REPORT OF GEN. DUMoNr.
He Says the Steamboat Inspection
Service liz Handicapped.

He Saws the Steamboat Inspection
Service In Handicapped.
James A. Dumont who has charge OF
the steamboat inspection service, says IN
his annual report that civil service rules
as applied to this service are failure.
The service was made subject to the regu-
lations of the Civil Service Commission by
the order of President Cleveland, issued
March 2, 1896.
Gen. Dumont says that the commission
apparently does not have a force large
enough to keep up with its current corre-
veniences have resulted. Another cause
of failure of the commissions supervision
of the service is the aversion entertained
by marine men to entering competitive ex-
nations in forty-two districts. but cam
didates presented themselves in only If
teen districts.
The inability of the commission to rate
four months, Gen. Dumont says, causes
great injury to both public and private
interests.
During the year there were thirty-one
accidents, resulting in the loss of 2S3 lives.
Eighty-four were passengers and 1879 were
members of the crews of the vessels.
Passengers carried on vessels inspected
during the year numbered ESQ. 1000, ,000 The
total number of foreign vessels inspected
was s16, gross tonnage LIE, 5,44s; domestic
vessels. s,132, net tonnage 1855. .437.

COFFEE PLANTERS KICK
MEETING OF TAX APPEAL BOARD
SITS IN HILO.
DIR. Russell Argues for the Olaa Plant
ers and Wants Precedent Estab-
lished-May Go to Supreme Court.

At the meeting of the Tax Appe IL
Board on Monday, August 22nd, says
the Hilo Tribune, the coffee planters
who wished to object to what they
believed was an unjust valuation up
peared in person or through DR.. Rus
sci, who acted as their attorney. II. e..
Austin appeared for the assessors.
Messrs. Russell, James, Peck, Motley
and others spoke at length stating
their reasons against the valua lion
for taxation purposes made by the as
SCISSORS.
The basis of the protest is the law
which exempts coffee, coffee machin-
cry and all Improvements on coffee
lands from taxation for certain pc
Rod. Upon this ground the planters
claim that to tax upon a value above
that originally paid by them or very
much above that. is distinct inius-
tice. This Notwithstanding the fact
that the market value of the Olaa Ior-
est lands is as high if not higher titan
set by the assessors, for the cause Of
this increase of value is the work, nl-
provements and success of the r'lnt-
ers themselves, for all of which they
have paid themselves in time, monsy
and hardships, nor has the govern
ment assisted in this one iota. All
the risk has been taken by the plan
ter, and all improvement is due to
him, and to tax the unimproved land
is really but an indirect way of tax
ing the improvements themselves, AMI
renders the law practically dead let
ter. Although the financial interests
at present involved are trifling, the
principle is of the greatest Importance
and may involve much financially f
the assessors continue from year to
year to raise their estimates on I'M
improved land to correspond with the
success met with on improved land.
On the strength of this argument
the Board of Appeals deducted 25 per
cent from the assessors valuation.
This did not, however, seem satisfdc-
tory to the planters present either
in itself or as a precedent for the fu-
ture and DR.. Russell gave notice of
an appeal. Whether the appeal Will
be perfected and carried up to the
Supreme Court will be decided at n
meeting of the coffee planters 10 lie
held in Olaa August 27th, at
the residence of DIR. Russell; at the
same time some other questions of
general interest to the planters will
be discussed, among them the forma-
ton of a coffee planters society.
