His idea wasto have a meeting of the associationwith the present pupils of the HighSchool and have committees appoint- -

    In government and plantation circles the question has come up for con

    of his needs for February, prefacingsideration as to whether the govern-ment or the Planters' Associationshould pay the expenses of furtherEuropean immigrants to these islands.One of the official class said to an Ad-vertiser reporter yesterday:

    GILETTE BLADES.

    TAFT AND THE NOMINATION.The claim that Secretary Taft will be nominated for President on the

    first ballot, rests upon a table of figures, supplied from Washington, in which

    the Southern States are credited with a solid Taft delegation of 213 vote

    The Territories, including Hawaii, are given fourteen votes, all for Taft; like-

    wise enough northern and western states are called in to make a total of 491.

    New England states are expected to yield, in scattering delegates, forty more,making the necessary Taft majority and some over.

    A great many Republicans look upon the use that is made of the skeletonRepublican organ nation in the South with a sense of outrage. Not a single

    Southern State ovtainly none of the old Confederate ones will east a Eepub-liea- nballot in the Electoral College; nevertheless they have as much to say

    in the nominating convention as if tbey were Republican commonwealths. Theirvote in the convention simply represents a small class of Federal officeholderswho take orders from Washington and who "deliver the goods" as directed."Vothing in the old English rotten borough system was worse; from any stand-point of fairplay, the marshalling of these skeleton organizations to offset thepreferences of such states as New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio,Illinois. Wisconsin and so on is a detestable imitation of the worst kind of

    thinking more about currency reformthan about anything else, unless it bepolitics. If, it were not for the factthat Senator Nelson W. Aldrich ofRhode Island has introduced a bill togive the country more currency intimes of stress and strain, there wouldnot be . very much for Congress ineither Senate or House to deliberateabout. It would be a sure enough ng

    The Territories are in a somewhat similar position. They can not votefor President but they may help name the nominee. Hawaii is expected tostand solid at Chicago for Taft, though the party sentiment here is againstJiim. It will be interesting, therefore, to watch developments and see whatipnuences may te brought to bear against the plan, which seems now to havelocal party assent, to send uninstructed delegates.

Still adheringto the descriptive term from the Bow-er)', it can also be said with entiretruthfulness that there is "rag chew-ing" all over the country with refer-ence to that bill. The editors in manycities have been making flings at themeasure. The bankers in many cities,especially outside of New York, havebeen doing likewise. Many other peo-ple, who think they know somethingabout finance and currency, have beenthrowing bricks Senator Aldrich'sway, and apparently the end is not.yet.

    The bill was brought out, after muchlabor, some days ago. This week, be-ginning with Tuesday, a coterie ofvery influential - Senators will go intoa little room about ten by sixteenwith that much-criticiz- ed measure tosee what they can do to it. The roomis that of the Senate Committee on

    THE PLACE TO GET SETTLERS.There are all sorts of proposals to seek settlers in New York and Chicago,

    tint it is hard to get attention fixed upon the plan to procure them on thecoast where the best' settlers we have, the Wahiawa people, were recruited.Distance lends enchantment to the view, and a Chicago or New York location,under the eye of a past grand master of labor unionism, who is eager to havethe thing tried, seems to take on a mueh more iridescent look than it wouldafford after the experiment had gone further. When too late we might findmetropolitan homesteaders, including their walking delegates, not all theywere cracked up to be as a substantial middle class, tilling the soil.

    If our people consult ecqnomy and want practical farmers they should seekthem where they found the Wahiawa people. California, let it be understood,does not suit all the Eastern farmers who go there to settle; indeed, a con

    THE EUCALYPTUS.The widespread awakening to the imminence of forest depletion has set

    many agencies at work to prevent or. remedy it. One of the visible effects isa more thorough investigation by experiment and otherwise, of the qualitiesof many trees heretofore looked on as of little economic value. The Santa FeRailway, which has gone into the business of tree planting on a large scale inSouthern California and elsewhere, is planting thousands of eucalyptus treeson its California lands. These trees have been found to grow there excellently,and also to be of great value for many railway purposes. In connection withthe experiments resulting in these conelusions, it has been found that thewood of some varieties of eucalyptus is excellent for hardwood furniture, makesa splendid substitute for maple flooring, and for the wood work on wagonsand many kinds of agricultural implements. Other varieties furnish excellenttelegraph posts, bridge timbers, piles for wharves, railroad ties, and fence posts.

    Some varieties of the eucalyptus grow well here. As it is a tree thatreadily adapts itself to climate, perhaps most varieties will. It has recommendeditself in these islands because of its usefulness as a wind-brea- k. In the manyplaces in the islands where a wind-brea- k is necessary to protect certain kinds offruit trees and for other purposes, the eucalyptus has been found to grow well,withstanding the winds which destroy other tree growths. May it not provethat it has a higher use, and that there are areas, considerable in the aggregate,in the islands which can not only be redeemed from windswept barrens, butmay be made economically productive by planting the eucalyptus!

What he diddo, however, was to "draw the written abdication" at the request of theQueen's agents. "I made," he adds, "several drafts to meet suggestionsfrom the Queen communicated to me through Mr. Neumann." In other words,it was a case of tweedledum and not of tweedledee.

    for torturing aged millionaire JamesCampbell for his money in 1S96, hasbeen removed from the rogues galleryof the police department. In addition,all. of the record of Winthrop, writtenupon the books in ink, has been care-fully expunged with acids.

    So far as .the local records are con-cerned there is no evidence that Win-throp was ever sentenced to Folsom.

