IN FAR HAWAII Republican Government More Firmly - Established Than Ever. RUMORS STARTED BY DESIGNING MEN Climatic Attractions of the Hawaiian Islands. PRESIDENT DOLH’S ADDRESS A Special Correspondence of The Evening Sta>. HONOLULU, June 17, 1895. Within a few weeks many editoriai para- graphs Fave appezred in American jour- nals which are thoroughly friendiy to the republic of Hawaii expressing a serious ap- prehension of our insecurity from internal difficulties. This strikes vs here as very strange. In strict accuracy, there has been no time since the monarchy was over- thrown when the gevernment felt less un- easy than it has done for six weeks past, or has felt more firmly established. The impression to the contrary which has been so generally diffused in the United States is wholly and absolutely factitious. It is a successful result of delibzrate malice coin- ing spurious reports. ‘The one canard which has naturally been the mest effective to the end in view was that ex-Minister Thurston, cen returning here, had become convinced that the only hope of sefety was in restoring the mon- archy under Kaiulani. If that story were true, unquestionably things must be in a desperate state with the Dole government. It was strange that so preposterous an in- vention was se widely credited by your pa- pers, although the American papers can- rot be expected to have very clear and mi- nute knovledge of our affairs. Probably Mr. Thurston's speech before the American League will have been effective in dispell- ing the false impression. The story was fabricated entirely from “whole cloth.” There was: not a shred or film of truth in its compcsiticn. Thurston has never for one second turned his thoughts in the di- rection of restoring moiarchy. He has never had the remotest cause or minutest temptatioz to think of restoring monarchy. There is nothing in Thurston's compos tion to incline him toward monarchy under any circumstances whatever, any more than there is to turn Hindoo or Mormon. The story was a pure, Celiberate, malig- nant invention of the enemy, probably with the object of insult ard annoyance. ‘he first legislative session under the re- public convened at noon of the 12th. The two houses of fifteen members each met togetker in the former “throne room” and listened to a fifteen-minute address from President Dole, after which the houses or- ganized saparately. There was @ large as- sembly present, ladies not in minority. A few officers of the Philadelphia and Ben- ningtcn came in, including the command- ers of the ships. Mr. Dole did not follow the former royal practice of declaring the legislature opened. He alluded te the then retirement of the advisory council, which for over two years had exercised legisla- tive functions. He paid them a high trib- ute of praise for wise, faithful, patriotic and Mcorruptible performance of duty. Op- ponents may qvesticn their wisdom; of their devotion and honesty there can be no question. They had held one hundred and fifty-two mectings—withgut pay. It was important to select the new council of state as early as possible. Five members are chosen by each house and five by the pres- ident. President Dole’n Address. Tke address was largely occupied with three topics: Public lands, immigration and the cable. A bill has been prepared in hope of aiding in a desirable system of so dis- posing of government and crown lands as to promote occupation by industrious set- tlers. Asiatic immigration is deprecated, Portuguese and other white immigration desired. As to the cable, it is urged that the government should go beyond assuring subsidies to private companies projecting the work, and itself take active initiative steps. The new republic of Hawaii had received recognition from all the principal govern- ments. With the exception of the insur- rection of January last internal affairs lad been orderly and prosperous. The ont- lay for its suppression and for the military ecurt had been ut $90,000, paid out of current funds. Annexation continued to be the policy of the government, earnestly sought Religious affairs were prominent among the “missionary” people in Honolulu. the Week before last, it being the time of the annual meeting of the association and mis- sionary board of the Protestant churche: It was also the seventy-fifth anniversary of the arrival of the first missionaries, and was accordingly made an occasion of re- view and reminiscence. Nobody sur- vives who remembers that olden time of slavery, famine, nakedness and human sacrifices, except a few decrepit old natives. The country has become civilized, opulent and beautiful—and the civilization is Amer- ican. The native Hawaiians participate in its comfert and luxury, but do not ride in frent. For this Americanization of the ecvntry the old missionaries may be re- gérded as the unintending cause. They guve the tone to the incoming civilization, and made it a place attracting especially Americans, Operations of the Mission Board. The Hawaiian missiop board are carrying on a large Mne of operations. They are working three strong “home” missions among the Chinese, Japanese and the Cath- olic Portuguese. The latter are a very good class of people, of fair morals, but thor- oughly