Hlr Charles Timpnr, ex-premier
of Cnmulii, nays "French Canadian
loyalty to Great ltilliiin In large
ly thi to tin knowledge thnt nil
nexatiou to thu United Slates
would rosult in thu abolition of
their privileges hh to laws, lang
uage and religion." .Sir Charles
or nny other sir in the dominion
caunot hIiow wheiu thu freedom
accorded by tho I'nitud Stales iu
the mutter of personal, political or
religious privileges to every citizen
is equaled in any country on tho
cloho. In no country on earth iB
it so nearly a case whore iwlegu
is allotted to run into utmost un
limited license as iu the United
States.
Sir Charles is correct, notwith
standing these reiutuks of the
Tocoma Ledger. Tho Frouch in
hahitauts of Queboo were by tho
treaty of cession granted the en
joyment of their "laws, language
nnd religion" in perpetuity. This
is why tho Roman code is on nn
equality with the English com
mon law in that province, and
French is retained as oue of tho
official languages in tho courts
and tho legislature federal as
well ns local for tlioir sakes and
the Roman Catholic religion has
privileges of a special nature in
tho proviuco which are distinctly
prohibited in tho United States to
all religious denominations.

Captain Rosehill of tlio'schoon
or Norma, who visitod tho disput
ed Palmyra island iu that vessel
about the 2i!nd of Juno, furnishes
tho Bulletin' with tho following
luomorandn. lie found tracos of
tho recent encampment of thu II.
13. M. S. Penguin expedition on
tho island:
Palmyra Island was discovered
by Cupt. Sawlo, of tho Amorioun
ship Palmyra, in 1802. Ho do
scribed it ns 11 miles iu oxtont
East and West, and about half
that in breadth; Hat; with n lagoon
in its center 7 miles long in which
tho tido regularly obbed and (low
ed; and uninhabited. Tho Pal
myra anohored off the N W. Bide
o tho island, three-quarters of a
milo off shore in 20 fathoms.
Turtle wore abundant, but no
fresh water could be found.
Formal possession was taken
of tho island by tho American
Guano Company in 1839, and by
the Hawaiian Government in
18G2. Capt. Bent, in his letter to
tho Hawaiian Minister of tho In
terior, roports that "the island is
10 miles iu longtb and 0 miles in
broadth;tho eastern end rises about
20 foot above the lovel of tho sea;
tuejauding place is on tho west
end, and vessels can lie in perfect
safety in 3 fathoms water. The
trees on tho island are cocoanut,
puhala and a species of koa.
"All kinds of vegetables will
grow on tho island and I planted
some beans, corn and watermelons.
I erected a dwelling house and
also a cusing house for bechor-do-mor,
leaving ono white man and
four HawaiianB on the island."
Position. Capt. Sawle made
I'ulmyra Island in Lat. o 50
North; Long.162 23 West. Capt.
Bent placed it iu Lat. C 50Nortu;
Long. 161 52 Wost.
Later tho island was the pro
perty of the P. N. Co., of which
A. F. Cooke was mauuger. Capt.
II. Nissen of tho schooner Malolo
in 1885 landed a gang of natives
and one white man on the island
to plant and cultivate.
In thu latter part ot 1880, Capt.
G. B. Hollnud in tho schooner
Malolo took the men off the isl
and and returned them to their
homes, their time of service hav
ing expired.
Judge Wilcox, who is one of
the Hawaiian owuers, says their
property in tho island has never
be n conveyed. Ho does not care
under what national protection
the island rests, but his company
will not yield tho point of actual
ownership of the ground.
Captain Bosehill adds that he
would have brought tho British
anneaxtion signboard up with him,
but his cook broke it up for fire
wood. Tho board waB about two
by three feet iu surface, and muoh
of the inscription, including tho
date, had been effaced by tho ele
ments. The Captain "Bent," aB his
namo is given in tho Paoific Di
reotory, wub the father of the
Biudt family, of whom a lamo boy
is well-known in connection with
the Salvation Army horo.
On top of tho forogoing, the
following memorandum has been
handed to tho Bulletin:
Iu the Naval Chart of tho Paoi
fic and Western Atlantic issued by
U. S. Navy Hydrographio oflico
SQVoral years ago, Palmyra islaud
is colored "red," being tho color
of territories claimed by Groat
Britain.
Look Out lur &iiull.
Tho Pilot Chart of tho North
Pacifio for August predicts:
Squally weathor may bo expect
od in tho vicinity of tho Hawaiian
Islands, aud thunder storms on
the coasts of Mexico and Central
America."

The Kcwalo Bicycle Track,
to be known as Cyclomere
Park, is at last a reality and
"not a dream," thanks to the
energy and enterprise of Ar.
Desky, and will be opened
with a grand meet next month,
and all the young men and
perhaps also the lovely girls
will want to try their luck on
it. In anticipation of increased
sales on bicycles we have
quietly laid in a good stock of
Tn'bune Bicycles than which
there is none better in the
market. The Tribune is now
recognized in Ihe United States
as the best; it is the favorite
with aH the society people and
business men all over the
Union, and our own American
Minister lides one. Recent
advices announce a cut in
prices of low grade, but the
strictly high grade wheels still
sell readily at the former list
price, we have made better
arrangements with the manu
facturers, whereby we are en
abled to sell the Tribune bicy
cles at list price $100, and
.invite all intending purchasers
of wheels to come and inspect
our stock before going else
where. We have ladies' and
gentlemen's road wheels, racers
and all models manufactured
by the celebrated Black Manu
facturing Co. We also carry
the Columbus, Columbus
Juvenile for Boys and Girls,
B &.H Special, Zimmy and
Stormer, which are sold ex
ceedingly cheap.
