Improvement, but It's doubtful sue
cess in some cases the committee at
tributed to the location of chimneys
near hillside spurs, causing derange-
ment of the draught.
The smoke consumer was, in their
opinion. more TO be commended than
the Jarvis furnace. BY their fuse
trash brought direct from the rollers
is burned on common CRATE bars,
generating an abundance of steam
and consuming its own smoke.
Perhaps the most striking advance
made during the past year is the
double-crushing or iive-roller mill.
Mr.. Kennedy, manager of the Wal
akea mill, says the automatic feed
for the two-roller mill was the secret
of success with the doublc-crushing,
and says further that, after the first
mills good grinding, he can get
with hot water from the second mill
16 to Is percent additional Juice,
and without water, and grinding the
best he could with the three-roller
mill, he gets from l3 to Is percent
additional, with the juice ] to
degree higher density than from the
first mill.
AS the trash leaves the second
mill it is dry and looks like chips
and sawdust from planning mill.
A unanimous verdict in favor of
maceration is attested by the Homo
lulu Ironworks working to their
fullest capacity in manufacturing
double-crushers.
The double effect, as an evaporat-
ing agent, seemed to be preferred
to the triple effect by most practical
sugar boilers. It's economic advan-
tage lay in its utilization of the
waste steam. They predicted for
the double and triple effect place
in all wcll-organized sugar estates.
The apparatus had been introduced
in many alterations made during the
past year.
Diffusion is mentioned as probably
their next step forward. Little by
little the difficulties were being
overcome, and sugar cane can be
and is to-day successfully converted
into sugar by this process. The
question of fuel was themain diff
Guilty here, but one not regarded as
fatal by the committee.
MIR. THEo. III. DAVIES read the
report of the Committee on Legis-
lation. They had no suggestion Of
new legislation to be effected-re-
garding the enforcement of existing
laws to be more necessary at pre-
sent. They believed that the pre-
sent labor laws were generally salts
factory, or they should long ago
have had remonstrances or refusals
of immigration from some of those
nations which have hitherto favored
immigration to this kingdom. Grave
complaints, however, had arisen,
and some governments now were in
clined to look with suspicion upon
the mode in which the immigrants
are treated or neglected here. 1t
had long been the boast of this king
dom that special confidence was re-
posed by the Great Powers in the
administration of justice in our
courts, while nations larger and of
older civilization had to submit to
the establishment of consular courts
and other forms of foreign inter-
ference. The'report went on to in
stance the cutlery of a few years
ago against the introduction of
East Indian coolies, because it was
alleged that Great Britain would
establish q local protectorate over
them. Other governments assented
to their subjects coming here with
out any fresh enactments, but for
some reason steps are now being
taken for the appointment of foreign
ers as protectors of immigrants,
without even the formality of ask
ing that laws be introduced to
authorize such appointments. This
course could only be regarded as
reproach to the nation, virtual as
surance that the administration of
justice in our local courts is not as
good as it was. AS a matter of fact,
they knew that the constitution of
their police and district courts does
not possess the confidence of those
upon whose good report the judicial
reputation SO largely depends. The
appointment of magistrates within
the possibility of corrupt nomina-
tions had lowered the standard of
magistrates so appointed. The adj
ministration of justice must be pure
and removed from the domain of
party strife. TO this essential end,
the committee recommend that q
Royal Commission be appointed, to
take into consideration the present
status of the police and dis
trict courts, and to make such
recommendation as shall seem
best for the establishment of the
said courts on basis that will give
confidence to all classes in the king
