the establishment Of z vaccine
farm. The members Of the COM
mittee on quarantine, whose report
is published elsewhere, thoroughly
Investigated The practicability of

recommendation. The necessity Of
such : source Of supply for fresh
bovine virus has been severely felt
here st imes, and the board Of
health has acted wisely in moving
at once in this matter. 70 be ready
70 meet any unforeseen emergency.
Information was elected during
discussion Of the question that It
would take out 9 short time in
which 70 have the farm in running
order. D.. Day stated that fresh
bovine virus for innoculation would
arrive by the next steamer from
the Colonies. and the work could
proceed Immediately. It IS, per
haps, needless to point out that
great care and cleanliness should
be exercised in conducting the
farm and also that the vaccina-
ton law should Be strictly enforced

AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY REPORT

On another page viii be found s
report Of the commissioner Of
agriculture and forestry to the
minister of the interior. 1t opens
with 3 reference TO the selection OF
about twenty acres of the land on
the southeast slope of Punchbowl
to be set apart for 3 government
nursery. This land lies just be
yond and above the Makiki burial
ground, and the road leading from
Pensacola street TO Punchbowl
winds through the tract. So far as
can be judged from observation,
the site is = good one for the pur-
pose intended, and in time, as the
trees grow up, 3 fine grove will be
provided in the outskirts of the
city for the recreation OF Its in
habitants.
There is only one obstacle to
this plan for park on Punehbowl
hill, and that is the question Of the
water supply. The elevation ofthe
proposed site would make any
practical arrangements for water
exceedingly expensive. If some
feasible plan for overcoming this
difficulty at 2 moderate cost can
be suggested, there is no reason
why the park should not be made
q success.
The commissioner calls attention
to the measures taken to provide
disinfecting fluids for spraying
trees affected with any kind of
blight, and suggests that regula-
tons be adopted making it COM
pulsory to destroy these insect
pests, when they appear on the
trees or plants of their property.
He also states that certain varie-
ties Of fruit trees named have been
ordered from Australia, for plant |
ing on the government reserves.
Extreme caution should be taken
to guard against the introduction
Of insect pests on trees imported |
from any foreign country. These
pests generally make their abode
among the roots Of plants, and are
too often overlooked when an in
spection is made. The Australian
and American papers are full of
complaints regarding the pests
.TOubling their trees, which cause
he death Of many Of them.
The commissioner makes sug-
yestions regarding the preserva-
ion Of forests, which are quite
sound, and accord with utterances
II the press here for years past;
,ut to enforce them viii doubtless
-equire special enactments before
my radical reform can be accom-
,lished. Forests should be pre-
eryed wherever they are found on
,ur islands, whether on public or
private lands, and if the efforts of
he commissioner aid in their
reservation, he viii have per
Ormed q good service to the coun-

SPARE TEE TREES

In last weeks issue Of the Ga.
ZETTE was communication
from Dr.. Whitney, calling atten.
ton TO the cutting down Of the
grove Of trees growing in the crater
Of Punchbowl hill, back OF Homo
lulu. On inquiry We find that this
work has been going on for about a
month past, without It's being gen.
orally known. This fine grove OF
trees was planted by King Kala-
kaua, who commenced his work of
improvement about 1875, year or
two after his accession TO the
throne, and it was carried on for
several years. Some of our older
residents may remember seeing
him early on many mornings, going
UP the steep path at the head of
his soldiers, who carried boxes OF
young trees for planting and cans
OF water for watering them. He
often said that his plan was to
make 3 park there, and we remem-
Der having g citizen remark that If
he succeeded in carrying out his
purpose, It ought TO be called "Kala-
kaua Park"
For five long years the king
watched and nursed his young
grove of various kinds of trees,
which slowly took root, some dying
while Others escaped the heat of the
sun and the attacks Of the animals
st that time allowed to roam over
the hill. Those that survived con-
tinued TO grow slowly till the Ian
tana spread among them and
served TO protect the trees both
from the hot sun and the hun
CRY horses, till now many Of
them are large and strong, and
promised TO fulfil the purpose for
which they were planted-to make
2 DleaSsnt. cool retreat fnr the r1o-
pie Of Honolulu.
On inquiry Al the Government
house We learn that PunchbOwl
hill belongs 70 the Crown Land es-
tate, and that It was leased in
August, 1882, for the term Of thirty
years, to Kapiolani, then queen
and now the queen-dowager. Under
this lease she claims full possession
Of the land and everything on it.
except as may be sublet by her,
and It is understood that this cut
ting Of the trees is being done by
her o. by her permission. The
lease under which she holds pos

