THE CROP WILL Be DOUBLED
IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE OOKALA
PLANTATION.
Manager Walker Is In Honolulu to
Confer With the Agents-Nearly
5000 Tons Yielded This Season.

w. G. Walker, manager of the Ooka-
la plantation on Hawaii, is in Homo
lulu to consult with the agents re-
garding some contemplated improve
ments. He is combining pleasure
with business and will probabaly re-
turn to Hilo this week.
81 would not like to make public at
this time the improvements we con-
template" said Mr.. Walker this morn
ing. Nothing certain has been de-
cided upon yet, although the proba-
bility is that we will make some ex-
tensive improvements before this wear
is out.
"Our crop this season reached $500
tons, against 5000 tons yielded in the
'96 crop. Next year we hope to rea-
lie fully 5000 tons off of the planta-
tion, an increase of nearly double this
seasons output.
There are some 5000 acres under
cultivation. We cleared 200 acres of
land this year and planted it with
sugar cane. Other land is growing
rattoons. We count on securing cane
from something like 1900 acres of new
land in the '99 crop"
Speaking of the drought, Mr.. Walk
er said: Nearly all the plantations
in our district depend entirely on the
rains for irrigation. OF course the
protracted spell of dry weather this
season has been felt by all of us. On
Ookala plantation we were obliged to
apportion the water for domestic pur-
poses, using salt water for the boilers.
There is a well in Kawalii gulch,
where we intend to erect a pump. This
will insure us of a supply of water for
domestic purposes and the boilers.
THE Paauilo, Honokaa, Kukaiau,
Paahau, and other plantations in the
districts were affected slightly by the
dry weather. The greatest suffering
was on the lower lands. There being
more moisture on the high lands, the
crops look fairly we'll"
Wouldn't it be advisable to sink
wells on these plantations?"
II hardly think So" replied Mr..
Walker. Il doubt very much whether
water could be found. We have all
the wind we want in the district,
which would be good thing for a
| wind mill if water was obtainable."

HAKALAU MANAGER HERE.
He Tells of the Laupahoehoe Chinese
Riot on Hawaii.

Manager George Ross and Book
keeper II. V. Patton of the big Ha-
kalau plantation on Hawaii, are city
visitors.
The recent riot of the Chinese on
the Laupahoehoe plantation, from the
accounts of it brought by Mr.. Ross
and Mr.. Patton, appears to be very
similar to the riots on other planta.
tions. The Chinese claimed that one
of their number had been maltreated
by the luna. The alleged injured man
Office, where he was examined and
found to be wanting of injuries or
bruises. McLennan, fearing that the
man would probably be done away
with by the Chinese in order that a
case might be made out against the
luna, kept the man in his office. The
Chinese made demand for him, but
were refused. They then stoned the
Office, compelling McLennan to send
for the police to quiet them. The Chi
nese, one hundred in number, march
ed into Hilo, where they were placed
under arrest.
Ten of the number were tried last
week, and nine were sentenced to four
months imprisonment on the roads,
one being allowed to go free. The
remaining ninety Cinnamon will be
tried early in September.

Tomorrow's match between the
Land Crabs and the Water Babies will
be intensely exciting. Both teams
have found time to do little practice

that society is hard pressed for money
sufficient to carry on its undertake

will be a large attendance.

JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHERS.
Said to Be Picturing the Windward
Shore Line of Oahu.

1t is stated by a gentleman from
the windward side of the island that
a party of japanese photographers
have been at work during the past
three weeks taking photographs of
the various bays and coves on the
shore line which are accessible 70
craft of light draught. They have
been working very Systematically, al
though, ostensibly, merely for the
purpose of securing some scenic
views. In another weeks time, the
Stars informant says, they will have
practically surveyed the coast line
ON the windward side of the island.
In view of the rumors that are in
circulation concerning the intentions
of the japanese now on the islands,
provided they are supplied with arms,
the War Department may lind new
food for reflection in the Japanese
photographers work.

