Mr.. jones', controlling about 5000
voters, had omitted his own name,
but upon being demonstrated with
for dropping himself consented to
change his vote, thus effecting his
election as trustee. The correct
list of trustees is as follows:--
5. b. Dole, III. p. Baldwin, w. f..
Rowell, G.. N. Wilcox, II. Halstead,
ii. f. Glade, II. A. Macfe, p, c.
Jones, j. B. Atherton, l.. A. Thurs
ton, w. Y. Horner, j. M. Horner,
w. r. Castle.
Mr.. Macfie, after the minutes had
been accepted, rose and thanked
the Convention for the honor of
electing him trustee, but aske Il
the favor of allowing him to decline
the position.
The PRESIDENT said Mr.. NIactic's
selection was generally regarded as
a happy one, and hoped he would
consent to remain on the Board.
MEssRs. DAVIES and DOLE having
pressed the Presidents request, Mr..
Macfc by silence consented to
stand.
The auditor, Mr.. Atherton, re-
ported on the Treasurer's report,
"Examined and found correct"
Adopted.
Mr.. II. HALsrEAD read the report
of the Committee on Machinery.
The Committee was unable to pre-
sent many new features, although
the past year had been remarkable
for the steady application of i'm
proved machinery in great number
of their sugar houses.
The Jarvis furnace is now re-
garded OH the whole an economic
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, iii their
opinion, more to be commended than
the Jarvis furnace. BY their use
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 five-roller mill.
Mr.. Kennedy, manager of the Wal
akea mill, says the automatic feed
for the t@o-roller mill was the secret
of success with the double-crushing,
and says further that, after the first
mills good grinding, he can get
with hot water from the second mill
1G to 1S percent additional juice,
and without water, and grinding the
best he could with the three-roller
mill, he gets from 13 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 a 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 praclica
sugar boilers. It's economic advan,
tage lay in its utilization of the
waste steam. They predicted fol
the double and triple effect place
in all well-organized sugar estates
The apparatus had been introduced
in many alterations made during tho
past year.
Diffusion is mentioned as probabl,
their next step forward. Little b,
little the difficulties were being
overcome, and sugar cane can b.
and is to-day successfully converted
into sugar by this process. Tn
question of fuel was themain diff
Guilty here, but one not regarded n
fatal by the committee.
Mr.. THEo. II. DAVIES read til
report of the Committee on Legis
lation. They had no suggestion o
new Legislation to be effected-re

laws to be more necessary at pre-
