MIR. CASSIDY BUYS MATERIAL FOR
NEW STATION.
VIII Prevent Induction Toward Beach
Settlement-The Manager in East
ern Cities.

John Cassidy was at the Office of the
Mutual Telephone Company this
morning, having returned by the Chi
ma last evening from a tour of some
thing like two months in the states.
While abroad he visited all of the big
cities that have experienced or solv-
ed the problem of overhead electric
and telephone wires.
From San Francisco / went over
the Sunset route" said Mr. Cassidy,
"to Louisiana, my intention being to
visit New Orleans. | was turned back
however on account of the yellow fe-
yer. and went via Houston and st.
Louis to the north and east. In Chi
cago. New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Pittsburg and other large
cities 1 visited all the telephone man
ayers and the manufacturers. My OBJ
ect was to CLEAN from their eXperien-
ces the best means of remedying our
troubles here"
In the east Mr.. Cassidy purchased
switchboard for a new office it is
proposed to establish at Waikiki. This
improvement will do away with 100
wires, or 400 miles of line. and will
thoroughly prevent induction i'm that
quarter OF the town, where. too, IT has
long been very bad. Eight pairs of
copper lines will connect this subur-
ban station with the town. They will
be packed in the most approved man
ner, shutting off any possibility of in
duction.
The small house on the town side of
the bridge near the park will be oc-
cupied by the new exchange. One op-
orator will be kept there. this being
sufficient force to manage it. Mr.. Cas-
sidy expects that the new switchboard
will be shipped from San Francisco in
the course of two months.
Punahou will be benefited also by
the extra station. As soon as possi-
bic general improvements to the main
system will be made.
Mr.. Cassidy looks well, although the
trip was one of more hard work than
| pleasure.

PLAN PROPOSED IN PLANTATION
REPORT.
New President of the Hawaiian Com
mercial Company Points to the Phil
ippines for Labor Supply.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 17.-Ed-
ward Pollitz, the new president of the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar COM
pany, together with the recently cleo
ted directors, held a special meeting
on Friday last and voted against In
creasing the capital stock from $10,-
100000 to $15,O0O,O00.
President Pollitz submitted report
that showed a matured debt of $780,
49152: liabilities to mature on June
30, 1899, $247 ,975; total. $644, 1862. The
assets amount to 1857, ,264 On this uc-
count the company will be in debt on
January 1, 1899. S2S7 ,2O2.52. The val
tie of the sugar crop for the season
now at hand is placed at $1,194,250.
President Pollitz therefore thinks the
company is in a splendid financial con-
dition
The report speaks of the good to
come from the annexation of Hawaii,
and the abolition of the contract labor
system on the sugar plantations. Con-
tinuing he says:
The probable annexation of the
Philippine Islands to the United States
will forever remove the danger of the
scarcity of labor in Hawaii. The ma
tives of the Philippines are accustom-
ed to a climate similar to that of Ha-
waii, many of them are already famil-
lar with cane sugar cultivation, they
have been receiving up to this time a
mere pittance for their labor, not
more than S. in gold a month, they
have the capacity to become efficient
laborers, and they can be obtained in
almost unlimited numbers. This at
tractive new field for Philippine Ia
Dor will no doubt draw more than
enough to meet the demand of all the
| plantations. A new source of labor
supply for Hawaii has thus been op-
ened up by the conquest of the Phil
ippines.
w. j. Lowrie of Eva plantation, was
chosen to manage the plantation un-
der the new regime and Alexander &
Baldwin were made the Honolulu ag-
| ents.

France Must Back Down or After
Eighty Years of Peace There will be

LONDON, October 19.-Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, chancellor of the eX-

this evening, announced that the gov
ernment had opened negotiations with
the French with u view of securing to
the subjects of the various powers the
right of developing the respective
spheres in which each country is in

Regarding the Fashoda question he
said he wished cordially to aclInowl-

matter.
ut is impossible" he said, "for
France to maintain that she has any
rights in Fashoda. She asked for time
to receive Major Marchand's report,
but until the contrary is proved
decline to believe that France will re-
fuse to withdraw. If she refused, the
matter would assume an aspect as
grave as it is possible between two
great nations.
1.-The government is animated by the
friendliest spirit towards France and
What we desire is fair treatment. Oui
work in Egypt is not completed. At
rica is big enough for us both-for
France in the west and ourselves In
the east. Surely we ought to be able
to agree to respect one another's just
rights and claims.
II hope, trust and believe the ques
ton is capable of a friendly solution
but this country has put her foot
down. If unhappily another view
should be taken by France, the queens

"It would be great calamity if, af

TROUBLE ON THE TACOMA.
Disagreement Between the Ships Cap
tain and Lieutenant Cameron.

tain and Lieutenant Cameron.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 1.-THE
ship Tacoma is going back to Homo
lulu and from there will proceed to
Manila, resuming the voyage that was
broken by order of General Merriam.
Two of the principal people who
were on the last voyage of the Taco
ma will be missed when the yessel
sails. Lieutenant Cameron has been
ordered to West Point as instructor of
drawing. Captain Davis has been re-
lieved of his command, and Captain
Peterson will go in charge of the Ia
coma. Strange stories are being told
about that eventful trip from Homo
lulu. One thing is known: For once
the captain of an American vessel was
called down on his own ship. Captain
Davis took exception to some things
and reminded the cavalry officer that
he was in command of the ship. Lieu
tenant Cameron retorted by saying
that he was in command of the expe-
dition, and that the captain was for
the time being in the employ of the
government. AS the governments
representative Lieutenant Cameron in
to conform to his ideas.
On the orders of Lieutenant Gamer
on Captain Davis was locked up in his
cabin, and there remained two days.
The first mate took charge of the ship
during the captains Incarceration, not
caring to question the lieutenant's au-
thority, backed up by nearly fifty of
the troopers.
The matter was referred to Wash
! ington, and when the government de-
| termined TO send the Tacoma out once
more the owners were told that an
other captain must go in command.
| The Alaska Packers Association, the
owners of the vessel, think great
deal of Captain Davis, but it was a
case of lose the captain or lose the
charter. They ordered the captain
ashore and will probably find him an
other berth.
Lieutenant Cameron's assignment to
West Point was made before he re-

plantation is figured at between 5000
and 10000 tons this year as against
5000 tons last year. Under the new
management of Hans p. Faye the ac-

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and it's
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from a business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma

ness. Another Chicago woman, Mrs.
Florence H. Frost. has had q thorny