such the Murder of General Castillo is
Likely to Prove.
New YORK, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana via Key West
says the outgoing authorities have
struck a heavy blow at autonomy by
permitting. the killing of General
Castillo.
General Castillo was not killed in
open fight: he was betrayed by Cuban
guard and captured by the Spaniards
last Friday and shot on Monday morn
ing. 1t was more satisfactory to shoot
him than to treat him as a prisoner of
war. Castillo commanded Havana
province, and was beloved as an able
and brave general by every Cuban un-
der arms. His killing will arouse de-
sire for revenge that at the present
juncture will tend to prevent accept
ance of autonomy.
With an escort of seven men Castillo
was lying ill with fever in secluded
spot when the guide betrayed him.
The exhibition of his body has aroused
indignation even among General Wey-
ley's officers.
Side by side with him in the morgue
was the body of man who had starved
to death. The two presented.a plain
illustration OF General Weyier's
methods of conducting this war.
A manifesto will be circulated and
signed by President Capote and Cen
erals Gomez and Garcia, calling upon
all Cubans not to accept autonomy.

Killed His Father.

REDWOOD CITY, Cal, Oct, 81
Thomas Flanne1ly shot and killed his
father, Patrick Flannelly. one OF the
most respected citizens of this place,
last night, because he had been Or
dered from the ranch for disregardiug
the old mans wish. The crime was
committed in the elder Flannelly's
house, which the son had entered evi-
dently with the intention OF commit
ting murder.
The crime aroused the people of this
city to high state Of excitement.
Posses were formed to pursue the boy,
and he was located at the ranch he
had been ordered from by his father.
When called upon to surrender, young
Flannelly fired upon Sheriff McEvoy,
of San Mateo county, ard several of
his deputies, one bullet taking effect
in the sheriff's left arm. The volley
was returned and the murderer was
wounded several times. He then sur

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.

y There are many indications that
within the next few years sugar max
ing is destined to become very i'm
portant feature in the Industrial and
commercial questions of the United
States. And as cane brakes of the
South are insufficient to anywhere
near supply the demand. the beet
must become the article from which
our sugar is to be made. Past unsatis-
factory conditions of agriculture, our
present enormous and increasing i'm
portations of sugar and the legislation
by which the present administration
is attempting to foster sugar manufac-
ture, render the question of beet farm
ing one of unusual interest.
The statistics of the industry for the
year 1895 show that the total consump-
tion of sugar in the United States
amounted to 2,O93, ,S91 tons, equal to a
per capita consumption of 63 pounds.
OF this amount 1,739, ,313 tons were i'm
ported from abroad and 354, ,506 tons
represent domestic production-that is
to say, for one ton of sugar manufac--
tured in the United States we brought
in five tons from other countries. The
statistics of the past sixteen years
show that the consumption during
that period was 25, 1872, ,649 tons of which
2,673O50 tons. or only one-tenth, was
produced in the United States. Dur
ing this period we paid out for this i'm
ported sugar about fifteen hundred
million dollars. or in other words we
have paid to foreign countries an
average yearly tribute for the past
sixteen years of about one hundred
million dollars. These figures become
yet more significant when it is remem-

WHERE TILE HONEY is.

America makes the boast of having
more money in circulation per capita
than almost any other nation on the
globe, and in fact has a very large
volume as compared with other coun-
tries; but in reality there is a very
small percentage of money in so-called
circulation that is in actual circulation
among the people. The controller of
the currency in his report for 1896
showed the entire amount of money in
the United States to be S2,257, ,945, ,845,
of this 1915, 5,543, $50 was held in the
treasury, leaving 1852, ,302, 1889 in So
called circulation, or S21.15 per capita.
This presumably is the amount that
circulates from day to day between the
people of the country supplying a
medium of exchange for the ordinary
transactions of business, but in fact
only very small portion of it is actu-
ally employed. Fully three-fourths of
it is lying in bank vaults where of
course it exercises the functions of
money through system of checks
given and received in commercial
transactions.
A journal called Money, published
in New, gives list of what it terms
the ''average per capita bank credit in
each state," which it explains is the
capital and deposits of the banks and
bankers, that is held ready for use in
legitimate business. The list shows
the average per capita bank credit to
be the lowest in Arkansas, $4.S6, and
the highest in Rhode Island, S37l.62.
An average between the highest and
lowest would be $1SS.24. Thus with
our boosted high rate of per capita
we find it absorbed many
times over by the banks of the country
in their deposits and capital stock.
The fact is, a comparatively small |
of money is in actual circula-
ton or even held by the masses. Oc-
casionally some of it gets into the
hands of the people, as 1t Is now flow
ing out to pay for the crop just har-
vested, but it soon will find its way
back into the banks, from whence it
IAN only be drawn on loans. At least
line months in every year, very nearly
I'll the money in the country is in the
,anks. and all the time nine-tenths of
t is under their control.

