SIR: The select committee, to whom
was referred the resolution introduced by
the Representative from Lihue and Ko-
loa. relating to the taro blight, report:
That in view of the Importance of the
matter, and OF the lack Of definite infor-
nation upon the subject. the committee
requested Prof. A. b. Lyons, of Oahu
College, to proceed to Kauai and make
investigations and report.
Professor Lyons went to Kauai and
under date of September 18th submitted
his report, which is hereto appended.
Your committee believe that the in
vestigations should be carried further,
and the most thorough and intelligent
experiments made to ascertain the pre-
else cause of the disease, and the rem
edy or remedies.
While Kauai has suffered chiefly thus
lar, no one can tell how soon the blight
may appear on the her islands, and
how disastrous the results may become
On Kauai the natives have suffere
loss OF taro crops for several years, and
many have had to import their poi frou
Oahu. In some localities it is with great
dlfnculty that the people can obtain
means OF support.
The people have exhausted all the re-
| sources at their command to remedy the
evil, bat with little or no success.
Your committee feel that public atten
ton and aid shou be given to this sub
| ject, and therefore recommend that the
Minister of the Interior be directed t
cause full investigation to be made o
the subject, and experiments tried; anC
that an appropriation of $500 be made t,
defray the expenses which may be in
Cured.
Respectfully submitted,

FIVE WOMEN COLONIES.
Regiments in the Prussian Army
Led by Danes OF High De
cree.


Five women, all DANES of high
degree, have been appointed to the
command of crack regiments in
the Prussian army by the present
young warrior emperor, says the
New York Sun. This is, like most
of his acts, an entirely new de-
parture, but whether it is shrewd
devise or simply one of his pecu-
liar freaks it is we'll calculated to
achieve his dearest ambition, the
exaltation and popularizing Of the
army above everything else. Pre-
vious to his accession there were
only two women colonies in the
Prussian army and none had been
appointed for nearly a score years.
The senior woman colonel is the
Empress Frederick, who was placed
in command of a regiment of hus-
sars at the coronation of Emperor
William l., October 49,, 1861.
Princess Frederick Charles, widow
of the famous Red Prince" ranks
second in point of time. She re-
ceived her colonelcy in 1874.
Queen Victoria was made colonel
of Prussian regiment of dragons
in 1889. The two first named have
often ridden at the head of their
regiments dressed in their full regi-
mentals, and one of the Empress
Frederick's most dashing pictures
shows her thus attired and afield.

arrival from New York at the Bar Harbor
residence of Walter Damrosch, s~on-in-law
Of Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Blaine said at time Of
seizure of the schooner Adams, Just after
Mr.. Cleveland became president, that his
foreign policy in all things wa thought to
be a strong one. and that he ought not to
express himself before the president had q
chance to act. But this time, hessys, ''the
duty is clear and the path plain" In sub
stance 1t is to c.ose traffic between the old
everybody and everything save the mails
and citizens of THU country now abroad,
and to admit these only after perfect pre-
caution: His idea is that there arc not and
cannot be commercial relations which for .
moment are to be consideredi in comparison
to safety to life. He has always held this
country to be dependent on no otner, save
for some of the ~luxuries of life. and he
thinks while we may l.se and cause loss in

NEW YoKK, Sept. 5.-The Herald's

the authorities Of Russia in Europe took
no steps to stop it. The English officials in
India took proper precautionary measures.
There ought to be an international hyRinie
