ATM EST ON. By the death of Joseph Ballard Ather-ton there is left a vacancy in the varied life of Honolulu which, suggested during his long illness, will remain, a constant testimonial to the worth of the man, So many sided was his character, so wide the range of his capabilities, that for th past quarter of a century he haa stood the tyiXcil American pioneer. The foremost place in the development of modern Hawaii easily is occupied by this unique figure.

In a communication from W. B. El-kin, chaplain of the Kamfchameha Schools, published in the Advertiser of the 6th, in reply to an article by JV N. Armstrong commenting upon the administering of the Bishop Estate, Mr. Elkin dragged in by the heels, the following statement, vbt: I have gradually been driven, and that against ray will to these conclu ions: "THE HAWAIIAN LAWS WERE MADE AND ADMINISTERED BY THE MISSIONARIES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS FOR THE ADVAN TAGE OF THEMSELVES, RATHER THAN FOR THE GOOD OF THE KA TIVES." The Advertiser has taken no part in the discussion concerning the Kame- bameha Schools, other than to allow the use of its columns for the purpose, and is taking none now.

The charge of selfishness and greed on the part of the early missionaries has teen made S'i frequently by irresponsible and aperf.cial observers that it is a -waste energy to reply thereto; it when a man occupying the responsible position that Mr. Elkin does, after deliberate tudy, makes the charge over hia own signature, he should be prepared to Justify hi3 charge with specifications and proofs. In the Advertiser of the 7th instant, editorial reply was made to eome of Mr, Elkin's statements, to which he in turn replies, complaining that there is no effort to refute his reasoning. There Is no reasoning on Mr. Elkin's part on the point under diecussion.

There is a bald, unqualified ttatement of fact, viz: that "The Hawaiian laws were made and administered by the missionaries and their descendants for the advantage of themselves rather than for the good of the natives." This Is not a matter of opinion, nor of in ference, or logic, or reasoning. It is a broad assertion of fact, capable of proof if correct. If Mr. Elkin has been reluctantly forceU to this conclusion nnd he says he has it must have been through consideration and study of pecinc laws and individual acts. If so, It is not just nor'honorable for him to conceal tbee specific instances upon which he bases his charge, but he should state them, in order th.it others may Judge for themselves what foun-3atlon there is for his conclusions.

It is "up to" Mr. Elkin to formulate specifications of hia charges of greed and misconduct on the part of the missionaries, and present the proofs thereof. TROOPS IN PHILIPPINES. Despite attacks upon the conduct of American troops, in and out of Con-grrees, attacks which are unworthy the men who are making them in most instances, the testimony that the men behind the guns were worthy of their race and nation accumulates. It is pleasing that one of the most recent of such unsought tributes comes from a man well known in Honolulu, the letter having been extensively printed in the East: "British Consulate, "Manila, January 20, 1903.

"Sir: As, In accordance with the age limit, I am relinquishing my post as It. B. M. consul in April and am proceeding on leave of absence early next month, I wish to express to the members of the Army and Navy Club my thanks for their kindness in electing me a temporary member; and tor the cordiality and courtesy I have always received. "As an old cavalry and infantry officer, I shall always remember with great pleasure and pride my association In Manila with the most splendid and humane army of our Anglo-Saxon race on earth, and while as an Englishman I naturally glory in your hours of triumph and victory, my sympathy with your trials is as strong as it is with the British soldier, who, like your own, haa often to suffer' from the malignant and malicious falsehoods of those who ought to support and honor him.

One of the missions of President Roosevelt to the West Is said to be to find members for the Panama Canal Commission. Unless California has taken a new course cf action the anvil club will tune up for the chorus as soon as the chief executive crosses the continental divide. 1 It would appear that there are many slips between reciprocity treaty adoption and the free entry of Cuban sugar.

Commander Pond suggests that the department investigate the scheme of the Japanese company with a view of the landing there by the Pacific Commercial Cable Company. In this way American control of the etation will be obtained. ers between San Francisco and Yokohama, little deviation would be necessary for this plan to be followed. Commander Pond suggests that a light be established on the highest point of Sand island, with a range of visibility of at least twenty miles. Acting Secretary Darling has the matter under consideration.

It is pointed out, however, that the light used at Midway would serve the steamship companies and not the cable. SIERRA HAS BIG PASSENGER LIST A number of local people were disappointed yesterday in not being able to obtain passage on the Sierra for San Francisco. The Oceanic liner came into port with a big passenger list and then came the rush to obtain what little room was left. The Janet Waldorf company, which had made its farewell appearance on Monday evening, found that there was no room for the 'members and many will have to remain over in Honolulu. They had already had a previous The vessel came into port at 8 o'clock.

Four hundred tons of coal were taken aboard and 5,000 bags of sugar. The steamer departed for San Francisco shortly after 5 p. m. yesterday. Ten stowaways on the Sierra were put ashore yesterday and sent to the Police Station.

Their names are Ed. Hanlon, Chas. Blaekey, Wm. Smith, Dwyer, W. Murphy, Martin, H.

NEBRASKAN MAKES A QUICK TRIP The American-Hawaiian steamship Nebraskan came Into the harbor yesterday afternoon from San Francisco, and owing to the American still being at the Railway wharf she was moored alongside the Hackfeld wharf. The Nebraskan had a fine voyage.

The Nebraskan Is commanded by Captain J. S. Green. She sailed from San Francisco March 31, at 4:43 p. the time of passage being 6 days 22 hours and 4S minutes.

She has 630 tons of cargo for Honolulu, 155 bags "of mail, and will discharge 750 tons of general cargo at KahuluL VESSELS IN PORT. ARMY AND NAVY. TJ. S. Tug Iroquois, Rodman.

Not in public were the gifts made, but so Quietly were his beneficences bestowed that their object, If he gave publicly it was to stimulate others by his example. So sought were his counsel and aid that when he Iwas stricken last November he resigned from official positions on thirty-nine business, social and charitable organizations. Words in appreciation of one of the truest of nature's noblemen are but poor vehicles for the depth of grief that will fill the hearts of all who were his friends, and that means all who knew him. Forty days of the session passed and members of the House are still insisting upon time for the study of facts concerning the industry which has been in existence for years. If this is to be the course there with all important matters not yet put through, there will be many left in the air.

Some lookers on feife curious enough to enquire why the report was not printed two weeks ago when presented. The United States Government is still pursuing the post office site, with a 2eai which indicates that the build ing which Honolulu will get, in time. will be worthy of the city. The telephone situation may be said to have reached the acute stage how ever goes the report of the expert committee and the action of the Chamber of Commerce thereupon.
