proposed action of the Convention.
lie considered the Company had a
call to do something in the matter.
1t would not do to have foreign in
reference here. The country should
he able to manage its own affairs.
Mr.. DAVIES did not sec what there
was i'll that resolution to he branded
as an opposition act. He did not
think the Ministry were to blame
for the act of the japanese Govern
ment. A steamer came here with
agents of the japanese Government.
and he did not know if any of them
could have dealt with the matter
with any less difficulty than the
Government had. But what has
happened once may happen again.
Something seems to be loose here.
He thought there had not been pro.
per inspection here. Our record
was not perfectly clean in that re-
spect. AT the same time the privi-
lege of interference demanded by
Japan could not he submitted to.
The resolution as amended vas
carried without dissent.
Several subjects were called, and
q discussion started on the trans
portation of cane.
A discussion on the manufacture
of sugar followed, being opened with
a paper by Mr.. Marsden, read by
the Secretary. 1t spoke of the
waste sustained in not looking after
the refuse matter. In Jamaica 60
gallons of rum were made to the ton
of sugar. The author closed by
hoping the distillation of rum on
these Islands would receive the con-
sideration of the planters at this
meeting. The paper was ordered
printed in the Monthly.
The Secretary also read q paper
on cane cultivation, by Mr.. f. M.
Walsh, manager of Paia plantation,
Maui. 1t went in for thorough Gull
tivation and the best of seed cane.
Horse hoeing of weeds had been
abandoned in favor of hand hoeing.
The paper was ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. LIDGATE, reverting to the
subject of sugar manufacture,
thought rum was made one of the
main objects in Jamaica. He should
prefer them, on these islands, get
ting all the sugar possible out of
the molasses. Rum, if they wanted
to make it here, could he produced
from cheaper stock than sugar cane.
Mr.. r. HALsTEAD spoke favor
ably of the double effect as COM
pared with the triple effect.
Mr.. LIDGATE was warmly in favor
of the triple effect, one great adj
vantage of it being that it got away
with the exhaust steam.
MIR. w. GoopALE told of the sue
cess of the triple effect at Pahala.
Mr.. II. p BALDwIN's experience
was that the double effect disposed
of the exhaust steam even more
effectually than the triple effect. 1t
was q subject, however, upon which
engineers differed.
Mr.. G.. III. DOLE. in answer to
question by Mr.. Lidgate on cleaning,
gave his method of that operation.
Mr.. j. M. HoRNER did not know
anything about sugar boiling, but
boiler told him five percent of sugar
was saved by The use of precipita-
tors.
Mr.. w. ii. BAILEY and others
continued the discussion.
Mr.. THURsToN opened the subject
of forestry, with an account of what
Mr.. Jaeger is doing with trees on
the arid Slopes of Makiki, Honolulu.
Mr.. w. III. PuRvIs spoke of the
silver waffle tree, valuable for its
tannin. Its seed was sowh in drills
in Australia. 1t was very rapid
grower.
