of land and received written transfer
from the owner, in which it was stip-

four years to take off said oak tim

nothing was said of forfeiture, the
Supreme Court Of Indiana held (Hal-

Brunswick, Ga, May 1. - Because
she neglected to fly the American flag

schooner Addie M. Anderson, Capt.

the United States transport Panther.
The transport sigralled the schooner
to show her colors, but Capt. Taylor did
not respond. Orders to heave to were
also disregarded.
The Panther red a solid shot across
the schooners bows, followed by an

Mr.. Moody thinks if Christ offered to
rule here as he does in heaven he
would be adopted by no political party
and the majority would vote him down.
Evidently Mr.. Moody believes that the
masses are growing in strength and
number; but he ought to give the ma
jority some little credit for intelli-
gence. While ignorance and egotism
go together and are powerful, there is
such thing as common sense. And
besides Mr.. Platt is not going to live al

Mark Twain, following the noble ex-
ample of Sir Walter Scott, has devoted
all his gains for several years to the
payment of what his creditors were dis
posed to regard as dead claims" The
English papers are lavish in their ap-
plause-as if this kind of honesty were
rare virtue. Perhaps it is rare; but
then, more's the pity! Creditors should
forgive us as they hope to be forgiven;
but no debtor should let himself off
easily, unless he is willing to take the
risk Of moral bankruptcy.

In the last four years, according to
Consul Dickey, at Callao, only one car
go of wheat has been sent from the
United States to Peru. The reason
why he is not able to explain, but says
that the cargo referred to went from
San Francisco in October last year.
''The total import of Gillian wheat into
Peru during the year. 1897" says the
consul's report, "amounted to 22,613,.
1913 Kilograms (49,S54,213 pounds).
These figures show that Chill supplies
the Peruvian markets with wheat and
flour. But why Chilli and not the Unit
ed States should supply the Peruvian
markets when our products are far su-
perior to those Of Chill do not know,
charged by sailing vessels carrying
wheat from Chilli, which I am told are
only 4 soles (s1.69) ton" The con-
sui thinks that the first thing to be
done by the United States to gain the
trade of Peru and Of other countries on
the Pacific coast of South and Central
America is to establish a fast line oil
steamers from San Francisco. This,
combined with the present lines plying
between New York and the west coast
of South America. would greatly heir

vast trade that she once had with this

KERR'S NEW STOCK.
Arrangements Made With the Leading
Factories.

L. b. Kerr, the Queen street dry
goods merchant, has just returned
from an extended tour of the United
States and Europe. While absent, he
visited the leading factories and made
arrangements to secure his goods at
first hands, thus saving the jobber's
great saving to Mr.. Kerr and to his ar
my of customers as well.
Mr.. Kerr states that in many cases
he secured of the manufacturers the
exclusive right to sell their goods in
the Hawaiian market. The well
known merchant argues that this fact
will benefit his trade greatly as the
people will practically be purchas-
ing of the manufacturers. AS is well
known, Mr.. Kerr is satisfied with the
merest shaving of profit; he can af-
ford to be, as his store. is popular and
he does an immense business.
BY the steamer ZeaIandia, arriving
here on the 24th, Mr.. Kerr will re-
ceive one of the finest stocks of dry
goods ever imported to this country.
The goods were personally selected,
and include all the latest patterns and
colors. In order to make room for
the new stock Mr.. Kerr will hold a
clearance sale during the week.
\ feature of the Queen street store
is the mail department. People on
the other Islands do not have to both
er their friends now; all they have to
do is send letter describing their
wants and Mr.. Kerr will do the rest.

SUGAR PLANTERS COME TO THE
ISLANDS TO INVESTIGATE
They Learn That Sugar Raising is
More Expensive mere Than in Cuba
Affairs in Bad Shape.

The Hawaiian hotel is sheltering
two Cuban sugar planters. They are
j. NJ. Sorzano and George Lateulade.
A tour of the Island of Hawaii has
already been made by them.
Both gentlemen have been favorably
impressed with what they have seen.
1t is their intention of visiting Eva
plantation this week. Mr.. Sorzano re.
marked that the process of sugar rails
ing is far more expensive here than in
Cuba. but it is offset by the large ton
returns. When the Hawaiian plant
er gets 4 or AZ cents for his product,
the Cuban planter after deducting his
1al cents for tariff. receives only PA
cents for his sugar.
Mr.. Lateulade is just recently from
Cuba. while Mr.. Sorzano left his ma
tive country previous to the opening
of the present revolution. The former
gentleman says that the newspapers
have not exaggerated the reports of
the atrocities nor the condition of af-
fairs at his home. In the previous
revolution. the coffee plantations We're
all destroyed, and have never been re-
susctated to any extent. Cuba now
imports coffee. In the present revolu-
tion the largest part of the sugar

ined. though few of the largest still
are running, and Cuba last year cx-
ported 100000 tons of sugar. In her
times of prosperity, however, she has
exported nearly one and one-half mil
lion tons.
Mr.. Sorzano says of Cuba: "There
is by no means an unanimity of opin-
ion among Cubans on the question of
annexation. Those who have taken
the most active part in the war want
perfect independence and liberty. For
my part think union with the Unit
ed States is liberty. it seems to me a

each prominent man or leader desir-

will be especially bad for Cuba at this
time. as we need foreign capital to
build up our ruined industries, and we
cannot hope to secure it without a sta
BILE form of government. I believe,
however, that in time Cuba would set
tie down to peaceful state, where all
disputes would be referred to the bal
lot and the result acquiesced in. I be-
lieve the Cubans have studied the
United States more carefully than
their South American relatives have.
and will learn more readily to follow
its example"

AUSTRALIA GOES NORTH.
Is Taking Five Hundred People to
the Klondike.

According to the most recent advic-
es from the Coast, the S. S. Australia
was to have sailed from San Francisco
yesterday for Dyea and Skagway, and
is probably now well on her way to
the north. She has been chartered by
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
and will remain in the Klondike trade
all summer, possibly returning to this
route in the fall. after the ice has
blocked the northern travel. The San
Francisco Chronicle says of the Aus
tralia:
"The Australia can carry five hum
dred passengers, and will go through
to the Alaska ports, thus avoiding
the transferring at Seattle, which has
hitherto been necessary on Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's boats.
Many tickets have already been sold,
and it is expected that all her accom-
modations will be taken up before the
date of sailing.
"The Australia can carry more pas
sengers than any steamer now in the
trade"

to remain over here a fortnight were
unable to do so for the lack of accom-
modations.
"When I saw the report" said the

that we had ample accommodations at
the hotel for more than the number
mentioned. The only through pas
sengers who really talked of staying
over We're a gentleman and his wife,
whom Mr. Lucas did not encourage to
stay. because we feared we shall be
crowded by the incoming passengers
on the s. S. Iealandia. OF course, had
they remained over, they could have
had good rooms. We are going to do
all in our power to take care of tour
lists, and | believe that there will be
but few who can afford to pay our pri-
ces who cannot be accommodated. Tt
is injurious to us and to the city to
have such untrue reports go forth"