The lease is not made on the

ing. the anti-silver men, it is said, pro.
posed that the house proceed at once to
the consideration OF q measure for the
immediate unconditional repeal OF the
silver purchaeing clause of the Sherman
act, and that vote be taken upon that
measure only. Az counter PROPOSE
tion the silver men offered to Introduce .
bill to repeal the Sherman act, coupled
with q provision for free coinage, the
rates to be fixed by the house. For this
measure the opponents of silver might
offer q substitute if they desired but
silver men want q chance to vote on
free coinage in some way. The latter
further agreed that the debate should
continue three weeks, and if at the end
OF that time there were remarks un-
delivered, they might be printed in the
record. The anti-silver men withdrew
to consider this proposition before CIV
tnp an answer.
The reason for the refusal OF the anti
silver men to accept the proposition OF
the silver men is said to be the fact that
the administration desires to have the
81 erman law repealed uEconditionally,
the matter OF new legislation to be dis

Carlisle was a visitor to the capitol
this morning. Establishing himself in
the library, he sent for Cochran. Tracy
and Raynor, who left the conference to
attend the summons.
Soon after the house adjourned, the
silver and anti-silver advocates held
separate conferences. A prominent anti
silver man stated that the matter was
narrowed down to the question as to
which proposition, repeal or free coin
age, should be voted on first. Carlisle
is credited with advising the anti-silver
men to insist on the unconditional repeal
of the purchase clause of the Sherman
law, and to reach vote on the subject

A PROPOSITION FORMULATED.

The 6ituation simplifisd by the Anti
Silver Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-This evening
. proposition was formulated by the
anti-silvsr committee which, it is be-
lieved, will be acceptable to the free
coinage committee. and that at the
meeting tomorrow morning the confer
ence will request the committee on
rules to report an order to the house
covering the arrangement. 1t is that
the house proceed to the discussion OF a
bill for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law; that oppor-
tunity be given to offer an amendment
providing for free coinage OF silver at
ratio to be agreed upon by the silver
men, If it 10 possible. II not, then
vote shall be taken upon the different
ratios proposed.
If free coinage at any ratio be rejected,
an amendment may be offered similar
TO the Bland bill of 1878, limiting the
purchase OF bullion and the amount OF
coinage. This failing, vote will be
taken upon the bill as introduced, or
unconditional repeal.
The eitustion was greatly simplified
tonight by the action of the conference
held at the residence of Secretary Car
Isle, at which anti-silverites were pres
ent. A general discussion Of the PROPOSE
tions submitted by the anti-silver COM
mittee was had, and it was agreed to
take affirmative action on every PROPOSE

tendance congratulated themselves that

| General Condition.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. l0.-The August
report OF the statistician OF the depart
ment Of agriculture shows that the con-
dition Of corn has declined little over
elk points during the past mouth, the
average for the entire breadth being 81
against 93.2 for July. This decline is
due to drought which has proved both
extensive and persistent, while in some
parts of the country continued dry
weather has injured the crop beyond
recovery. 1t is, nevertheless, true as to
larger portion OF the area devoted
thereto that improvement is not only
possible, bat with sufficient rainfall
through August. will be assured. The
averages in the principal states are !:
Illinois, 81; Iowa, l02; Kansas 81; Ne
braska. S4.
There has been considerable falling
of in the condition of spring wheat
since last month amounting to some
thing over 10 points, the average condi-
tion the present month being ~ ee
against TIA for the month of July. The
condition by states is ss follows: Wis
censin 70; Iowa 81; Nebraska 75; South
Dakota IS. This decline of 10 points 10
the result of too high temperature and
deficient rainfall in the spring wheat
states. Drought is prevalent over ex-
tensive areas and has done much dam
age. Much injury also has been done
this crop by the chinch bug and rust in
several states.
The condition of spring rye in August
10 1876 as against SO in July.
The condition of oats has fallen 10
points since the July report, being 1873
as compared with 1873 last month,
while in August, 1892, it stood at 862. E
1t is the lowest condition reported in
August for many years.
August returns for barley show q
slight decline in the condition from that
OF last month, being $40 against Sb.3 in
July.
The acreage of buckwheat is reported
at 96.3 and the condition at 88 8.
The condition OF potatoes has declined
nearly nine points since last month and
now stande at Sc. The condition OF Au-
gust has only been lower twice in the
last decade.
The condition of timothy is S9.6 COM
pared with 43 2 in 1892

and has generally been secufed in good
condition.
The general average of tobacco fell
from SO on July 1st to 1922 on the 1st
instant.
A still further decline in the condi-
tion of apples is made evident oy the re-
turns for August. In many etates
complete failure is reported.
The drouth has done damage to
peaches in the Atlantic peach belt. A
further decline is noted in Michigan,
where the crop has dropped severely.
California has good crop OF excellent
quality.
An abundant crop of grapes is pre-
dicted at this date. The percentages of
July have been generally we'll main
tanned. Dry weather has tended to
check the spread OF rot and mildew.
