Following this report is that
upon Government lands by Mr.. j.
F. Brown, which consists almost
entirely of valuable statistical
tables showing the area IN acres
and fractions of all Government
lands throughout the country, to-
gether with the present rental OBJ
tanned upon leased lands, the num-
Der of Government leases and the
appraised value of each land. To
this is also added brief remarks as
to the nature and character of the
land. The tables are SO full and
complete that any analysis which
will give a picture of them seems
impossible. The summary which
Is made up from the tables shows
that there are 861 800 acres of Gov
eminent lands, of which $3.50
acres cover cane and arabic land
with homesteads ; forest land takes
something over 204, 600 acres; graz
ing land of fair quality over 367,-
600 acres. The same land of bar
rem, rugged character about PA, 600
acres rough mountain land about
10000 acres ponds $50, and
valuable building lots 100 acres.
The annual income is S67,636,
which is derived from a small por-
ton comparatively of the entire
area The total valuation as ap-
pears in the report of the Minister
Of Finance is $2,128,850. This re-
port should be in the hands of
every bank, lawyers Office, real
estate dealer throughout the coun-
try and should certainly be owned
by all plantation and other land
owners. ~ $50 1I
Next in order comes the report
upon the available water supply
for Hamakua which is made by
John M. Eydgate. This report is
very complete and carefully gotten
up, giving statistics of rain fall for
a number of points together with
the estimated cost of bitches.
fumes, dams, etc., to take water
from the Kohala mountains as far
as Kukaian. This total appears to
be $l44,290i Mr.. Lydgate believes
that the average flow which might
be depended upon during eight
months at least would be 5,680,000
gallons daily which would be 8 40
cubic feet per second. While the
total is large, yet that result mast
be disappointing to those who be-
lieved the water supply from the
Kohala mountains was inexhaust-
able Still the result obtained is
ample sufficient to justify the ex-
penditure not only of the amount
of the estimates but even much
more. The plan which Mr.. Lyd-
gate proposes involves wooden
fumes, bitches and iron pipes. The
building of reservoirs is a very i'm
portant matter and it appears by
the report that there are ample
storage locations which could be
utilized at comparatively small
expense. The report is worthy of
the careful study of all persons
having interests in the district.

preventing any such competition. Last

Views OF. This Subject a..,:
: The cross examination of Henry de GrOot
by Attorney Highton was resumed in the
Blythe case yesterday. He told all that he
could remember of conversations with
Blythe, all of which had been touched upon
in his direct examination.
Blythe stated to him that he had regretted
naming his mining claims after Nellie Fir
min, as she had proved ungrateful and had
caused him great deal Of trouble. Refer
ring 10 her, but not mentioning her name
he further said that he believed some
women would poison a man TO obtain hi 8
property, and his experience with her had
made him more cautious in his alliances
with women. When the witness j0ked him
upon his leading BACHELORS life he replied
that the Scriptures say "it is not good for
man to be alone"
He said he was not exactly married, but
he had met a eOmely young person and had
taken her into his service.
Rlrtte added that hfs rge IT was n
dangerous experiment TO become married,
especially IN California, where There We're
so many scheming adVenturesses. There
was more conversation in regard to the
physiological aspect OF marriage. but the
witness did not approve or reproYe what
Blythe said, as he did not think it was right
to contradict a man of Blythe's age. The
moral, social and religious aspects of mar
formed that Alice Edith was Blythe's
hOusekeeper.
Christopher T.. Curtis, Superintendent of
the California Safe Deposit Company, testI-
fed regarding Blyihe's contract with the
company when he began to make denositG
there. The contract was dated May u.s.
but the witness did not see it signed. The
document was then offered in evidence
with the abject of contradieting Mrs. Ford'S
testimony rs to Blythe'S height, color of
eyes and hair and other features.
:. The contract sets forth that Blythe's
birthplace was England, age a. height 5

All WY'S FUNERAL.
Barbaric Display by Highbinders Over
His Burial.

Barbaric Display by Highbinders Over
His Burial.
Chinatown was very sensibly impressed
yesterday by the most magnificent and elab-
crate heather funeral rites ever held there,
and also by the influence Of Little Pete"
and his highb inder society, tile Gi Sin Seer,
thus made manifest. Gy All Wy, the muir
dered Chinese, obscure among his people,
but henchman of Little Pete" and vic
tim of arrival faction, was buried. 1t was
owing to his connections and peculiar death
that the occasion Of his exit to the region
of flowers was taken advantage Of by his
society to show how powerful are the high
binders. The display was one of barbaric
splendor and Oriental lavisbness, and when
the funeral procession wendell Its way out
OF Chinatown there were about ninety car
riages in line and crowds of Chinese follow
ing on foot.
Close by the headquarters of the Gi Sin
Seer, on Stockton street, near Washington,
a huge platform had been built upon the
street.. Covering it was canopy Of fine
white cloth, under which the funeral serv-
ices were held. On the front of this plat
form lay the coffin containing Wy's
remains-a gorgeous casket, bound and deco
rated with gold and silver ornaments
purchased by the highbinders at great
expense for the dead Shareholder. Around
goats and pigs, roast chickens and ducks,
and eggs, fish, pies, buildings, candies, nuts.
fruit, birds nests, and also handsome
opium outfit, with an ample supply of the
seductive drug prepared for smoking-all
for the dead mans use III the other world.
Wy's widow sat upon mating beside
the coffin wailing and lamenting his fate,
while near her were Wy's three slaves and
family. Two priests. clad in glittering raj
ment performed mysterious rites with I'M,
mense cymbals and wind instruments and
a crowd of young Chinese women in white
silk poured tea over the platform and upon
the mourners' heads. Immense quantities
Of the perforated papers used at Chinese
funerals were scattered broadcast over
many blocks, and the heathenish ceremonies
lasted nearly two hours before Wy was be-
lieved safe fromsthe Prince of Hades.
The police believe that the funeral will
arouse the bitterest feeling among Wy's
friends, and another murder Is expected to
ta Ike filucp at INV rnnu,apt in Chinatown.
