The Population, Wealth arrt- - Resources of Hilo and the

resentative of the United States Treasurer Why WeNeed a Big Federal Builcjing.

Hon. W. H. Eustis, Special Com- - are compelled to transact their bust-mtssion- er

City. j't SITU FOR FEDERAL BUILDING.

Sir: The citizens of Hilo are) The Government owns here agratified and much pleased to greet magnlficent sjtC( an entire block(a Commissioner of our Government ;bounded by Bridge( Walanuenueon such a mission as you represent, and Pitman 9lree,,. otie nf theand take pleasure in submitting tog the princjpal street , theyou the following facts for your own) and the Waijuku river Thisearnest consideration:

POPULATION.

In 1896 the population served bythe Post Office at Hilo was esti-

mated at 6876; in 1900, as per Cen-

sus report, 13,000; at the presenttime it is estimated 14,000. In 1920(with the early completion of a ca- -

nal across the Isthmus, the protec-)o- f

tion of our harbor by a properbreak-wate- r, and the erection ofsuitable wharves) we think a con- -

.scrvuuvc esiiuiuic ui uui (jumiauuuwill be so.ooo. ,'

FEDERAL BUILDINGS.

There are none in this town or.on this Island, and an urgent neces-- 1

sity exists for a large one for manyit

reasons. We will mention .a tewthe

principal town and port of the Is- -

land of Hawaii, the largest Islandof the Territory, it having an areaof 4,210 square miles and contain-

ing about 2,500,000 acres. It is

here the Assessor, Collector andSheriff of the Island have theirheadquarters.

We have an electric light, power,cold storage and ice plant not ex-

celled on the Mainland with a capi-

tal stock of $300,000. Excellenttelephone communication; not onlyin our community, but completelyencircling the Island. A completesystem of water works, good bank-

ing facilities, large commercialhouses, in fact everything to indi-

cate a vigorous, progressive andstable community.

The money order business at oitpost office in 1901 was 8,570 ordersissued, amounting to $288,116.13;2,420 orders paid, amounting to$45,ii4.65i For the first elevenmonths of 1902, 9,862 orders issued,amounting to $292,511.15; 2,648orders paid, amounting to $48,-523.4- 0,

showing an increase for thepast eleven months over the pre-

vious year of 1,520 orders handled,amounting to $7,804.07.

The present wooden shack' usedfor our post office is most inadequate and unsafe. Regular mailsbetween here and Honolulu arehandled only once a week. OurPostmaster considers the place sounsafe that the night preceedingthe outgoing regular mail, when hehas the greatest amount of moneyon band, feels it necessary to keepa man on the premises all night.

The town is growiug in popula-tion and importance and will, un-

questionably, maintain its presentleading position.

Our collector of the port has noplace to transact his business exceptat his private office. Our FederalJudge is allowed by the courtesy ofthe Circuit Judge to hold his courtiu the Circuit Court Room, therebeing no other place available. TheInternal Revenue Officers transacttheir business in their bed-roo-

at the hotels. The Surveyor of theport has his office in a small shedroom. The United States Commis- -

location is immediately oppositethe block on which are situated all.our Territorial offices, and al-

together is a most admirable site forall time to come.

RAILROADS.

We have at present one roadwlth headquarters here, conslstine

jected and a charter has beeQ grao

SHIPPING.

In 1897 we entered 37 vesselshaving an aggregate tonnage of24,528; in 1901 we entered 60 vessels having an aggregate tonnageof 56,057, an increase of annualtonnage entering our port in 4 yearsof 31,529. For the first elevenmouths of 1902 we have entered 60vessels having an aggregate ton-

nage of 70,433, an increase for thepast eleven months over the previ-ous year 14,376.

Since annexation, 011 June 14,

1900, until August of the presentyear no, record has been kept hereof imports, so that during that timewe cannot give you the value ofthe cargoes shipped into this port,but for the last four months, iuwhich a record has been kept, thevalue of cargoes shipped into thisport amounted to $720,692.43.

Regarding exports, we have hadfor the first eleven months of thisyear 61 vessels leave the port containing an aggregate tonnage of71,194 tons. The value of cargoescarried away during the past elevenmonths of this year amounted to$4,300,790.73. This amount issegregated as follows: coffee,

$27,482.30; hides and skins, $25,- -

269.00; general merchandise, $37,-472.4- 5;

sugar $4,210,645.98.VVheu the projected railroad from

the northward is built and iu opera-

tion there will be a large tucreasein the tonnage, as the said roadwould carry freight both wayswhich is now shipped in other andvarious ways.

The figures above do not includeany shipment of foreign goods thatwere entered in Honolulu and ship-

ped here locally, nor. do they in- -

SUGAR rROOUCTION.

For the year ending September1897 this Island produced 126,736tons; in 1901, 134,618 tons, iu 1902131,295 tons. Total produced bythe group in 1897, 251,126 tons;in 1901, 360,038 tons and in 1902,365,611 tons. The shortage forthis Island for this year is ex-

plained by the Hamakua District,or northern end of this Island, suf-

fering from a drought which cuttheir crop short 35,000 tons underthe previous year.

