Illustrated descriptive article. Mr..
Heintz's mission was to introduce by
drocyanic acid gas fumigation for the
destruction of the injurious insects
infesting the orchards gardens, and
plantations on the Islands, in which
he was successful. The Hon. Joseph
Marsden, the Commissioner of Agricul
ture, being favorably impressed with
it's effectiveness, is going to fumigate
all the plants, ferns, palms, shrubs,
etc, which leave the Islands for the
United States. This will be most sat
isfactory to the quarantine Office in
San Francisco; and if Mr.. Marsden will
attach his certificate of fumigation on
all plants and trees shipped to this
country, they will be passed by the
quarantine office. Thus all former eX-
listing difficulties will thereby be re-
moved
Mr.. Heintz left San Francisco on Sep
TENDER 18th, arriving in Honolulu on
the 23d of that month. His reception
and treatment on the part of the Off
Gals of the Hawaiian Department of
Agriculture, hOrticulturists, planters,
and the press was all that could be de
sired. every courtesy and attention be
ing extended to facilitate demOnstTa-
tons as to the effectiveness of hydro
cyanic acid gas fumigatiOn as a means
of eradicating and suppressing inJur-
iOus scale insects injecting the plan
tations and orchards on the Islands,
and especially the economic and or
namental tropical plants, such as ferns,

Plot To overthrow Inytinn Govern
ment Discovered
NEW YORK, Oct. 29th.-The Suns
Kingston correspondence of October
22d says: Private advices received here
today from Port-au-Prince, Hayti, re-
port the discovery at Au-Caques of
conspiracy to overthrow the Govern
ment. Most of the exiles who recent
ly returned to Hayti are implicated,
and so are many of the Government Of
ficials.
The plans of the plotters had been
carefully concealed, and it was only by
the merest chance that the Police De-
partment obtained clew. The recent
outbreaks of incendiarism are attrib-
uted TO these would-be revolutionists.
NJ Bonzey, Director of Customs at the
port of Au?Caques, has been arrested,
and many other minor Government Of
ficiaIs have been lodged in prison, sus-
pected of completely.

The Spanish authorities i'm Havana
are greatly disturbed because several
thousand insurgents from Gomez's

So serious does Weyler consider the
situation that he has withdrawn 5000
troops from Pinar del Rio and dis
patches them into MatanZas to stay the
advance.
During the seige and subsequent cap
ture of Guayamara city by the insur-
gents the Spaniards lost 260 killed and
wounded. Three hundred and seven
~ Spaniards surrendered to Calixto

force. Garcia sent word to General
Castellanos that they would be ex-
changed for Cubans held by the Span

and don't need it, and that to carry on
our own Government and take advan-
tage of the Reciprocity Treaty is an
ideal condition, seem to reason upon
very strange grounds. They seem to
forget the lesson of 1889, when McKin-
ley's tariff bill went into operation,
when reciprocity treaties with sugar
countries virtually took away the ben
efits of the Hawaiian Treaty, and when
the bonus paid to sugar planters in the
United States threatened to take away
the demand for our crop. Do they
consider if Hawaii indicates that it no
longer desires annexation, the very
next step probably would be the abro-
cation of the Reciprocity Treaty, with
a suggestion that Hawaii continue to
care of itself.
l might add much to this of the 9TH
err advantages to Hawaii of anneXa-
ton, but have already trespassed upon
your space, and will leave unsaid the
many things which might properly be
urged about the relief from anxiety
the changes in the tariff
laws of the United States, duties on
what we export there, such as canned
ETC., and the fact that if
Hawaii is a part of the United States,
any bonuses to be paid under McKin-
ley's next law to sugar growers will
apply to all of it's citizens, wherever
they are. w. r. CASTLE.

