Army and Navy News

Major Winslow, Engineer Corps, q.
5. A, and Lieut.. Commander Moses, u.
s. N, in charge of the lighthouse dis
trict returned yesterday morning from
an official trip to Kauai on the light
house tender Kukui, accompanied by
the Governor, having gone to the Gar
den Isle to inspect the two sites for
the new 100000 lighthouse for the
northwestern coast of Kauai No Sc
lection has yet been made, as many
matters are to be considered as to the
feasibility of building on either site.
The Kukui took the party to Waimea,
arriving there from Honolulu on Tues
day morning, but as strong southerly
wind was blowing and as the tender has
not yet been supplied with surfing or
landing boats, such as are in universal
use ON the island steamers. the party
did not effect landing. The weather
was squally and the Kukui then skirted
around the west end of the island and
the party was landed at Kilauea.
The Kilauea site was looked over and
bearings were taken by Captain Moses.
Major Winslow inspected the site from
the standpoint of feasibility. The
Mana site was merely inspected from
the deck of the tender. Kilauea has
the distinction of being the most ex-
treme northern point of the Hawaiian
Islands group. The question is whether
ships will go around that side of the
island on approaching Honolulu from
the westward or pass through the chan
| mel between Kauai and Niihau.
The passengers found the Kukui a
very comfortable boat with good state
room accommodations and plenty OF
| room. She proved to be good, stauneh
| boat, and rode the channel waters well
| A peculiar thing about the trip was
! that the wind followed the vessel en-
| tirely on the tour around the island.
| Captain Rees inspected the vessel and
said the quarters for the inspector are
not as large as on other vessels, but
the rooms for the officers of the shiI
were roomy, great convenience, as
they live aboard the vessel all the time
Purchasing Service Supplies.
Delegate Kaianianaole sent the fol
lowing letter from Washington to the
Chamber of Commerce in regard to the
purchase of supplies for the army il
Oahu:
IT have seen the Commissary Gen
eral in regard to the purchase of army
supplies in Honolulu.
ssGeneral Shaw advises me that hi
will be glad to favor the purchase il
Honolulu of all classes of supplies tina
are produced locally; he thinks how
lever that, under the present army reg
ulations, it will be impossible to make

purchases of general supplies in Homo.
lulu. As has already been explained.
the Commissary Department does not
have to figure any freight cost on the
transportation of heavy supplies: this
would make it evidently impossible for
Honolulu merchants to compete in such
items as flour, canned goods and fruits,
which the government buys in Califor-
MA, direct from the producer
Another great obstacle imposed by
hthe army regulations is the requirement
that all supplies purchased in quantity
must be inspected by a professional in
spector. This would necessitate having
t a number of inspectors kept at Homo.
lulu, and would require the establish
ing of general eommissary depot
there, which he says, would not be just
flied by the amount of supplies that
could be economically bought in that
market
General Shaw did say, however,
that he would favor the purchase of
coffee, sugar, fresh meat, pineapples,
and other fruit and vegetables in Ho-
nolulu, so far as the prices offered by
local merchants would justify local pur-
chases. While we were still in his of
/ fee, General Shaw dictated letter to
i the department commander, indicating
his desire that Honolulu bids be con-
sidered on locally produced supplies.
| The General suggests that your Cham
Der take up with the Chief of Commits
sary, U.S.A., Department of California,
San Francisco, this whole subject, stat
ling to him your reasons for believing
that you could furnish certain supplies
for army use at prices that would be
satisfactory to the government. -
Tunnel Almost Completed.
The main tunnel being driven through
the rim of the Diamond Head crater
by the engineer department, connect
ing the mortar fort with the interior
of the crater, is nearly completed.
About fifty feet are vet to be pierced.
When the tunnel is completed the work
ing forces will have easy access to the
crater and the work on the second tun-
mel will be more accessible, as the
workmen may pass through the tunnel
from the fort instead of climbing over
the top of the rim and descending again
into the crater.
Nomination of Mldshlpmen
The bureau Of navigation in the
Navy Department is receiving nomina-
tions from senators and representatives
of midshipmen to fill vacancies foI
which candidates must be indicated by
March 4. The remain seventy five
vacancies TO be filed by nomination

NEW YORK, Feb. IA FIVE DAYS
convention to discuss the subject of a
larger and more efficient American
merchant marine began tonight in the
Metropolitan temple with Rev. DR..
John Wesley Hill as presiding officer.
The idea of the convention is origi-
nal with DR.. Hill, who believes that
the church has function to perform
IN advancing the material as well as
the spiritual welfare of the country.
The principal speaker was Congress
man William E. Humphreys of Wash
ington.
Humphreys called attention to the
liberal policy pursued by Japan in SUBJ
sldizlng her merchant marine, and
pointed out as natural consequence
the practical control of the commerce
of the Pacific by that nation.
81 do not believe, he said, ssthat
we are going to have war with Japan.
put oAC WIN tHdt Japan
has not the courage to make war or
the financial capacity to carry it out has
not read properly the history of this
great nation.
The speaker declared that it would
be a simple matter in the event of war
/ for Japan to land 100000 troops in the
Philippines and 10000 in Hawaii be,
fore the United States could begin to
start out her transports, Where Japan
has $50 vessels of her merchant ma
rine on the Pacific, the United States
has only twelve. In addition, he said,
there are 100000 japanese in the fish
cries and merchant marine where the
United States has hardly 1000 native
| born American sailors.