The tonnage in the vicinity ofHilo and shipped from the sameport in 1902 was increased by over20,000 tons over the previous year'sproduction.

'docks.Our magnificent bay being with-

out docking facilities, all heavydraft vessels entering this port arerequired to anchor and handle everyton of freight, either loaded or dis-

charged, by means of "lighters" or"scows" between ship and shore.Our lumber is thrown into thewater and floated ashore.

The Government being unableto erect docks some of our long-sufferi-

and enterprising citizenshavs banded themselves togetherin a joint stock company, capital-

ized at $100,000, and have con-

tracted for the erection of a doublepier wharf 100 feet wide by 800feet long. They have all the ma-

terial on the ground for the erectionof this wharf and it is to be com-

pleted by the first day of April next.BRKAK-WATR-

It'seetns hardly necessary tt callyour attention to our need for abreak-wate- r, it is so apparent. Wehave a large aud most' excellentharbor, as you can readily see, withthe exception that it needs protec-tion. For the past ten days wehave had three vessels in our harbor loaded with lumber from tlieNorthwest coast of the UnitedStates unable to discharge a foot oflumber on account of the swell.We are frequently handicapped inthis way and lor long periods.

LIGHT HOUSES.

There is urgent necessity, for thesafety of navigation, to establishlight houses at various points onthis Island with revolving lights,having a range of fron ten to twentymiles. At present there is not sucha light on the Island coast, in factwe only have six lights on ourcoast, they are all "fixed," twosmall colored and four white, allcheap affairs, all of short range. Inaddition to the points which arehalfway protected by present lights,on account of the rapidly increas-ing importance of and shipping fromthis point, we need others, particu-larly one at a point called Leleiwi.

COINAGE.

Hawaiian silver should be ed

into United States coiu, toestablish the absolute parity ofgold and silver money in Hawaii.It is discriminated against at thebanks now for two reasons, viz:

It is actually worth only its bullionvalue. In obedieuce to "Gresham'sLaw," gold constantly flows fromthe Islands; the cost of

enhances its value in relationto the silver coin which remains athome. It is only the hope and faithof the people that the United Stateswill recoiu Hawaiian silver intostandard United States money thatprevents its falling to a level ofvalue so low that business herewould be obstructed, as it is iu thePhilippines by a circulation of dol-

lars of vastly different values.Such Hawaiian silver as may be

recoined or deposited in the UnitedStates Treasury we think should bereplaced, not by United States sil-

ver coiu, but by silver certificates.I If the Treasury regulations permit,

I it should be replaced by the variouskinds of United States currency,including silver certificates, goldcertificates aud treasury notes.These various kinds of money ofabsolute guaranteed equality withgold, would establish absolute parityin Hawaii's circulating medium.The normal supply of gold for theneeds of Hawaii would find itselfand would not vary much from yearto year. Slight shipments of goldcoin between the Islands and Main-

land would be necessary. Thepaper currency would be shipped atless cost resulting iu a saving tothe commerce of Hawaii both in exchange and express charges.

The. presence of various kinds ofUnited States paper money wouldnot confuse; it would impress thepeople with the stability of valuesunder United States laws.

HILO'S POSITION.

After being here we are confident you will not make the mistakeof comparing our requirementswith localities oh the Mainland ofsimilar size. We do more businessthan any town there many timesour population, being the distribut-ing point for many plantations,whose employees alone equal innumber a good sized village.

With . the above data we haveendeavored to show you how busi-

ness is increasing here, and feel

that in the future we may reason-

able expect it to continue, at least,iu as great a ratio.

In making the appropriation fora federal building we trust that youwill not consider such an appropria-

tion as would ordinarily be madefor a community of our sizeon theMainland sufficient. ""

Inasmuch as Legislation, pro-

posed to be enacted at our comingsession, will bring about countyforms of administration, in whichcase Hilo is destined to be the countyseat.wethinkthesumof one hundredand fifty thousand ($150,000) dollars at least, is needed to erect sucha building as would meet our re-

quirements.It should be large enough to ac-

commodate, not only the Post office

and Custom House, but the U. S.Appraiser's office, Surveyor of thePort, U. S. Marine Hospital andQuarantine Service, ImmigrationBureau, Revenue Cutter and SecretService, U. S. Army and Navy Re-

cruiting office, U. S. Iuternal Reve-

nue office, quarters for U. S.Court, U--, S. Marshall, U. S. Attorney, U. S. Commissioner and U.S. Larid office.

We are particularly pleased tohave you come here to investigate.Heretofore those sent ordinarilystopped in Honolulu and reportedon conditions here from hearsay,photographs' aud newspaper arti-

cles. So much of this has been donein the past that people on the Main-

land have come to consider Hono-

lulu as the Hawaiian Islands, tothe detriment of the rest of thegroup.

Should you desire further infor-

mation we will be pleased to furnishyou with the same.

All of which we respectfully sub-

mit for your consideration.

