is a body of the highest stand
ing and its opinions are weighty Boston has
had direct nominations for several years
whether or not the system in use there is all
that IL might be Is not apparent-and il has,
nevertheless. had bad government A political
ring as corrupt any Tammany ring in this
city ever has ruled Boston, which, under
IL has suffered exactly the same kind of NAL
administration that New York has suffered.
New York under the convention system can
match every evil Of Boston under the direct
system: that whatever Boston has expert
eRced has probably not been solely the fault OF
its method 0f making nominations
