The Brazilian government discourages
the sending out of their country the
seed, as they fear the same result as that
obtained from the English cultivating
the cinchona, or Peruvian bark, in India
from where the worlds supply of quiz

the obstacles, rubber will be cultivated
outside of Brazil, because of the reckless
methods of the army of marauding ma.

ing it's once rich forests and killing the

must and will have rubber. Unlike
oranges and pineapples, it is prime ne

only produced in limited area.
On account of my residence in the

forests, canoeing on the Alto, or upper
Amazon, in Bolivia and Peru, know

1t is necessary to personally oversee the
gathering and shipment. In fact, as
with the customs of the people and the

A few years ago I crossed the Cont

by ascending the Amazon for $500
miles and then canoeing affiuents to
the Cardileras, whence l took mules
across the Andes. | was gone eleven
months from ocean to ocean, during
which | never heard word from my
country and never heard English
spoken. When left it was believed
Mr.. Blaine, my friend, would be nomi-
mated President. When 1 reached the
Pacific Mr.. Cleveland was President and
my friend, Blaine, dead, which rather
upset my plans. propose now to COM
plete the work began then, and return
by canoe voyage of 1000 miles down
the upper Amazon to navigation. 1
shall start In from the Pacific side,
either from near Cuzco, or via Lima, to
the Tambo and Ucayal rivers that lead
1000 miles into the Solimoes or Mara

while on this long and perilous canoe
voyage that will get the nuts and rub
Der by trading with the Indians. I pro.
pose to have them here this fall.

BENEFIT POSTPONED.

Inclement Weather the Cause.
Seats Should Be Reserved.
Owing to the threatening weather
yesterday and last night the bene-
fit performance of Wirth's circus,
in aid of the Kapiolani Maternity
Home and the Young Hawaiians'
Institute, has been postponed to
Thursday evening. Those who
have secured tickets ought to have
them reserved at once, as the pro-
gram is an excellent one and no
one should miss it. The Y. III. L.
Glee Club and Ka waihau Quintette
are practicing hard over some rare
and new songs, and that alone
ought to draw a crowded house for
so deserving an object.
Tickets may be had of the fol-
lowing firms Hebron Drug Co.,
Thomas G. Thrum, Golden Rule
Bazaar, Wall, Nichols q Co., Hart
& Co. and of the various commit
tee, and also at the circus gate.
The Hawaiian comedy to be pre-

will sail for Japan on Monday, SO
don't miss their last and farewell
performance.

THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerv-
Gus system yearn for a building-up
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention to
their physical condition so long that a
long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system Of the impurities ac-
cumulated during the winter season,
to purify the blood and to invigorate
the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't
put it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now. 1t will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behalf Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all form reliable,
grateful people. They tell the story.

American Claims Honor of Finding the
North Pole.

WILMINGTON {DeI.) Feb. "a
Relatives of John M. Verhoeff, the
young mineralogist who accompanied
Peary' on his expedition to the polar
regions in 1892, and who, it has been
supposed, fell down a crevasse aid was
lost, claim he is still alive. and that it
is he, and not Professor Nansen, who
has discovered the north pole.
Verhoeff is a nephew of the Rev
DR.. A. n. Keigwin, pastor of the West
Presby terian Church of this city. DR..
Keigwin claims that his nephew still
lives, and he expects to hear some
news of his great discovery within siX
weeks. According to DR.. Keigwin's
theory, Verhoeff, after his disappear
auce from the Peary expedition in
1892, started to the north and crossed
a strip OF land 1000 miles long and 900
miles wide This land DR.. Keigwin
has designated in bis map as "Ver
hoeff's Land," the southern extremity
of which is about 200 miles from the
farthest northern limit of Siberia.

PROTEST AGAINST COERCION.
Manitoba School Question Is Still a
Live Issue.