an EXPECTED FAILURE.

In justice to President Mckinley,
it must be said that he made an effort
to fulfill the pledges of his party for
international bimetalism, by sending
a commission to Europe to confer
with the leading nations and sue
for a conference. But their mission
was failure, as all clear minded peo-
pie believed 1t would be. An inter.
national monetary agreement without
the cascurrence of England would be
useless, and this, nearly everybody
was satisfied could not be obtained, for
the simple reason that at present it is
not to England's interest to have any
money standard but gold throughout
the world. She is a loaning nation,
and holds securities in almost every
section of the globe. So long as the |
are assured of a fixed income, and the
value of the rent or interest they re.
ceive upon their loans enhances,
whereas, if double standard were
adopted they would diminish in pur-
chasing power.
1t was folly to send commission to
that nation to plead for bimetalism,
and the mission of Messrs. Wolcott,
Stevenson and Paine could result in
but failure. 1t was almost
foregone conclusion that England
would not even consent to the opening
of the India mints, and it was certain
that neither Germany nor France
would enter into an international
agreement without conces-
sions from Great Britain, hence so far
as any beneficial results were con-
cerned, they could not be accomplished,
consequently nobody is disappointed
at the failure. There is only one way
by which bimetalism will eyer be &C.
and that is by independent
action. One nation at, time must
adopt double standard, and others
will follow.

ORDER FROM SPAIN.
Deposed Commander Must Await BIanco
at Havana

+
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch tt
the Herald from Havana, says:
General Weyler has been ordered by
his government in Madrid to remain
in Havana until General Blanco ar.
rives. This may mean that Weyler is
to be sent home under arrest for refus.
ing to obey the order to give his COM
mand to General Castellanos.
General Weyler is using every means
to win sympathy here. On the way he
employees the power he has concen-
trated depends to very considerable
extent the stability of Spain in Cuba.
If he chooses to resist Blanco's au-
thority, the latter will need strong
force behind him before he can land
in Havana. If there is not serious
trouble it will be because Senior Sa-
gasta and his ministers bend their
knees to General Weyler, for the in
dication is that Weyler will not SUBJ
init quietly to them.
That the Spanish government antici-
pates disturbance is evinced by the
fact that it has telegraphed to General
Weyler to disband the volunteer forces.
This morning The captain general
called to the palace the colouels and
read them telegram from Minister of
the Colonies Moret, stating that the
services of the volunteers would not be
longer required, and that they were to
be disarmed. After an excited con-
suitation the colonels agreed to send
considerable disDatch to Senior Moret |
expressing their Indignation and stat
ing that they would not be responsible |
for the actions of the men if the news
was conveyed to them.

None Will be Barred.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Nc.
Bride, of Oregon, saw the secretary OF
war and the president today regarding
the report that the new military reser-
vation in Alaska would create monop-
oily for the two transportation COM
panies now operating between that ter
ritory and points in the United States.
He was assured there was no such in
tention in the order: that no one would
be excluded from the territory or pre-
vented from engaging in any business
on the reservation. Secretary Alger
said he would telegraph the chamber
of commerce of Tacoma to that effect.
The intention of the order was solely
that of protecting life and property in
the territory and any company or per-
son entering the territory would be
given the same rights and privileges
companies or persons already
operating there.
Senator Mcbride said he had no
doubt there would be no trouble for
any persons operating in Alaska, and
the assurances of the president and
secretary were sufficient to quiet all
that might be felt either
in Oregon or Washington.
