,"What do you know of Puma
and Kona districts?" was next
asked.
Very little, except from hear
say. 1 am told the main trouble
with the Hawaiian Coffee and
Tea Company's place at kailua
is the shallow soil. Coffee trees
have a very long top root and re-
quire very deep soil. In Olaa we
have 8 feet Of soil resting on a
foundation of disintegrated pahoe-
hoe through which the roots have
no difficulty in making their way.
At Kailua I am told the soil is
much shallower and rests on solid
rock, and the roots of trees being
unable to penetrate it curl up and
thus get too close to'the surface.
This explanation seems very plau-
sible and is probably correct, bat
as | said before / know nothing
of it personally. do know
however, that at Rycrofts place
at Puma the same trouble has
been found but not to such q
great extent. Mr.. Rycroft's crop
last year was nothing like what it
was the year before when it should
have been much larger. This led
him to investigate and l under
stand he found the same. trouble
of shallow soil on a foundation of
solid rock. This year he is try
ing heavy fertilization as a remedy
and l believe it will be successful
If it is there is no reason it should
not prove 80 at Kailua."

SATURDAY, SEPT. IL, 1897.

According to a Honolulu dis
patch in the New York Herald,
Japan accepted Hawaii's pro-
posal to arbitrate, on condition that
the whole question of immigration
shall be covered" Then Hawaii
is represented as objectipg to this
because she does not want a third
party to pass upon her claimed
right to deal fully with immigra-
ton. The case is thus rather put
upside down. Japsn's answer
would indicate that she claims the
right of free Japanese immigra-
tion into Hawaii under the treaty
of 1871, without regard to the spe-
cisl labor immigration convention
of 1856 and Hawaiian laws for the
regulation of immigration of all
nationalities. 1t is understood that
it is Hawaii who is the party that
desires the whole question Of i'm
migration to be covered in the ar.
bitration.

NEW TOPEKA.

The success Of yesterdays merchants
excursion marks another step in the
prosperous and successful onward
march of Topeka toward commercial
Importance, from a beginning which
dates from the Fall Festival of 1895.
The spirit of cooperation, united ef-
fort, a pulling together which was en-
gendered by that event has been pro-
life in benefits to the city.
The success attained on that occasion
served to instnl into the minds of the
people and the business men a feeling
of confidence in themselves and in their
city. 1t was followed by the pure food
show, an event rarely excelled in point
of excellence and financial returns,
even in much larger cities. Then fol-
lowed another festival excelling the
first in magnifcence and in drawing
power
Among the substantial. tangible
benefits growing out of the start made
last year may fairly be classed the
creamery, the canning factory and the
woolen mill.
The same feeling of self reliance and
confidence in the future which brought
about all these things and that has so
recently resulted in the Inauguration of
a series of merchants excursions will
build the Auditorium.
If there We're at any time those who
doubted the successful carrying through
of the plan to erect a big convention
hall in the capital of Kansas, it is i'm
probable that any such can be found
today. Even chronic doubters and
hckers have come to understand that
Topeka is not what she once was-that
when she has once decided to do a
thing she does it, allowing nothing to
stand in the way of it's accomplish
ment.
It has come to pass when men are
wanted to engineer any public enter
prise to a successful termination, such
men spring up from everywhere COM
petent and willing to work for the pub
lie good and without other reward than
the encomiums of a grateful public.
When money is needed for carrying
out any scheme for the city's good, the
money is forthcoming.
When So 600 or IS. 900 can be raised for
an entertainment to last but a week,
there can be no doubt about raising a
sufficient amount to erect a convention
hall which will last for years and will
be the means of bringing to the city
almost as many people every year as
attend a fall festival.
Topeka has struck a gait which if
maintained, will bring her under the
~-ire far in advance of any other city
in the state.

Barrels in the Sunken Steamer
Arabia Are Uncovered.
The Hull of the Steamer is Now
in Kansas.
ADDS $1,000 REVENUE.
There is 165 Barrels at a Tax
of $1.IO Per Gallon.
Other Kansas News of a Gener-
al Nature.