illiterate. Two very capable pastors are supported at Honolulu and Hilo, who came from settlements of Madeira exiles located in Illinois. They have gathered quite strong churches among their coun- trymen, and in this city have large schools. For the Japanese ten or more Japanese preachers are employed, many of them paid by the owners of the plantations among whose laborers they work, and who consider their services valuable in promot- ing order and good feeling. Among the Chinese a number of workers are support- ed, and there is a strong force of schools, the whole costing the board about $5,000 a year. The Japanese and Portuguese work together costs about $8,000. For the whole of its operations the board expends about $22%000, of which over $20,000 are con- tributed by whites. Just now lies at the wharf a little twenty- ton schooner, the Hiram Bingham, which plies busily among the Gilbert Islands, ly- ing over 20:4) miles west. She is furnished with a gasoline engine, mak eight knots, on account of the strong currents and fre- quent calms among those little coral atolls on the equator. Her captain is a mission- ary named Walkup, who is apt to be on hand when wanted, and hustles around his bishopric of eighteen islands in a very lively manner. He has just been up to San Francisco, 2 yoyage of 5,000 miles, to gt his engine repaired after three years’ work, nd is on his way back. As is usual, he aun up to 40 degrees north to get favorable winds for the easterly passage, and had one gale near the coast that nearly finish- ed him. He made the Farallones only ten miles out of his reckoning. His crew consists of three Gilbert natives, steady boys, who can reef and steer. iso has two Germans on board, whom he intends to locate as preachers. The Gilbert Islanders. The 35,000 natives lve on low eand islets, nowhere twelve feet above the sea; but covered with tall coco (sic) palms, and pandanus trees, or serew pine. They have no grain, roots, or succulent fruits. Even the bread fruit fails to grow for lack of rain. The soil is purely calcareous, con- taining no elements that will sustain grass or ordinary vegetation. Besides fish and sea products, the sole food of the people is coconuts (sic), and the pulpy part of the pandanus fruit,which is shaped like a pine- apple, to which plant it is akin. White men are compelled to import food to sus- tain life. Water is brackish, from wells— the whites have tanks for rain water. A few traders live there, and collect copra, the dried meat of coconuts. Within five years, British authorities have reduced the veople to order. Before that Christianization was greatly impeded by fighting from the heathen party. The British management is sensible and effi- cient. The governor last year made what the missionaries thought @ mistake. They had succeeded in getting the chiefs to suppress the native dancing, which was grossly lewd, aud a source of idieness and disorder. Petitions were made to the gov- ernor to permit it. He looked at some dancing, saw little harm in it, and ordered that the people might be allowed to dance on Queen Victoria's birthday, which was at hand. He went away, and the people set to, and have been dancing almost all right ever since! This entirely broke up the schools, stopped work, and with dry weather, helped on a time of famine. Apparently, the Gilbert Islands can never possess commercial value. They are far south of any possible line of trans-Pacific trade. The harbors are insignificant. The land area is diminutive, and incapable cf producing any salable product ‘except a few coconuts. It is hard to imagine what benefit England can ever Gerive from their possession. Probably the British sovern- ment thought it best, in lack of securing Hawail, to get the nearest group to the westward, as they hold the Fanning’s group, one thousand miles south of us—a quite similar, but smaller chain of atolls, or coral lagoon islets, with rather more rain, and no aboriginal inhabitants. It is not till ten or fifteen degrees farther south that one comes to the famed South Sea Isles of tropic luxuriance and Poly- nesian nymphs, the theme of Herman Mel- ville, and later of Robert Louis Stevenson— all as unlike the sterile Gibert atolls as the green Alieghanies to Nevada sage brush. Nothing can be lovelier to the sight than Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Aitutaki, or the great Viti (Feejee) islands. But the tem- perature is too warm, and the climate steams with mo'sture, all in strong contrast with the dry and mild atmosphere of Ha- wall, which lies in the southernmost sweep of.the vast cold current from Alaska and Oregon. Cooled by the Alaska Current. This cooling influence which the Hawa- fian Islands enjoy is something not found anywhere else within the tropics. Exactly corresponding to the gulf stream of the At- lantic, is the great Kuro-siwo current of the Pacific, which sweeps majestically roertheast, past the coasts of Japan. But the gulf stream, originally smaller than the Kuro-siwo, divides off the coast of Europe, and the larger half moves past Iceland and Norway into the Arctic ocean, while a smaller portion bends southward to the Azores and Canaries. Unlike this, the entire vast Pacific stream turns