Mr. Atherton replied to the speaker, detailing the work that had been done and the plans for the future, His private opinion was In shifting the system from the old to the new style It had gotten beyond the capabilities of the present manager. It was planned to bring an expert from Chicago to straighten things out, after which every ' -- thing. It was believed, would run smoothly. Difficulty had been exper- ienced In getting an expert, but the com- pany was now assured that a man would likely reach here In the next thir- sty days. Mr. Swanzy doubted that the scheme was a good one. His Idea was that If the present manager could not handle the system, a good man should be found in the east, brought here and Installed permanently. He opposed the Idea of ("bringing an expert out merely to act iaa an educator when fully .equipped men Vwero alwavs available. A. V.

It was Uielr Idea that traffic In crowded localities should be regulated by com- petent policemen, and that heavily load- ed vehicles, suclr as drays, should be kept out of such localities as much as possible. It was pointed out that Ala itea street could be used In place of Tort street by drays. Mr. Swanzy drew up a resolution to the High Sheriff recommending that the police take charge of and regulate traf fic in crowded streets. A second mo lion will carry the same resolution to the Superintendent of Public Works.

Justice Perry will resume his duties at once. STOLE SAMPLE PHOTOS. Some person or persons broke open the two large show cases in front of J. J.

Shingle returned on the Mariposa from the Mainland where he has been since July 20 on a business and pleasure trip. "On my way east," he said "I stop- ped at Omaha and talked iylth the Union Pacific railroad people about lbaulnga book dealing With the Ha- waiian Islands. While I was in Omaha before as a commissioner the company Issued an edition of several millions descriptive of the Hawaiian Islands. This advertising would have been of benefit to us. and we would have felt Its effect had not the plague come on and upset the calculations. Now the railroad company has appropriated quite a large sum for the purpose of is- suing another large edition. The new book will boom Hawaii In every way and will pay special attention to the ability of Honolulu to accommodate tourists. The purpose of the book will be two fold for in addition to Interest- ing the Investors It will also seek to attract tourist travel Immediately1. I have practically completed the wprk and all that remains now Is .to secure softie additional pictures and data of some of the new plantations, Aleander Young s new hotel, the census and a few details of that character. "Through the Mainland and especial- ly the eastern states I found evidence of prosperity. It is dlfllcult to secure laborers In the east everybody seems to be working. Before I came away I saw by one of the, newspaper bulletins that the Republican managers Intended to Ignore all other Issues and make the' flsht upon the present prosperity alone. The general sentiment every where seems tolbe that the Republican party will win, The same condition exists now that marked the presidential cam palgn.fouryearp ago. While the people seem to think that McKlnley will be re- elected capital Is holding off until after the election. The greatest confidence Is felt In the Hawaiian dividend paying sugar properties and a prominent cap- italist told me in San Francisco that were the election over and McKlnley elected he would take the entire bond Issue of Oahu Company. Tnis seems in h thp spntlment every where. I understand that the arrangements for the disposition bonds have been completed and all that Is necessary la the presence of Mr. Dlllngham. Elmer E.