Live Issue.
WINNIPEG (Manitoba), Feb. "a
In the Manitob4 Legislature today
Premier Greenway gave notice that
tomorrow be would move the House
go into a committee to enter formal
protest against the threatened coercion
of the Ottawa government in respect
to Roman Catholic parOchial schools.
The Premier declared that the remedi-
al bill at Ottawa was being forced
through without an inquiry into the
facts, and he further declared that the
Manitoba government was willing TO
remedy any that could be shown TO
bear harshly on Roman Catholics. It
is believed that the Premier's motion
paves the way for an announcement
of the result of Sir Donald a. Smiths
mission TO Winnipeg, and everybody
is on the tiptoe of expectation. The
Premier's declaration is taken to mean
that if the Dominion authorities drop
their coercion bill he will undertake
to settle the difficulty himself.

HOT AFTER JAPANESE.
Congress VIII Look Into Oriental Com
petition Seriously.

petition Seriously.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a The
matter of devising some means to
forestall the invasion of American
markets by Japanese manufacturers
promises to become an important one
in the present Congress. The speech
made by Representative Newlands
last Tuesday on this subject created
no little interest, and copies of the
Chronicle containing an extended ex-
posture of the inrOads made by the
Japanese are in great demand. A
strong effort will be made by the
members of the California delegation,
Representative Newlands and Con-
gressmen from other Pacific Coast
States to have Congress pass law
creating a commission to investigate
this important question. Apropos OF
this discussion, Representative john
son today introduced the following
resolution:
Whereas, The invasion of the
manufacturing field of the United
States by goods manufacturedin Japan
is a great and growing menace to the
manufacturing industries of the Unit
ed States, by reason of the fact that,
owing to the cheap labor used In
Japan, II gives japanese manufactures
an undue advantage over American
liza utdCluiSIS anu whereas tulS na1-
ter has been called to the attention of
Congress by petition by the Manufac-
turers and Producers Association of
California and the Chamber of Com
merce of San Francisco, which, after
full investigation and consideration,
have reported that the cheap labor
goods of Japan are rapidly coming
into competition with American
manufactured goods, to the injury of
American manufactures, and have re-
quested Congress to take action in
the matter; therefore be it
sc Resolved, That the Committee on
WAYS and Means be directed to inves
tigate the question of Japanese manu-

HIS VIEWS MISSTATBD.
MAJOR RAYMOND DENIES STATE
MENTS OF THE TRADE LEAGUE.

HE ASKS THAT THE PHiLADEL-
PHIA ORGANIZATIONS REsOLu-
TIONs Biz FURTHER cONsID-
Erred AND AMENDED.
United States Engineer G. w. Ray
mond, In charge of the Delaware river
improvements, says that the resolu-
tions adopted by the Philadelphia
Trades League relative to the placing
behind dikes or on shore Of material
dredged from the river misstates his
position on the matter The league Is
In favor OF having the material placed
on shore, but Major Raymond says:
''ln order to guard against any pos
sible misconceptlOn of my views on
this subject, / will now say that l do
not believe it TO be either expedient
or economical to place the material
dredged from the Delaware river on
shore or behind the dikes, except in
cases provided for I'm the plans OF the
War Department, and this opinion is
not based upon considerations Of cost
alone"
The following extract from one Of
Major Raymonds reports explains his
position:
"The method Of placing dredged ma
tcrial behind dikes has only a limited
/ application. since 1t has been found eX-
/ tremely difficult to make any reason
/ able arrangements with riparian own
ers tor the deposit of material upon
/ their lands. Owners are generally
willing to pay the cost of constructing
the banks or bulkheads necessary to re-
tain the material and not infrequently
they demand compensation for the
privilege of depositing.
I'm the work of improving Philadel-
phia harbor the deposit of about $685.
coo cubic yards of material, above high
water has already been provided for
OF this amount about 3,2S0.00O cubic
yards have been or will be deposited

pense to the government. The remain

will be placed on private property en-
tirely at the expense of the contractors
have given this question very careful
study. and I'm my opinion it will not bt
possible to provide for the deposit Of
much more material above high watel
unless the filling at League Island il
, extended. Such an extension would
however, provide for the disposal o
5 only small portion of the material e
. be removed under the two projects.
1T follows from the above state
s ment that it would have been practi
r. cally impossible to execute the project
for the Improvement of the Dalawar
s river and the harbor of Philadelphia
s in accordance with the plans of the de
patment without depositing larg
? quantities of material in the bed of tn