southward. The Pacific is closed to the Arctic, save the narrow Bering strait. The Knro-siwo stream turns bodily east from the Kurite Is, along the arctie circle, where it parts with most of its heat, and, at a temperature of about 40 degrees,moves majestically down the coast of* southern Alaska. Its copious vapors condense along those shores, and feed the enormous gla- ciers enmptyirg there. Moving southward, this great current supplies the cppions moisture of Sitka, Vancouver, Seattle and Portland, and creates their cool but equ- able climate. Still farther south, it gener- ates the cold fogs of San Francisco sum- mers, and fills the California coast hills with coolness aff moisture. Along its en- tire route this Alaska current produces a climate on land like that of the British Isles—moist, equable, knowing little of either summer heats or sharp frosts. This influence tempers the otherwise heated coast of southern California, even as far as San Diego. But the greater body of this ocean current from the arctic circle has already widened out, and turned west- ward. Although fast gathering heat from the sun, it maintains a cool ocean for thousands of miles southwest, where it ultimately merges into the great slow equatorial current which belts the globe, driven by the trade winds from the east- ward. The Hawaiian Islands possess the inestimable advantage of lying well within the terminal bounds of this cold Alaskan current. It sweeps from the northeast past our shores at a speed of some ten or fifteen miles a day. Our eastern coasts are lined with sawlogs and giant trees, which fresh- ets in Puget sound and the Columbia have discharged into the ocean. The result of all this is that Hawaii is surrounded by a cool ocean, and that our daily temperature is steadily from five to ten degrees cooler than any other land on the globe in the same latitude. The Ha- walian climate is subtropical, not tropical. This quality of climate is especially en- hanced by the dryness of the wind from this cold ocean. The sea is too cool for copious evaporation. There fs little surplus moisture in the air, and ‘very little rain upon the shore, except on extreme wind- ward points im front of high mountains, as Hila is. Our perspiration is largely in- sensible, and our bodies keep cool. We have little of the “muggy” heat of Tahiti and Samoa, where one lives in a vapor bath. Like California. Hawaii thus really belongs to the same cli- matic division as California, and not ait all to the “South seas.” We enjoy a natural an- nexation to your Pacific cqast, by reason of this practical connection in the same ocean current. A thousand miles farther west and Hawaii could have claimed no partici- pation in the climate of your Pacific coast. As it is, our climatic affiliation is with Cal- ifornia, whose ocean coolness we partake of. One most important effect of this cli- mate is that it mak Hawaii a good “white man’s country.” The white farmer can labor out of doors here quite as well as he can in the United States. Of course, we must admit our lack of the bracing effect of the winter months. A new health resort is just being opened to ready access from Honolulu. It is the dry, but cool district of Waianae -nye.) The Oahu railway is being ex- tended to the Waianae sugar mill, fifteen miles beyond the Ewa mill, or thirty-four miles from this city. The track will be all laid in a week or t A number of agree- abie excursions have already been taken past the end of the bold ridge which cuts off the view of that west section of the island. As we pass the turn, a grand 0- rama opens of a great circuit @f extrerhely bold and rugged ridges inclosing broad, dry valleys. It is a style of scenery totally diverse from anything in sight on this side. A good plantation is there making an an- nual crop of 3,500 tons of sugar. The cane is fed partly by a stream from a high mountain, and partly by artesian wells. The climate of Waianae is exceptionally ary, because the prevailing trade wind is deprived of its moisture by two mountain ranges in succession. After crossing the long vertebral eastern ridge of the island, which strips the wind of most of its hu- imidity, it strikes the sharp western ridge twenty miles beyond, and drops all the rest of its suspended water. There is, however, one broad mountain top, named Ka-a-la (kah-lah-lah), which is over 500 feet higher than anything east of it, and so is able to squeeze a good Dit of rain out of the dry wind, and send a nice stream of water west to the plantation. The air, which blows fresh and cool to the shore from the mountain, is extremely dry. The shore has many coves with pretty beaches, and the surf breaks freely and noisily on the coral rocks. It is a good resort for pulmonary invalids, and totally free from malaria. About November and December, Waianae is apt to be subjected to flerce gales from the westward, loaded with rain, and for a few weeks the wild ridges in its rear are furiously smitten by tempests, which have sculptured them into grotesque and her- rescent shapes. This western meuntain is by far the older formation of the Island, and consequently more eroded and carve by storms. The railway is to be imme- diately carried forward around the