' - Great Brltlan May Ultimately Hold the Balance of Power Allies Uncertain How to Act. LONDON. September 5. Affairs In China' are in about the most uncertain ; condition that has existed since the . .. 1 u . , , ' lmrrt tinw In tell whpthpr thn Alllpn will I leave Peking as It was to tell when they would reach that city. There is a lull In the negotiations now 1 since the surprise of the Russian and American proposition to evacuate Pe king was first broached. The other Tinworo nnnpar in ho nfinalrlnrlncv t Vi i. wisdom of leaving Peking. For their own part the Russian and United States I Ministers are considering what poclly to pursue In case the other nations should decide to remain In the Chinese capital. Whether to take the Initiative and withdraw In the face of contrary action and, what effect such a course would have, has been the subjects for many special councils of the American state department and the foreign affairs department of Russia. At the present time the attitude of Germany Is occasioning more specula- tion than that of any other of the" pow- ers and the policy which the Emperor William will finally announce Is being awaited with much Interest. In the stand taken by Germany both the Uni- ted States and Russia see the possible defeat of their plans of evacuation. It Is almost certain that Italy and Austria the other members of the Triple Allian- ce, will follow whatever lead Germany takes. Japan Is also counted upon' to favor of remaining In Peking. In addi tion to this the sentiment of France and Great Brltlan Is thought to be In favor of remaining In Peking, but It Is very possible that the former nation will not follow public clamour. Wa vering between her desire to remain In Peking, yet courting the friendship nnd a alllanqe of Russia, France Is not likely to hesitate long especially when the fear of seeming to auuear as the tall to the German Emperor's kite Is be- fore her. With France, Russia und America willing to accept the Russian proposi- tion the balance of power would He with Great Brltlan. Premier Salisbury is now at a health resort'but Is keeping In close touch with the foreign ofTlce In London. The French Minister of Forei- gn Affairs Is to visit him shortly and It Is believed for the purpose of discussing the policy of these nations in the Chi- nese question. In any event the fear of possible conflict 'between them has bPen allayed by the .approaching visit. On the other hand If Germany does not stand out there seerris little doubt but th other nations will nccept the Russian plan. The Geman sentiment appears to be however that the nllles should remain In Peking until they have had some positive assurance from the Chinese government that the present .trouble Is at an end and that peace ne- gotiations shall be conducted with ex- pediency. In spite of the suggestions of Russia to withdraw, none of her troops have begun to leave Peking nor has Gen-- il Chaffee begun to rtppif it Is hardly likely that any such move will be made until some definite answer will have been received from the other powers. Some papers appear to think that the Emperor William will delay an announ- cement of his policy until the arrival of Count Von Waldersee In China. By that time the Germans will have a force of 50.000 or more troops In China and will be In a position to act Indepen dently of the, other powers. It Is not likely however that Emwrnr win in m will attempt war single handed with the umnese, especially as his imnprini Chancellor and the German nrpss nn opposed to the vigorous policy which he uireaiens. No fighting of consequense has oc curred within the last few Vlnvs. rla patches from Peklntr are delnvprt slinw. lng that the Chinese are still operating ueiween I'eKing ana Tien Tsin.

Is Superintendent McCandless reported at length on his tour of Hawaii, relat- ing to In detail the work he had done In a looking over the roads and bridges and other public Improvements. To his' mind the requirements of the big island are very great and the budget to be presented to the next legislature will be unusually large. The superintend- ent of also referred at length to the re- quirements of the island In other lines, among them" In health laws. He con- siders It will be necessary for the gov- ernment to take care of sanitary mat- ters In different localities better than in the past.

Sir Chili Chlng Lo Feng Luh, admits the correctness In a general sense of the cable message sent to him, according to Shanghai advices, by Li Hung Chang, in which the latter Is auoted as saying: "Our St. Petersburg Minister lias per suaded Russia to leave Peking. You are useless If you cannot persuade Eng- land." The Chinese Minister here also says ho ha sent, a powerful memorial to Lord Salisbury urging him to aunere to the Russian proposal to yithdraw the allied forces from Peking, as ne, Sir Chlh Chlng Lo Feng Luh, believes it will pave the way to a speedy settle- ment. The Minister also said the Chi- nese people were tick of the war, that the genuineness ot il iiung unang s plenipotentiary powers was undoubted, and that LI Hung Chang was working In full svmnathy with the ismneror Dowager Empress and Privy Council, all of whom favored peace. The Minister added that ne nimseii was still In communication with the Chinese Government, whoso authority remained entire, and which was merely temporarily residing In the Province of Shan Si. No official pronouncement is yet forthcoming here In regard to the deci- sion of the Powers concerning China, but the consensus of opinion continues suggestive of a compromise on the pro- posals now under consideration. In the meanwhile here is little authorita- tive Indication that the Dowager Em- press Is ready to treat for peace, even If the allied powers reagh an agree- ment in regard to the best means of opening Tiegotlations. On the contrary manv rumors gathered at Shanghai suggest that she is carrying on her an policy wun increased zeui.

