An Increased Marine Corps Asked For.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 15.-In his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy, Colonel
Haywood, commandant of the marine
corps, speaks of the severe strain put upon
the marines at navy yards by the increased
demand for sea service, resulting in dis
satisfaction and the loss of many old soldiers.
He urges an increase of the corps. Also, it
is recommended that the provisions of the
act of Congress to prevent desertions from
the army be extended to include the marine
corps, as well as the provisions of the act re-
quiring examinations for promotion.

MUST CUT DISTRICTS.
The Baker Ballot Law NecessitateS
Dividing Polling Precincts.
HARD WORK FINDING BIG ROOMS.
The Late Voters May Find Themselves Left
on the Outside.
MORE WORK FOB THE COMMISSIONERS.

The work of setting the machinery ready
to put the Baker ballot law into operation
will begin in Harrisburg on the 25th inst.
Then the board appointed under Section 20
of the act of June 19, 1897 will meet in the
Supreme Court room to examine and in.
spect such styles, samples and patterns OF
shelves, or compartments and guard-rails as
may be submitted. At the same time the
board will examine any patterns OF improved
ballot boxes as may be submitted.
The board has suggested to County Com
missioners the necessity of Immediately
calling the Courts of Quarter Sessions to
the importance of dividing election dis
tricts so as to promote the public interest
and convenience of electors.
Must Construct Polling Places.
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Allegheny
CITY must be divided whenever at the next
preceding election more than 250 votes shall
have been polled in q district, and rooms
must be provided large enough to be fitted
up with voting shelves and guard-rails. in
accordance with the requirements of the
new law. Election districts containing
25O voters will require, if square,
15x15 feet, if not square, not less than
250 square feet of floor space, and
districts containing more than $50 voters
will require still larger rooms. As
the board believes it will be difficult to pro-
cure larger rooms, it suggests that it will
be necessary TO construct temporary rooms
provided with light and heat and that If
many districts are not reduced in sizes,
some voters will not have an opportunity to
vote, especially those who go to the polls
at the noon and evening hours.
If Mike Walsh were alive he might insist
more strongly than was his wont in the
'50s, on the necessity of voting early, if not
often.
Boyle Favors dividing Wards.
Commissioner Boyle did not, SO far as ap-
pearances were concerned, at least, take
kindly to the new law, as it entails on
county commissioners considerable expense.
They must find rooms large enough for the
purpose, though the State finds the furni-
ture, such as voting shelves, guard rails, etc.
Mr.. Boyle suggests that the expense might be
materially reduced if wards were divided,
as they could be some cases, by dividing
school houses at right angles and allowing
each of four districts to vote in each corner
He enumerated a number of wards in this
city in which such division might be made
without prejudice to anyone. In districts
where schoolhouses are not thus located it
may be possible that the county would be
put to the expense of getting rooms on the
best terms it can at its own expense. While
the State furnishes the shelves and guard
rails, they are thereafter the property of the
respective counties, but no further allow
ance is to be made to the counties for pro-
vlding them.

MADAGASCAR.

