The pear orchards throughout the fruit
belt in the coast country adjacent to
North Galveston are now in full bloom

great is the number of strangers now
seeing" the belt, that railroads are
running special excursions from the
cities of Galveston and Houston at
round trip rates for those who desire to
see the orchards.

This college slogan announces the
appearance of the glee, banjo and man
doin clubs from Cornell university,
Ithaca, n. Y. This organization is one
of the strongest in the country, and
their programme both well arranged

their comedian is a decided feature
and results in encore after encore. Mr..
Bissell, the leader, has sweet voice he
has not neglected to cultivate while aD-
sOrbing large quantities of Blackstone.
The name of w. S. Gilbert, banjo
leader, is not unknown to fame, and he
succeeds in plunk-et-ety plunking the
banjo as we'll as his famous nameSake

The secret of the buildings nonco.H-

being done, though his contractors tried
to make him believe it was useless. Mr.
Nixon had boosted that he was going to

Octodey Q, I6es.

Merchants of Honolulu have
waited the arrival of the Plug
er with the same anxiety as
the Victorians will scan the
horizon for the masts of the
Miowera. The absence of
cable delays the transmitting
of accounts of the disaster.
Had the Pfuger gone down
between Bremen and HonOlu-
lu, the loss to the merchants
ana people who are interested
in ranches in the Hawaiian
Islands would have been meal
culable. Last week there was
practically Il wire famine in
this country, today there is a
feast and we have it spread all
over one of our warehouses.
The thousands of coils of black
and galvanized wire which
we have just received will re-
lieve the market and the
managers orowners of ranches
on the islands can go ahead
with their fencing as before.
We have turned over the
building of fences during the
past few months, by the intro
duction of Il patent locked
fence. The materials for MAX
ing it is sold by US with yplain
every day wire. By the use of
these patented arrangements
q man can construct a strong
er fence for less money than
by the old fashioned methods.
Practically you dispense with
constantly rottingposts; where
in the old style you set posts
five or ten feet apart, by the
new way you place them fifty
and have Il fence so strong
that it will resist the attacks
of d whole herd of cattle. In
the matter of repairs to old
fences, one man can take ma
terials enough on his horse to
put miles OF it in good order.
For the past three months, not
a week has gone by without
our receiving orders from ma
nagers of plantations for this
style fence. The popularity is
growing and we are sole agents
on these islands.

Nh. CLAUS SPREcKELs:
You make certain statements anC
ask certain questions in the Wash
ington Post of even date herewith
and do me the honor of asking re
ply thereto.
1t gives me pleasure to furnish yor
with the information requested.
For the sake of defniteness l separ
ate your questions and reply to them
categorically.
Mr.. sPREcKELs' FIRST QUESTION.
First. Referring to an interview
with myself IN the Post of the 18th
you say:
Mr.. Thurston says that on August
2Sd, 1898, there were in the treasury
of the Provisional government $780,
600. l would like Mr.. Thurston to
explain from what source the Pro-
visional government got this money.
In reply, would say that by Ha-
waiian law current government ex-
penses are paid exclusively from
current revenue. Certain public
works, specified by the legislature,
are constructed from loan funds, OBJ
tanned through the postal bank OR
from the sale of bonds. If loan funds
are not Immediately available, cur
rent revenue is used on the specified
works until loan funds are available,
when the current revenue is REIN
bursed.
With the exception of such REIN
bursements, which properly belong
in the general revenue fund, the bal
ance in the treasury consists exclu
sively of the surplus Of current reve
nue. over and above current expenses.
The Provisional government has
adopted the policy, heretofore I'M
known in Hawaii, of publishing each
week a detailed account of its re-
ceipts and expenditures. The cur
rent receipts are divided into about
twenty heads, of which the principal
are interior department, licenses,
rents, etc, customs, fines, water
works, markets, post Office, taxes,
revenue stamps, electric light, etc.
The fullest details, showing the
amounts collected under each head,
and the details of all expenditures
are published each week in at least
four Honolulu papers.
The following statement of the
treasury current revenue balance
shows that the growth of the surplus
has not been spasmodic, but normal
and continuous:
May 10, Treasury current re-
venue surplus .....................S %, $50
June 3, Treasury current re-
venue surplus ..................... 69,S02
June 2S, Treasury current re-
venue surplus ,..............,..... 78,2O6
July 26, Treasury current re-
venue surplus ..................... 90,246

venue surplus .................... 114,515

revenue surplus......... ........ 100, l03
August %, Treasury current
revenue surplus. ......... 1890. 150,O61
August 80, Treasury current
revenue surplus. ......... ......... ISL, 197
In addition to the above surplus of
current funds in the treasury there
are other special funds available for
specific purposes, making the actual
cash in the treasury Oh August 80

During the past few months you
hava constantly denounced the

know that you we're told by pro-
minent planters that there was some
thing to live for in this world besides
money, and that although annexation
meant a reduction in the profits of
sugar, they could still live and that
they preferred annexation, peace,
quiet, and stability with less money
to an increased income and con-
tinuance of the strife and uncertainty
of independent government.
I know, and you know, and the
Hawaiian planters know, and the
people of the United States know,
that there is as much probability of
Hawaiian planters receiving 2 cents
a pound bounty on their sugar as
there is of the traditional rich man
entering the kingdom of heaven, and
when you say that the hope of OBJ.
tanning the bounty is the reason for
seeking annexation you Islander their
intellects as we'll as misrepresent
their motives.
/ know that you look upon Hawaii
simply as a fit place for few rich
planters and a horde of ignorant
serfs. 1 know that those who are
seeking annexation look forward to
the development under the broad
principles of American liberty of an
Anglo-Saxon community in Hawaii
dwelling in peace and harmony with
the native inhabitants, which shall
form no unworthy part of the union.
The issue between you and the
Provisional government is one of
dollars and cents against flesh and
blood. The flesh and blood is from
the same stock that successfully
established liberty in America, and
it will establish it in Hawaii.
1t will give me pleasure to furnish
you with any further information
within my power.
