1 soT MOSQUITO LARVAE AT ALL.
v A leading entomologist of this city informs the Star; that all of the
larvae w h ch be has becM, able to obtain, reported to have been found
KSal Shave bred out into what arc commonly called the crane ly
and ti e midget, both of which insects are quite similar to the' mosquito
?n the larvae for... and in adult appearance ami could be eas'.ly mistaken
for mosmiitoes bv the ordinary layman.
This gentleinan does not wi.h to let his name go to print hcciiisc
of the unpleasant notoriety given entomolog.sts who have not been able
to simport the conclusions of the lay authorities about the mosqiu to
breed J properties of the banana stalk : but we will assume that, ,f Ins
statement is challenged, he will be ready to personally defend -it.
CRIMES OF
The only excuse given by Russia for invading Persia, is that the
'latter has seized certain property of the brothers of the late Shah, a
Russian protege, and that, in the exercise of its sovereign rights it has
chosen to keep its foreign political and financial adviser m office As
the late Shah and his brothers are foes of the present government and
as Persia is free to employ whom she pleases, the 'course of Russia pre
sents .no other aspect than that of robbery under arms.
' ' The same thing is true of the course of Italy toward lurkey.
Before the invasion of Tripoli, there was no quarrel between the two
powers, and when Italy was asked for explanations " overt acts her
excuse was about as trivial as that of the man who said be had killed
his neighbor's sheep because the animal was about to bite him.

ART IX HONOLULU. y
It is a reflection on the art taste of Honolulu that so few of Miss
Withrow's pictures on free display at the parlors of the Alexander
Young Hotel have been sold. In a less prosperous day 1oth Scott and
Sandona found buvcrs for some of their best canvasscs.' and there is no
reason, in the quality of Miss Withrow's pictures, why she should
-prove an exception to the rule. The Star knows something at first
hand of this very competent artist and of how her pictures arc valued
by the connoisseurs, and it feels a sense of humiliation that she should
'be regarded, if she is, by any cultivated Ilonolulan; in the negligible
fashion of a peddler of chromos. There is many a fine home in this
city the walls of which could be redeemed from sheer philistinism by
some of .Miss Withrow's canvasses. Why tliey are not we do not know
unless the artist has made a mistake in asking a reasonable price for
her beautiful wares in the face of a prodigal Christmas': spirit. .

POLICE REORGANIZATION. .
The Star agrees with the Advertiser that there ought to be more
police and it believes that the force should be put on a modern basis.
For one thing the mass of it should not be of one color; and for another
thing the department should liave district stations. The town is getting
to be too hit to be served from one hcadciuarters. There ought to be
a station m 1 icated as to quicklv meet the needs of Waikiki, Kaimuki !
and .Manoa. and another to answer the calls frorn further Palama,
Kalihi and the borders of Kalihi bav.
suburbs. The need of reorganization was felt long ago ami will in
crease with the growth of the military.
TJie friends of Kuhio and Ashford now say tliat Governor Frcar,
who is to be reappointed, will not be confirmed. This is about the last
kick of expiring malice and stupidity. The influence of Kuhio and his
ring with the Senate is even smaller than is their influence: with the
House and that is best expressed by a string of ciphers. There is
nothing in Governor Frear's public or private life to deprive him of
Senatorial acceptance any more than there is to deprive him of Presi
, tlential favor, and any protest from Kuhio will only serveto stir the
.dust in a pigeon-hole.
Even if the German skipper who has, been arrested in England as,
a spy, turns out to be guilty, it will not necessarily prove that he was
in the employ of his government. That the Kaiser has spies in almost
every land and that almost every land, including England, has spies in
the Kaiser's empire, is probably true, but aside from these arc a lot of
self-appointed sleuths who coliect information to sell if they can find
a market, either at home or abroad. Possibly two-thirds of, the "intcr--natibnal
spies" are unknown to their own governments until they are
caught.

today, accepted with expressions of
regret tlie resignation of Naval Con
structor W. J. Baxter, as its secre
tary, illlness was the reason Mr. Bax
ter gave for rt'slgnl;i the olllca ho
had held since 1903.
Several papers were read today, 'ihe
general meeting closed tonight with a
dinner at which Secretary of tho .Navy
Meyer was one of the speakers.
Secretary Meyer declared that bat
tle practice is but a lest of engineer
ing appliances, and bald thifi condi
tion is bringing about changes in per
sonnel and organization. "Wo see
plainly now," he said, "that n man
can bo both a line olllcer and n.i en
gineer. In lact, he can not be a good
fighter unless he is an engineer."
Explaining his Ideas of ,ini-jigaiu:it-Ing
certain staff corps with the line
of the navy, the Secretary continued:
"The underlying princljile? have
been that all tho1 combatant elements
aboard ship should belong to the same
corps; that is, the line, and, further,
that all tho technical personnel 'that
co-operates to produce tha Mulshed
ship should also belong ti one co.ps;
that is the line.
"In the new line all officers will be
line oincers to begin with and will
then take up some specialty on shore
in exactly the same manner that the
ordnance, engineering, olojtrleal or
torpedo -specialties are now takeh up.
It Is not at all the intent that each
oltlcer shall take up all specialties,
but that each officer shall take up
at least one siecialty. The gain will
be In flexibility. The wonderful degree
of Improvement which ias been at
tained by our battleship should be
extended to every part of the service,
both afloat and ashore."

Trouble in Navy Circles.
WASHINGTON, November 17.
There are troubled waters In the navy
department over tho announced Inten
tion of Secretary Meyer to make
I'hilip Andrews chief of the bureau of
navigation.
Andrews Is a commander. For two (
years be has enjoyed the distinction
of being aide to tho secretary. He ,
oomes from the New York navy yard.
To make Andrews chief of the bureau '
can only be likened, It is said, to mak
ing a lieutenant colonel chief of staff,
of the army, a place to which lleuten-1
unt generals only were for years be-1
lleved eligible. .The position has nev
er been held by -n officer of lower rank j
than that of rear'admlral. The choice
of a commander 'is declared by scores
of officers, to bo not only nn Insult
to the line, but a bad precedent. j
Rear Admiral Nicholson, who now
holds the place, Is an officer of rare
ability and Is held In high esteem. He
has been slated for commander of the
Asiatic fleet.
