Cedar That Talks.

How is it about the cedar bust
ness? The claim of calamity is far
from being sustained. The ship
ments this year give the howlers
the lie, and the fact that active
preparations are being made and
men being hired to cut a large
amount Of cedar in this vicinity
the coming winter is sufficient to
put party tricksters to blush.
Alpena has for years been a good
cedar producing port, and is still do
ing a fair business in that line. The
year 1894 has been the greatest in
the history Of the country in the
cedar market, Notwithstanding the
"dull times" as will be seen by the
following table showing the num-
Der Of pieces Of cedar shipped from
this mort for the mast five seasons.

THE BELGIC ARRIVES.
No One VIII BE Permitted Aboard the
Vessel.

No One VIII he Permitted Aboard the
Vessel.
The Belgic arrived at an early hour
this morning and was anchored out
side by agents of the Board Of Health,
on account of the ship having come
from an infected port.
The Board of Health hada meeting at
$3.50 o'clock to decide whether or not the
vessel should be placed in quarantine.
An examination of her papers showed
that she is twenty-seven days from
Hong Kong and thirteen days from
Yokohama, with 1920 tons OF freight,
seven cabin and thirty-two steerage
passengers for this port None of the
above passengers are from China,
though there are eight through cabin
from Hong Kong.
Accompanying the ships papers is a
voucher from the United States Consul al
Hong Kong stating, among other things
that the plague is practically non-epl
demic there and Is confined strictly tc
the filthy Chinese quarters. The
period of incubation is seven days, anC
the Consul thinks the introduction Of
the plague to the United States is i'm
possible. The health reports at Annoy
Nagasaki and Hiogo, brought by the
Belgic, are very good.
After considerable discussion it wa
decided to let the Belgic d' ok at the p
NJ. wharf, and there put her in quaran
tine. The cabin passengers and officer
will be allowed shore liberty, but thu
steerage passengers will be sent to thu
station'for five days. No one will b,
permitted to go aboard the Belly C whil'
in port except officials If the Govern
ment or of the company. The vesse
will leave tomorrow afternoon or Wed

TEXT OF PRESIDENT DoLE's REPLY
Cheering Words of willis - His Previ-
Gus Action -Hawaiis
Fate Settled.

At IL o'clock this morning United
States Minister Albert S. Willis drove to
the Government Building. He was met
at the door by Major Potter and con-
Quoted to the Presidents room where
the Cabinet was III session. Besides the
President and his Cabinet, Hon. L. A.
Thurston, Hawaiian Minister to the
United States, was present.
When the United States Minister
entered the Executive chamber a hint
of something equal, at least, to gratifica-
ton rested on his face and told plainly
that his mission was more in keeping
with the nature OF things and the rela-
tionship of the two countries most inter.
ested than upon former visit in De.
cember last.
Addressing the President Minister
Willis said:
Mr.. PRESIDENT:
The right of the people of the Hawai-.
ian Islands to establish their own form
of Government has been formally &C
knowledged both by the.Executive and
Legislative departments of the United
States.
1t seemed therefore-so far as l, the
Diplomatic Agent, had the right-to ex
tend recognition to the Republic Of
Hawaii. it having been created under
the forms of law and existing without
effective opposition.
The action thus taken has, am glad
to state, been fully approved by the
proper authorities at Washington. A,
the highest evidence of that fact have
received an autograph letter from the
President of the United States addressed
to you, az the President of this Republic
In delivering this letter, as instructed
permit me to join in its friendly senti
ments and to express the hope that
through the Government now inaugu
rated, peace, prosperity and happiness
will be secured to all the people OF thes'
Islands.
The letter from President CLEVELAND
is as follows:

nothing like so much as will be forth

risk on British-oyned cargoes in japanese
vessels now due at Japan from Bombay,
also on voyages under the japanese flag
from other ports in India, China, etc,
has been covered at two per cent. Sew
eral British steamers trading to China
and Japan have been covered against the
war risk at los per cent. for the twelve
months. Some japanese owned steamers
have been covered at I0s per cent. for
the year. The cargo (coal-contrabrand

more, about leaving Cardiff for Shang-
hal, has been insured at five guineas per
cent. including war risk. As the ordin-
AIRY premium is about one per cent. this
leaves about four per cent. for the war
risk.

called. 1t occurs only on trees and
bushes. Theory: The discovers were
fearful of being accused of drawing the
long bow if they told it all at once.
They showed the wondrously beautiful
shells and said they found them on the
hills, intending later to confess that
they were taken from branches to
which they cling tenaciously. These
shells are in pairs, superbly marked and
there are often twenty on single tree or
shrub. They are now worth as high as 3D.
so pair. But the half has not been told.
These shells move up and down the
trunks and limbs and sing when the
wind blows. The sound is melodious
rather than musical. The tune is not
always perfect. The Travelled hearer,
amazed, almost incredulous, listens un-
til he is able to credit his senses. There
he begins to think, to discriminate, and
finally to all but dream. So sweet, en-
trancing is this music that one is under
the spell that conquers and masters the
auditors of a violin prince. With the &C
compartment of the breezes through hill
and dale and forest and brush, it is like
an opera in fairy land. And this is
without price.
Somewhere between Waimanalo and
Kaneohe there is a talking stone, but
the writer has not yet visited that,
hence cannot offer an authentic account
of it. ED. T.