Atltorton Recovered.Honolulu, Dec. 13. J. B. Ather-to- u

is much improved in health,but his physician has advised thathe refrain from all work for at leasta year. For that reason Mr. Ath-erto- n

will resign from all the offices

he holds in various private andpublic institutions, corporations,etc. Including the benevolent andreligious enterprises with whichMr. Athertou is connected there is

a total of thirty-nin- e of which he is

, 1'KESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

iFavors 1'nymcnt of Hnnnllnn I'lre

Claims.

I commend to the favorable con-

sideration of the Congress the Ha-

waiian Fire Claims, which were the$ubject of careful investigation dur-

ing the last session. r

Washington, Dec. 2. PresidentRoosevelt sent his message to Con-

gress today. His first topic dealswith the necessity of legislation forthe control of Trusts. He says:

I No more important subject can'come before the Congress than, this'of the regulation of interstate busi- -

ness. This couiltry cannot afffirdto sit supine on the plea that underour peculiar system of governmentwe are helpless in the presencer'ofthe new conditions, and unable to

'grapple with them or to cut Butwhatever of evil has arisen in con-

nection with them. The po.ver'ofthe Congress to regulate interstate

.commerce is an absolute and "un- -'

qualified' grant, and without limitations other than those prescribedby the Constitution.

The Congress has constitutionalauthority to make all laws neces-

sary and proper for executing thispower, and I am satisfied that thispower hus not been exhausted byany legislation now on the statutebooks. It is evident, therefore,that evils restrictive of commercialfreedom, and entailing res: rain tupon national commerce fall withinthe regulative power of the Con-

gress, and that a wise and reason-able law would be a necessary andproper exercise of Congressionalauthority, to the end that suchevils should be eradicated.

In dealing with the tariff themessage says:

One proposition advocated hasbeen the reduction of the tariff as ameans of reaching the evils of thetrusts which fall ' within the cate-

gory I have described. Not merelywould this be wholly ineffective,but the diversion of our efforts insuch a direction would mean theabandonment of all intelligent at- -'

tempt to d.o away with these evils.Many of the largest corporations,many of those which Siuld cer-

tainly be included in any properscheme of regulation, would not beaffected in the slightest degree by achange in the tariff, save as suchchange interferes with the generalprosperity of the country. Theonly relation of the tariff to bigcorporations as a whole is that thetariff makes manufactures profitable, and the tariff remedy proposedwould be in effect simply to makemanufactures unprofitable. To re-

move the tariff as a punitive meas-

ure directed against trusts wouldinevitably result in ruin to theweaker competitors who are strug-gling against them. Our aimshould be not by unwise tariffchanges to give foreign productsthe advantage over domestic products, but by proper regulation togive domestic competition a fairchance; and this end cannot bereached by any tariff changes whichwould affect unfavorably all domestic competitors, good and bad alike.The question of regulation of thetrusts stands apart from the question of tariff revision.

Stability of economic policy mustalways be the prime economic needof this country. This stabilityshould not be fossilizatiou. Thecountry has acquiesced in the wis-

dom of the protective tariff princi-ple. It is exceedingly undesirablethat this system should be des-

troyed, or that there should beviolent and radical changes therein.Our past experience shows thatgreat prosperity in this country hasalways come under a protectivetariff, and that the country cannotprosper under fitful tariff changesat short intervals.

CUDAN RKCirROCITV.

I hope soon to submit to theSenate a reciprocity treaty withCuba. On May 20th last theUnited States kept its promise tothe island by formally vacatingCubati soil and turning Cuba overto those whom her own people hadchosen as the first officials of thenew republic.

Cuba lies at our doors, and what-ever affects her for good or for illaffects us also. So much have ourpeople felt this that in the Piatt

amendment we definitely took theground that Cuba must hereafterhave closer political relations withus than with any other power.Thus in a sense Cuba has becomea part of our international politicalsystem. This makes it necessarythat in return she should be givensome of the benefits of becomingpart of our economic system. It is,from our own standpoint, a shortsighted and mischievous policy tofail to recognize this need.

The President favors financiallegislation, discusses the relation ofcapital and labor dwelling upon therights cf the individual, comes outstrong for the Panama canal route,gives a history of Pacific cable ne-

gotiations, urges naval increase,commends a commission to studythe public land questions, asks forlegislation for Alaska.

Hcucy Assumes Conininml.

Washington, Dec. i. AdmiralDewey resumed active sea duty to-

day for the first time since his re-

turn to the United States from hisever memorable cruise in Philip-

pine waters. His four-starre- d pennant was hoisted on the President'syacht Mayflower at the WashingtonNavy Yard about 9 o'clock and,accompanied by the members ofhis staff, the Admiral sailed awayto assume direct command of thelarge fleet engaged in the man-

euvers in the Carribean sea. Hisstaff includes Rear Admiral Taylor,chief of the Bureau of Navigation,,chief of staff; Captains Swift andPillsbury, assistant chiefs of staff;Commander Sargent, aid.

