people. II flowing wells are not con-
fined to- Oahu, we may he sure that
that they are not confined to Kauai.
OF course the discovery that a flowing
well has been sunk on the east coast.
will urge others to try their luck, and
there is little doubt that within the
next year there will he quite a chain
of wells running northward from the
Waiua river.
But there are other Islands besides
Oahu and Kauai. There is the neglect
ed Molokai Large tracts of land there
need only water to bloom into fertil-
ity. Rain falls abundantly upon the
mountains, whose highest peak is
some five thousand feet in height, yet
along the coast there is little or no
pie all drink brackish water, and so
along the coast, if you call at a house
for "A drink of water, nine times out
of ten you will get brackish water.
Yet the formation of the land is such
that the water which falls on the
mountains makes it way to the sea on
the Kaunakakai side, and you can see
the cattle standing at the edge of the
sea and licking the fresh water which
is forcing its way through the sand.
Whoever gets possession of the Kau-
nakakai and adjoining lands and sinks
wells upon them will find that boz
nanza has been struck. and then ev-
cry one will say, why didn't we see
that chance before?
When people talk about these Is
lands being easily filed up, the fact
is they are talking nonsense. Places
that are barren now will in course of
time be made to yield abundantly.
The Islands are not supporting one
fifth of the population they should
and mayhap not tenth. But how
difficult it is to make people look into
the future.

something good and reason
able in price both in black and

REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, Feb. l9.--In their weekly
review of trade Dun a. Co. say that while
the dreadful disaster to the Maine has
affected all hearts, IL has not much af-
fected business. Nothing has occurred
to check the increase I'm production or in
working force. The proposal OF a gem
eral strike in the cotton mills to support
the New Bedford strikers does not thus
far seem likely to meet much response
Shipments of boots and shoes from
Boston In February have been the largest
ever known at this season. exceeding
those of 1896 by AZ percent. and those of
1892 by I6 percent, and heavy buying is
reported In women's light shoes, better
than. in any year. Some makers have
sold half the annual product in mems
shoes. though others have done little or
nothing, unable TO get prices they de-
sire. The range I'm prices for mems boots
and shoes has advanced an average of
about ga cents per pair.
In the cotton manufacture production
In restricted by strike. and some grades
are a shade dearer. The recent opening
OF high grade woolens at advanced
prices meets less demand than was ex-
pected. with less activity in lower grades
and Unexpectedly numerous cancel
lations i'm lightweights. indicating larger
buying than consumption has yet war
ranted.
Failures for the week have been 2s5 in
the United States. against 30S last year.
and 80 in Canada, against IS last year.

the disaster occurred. He expressed full
confidence in the officers who were to
make the investigation for the navy de-
partment. Il have an unmitigated
dread Of war;" said Mr. Hawley, with
great feeling, "and 1 deprecate all war
talk. Do the gentlemen who talk so

MIR. Allen wanted vote upon the res

the suspicion expressed by Mr.. Mason,
that an investigation by the navy de-
partment would not be satisfactory 10
the country. He had not in his five
years experience in the senate known
one OF these Investigations to result in
anything.
Mr. Hale rose and said deliberately:

that this subject might be disposed of

rlent from Captain Sigsbee. 1t shows
that there is not in Havana a single dis
cordant note. All are in mourning for
the dead. The city is filed with an at
mosphere of pity, commiseration and
sympathy"
Mr.. Hale then read the cablegram from
Captain Sigsbee descriptive OF the fun
eral OF the victims of the Maine and
the sentiment i'm Havana. 1t being
after 2 O'Clock, Mr.. Hale remarked that
under the rules the resolution would so
10 the calendar.
Mr.. Bacon introduced the following
joint resolution: THAT there shall be
prepared under the direction of the sec
retary of the navy and placed upon the
wall of statuary hall, I'm the Capitol
building a bronze tablet commemorative
OF the officers and men of the United
states navy who pershed i'm the loss
OF the battieship Maine in the harbor Of
Havana, Feb. 49, 1898. The said tablet
shall contain the names Of said officers
and men, and shall be an enduring me-
rorial TO their honor and perpetual
token OF the sorrow of the nation" The
resolution further appropriates n suffi-
cient sum of money to carry the resolu-
tion into effect. II was referred to the
committee on naval affairs.