west- ern point of the island and along the coast to Kahuku plantation ©,000 tons), at the north point, a distance of thirty-two miles more, or sixty-six miles in all from town. This will give us a freedom of outing ‘om the city not known before, and great!y en- hance the pleasure of residence here. The scenery on the route constantly and mar- y changes, each new section totally unlike all the others. This is going lo be- come the great and favorite excursion from Honolulu. The Coptec, which takes this letter, has beon only nine days in coming from Japan. We begin to feel as if ocean greyhounds were around. The flagship Philadelphia leaves us today for San Francisco, with Admiral Beardslee, who has made himself esteemed. This noble cruiser has become a familiar object in Horolulu harbor. She was here for about a year in 1893-4, and now again for four months. Of her many agreeable officers, Capt. Cochrane of the marines will carry away the warmest gards of our people for his many and cor. dialiy rendered services in public addresses and lectures. His last gcod work was a couple of stereopticon lectures to raise a few hundred dollars to buy new instru- ments for the leper band at Molaki. The smaller United States steamer Bennington takes the Philadelphia's place as sentry on guard at Honolulu. We are always glad to have a United States warship here, and feel safer, although no impending dangers are at present apparent, A pension for Kaiulani. One marked sign of the prevailing sense of security from further attempt to restore monarchy is that the government feel able safely to supply money to the ex-royal fam- ily, although yet in'a limited way. A pen- sion of $2,000 is proposed for Kaiulani. She 1s poor, and much needs it, and the govern- ment are glad to assist her. All recognize the fact of her havirg a claim for a liberal Support, derived from her former position as heir to the throne, lost by no fault of hers. Of course, it will be necessary for her to renounce all claim to the throne. Mrs. Dominis might have enjoyed a pension of $20,000 could she have yielded her claims. But that could not have been expected of her. It may be hoped that the idiotic rey- alist native papers may in good time desist from efforts to rekindle monarchist hopes, as they continue to do, and that the way luay be seen open for the government to make things comfortable for the ex-queen. No English paper here indicates any hope of restoration, although the Independent has voiced fully the royalist bitterness. It has now succumbed after six weeks’ of fe, one editor, Norrie, going out of busi- ness, while Daniel Logan goes into the Evening Bulletin, which succeeded his former paper, the Dally Bulletin. The Daily Balletin Company became bankrupt. its plant was sold cut last week for a song. ‘The Evening Bulletin will mildly oppose the government, which is never a useless func- tion to perform. The native papers keep barking. They have just been telling their ignorant readers that a British commission is soon coming out to restore the queen. KAMEHAMEHA. ——+-+—__ THE DETROIT PLAN. How the Potato Patch Scheme is Working in the North, From Harper's Weekly. ° This season operations at Detroit are be- ing conducted on a much more extensive scale, and already 600 acrés have been of- fered, subdivided and placed under culti- vation. As was to be expected, the experi- ment commanded immediate and general attention. A dozen committees visited De- troit to investigate and report upon it, and this summer similar plans have been put in operation in New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Buffalo, Toledo, St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis and other cities. At a meeting of the conference of charities of New York city, held February 20, the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor was requested and agreed to undertake the work in this city. Mr. William Steinway placed at the disposal of the committee heving the matter in charge 340 acres in Long Island City; the Long Island Land Improvement Company gave the use of fifty acres, and Messrs. A. S. Hewitt and Morris Tvska contributed land in New York city. Thus far some forty-eight acres have been piaced under cultivation in Long Islané City, and quarter-acre allotments have been made to some seventy worthy applicants, all but two or three of whom are heads of families. Women and childrenwork side by side with the men in. cultivating their plots, and often display morc erergy and enthusiasm than the lat- ter. Seed potatoes, onions radishes, beans, pease, tomatoes and cabbages have al- ready been planted, and turnips will be put in later, the committee supplying the seed and the necessary fertilizers. Each allotment is numbered, and the holders are informed by mail when their plots need cultivation. Practical details are in charge of a superintendent, J. W.Kjelgaard, a gen- Ueman in every way fiited for the task: ard watchmen are employed to look after the grounds and give needed instructior to the laborers, a majority of whom are fcreigners. Many of them are absolutely without means, and this has prompted the adoption of a co-operative system, by which each laborer is permitted to draw 7 cents if married