The departure of the part wasdevoid of display and the custom-ary salute to the Admiral wasomitted at his request. The May-

flower will set her course direct forCulebrafitfslaiid, off Porto Rico, andis due there next Sunday.

Collect Claims of tlcrmnns.

Caracas (Venezuela), Dec. 2.The German cruisers Vineta andFalke have arrived at La Guayrafrom Curacao.

Berlin Dec 2. The publishedstatement that Germany's claimsagainst Veiiezuala amount to $15.-000,0- 00

is, the correspondent of theAssociated Press is officially in-

formed, incorrect. While the Ger-

man Government is not yet readyto publish the details of its demands,persons who have seen the paperssay the total is about $2,000,000.President Castro represents to Ger-

many that Venezuela has littlecredit abroad; that the country isjust emerging from a civil war dur-

ing which planting and industrywere partially ruined, and that,therefore, no matter how muchVenezuela may desire to satisfy im-

mediately the claims against her, itis obviously impossible. Hence, anagreement on the subj'ect must pro-

vide for deferfed payments. Theseizure of the custom-house- s,

thereby depriving the Governmentof an important means to adminis-ter the country, would add to theinternal distress and disorder.

While President Castro's pro-

posals are not disclosed, there isreason to believe that they include'the emission of bonds at a moder-ately high rate of interest with somesort of a guarantee 'that if the inter-est or the installments of the prin-

cipal are defaulted certain Vene-zuelan custom-house- s may be takenover by Germany.

Nothing is known here of theplans of Isaac K. Seligman of NewYork for floating a Venezuelanloan. He has not approached thisGovernment in the ma'ter.

There is no disposition here toproceed with harah measures towardVenezuela if milder ones will sufficeto exact satisfaction, but the Ger-

man Government is fully committedto the intention to obtain amplesatisfaction. The claimants areconstantly urging the Governmentto press the collection of theamounts due them, not only be-

cause of the sums involved, but, itis represented, iu view of the factthat the long delay has renderedthe position of Germans in Vene-

zuela more and more vexatious.Therefore, it is claimed, the Gov-

ernment must strike, and strikehard, in order to properly assertthe rights of Germans.

OFFICIAL rOKEOAST.

Program or National Senate ut Com

lug Session.

Washington, Dec. 1. No tarifflegislation, no extra session, cau-

tious legislation on trusts, and thepassage of a Cuban reciprocity billor treaty, is the program of theSenate leaders, according to Sena-

tor Perkins, who is a member of thesteering committee and who hasconsulted many colleagues on theSenatorial program.

"If a suitable bill can be framedfor the regulation of the trust,"said Perkins tonight, "I am con-

vinced that u majority in the Sen-

ate will favor it. But there isstrong opposition to tariff legisla-tion, either now or at an extra ses-

sion. Unless there is greater de-

mand than is now apparent, thewhole tariff question will go overuntil next December, at the earliest.

I"Regarding Cuban reciprocity, I

must say that the prospects favorI the passage of a bill granting a 20per cent reduction on Cuban pro-- 1

ducts or a ratification of the treatycarrying out the same ends. WhileSenator Elkins and one or two

I others declare they are insurgentsas ever, I fail to find the strong

'front that was presented last session, and with the pressure of theAdministration so long exerted itis plain to me that something mustgive way. If too much is askedthe opposition may develop, but ifthe President is content with a 20per cent reduction he probably willget it." ....

GROWTH OF HILO.

The growth of wealth in Hiloand surrounding Territory duringthe past five years has been byleaps and bounds. The averageyearly increase in assessed valua-tion of real estate and personalproperty, speaks for itself. TheHilo-Koha- la Railroad and thebreakwater are on the way. WhenJhese two great improvements ma-

terialize, the, business activity ofHilo will be revolutionized. Thepeople of Hilo by pulling togetherand pulling hard can bring thesethings to pass. It is a programin which no Hilo man can affordto lay down.

Any Hilo man who knows aCongressman can help the FederalBuilding proposition along by writ-

ing him on the subject. Send theletters along and let them urgeyour Congressional or Senatorialfriends to keep an eye out for Hilo.The article on the first page of thisweek's Tribunk, if sent along withsuch letters, will convey- - volumesof information. Forward letters bythe first mail and send remindersthroughout the session, until Hilosecures her due.

Thk Hilo people want the Terri-torial band New Years day. Twovisits during the biennial period arejustly due the second city of theIslands. The people in the outerDistricts will be in Hilo on NewYears day and to send the musi-

cians over at any other time will bea disappointment to country andtown alike.

W. H. Eustis, Commissioner toinquire into a site for the FederalBuilding for Hilo, made manyfriends while in Hilo. His energy,insight and business like methods,stamped him as a man who doesthings. The people of Hilo wel-

come such men, whatever their mis-

sion in the Islands may be.

Thk reports by the latest mailsfrom the Coast indicate that 4 centsugar is in sight. Leading sugarmen in the States predict a steadymarket next season at a higherfigure.