LeavenwOrth, Dec. 1S.-The men en-
gagged in the work of uncovering the
whisky and other cargo in the hold Of
the river steamer Arabia, that lies bur
led in the sand near ParkyilIe, yester-
day sent word to the revenue collector
that they had reached the whisky, and
the barrels appeared to be in good con-
dition. More excavating will be nee
eSSary before the contents of a barrel
may be drawn to see what sort of
bead this 40-year-old liquor has.
When the matter was taken up for
investigation it was discovered that
WhlIe the steamer sank in the sand that
formed the Missouri limits of the river
at that time, the tickle current had
since shifted. and the steamer was now
in Kansas, and consequently the liquor
will have to be taken out under the
worth.
1t is presumed there were 165 barrels
hIled with the wet goods in the cargo
OF the Ara abia. This would be about
$500 gallons The tax will be 81. 10 per
gallon, and if all the liquor is recov-
cred the payment will be in excess of
1000.
An option on the whole amount is

though some cOnnOisseurs claim it will
be practically in the same condition it
was Wheh the steamer sank, as it does
not age except when in dry surround
lngs- They all admit that it would be
prime stuff to sell, however, and would
command fancy price from all tip
piers and judges.
The wreckers who uncovered the
steamer made an interesting discovery
when they struck the deck of the yes
sci. They found a petrifed potato
that weighs about a pound. 1t had

Suicide Writes His Wife's Name
In His Own Blood.

New York, Dec. .1S.-While William
Earle was dying he dipped his finger in
the blood that flowed from a pistol
shot wound in his head which he him
self had made and wrote on the wall
the one word Minnie
Beside him sat a child, years old,
who watched, wondering, while the
father traced the name of her mother
in crimson characters.
And when Minnie Lawrence rushed
into the room crying: "Will! viii!
What have you done?" he only pointed
to her name there on the wall
And he died looking at those scarlet
letters, spelling the name of the wo-
man he loved, her for whom he had left
wife and children, for whom he had be-
come a failure and an outcast and loss
of whose love made life seem no longer
worth living.
She said in Justice WOrth's court in
Brooklyn yesterday that those letters
were burned into her brain; that she
never could put them away from her
sight No matter which way she looks,
the name is there, just as if some one
with a searchlight were flashing it on

Chicago Record: It is not gratifying
to hear that the town council of Man
lato, Kas., is about to institute an in
novation in the field of art and police
tactics by passing an ordinance forbid
ding the singing or whistling of "A
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
The sole pretext for the counciImen's
action is that the song has become as
much of q craze as was After the
Ball. and as they squelched the earlier
lyric by a similar measure they mean to
resort to the same tactics now.
All this arises from an evident mis-
conception of individual rights Man
is forbidden by certain statutes to
harass or take vengeance upon his
neighbor in certain ways, but hereto
fore no one has sought to deprive him
of the right to sing, whistle or yodel.
1t has always been maintained wide

MORTON,S NTATUE
To be Erected in Indianapolis on the
Site Ch osen.

Indianapolis, Dec. 1S.-The board of
regents for the State Soldiers mOnu-
ment in a report to the governor today
gave much space to the contention ex-
ercising the G.. A. r., of the state con-
cerning the disposition of the Morton
statue on Monument place, the agita-
tion being excited by Mrs. Morton. who
objects to the placing of the statue to
one side.
Mrs. Morton has sent circulars to ev-
cry post in the state. seeking the adop-
ton of resolutions protesting against
the change, concerning which the re
gents say, This movement to interfere
with the action of the regents is
based upon the false assumption that
Mrs. Morton and her family and the
Grand army of the Republic have some
proprietary interest in the statue of
Governor Morton, or the site on which
it was originally erected.
The regents adhere to their purpose
not to change the location.

Extravagant Salary of the City Mar
shall of Tonganoxie.

Leavenworth, Dec. 18.-After a strug-
gle of several weeks to secure a city
marshal, the city council of Tonga
nOxie has at last found a suitable per-
son who will take the office.
In an attempt to secure an enforce
ment of the prohibitory law, the salary
of the former city marshal was re-
duced to dollar a year, payable quar-
terly. This material reduction in his
salary brought the desired result, the
resignation of the guardian of the
peace.
The city council met last Monday and
elected Matt Boman as city marshal,
the mayor at first protesting that he
did not want to appoint an old chestnut
to the office unless there was an over
Whelming demand. He was convinced
of the demand, and hereafter Matt Bo-
man will draw a salary of cents a
week as marshal of Tonganoxie.
