last mail shows that N. B. Breckenridge
is dancing a pretty jig at the expense
OF the unsuspecting public:
Lima, Ohio, May 19, 90.
Dear Sir:-I beg to ask you few
questions regarding one n. B. Braken-
ridge, who represented himself to be a
very wealthy land owner and a rice
grower, who lived in your city. He
came here in February and represented
that he was a member of your Congress
and was one of the founders of the Re
public, and had a certificate of allegi-
ance that he was bound by solemn oath
to your Government, which certificate
was No. 81.
He said he owned $40 acres of land
few miles from Honolulu, and that
that was all one person was allowed to
own, and he wanted persons to let him
use their names, and that he would en-
ter land in their names, and that in 1898
they would divide, and he would then
ask that they would deed him three
fourths of the land and they keep one
fourth for the use of their names.
"He took down several names on
these bases, and finally he gained the
confidence of two men of this city, who
advanced him $400, and then at the
end of the time they would keep one
half of the land and deed him the other
half. He gave a lecture here to a Sun
day school on the beauty of the Islands,
and wished many people would go
there. And he even offered me ticket
there and return. He also had display
Of diamonds and bought extensive pres
ents and boarded at the very finest ho-
tel while here, and did not seem very
anxious to get people to advance any
money, and even asked Mr. Mayo to
keep his money and send him draft in
q few weeks, and in such a case Mayo
should pay the exchange, but Mayo had
such confidence in him as to give him
$500 in money to pay for the land, and
in six months to pay $500 more.
IN. B. Breckenridge was once engag-
ed in the lumber business here, and
then sold Mayo large orders of lumber.
He also sold a Mr.. Reichelderfer large
orders of lumber and they had great
confidence in him. He obtained $1OO
from man by the name of Trevor, of
this city, who is also very anxious to
know his reputation in his own land.
Can you give me any information of his
whereabouts, as we have not heard
from him since he left this city. and we
are anxious to know whether he is as
he represents himself, and whether or
not he is responsible.
eff you can give me any information
of this fellow I would appreciate it very
much, as he was very smooth and seem
ed very bright, and seemed well ac-
quainted with the country.

MIR. LOEBENsTEIN's OPINION.
Whoops it up on Registration Act
and other Things.

whoops it up on Registration Act
and other Things.
MR.. EDITOR-The main topic of
conversation these days among native
Hawaiians residing in the outer dis
tricts is the Registration Act, or as
they call it, "Kanawai Kakau inoa."
1t is apparent to amy one who is in
close touch with them that there has
been no time since the overthrow of
the monarchy when there has been Wis
ible such a state of restlessness and
anxious inquiry relative to the intent
of this law, this crowning of legisla-
i've folly for which popular indiffer-
ence is mainly responsible. Viewed
from the standpoint of the Hawaiian,
the belief has become current-and
this opinion formed it has been difficult
to free him from-that it cOnceals a
deep-laid scheme, "a koowalewale ia
KOkou i Ke hoohiki ane," which rem
dered into English means "to entice or
deceive us into taking the oath.
Here is a complication at the very
outset which the far-seeing statesmen
who supported this bill did, evidently,
not anticipate. Great credit and praise
should therefore be awarded those

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Senate bill No. Is came up for fur
ther consideration. Senator Baldwin
made a verbal report recommending the
following substitute for Section 13:
From and after the passage of this
Act no further moneys shall be borrow
ed on bonds issued under the provisions
of Chapter 90 of the Laws of 1892, en-
titled An Act to authorize a national
loan and to define the uses to which
the money borrowed shall be applied >
also Act 16 of the Laws of the PrOvis-
ional Government, entitled An Act to
authorize a national loan and the issu-
ance of bonds as security therefor.
The amendment was accepted and the
bill passed the third reading by a
unanimous vote. The roll was called on
Bill No. 19, which passes the refunding
measure in the Senate.
Senator Baldwin made a verbal re-
port on Senate bill "a, the loan bill. The
committee recommended slight changes
in Section l. The amendment was ac-
cepted. A long discussion was held
over an item in Section relating to
expenses of issuing the bonds. The item
finally passed General expense for the
placing of Government loans not to ex-
ceed $25, ,7S0.
Section 2 was passed as a whole, prac-
tically as the original loan Act was
passed by the House. The bill passed
the second reading.
Senators Baldwin and Holstein were
granted leave of absence till the first
of the week
Adjourned.

COFFEE BEST?

LOEBENSTEIN on REGISTRATION
He Doesn't Like Registration Acts and
Tells stories About Samson aud Ills
Strong Right Jawbone-Noah's Arlxs
That Never See Drop of Water.

MIR. Notwithstanding over a
year ago we addressed an inquiry to
the public through your valuable jour
| nal for information as to what any
one had learned respecting the habit.
growth and productiveness OF the So
called Guatemala coffee tree as we
were aware, several had raised coffee
seed which Minister Widemann had
imported from Guatemala, but we got
no response. We were anxious To
learn more about the tree. for the
reason that we had grown a few trees
from the aforementioned seed, and
they had proved so superior in growth
and productiveness to the native
grown tree, under like conditions, we
were not sure their growth and bearing
was not freak. But another year has
rolled away, and they yet maintain
their superiority.
Their first crop at two years from
the nursery averaged one-quarter
pound of clean coffee to the tree. Some
of them produced one pound and some
two pounds to the tree, which thought
a rather phenomenal yield for trees so
stunted ripening their fruit, but they
were not: the native trees by the side
of them, with the same age and care,
produced only a few cherries.
The present crop will yield an aver
age of two pounds, so estimated, of
clean coffee to the tree, while a score
or so will yield three or four pounds
to the tree, while the natives of the
same age will not yield more than one
quarter of a pound; or one-eighth as
much. Many have seen these trees
and know the facts above stated.
The cherries upon the trees were all
set during their third years growth
from the nursery, but they are ripen-
ing the fore part of the fourth year of
their age.
These trees are growing at 1000 feet
elevation, their habit of growth being
the same as the native tree, but more
vigorous and so far better bearers.
Whether the quality Of this coffee
will prove inferior or superior to the
native we are not yet prepared to say,
but as we have read of coffee being
raised in Guatemala that commanded
IS cents per pound at the plantation,
we may hope this is Of that variety,
and may prove to be the coffee tree for
these islands.

judgment entered and grant new
hearing Of the case Of the Northern
Pacific against Leonard Z. Colburn In
order that the United States may have

that the case involved the rights Of

from Montana, where Colhurn claimed
land within the Northern Pacific grant
on settlement made prior Ia the To-
cation of the grant though no filing
had been made. The interior depart.
ment had uniformly held that such
settlement exempted the land from the
operations Of the grant. The supreme
court took the opposite view In the
Colburn case and rendered an opinion
which the land officials say must result
in ousting many settlers from their
homes all through the West " allowed