Tills derm Is In Hilo.Washingeon, Dec. 5. In a paper

read before the Sanitary Conferenceof the American Republics, Dr.Stiles, zoologist of the AgriculturalDepartment announces that he hasdiscovered the germ of laziness.

The announcement has given riseto much discussion among scientificnien. Dr. Stiles says that his de-

ductions were drawn from a studyof a large number of cases, extend-ing over a considerable period oftime. He has by these methodsbeen able to determine what it isthat causes laziness in mild or ag-gravated form to take possession ofthe soul of men and cause them toshun all forms of mental or physi-cal exertion.

L. E. Johnson, chief of the Boardof Governors of the EmergencyHospital says of Dr. Stiless' an-

nouncement, "There is, in mymind, no doubt as to the accuracyof his deductions."

Hawaii's Appropriations.Washington, Dec. 3. The Sec-

retary of the Treasurer transmittedto Congress today estimates of theappropriations desired by Hawaiifor the fiscal year 1904. They in-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

rltUburg Dispatch.

The Supreme Court of Indianajhas decided that the process of"sweating'' prisoners is illegal, and

ihas awarded Arthur Steele, thej plaintiff in a suit against the Sheriffof Howard country, $4o damages

; for false imprisonment. Steel wassuspected of larceny and was placedin the "sweatbox," although not

j under arrest. The court held thatan officer cannot legally hold a per-- I

son in custody for a longer periodthan is reasonably necessary to ob-- I

tain a proper warrant. This is exactly the same decision recentlyrendered in the Allegheny countycourts. Passing to the '.'sweating"ordeal the Indiana court, all thejudges concurring, declared thatany mistreatment of a person de-

tained is sufficient cause for personaldamages, and that the $400 awardedwas moderate in view of the facts.A few more such judgements wouldhave a salutary effect in abatingthis practice, which, of late years,has become motorious.

Senators Against Chinese.Washington, Dec. 3. The re-

port that the of theSenate Committee on Pacific Is-- 1

lands and Porto Rico would recom-

mend the admission of Chineselaborers into Hawaii appears tohave been erroneous, according toone of the Senators composing thecommittee that visited Hawaii lastfall. He said that the committee

iwas opposed to the admission ofChinese into the islands even in

j restricted numbers and for shortI periods.

"The people of Hawaii, and es-

pecially the sugar planters, wereanxious to get into the AmericanUnion," he said. "They came in

j with their eyes open, with the Chirnese exclusion act on the statutebooks. Now let them take their'medicine like every other part ofthe United btates. If they wantcheap labor they must find it amongthe people already in. We don'

.propose to admit cheap Asiaticlabor into one part of the country1

ito compete withI other parts."

THOUGHTS UPON

CHRISTMAS DAY.

The birth of Christ, that Divineinhabitant of two worlds, comingfrom the realms of eternity to therealms of time, returning whencehe came, triumphing over deathand robbing the grave of its victory,furnishes the greatest consolationto the doubtful, trembling or af-

frighted soul when it shrinks backupon itself and "startles at destruc-tion."

Christ in his Divinity came andwent, He passed from one world tothe other; both ways the route Hethen proclaimed remains to us today, linking time and eternity to-

gether and affording to the humansoul its only assurance of whateternity holds in store for us.

In view of that promise, therefore,we listen without wonder or doubtto His own grand conclusions inafter life of the whole matter, toHis own lofty anthem and promiseof life eternal.

"I am the Resurrection and theLife, he that believeth in Me, al-

though he were dead, yet shall helive, and whomsoever liveth and be-

lieveth in Me shall never die."This birthday which brought

joy and love and peace to mankind,this birthday that came amid thestrains of solace and mercy, whichpulled back the black curtains ofuncertainty that the children ofmen might look upon the brightmorning of eternal life, that joyousbirthday will soon be wjth us oncemore; and may the sublime andsimple birth and life of that lowlyNazarene ever inspire us to purerlives and nobler purposes and maytf bright and joyous Christmas bethe lot of everyone whose eyes fallupon these lines is the wish of

After conferring with the business menof Hilo individually, Mr. Eustls foundlittle or no opposition to his recommend-ing the site mentioned in last week's Tri-bune. The tract lies between Waianue-1111- c

The site isnot only commanding and central, but itis large enough to permit ornamentationby drive ways, walks, lawns and tropicalgradens. The site already belongs to thegovernment....tnere are leases runningiroinv two to twelve years. Mr, Eustiswas successful in securing reasonableterms from the lessees, for the termina-tion of their holdings, providing theUnited States wants to proceed with theimprovements.

LOADING CANE CARS.

Successful Mnchtno In Use on Wnlnken Plnntntlon.