An Exciting Battle Between Gangs of Protestants and Catholics Photo- graphs stolen from a Gallery. The Logan soldiers hud a lively time last night In .town and fully met the police expectations' In the matter of of fights and disturbances, . The police torce was busy most ot tnjitght, work- - lng to keep the peuce, una me army men did not all get on board the big transport till Just before she left the wharf, at eight o'clock this morning. There are a lot of sore heads on board the Logan, as well as a goodly number head-ache- s, and some of the soldiers have carried with them various souve- nirs that aie unpnld for. The principal rows were In two up- town saloons, where crowds of soldiers had free rein for a time, and the main loser by the visit of the soldiers Is photographer Williams, who says he out about $300 on account of pictures stolen from his place, and damage done his show case. Knrly In the evening UL number of soldiers were observed looking nt the display at William's pal- lor. During the night the show cases were broken open, nnd almost every picture In them taken. The pictures were mostly photographs young ladles of Honolulu and of Isl- and scenes. Somewhere on the trans- port Logan nre soldiers who are carry- ing with them photos of several well known young society women of Hono- lulu. "A photograph of President Dole was left In the case, the thieves evi- dently not wnntlng men's pictures and not recognizing the features of the gov- ernor. In one of the saloons there was a fight In which over 20 soldiers took part caused by a religious argument. Half the crowd were Protestants nnd the otner nair (. atnoncs. a discussion arose after the drinks had been coming quite fast and the two sides were soon at It "il J I he police had adopted the rule of not making arrests unless absolutely neces- - sary, leaving It to the provost guards gather unruly men In. The fight In the saloon went on with varying for tunes till the men were tumbled out, to many of them with black eyes anil to bleeding noses. There was no victorious side. Catho- lics hit Catholics and Protestants hit Protestants and none knew the diffe rence, till It seemed that the fighting was getting monotonous. Policemen outside prevented any civilians from going Into the place, but did not at- tempt to enter nnd end the fntnllv row until the army's'ergearits had rione their share. Interference by the Honolulu ! police would have meant a serious riot. It was thought, with the shooting of some soldiers ns a result, for both sides would have turned on the uniformed offlcer of Hawaii. One nrmy sergeant had enough early In the fight. He suddenly came out and asked the police where the nearest drug a store wns. He Had tried to stop the fight, sold the sergeant, and somebody "swung on him" and now be didn't care If they fought all night. When the heat of battle was lessened the police cleared the soldiers out and they went to continue their nrgument elsewhere. A few heads were badly cut but there were no serious Injuries. In another saloon a ring wns formed between a soldier and a Honolulu boy who wanted to fight, and there wns a regular ring contest, with rounds nnd with rules properly carried out. It the onlookers very well, till the blood began (o flow fast, nnd then the order "pau" went forth. The Logan boys began slowly In Ho- nolulu, reaching town on a blue-la- w Sunday, but tho Honolulu police know that there wns nothing quiet about the conclusion of the visit. WILL BUILD RANGE.

A Pleasant Surprise In Tidings of Utt--- pected Moderation in Prison Trtat- - ' ment Its Possible Meaning, The Bow Wongs' relatives who were made prisoners In China on account representations made to the Imperi- al government by Consul Yang Wal Pin of Honolulu, and Yo How of Ban. Francisco, have suddenly been accord- ed much better treatment than they were given them first cast Into JaiL according to advices received by the Bow Wongs here, both directly and through the Bow Wong society of un Francisco. The Honolulu members of tho Bow Wong society were mude happy mis morning by news that all tortures of the political prisoners had ceased, and that they were being given unexpect- edly good treatment, though they are still In Jail. The news applies to the nrovlnca ot Kwang Tung, In which the great city umun ib lucuieu, anu irom which mot of thu Chinese in Oils country have come. It was in Canton that most of the leWtlvcs of local Bow Wongs who were arrested were locat- ed. LI Hung Chang has been In Cnr.ton much of the time Blnce the present troubles began, and It Is thought pos- sible that his counsel may have had something to do with the unexpected moderation In the Canton prisons. The usual treatment of u Chinese political prisoner Is cruel in the extreme. The Bow Wongs congratulate them- selves that the new order with re- gard to their relntlves In Jail Is the be- ginning of a policy In the southern pro- vinces that shows that the Imperial government has come to respect their power and Is afraid of them.

