Arrangements Tor Entertaining tiS D''''-
Congress and FOR the Coming Trip.

now being arranged by a committee OF
which First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Heath is chairman, and as soon
as it is completed the matter will be

The advantages of cheap carriage OF
ores and enormous plants of the most
improved type which are telling against
English competition also threatens the
nrosneritv of the southern iron-making
industry. which. until now, has been
Furnishing. At a conference between
the iron manufacturers of Birmingham,
Ala and the railroads connecting that
iron-making center with the east and
west a general reduction of about ~
per cent on the rates for carrying pig
iron was recently made, and also a re-
duction of about per cent in the
freight on raw materials. A reduction
in wages of coal miners of 3 cents on
every ton of coal mined is proposed, but
the miners are not willing to concede 1t.
The argument used by the iron manu-
facturers with the railroads was that

50 per ton. A prominent southern fur-
mace operator says that in his Judg-

THE srRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY ii

THE SIkA III tt FOX II ftNEh I
A great struggle for supremacy in the
iron and steel industry not only be-
tween England and the United States,
but between the centres of iron and
steel manufacture in this country. is
surely impending.
The report of an English expert
transmitted TO the State department at
Washington by Consul Parker. of Bir-
mingham. shows that English suprem,
acy in iron and steel making is danger
ously menaced by the United States,
not merely on account Of the approach
ing exhaustion Of the English supply Of
domestic and cheap foreign ores but
also because Of the superior advantages
possessed by the American iron and
steel manufacturers both in the supply
of raw materials and in the better facil-
tiles for manufacturing cheaply. The
cheap water carriage of ores from the
mines 10 within easy reach Of the fur
naces and the facilities for quick and
economical transportation of the fin
ished products 10 the seaboard are i'm
portant factors in the case while the
gigantic scale upon which American
iron making plants are built and oper-
ated dwarfs English competition. Not
withstanding the higher rates paid in
American establishments for labor the
cost Of production per ton of iron or
steel is less than in England, and Amer
lean steel can be laid down in the for
eign market at lower rates than can be

, QUESTION OF COLOR DEGREE.

One of the Presidents latest trials
and tribulations with office-seekers, it
is said. is to decide how to distribute
the pie among the colored brethren.
The genuine negroes claim that the
mulattoes are getting more than their
share of the pie. and the allegation is
made that seven-tenths of the present
ofice-holders in the executive depart
ments and printing office, in the schools
and elsewhere are half or quarter
breeds. The blacks call the others ''yel-
low Jacks" while the mulattoes con-
slider themselves higher socially and in
tellectually than the blacks. The blacks
have been holding meetings. sending
petitions to the President, and in other
ways have demanded recognition. One
of their leaders, whose name happens

says: Henry Jones, colored, a convict
in the Indiana State prison, was hanged
in the prison shortly after midnight for
the murder of a fellow convice named
Thomas, who testified against him in
the trial which resulted in his last
sentence to prison. Jones showed no
sign of fear at his fate and went to the
scaffold without a tremor. The eXecu-

There are strong indications that the
Ohio Republican convention will have
a fierce fight over the question Of civil
service reform in the institutions of the
State. As nearly every other man in
Ohio is a disappointed Office seeker and,
hence. an enemy of civil service reform,
the outlook for the continuance Of the
merit system in the institutions of
the Buckeye State is not good.

WHOSE APPETITE"

The Chicago Chronicle recalls the
time when for quarter OF a
century we used to hear from the
Republican brethren installed at the
public crib about an awful organized
appetite" which appetite they described
as the Democratic party. They felt it
a patriotic duty to disappoint this
appetite in order to satisfy their own.
The country would be lost if they were
not permitted to take their meals in

NARROW ESCAPE.
Otis Spalding Falls Into Boat
and Injuries Himself.