and 50 cents if single for each day he is employed on his plot, the same to be deducted from the proceeds of his equitable proportion of the entire prod- uct of the land at the close of the season. These small cash advances are a boon to the laborers, who otherwise would find it a difficult matter to travel from their bemes to the land and back, and they have been prompt to show their appreciation of the same. Indeed, all work with an indus- trious enthusiasm that promises well for the future. A large tract of land has also been placed at the disposal of the poor-of Brooklyn, in the twenty-sixth ward of that city, and active operations under efficient cirection have been in progress there for several weeks past. . It is, of course, too early to accurately predict the results of this novel and inter- esting experiment in New York city, but the success obtained in Detroit has clearly demonstrated that in every large city hun- dreds of families who would otherwise be a burden to the charitable and to the tax- rayers can thus be made self-supporting at a very small outlay of time and money, and, what is more important still, habits of self-reliance and steady industry taught to those who need them most. Moreover,wher it is remembered that a recent postal cen- sus has shown that there are 17,229 vacant lots (over 1,000 acres) below West 145th street and the Harlem river, it will be readily seen that nowhere else can the ex- periment be tested with greater thorough- ness or on a broader scale than in New York city. sae Those Hot Upper Roqms. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I live in one of the modern houses, with tin roof, and mansard covered with slate, and it seems like going into an oven when we go upstairs to the bed rooms. There is a large space between the ceiling and roof. Lut no way for the heated air therein to be changed, except two or three small gratings in rear wall, which amount to nothing in hot weather. I think it would be a vast improvement—and I don’t know why the building regulations should not require it— if there were introduced into the walls and roof surrounding that space large windows in number equaling those in the upper rooms for ventilation. They might be pro- tected with hoods or awnings to keep out the rain in summer, while admitting the air (see those in roof of Calvary Baptist Sunday school house), and sash to keep out the cold in winter. If windows were made to extend to the ceiling it would also add to the comfort of rooms in warm weather, though, perhaps, looking odd at first. I ‘think the building inspector should include the plans for ventilation and light as well as other matters. Consider the gloom in tack buildings! If the windows in one house were to face those in the next the space for light and ventilation would be doubled, while the dividing fence might be surmounted with a lattice sufficiently high for privacy—about to the middle of the up- per windows—which would not be as much of an obstruction as a brick wall is. A few deys ago I looked through a house nearing completion, and in the pantry, where pro- visions are generally kept, the only opening was about ten by twelve inches above the upper shelf, and out of reach from the floor, and fitted with a sash with four lights of glass about four inches square; and that opening was into one of those narrow al leys at side of back building. The light at any time and ventilation in warm weather in that pantry will amount to just about naught. Think of the smell from decaying matter getting poked away into corne: WEST ECKINGTOR. Safety Appliances on Railronds. The receivers of the New York, Lake Erie and Western system of railroads have applied to the interstate commerce com- mission for an extension of time within which to comply with sections 4 and 5 of the act of March 2, 1893, requiring roads to equip their freight cars, before July 1, 1895, with grab irons and hand-holds in the ends and sides of the cars, and with drawbars of a standard heigit, which has been fixed at 34% inches for cars on stand- ard-gavge roads and 26 inches on narrow- gauge roads,- with a maximum variation from such height “between loaded and empty cars of three inches. The matter of the application has been set for full hear- ing before the interstate commerce com- mission on July 12, 1895, at 10 o'clock a.m. ————_- e-_____ ‘Work of the Life Saving Service, The reports of the operations of the life saving service show that during the last year the total number of disasters to ves- sels at sea and on the great lakes was about 550. Of these 878 were on the At- lantic and gulf coasts, 170 on the great lakes, and 12 on the Pacific coast. The vaiue of the property involved is given ap- proximately at $7,635,000. The property lost is estimated at $1,254,000. Of the 4,618 per- sons on board vessels in distress only 75 were lost, as against 63 last year. The value of the property lost decreased dur- ing the year nearly one-half. The total number of vessels lost was 55, as against 91 last year. —_—___—__-2-—____ His Remains to Be Brought Home. ‘Admiral Carpenter, commanding the Asiatic squadron, has been instructed to take steps for the transfor to the United States of the remains of W.