    Objections of Mr. Swanzy are AnsweredBy Mr. A'therton Police to Regulate

    The telephone system was given awhack In the Chamber of Commerce.meeting this morning, xne matter wnbrought up by F. M. Swanzy, whostated that the Bystem was In very badcondition and proceeded to attack thoservice. Mr. Atherton replied to thespeaker, detailing the work that hadbeen done and the plans for the future,His private opinion was In shifting thesystem from the old to the new styleIt had gotten beyond the capabilitiesof the present manager. It was plannedto bring an expert from Chicago tostraighten things out, after which every

    ienced In getting an expert, but the com-pany was now assured that a manwould likely reach here In the next thir-

    sty days.Mr. Swanzy doubted that the scheme

    was a good one. His Idea was that Ifthe present manager could not handlethe system, a good man should be foundin the east, brought here and Installedpermanently. He opposed the Idea of

    ("bringing an expert out merely to actiaa an educator when fully .equipped menVwero alwavs available.

    Several members spoke on the point.It was Uielr Idea that traffic In crowdedlocalities should be regulated by com-petent policemen, and that heavily load-ed vehicles, suclr as drays, should bekept out of such localities as much aspossible. It was pointed out that Alaitea street could be used In place ofTort street by drays.

    Mr. Swanzy drew up a resolution tothe High Sheriff recommending that thepolice take charge of and regulate traffic in crowded streets. A second molion will carry the same resolution tothe Superintendent of Public Works.

    Great Brltlan May Ultimately Hold theBalance of Power Allies UncertainHow to Act.

    LONDON. September 5. Affairs InChina' are in about the most uncertain ;condition that has existed since the. . . 1 u . , , 'lmrrt tinw In tell whpthpr thn Alllpn will Ileave Peking as It was to tell when theywould reach that city.

    There is a lull In the negotiations now 1since the surprise of the Russian andAmerican proposition to evacuate Peking was first broached. The otherTinworo nnnpar in ho nfinalrlnrlncv t Vi i.wisdom of leaving Peking. For theirown part the Russian and United States IMinisters are considering what pocllyto pursue In case the other nationsshould decide to remain In the Chinesecapital. Whether to take the Initiativeand withdraw In the face of contraryaction and, what effect such a coursewould have, has been the subjects formany special councils of the Americanstate department and the foreign affairsdepartment of Russia.

    At the present time the attitude ofGermany Is occasioning more specula-tion than that of any other of the" pow-ers and the policy which the EmperorWilliam will finally announce Is beingawaited with much Interest. In thestand taken by Germany both the Uni-ted States and Russia see the possibledefeat of their plans of evacuation. ItIs almost certain that Italy and Austriathe other members of the Triple Allian-ce, will follow whatever lead Germanytakes. Japan Is also counted upon' tofavor of remaining In Peking. In addition to this the sentiment of France andGreat Brltlan Is thought to be Infavor of remaining In Peking, but It Isvery possible that the former nationwill not follow public clamour. Wavering between her desire to remain InPeking, yet courting the friendship nnd aalllanqe of Russia, France Is not likelyto hesitate long especially when thefear of seeming to auuear as the

    tall to the German Emperor's kite Is be-fore her.

