We must say that we do not why the Press was refused a passenger list last night at the suggestion of one of the employees of the Advertiser simply to favor a weekly newspaper nor do we care, as we are generally able to keep even Among the numerous resolutions passed by the National Board of Trade in Washington City is one which urges upon Congress the importance of passing stringent laws in order to prevent the "under-valuation of merchandise, imported into the United States, and, the prevention of damage allowance frauds." The appropriateness of adopting the cental system, representing one dred pounds avoirdupois, in the United States will be brought before Congress during the-present session. The cental system is already current in the city of Liverpool and throughout the Pacific! Coast States, andwill more than likely be approved and recommended for general adoption as the btandard for grain measure. This is the way it is done ; just as it was in the case ol the Prison supplies j it is put up so that one, man always draws' the fat card the modus operandi alone differs. For an explanation pf this puzzling puzzle see an article, or report rather, headed "Tenders for . Lighting the Streets " in yesterday's. Ad vertiser. The enigma is not so deep as Indian necromancy; when the intelligent reader runs against the name of a map who figured under the style and mat), tier of E, C. Fishbournc in the recerit Prison supply case, which attracted some attention at the time. It was quite unnecessary for the Government organ to attempt to explain the " pit up job " in the following pawgraph : .'The contract wits awarded to Geo. C. Strateme)er, who informed the Minister that he regretted his inability to begin the service at the time specified (March 15, 1S86), as lie could not obtain the necessary material in Honolulu, the nearest source of supply being 011 r rauciikcu, jjc was tuiiactjucmiy, iyr force of circumstances, compelled to decline the a,ward. v Mr. Fishbourne, the next lowest bidder, Vas then communicated with, the contract accptcd, and the service begins with thfs evening. It was quite unnecessary to thus explain the fraud, we say, because nobody excepts fool (good old Celtic is this word) or a Government supporter, whjch some people allege is a synonymous term, could be gulled by such buncombe in the face of the facts. Th,e "By-Authority" notice was published February 8th and the bids were opened on March 13th. The notice stipulated that the contract was to commence on the 15 th of March and continue three years. The lamps arc lighted, with gasoline The gasoline must be imported by the successful bidder, unless he Is able to put up a corner in oil as the Government is in bids. The successful bidder has exactly thirty-six days from the publication of the notice until he commences to light the lamps; during this time he must e awarded the bid and get his oil from San Francisco. Under the teigw4qfjhe notjce.hejias, exac'Jy two days in which to get his oil from San Francisco to Honolulu unless he has a corner in oil as the Government has in bids- Go to, poor tricksters 1 ye artj.but sorry knaves, yet ye do overreach yourselves when ye assume that the public is playing fool to your official knavery. Tk Soudan Rebellion. London, February 27 Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Mr. Campbell-Bannerman stated that any fears that the Arabs would succeed in occupying Dongola were entirely groundless.

TWO SAYS LATER NEWS BY THE "MARAROA." Tho Eastern Crisis London, March 1. The parleying which has been carried on for some time between the great Powers, concerning affairs in the Balkan Peninsula, still continues, but so far no definite result has been attained Bulgaria and the Porte have agreed to waive the projected defensive alliance which formed part of the scheme put forward by Turkey, but the Russian Government now takes objection to other portions of the arrangement Constantinople, February 28. The ncgotations between the representatives , of Servia andt Bulgaria, who rriet at Bucharest to discuss the terms of settlement, are now at a complete standstill, each of the delegates abiding by his own interpretation of the wording of the Treaty of Berlin. The term of the armistice between Bulgaria and Servia having now expired, the Roumelian forces are now moving northwards. Riots London, February 28. The operatives in the factories of Messrs.

The Em peror of Germany is at present confined to his room, suffering from the etiects of a fall. Tho Earth nml tho Moon. Once upon a time, many millions of years ago, the Earth and Moon,' then young, hot and plastic, were very near each other, revolving around their com mon center of gravity once in from three to six hours, and also whirling on their axes in the same time, so as to keep always Probably at sjme time before this they had formed a single mass, which on account of some unevenness of density or figure, separated into two under the rapid ro tation. But starting from the condition first named when day and month were equal and each about four hours long, Mr. Darwin has shown that it is essen tially an unstable state of affairs, and that if the Moon were brought ever so little nearer to the Earth, it would then draw closer and closer with ever-in creasing speed, until at last it would rejoin the parent mass; but if, on the other hand, its distance from the Earth were ever so slightly increased, then it would bcein to recede, and would slowly withdraw farther and farther from the Earth. As it recedes both day and month will lengthen: the month at first most rapidly and then the day, until finally, in some far dis tant future, a condition of stable equilibrium will be attained when day and month will again equal each other, the period then being something less than sixty of our present days, and the corresponding distance of the Moon about 60 per cent greater than at present. After that, so far as their mutual interaction is concerned, there will be no farther change, but mother and daughter will live forever happily apart. Professor Young, in Princeton Review. Burmoso Ponies. The famous Burmese ponies are not Burmese at all, but Shan, and are brought down from the confines of China, some 400 or 500 miles beyond our frontier. They are very sure-footed, and many of them are perfectly beautiful in symmetry. They are speedy for their size, and wonderful jumpers; they are very docile, for they are like the pure Arabs handled from their birth, and only require shoeing when brought upon the macadamized roads. They have a good deal of Arab blood in them, too, for a bhan has as keen an eye for a horse as a Yorkshireman, and many of them purchased officers Arab chargers in days gone by, and took them to their own country. The ordinary Burman pony is very like the "tat" of India, but they get through a lot of work, and a Burman will perfer one of his own breed to thatof the ably because they cost a tenth of what is asked for the latter ; but they are hardier, and will live where a Shan nonv would ttvrve. The saddles, bridles and strrups in use among the Burmese are very peculiar. A Burman rides principally by balance ; the knees are well away from the saddle, and when necessary they hold on by their heels. Only the great toe is inserted in the stirrup. Ungainly and unsafe as appears their seat, they oet over the ground wonderfully well and seldom fall off. The ponies are'all taueht to amble. and a good pacer will fetch a long price. All the Year Round. A Now Muslool Instrument. The "Pyrophone" is the latest musical invention. It is a novel instrument, constructed to make music from gas. Its compass is three octaves with a keyboard, and it will be played in the same manner as an organ, It has thirty-seven glass tubes, in which v HT5 v 4,?i r ffc' DAILY HONOLULU PRESS, TUESDAY, MARCH io 1886. a number of gas jets burn. These jets, placed in circles, contract and ex pand like the fingers of a hand. When the small burners separate the sound is produced; when they close together the sound ceases. "The tone depends upon the number ot the burners and the size of the pipes in which they burn, so that, by a careful arrangement and selection, all the notes of the musical scale may be produced in several octaves. Some of the glass tubes in which the jets burn are nearly eleven feet high. When the "Pjrophone is played upon with the keyboard it gives out a rich, full tone of remarkable delicacy, and to a great extent resembling the human voice. Yankee Doodle. Numerousclaims to the authorship and birthplace of this soul-stirring signal in song have been made since the nation first Svoke to her importance, and ever since then some native Americans have stoutly asserted that the song is not an American one; notably the accomplished Duyckinck mothers, m their popular "Cyclopedia of American Literature." These genial ficntlemen claim the sontr and its rnythm for Holland, and print "Yankee didel dudel down, didel dudel lanter" as having been in vogue in Dutchland years and years ago, and was the refrain of the Dutch garden-sauce planters and gatherers before Columbus thought of the New World.
