A Valuable Discovery.

Mr.. E. Hartmann, chemist for the
Onomea Sugar Company, has prepared
an article for the next number of the
Planters Monthly, on a method by
which better extraction may be OBJ
tanned by macerating after the second
mill, and using the juice from the third
mill to macerate the trash from the
first mill. The experiment has been
tried in the mill at Papaikou, and the
extraction increased from 81 per cent
to 95 per cent, with a dilution of only
a little over IS per cent. Mr.. Hart
mann's article on the subject will in
clude a demonstration of the theory,
and also a comparison between the re-
suits obtained during a weeks work
with this method and those that would
have been obtained during the same
period by the old method of macera-
ton

KICKS OVER THE TRACES.

Turkey Virtually Ruptures All Me-
gotiatiOnS for Peace.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July Con
trary to expectations the decision of
the Council of Ministers yesterday was
not favorable to the demands of the
ambassadors relative to the Greek
Turkish frontier negotiations. The sit
uation, therefore, is regarded as very
strained, the Turkish reply virtually
implying a rupture of the negotiations,
and that the powers must make con-
cession or adopt measures to enforce
their decision.
1t is reported that the Grand ViZier
has decided that he will never sign the
agreement based on the strategic lines
proposed by the ambassadors. At the
same time, it is thought in some quar-
ters that the attitude of the Turkish
Government is designed to enable the
Sultan to yield later by sacrificing
some of his Ministers, and rumors Of
Cabinet changes are already
current.

A Financial Commission
Expected Then.
Regular Finance Committees May
Wish to Present Currency
Reform Bill.

The Washington Star is authority
finitely decided that no effort is to be
made to dispose of other legislation in
the Senate after the tariff bill has been
passed. Both the Hawaiian treaty and
the proposition to authorize the ap-
pointment of a currency commission
will go over until the next session.
1t is expected that the Hawaiian treaty
will be the first important matter taken
up at the regular session. An effort
is now being made to sidetrack the
currency commission proposition alto
gether. There is considerable opposi-
tion among senators to the commission
idea. They hold to the theory that the
Senate finance committee and the
House committee on banking and cur
rency should deal directly with this
question, and it is probable that the
finance committee will take up the
subject of currency reform and endeav-
or to have a proposition to present to
the Senate soon after the regular ses-
sion begins. If this can be done it will
forestall the commission. 1t was the
intention of the President to send
message to Congress before the close
of this session, recommending the au-
thorization of a commission, but it is
thought that he will be induced not to
do this, on the ground that it will be
impossible to hold a quorum and that
the anticipation of such a course on
his part might delay action on the
tariff.

come more vital and the stronger is the
pressure OF sinister interests to induce
an official 20 betray his trust. Has
there been any serious collapse OF pub
lie officials under this new and exces-
sive strain? Certainly. yes"
Examples proving this were given
and results shown. The only way to
cure this evil, he argued, is first, TO get
absolutely the best men in the COM
munity and see If they will stand the
strain. To do this we must keep more
free from the party collar, and have n
better system of nominations, as by
petition. Men who collapse when not
properly supported will be heroes when
stanchly upheld by their constituents.
Every man must know his friends and
enemies, and to insure this, although
deplorable, We must absolutely have
very acrid, jealous and suspicious
view of public questions by the people.
1t is the only way to find the best ma
terial among men. Lastly, we must in
crease the number of competent men,
we must develop a new man by fuller
exercise of the acknowledged moral
forces, education, public opinion and
religion.

INFLUENCE OF MONOPOLIEs.
Professor Ross Tells of Expansion
of Interests.

WRIGHT'S, July 6.-Dr. E. A. Ross
talked at the Farmers Summer School
this afternoon on How Economic
Changes Put New Strains on Public
Men" He prefaced his remarks by
saying that his lecture would be d.
vided between the realms of economics
and politics.
Continuing, he said in part: 1--WE
find many new economic changes.
First, there is the rise and growth of
natural monopolies as railroads, tele-
ETC., all of which have to do with
transportation and communication.
Next, the great scale of modern indus
try leads to the formation of a vast
labor market and an increase in the
number of men employed. There is the
business control of capital as the coal
oil monopolies and the Sugar Trust.
The effect Of these changes is draw
ing together and organization of the
labor interests, followed by the crea-
ton of a general wage level. This
causes a great struggle between capital
and labor, thrusts new and great prob
lens on the people and the State.
'EThe great growth of corporations
is interesting to notice. At present
fully one-fourth of the enterprises of
the United States are under the control
OF corporations. In the corporation, in
dividual responsibility is lost by the
separation of ownership and manage
ment and by divided ownership. These
changes compel the State to take up
new tasks and duties. Formerly there
was no monopoly and no law was nee
essary. Now, with great railroads, tel
egraphs, etc, it is absolutely necessary
for the State to arbitrate between the
monOpolist and consumer.
''The State is required to act in mat
ters in which vast private interests
are concerned and to act by ordinary
instruments, its officials. These men
who represent the public interests are
no richer or better paid than formerly,

ton tunes. with his mouth hands. feet
and toes all at the same time. On the
whole. he has made no headway. He
has greatly relied, in conversations
with Senators, on the cheap Asiatic la
Dor OF Hawaii. in competition with the
high-priced labor of the American
farmer. But the statements of Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald regarding
Asiatic labor in the sugar beet fields of
California have silenced him. In this
matter Mr. Fitzgerald has done Hawai-
ian interests most valuable service.
He hits hard No representation by an
agent of Hawaii has the force of a
statement made by one who has full
knowledge of the situation, but has no
pecuniary interest in the result.
The vote of the Senate yesterday, on
protecting the reciprocity treaty, in
the tariff bill, closes for the present a
period of anxiety on the part of the
Hawaiian representatives. Although
men on the streets of Honolulu had mo
doubts on the subject, there were
many friendly Congressman who had
serious doubts as to the result, owing
to their long experience in legislative
business. The want of harmony among
the Republicans, at one time, made
the outlook very serious. The vote,
which protects the reciprocity treaty,
is not willing vote. 1t was given in
order to put the annexation question
in the foreground. If annexation fails,
reciprocity goes, too.
The annexation proposition has un-
doubtedly saved reciprocity. 1t is not a
very pleasant thought. Had the Presi-
dent failed to offer the treaty, a con-
siderable number of Republican Sen
atorS would have agreed to a notice of
abrogation or a proposition to reduce
the advantages. Efforts to save reci-
procity and disconnect it from annex
alton were useless. The crisis was at
hand, and the Senate would have acted
with some hostility if not checked by
the President
Mrs. Dominis is appealing to women

these susceptible creatures, who do not

OF Hawaii should make some provision
for removing her from the field it
would be well. 1t is not a question of
what she deserves, it is a question OF
