HONOLULU, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,
PROGRESS AT KIHEI
First Vessel in Port Since
.tie "Days of 49."
MAGNIFICENT PROSPECT IN SIGHT
Supplies Being Landed Cane Has
Been Planted The Water
Supply Certain.
KIHEI, .Maui, April 15. Kiiiei in
habitants are being traatcl to the un
usual spectacle of a foreign vessel at
anchor in the roadstead. Thi t.hreo
masted schooner Ida McKay camv. in
last Tuesday, direct from Gray'.-: In
let, and is discharging a cargo
of lumber for the plantation.
She entered at and will clear from
KahuluL She v. Ul probably complete
unloading on Wednesday or Thursday
next and will take in ballast and sail
direct for .San Francisco.
This arrival is notable in that no
foreign vessel has landed at this point
since the "days of '49," when a. fleet
of vessels used to supply the Califor
nia imarket with wheat and potatoes
raised in Kula and'Makawao.
A second lumber ship is due from
Gray's Inlet at Kihei, as is also the
"Defender," from San Francisco. The
latter is loaded with fence posts,. red
wood lumber and nearly two miles of
20-inch cast iron pipe, the first In
stalment of the large order placed Jast
fall, with which to irrigate the first
main crop of cane. The laying of this
pipe will be proceeded with immed
iately. , .
The plantation is prepared to. h:.iJe
this pipe and all other heavy freight
in the most approved fashion.
The Honolulu Iron Works has con
structed heavy iron buoys which, with
anchors and chains capable of hold
ing the largest vessels, will enable
ships to haul in within a few hundred
feet of the wharf.
Sorrenson & Lyle have constructed
two large lighters, which were put In
to use Jast week.
A heavy hoisting derrick has been
built on the end of the wharf and a
steam hoisting engine, capable of
hoisting 12 tons, placed in positon.
The plantation railroad track runs
out onto the wharf and from thence
will run to all parts of the plantation.
About three-quarters of a mile is al
ready completed, extending to the
warehouse, stables, and to each of the
three pumping stations. Civil Engi
neer Hauxhurst lhas laid out a com
prehensive railroad plan .for the whole
plantation, and grading is now in
progress.
The steam plows have arrived, via
Kahului, where they were set up and
brought overland by the veteran
steam plow engineer, John Winter,
who brought to the country the first
steam plows, which were used at
Spreckelsvil'le. Mr. Winter has been
permanently engaged at Kihei. He
moved into his new home on Friday
last, with his wife and three children.
The makai lands now being planted
are eo light that they do not need
plowing, furrowing merely being suf
ficient. One of the traction engines
is engaged in running a developing
pump at qne of the wells and the
other is hauling rock for foundations.
About 130 acres of cane are already
planted and planting will continue
steadily. Three hundred laborers are
now at work.
Three dug wells are now being de
veloped at distances of 200 and 400
feet apart. .They are all about half a
mile from the eea. The water in them
ries from 2 feet 7 inches to 4 feet
above sea level, those inland rising
highest. They will all 'be connected by
underground tunnel, through which
the water will all be conducted to a
central pumping station.
The development of these wells is
progressing steadily, an increase of
water marking each foot of advance.
On Friday last experimental drill
holes were sunk to a depth of 9 feet
by a 2Va in. steam drill at the bottom
of the shaft of well number 3, result
ing in three miniature artesian wells,
which spouted water to a height of
15 inches. The water is as clear as
crystal and so sweet that the ealine
tinge is barely perceptible.
MONDAY, APRIL 17, 1S99.
The air compressor for running two
air power drills for working in the
water tunnels is nearly erected. A
steam hoist for lifting rock from the
well shafts will also be put in opera
tion during the next tew days. With
these facilities the water development
will proceed even raor3 rapidly than
in the past. The management, while
pushing the tdevelcpment of the vis
ible water supply, is doing some ex
perimenting as well. As the water
rises higher ,the further the distance
from the sea, it appears .manifest that
its source is the slopes of Haleakala.
The McCandless Brothers have there
fore been engaged to immediately put
clown four artesian wells at an eleva
tion of 200 feet above the sea level.
If, as is expected, water is found, it
will be raised to the surface by "deep
well pumps," at the bottom of the
wells, assisted by compressed air, and
the water allowed to run down hill in
an open ditch, instead of being
pumped up hill through a mile of ex
pensive pipe.
Mr. Schussler, the head engineer of
the Spring Valley Water Works, of
San Francisco, has been engaged as
consulting engineer by the Kihei plan
tation, and is specially designing the
pumps and engines for this experi
ment. CHANGED STATUS.
Rev, A. Mackintosh Comments
Upon Present Conditions.
At St. Andrew's Cathedral yesterday
morning, Rev. Alexander Mackintosh
read the address of Bishop Willis as
published last week and commented
at some length on the changed condi
tions that the members of the Anglican
communion on the Islands would find
themselves in when the church here
would be merged into that of the 'Epis
copal Church of America.
The Church in Hawaii during the
last-30 years has never contributed to
anyextent' towards ttie" support of the
Bishop, all such funds coming from
England and even the clergy of the
Anglican Cljurch here have drawn their
support from the missionary societies
in England. The Annexation of the
church will change all this. Missionary
bishops and clergy of the western states
will hardly permit the diverting of
funds from them to aid a church in
such an Eldorado as Americans now
presume Hawaii to be. Business
methods must be used in husbanding
and increasing the income of the
church here.
Following the advice of the Bishop
the members of the Episcopal church
here must look forward to the near
future when all the support of the
clergy must fall upon their shoulders.
Though the time is one of transition it
must not be one of disintegration but
rather draw closer all churchmen to
loyal and self sacrificing acts.
At both morning and evening services
of the Second Congregation yesterday
there was a large attendance. At the
vestry meeting to be held next Wednes
day at 7:30 p. m. at the parsonage, an
address to the Bishop in regard to the
proposed new status win be moved.
A fcteel Beauty.
The four-masted steel bark Erskine
M. Phelps, the first sailing vessel ever
built in the United States of American
steel, arrived from San Francisco yes
terday on her maiden voyage. The
Phelps is American from keel to truck,
jibboom to spanker boom, and a more
handsome craft never sailed into Ho
nolulu harbor. She made a perfect pic
ture as she sailed up to the harbor
entrance with her snow white canvas
and black hull showing up in bold re
lief against the horizon.
The Erskine M. Phelps was built by
Arthur Sewall of Bath, Elaine, and
brings some hay to Special Agent H.
M. Sewall as cargo. She loads sugar
for New York.
A crowd of about forty natives of all
ages was arrested yesterday afternoon
at Palama by David Kaapa for gambl
ing.
A boy was run over yesterday on
Beretania street. He was taken into
Dr. Kobayashi's office, where his in
juries were attended to.
245 CASES MORE.