The report of the committee onmachinery, at the recent Planters'meeting at Honolulu was publishedin the Planters Monthly, fromwhich the following extract is taken:

In the matter of loading cars inthe field by machinery, several testshave been made on Maui, but thehoisting machinery used there,was found to be too cumbersomeand heavy, for easy transportationthroughout the fields on portabletrack, and was therefore given up.The gross weight of this apparatuswas about 20,000 pounds, howeverI am indebted to Mr. C. C. Ken-

nedy of the Waiakea Mill Co. forthe following information and fig-

ures in connection with the loadingof cane in the field by machanicalmeans. Tfi&uoisting arrangementcomplete weighs but 4,000 pounds,is set upon an ordinary flat car, canwork in any direction, and by itslow weight is thereby made con-

venient in handling about the fieldson portable tracks. The enginein connection with this crane, isworked by gasoline, thereby insur-ing lightness, saving in transporta-tion of coal and water, and withlittle risk of fire. Actual results atWaiakea with the use of this load-

ing apparatus show, that four mencan take trotn sleds and load uponcars 200 tons of cane in eight hours,at a cost of $4.00 for labor, and from75c. to $1.00 for the gasoline con-

sumed doing this amount of work)hence we have, 200 tons of cane load-

ed for say $5 or 24c. per ton. Atthis plantation sleds are used forgetting cane to within reach of thehoist. A sling is placed on thesled, the cane loaded upon it. Whenthe sled is run alongside the load-

ing machiue, it is a simple matterto hook it to the sling, raise it tothe desired position, above the car,pull a small cord releasing the canefrom the sling, and out drops the1,500 pounds of cane. This methodworks without a hitch. For com-

parative purposes to this cost mustbe added the cost of loading andhauling the sleds to the hoistingapparatus, which according to Mr.Kennedy is y2 cents per ton: there-fore we now have 2j4 cts. plus 12

cts.i4j4 cts. the total cost per tonof packing and loading. It wouldbe well for those interested to visitWaiakea and see this labor savingdevice at work.

TAIUt't' COMMISSION.

Allison of lown Shows Why ItWould Ho Useless

Washington. Senator Allison ofIowa, who is chairman of the Sen-

ate Appropriations Committee andthe second member of the FinanceCommittee, opposes the propositionfor a tariff commission. Instead, hefavors the appointment of a jointcommittee by the two houses ofCongress to sit during the recess ofCongress next summer and recom-

mend any changes in the tariff thattheir investigations-ma- justify.

Senator Allison says he can secno reason for the creation of nonpartisan tariff comraisson. Thepresent tariff was formulated byRepublican Congress and is opposedby the Democrats. As Congress isRepublican in both branches, thatparty, he thinks, should make anychanges in the tariff which may befound necessary, and not put it inthe bands of non-partis- body.The mere fact of referring the ques-

tion to non-partis- board wouldnot take the tariff out of politics,for the attitude of either party to-

ward it would not thereby bechanged.

Senator Allison referred to thefailure of the former, tariff commis

sion whose recommendations werenot heeded by Congress, and saidhe favored rather the appointmentof a statutory committee composedof three members of the SenateFinance Committee and three from

the House Ways and Means Com-

mittee, the members to be namedby the resolution, creating the jointcommittee. This body to sit allsummer, if it were necessary, tohear all the suggestions that wouldbe offered, and their reports wouldbt presented to the two houseswhen Congress assembled in Decem-

ber, 1903.No tariff legislation, in his opinion

will be enacted at the coming session, the time being too short forintelligent work on such a complexsubject. No change would be madeeven in the tariff on anthracite coal,for the reason that it would lead toother propositions for revision atidwould open the tariff question toendless debate, which would shutout the appropriation bills.

Strike Commission Confronted by

Mountains of Work.

Scranton, Pa., Dec. 3. Ai'ter anadjournment of ten days, duringwhich time the representatives of for

the railroads and miners were keptbusy at work preparing evidencefor submission to the AnthraciteCoal Strike Commission, the hear-

ings of the miners' side of the con-

troversyin

was resumed in the StateSuperior courtroom at 10 o'clock by

this morning. Tile usual largecrowd was in attendance and in ad-

dition there were several new faces

among the array of attorneys. Themost prominent among these wasSamuel Dickson of Philadelphia,representing the Lehigh Coal and a

Navigation Company, a large inde-

pendent company, whose collieriesare all located in the Panther CreekValley. Among the spectatorswere about twenty Italians and rs

who will be called upon totell the conditions prevailing in themiddle, or Hazleton region.

In opening the days proceedings, is

Chairman Gray made an explana-

tion of the attitude of the Commis

sion regarding tue eitorts lor anoutside settlement. He said therehad been a misunderstanding insome quarters. The idea had goneout that the whole matter would bedismissed if an agreement wasreached. This, he said, was incor-

rect. He read a statement made bythe in which it wasstated that the committee wouldnot abrogate its duties and that itwould stand responsible for anyagreement it approved or award itmade. The chairman also addedthat the Commission wished to saythat parties to the controversy maynot withdraw without the consentof the other parties before the Com-

mission."We would be glad to. have

everybody represented and. havethe whole field covered," said he.

Mr. Dickson announced that inaddition to representing the LehighCoal and Navigation Company, heappeared for the individual con-

cerns in'tbe anthracite region. On

the outside agreement propositionChairman Gray announced that theCommission still "entertained thehope that efforts to agree wouldcontinue and the Commission wouldgladly lend its good offices to thatend."

