The American Tobacco Trust seems
to be having hard time. Under the
recent decision of the Illinois Court
they are not allowed to sell their
goods in that State. Now we learn
through New York advices that the of
ficials of this company will be tried in
New York in June. Surely the ways
of the transgressor is hard.

low Senators that he will not be over

breezy and amusing TO the Senate as

lingtOn should be 20 anxious to keep
England in good humor it is somewhat
difficult TO understand. America, we
thought, was his boast at all times.
The Republican leaders in Maryland
are more than disappointed at Mr. Well
lington's first effort Well, it's English,
you know, 80 look out for turned up
trousers and the English strut Amer

Washington Star editorially states that
Mr.. Wellington's position about jingo-
ism i more than unfortunate and that
he has not sufficient information on
this subject TO address a town meeting,
much less the Senate Of the United
States. The Baltimore Sun, however,

comes 10 his rescue and gives the SEN

because we have personal grudge

$1,000 are either wholly or partly ma
tives, or Chinese or Japanese All of
these work more or less. and hence the
islands are no place for poor men,
common laborers or clerks. There are
more bookkeepers and copyis's in
Honolulu today than can find employ
ment. The Chinese, of whom there
are $4,000, and japanese, 24,000, have
not only ruined the white labor mar
ket, but they have to a large extent
swallowed up the small businesses. The
natives, $4,000, also compete in the
labor market. AS common workmen
Chinese and Japanese get from Sl2 80
to Sl5 a month and board themselves.
The Portuguese and Hawaiians re-

HONOLULU PROPERTY.
I asked some questions as to the con-
ditiOns of real estate in Honolulu.
am told that it has steadily increased
during the last four years, and that
suburban property has doubled in val
lie during that time. The annexation
will give it another upward shoot, and
this, it is believed, will be the case
with all kinds of property in the
islands. One of the best chances for
money making is, 1 am told, in the
building of an electric railroad in the
city of Honolulu. An English COM
pany now has a franchise, but it is not
an inclusive one, and neither the COM
pany nor it's road is popular. The
road is capitalized at $37 800 a mile,
and it has fifteen miles of track. It
has bob-tailed cars, run by mules, and
although there has been general
demand that electricity be adopted.
the company will not accede to it. AS
Tar as 1 can learn, the English acted
the hog as to the matter from the start.
They capitalized the road at $500, 900,
and issued $4,000 worth of bonds.
They took come of the stock them
selves, sold bonds in London and ap-
point ted lot of London directors, each

small amount of stock in several others
He is opposing annexation, and one
reason of his opposition, 1t is claimed :,
is that he will lose the refining of the
Hawaiian sugar if the islands become
a part of the United States. The sales
of his plan tations has had something to
do with his family quarrels in which
he has been fighting his sons.
The sugar plantations are owned
almost altogether by Americans.
They are capitalized at about $50, OOO.-
600. Some of them have paid quite
large dividends, the average for the
past year having been about II per
cent. 1 am told that some plantations
have made double this. The huctua-
tions, however, in the prices of sugar
have been so great that the business is
quite precarlous. 1t is managed on
strict business principles, every means
which unlimited money can furnish be-
ing used to reduce the cost. Take, for
instance, the Eva plantation, which
made 13. 900 tons of sugar last year and
is now paying big dividends. This
plantation has capital of a million
dollars and about 100 stock holders. 1t
made no money for years and was
spending vast amounts right along.
The plan tation is 8 miles from Homo
lulu, and it comprises 5000 acres.
Every foot of its caue has to be water
ed throughout the year by artesian
wells. 1t uses enormous pumping ma

access to the large collection OF new
photographs just received by the Ha-
waiian minister, some of which lie be-
fore me as | write
MODERN HONOLULU.
These photo graphs show how fast
the islands have been modernlzed.
There are dozens Of residences IN Homo
lulu which have cost SO. 900 and up
ward. The city has magnificent stone
buildings, churches. and Masonic
temple which would compare favOrably
with any Masonic building in the Unit
ed States. The city contains about 30
900 people, and in proportion to Its SIZE
it is one of the rich cities of the world.
All of the houses have large yar7s aud
gardens about them, and many OF TT EN-
are shaded by palm trees. Honolulu
lies right under the mountains on the
ge of the sea. 1t is only six miles
from the government house to the
summit of the mountains at the back
of the town. These mountains are b.
600 feet high, and are covered with
woods to their tops. The government
building, if annexation comes, will be-
long to the United States. 1t is a mag
pificent structure and was formerly the
palace of he king. There are nuner-
Gus telegraph wires in Honolulu. The
town has more telephones in proper
tion to its size than any other city In
the world. Every house has a tele-
phone, and there are telephone con-
nections to almost every settlement on
the islands of Oahu, Kauai and Ha-
wall. On the island of Maui the tele-
phone is being to put up and in short
time every one Of the larger islands
will have its telephone come ctions.

of the bank of California at San Fran

short time ago to the government for
$50. 900, and it is now used for a high
school. The building is surrounded
by five acres of beautiful gardens, and
it is in the very heart of the city. The
government has established free schools
ali over the island. Every neighbour
hood which has forty children has a
schoolhouse and teacher, and there
is no place in the United States where
the boys put in so many school days in
the year. School is held for nine
months, aud the hours are from 9 to
2. School attendance is compulsory,
and the law in this respect is enforced
everywhere. In each school district
there are one or two policemen, who
come into the school every morning
and poll the school. If boy or girl is
absent record is made of it, and if no
good excuse is given the next day the
policeman calls upon the scholar
family. If the offense is repeated the
heads of the family are called before
the police court and fined 80. Such

Doctor Mccoy Gives the
Uniform Rate of So a

This Applies to All Patients
and All Diseases.

Only during the summer could Doctor Mccoy
possibly make the rate of 50 a month. covering
Dea fness and all diseases. Since the establish
ment Of his natl nal practice in Washington his
patients have constantly grown In number that
he has often seriously considered the ACCESSIBILITY
Of limiting their number and raising his fees
charging Il fee somewhat In proportion to the
service rendered.
The only reasons which enable
Doctor Mccoy to give the S3 rate for
the summer months nre:
First, because 1t Is the vacation
season. the season when SO many of
his regular patients nre out of town;
and
Second, because one months treat
