Weaken Civil Service Laws.
Bills Weakening OF seeking To change

are plenty this year. Most of them are
oldtimers which have been fought

MAURITANIA BATTERED
AND DELAYED BY SEAS
Biu Cunarder Comes In Late
for First Time in Her
Career.
WAVE DID MUCH DAMAGE
It Split the Steel Shield of the
Promenade Deck, Injured
the Bridge and Broke
Several Windows.

The Cunard liner Mauritania. fastest
of merchantmen. arrived here yester-
day. battered and dirty. two days late
from Liverpool.
Never since she came into service had
wind or wave held her back until Sun
day. The great flyer, which still holds
the record for the speediest westward
passage. which has defied the elements
and made port consistently on schedule,
accepted the inevitable on the voyage
lust ended and cut down her customary
speed for forty-nine hours.
She has made GT6 miles in one day.
but the best she could do for the day
ending at noon on Wednesday was POI
miles. She has maintained an average
speed Of 2G.O6 knots for a westward
run. but 1864 knots was all she could
average on the trip ending yesterday.
Captain Dow of the Lusitania, who
brought her over for one passage two
years ago. hung up 4 record of DAYS.
10 hours and II minutes. Her time on
the present lIlp was - ddE anu - MIN
utes.
Captain Turner has faced some bad
weather i'm his day, and storms that
might appall the average passenger
have no terrors for him. So there was
some significance attached yesterday to
such entries i'm his logbook as Strong
gale" Very high head sea, speed re-
ducod for twenty-four hours" Very
high. confused sea and Reduced
speed for twenty-five hours

Some Seasick Passengers.


The big Cunarder rode well through
the gales that beset her. but she
plunged hard throughout Wednesday
and Thursday. Many Of her 9l6 pas
sengers succumbed to seasickness. she
escaped without damage until I'D a. m
on Wednesday. when succession Of
waves played havoc for'ard Of the
bridge. Combers were breaking with
such force and rapidly on Tuesday
night that the speed was cut down TO
about twelve knots. Had II not been
for this precaution greater damage
would have been recorded.
She had been rolling i'm confused
sea for several hours when the wave OF
destruction boarded her. Her bow had
frequently DIPPED under big seas. but
always she had come up easily. y
combination Of circumstances. however.
made her an easy mark for the food
that hit her at 2:4J a. IN. on Tuesday.
4 wave lifted her aft and as her bow
went under she rolled 10 port taking
the fun brunt e a cumulative sea. she
trembled violently for a short interval
and this uncanny and unusual action
awakened the few who were doing.
The majority OF her passengers had
been unable TO sleep. The shudder OF
the vessel caused much alarm.
Il was over so quickly. however, that
messages Of reinsurance from the
bridge were not necessary. II was
known on the bridge that damage had
been wrought for'ard, and the news
soon found its way TO the saloon. No
one ventured on deck in the darkness,
but at dawn. as the sleeplcSs travellers
came out for an airing. they saw what
the wave had done.

Three Monkeys Arrive Safely.

cocktails from cocktail glass. The
drink was merely orange Juice. The an

had too many real cocktails wanted TO
buy the real stun and treat the monks. 80
Colonel Caswell said he wanted to
bring over one monkey for his young

A BLOW TO, CLEAN BASEBALL

Baseball at Moiliili will not be patronized
long by clean sportsmen and the hest element of
fans if an occurrence like that of yesterday is
peated An umpire who stood up for impartial
administration Of the rules of the game was
blocked by the bowls of few disgruntled ball
players, and the weakened policy of the man
agement resulted in the overriding of the umpire
and the triumph of the rowdy ball players
The merit of Sunday baseball is that it affords
OR ought to afford-clean outdoor recreation
for crowds of people who cannot afford auto
rides or picnics in the country and who need to
get away, in this climate particularly from stuff
fly rooms and insanitary surroundings The
game is supposed to encourage physical and NOR
al control, determination and sense of fair play.
When this splendid sport gets into the hands
of rowdes it will be discredited by the very peo-
pie who now are locked upon as its best and GER
tainly its most profitable patrons. The gentle
man who umpired yesterdays game is a compe-
tent and a fair official and his decision should
have been accepted at once. The management
owes an apology to Captain Stayton, and GER
tainly every lover of fair play and every fan who
appreciates Captain Stayton's ability to conduct
game as it should be conducted hopes that he
will umpire the remaining games of the series.
tits also to be hoped that no more exhibitions of
umpireb batting like that of yesterday willbe al
lowed at M0iliili field. ~

GLAD TO SHOW II

Uncle Sam and John Bull, bound by the ties
Of blood, are glad to show brotherly feeling when
occasion permits. i.
Honolulu's British residents have not mOnop-
olized all the welcome to the New Zealand nor
the entertainment of her officers and crew. Not
at ALL Americans greeted the great fighting
machine and the men aboard with just as vigor-
Gus enthusiasm, and it was just as sincere, as
that voiced by the Britons.
This is not by any means the first signal ex-
hibition of international brotherhood that Homo
lulu has witnessed The ties are SO close in fact,
that they are scarcely noticed, SO familiar as TO
be seldom remarked upon.
significant statement the same line was
contained in the London Times on-he day before
the Fourth of July The Times editorially said
of independents Day:
SIT has become one of the established func-
lions of British. life, and we, who, rarely com.
memorate triumphs in our history, make an an
nual point of joining with the Americans in cele-
brating our greatest disaster. Such spectacle,
as is seen twice year in London, of Englishmen
eulogizing Washngton's memory and honoring
gJndependence Day, would be well nigh Hnimagi-
nable anywhere else.

There being no sidewalk on tie Val

destrians have TO use this roadway in
