The contamination OF the plans
which are now made known for the
first time cannot fail to arouse keen
interest in Great Britain and
throughout Europe. The British
project OF cable starting from Van
couver appears to be ended with the
failure OF the the Senate to SO mod
ify our treaty with Hawaii as to let
the British cable land at Neckar
island.
The only recourse for Great Bri-
tain would be to induce Hawaii to
broak this treaty obligation with the
United States, but it 10 known posi-
lively this will not be done. Instead.
therefore OF British cable across
the Pacific, as has long seemed
imminent, France, Russia, Japan
and Hawaii are now uniting with
American enterprise to execute this
work OF vast commercial and mill
tary Importance.

Milk.

The business OF the country is
settling into its former groove. Our
gentlemanly driver has returned
from his vacation, the cows in the
pasture switch flies instead OF bull
let's with their tails and the cream is
richer in consequence. We believe
we have satisfied every one OF our
customers who have taken milk from
us and we are in position to sup
ply great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks
have had an opportunity to see just
what sort OF diet our stock feeds
upon, and no longer wonder at the
richness of the milk from our dairy
Our facilities for delivery are the
best. With the exception OF day
or two early in the late unpleasant
ness our drivers hav. always been
on time at our customers residences.
We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with us
and to solicit a continuance of their
patronage. We will be pleased to
fill all orders telephoned to us and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.

THE HIRAM BINGHAM
Return of the Missionary Schooner

Return of the Missionary Schooner
to San francisco.
The little missionary schooner Hi.
ram Bingham arrived yesterday
from the Marshall islands, in the
South seas. With the exception of
Captain Walkup no one on board
could speak a word OF English, the
crew being composed entirely OF ma
tives OF the islands. The schooner
was built in this city. nearly two
years ago and the expedition just
ended was her maiden voyage, she
having remained at the islands ever
since her departure. When the Hi
ram Bingham left here she carried a
number of Boston missionaries, who
had been assigned to the mission at
Jaluit, located on one OF the Mar
shall group. Captain Walkup re-
ports that all OF them are doing
we'll, and that the good work among
the natives is meeting with unusual
success. After taking on a quantity
OF supplies needed at the missions

Timely Topics
March II, 1906.

Is Hawaii to be without a
cable through the action of the
United State Congress, or will
the people here awake from
their sleepy ideas and tell I'm
Gle Sam to do something or
let England have Necker Island
and 60 ahead with the work.
Hawaii is as much in need of a
cable as any place on the globe
and other governments need
the cable to Hawaii as much as
we do. Why then should the
government that feels a fatherly
interest in a country stand in
the way of its development.
Suppose the manufacturers
of the Avery Plantation lmple-
.mentS would refuse to send
them to this country would it
be considered a square deal?
The planters on Hawaii who
are using these different impIe-
ments are well satisfied with
them and are willing to recon-
mend them to other managers.
They are coming more and more
into general use; in another
year there will not be a planta-
ton on the Islands that will
not use them. The following
letters from such prominent
managers should be convinc-
ing proof of their superiority:

DEAR SIR.-The Onomea Sugar
Company has now in use three OF

think these machines are indis-
pensable for the proper cultivation
Of rattoons.
We have never had an implement
that would 80 thoroughly loosen the
earth around the stools, and put the
soil in such condition that the air,
moisture and fertilizer would so
readily find access to the fine roots
Of the cane and the soil around
them.
l am glad to testify to the merits
of these tools. The Sugar Land
Disc Cultivators arrived too late for
much use in the cultivation Of the
last young plant and rattoons, but
believe they will prove to be very
useful and labor-saving implements
in districts where cane is raised
without irrigation.
Yours truly,
WIN. w. GooDALE,
Manager Onomea Sugar Company.

we'll see what we can do about getting
the schooner into water again.
Do you mean to tell me that I've
got to wait here for two days and more q
says Jim. I'll do nothing of the kind.
You get your blasted schooner out of
the way. or I'll make kindling wood Of
her.
Considering that I'm at anchor with
a proper light displayed replied the
man, it's your business to keep clear of
me, and I've no concern about it. That's
the law OF the road, and if you don't be-
lieve me, come aboard and I'll show it
to you.:
well, the captain stuck to it that in
case of anything running into him while
at anchor he'd collect big damages;
and Jim kept on talking sharper and
sharper, and getting madden and mad
der all the time.
If you want the schooner moved
tonight you'll have to do it yourself, ,
says the captain, for you can see that
I'm short-handed, even if I wanted to
accommodate you, which I'm free to
say I don't
Jim. and that's what cal'late to do.