Otis sSpalding Falls Into a Boat
and Injuries Himself.
1t has just come to light that Otis
B. Spalding of Kauai had very mar
row escape from death on his last TRIP
to his home on the w, C. Hall during
the morning of February 4th. The
steiner had arrived at the landing
place of his home during the early
morning. Spalding got his traps ready
and went TO the side of the vessel to
get into the boat. Two passengers be-
fore him jumped into the boat and
were caught and kept from falling by
the native sailors. No such good luck
for Otis. He jumped and fell head
long in the boat, striking his forehead
violently. In an insensible condition
he lay in the boat, and grave fears
were entertained as to his recovery.
Mr.. Spalding was carried to Kealia,
where during the whole of that day he
remained in dazed condition. He was
no better on the next day, and for q
week he suffered agonies Slowly he
began to get better under his physl-
'ian's care, and now he is almost well
again. 1t was a case of conclusion Of
he brain with Mr.. Spalding.

Another chapter of the Sumner case
was opened in the Circuit Court yes
terday. The case has been an inter-
esJing one since the question was raised
whether VI. F. Cranda1l had any legal
right to retain his power of attorney
granted him by John K Sumner, who
was judged by his relatives to be ment-
ally incapable OF giving away his rights
I to anyone. Ii appears from the rec
ords that the power of attorney which
Sumner gave TO Crandall was limited
in the Iatter's mind, only as the air is
/ limited. It was under the authority
vested in him by Sumner that Gran
dali leased a portion of land which be-
Ilonged to Sumner to the Oahn Railroad
Company for a long term of years
John Summers sister and his other
relatives discovered what a power
| CrandaH had come TO have over him,
and applied to the courts for relief
on the ground that their relative was
not of sound mind, and could enter,
legally, into negotiations with no one
for the disposition of his property.
{ The Court appointed Minister ]. a.
King receiver of the property. Last
week Minister King applied to the
Court for permission to bring suit
against NJ. F. Crandall, B. F. Dilling-
ham and Mark P. Robinson to cancel
the lease, claiming that it was illegal.
Yesterday a demurrer was filed by Cecil
Brown, counsel for defendants. that
the plaintiff, as receiver OF John K.
Sumner, has no legal capacity to bring
this action; that the plaintiff is not
the proper party to institute the suit;
that plaintiff cannot bring this action
in his own name; that the complaint
does not state facts sufficient to cause
action.
Judgment is asked whether the de-
PENDANTS shall be compelled 10 make
further answer, and petition is made
for dismissal. The defendants state that
demurrer is not entered for the pur-
pose Of delay. It Is said to be based on
+ the claim that Minister King, as re-
ceiver. has no authority to bring suit
other than for the recovery of rents or
money due the estate, not for the set
ting aside Of a lease. which is a solemn
4 contract, entered into apparently in
good faith by both parties.

Continued from First Pagel

When. however, We come to the estl-
mate Of the gross REGENTS for tele-
grams. this. we take ii. would be far
more difficult and uncertain. But what
ever the receipts might be at first they
would surely grow steadily every year,
and If Government undertook the
work. they could DO so in the practical
certainty that if unremunerative AZ
the outset the line would soon pay a
good profit en- the working as the pop
ulation Of the Western States of the
American Union and the Canadian Do
minion grew. and as trade in the Far
East with those great eountries-now
in its infancy-developed. OF course,
the line first laid will enjoy the best
chance of proving paving speculation.
Communication with the Far East does
not enter into the project now being
discussed by the conference sitting in
London, which is concerned only with
communication between Canada and
Australia. but if Hawaii were made
station on that line it would natur-
ally be made the starting point for any
line that may in the future be laid Il
connect with the Far East, and this
latter line would then constitute 2
valuable feeder for the sirst. 1t appears
TO us, therefore, that a line from Van
eouver 10 Honolulu, and thence in two
sections, one TO New Zealand and Aus
tralia. and the other to Japan and
Hong Kong, would prove the most fea-
sible and useful from a financial and
commercial point OF view. But let us
have the cable and we shall not great
ly care from whence it starts on the
American side or where it touches en-
route.
