Mr.. Cleveland's health is again q
leading topic of conversation. That it
has not been entirely good has for
some time been apparent to those who
have came into close contact With him
and that his physician has forbid his
doing any work for the present is
known here, but it is generally thought
to be nothing more serious sthan over
work, daused by his queer habit of
spending hours over routine work that
might just as easily be performed by
one of the clerks at the White House.
A doctor who knows him sums up his
case thus; t'Oh, Cleveland is just like
most Fat men; he is slave to his
stomach, and every once in a while it,
brings him 10 bis knees, And If he
does not learn to control it, it viii

The establishment of solid, perman-

Honolulu. March a. Especial. - Re-
fcrring to the statement made by Repre-
sentative Geary. of California, at WASH
ing:on City, February q, in which he
mentioned the fact that new steamer
line was to be inaugurated between tho
islands and Puget sound. the Associated
Press correspondent, in conversation with
George Lycurgus. the protector of the new
line, who is largely interested in the ex-
portation of fruit from and the i'm
portstion of wines and liquors to the
islands, ascertained that the new line
would be started as soon as the Zambesi,
which is the first of the new company's
steamers, could be got ready. The Fam
best went ashore at Yokohama last De-
aud it ID expected she will be ready in
about two months.
Az to Mr.. Gearv's objections that the
new line would injure California trade.
Mr.. Lycurgus said:
We can export moro fruit to Puget sound than
California IL able to handle. California has ito
own fresh fruits and viii not pay the prices for
island products that we eau secure at Portland.
From Ban Francisco TO Portland the steamer
rate 10 about 60 cents per 100 pounds on all
fruits. Tn, rate 10 about tho same from the
islands to San Francisco, whereas we can ship
direct to Portland for about one half OF what we
pay via San Francisco. We can bring down
coal from the Seattle mines for about IS ton,
whereas coal from Australia costs US - 50 to u
ton. Hawaii naturally desires to purchase in
the cheapest market, and, while we do not de-
sire 10 discriminate against Caiifornis, we are
obliged TO go TO the Northwest for somc of the
products We need. As to railroad Transports

II have some doubt as to whether this

the tuition fees now due and being paid by
the pupils, as the new appropriation is not
available now. have written to the at

pay for their tuition from the day the law
goes into effect. the money they will have
paid will be returned to Them"
