"Honolulu is at the crossroads of all
the world's great highways."
Thus Bishop John W. Hamilton, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, now
in these islands for the purpose of rais
ing Hawaii out of the territory class in
his church polity, creating a
missionary conference and finally rais
ing it to an annual conference and so
to the dignity of what, by analogy, is
statehood in the organization. Bishop
Hamilton had been asked to give his
impression of the islands and their peo
ple, corrected by a stay of some weeks,
and spoke very thoughtfully in the
larger view.
"I am a great believer," he continued,
"in the doctrine that the most ma
jestic drama in the world's history is
to be played out on the Pacific ocean.
We have been a wandering people,
since Cain went out into the land of
Nod, and the movement has always
been westward. All eastward move
ments of people, indeed, have come at
last to stagnation and retrogression.
That is to be seen in China and Korea.
The civilizing movement, and , the
movement of Christianity and progress
has been westward.
"This movement began long before
the dawn of history. The race came,
from wherever it originated, into
Babylon and Nineveh, and presently
there was a westward movement, and
those two cities were swallowed up by
the sands of the desert and oblivion
covered them. Then, Jerusalem and
Alexandria and Greece became the
centers of the next civilization, only in
time to decay, and Rome came up as
the mistress of the world.
"The westward movement of the race
continued, and the Goths and Vandals
swept down upon Rome and its civili
zation was overwhelmecTThen, and

HOPES
WHAT CARTER AND ROBINSON SAID.
The news was conveyed to Governor Carter last night by tele
phone. He was at the Haleiwa hotel. The Governor was asked
if he had received any word from Washington. His answer was
that he had not. The contents of Mr. Walker's cablegram were
then read to him and he was asked if he cared to sav anything:. His
reply was in the negative.
Judge Robinson thanked the Advertiser for telephoning the
news to him and said: "All I ask is an investigation. I may have
heen indiscreet in the matter that has caused the trouble, but a
small thing like that ought not to wipe out the effect of four years
of faithful work. I am greatly pleased to hear what has been done.'
WHO ANDERSON IS.

Carter for appointment to the vacancy on the Circuit Court bench

highly recommended to Mr. Sidney M. Ballou, of the firm of Ballou
& Marx, in a letter written by Prof. James Barr Ames, of Harvard
law school, and at once upon his admission to the bar entered the
office employ of that firm.
Mr. Anderson has the degrees of A. B. and LL. B. He is now
about twenty-nine years of age, and a native of Matawan, N. J.,

Jut, already, we see that the bal
ance of financial supremacy and so the
real rule has shifted to this side, and
New York holds supremacy. And even
as it has reached its highest point there
begins a measure of decadence, and the
van of progress reaches Chicago
Where are the Dutchmen who settled
New York, and the Puritans who made
Boston? They are in the west, and the
cities of the Atlantic seaboard are fill
ing up with the scum of Europe. We
do not draw to our shores what is best
among the people of the old world.
The best people prefer to stay there, in
their castles and in their settled abodes,
enjoying their wealth and leisure. We
get the scum, and two-thirds of the
i populations of New York and of Boston
is foreign. Nay. this tide of the riff
raff has reached even to Chicago, and
we see new centers springing up in
Los Angeles and in San Francisco.
CITY OF THE FUTURE.
"I believe, as the boys say, that at
the present moment Los Angeles has
the pull over San Francisco and yet,
eventually, San Francisco is to be the
great city of the Pacific Coast. The
advantage of Los Angeles lies in the
fact that the mixed population of San
Francisco has made it an immoral city.
The tide of progress is the tide of
Christianity, and in this progress San
Francisco has been slower because of
the mixed population and the larger
size of the place. But its redemption
will come.
"True progress has always been
marked by the swelling of the tide of
true Christianity. Rome, today, is re
trograding, and the communicants to
her are decreasing in every country in
the old world and on every continent
but ours.. Even in America, the pub
lic schools and the newspapers and

although his last place of residence before coming to Honolulu was
D-iuth, Minnesota. He is the son of a clergyman.
Mr. Anderson has appeared in court a number of times, although
he has never undertaken the sole conduct of a case there, and has
-written a number of briefs on the submission of cases to the Su
preme Court. It was gossiped about the clubs of one of his briefs
hat a Justice of the Supreme Court had said that it was among the
ablest ever submitted to the court.
FROM MAN WHO IS BUILDING
DIAMOND HEAD FREE TRAIL
Honolulu, Hawaii, January 20, 1906.
Editor Advertiser: I have for several years had the thought of making a
footpath up Diamond Head for accommodation of trampers. This thought finally
culminated in my going last month to Commissioner of Public Lands, J. W.
"att, for permission to do so. Mr. Pratt cordially expressed his approval of
the plan and gave his consent. In consideration of the above, I was surprised
to see in this morning's issue of the Advertiser that Superintendent of Public
"orks C. S. Holloway, if correctly reported, stands ready to bring some perhaps
offending party up with a round turn. The above is my first intimation that
Permission to construct this nath mav have been obtained from the wrong
sonrce. and as the intimation has now srone out in public print that trespass

This explanation is not in anv way intended as criticism on the Superin-
ndent of Public Works, and I have no fault to find at the feeling that his
Qartment, if it was really the right one to go to, should have been consulted.
Very truly yours, . X. Y. Z.,
The man making the footpath.
Elvin was sent down to Waipahu on
Friday with the police detachment to
assist in preserving order among the
striking Japanese. Yesterday after
noon while the Japanese were beinf
paid off, Elvin began hustling the Japs
about, shoving some of them off the
veranda and otherwise molesting them
and causing uneasiness among the peo
ple of the plantation.
Captain Leslie's attention was called
to Elvin's conduct. He watched him
for a short time and noticed that he
was behaving badly, and at once
asked him to leave the veranda and be
orderly. Elvin is said to have "talked
back" and to have continued his tac
tics. Leslie again ordered him to de
sist. Thereupon Elvin became angry,
and snatching a rifle from one of the
policemen, leveled it at Leslie. Leslie
and another officer sprang upon Elvin
and overpowered him before he could
use the weapon.
The armorer was immediately hand
cuffed and sent to the city under
guard.
Sheriff Brown and Assistant Sheriff
Vida are at a loss to understand El
vin s escapade. He is not a drinking
man, in the sense of imbibing freely.
He is thought to have had a slight
mental lapse and his condition will be
inquired into today.

