Of Interest TO Managers of Plan
fatious.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station ? One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
tugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
HOSTS; also furnish light and power for
a radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used caves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY is
now ready to furnish Electric Piants
and Generators of all descriptions at
short notice, and also has on hand 81
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers. and all
Electrical Goods.
All orders will he given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Light
ing and Power Plants; also attention Is
given to House and Marine Wiring.

4 SUBMARINE BOAT.
Signing Of Contract By the Seoro-
tary Of the Navy,

tary ct the Navy.
WASHINGTON, March ga con
tract was signed today by Secretary
Herbe with the John 2. Holland
Torpedo Boat Company for the con-
structlon Of submarine boat for the
use of the navy. The contract,
which may mark radical departure
in naval construction, was signed
only after a thorough consideration
extending through period Of nearly
two weeks on the subject of sub
marine boats and after various plans
for such craft had been examined.
The appropriation for a submarine
torpedo boat was made over two
years ago.
The dimensions of the vessel con-
tracted for are TO be: Length, so
feet; diameter, IL feet; displacement
(total when submerged), 1881 tons.
All parts of the vessel, and the steel
to be used in her construction, are to
be of domestic manufacture. She is
to be completed within twelve months
from date under time penalties. The
contract calls for a speed Of fifteen
knots when the boat is in a light
condition. The Secretary may refuse
to accept the boat if it falls half a
knot an hour below the speed named,
or accept her at reduced price.
The price to be paid for the boat is
fixed at $150,00O.
It is expressly stipulated that the
United States shall have the optional
right to acquire the patent right for
the Holland tVDe of boat the price
to be paid for the rights to be deter
mined by a board of three naval
officers, the option to run until thirty
days after the first session of Con-
gress succeeding the acceptance of
the vessel. This provision is to give
an opportunity to enact legislation
for the acquisition of the patent if
desired.

The Longest Tow on Record.

The Liverpool Journal of Com
MERGE of February 20, says: The
Liverpool Steam Tug Company's
screw tug Blazer leaves the Mersey
today to undertake what is probably
the longest tow on record. The
Blazer is engaged to tow the italian
steamer Colombo from Rio de Janeiro
to Genoa. The Colombo, about three
months ago was towed into Rio with
her shaft broken, and since that time
has been lying in that harbor. She
was bound from Santos to Rio to
load when the accident happened.
The distance from Liverpool to Rio
is, roughly, about 5000 miles, while
from Rio to Genoa is something like
the same distance, SO that both ways
the tug will cover distance Of about
$4,000 miles to perform the task.
The Blazer only recently returned,
after relocating the stranded French
steamer Rhone, and brought her to
Grand Canary. The Colombo, which
is now to be towed, is large steamer
of 1884 tons register, SO that the tow
will be heavy as well as long one.

Shredder
CPATENTED UNDER THE LAWS or
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo 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 3004 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 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-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to 78 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"
H Plans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen
at the Office of

Since 1890. when the ballot re-

foothold in Albany, the system of
voting has been changed 50 often
that only individuals skilled in the

law for voting can tell precisely what
they, and other citizens, are ex-
pec,ed to do and what legal V they
are prohibited from doing. This
year there will be still another add
ton to to the inconvenience. Here
toforc the legal registry of voters has
shown the age and residence of the
applicant, together with the duration
Of his residence in the state, county
and election district, and the date of
his citizen papers. ii he is natur-
allied voter. This year. in addition
there is to be entered as condition

"height, approximate weight, color

The latter designation is probably
meant unusual visible marks, for The

accepted as the most clearly marked
ones upon his visage. The new

deter reporters from registering un

Alexander the Crest.


Alexander the Crest.
Bonapartc was n child Of the Meditcr-
rancan. The light of its sparkling wa
tiers was ever in his eyes, and the fasci-
nation of its ancient civilizations was
never ab-eDt from his dreams of glory.
His proclamations ring with classic al
lrlsions his festivals were adorned with
classic ceremony. In infancy lie had
known Of Genoa, the tyrant Of his is
land, u, strong in the splendid CONNER
cial enterprises which stretched east
ward through the Lcvant and beyond
into the farther orient. In childhood he
had fed his imagination on the histories
of Alexander the Great and his conquest
Of oriental empires In youth he had
thought TO find an open door for his am
bltion VIXEN all Other; seemed closed by
taking service with England to share
rho renown of those wi:c were building
up her eastern empire Disappointed il
this. lie turned with thc same lack OF
success to Rassia. already EnSlaud's II
val or the continent Of Asia.
1t is perfectly comprehensive that
throughout lis early manhood his mind
should have occasionally reverted to the
same ideals. The conqueror of Italy and
Austria might hope to realize them
Was he not master Of the two great
maritime co:nmcnweaiths which had
once shared all eastern trade between
them: England's intrusion upon the
Mediterranean basin was 4 never ceasing
irritation to all the Latin powers. Her
commercial prosperity ard her mastery
of the seas aggravated the evaporation
OF France as threatening even her equali-
ty IL their ancient rivalry. From tho
days of the first crusade all Frenchmen
had felt that leadership il the recon-
struction of Asia belonged to them by
virtue of preoccupaticu. Ardent repub-
licans, moreover, saw Frances mission
incomplete in the liberalizing of the
continent, and the department of marine
under the directory stamped its paper
with the motto. Liberty Of the Seas. !"
Imaginative forces, the revolution
airy system and the national ambition
all combined to create ubiquitous en-
thusiusm for the conquest of the Med
iterranean. To this tho temperament
and training Of Bonaparte were as tho