LAST DAYS Of
ROOsEvELT|SM
Strenuous Business Marked
Closing Hours of Past
Administration.
BY Ernest G. Walker.

Mail Special to the Advertiser.o
WASHINGTON, D. c.. February 20.
-" Good bye, Mr.. President "Good-
bye, Mr.. Secretary of the Cabinet, -
<'Goodhye, old Sixtieth Congress!'
There is nothing but farewell in the
Washington atmosphere this week. Not
au revoir, but goodbye. for of the
many scores that are going, few will
ever return to public life. Hurry and
hustle everywhere. Lights in the
dome of the Capitol late at night.
Lights, too, in the Capitol's thousand
windows. Lights late at night, too, in
the White House offices. Hurry and
bastle there-and farewell.
Washington sees such sights only
once in four years; often once in eight,
or twelve, or sixteen years. 1t is moth
ing special to see Congress die--as
Washington views official demises. But
row there is to be a change all around
even if it be with a continuance of
the same party in power. There is a
frantic rush everywhere to get things
done in the brief space remaining. One
day, two, three, four, five, six, seven
days more, from Thursday. For the
Inauguration comes of Thursday this
year, as it did when Andrew jackson
was first inaugurated, and Washington
Is now counting the days of the last
week of grace for the old regime.
Away TO the White House offices
they go in groups every morning.
1tJust to take you by the hand and to
say goodbye, Mr.. President" say the
politicians. IA jolly hunt in Africa.
Lots of good luck for the hereafter. -
The politicians no longer come to
<spay respects That old stilted
phrase, covering multitude of mis-
sions, will be doing duty week after
next. It does not belong to the week
from Thursday to Thursday-the last
week of the Rooseveltian calendar.
Heroic Work of Rescue.
And away they hurry to the big
marble pile on the hill. One day, two
three, four days, etc, they count up
there. Posthaste they climb the emf
nence early in the morning, in swift
automobiles, in staid old hacks, by
street car. The gavels fall at II
o'clock in the morning; soon it will
be 10 O'Clock in the morning. Oh
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-03-11

those belated little bills and those be-
lated big bills. Hundreds of eyes and
ears are alert every minute after the
gavels fall for the much-prized oppor-
tunity, when those little bills can be
pulled out of the depths of tens
of thousands of bills and can be
brought before the favorable gaze of
legislative authority. Oh, for that
swelling volume of ayes and for the
weak, thin chorus of noes! It means
life, life for the precious little private
bill. And if the opportunity does not
come, it means death-a smotherins
under the suffocating mass of waste
paper, which is all the tens of thou
sands of unpassed big bills and unpass-
ed little bills will be at noon of March
4 in this year of grace 1909.
But ffty-nine other Congresses and
Twenty-Five other presidential admins
trations have gone the same way that
the sixtieth Congress and the Thrift
eth presidential administration are
about to go. In a few days the vi
vacity and the hope, the expectation
and the courage of a new Congress and
a new administration will pervade the
seat of government on the Potomac.
Uplifted hands and solemn assevera-
tions of official oaths, as the new men
wheel into their positions. Not jog
or a jar in the governmental ma
ehinery! The great organization that
preserves life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness for 90,o00,000 of people is
well geared and thoroughly ordered.
Probably no other government in the
world could change hands with as lit
tie friction and as little detriment.
Another Emancipation Day.
And all in all, the old Congress and
the old administration are closing out
in fine fashion A few grumblers who
do not like President Roosevelt are
exclaiming. Emancipation day is
upon u.s. or e'The first of our two
Thanksgiving days is come" And a
few ardent Rooseveltians, brooding
upon the obstinacy of Congress, are
hurting last epithet or denouncing a
congressional reactionary. But such
things are incidents only in the great
quadrennial March show. On the whole
everybody is in fairly fine feather
except those who have been retired
to private life involuntarily. On the
whole, nearly everybody is looking at
| the good things the Sixtieth Congress
has done and that President Theodore
Roosevelt has done. And when the
words of praise are spoken, they con
suit the weather oracles for Inaugural
ton day.
President Roosevelt has rounded out
i the work of his administration. There
were half dozen things he wanted tt
see accomplished before he disappear
! ed into the heart of the inaccessible
continent He wanted to start re
organization of the Navy Department
"a subject very near his heart. He
has done it. After hard battling fol
months, he has seen Congress author
ize a commission, just when his battle

Wholesale Marriage Ceremony
Unique Feature of Santo
Domingo Corn Dancei Ko-
bakers Bombarded With Rocks

There was "a good sprinlling OF pale
faced spectators, many of them from
Albuquerque, at the annual green
corn dance at The Pueblo village of
Santo Domingo yesterday, and the
quaint spectacle fully rewarded the
visitors for the somewhat tedious
trip To the Indian settlement.
The white folks arrived in time to
witness the ceremony by which ten
handsome braves were united in holy
Wediock to ten winsome Indian
maidens. The ceremonies. to the
white visitors were chiefly notable
for h apparent lack Of sentiment
i'm the participants. The blush
ing brides were attired in the
usual costume of the Pueblo woman.
while the grooms had evidently made
no unusual outlay in the way of fine
raiment. They were married two
couples AT e time and. the ceremony
concluded, marched away from the
in single file. The opening
of the wedding march beaten
tom-toms served as a signal for
