HoN. VA q. IRWIN, Honolulu, Ii. L.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours OF Il c
18th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
Iwould beg TO say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and il is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more / see OF
its capabilities, the better pleased l am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that il
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every - hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
TO the three roller mill, which receives ii
without the intervention of any labor,
and az the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is = saving Of four (4) men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
TO regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed TO its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But l find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined uee no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing TO the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the fireA ID
have less difficulty in maintaining uni,
form pressure of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 70
see the machine at work TO fully app O.
ciate its capabilities.
| remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

To THOSE who are familiar with the
history and resources Of China it has
appeared to be very improbable that
Japan would have an uninterrupted
series of victories over the armies of the
Nephew OF the Sun and Uncle of the
Moon. In numbers and resources the
Chinese empire has an illimitable ad-
vantage. In personal physique China
men are away ahead Of the valiant but
diminutive Japanese. Pierre Lott, q
French writer who has written much Of
Japan, and who is in reality an officer
OF the French navy. says that the Japs
are an undersizsd race, and with very
little vitality. few OF them living to fifty.
OF course this physical fsebleness may
be supplemented by superior armaments
and better aptitude for war. but China
could probably stand the assaults OF
Japan for ten years without knowing
that she had received any ssrious in
Jury.

GOV. DOWNEY'S ESTATE.
CLAIMANTS Fer S75O,OO0 OR HALF
THE ESTATE.
A Big Suit About to Be Comm enced by
the Heirs Oft Governors First
Wife-A Remarkable
Document.

A big contest is about to begin over
the disposition of the estate OF ex-Gov-
ernor Downey, decessed.
Some preliminary steps were taken In
the matter yesterday, when W. T. Will
liams filed an answer to notice to pro-
duce the original of very remarkable
document, and said that the litigation
which is about to commence will form
one of the most important cases ever be-
gun in Southern California.
However that may be, the suit is an
interesting one. 1t is an attempt ON the
part OF the heirs OF the first vile OF Gov
ernor Downey to secure half of his i'm.
menee estate, which was recently sp-
praised at nearly $1,000. 900.
These heire are Bernardino, Lsandro,
Frank and r. @. Guirsdo, brothers OF
Maria Jesus Downey, deceased. Governor
Downey's 6rst wife.
Attorney Williams has come into an
eighth interest in the claim BY reason
of having purchased the rights OF Ber.
nardino and Leander Guirsdo, the value
OF which he estimates at 1915, 900.
The manner in which the claim is made
against the estate is romantic in the
highest degree.
The Guirado brothers claim that be-
fore Governor Downsy's death he OBJ
tanned from them quit claim deeds to
any interest they might have in their
sisters interest in his estate. They also
Calm that he executed the following
singular document by which they are
entitled to half the big estate:

r. G. GUIRADo.
Mr.. Williams was asked why the
above had not been produced before,
and he replied that Governor Downey
had only been dead lew months, and
they had 10 monthe in which to file it.
He had been getting ready for the suit.
He also informed the reporter that the
original document had no witness to it
and was lost or destroyed. But he
claimed that he would have no
difficulty in proving it's genuine
ness and in asserting the rights
of his clients to a slice or half the
estate. He said that will was men
toned in the document and that no will
had been found after Governor Downey's
death. He intimated that he believed
one would yet come to light, in which
the rights of his deceased wife's heirs
were protected.
The authenticity Of the document
is questioned by the executor Of tho
estate and attorneys. The suit will un-
doubtedly prove interesting.

Democratic state conventions have been
held in theaters in other Californis
cities, such as that of 1882 at San Jose,
in which Stoneman was nominated, but
San Jose was not . city of three hun
dred thousand people by several re-
moves. But the case in San Francisco
was aggravated by the fact that the
thester was in use during the evenings.
There are plenty OF large halls in San

made the defendant in $40. 900 damage
suit filed today by Samuel A. Brown,
the surviving partner of the irm OF s.

claim they made q contract with Doble
that he should enter horse named
Belle Vara in the various trotting races

Instead of doing this the plaintiffs claim
that Mr.. Doble entered other horses
and did not give the plaintiffs horse an
opportunity to test his speed, thereby
causing great loss to the plain tiffs, who
claim the horse would have won a num-
Der OF valuable purses.

the HERALD published the fact of Mr..

the purpose of enlisting men in the

have reached this Office. requesting to

cruting officer for the purpose of taking
the mikado's shilling. The officers OF
