Tho time for receiving sealed len ders for widening the Lower Nuuunu Bridge has been cxteuded to MON DAY, Jun 10th, 1889, at 12 o'clock noon. L. A. THURSTON, .. . Minister of tho Interior. Interior Office, June 3, 1889. 264 3t tii as gjatlg guttata Pledged to neither Sect nor Party, But established for the benefit of alt. MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1889. Lord Lonsdale's marvellous sto ries of his Arctic expedition, which on his sudden turning up in San Francisco produced a widespread sensation, are disbelieved by many of the American and Canadian journals. A memorial to the late Father Damicn has been suggested in Lon don. The erection of a substantial hospital on Molokai and endowment of a faculty of specialists to treat and study the disease would be u glorious and most humane means of effectuating the idea. A Sydney telegram says the body of a man has been found in a solid block of marble at a quarry near Orange. It is nearly perfect, but the head shows unmistakable signs of being scalped before death." Perhaps, however, the subject was a bald-headed editor, who willed his wig to his heirs. The atoll of Suwarrow, lately an nexed to the British Crown, is im portant chiefly in having the only good port between Tahiti and Sa moa, far superior in fact to that of Apia. It was acquired probably as a point of strategic importance, be ing the only British possession be tween Fiji and the Canadian coast on the line of the proposed cable. The London .Standard on May 14th said that Germany would not sell her estates to Samoa, nor yet would she refrain from chastising Mataafa. It is probable that the question of a chief ruler will be set tled by an agreement upon the or iginal Malietoa. But the land ques tion, at last advices still unsettled despite the rose-colored reports of harmony, was liable to be a danger ous rock in the path of the confer ence. There are more land claims than there is land in Samoa. The German warship Wolf, men tioned in some Japan items the other day as having been ordered from Java to Samoa, has arrived at Bris bane en route for that destination. The Sophie has reached Melbourne bound for the same spot. Germany having hitherto had three vessels on the South Pacific Station, there is no especial significance in these ar rivals. In accordance with the agreement between the three Powers, only one of these vessels will prob ably go to Apia pending the result of the conference in Berlin. Disease among sugar cane in Java, which strikes at tho rcots of the plants, has spread so alarmingly that the Government ef the island has taken measures against it. Plant cane from the stricken dis tricts is shut out from the unaffect ed or.eB, and its export from that island to lands beyond sea has also been forbidden. Heavy penalties are attached to breaches of the pro hibition. The foresight, not to say the magnanimity, of the Javanese authorities in prohibiting exporta tion of possibly affected plant cane should bo appreciated in other su gar countries. No official report had been made when the Zealandia left Auckland, but according to the Herald the theory df spontaneous combustion regarding the fire in the Mariposa had beenfdiscarded. It was believ ed that a spark dropped by a smoker engaged in loading the flax caused the fire and that it was smouldering before the steamer left the harbor. Very strange it is that smoking should have been allowed among handlers of such inflammable mate rial, but the Herald says smoking was going on even when the flux was dumped ashore for examination, un $5jJ J r 5S&fcSSK Ill it wan stopped by &, hurbor". hoiird official. The accident Is regarded as an unfortunate one, having oc curred iu tho first direct shipment of flax to San Francisco. It is suggested in London that a conference of experts with regard to the disease of leprosy should be held in Ktiropo. Tho movement can be in nowise premature, as leprosy is appearing at a great many points in the world. Hawaii is not nlone even iu the raciflc in respect to the magnitude of its infliction. New Caledonia, with an aboriginal popu lation of 25,000, contains no fewer than 4,000 lepers. The disease has obtained a foothold in the Chi nese settlements of Australia, and the Government of Queensland is considering the matter of establish ing a leper settlement on some out lyiug island. In case the project of a conference be carried out, the Ha waiian Government can assist, not only by furnishing a vast deal of information, but by recommending as members a number of doctors who have studied the disease on the ground. it is telegraphed from London that the Canadian-Australian mail J service is contingent upon Sir John Macdonald arranging with England for a faster Atlantic service. There seems to be an uncertainty of such a line touching Honolulu. Mr. R. J. Creighton, envoy of the Oceanic Company, has failed to secure pledges of support from the Colonial Governments to that company's scheme of a fortnightly service from San Francisco. The P. & O. S. Co. is reported to be about starting a lino of steamers between San Diego, Cal., and Yokohama, tvhich may call at Honolulu. The forego ing items comprise the latest news regarding future mail communica tions in which we are iuteiested. With all the discouraging features it need hardly be feared that Hono lulu will ever be left long without mail communications both north and south. Pacific Ocean commerce is not narrowing but widening in' its grasp, and the probability is that we shall have increased rather than diminished communications by steam in all directions. CHINA AND THE COLONIES. "The direct imports from China into Australian and New Zealand ports have increased from about half a million stetling in 1881 to three quarters of a million in 1888." Commenting on this epitome of the trade relations between the two countries, the Auckland Star says "it is downright impudence for the Chinese to make a grievance of the measures adopted in the Colonies to prevent a Mongolian invasion." The paper proceeds to cite on the one hand the exclusion of foreigners in China from any but thefifteen treaty ports, "forced open at the mouth of the cannon," and on the other hand the "almost indescriba ble moral pollution which seems to be inseparable from the aggregation of Chinese in European cities," and against which "whether by right or by