We have received copies of the
Madagascar News, published at the
capital Antananarivo, a weekly
square octave of sixteen pages,
wearing for a motto Madagascar
for the Malagasy, and her COM
merce for all countries" Text and
advertisements are all in the Eng
fish language, except the adver-
tisement of the Oriental Bank IN
both languages.
1t is now pretty generally known
that Madagascar, an island 900
miles long by $50 broad, with a
population of 100000, is virtually
a French Protectorate, the Mala-
gasy Government having been
forced in 1885 to cede port, Diego
Suarez, for French naval station,
and to yield to France the control
of foreign relations, nevertheless,
there is not word in the NADIA
gascar News indicating the pres
enee of a Frenchman within the
ken of the newspaper office, if We
except the French postage stamp
on the wrapper, and the announce
ment under the head of West
Coast News" that the French man
of-war D'Estaing with the Admiral
on board is at Mojanga. Life and
property do not appear to be very
secure in some districts, as one
"note informs It's readers that a
village had been entered by band
of robbers, but that the villagers
had repealed the attack and cap
tured five of the gang. The next
note tells of " six villages raided
and burnt by the robbers, men,
women and children butchered and
carried into captivity" and an Eng
lish merchant has a pitiful tale to
tell of the eXactions and outrages
he and his party were subjected to
on a twelve days coastlng voyage
in canoes for trading purposes.
The chairman of the Madagascar
Forest Company tells meeting of
shareholders in London that "the
coinage is in dollars, and no small
change, in lieu of which a dollar
was cut into pieces of various sizes,
representing half, quarter, eighth
and even smaller pieces" All
foreign news appears to come by
way Of Zanzibar, the South African
steamers calling at Tamatave three
times per month. A weeks thermo-
meter readings at the capital show
a maximum of 76'deg. Fair. and a
minimum of so in the second week

There is undoubtedly immense
wealth, mineral and vegetable,
awaiting development in NADIA

sign that the News warts to eX-
change with the Planters Monthly.
The Madagascar News proposes
to illustrate its alternate numbers,
and begins with a lithograph of the
Royal Palace, which, in exterior,
is not altogether unlike Iplani, ex-
cept that it is more lofty, consisting
of three verandahed stories with
turrets at the angles, and over the
main building high-pitched attic
with dormer windows in two tiers.

COFFEE PLANTING IN
HAWAII.
THE PROPOSED HAWAIIAN TEA AMI
COFFEE co. (LIMlTED).

THE PROPOSED HAWAIIAN TEA AND
COFFEE co. (LINnTED).
We understand that company
is being organized for the purpose
of carrying on the cultivation of
coffee and tea in the district of
Kona, Hawaii. The cultivation of
the former, however, will form the
main feature in the enterprise.
\ preliminary prospectus has
been issued and quite number of
the prominent gentlemen of this
city have subscribed largely for
stock.
Mr.. Charles D. Miller, a gentle
man Of several years experience in
coffee planting in Ceylon, is the
originator and promoter of the en-
terprise. He has made several
visits to Kona, and after thorough
" inspecting available lands there,
is of the opinion that the district is
not only we'll adapted to the sue
cessful cultivation of coffee, but also
for that of tea.
Negotiations have been made for
several tracts of land, all of which
are suitable for coffee culture and
are conveniently situated with re
gard to landings.
1t will be the object of the COM
pany to carry on the business in an
intelligent and scientific manner,
with the aid of the most modern
machinery for the proper handling
of the crop.
The methods as adopted in other
coffee-growing countries will be
followed out with such modifca-
tions as the nature of the soil and
climate may require.
The capital stock of the company
will be 100000, divided into GOO
shares of the par value of 500 per
share.
The Prospectus gives full parti-
eulars and the estimates enter min
utely into details connected with
the various works necessary for an
enterprise of this character.
That these Islands are eminently
adapted for the cultivation of coffee
there can be no doubt for it is no
experiment, the district already re-
ferred to having produced coffee of
superior quality, which has estab-
lished for itself a reputation not
only in the local markets, but also
abroad.
We feel that the industry once
started upon such basis as pro-
posed by the present company, will
be the means of encouraging others
to open up similar plantations.
Large tracts of land now lying idle
in many sections throughout the
group will ere long be covered
with luxuriant coffee trees and it
is only question of time when
coffee will become one of the prin-
cipal staples of export from these
Islands.
Those who may be DESTROYS of
stock in the proposed company
should lose no time in examining
the prospectus, otherwise they
may be too late.
We have no doubt Mr.. Miller
will be glad to furnish any further
particulars or information that NAV
be required.
Meanwhile few figures from
the preliminary prospectus may be
OF value to intending investors
Judging from the nature of the
soil, the climate and similar con
siderations, it is proposed to sci