Judge Gray said that unless somecommon sense agreement wasreached'as to the presentation of

j figures expectation of life of mostof the members of the Commissionwould be insufficient to reach anend to the controversy."

President Mitchell was called tothe stand and in answer to ques- -

tions by his counsel said the 20 per(cent increase in wages would increase the labor cost less than tencents a ton. Taking Presidentliner's statement as a basis he saidthe increase would be about 17cents a ton.

Fine Sports.The polo'team from Hawaii will

go to Honolulu next year in forceto claim, the championship on June23. It is stated that Samuel Par-

ker and W. A. Carter have prom-

ised '$500 a piece towards the im-

provement of the team, the amountto be expended in ponies, equipageor what not, any thing as long asOahu is conquered. The Oahumen are rejoicing over this exhibi- -

tion ol sport and intend to make ashard a fight for the cup as theycan. The total sale of ponies forthe Kauai team, including the rid-

ing horse purchased by H. P. Bald-

win, amounted to $900. D. P. R.Isenberg bought one of the stringfor his wife's use. Star.

MINISTER ItELlEVED.

Senor Conchn Has I'crslstently Op- -

posed Cunal Treaty '

Washington, Dec. 1. Senor Con-- .

cha has been relieved as MinisterColombia by orders lrom Bogota, j

and it i9 believed that Dr. Thomas ,

Herran, the present secretary of j

legation here, will be accredited asMinister to succeed Senor Concha I

the course of a few days. Mean-

while Dr. Herran has been clothedhis Government with full auth-

ority to prosecute the negotiationslooking to a canal treaty with con-

siderably enlarged powers.Minister Concha, having stood

fast against strong representationsfrom his own Government favoring

treaty, the latter decided to placethe further negotiations in thehands of Dr. Herran. It is of courseassumed from this change that thechances of the treaty have beenbettered.

It is believed that the question ofsovereignty, which has thus farheld up the negotiation of a treaty,

in a fair way to be settled be-

tween Colombia's new representa-

tive and Secretary Hay. The ap-

pointment of Dr. Herran as Minis-

ter will be awaited with interest in

Washington. There is no doubtthat the State Department will giveits cordial assent to the successionof Dr. Herran as Minister.

Dr. Herran called at the StateDepartment today and acquaintedActing Secretary Hill with the factsin the case. The department'sstatement in the matter is that Min-

ister Concha leaves for New Yorkfor the sake of his health and for

private reasons; that Dr. Herron is

charge d'affairesvad interim, andthat he has been empowered by theMinister to conduct further negotia-- t

ons of the canal treaty. Thisstatement does not change the ex-

pectation here that in the end Dr.Herran is to be made Minister.

What Is u Cornell (

A spasmodic effort to expel themucus from the bronchial tubes.A cold causes a more abundant se

cretion of mucus, and when the.

lungs and bronchhl tubes are in-

flamed, they are extremely sensitiveto the irritation. Unless care is

taken, the cold may result in pneu-

monia, which is swift and deadly.It the cold is a lingering one, themore leisurely but equally fatalconsumption may set it. Do notneglect a cold of cough. TakeChamberlain's Cough Remedy. Italways cures and cures quickly.The Hilo Drug Store sells it.

House Committee Begins OperationsSenator Cullom's Measure.

Washington, Dec. 2. The Judi-

ciary Committee of the House heldits first meeting today and tookprompt aclion in the direction ofgetting an anti-tru- st measure beforeCongress at the earliest possiblemoment. Jenkins of Wisconsin,

who has become acting chairman,owing to the retirement of JudgeRay, referred all measures dealingwith trusts to the ofwhich Littlefield of Maine is chair-

man, and that willgo to work at once. It is the hopeof Littlefield that a bill can be reported out of the full committee be-

fore the adjournment for the Christ-

mas holidays. The committee to-

day unanimously voted to requestthe speaker to appoint Jenkinschairman of the committee.

Washington, Dec. 2. SenatorCullom today introduced a bill toamend the Sherman anti-tru- st law.It prohibits interstate commerce inarticles produced by trusts, thepenalty for violations being a fine

of from $500 to $5,000.The bill authorizes the Attorney- -

General or any District Attorney tomake application to Federal judgesfor the summoning of persons before them to answer questions as tomaterial violations of the anti-tru- st

law in advance of the trial of a case

and requires the Judges to issueorders for the appearance of suchpersons upon this application. Insuch cases witnesses are to be protected against prosecution on ac-- I

count of their revelations, but they' are to be deprived of the right toI refuse to answer because of self-in--'

crimination.Annual reports are required to be

made by all persons, firms and cor-

porations engaged in interstate com-

merce. They are to be filled withthe Interstate Commerce Commis-sion, and they are to be subject tothe scrutiny of the Attorney-Genera- l,

but not of the general public.The Attorney-Gener- al is anthor-ize- d

to appoint fifteen special agetttsto seek out violations of the law.

