Hon WIN. G. IRWIN, Honolulu, h. |.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF Il
10th 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 lard ratoons, and it is giving me the
great, st satisfaction. The more | see OF
its capabilities, the better pleased j am
that put it in, as | am satisfied that IL
will repay the original outlay in short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
sion, etc.
Ii is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane ever % hours with the greatest
ca e, and it could shred much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
| shredded cane in an even uniform iced
| TO the three roller mill, which receives it
| without the Intervention of any labor,
| and "a 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 IL requ red
| to regulate the amount of cane delivered
| by the carrier to the shredder. It has
4
per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration III adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is tax to it's highest limit,
as il 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 use no
more steam than the three roll mili
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more OF II,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemer
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.

parties interested, as it is necessary Il

ciate its capabilities.

disturbances to assume proportions which
they would not had the impression pre-
vailed that the Governor would visit dis

in Chicago was largely due to the weak
ness and demagogy of Mayor Hopkins Had
he made the best disposition Of his large
force and the militia which the Governor
must furnish on call there would have been
comparatively little trouble. The insurrec-
ton was deeper and lasted longer in Cali

Of the Governor was as disgraceful as il
we'll could be. SO shamelessly did he make
known his cowardice and so quickly did
the mob realize and take advantage of it

Oppression of Boston women

There is provocation for Boston women
to rise again and protest against the op-
preston of the tyrant man. The police
commissioners have resolved to use every
effort to check the increasing patronage by
women of liquor saloons. If this were a
part of a mere temperance movement no
fault could be found with it, but since the
police commissioners show no disposition
to check the patronage of saloons by men,
an obvious and unjustifiable discrimination
ic manifested If saloon is a lawful insti-
tuition in Boston, by what right are Boston
women to be prevented from entering or
from satisfying their thirst when there?
Why should they be singled out as objects