(Associated Press Cablegrams.)
WASHINGTON, January 21. A petition of protest against the
destruction of the old frigate Constitution, signed by thirty thousand
residents of the state of Massachusetts, has been presented to Presi
dent Roosevelt. The President has suggested that the old vessel be
rebuilt and sent to Annapolis.
The frigate Constitution, "Old Ironsides," in which Hull gained his great
victory over Dacres in the Guerriere, during the war of 1812, has lone been re
garded in the American popular mind as carrying the glory of the old navy
down to modern times. A little time ago, however, Secretary of the Navy Bon
aparte gave orders for the destruction of the frigate or of what was left of
her as useless lumber, and at once there was a protest from Americans who
cherished the sentiment of veneration for the older things. This sentiment has
taken definite form, in despite of the claim that but little of the old Constitu-'
tion exists in the timber of the vessel ordered to destruction, and President
Roosevelt has acquiesced in the desire for the preservation of the ship. '.'
GOVERNMENT OF MORENO
ONLY LASTS ONE HOUR
A-
GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, January 21. Moreno's government
lasted just one hour. Rioting followed his assumption of power,
and many people were killed. Then the people rejected Moreno,
and proclaimed General Alfero, leader of the revolution, president.
Order has now been restored.
Yesterday's cable stated that the revolutionary army in Ecuador had en
tered Quito, and that Vice-President Moreno had assumed the reins of govern
ment and named his Cabinet.
RUSSIAN EDITOR GETS ONE YEAR.
Xick Peterson, the haekman who
tried to commit suicide by swallowing
caibolic acid and who was run n by
the polee for drunk when almost in a
dying condition, recovered rapidlv from
he effects of the poison, at the Queen's
Hospital yesterday, but became very
violent as he got better and was turned
over to the custody of the police again.
He may be sent to the insane asylum,
as he is a dipsomaniac and moreover
is threatened with delirium tremens.
The situation at the Oahu Sugar
Company's plantation at Waipahu re
mains unsettled, although no disorder
has occurred. Contrary to expectation,
the Japanese did not go back to work
yesterday morning, but elected to be
paid off. This was done and the men
returned to their camps. Manager
Bull told them that they would have
to clear off the plantation premises
before dark, but this they did not do.
The manager asked the police to move
the Japanese off the place, but Cap
tain Leslie refused to take this re
sponsibility, fearing that such action
might precipitate serious trouble. Man--
er Bull came into town last night
to have a consultation with his di
rectors regarding the situation. The
Japanese hold a big meeting at 9 a. m.
today. When they were paid off each
man contributed a dollar to a general
strike fund and there was talk of
marching to town, buying a big tent
and camping in Honolulu. The China-
n.en and a few Koreans went to work
j yesterday morning under special finan
cial inducements ana a dozen natives i
showed up and were assigned tasks
round the mill, which ran all day yes
terday and will continue to run to
day. Manager Bull hopes that Monday
will see the men asking to be taken
back. If this does not happen, the as
sistance of other plantations to solve
the labor problem may be requisitioned.
There was talk among the Japs at
Waipahu yesterday of a sympathetic
strike at Waialua plantation.
FRIDAY XIGHT IX CAMP.
Everything was quiet at Waipahu on
Friday night. Twenty more new Japa
nese arrived at midnight and were
quartered with the other recently-ar
rived men in the Korean camp.
A thorough patrol of the various
camps was maintained all night by the
police and stragglers were stopped and
questioned. The Japanese held meet
ings all night long and slept but little.
CHINESE GO TO WORK.
At 6 a. m. about 200 Chinese went to
work, as well as a few Koreans. The
Chinese were promised $1 a day for two
days, instead of contract prices. It

The Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Company is arranging a ten-minute
schedule for the Beretania street line
and a twenty-minute schedule for the

utes, respectively, have heretofore pre
vailed. Bulletin.
An Advertiser reporter investigated
a rumor to the above effect on Thurs
day and found there was "nothing in j
it." That is what Manager Ballentyne
answered when President L. Tenney
Peck asked him over the wire if he
knew how such a rumor went abroad.
Speaking first for himself, Mr. Peck
assured the reporter that there was no
purpose of anything of the kind next
month, as the rumor was, or at any
definite time in the future. True, it
was an idea that had been discussed
to have the Beretania street cars run
clear through from the Liliha street
terminus to Kaimuki, with a twenty
minute service, but thus far the discus
sion only related to what changes in
switches, etc., would have to be made
when the altered schedule was derid-l
to take place.
Before the additional service jvould
be given, however, the traffic would
have to "grow up to it." It would not
pay now. Ultimately, Mr. Peck hoped
the line would be extended from Kal
muik to Waialae beach, giving the peo
ple of Honolulu facilities to reach the
oceanside in a new direction from that
to which they are accustomed.