    With France, Russia und Americawilling to accept the Russian proposi-tion the balance of power would He withGreat Brltlan. Premier Salisbury isnow at a health resort'but Is keeping Inclose touch with the foreign ofTlce InLondon. The French Minister of Forei-gn Affairs Is to visit him shortly and ItIs believed for the purpose of discussingthe policy of these nations in the Chi-nese question. In any event the fearof possible conflict 'between them hasbPen allayed by the .approaching visit.

    On the other hand If Germany doesnot stand out there seerris little doubtbut th other nations will nccept theRussian plan. The Geman sentimentappears to be however that the nlllesshould remain In Peking until they havehad some positive assurance from theChinese government that the present.trouble Is at an end and that peace ne-gotiations shall be conducted with ex-pediency.

    In spite of the suggestions of Russiato withdraw, none of her troops havebegun to leave Peking nor has Gen-- ilChaffee begun to rtppif it Is hardlylikely that any such move will be madeuntil some definite answer will havebeen received from the other powers.Some papers appear to think that theEmperor William will delay an announ-cement of his policy until the arrivalof Count Von Waldersee In China. Bythat time the Germans will have a forceof 50.000 or more troops In China andwill be In a position to act Independently of the, other powers. It Is notlikely however that Emwrnr win in mwill attempt war single handed with theumnese, especially as his imnpriniChancellor and the German nrpss nnopposed to the vigorous policy which heuireaiens.

    No fighting of consequense has occurred within the last few Vlnvs. rlapatches from Peklntr are delnvprt slinw.lng that the Chinese are still operatingueiween I'eKing ana Tien Tsin.

    K OF SIR l (illMUST PERSUADE ENGLAND OlfHE IS NO GOOD.

    The Empress and Tai Yuan are Unrepentant and Anxious to Carry on theWar Earl LI.

    LONDON, Sept. 5. The Chinese Minister here. Sir Chili Chlng Lo Feng Luh,admits the correctness In a generalsense of the cable message sent to him,according to Shanghai advices, by LiHung Chang, in which the latter Isauoted as saying:

    "Our St. Petersburg Minister lias persuaded Russia to leave Peking. Youare useless If you cannot persuade Eng-land."

    The Chinese Minister here also saysho ha sent, a powerful memorial toLord Salisbury urging him to aunereto the Russian proposal to yithdrawthe allied forces from Peking, as ne,Sir Chlh Chlng Lo Feng Luh, believesit will pave the way to a speedy settle-ment. The Minister also said the Chi-nese people were tick of the war, thatthe genuineness ot il iiung unang splenipotentiary powers was undoubted,and that LI Hung Chang was workingIn full svmnathy with the ismnerorDowager Empress and Privy Council,all of whom favored peace.

    The Minister added that ne nimseiiwas still In communication with theChinese Government, whoso authorityremained entire, and which was merelytemporarily residing In the Provinceof Shan Si.

    No official pronouncement is yetforthcoming here In regard to the deci-sion of the Powers concerning China,but the consensus of opinion continuessuggestive of a compromise on the pro-posals now under consideration. Inthe meanwhile here is little authorita-tive Indication that the Dowager Em-press Is ready to treat for peace, evenIf the allied powers reagh an agree-ment in regard to the best means ofopening Tiegotlations. On the contrarymanv rumors gathered at Shanghaisuggest that she is carrying on her an

    An Exciting Battle Between Gangs ofProtestants and Catholics Photo-graphs stolen from a Gallery.

    The Logan soldiers hud a lively timelast night In .town and fully met thepolice expectations' In the matter of offights and disturbances, . The policetorce was busy most ot tnjitght, work- -lng to keep the peuce, una me armymen did not all get on board the bigtransport till Just before she left thewharf, at eight o'clock this morning.

    There are a lot of sore heads on boardthe Logan, as well as a goodly number

    head-ache- s, and some of the soldiershave carried with them various souve-nirs that aie unpnld for.