might, the colonists will," it is confident, "strenuously refuse to remove the barriers which they have raised to protect themselves." It is all very well to talk about be ing "just" to the Chinese as the pro-Chinese advocates of this king dom have spent much energy in do ing, but the Auckland paper is on the right track in insisting upon a policy the salient principle of which is that a country must first of all be just to itself. BOLTING VS. PASSPORTS. Editok Bulletin: Some time since there was considerable talk about granting passports, and the great evil thereof. There will be no need for our Legislature to amend the law, when it is getting to be quite popular just to pay your fare up to Kahului, Maui, and take pas sage in some of the sailing vessels that leave that port (or the port of Ililo) for the Coast, thus doing away entirely with the necessity of paying any debts that you may owe in Honolulu. Why the law should be annulled I for one cannot see, as it is the only protection that our merchants, tradesmen, etc., have to compel the dishonest to pay up (if they hayc anything), and as we are blessed by receiving the "riff-ruff" of Cali fornia, who come down here for their health (poor dears), and after staying two or three months at the Hotel say-r-using carriages galore, and generally running in debt all round conclude to get up and get, and what can you do about it? How easy it is, "don't you know," to take a trip to see tho Volcano, say in tho W. G. Hall that'leaves at 10 a. m,, quietly conclude to stop at Maalaea Buy, laud theie, take express and rail to Kahului, and tlifit Very uftiha day tnlja psisitflA In some sailing vessel, and be 100 miles at sea before the poor deluded creditor knows that ho, or she, hns loft for parts unknown (to them) till tho return of steamer. No charge is made for this suggestion as to how to leave people m the lurch, and as many -rw ill want to leave soon, they may avail themselves of this hint, or be honest and pay their debts. Kii.a. Honolulu, June 3d. t U1 ' ' L'- A DIGRESSION. Editok Bullutin : Please per mit this digrestion from the further answer of Mr. J. F. Smith's first letter on Biblo intemperance, while 1 say a few words on Bide issues. You had better order up that "pension" for the great 1889 dis covery of that plain fact, "that alco holic wine caused the lust urunic, the first drunk originated negro slavery" (Biblo proof) ; "the quar rel over negro slavery brought on the American civil war" (historical fact). Hence it seems good logical reasoning, iu view of the above facts, to say, that "drink indirectly caus ed the war." Certainly n cause is responsible for all its effects dis prove it who can. Homer is "Antishamus" so far as "knighthood" or "canonization" is concerned ; but he may stand in need of the "pension" to buy pa per if he is expected to answer all the questions propounded to him by the Bl-i.i,i:tin's correspondents, and defend himself against their person al attacks. Their questions are short, but the answers are longer and more difficult. "A child can ask questions that may puzzle wise men to answer." And if the an swers develop new ideas, it shows that the woild moves, which it would not do if there were no original thoughts. My opponents should take things more calmly and not fly into a passion and call hard names when new ideas from an unexpected quarter upsets their fine spun theo ries. However, mj- opponents charge that 1 don't say anything. Why, then, are they vexed? Surely my words don't hurt if there is nothing in them. So it must be from their weak cause which they are trying to maintain before the bar of public opinion, and the unpalatable and unanswerable truths that we pre sent against it makes them irritable, and, seeing no way to defend their case, they pitch into me. This is quite encouraging, as it shows clearly that they truly have a bad case, and they must have attended the school of that as tute attorney, who being asked by his pupils, "What shall we do if we have a bad case?" His prompt an swer was, "Never mention it, but pitch into the opposite attorney, pitch into the witnesses, and if that don't do, pitch into the Judge, but never refer to your case." This seems to have been the studied course pursued by mv opponents, with I believe the exception of "Truth," who tried to prove my statistics faulty, but he won't write it again if we are ever permitted to criticise his proof and produce our own. Again, we are charged with "say ing the same things over and over again." I think if "Antishamus" will reflect a little, he will remember that Mr. G.'s questions related to the social, moral and financial phase of the temperance question, and we answered according to the tenor of all his questions. If I did repeat, it was because the samo proof an swered to force home the arguments on two or more questions. He will also remember that Mr. J. F. Smith staits off on what he calls the "re ligious arguments" of the temper ance question, and he quotes liber ally from the Bible to prove his in temperance doctrines, and it is with these we are now dealing and will have no need of repeating former arguments, as there is an abundance of material to form an argument without repeating. J no. M. IIonNi:n. A LARGE SHIP WRECKED. The four-masted steel ship Alt more, 1710 tons, owned in Glasgow, commanded by Capt. V. G. Weeks, was wrecked at Fiji, April 22d, on voyage from .Sydney to San Fran cisco with coal. When the captain sent a boat's crew ashore nt Viwn to look for a landing, there being sev eral passengers including a lady and four children on board, the na tives approached the 6ailors threat ening' with spears and the attempt to laud was abandoned. Tho sec ond mate, with tho passengers and six of the crew, then left in the ship's lifeboat and cutter, intending to make for Suva, which was over 100 miles distant. As they had not reached that port up to the time of the steamer Mawhera's sailing for Auckland, it is probable that they have been drowned, though they may have landed ou some of the smaller islands of the group. The captain and remainder of the crew were preparing to follow in another boat, when they were rescued by the schooner Midge all except chief oflicer R. B. Tumbull who was di owned by the upsetting of a boat, the others teaching the schooner by swimming. The Altmorc is a total wreck. NOTICE. JO.
