MAKING DIPLOMACY PAY.
John w. Foster the Most Talked of Man
In Washington.

In Washington.
John W. Foster is now the most talked
about man in Washington. He is looked
upon rs the most successful diplOmatist
this country has produced in generations.
The rule is that when an American is at
tracted to the field of diplomacy he must
have a fat bank account behind him and a
willingness to part with good many Of
his hard earned dollars for the glory Of
wearing title.
Mr.. Foster on the other hand, has made
diplomacy pay. He has grown rich in the
profession. For 10 or 12 years he has en-
joyed an income estimated as averaging
$50, 900 year and now his success rs dip
lomatic adviser to the China peace com.
mission has brought him in a small for
tune. Some wild estimates have been
made rs to the amount of Mr.. Fosters
honorarium from the Chinese government.
Figures as high as $3.50, 600 have been
named, but l have trustworthy informa-
ton that the actual sum is considerably
within 500, 600. Probably it is $50, 600 or
$50, 600 in gold, but in addition to this
Mr.. Foster will receive valuable presents
and decoration from the emperor.
1 asked Mr.. Foster if he would satisfy
natural public curiosity concerning the re-
ward for his services, and he replied: "It
is not necessary the public should know
whether l received S. 900, $50, 600 or $780,
600. Reports of such things are always
greatly exaggerated. 1t is enough for me
to say that the Chinese government treated
me with great libcrality. "-Washington

IL 1T had not been for the eX-
cellent quality of coffee pro-
duced in Kona, it is not likely
that foreigners would have
been induced to invest their
capital in lands in that district
nor would the building of a
telephone line, such as the new
company proposes to construct,
have had an existence even on
paper. It's the fact that the
locality produced in a small
way and in the most primitive
manner an article which
caught the fancy of "canooz-
ers" in the matter of coffee ;
they wanted more and they
were willing to pay a good
price, but there were no means
of getting it. Investigation
demonstrated that the land
would produce an unlimited
quantity, but the people in the
vicinity had not given the pro-
per attention to the cultiva-
ton, you all know the result,
foreign capital came in and is
coming every day, and before
another decade the production
of coffee will be a leading in
dustry of the islands and the
machinery used in pulping,
cleaning andputting it through
the various processes necessary
to make it marketable will
come through us. And why9
Because we are interested in
the coffee business; we know
what is wanted and we secure
the very latest improvements
in coffee machinery. What is
good enough for one man may
not be good enough for anoth-
er, but ourstock of implements
for the coffee business is good
enough for all. The industry
is still in it's infancy and the
growers do not know them
selves just what they require,
but if they will communicate
with us, we can give them the
necessary information.
The Helen Brewer brought
us what charcoal Irons will be
needed during the next few
