ACEYLON PLANTER
Believes This Country
Better for Coffee.
Heard of Hawaii While Travelling
and Has InVested-A Colombo
Paper Makes Comment,

In the Tropical AgriculturaIist,
periodical published at Colombo, Cey-
lon and received here regularly by Jos.
Marsden is copied from another paper
a most favorable mention of the Olaa
coffee district. This arises from the
recent purchase, by Mr.. Hawke OF Cey-
lon, of the Sumter coffee estate on the
Volcano road for the sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Hawke will soon return to Hawaii
to take charge Of his property. He is,
of course, a man Of much experience
in the coffee industry. The Colombo
paper says:
MIR. Hawke of Orion, who is con-
stantIy making trips abroad from Cey-
lon, returned yesterday after visiting
a mart of the world that CeylOn men
do not often reach. Leaving Ceylon
his intention was to travel via China
and Japan to America, and so on &c
Europe. China he did not like, but he
thought Japan pleasant and stayed
there two months, going on to San
| Francisco via Honolulu. On his way
! TO San Francisco a fellow passenger
on the steamer. revealed himself as Mr.
Game. formerly Of CeylOn, and tolo
him how we'll he was doing as coffee
planter in Hawaii. Mr.. Hawke was Sc
| interested that when he reached SaI
Francisco he went back TO Hawaii, ant
he now returns from there perfectly
enamored of the place. He says tht
Islands are most suitable for coffee
planting and a good acreage is alread!
under cultivation, growing in a rlcl
volcanic sofia soil that could not b'
be found in CeylOn anywhere. LaDo
is plentiful, shipping facilities are eX
ceIIent and Hawaiian coffee is fetching
80 shillings a hundred weight. He ma
secured 400 acres of land at an eleVa
ton of 1000 feet and he returns to Cey
ION to make arrangements to sell Orl
an estate and settle down in the Sand
wich isles to plant up his new prop
erty. Almost all the coffee there /

been a success and Wilson is TO be
congratulated on his enterprise and

HEARTLESS REPORTERS.
Reused Woman nnd Told Her
Brutality CT the Names De-
strUctiOn.

A painful instance of the methods
employed by some Washington report
ers to gather information happened 10
the wife of Observation-Disclosures
Wainwright, the executive officer of the
Maine, says the Boston Herald: The
ship was destroyed early in the even
lug, and no person in Washington knew
OF it till several hours later. Mrs. Vain
wright, who is in delicate health, was
walked about four in the morning by
a violent knocking and pounding at the
door of her house, and imagining it
TO be merely idle boys trying to he mis-
chievous, she took no notice of the
noise. But it increased so violently
that finally Mrs. Wainwright rose and
ooked out of the window, asking what
was the matter. n
a voice called out: Are you the
wife of Lieutenant-Comma Vain
wriGht?" "Tes, what do you want ?''
''The Maine has been totally destroyed.
We are reporters and wish for some in
formation about Mr.. Wainwright"
Only this and nothing more. The shock
caused the poor lady to fall in a dead
faint, from which she did not rally for
several hours, and, fortunately for her,
it was then known her husband was
not among the lost. The suspense for
other members of the household may
he understood, and Indignation at this
hcartless announcement Of the disaster
to one so deeply interested has been
freely expressed in all circles of Wash
ington society.

JAPAN'S GOLD EXPERIMENT.

While Republicans arc trying to
make the people of the United States
believe that the gold standard is a
good thing. Japan Is learning lesson
ofdistress through adopting the creed
of gold. Industrial conditions III the
Flowery kingdom have passed from
bad to worse, and the year 1897 was
marked by the greatest depression in
manufacturing circles. In his report
on Japan's Industrial condition, A.
II. Hay, OF the British legation at
Toxic says: "The cotton spinning
industry, ON which such great hopes
were based, has already suffered
severely. At the end OF the year
many Of the mills were financially in
a precarious condition and several
small concerns in state Of bank
ruptcy." In commenting on this re-
port, the London Financial News re-
marks: "Ghese are the very mills
whose prosperity not many months
ago we were able to cite as indica ting
hoS comfortably silver using coun.
try could compete with Lancashire.
In tho early part of last year the
Japanese spnners were doing uncom-
monty well, and the belief that all the
surplus yarn would find ready mar
ket in China was being realized.
The years exports ofy arm to China
reaceed 40.36G,329 pounds, against
only 15.256.ll6 pounds in 1896. The
future seemed roseate. but, in Mr..
Hays words, "the adoption of a gold
standard in October, together with
the fall in silver and the enhanced
cost OF labor and fuel, doomed these
expectations to disappointment"
There we have cause and effect bet
alongside III way that should i'm.
press the Indian government, il it
can for n moment emerge from its
own narrow preoccupatlons so far as
to look on currency and exchange as
factors influencing the whole life and
prosperity OF country, and not
merely the settlement Of for eign
debt charge. Japan is paying dearly
for its desire to initiate tile "most civ
ilized nations" and placing itself on
gold standard. Foreign trade has
fallen off, man ufacturing has declin-
ed, and just at present a panic is
threatening the country. Truly the
gold standard is good thing-to let
alone.-Chicago Dispatch.