with my big engine and heavy train
of thirty-nine loaded cars we'd go

she was made of wrapping paper
Ibid you ever have a collision with
a schooner? asked the captain.
"'No, 1 never did, says Jim. But
it's about the only thing haven't run
into in my time. I've run into brick
house, owing to getting off the track
with that identical engine and smashed
the whole concern into smithereens
without turning hair of the machine.

chance against my train than yaller
dog would have with Bengal tiger

THE ARMY or TRAMPs.


A Failure In Oar System Of Correction ana
Raformnt1om.
There can be no doubt that the
tramp Is, in certain sense, the maker
and chooser of his own career. The
writer's experiences with these va
grants has convinced him that. though
they are almost always the victims Of
liquor and laziness, fully four-f1fths Of
Americas voluntary beggars have be-
gun their wide and restless ways while
still in their teens, and have been fur-
thered In their wrong tendencies by
unwise treatment applied to them
when young.
Year after year, even month after
month. trampdom Is increased by
squads OF youths who will soon take
and hold the places Of their ell
ders. who will naturally drop
away with the years These boy
ish roadsters are more often
illegitimate than lawful children.
and consequently proper subjects for
state care and guardianship. And the
fact that every tramp In the United
States has spent scme psrt Of his youth

the schooner. What, between the insur-
ance and the damages, 1 cal'late that
this'n prove to be the best voyage I've
made this year, for, to tell the truth, I
didn't have any expectation that the

A kLEPToMANIAc DUCHESS.
Speculation Rife in England a. to Her
Identity.

Speculation Rife in England ~ to Her
Identity.
Speculation is rife in London as to
the identity of the English duchess
who, according to the annual police
reports of the French government just
published, has been arrested during
the last twelve months in one of the
great Partisan emporiums for shoplift-
ing. quantities of stolen articles being
discovered about her person.
Her grace was subjected to the in
dignity of arrest and search by the po-
lice and to the even still more intolera-
BILE ignominy of detention for forty
eight hours at the depot. or central po-
lice station, among the crowds of
drunk and-disorderlies and criminals
of every description who are assembled
there previous to being brought before
the magistrates.
The duchess was with great difficulty
extricated from this disagreeable sit
uation through the Intervention of
Lord Dufferin, the British ambassador,
and only after the payment of a fine of
ten thousand dollars, which has been
devoted to the relief of the Partisan
poor.
The Partisan police, with the gal
lantry that belongs to their race, have
had the commendable consideration to
abstain from mentioning her grace's
name in their published report. I'm
fortunately. however, the number of
English duchesses is exceedingly small.
There are not more than twenty of
them altogether. and they are such
important personages that their migra-
ton to and fro on the continent are
considered worthy of mention in the
newspapers. English and foreign.
Now there are only a few of the
neutrality-suspicious. ladies who
year, hence there are about three
among whom the titled shoplifter
must be.
People are inclined to ascribe the
identity of the kleptomaniac duchess
to lady twice widowed, commoner
by birth, but married into ducal
house.
1t is well known that last year some
thing happened which suddenly caused
this until then frivolous lady. to en-
tirely change her mode of life and to
become very penitent, her DAYS now
being spent in fasting, prayer and in
the endeavor to do good to the poor.
Moreover. she has abandoned Paris,
once her favorite residence. Presum-
ably it was the arrest and forty-eight
hours in the police depot that effected
this radical transformation
Yet her grace may console herself
with the knowledge that she is by no
means the only lady of rank afflicted
with kleptomania or who has been ar
rested while engaged in shoplifting.
The daughter of . reignin2 primes in
Germany and some Russian princesses

state of Illinois had busted at the same
minute, and then the freight cars be-
gan to grind against one another and
to climb on the top of one another. and
the splinters and the gravel began to
fly. and Jim saw that there had been .
miscalculation about that collision.
What had happened" continued the
station master, pausing for a moment
to throw potato at the dog. who had