    Winthrop at the time of his arrestwas sexton of Laurel Hill cemetery.He boasted many influential friends.'He was arrested by the late Chief ofPolice Isaiah Lees, who suspected thatWinthrop knew something of the dlsappearance of James Campbell, awealthy Hawaiian, who had beenspirited away. Campbell was "sub-sequently found almost dead from tor-tures inflicted by Winthrop, who hadtried to force him to sign checks fornearly $25,000.

    Winthrop was found guilty and sen-tenced by Judge Wallace to life im-prisonment. Recently, he has beenactive in endeavors to secure a pardon,and to commence life again with hisprison history blotted from the record.

    This erasure of the records and re-moval of the picture of Winthrop Is aremarkably bold attempt to efface fromSan Francisco files the record of thisman," said Detective Gibson. "Thepicture was removed since the fire,but by whom and just at what timewe are not able to state. '

    N "Friends of Winthrop, I understand,are endeavoring to secure his pardon.It is possible that some of these havebeen instrumental in this offense inorder that Winthrop might leaveprison without leaving behind hisphotograph and record in the rogues'gallery here i San Francisco, his bidhome.

    HIS LIFE FOR HIS HAT.A few days ago a factory laborer

    named Gentaro Nonaka took train atTaks&ori station bound for Kobe. Hewas very much the worse for liquorand kept thrusting his head out of thewindow of the car to cool his hotbrows when a gust of wind blew hishat off. The man, far gone in a stateof mental indistinctness as he was didnot like to go bare-heade- d. Quick asthought he opened the carriage doorand jumped off the moving train afterhis hat, when an up-tra- in came alongat full speed and hurled him high intothe air. Gentaro was at once picked upand carried to the hospital in an un-conscious state. His life is despairedof.

    CAPTAIN KOEPENIK OF ASAKUSA

    On New Year's day four recruitswere sauntering in Asakusa Park whenthey were suddenly confronted by" agendarme who gave his name as Kazuo Kaneo and who demanded thatthey should at once be subject tosearch and examination. The frighten-ed recruits obeyed as commanded. Thewould-b- e gendarme took them to aneighboring boarding house and thor-oughly examined them. The pocketledgers and purses containing nearlyten yen of the four soldiers were con-fiscated. The man then ordered themto wait until he reported to the gend-arme- ry

    station, and went out. .Slowlythe recruits realized they had bein vic-timized.

    A HAUNTED MANSION.

    The house at Sakumacho, Shiba,which was occupied by the late Mr.Harada, a physician murdered by hisservant on the 31st ult. has now con-tracted the reputation among theneighbors of being haunted. This housein the opinion of the neighbors Is anextremely ill fated one. They remem-ber that it was here , that a certainadopted daughter was persecuted todeath only two or three years ago.Again last year when fire occurred atthis place, three persons were burnt todeath. Thirdly came the most shock-ing murder of Dr. Harada, over whichthe Tokio press wrote columns abouta week ago. The owner of the houseis one Tnouye, who being a bit of amiser found some excuse in the storiescirculated about the house for delay-ing the return of the surety . moneyamounting to 400 yen which was de-posited by the late physician. Thefather of Dr. Harada? who came upto town to put things in order has atlast succeeded In obtaining the suretymoney after paying one month's extrarent.

    A FORTUNATE OLD GEISHA.Kayei Idzumi was the proprietor of

    a large and prosperous restaurant inSakae, Osaka. By dint of industry andfrugality he amassed over 70,000 yen.On New Year's day he celebrated hiseighty-eight- h year. While participat-ing with all his employes in feastingsomething suddenly stuck in his throatand he began to cough violently. Be-fore another hour elapsed, he was adead man. He had no near relationsand who can be the successor to' hisfortune and his prosperous business?It was his implicit will that all hisfortune, his house and everything be-longing to him should be given over toan elderly woman named Kofuku. Sheis sixty-on- e years old and still earningher own livelihood as a geisha. She

    ils exceedingly popular with her guests;what she wants in beauty and youthshe makes up by her experiencedadroitness as a veteran geish. Shewill doubtless be more popular infuture now that she has come to for-tune.

    She served the deceased since onlyfourteen years old and thus gained theconfidence and affecon of this eccen-tric old man so far as to be chosen ashis sole heir.

    A MYSTERIOUS SHIP.

    On the 2Sth ult. a mysterious vesselof about 300 tons was seen casting an-

    chor outside Osaka harbor works. TheInterior of the vessel, according to acorrespondent of the Tokyo Asahi, wastastefully fitted out, and the dining-roo- m

    was beautifully decorated withcostly furniture. The sound of thesamisen and foreign music Issuing

    from the ship at night arrested theattention of the crews of other boatspassing by. Early on the morning ofthe 30th a man of bronzed countenancelanded at Osaka and went about inthe streets making a great amount ofpurchases, being evidently well sup-

    plied with money. Afterwards he re-paired to Matsushima, where he fpentmoney freely before he returned tohis vessel late at night. This manis said to have remarked to an en-quirer as follows: "Though I am aJapanese, the captain of the ship is aEurasian, born of Japanese and Rus-sian parentage, his name being TJkar-y- al

    and his age 37. The ship's crewis composed of Japanese, Chinese andNorwegians, who aU regard the vastocean as their domicile, and particu-larly hold dear the small Islands ofthe Southern and Northern Seas. Thereare one Russian and two Japanesewomen on board the vessel, who servethe captain as his handmaids. Thework ol the crew consists in catch-ing sea otters. We caught a largequantity of them in Russian seas lastyear, but the Russian authorities be-ing extremely vigilant we now Intendto shift our aim toward the southernocean, where we can catch almost anynumber of fowls , which can be soldIn the Hongkong market at veryprofitable prices. The greatest pleas-ure of the crew is to visi