    The principal rows were In two up-town saloons, where crowds of soldiershad free rein for a time, and the mainloser by the visit of the soldiers Isphotographer Williams, who says he

    out about $300 on account of picturesstolen from his place, and damage done

    his show case. Knrly In the evening ULnumber of soldiers were observed

    looking nt the display at William's pal-lor. During the night the show caseswere broken open, nnd almost everypicture In them taken.

    The pictures were mostly photographsyoung ladles of Honolulu and of Isl-

    and scenes. Somewhere on the trans-port Logan nre soldiers who are carry-ing with them photos of several wellknown young society women of Hono-lulu. "A photograph of President Dolewas left In the case, the thieves evi-dently not wnntlng men's pictures andnot recognizing the features of the gov-ernor.

    In one of the saloons there was afight In which over 20 soldiers took partcaused by a religious argument. Half

    the crowd were Protestants nnd theotner nair (. atnoncs. a discussion aroseafter the drinks had been coming quitefast and the two sides were soon at It"il JI he police had adopted the rule of not

    making arrests unless absolutely neces- -sary, leaving It to the provost guards

    gather unruly men In. The fight Inthe saloon went on with varying fortunes till the men were tumbled out, tomany of them with black eyes anil tobleeding noses.

    There was no victorious side. Catho-lics hit Catholics and Protestants hitProtestants and none knew the difference, till It seemed that the fightingwas getting monotonous. Policemenoutside prevented any civilians fromgoing Into the place, but did not at-tempt to enter nnd end the fntnllv rowuntil the army's'ergearits had rione theirshare. Interference by the Honolulu !police would have meant a serious riot.It was thought, with the shooting ofsome soldiers ns a result, for both sideswould have turned on the uniformedofflcer of Hawaii.

    One nrmy sergeant had enough earlyIn the fight. He suddenly came out andasked the police where the nearest drug astore wns. He Had tried to stop thefight, sold the sergeant, and somebody"swung on him" and now be didn't careIf they fought all night.

    When the heat of battle was lessenedthe police cleared the soldiers out andthey went to continue their nrgumentelsewhere. A few heads were badly cutbut there were no serious Injuries.

    In another saloon a ring wns formedbetween a soldier and a Honolulu boywho wanted to fight, and there wns aregular ring contest, with rounds nndwith rules properly carried out. It

    the onlookers very well, tillthe blood began (o flow fast, nnd thenthe order "pau" went forth.

    The Logan boys began slowly In Ho-nolulu, reaching town on a blue-la- wSunday, but tho Honolulu police knowthat there wns nothing quiet about theconclusion of the visit.

    "made the riffle," and will restore theshooting booths of the National Guardat Kakaako. The old plans have beenlost and Sergeant, Elvln Is nt work onnew plans, which will bo used. If allgoes wen it should not be long now be- -iure melange is in use.

    A Pleasant Surprise In Tidings of Utt---pected Moderation in Prison Trtat- -

    'ment Its Possible Meaning,

    The Bow Wongs' relatives who weremade prisoners In China on account

    representations made to the Imperi-al government by Consul Yang WalPin of Honolulu, and Yo How of Ban.Francisco, have suddenly been accord-ed much better treatment than theywere given them first cast Into JaiLaccording to advices received by theBow Wongs here, both directly andthrough the Bow Wong society of unFrancisco.

    The Honolulu members of tho BowWong society were mude happy mismorning by news that all tortures ofthe political prisoners had ceased, andthat they were being given unexpect-edly good treatment, though they arestill In Jail.

    The news applies to the nrovlnca otKwang Tung, In which the great city

    umun ib lucuieu, anu irom whichmot of thu Chinese in Oils countryhave come. It was in Canton thatmost of the leWtlvcs of local BowWongs who were arrested were locat-ed.

    LI Hung Chang has been In Cnr.tonmuch of the time Blnce the presenttroubles began, and It Is thought pos-sible that his counsel may have hadsomething to do with the unexpectedmoderation In the Canton prisons. Theusual treatment of u Chinese politicalprisoner Is cruel in the extreme.

