HOW THEY CELEBRATED
FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE HA-

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-The barken-

ing, 1716 days from Honolulu, bringing
papers from the islands to January 10th.
two days later than the advices brought
by the W. G. Irwin. During these two
days nothing of Importance occurred
save the celebration OF the anniversary
Of the provisional government on the
18th, which passed off quietly. The
provisional military turned out and pa
raded the streets in the morning, 800
strong. When the procession reached
the headquarters of the American league
the stars and stripes were raised and
the bands played the Star Spangled
Banner. A meeting was held in the
evening in the palace, which attracted
the largest crowd which ever congre-
gated in Honolulu. Large numbers of
Portuguese marched down the street,
headed by their own band, and joined
the throng in front of the speakers

The celebration of the day was brought

Escondido Times: After over a yesr's
growth of orange trees budded on sour
and sweet stock at the experiment sta
ton, Foreman Lehman made this report
Although there is not much marked
difference between their growths, | am
inclined to think that the sweet stock
has the advantage, though it is year
younger than those budded on the sour
stock. -Four sour and four sweet seed-
lings received from Riverside in 1891
were the same in size and age. They
we're planted aide by side in the same
row, and have been treated exactly
alike. Between these there is a marked
difference in growth. The sweet
stocks are much larger, more vigorous
and have healthier appearance. Thew
also stood the frost better than the sour
stocks did. 1t is not reasonable to be-
lieve that orange stock, or any other
stock, grown in the swamps OF Florida,
would do equally as well as the home
grown sweet seedlings from the arid
lands OF Southern California. Perhaps
with on abundance of water the sour
may outgrow the sweet stock, but the
point here is to get stock that will do
well with the least amount OF water.

The Vote ON the Federal Elections Bi
Postponed.

The Vote ON the Federal Elections Bill
Postponed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The senate did
not come to vote on the federal cleo
tions bill today az anticipated. Several
senators who had not hitherto spoken
desired an opportunity to be heard, and
by general consent the time for general
debate was extended till 5 O'Clock to-
morrow.
The chief event OF the day was
speech bv Frye defending the official
course and character of Chief Superyisor
Davenport of New York city aud refnt-
ing the alleged sanders and calumny
which he said had been heaped upon
him by the Democratic party for 20
years. Speeches were also made BY
Harris, Daniel, Turpie and Perkins.
When the bill repeating the federal
election laws was taken up, Hawley OF
Connecticut spoke in opposition.
Everybody knows that this bill il to
paHs," said he. SIN fact, Immediately
after the triumph of the Democratic
party at the polls at the laet election, it
was known this law would be repealed.

There are two schools of opposite ex-
tremes in regard to pruning, says
Meehap's Monthly. One is not to
neglect to cut and slash on every occa-
sion; to use their own motto, when
ever the pruning knife is sharp" and
the other would cut not at all, but leave
everything to nature. In the manage
ment of an apple orchard pruning is
essential; all the weak shoots, those
which seem to suffer from oyerbearing,
or from any other cause, should
be carefully cut out every year
and moreover, wherever the branches
are likely to be thick and struggle with
each other for light they also should be
thinned. A perfectly healthy apple
tree should be so managed with the
pruning knife that every branch should
have a fair chance to have its leaves
fairly well exposed to the light. A
large quantity OF hali-shaded and half
starved leaves on tree is not nearly so
beneficial as when the tree has chance
for the full development OF every Leaf
and what is true of the apple orchard
is true OF all other trees in the hands OF
the cultivator. When we come to Tor
estry culture it is impossible to do with
out pruning, II we would have first'class
timber-but that is another question.
Our point was to refer chiefly to the
management Of fruit trees.

for a hundred years. Even the pream-
BILE of the constitution le sumclens 10
indicate that the power TO make lave
for the regulation OF congressional cleo
tons is vested in congress"
Hawley quoted the sections OF the
constitution providing for the election
OF members OF congress, and Haid
"Thers can be nothing palmer than
this. James Madison, one OF the great
est expoundera Of the constitution, said
this power in the national government
was necessary in order to prevent its
own dissolution. He said this power
was necessary in order to perpetuate the
national government"
Perkins rep. of California spoke in
opposition to the bill. No adequate
reason had been given for the repeal oil
that it had deprived single citizen oil
the right or opportunity to vote.
Daniel (Deni.) of Virginia said the
people. by candidates and platform, APP
pealed to the tribunal of the people and
the decree had come that it should be
repealed.
Frye followed and quoted from q Vir-
GINA Democratic paper to show that
WuOtcrdlo ITdUUb uhu U0dA CDntIAAb-
ted in Virginia recently. Frye defended
the character of John l. Davenport,
chief supervisor of elections in New
York. II have the greatest respect for
him." said he. ''He is fearless and
has shown fidelity in offics that is rarely
seen."
Turpie replied briefly to Frye and re-
iterated his charge against the character
Of men appointed by Davenport. In
Indiana, appointed deputy marshals
were men who had lost sn eye or an arm
or finger; who had lost eyes in at
tempting to force open windows and
b=rglarize houses; who hid lost arms
and fingers on steel traps. and by at
tempted robbery and theft and crime.
Laughter.
Harris (Dem.) of Pennsylvania de-
clares the statements of Chandler few
days ago, in regard TO election frauds in
Memphis. we're unfounded, the courts
having decided that no fraud had been
committed. He was opposed to the fed
eral election law because it was an ex-
ercise OF power never vested in congress
by the constitution of the United States.
Daniel replied to reference made by
Frye in regard to Virginia earlier in the
day, and denied that there had been any
wholesale election frauds in that state.
At the close OF Daniels speech the senate
adjourned.
