TO EXTEND WEATHER BUREAU.
Efficiency of Its servic. Will Soon BE
Greatly Increased.

Greatly Increased.
President Mckinley has on his desk the
draft of an order for making the greatest
extension of the weather bureau service
ever made in its history. The general
deficiency bill carried an appropriation OF
$4,000 to enable the President, in his
discretion, to authorize the establishment
of observing and reporting stations at va
rious points on the Caribbean sea, but
the promulgating of the order has been
withheld pending the conclusion of nego-
tiations with the Governments interested
for the right to locate observers and sta
tions. These have mostly responded fa-
vorably, and in a few days the order is ex-
pected.
The scheme contemplates the. location OF
stations on the island of Trinidad, Mt st.
Kipps. Barranquila, the islands of Cura-
Goa. Martinique, Hayti, the Barbados
and San Domingo. There are already in
operation stations ut st. Thomas, Kings
ton, Jamaica and Havana. The latter
has not been interrupted a single day

posed belt Of stations shall have been 10
Gated and are in operation the entire coas-

FOR IDAHO'S REDEMPTION.

The pOrtentous news is waited up
from Idaho Falls that there the two
factions of the Republican party have
united for good government-munici-
pal, county and State. There was no
FORMAL diCkering over offices. or anv
sort of trade whatever. The elements
just naturally came together, mingled
and blended. Throughout Bingham
county the name Silver Republican has
been dropped, ana the organization is
virtually extinct. Different reasons by
different individuals are assigned for
this change of condition. Some of the
ex-Silver Republicans feel outraged at
the attempt of Fred Dubois to dump
them into the Democratic party, while
others are equally offended at Willis
Sweets attempt to bury them amidst
the decisions Of Populism, Moreover,
they all agree upon two important
propositions: First, that the Silver Re.
publican party is in its expiring throes;
and second, that the paramount issue
IN the coming campaign is to rescue
the State from the horrible nightmare
into which it was plunged by the re-
form union. The correctness and wis
dom of these conclusions cannot be
doubted for one moment. Tie issue in
the coming can paign will be, and
ought to be, the Redemption of Idaho

cents in American money when ap- piled to obtaining the necessaries of life is relatively less than sixty cents would be in the United States. In other words, the laboring man in Mex ico must support and clOthe his fam ily and educate his children on sixty cents a day. The fact is that living in Mexico among the poorer classes is simply a struggle for existence.
 While in Mexico I was asked by a prominent gentleman this question: Does MT. Bryan think if your govern ment should adopt the policy of free coinage of silver at the ration of 16 to 1 it could maintain silver as now on a parity with gold?' I replied that while MT. Bryan had never said so in so many words, he had said that he thought that was matter that could be regulated by law, which, per haps, might be tantamount to such declaration. He replied that MT. Bryan ought to know that such re-
 suit would be impossible, if you un- dertook to coin all the silver that was taken to your hints, without restrlc- tion. He said it was as impossible to regulate the price of silver by law as it was that of wheat or any other
 
 also there was a strong sentiment in
 Mexico in favor of the gold standard and that in his opinion there would l be no real substantial national pro gress until the silver basis was done away with. I asked him why Mexico could not do as the United States did,
 have a bimetallic standard; that is,
 both gold and silver. He said it was
 because they had very little gold and
 it took all they had to pay for foreign 1 importations and the duties upon them.
 That Mexico was not seller, but
 buyer, and that the balance of trade
 was continually against them.
 "In the United States, he said, 1 it is different. There the exports
 on account of it's protective tariff, al
 ways exceeded it's imports and it could keep it's gold which is the only money
 of the civilized world at home. Now | this is important only as showing how
 an intelligent foreigner looks upon a protective tariff and currency that is
 sound and so recognized by the civil
 ized nations of the earth. I told him our free silver advocates thought that to make the coinage free would in crease the volume of money among the people, thus making redundancy of the circulating medium, which they claimed was necessary to national prosperity. He said that was an er-
 TOT. It would, he said, result first in
 driving all of your gold out of circu-
 lation and place your paper currency
 on par with silver, and at once put
 you on a silver basis. I fully agreed
 with all the gentleman said, yet I felt hurt to be compelled to admit that a | foreigner and a citizen of what people call a semi-civilized nation should l have sounder views upon economic questions than several million voters of the greatest and most intelligent
 nation on earth.''

 The accused held the highest rank in the naval pay corps, has host Of friends and never before has been sus- pected of misconduct. The ofense charged against him was in connec- nection with the supply to the navy of an emergency ration. It was shown that he, as patentee of such ration, had turned it over to a stock com pany, in which he retained an interest, although he had officially denied the interest, and that he had been instru- mental in selling the ration to the goV- ernment. The amount of profit at stake was so small as to make his con- duct lneXplicable to the department.

JUDGE PERRYS NC|S|ONO OLE SOLENS HARD CASE
FAVORABLE TO THE HAWAIIAN
COMMERCIAL co.
Judgment for Plaintiff for the Resti-
tuition of the Property Claimed and
for Costs of Suit.

Judge Perry has decided the eject
ment suit of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company VS.. the Kahului
Railway Company in favor of the
plaintiff. In this action the plaintiff
claims of the defendant the restitu-
ton of certain land situated on the
Island of Maui. At the trial plaintitf
proved by undisputed evidence that
the land in controversy is part Of
certain land granted to Claus Spreck-
els by royal patent, and by Claus
Spreckels and wife conveyed to the
plaintiff corporation. This. the judg-
ment says, is a complete, prima facie
showing of documentary title in the
plaintiff, and other necessary aver
ments in the complaint are also sub
stantiated.
The defences presented are that by
a written instrument not dated but
acknowledged September 20, 1879. the
plaintiffs grantor Claus Spreckels.
leased the strip of land in question to
the defendants predecessor, Thomas
H. Hebron, for term ending July /,
1908, and therefore the documentary
title is now in defendants; that by a
written instrument, dated February
26, 1898, plaintiff has conveyed to the
Maui Railroad and Steamship Com
pany, a foreign corporation doing bus
mess in these Islands the land in dis
pute and consequently cannot bring
this action; that plaintiff is estopped
from claiming the land by allowing
the defendant to use it for long
term of years, etc.
Judge Perry says he knows of no
reason why the law of estoppel
should be modified in any degree in
favor of railroad companies and finds
that the plea of estoppel has not been
established. For this and other rea-
sons he gives judgment for the plain
tiff for the restitution of the property
claimed and for costs.