    The Bow Wongs congratulate them-selves that the new order with re-gard to their relntlves In Jail Is the be-ginning of a policy In the southern pro-vinces that shows that the Imperialgovernment has come to respect theirpower and Is afraid of them.

    Clinton J. Hutclilns, manager ot the- -Tnuio M,,ni r.ifp nn,minv tvhnkeeps a nlose wntcn on Chinese affairs.-- .nis0 received a letter from a Bow Wongfriend In San Francisco, In which wasnews 0f tne change In prison policy.it shows" said Hutclilns, who made

    friends with many reformers while hewnB in china, "that the authorities atleast In the Canton province, have come

    the conclusion that the best way Isstand In with the reformers."

    READ HIS EDITORIAL(From the Times, Hillstllle, Va.)

    I suffered with diarrhoea for a longtime and I thought I was past beingcured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that Ihad almost decided to give up all hopesof recovery and await the result, butnoticing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and DiarrhoeaRemedy and also some testimonialsstating how some wonderful cures hadbeen wrought by this remedy, I decidedto try It. After taking a few dosesI was entirely well of that trouble, andI wish to say further to my readers andfellow sufferers that I am a hale andhearty man today and feel as well asI ever dld-l- my life.

    ALSEN has no equal In color, fineness and sand carrying capacity. Itweighs less per bushel, measuring about 10 per cent more cement to a barrelthan other brands, which very materially reduces Its cost as compared withother cements Is therefore an economical cement to use, and specially adapted)for line concrete work.

    The following tests, made In actual work by Col. D. C. Houston, Corps offEngineers, U. S. A., at the seawall around Governor's Island, New York Har-bor, has never been equally by any other ement. It Is as follows: Tensilestrength per square Inch One day, 381 pounds; seven days, 600 pounds; thirtydays, 818 pounds.

    I SO IE II HANK iiATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION

    OF SUNDAY LAWS.

    Act of 1872 Greatly Modified by Law of1886 "Comfort" of the People Mustbe Considered.

    Hawaii's "blue" Sunday laws nre notso blue as they were painted. Yes, theyare blue, but subsequent regulationsmodify them so that a great denl oflatitude Is permitted. The law whichwas enforced last Sunday was passedin 1872. In 188G another law passed thelegislature, greatly modifying the oldone. Attorney General Dole has writ-ten High Sheriff Drown on the subject,giving It as his opinion that the olderlaw Is In some respects Inconsistentwith the Ideas of the later one, nnd sug-gests such modifications In police plansas may safely be allowed.

    In his opinion the Attorney Generalrecltes'the law of 188B (317 Penal Laws)and concludes as follows:

    "In the United States, Sunday uawsexcept from their operation works of ne-cessity and mercy, and wherever theyhave failed to do so have been declaredunconstitutional. Although the deci-sions are very conflicting as to whatare works of necessity, the generaltrend of authority Is toward a liberalconstruction. Running trnm cars nndrnlhvnv trains, sending dispatches bytelegraph, repairing railways to preventshort delays, shoeing stage horses to 'rieliivs to the United Stntes'malland running an ice factory that custo- -mers might have their dnlly supply ofIce, nre examples of what have beenheld to be works of necssslty.

    "Our statute Is peculiar In that It ex-cepts not only works of necessity andmercy but nlso "all labor that Is needfulfor the comfort of the communi-ty."

    "In a tropical seapon luwn, wunclarge numbers of people are transient,seamen and sailors, going on snore icm- -' 1 r. T ttilnb- itirltporary irum iuiik wjusco, a n,...an opportunity to purchase harmless re-freshment such as lee-co- ld soda andmineral waters, Is "needful for theircomfort." Under new and changing con- -,dttlons, I think such an opportunity Isalso needful to a large part of our ownpeople, and even those who have nlryhomes and Ice chests cannot Carry theirice chests with them when they taketheir Sunday drives.

