NJ. II. BAUGH VISITS THE COFFEE
LANDS OF HAWAII.
A Favorable Report of the Growing
Industry of the Islauds-Capitalist
Looking for Investment:

Generally speaking, the coffee
throughout the entire Kona side OF
Hawaii is in splendid condition, and
unless there should be a blight of
some kind the present indications are
that there will be larger yield of
both wild and cultivated coffee this
year than ever before"
This is the encouraging report that
w. II. Baugh, representing the big
San Francisco firm of Shilling & Co.,
has to make of the coffee outlook on
Hawaii after inspecting the planta-
tions for the last five or six weeks.
Every coffee planter I met was
counting on big crops this season. 1t
had been thought that the plantations
would suffer on account of the drought
up to May 1st, when generous rains
began to come. During the dry spell
the bean had not been injured a par
ticle.
"The planters are rather jubilant
over the size of the berry which. is
generally larger than ever before
known in that district. This happy
result is attributed to more careful
cultivation and plenty of rain. The
acreage of the coffee plantations is be-
ing rapidly increased"
Mr.. Baugh says that nearly all of
the planters are increasing their acre
age, including McDougall, Mueller,
Clark, Coburn and Horner. Mr.. Nc
putting in machinery which will clean,
polish, assort and prepare their coffee
for market. There are three wealthy
San Francisco men going over the dis
trict now with a view of investing.

ISLAND GIRLS ABROAD.
Miss Daisy Cartwright and Miss Trn-
gard Schaefer Graduate.

On the roster of the graduating
class of '97 of the Hamlin school, San
Francisco, appear the names of two
Honolulu young ladies, Miss Daisy de
Forest Cartwright and Miss Irmgard
Schaefer, who have both completed
their course of study. A very dainty
pamphlet has been received by the
Star, entitled "Epilogue," which con.
tains a number of the class papers,
many of which are of considerable e
merit. Among them is poem by
Miss Daisy Cartwright, entitled
"School Days" which is a very grace
full production. Our island girls
abroad do us as much credit as our
boys.

SOLID FOR Annexation
MCKINLEY AND CABINET AGREED
THAT IT MUST COME.
Senators White and Perkins Talk An
nexation-California Farmers Find
the Islands q Good Market.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Press
says: nj addition to the vigorous
Cuban policy which the President has
independence of the insurgents, he is
said to be contemplating seriously the
annexation of Hawaii
In this purpose the President and
his Cabineet are agreed. The manner
in which the annexation is to be
brought about has not fully been de-
termined, but it is regarded as not at
all improbable that Hawaii will be
part of the United States within a
year. The formalities to be observed
by the Hawaiian Government in seek
ing annexation and by the American
Congress in accepting the responsible
ity cannot be completed much before
that time.
WASHINGTON, June 5. - Gus

outlook, though others interested af-
feet confidence. He has come direct
from the island, and his utterances
are taken to prove what has been eX-
clusively forcasted in the Chronicle.
that the island Government will not
meet compromise half way, but will
fight out attacks on old lines: To
some Senators he met today Spreckels
said Americans in the islands wanted
reciprocity as it now stands, or abro-
cation, and would fight it out on that
line.
Senator White will favor annexa-
ton, as will Senator Perkins. He said
tonight he did not know but there
might be votes enough to hold the
treaty in the bill. He was aware, he
said, that steps to that end would
be taken which might succeed.
Senator Perkins today introduced
in the Senate two petitions from Sar
Joaquin and Alameda farmers asking
a continuance of the treaty as the
islands furnish the foremost market
for farm produce.

SHARK FISHING.

Deputy Sheriff Coney and a party
of friends spent Friday in shark fish
ing off Nawiliioili and made great
catch. One shark captured measured
IA feet s inches in length, four more
over feet, three over feet and five
less than 7 feet. The fishermen had a
very exciting day of it, particularly
when they came to handle the big
shark. They killed an old horse for
bait. So enthusiastic were they over
their success that another expedition
set out Saturday. The boats had not
returned when the Hall left.

NEW FRIEND FOR HAWAII.
Ex-Congressman Horace Davis Strong
for Annexation.


James Hogg, manager for the Sper-
ry Flour Company, whi is guest
at the Hawaiian Hotel, says that just
before he left home a few weeks ago
eX-Congressman Horace Davis, who is
a very influential man in California,
and close to- the Mckinley adminis-
tration, made an abrupt change of
front on the Hawaiin question. Prior
to that time he had opposed annex
alton, almost bitterly.
In Horace Davis Hawaii will find a
powerful supporter. He is today one
of the most influential men in Cali
fornia, not only in politics, but in
business. He has represented his
State in Congress, been President of
the Static University and San Fran
cisco Produce Exchange, and is today
President of the Sperry Flour Com
pany. He has also held many other
high positions. When President Me-
Kinley was making up his Cabinet
Mr.. Davis was favorably mentioned
for the seat afterward given to Judge
McKenna, and much surprise was ex-
pressed that he did not get it, 1t
means something when Horace Davis
comes out strong for annexation.