TOO TEMPERATE FOR URITONS.

Roosevelt's Conservatism SurprisesLondon Admirers.

London, Dec. 3. Some of theLondon newspapers regard Presi-

dent Roosevelt's message as a dis-

appointment, inasmuch as, accord-ing to their views, "he adopts acautious and conservative policyrather than a revolutionary one indealing with the trust question andthe tariff." On the whole, how-

ever, while carefully examining themessage in detail, there is no dispo-

sition on the part of the press tostrongly criticise it.

The general impression is thatPresident Roosevelt has been influenced by the warning echoes ofthe last elections, and that he seeksto attract rather than attempt tocompel the support of Congress.

A leading paper says: "Themessage is more remarkable for thelofty idealism of its language thanfor any boldness in its specificrecommendations."

The President's enunciation ofthe foreign policy of the UnitedStates and his advocacy of a strongNavy meet with warm appreciation,and the message generally is wel-

comed as a tranquilizing one byproviding that no organic changeof policy is intended.

Christmas Announcement

The favorable news in regard to Sugar, the cor-

responding rise in all Sugar Stocks, and the gen-

eral results of the late election, warrant theassumption that this year's Christmas trade willbe fully up to the average. For this we haveprepared in a more than unusually thoroughmanner.

In Japanese Ware we have a few of the far famedSatsuma Vases, every piece a work of art; eachfigure, tiny though it may be, standing out clearand distinct.

CloisonneWare with delicatcsilver thread imbed-ded in the metal, forming wonderful designs, possi-

ble only to a people for whom time has little value.r'Imari" bowls and plates, "Kutani," "Awata"and "Ko:hi" vases, bowls and platters, each,make with its own peculiarities, and each with oi

beauty of its own. Egg shell Japanese ware inTea Sets, Coffee Sets, Single Cups and Saucers,and a few Bowls, all nearly transparent and in.

designs quaint and beautifully worked out.Then too we have the famous Japanese Drawn

Work and Embroidery on Grass Linen, an assort-ment which our agents in Japan have beenworking up for several months past. Amongthem are Doyleys, Napkins, Squares, in varioussizes. Table Cloths, Table Scarfs, flouncing, etc.and a small but choice lot of Gauze Table Cloths,all perfect in design and finish.

We must not forget the Panels, Silk Embroid-ered Covers, Photo Screens, Cabinets, etc., all ofwhich are worthy of special mention.

In the "Pina" or Pineapple Fibre Cloth wehave a number of beautiful shades. A dresslength of this would be a very welcome presentto friends abroad, as it is seldom found in Ameri-can stores.

We have not forgotten the American andEuropean markets, however. From them wehave procured a few specialties direct from ac-

knowledged headquarters. In fans, for instance,we have perhaps the best line ever brought intothe country. Prices from $1.00 to $25 each.Real Shell Combs, Barrettes and Pins, AigrettesSpaugled Butterflies, etc., direct from the makers.No middleman's profit. Some cushion coversin beautiful designs, and pillows for them. Ladies'Silk Umbrellas with piarl and silver mountedhandles and many other novelties that cannot bementioned for lack of space.

Our regular line of Dry Goods, too, is unusu-ally complete, and our stock of trimmings willcompare favorably with any in the country. Wehave silks in Peau de Soie, Crape de Chien, andTaffettas in black and colors, and a few singlelengths of Flowered Taffettas aiid Foulards.Leghorn Hats we trim to order, and havean excellent line of flowers and feathers to selectfrom.

For the gentlemen we have Neckties, in everyshape and color, Collars in all the new cuts,Negligee shirts of the well known Monarch brand(which is a sufficient guarantee of fit and style).Initial Silk Handkerchiefs, Pajama Suits, includ-ing a few silk ones from Japan.

We are headquarters lor Stetson and PanamaHats, and we are making a specialty of a Felthat in all styles and colors at $3.00 each. Wehave a line of suitings that will compare favorablywith any Honolulu establishment, and these insingle suit lengths. In fact, in this departmentas in others, our aim has been to make it as com-

plete as possible.Our Grocery Department as ever is full of care-

fully selected goods. We carry the celebratedCurtice Blue Label line, Heinz's well knownproducts, C. & B. Jams and Pickles, Spices, etc.and in Meats, Soups and Fish we have the bestproducts of the best factories.

White Label Olives speak for themselves in sizeand quality and the Olive Oils, and the variouscondiments are put up in so attractive a manneras to create an appetite if none previously existed.Cranberries, Plum Puddings, and all other goodthings for the Christmas dinner can here be foundand we guarantee their freshness and excellence.

Whitman's Chocolates and confectiotis make afitting finish.

We have only space to meution a few of theheadings, hundreds of other articles of equal im-

portance are in stock and it is always a pleasureto show goods and quote prices.

We have just received the sole ageucy forHorner's Butter, so well and favorably known inthis district. This we are selling at 80 cents a

roll, full size, about as cheap as cooking butter.

Our motto in our Grocery Department hasalwaysbeen: "Not how Cheap but how Good."