ISOLATION OF SIN
An Elopnt Disconrse by Rev.
I. H. Kincaii
CONSCIENCE MAN'S BEST CUIDE
G:oom and Loraeliness Follow Aa Act of
Wrong Doing-Se;arates Man from CoJ
The Cosp.M the Only Hope.
Last evening at the Central Union
Church Rev. W. M. Kincaid preached
on "The Isolation of Sin." His text
was Gen. 4:1G, "And Cain Went out
from the presence of the Lord."
A more signal, discription of the
isolation caused by sin could not be
found. Sin is the willful doing of that
which is wrong. A sinful state is
merely the choice of the heart and the
act is the outcome of the state.
Suppose a man has lived a life of
purity and integrity for twenty-five
years. Suddenly, we know not how,
he yields to some temptation, we
know not what. Apparently all is in
the same state as before. The sky
is just as blue, the breath of the
zephyr just as sweet. Hitherto the
brow of the man was unclouded, his
greeting was one of ringing joy. But
quickly the change comes. He is not
as he used to be. The universal
harmony is broken; to his darkened
mind all men seem his enemies. Deep
and absolute sorrow comes to him. He
feels the isolation of sin.
Sin separates 'a man from his best
self. The good man can look into
-his own heart and-commune with it;
he can gaze up'on the reflected image
of his own conscience. But the fall
comes and he hates himself. An en
mity has sprung up between his heart
and him. If there is to be happiness
and joy in this life, there must be
peace within. We ourselves must be
able to feel that we are right before
we can value the esteem of others.
Young man, the greatest trouble with
sin is not the danger of being found
out. After the deed is done upon can-
jnot say to your heart that you are the
same old friends you were before. Two
persons once congenial and full of mu
tual feeling, become estranged and firm
friendships are shaken.
But the worst consequence of sin is
that it separates man from God. This
must be the inevitable result. It is
not God who shuts the door. It is
the sinner. A single simple act of
impurity darkens the windows of the
soul which look toward God. An act
of dishonesty may be committed so
that he who does it .may be entirely
free from detection. No eye may look
upon him save the all-seeing orb of
God. Yet soon the feeling of loneliness
will oppress him. His isolation is
worse than that of a man in an open
boat in the midst of the gray ocean.
Above the blue skies smile; around
on every hand spreads the desolate
waste.
After an act of sin our friends may
be as kind, the heavens may be as
radiant, y-et all is dark and gloomy.
But out from the darkness and strug
gles of life the Gospel rises like a sweet
strain of strange, ethereal music. It
makes no difference how deep the
gloom of the night may be, over the
troubled waters the divine words are
ringing.'It is I whoso
ever will may come."
To Plant Cane.
A number of Kaiwiki homesteaders
have pulled up their coffee and planted
sugar cane. About 100 acres of home
stead land will be planted in cane this
year. This change has been made
mostly by Japanese, whose lots are
adjoining the plantation. This is no
criterion for the future of coffee on

looking as healthy and full of blos

THE LABOR QUESTION.
C. Woltcrs Favors the Open Door
to Japanese.
iLihue, Kauai, April 15, 1893.
EDITOR P. C. A The Government
questions the advisability of bringing
more Japs into the country. Schemes
of profit charing, etc., are purposed,
that have proved a success mowhere.
Does the Government know that for
each ten tons of sugar to produce, one
laborer is required? With all the new
plantations springing, up, .where is the
labor to come from, if not from Ja-
pan. Importing American farm hands
is idle talk; America has no farm
hands to spare. If it was not for the
Jap, California would raise aio beets.
By all means Jet ail Japs come that
want to come. Without sufficient
labor the Islands will be worse off
than ever before and the sugar in
dustry will be ruined.
Let the people .make up their minda
before the annexation business (or
form of admission) ds settled, what tha
best interests of the Islands are. The
Islands would fare hest if they would
become a colony, with a free hand to
import labor as much as necessary, no
matter from where, at the same time
they might enjoy a tariff protection of
say 1 cent a pound. That is ail that
might be reasonably expered and
should satisfy everybody.
Yours truly,
C. WO L I E RS.

Fatal Accident.
On Monday a rock-crusher was being
leveled by a number of workmen, when
one of them happened to touch a valve,
which turned on the steam and set the
machine in operation. Victorino Jose
Paz was prying on a wheel with a crow
bar. When the machine was set in
motion the crowbar was violently
thrown against his breast, injuring him
so severely that he died shortly after
ward. The deceased was a man of
about 65 years of age. Hilo Herald.
