CALIFoRSIA WINE PRODUCERS.
They Send an UItimatum 10 the
Hawaiian Legislature.

They Send an UItimatum TO the
Hawaiian Legislature.
There is much agitation among
local wine men over the news that
the Hawaiian Legislature, now in
session, proposes to place a pro-
hibitory duty on California wines,
says the San Francisco Chronicle
of March 10. Last fall they had
an intimation that such a course
was to be taken, and prepared for
agitation at Washington for re-
taliation, but promises were made
which induced them to remain
quiet. Now, however, informa-
ton has reached them which loads
them to believe they have been
duped, and the steamer which
sails today for Honolulu will carry
a demand for an immediate ex-
PLANTATION with threat Of attack
on the Sandwich island sugar in
dustry if the reply be not salts
factory.
Under the present Hawaiian
tariff California wine is charged
Is cents gallon duty. 1t is now
proposed to increase this to 30
cents gallon on all wine of less
than IA per cent alcohol and to
so cents a gallon ON all wine
above that alcoholic strength. AS
nearly all of the wines sent from
here are sweet, containing about
20 per cent of alcohol, they would
have to pay a duty of so cents a
gallon. The viticulturists of
California have had great diff
Guilty in resisting the inroads Of
japanese sake, which pays only
Is cents duty, and realize that if
the proposed increase of over 200
per cent is added to their prod
uct it will be driven from the Ha-
waiian market and the sweet wine
trade be effectually destroyed.
The warning has been given
that il this is carried out the peo-
pie of California will not rest un-
til they have secured the abroga-
ton of the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty, whereby Sandwich island
sugars are benefited several mil
lion dollars annually, while the
United States and California, it is
asserted, gain nothing in return,
The wine men say they were led
to believe that California wines
would be placed on the free list
but if they are to be cut off entire
ly bitter fight against the re.
ciprocity treaty will be commenced
in Washington and conducted to
the bitter end.

immigration Convention.

Governor Mcconnell has issued Il
call for an immigration convention, to
meet at Boise on April 2.
The object is to perfect a state or
ganization to encourage immigration.
Each county is entitled to five del
egates, which the governor will appoint
at the suggestion of the people OF
those counties.
The governors of adjoining states
will be asked to send five debates
each.
Each incorporated town in the
state is entitled to one delegate dis
tnct from county delegates, and
editors are made honorary members
Papers and addresses on the sub
ject are expected, and altogether il
is good move.
No organized effort has yet beer
made to get desirable immigration
for Idaho, and from results obtained
in other states by this means, it is tC
be conjectured that a great deal o
good can be accomplished.

Several small cases of sickness

The report that child of Gerry

apprehensions among the matrons of

number of the scholars remained out

mildest form, however, and carried
none of the elements of contaeion.
There will be no reason for suspend
inc school unless some new cases
develop. But as there has been
plenty of time for this to occur, there
is little likelihood of anything of the
sort.