A CASE OF SNUB
President Cleveland Scores Another
Failure.
1T WAS SAMOA THIS Time
Williams Working for
Cuban Freedom.
Politics in New York State-Pro-
liabilities of Extra
Session.
1T WAS SAMOA THIS TIME

NEW YORK, November 8.-The Tri-
bune Washington special says: The
Administration has again ventured in
the troublous sea of diplomacy and
met with disaster AS in former cases,
notably that of Hawaii, it endeavored
to bring about a radical change in the
countrys foreign obligations. This
time the effort was directed toward
Samoan affairs. The President sought
through the State Department relief
from the rights and duties imposed
upon the country under the Berlin
treaty. His intention was to give up
the many advantages that accrue to the
United States in pursuance of the terms
of that act in return for relief from
the numerous responsibilities and con-
sequent petty expenses and annoyan-
ces that devolve upon the country as a
result of such benefits.
Stated in a word, the President,
speaking through Secretary Olney, has
proposed to Germany that the Berlin
treaty be abrogated on the ground that
the provisions of the agreement i'm
posed conditions unsatisfactory to the
United States. Germany's reply to the
proposal has been received at the State
Department. To the CONSERVATION of
the authorities it merely acknowledged
the receipt of Secretary Olney's note.
The story of this, the latest Admins
trative blunder-fOr such it will be
regarded by every one who is familiar
with the Samoan situations inter-
~
we'll known, persistently endeaVOred
to free his administration from the OBJ
legations of the Berlin treaty. His
efforts in this direction may be said
to have begun in 1888 In his message
TO Congress in December of that year
he announced that King Malietoa offer
ed to place Samoa under the protection
of the United States, that the American
Consul assumed to grant it, but that
the proceedings were disavowed under
instructions from Washington and the
offending Consul recalled.
It was not until recently that the
President decided to take the matter in
his own hands and endeavor to secure
release for the Government from the
tripartite agreement. He will, of
course, be criticised for his course by
Congress. 1t is said by his apologists
that he regarded the situation as call
ing for immediate action. The Senate
will undoubtedly say no to this.
Germany's reply must have been
highly Notifying to the Administra-
ton. Mr.. Olney's note was under con-
sideratiOn at the Berlin Foreign Office
for more than a week. The answer
was exceedingly brief 1t was merely
an acknowledgment of receipt of the
O. &
State of the United States. It did not
say yea or nay about the proposition
TO abrogate the treaty of Berlin. 1t
only said that a suggestion to this
effect had been received There the
subject was dropped and from the date
of the reply to the present time no
word of apology explanation or hope
has been received by the State Depart
ment from Berlin.

WASHINGTON, Cd. c., Nov. 9.-It
may be accepted that an extra
session of the Fifty-fifth Congress will
be assembled as soon as possible after
Mr.. Mckinley enters the White House.
The first thing to be taken up at this
special session will be a preliminary
adjustment of the financial question
and in the adjustment silver viii be
made use of. The probable plan Will
be to start with the gradual retirement
of the greenbacks. These greenbacks,
it is thought may be redeemed in gold,
without the issuance of bonds, the re-
tirement being gradual. 1t is not con-
templated that at this time, there will
be any expansion of the bank note
currency, but as far as it can be ac-
complished with safety, instead Of the
reissue of greenbacks, after redemp-
zion they will be replaced by the is
suance of silver obtained by a limited
purchase.
The extent to which this purchase of
silver is gone into will depend upon the
prospects at the time of international
bimetallism. This temporary eXpedi-
ent will probably be coupled with
provision for d monetary commission
of a permanent character that will be
authorized to work toward the end OF
an international agreement until some
thing is accomplished. The commits
sions heretofore have been appointed
to attend some particular conference
and their efforts have ended with the
failure of that conference. This, in
general way, outlines the plan that is
expected to be followed.
The tariff question is to be taken up
next in order. 1t is not intended, as
many think probable, that there Will
be any effort made to patch up the
Wilson-Gorman bill. The purpose Will
be to make an entirely new tariff Dill
drawn on strictly protection lines. This
bill will be drawn with the delibera-
ton necessary to the production OF a
scientific measure. The hope will be
entertained that pending the adoption
of this measure such progress Will be
made in negotiations as to insure an
international agreement on the coinage