colonel Buck expressed dsappoint-
ment at not being able to remain over
for a visit to the islands. Had |
been able to come down with Mr..
Sewall," he said, 81 should have re-
mained over for steamer, but / had no
time. The story of my coming here
to study the Japanese question was
all newspaper talk. We have a Minis
competent to handle the situation.
81 do not think" continued the Min
lister, that Congress will take up the
annexation question until next win
ter. My impression is that no change
will be made in Hawaiian sugar in
the tariff bill that will soon be passed
by Congress. Beyond that I can tell
you nothing
Colonel Buck and party were met
on shipboard by Consul General Mills
Minister Sewall awaited them on the
dock, and escorted them in carriages

MAGNETIC TELEPHONE REPLACES
OLD SYSTEM.
Directors of the Mutual Telephone
Company Have Written for Prices
New Keyboard Is Needed.

The Secretary of the Mutual Tele-
phone Company has written to the
United States for prices on 1000 Mag
neto telephones and a new keyboard
When an answer is received the Off
GERS and directors of the company
will hold a meeting to determine
whether or not it would be advisable
to make the improvement.
The telephones now in use are of
the Law system and are many years
behind the times. They lack the
many improvements of the recognized
modern telephone-the Magnetic. A
new patent known as the Mail Express
has just been placed on the market,
but does not seem to meet with unani-
nous favor.
1t is estimated that these contem-
plated changes in the system would
require an expenditure of at least
$4,000. The company has just spent
a sum of money equaling this amount
in putting up new poles and laying
several cables. Such a heavy outlay
of money in one year may cause the
directors to defer all further improve
ments for time, but it is stated that
the present system is in such bad
order that it is not likely that they
will want to delay matters. The key
board at present in use at the central
station is in very poor condition as a
result of the wear and tear it has
been accorded during the past fifteen
years, when the system was first es~
tablished. 1t will soon have to be re-
placed.
The Bell telephone, which is very
similar to the Magnetic, is now in use
in the country districts.
For the past few months complaints
have been numerous about the i'm
perfect working of the telephones
| Superintendent Gillespie asks the sub
scribers to be patient as possible, as
he and gang of fourteen men are
working as rapidly as possible to
remedy the evil. The superintendent
says that the telephones have all been
wrongly wired, and he is obliged to
go over each of the $50 telephones now
in the service and rewire them. He
has been at this work since January
last and says that he will have co IL
pleted the job by Christmas if all goes
well. Mr.. Gillespie has but two expert
men assisting him.
One thing that throws telephone
out of order is the crossing of the
wires and central has no way of
knowing that the wires are crossed
unless notified by the subscriber.

2200 wires and constructed by Super.

TWO AMENDMENTS PROPOSED TO
THE BILL.
Senator Frye Confident of Majority
Votes Not to Disturb the Treaty of
1S75-The Treaty Safe.

WASHINGTON, June There has
been very pronounced opposition
among many Republican Senators to
the schedule prepared by the Senate
Committee on Finance, some of them
going so far as to declare they would
not vote for it unless altered.
1t is now expected that the sche-
dule proper will be the same as The
House bill, with an addition 20 duties
on lowest grades OF sugars Of 1-10 of
a cent pound over the Dingley bill
rates, which provide a tariff fl cent
a pound on 75-degree sugars, with an
increase of 3-100 of cent a pound for
each additional degree. This would
affect sugars up to 81 degrees
strength. Another plan which has
many friends is to cut the ad valorem
rate of the Senate bill, which is now
35 to 25 per cent, and increase specific
duties to correspond. In either event,
where differential and refined sugar.
as now figured, is h of cent a
pound, it is to be increased to 3-16 of
a cent. This, it is figured, will give
proper protection to beet sugar.
The clause providing for Hawaiians
will provoke much argument. There
will be two amendments proposed to
the bill. One is the same as that
which has always before been carried,
providing that nothing in the bill
shall abrogate or impair the treaty of
1875. For this Senator Frye, who is
leading the fight. still maintains that
he will have majority of votes.
The second provides that nothing
shall impair the treaty for one year,
but within that time new treaty
shall be negotiated, imposing on Ha-
waiian sugars a two-thirds duty. This
it is figured, will give As of a cent
bounty to island sugar. Another
clanse will provide for a bounty OF
half a cent a pound on beet sugar, to
continue for five years, and disappear
ing at the rate of 90 per cent each
year. 1t is believed that the Senate
! provision admitting into the country
free of duty sugar-beet machinery foI
two years will be kept in the bill
| WASHINGTON, June 5.-Senatol
Frye of Maine, who has made a fight
against any changes in the CONNER,
cial convention. said:
81 hear that the Finance Committee
has already decided to report, insteat
of the amended clause as to recipro
city with the Hawaiian islands the
same one as is in the House bill, anG
| is in the Wilson law now in force
which continues in force all the pro
visions of the treaty as it stands.
do not believe there is strength enough
in the opposition to the treaty tc
make the tariff bill a medium fol
changing any treaty.