    "Although there may not be nn equalnecessity for the sale of cigars on Sun-day, as smokers can more easily nrovldethem beforehand, so large a portion ofthe community smoke, and the comfortof being able to purchase cigars whenwanted Is so great, that I am Inclined tothink 'the sale might be permitted con-sistently with a reasonable constructionof the statute.

    "The statute Is certainly more liberalthnn the old Sunday laws of New England and evidently contemplates thecomfort of the masses during their dayof rest. It seems to me that It admitsof a golden mean between the PuritanSabbath of a century ago and suchconditions as might interfere with re-ligious worship and the rights of Indi-viduals to quiet and repose."

    lilt 11 10 IESPECIAL EVENT ARRANGED FOR

    NEXT SATURDAY.

    Oscar White of the Eva Has Offered aTrophy Bonnie and Dewey May raceAlso.

    After much challenging and delay arace between the Myrtle and Eva hasat last been arranged and the ownersof the former craft will now have unopportunity of demonstrating If tneirclaims of superiority are well founded.In addition to the Eva and the Myrtlethe Bonnie and the Dewey will also par-ticipate in the race. Oscar White asowner of the Eva offers a $23 trophy.The race will be sailed next Sundayover the regular course to l'earlHarbor and return. According to theterms the Eva and Bonnie will sail fromscratch, the Dewey will have a time al-lowance of 4 minutes while .he Myrtlewill receive 15 minutes.

    The announcement of this Interestingevent was made last n.stit nt the meet-ing of the yacht committee which wasarranging the details of the races forregatta day on Saturday. It wus thesentiment of the yacht owners thotthey did not wish to race for .uch fmalltrophies as had been offersd originallyfor regatta day events so fie value ofthe prizes will be raised. The yachtraces for that day will bo divide! intofour classes as was done July tth. Thobig race will be from the llghtho isa toDiamond Head to Pearl Harbor, and n

    to light house, a distance of 18miles. In former races tho yaents ex-perienced considerable trouble at theDiamond Head corner as the stake boatwas not to be found. This tlrne thecommittee will moor a red buoy with aflag. There will be a preparatory gunand the start will be made with thefiring of the second gun no matterwhere the boats may be.

    DOYLE'S NARROW ESCAPE.Customs Officer Doyle, brother of

    Chester Doyle, had a narrow escapefrom death during tho early- - Sundaywatch on the Pacific Mall wharf. Inthe darkness at about 3 o'clock he slip-ped at the edge of the wharf and fell.His head struck the bow of the Fear-less and he was stunned. He Is un-able to swim at all and would have beendrowned but for tho presence of a manon the Fearless, who heard him splashInto the water and hauled him out.Doyle has a deep cut In his head, wherehe struck the Fearless.

    'Districts are stirred up and there Is a, fever of political excitement In a large

    number of homes. That there should be" n. utrong interest taken In such mattersMs a 'sign that the people are alive totheir wants, and they think they areready to take their shnre In the burdenof governing and guiding. There can

    , lie no better Ideal than this. It has beenthe Ideal of every one who has frameda constitution for the past couple ofthousand years.

    There probably never was a moreaim of democracy and perhaps

    to a great extent a realization of It thanin the Greek cities and their colonies.They thoroughly thought out questionsjvhlch are now troubling ub, and they.worked the problems, to their finality. Itla, perhaps, not very satisfactory to us,In view of the many questions which

    "are coming before us, both local andwidespread, one was tempted to saysurprised, which is a convenient word"and, after all, In its origin means mere-ly the idea of rule not very satlsfac- -

    - tory to know that these questions haveleen argued, have been fought over,and had lives sacrificed, have had fam-

    ilies wrecked, have had, in fact all theills that flesh Is heir to, and never yet

    And' so we come back to modern po-litics. We get excited over them. Wewaste our substance and our brainsover them, we win victories which Inturn become defeats, and we think we
