Electric Power being used rave = the

Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.

Tapan'S First Modern WaZship.
A contemporary notes that the
first armed ship of modern design
owned by the Japanese was an old
American vessel, and Japan's first
Admiral was an American officer.
The ship was the ram Stonewall,
which the United States captured
from the Confederates in 1865 at
Havana, and which was sold to
Japan in 1868, being taken to Yo-
kohama via the Straits of Magellan
by Captain George Brown of the
United States Navy.
The first japanese Admiral was
Walter Grinnell, appointed soon
after that at a salary Of $4,000
per year for three years, while he
was an ensign in the United States
Navy, stationed at Hiogo.
To this we may add that the old
ram lay for many years in Yoke.

(PATENTED UNDER TIE LAWS 90
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the HllO Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3OO3 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by "a in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount OF
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
3 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being 70
to Is per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"

MOrrill's POlloE

"Whst's the matter with Lewelling's
policeP" used to be q common inquiry in
Topeka. Following every burglary,
street fight, discovery Of q joint OF any
other piece OF wickedness, il the psrpe-
traitor or guilty person was not arrested,
the cry Of "Whst's the matter with Lsw-
elling's policeY" would be heard. The
trouble is that there is more big. headed
prejudice existing in Topeka than in
any other town In the state; and the
army of political warts that has accu.
mulsted here during the long years Of
republican rule had an idea that the
police spppointed during Lswelling's
term were entitled to nothing but ridi-
cule.
Last Saturday night, John Lowe o po-
licemsn, brother-in Law Of Chairman
Bonebrake, the present police commis-
sioner, was found in an alley in q
drunken and brulsed.up condition. In
addition to that he had been robbed Of
his star, club and revolver. The stolen
articles which had tesn taken as q
means Of protection, or as q Joke, were
returned to him. He may be removed
temporarily from the force. Other po-
hCemen had a great time looking for
Lowe, e,,Hearing he had been murdered.

10 my mind, have bean established in

my estimation, DO conducted with the
most acrupulous exaCtness and honor.
With respect to the second ground
stated, while Mr.. Chase ia not excused
by the shortcomings Of his predecessors,
yet I deem it but fslr 10 say that the
unlawful punishments referred to are Of

further concur with the other gentle
men Of this committee that it was not
proven that Seth w. Chase Rs warden
willfully, purposely or Intentionally
aided or permitted to be released from
the prison, before the expiration Of the
legal term for which they were commit
ted any convict whatever.
I fiud that on the charge OF payment
of officers for the time which they did
not work, that in q few instances per-
sons were paid, for the loss Of time, the
same ss if they had been present, but
l further find that it was In pursuance
of custom old as the institution prsO-
ticed by former wRrdens and that the
duties Of these abssntees' Offices were
performed by the other officers, friends
of the sbssntees, without the expense
of q single dollar to the state and that
ell these officers are paid by the year
and not by the day. The one criticism
l can suggest on this is that the leglsla-
ture should have been more definite and
sxscting in determining the exact pay Of
officers so as to have left the warden in
no doubt az 10 his measure OF duty.
find that John B. Greever did re-
ceive pay as mine officer for period Of q
few months while performing the duties
of assistant turnkey, it being q position
of inferior pay. It appears, however,
that Gresyer had been long in the peni-
tentiary, a thoroughly efficient officer,
and whom Mr.. Chase found there upon
his entry into the Office Of warden; and
that Mr.. Chase continued him in the
penitentisry az keeper and paid him the
extra pay of the mine officer for the pur-
pose of having the benefit Of his OK.
perienoe and ability as an old and tried
officer Of the institution; but that the
state received his services and they were
worth the sum paid him, part OF which
services were some little duties con-
neOted with the mines, such as letting
the convicts down in the morning into
the mine. I think with the other things,
this conduct is entitled to q criticism,
more for the benefit Of officers to come
hereafter than for the past conduct. l
find that Warden Chase has employed
three members Of his family, one Carrie
Chase, who was on the rolls az keeper,
and who really never performed an hour
Of work as keeper, but was employed as
cashier in his Office, an Office and posi-
tion which has been maintained for
many years prior to Mr.. Chase's taking
his position; that other Wardens have
done this same thing through other
terms with the approval of the board Of
directors; that it was necessary; and
that Mr.. Chase only followed 9 long and
unbroksn custom in employing his
daughter, admitted to be a competent
and worthy person to perform the duties
Of cashier under the name Of "keepsr."
The only suggestion ! make with refer
snce to this charge is that the .legisla-
ture should provide, by law, that the
warden should have ell the assistance
under proper names without any subSor-
fuge, as has long been the custom Of
that institution. I find also in this mat.

the committee that Seth w. Chase hRI
appropriated no state money whatever
10 his own use or in any manner what
ever misappropristsd it; chat the entire
charges Of missppropEiAtiOn Of funds o.
the state are clearly shown by the testi-
mony to be absolutely untrue. / tind
however, that Warden Chase did use
from time 10 time, vegetables, consisting
OF potatoes, apples, berries, lettuce, rad
ishes; that he also used milk from thu
state farm without payment; that it hRl
been the habit Of wRrdens to do this be
fore Mr.. ChRse's term and he fell heir K
this vicious custom ard continued it
that il was q small matter and hardly
justified q criticism upon any Of thes'
Wardens for such conduct. 1t appear
that tho board Of directors sat there
twelve times OK more year, three mem
bers, and that they are expected to b
entertained by the warden in theiI
visits. It 10 about the only place Of en-
tertslnment they would have, and tho
warden would be expected, as q matter
Of courtesy, to extend this hospitality tC
the board. The legislature has known
this from time to time and has not pro
vided for the same, and I do not think
under the circumstances, Mr.. Chase il
deserving Of q criticism upon this CON
duct. I find, further, that when Mr.
Chase took charge Of the penitentiary
no continued the man who weighed tho
beef in his position, and that this man
in sending beat to Mr.. Chase's table, I'M
dervalued and undsrWsighed it for I
period of time, and OF which Mr., Chase
family got the benefit. / find that 81
soon as the warden found this ont thl
man was punished and removed, snG
instead Of Mr.. Chase beng responsible
for q knowledge of this affair, it was il

I cannot concur in the findings Of thI
majority of the committee entirely, Snd
can not conscientiouslY concur In th,
recommendation that the warden Of tn,
penitentisry, s. W. Chase, has beer
proven guilty Of any such conduct tina
would justify his removal. l wish TO say
that my recommendation as q member ol

To THE GovERNoR:-The law under
which this committee has been proceed
ing, appears to contemplate no middle
ground between entire acquittal or en-
tire conviction. A partial establiShment
of charges such as these, carries with it
no partial punishment; it presents no al
ternative but q verdict OF absolute dis
missRl. / consider the charges in part
true, and accordingly recommend the
dismissal Of Warden Chase. I recon-
mend bis dismissal on the grounds of, his
obtaining household Supplies-meat and
vegetables-from the state, ct less than
the true amount Of value; and, secondly,
because OF his having permitted his sub
ordinate to punish cOnVicts by methods,
and to an extent, denounced by Law.
