FAVORABLE PROSPECTS FOR tHE
PLANTATION.
Cane on the New Lands as Thick as
Mans Arm-The New Mill Complet-
ed at Iron Works.

A gentleman who has just returned
from an extended visit to Lahaina
plantation, the property of. the Pio-
neer Mill Company, furnishes the fol-
lowing facts:
"Lahaina plantation never looked
so well as it does today, and l have
just visited every portion of it, espe-
cially the new lands recently brought
under cultivation. There among the
rocks | saw cane growing as thick
as a mans arm. ] never saw any
cane looking better, not even at Eva.
This coming year cane will be cut
from between 1000 to 1000 acres, and
it will not average less than six tons
to the acre either In the year 1900
there will be from $500 to 1920 acres
of cane to cut, and in 1901 a still fur
ther increase owing to new acreage.
The prospects of the Lahaina planta-
ton are the very best, as so much
new land can be made available by the
increased water supply from the new
pumping plants and artesian wells,
and then the plantation owns nearly
all its acreage, and has no rents to
pay | look for Lahaina to develop
into one of the largest plantations
on the Islands. Let me give you an
idea how it is coming to the front. In
1895 the crop was 1900 tons, in 1896
it increased to 2,7OO tons. In 1897 the
yield of sugar ran up to 1000 tons.
This year it will be $500 tons and
next year, with so much new land in
bearing, the estimate is 10000 TONS
"Then again the plantation will save
money from the new mill, which has
just been completed at the Honolulu
Iron Works. The only question in my
mind is whether the new mill will be
large enough to handle the crop"

CHINESE GARDENS LOOTED
NUMEROUS DEPREDATIONS BY
SOLDIERS.
Much Comment Created-The Police
Force Arranging to Promptly Re-
spond to Reports in the Future.

Marshal Brown called on General
Merriam shortly before o'clock this
afternoon in regard to the depreda-
tions which are being committed by
the soldiers. He will also see Colonel
Barber in regard to the matter.
Every day now seems to have it's
tale of disorderly and marauding con-
duct on the part of some of the Anne
rican soldiers now in camp in Homo
lulu.
Following the depredations commit
ted in Manoa valley yesterday morn
ing, horse belonging to Senator Ce-
Gil Brown was stolen yesterday after
noon. 1t was at pasture near his
home. A number of soldiers came ov-
er and chased the animal around un-
til they caught it, and then led it
away with them. A Chinese in Sena-
tor Browns employ saw them, as did
also a number of natives. The horse
was taken in the direction of the city.
Senator Brown was not able to. find
any trace of it until this afternoon,
when he received word that a horse
answering the description of his was
at large near Camp Mckinley.
The looting in Manoa Galley seems
to have been engaged in by a very
large number of soldiers. All the re-
ports from those who saw any part of
it agree that there must have been at
least a hundred of them. The evil
dence that the soldiers left of their
visit in the way of ruined gardens and
banana skins and pineapple tops on
the roads leading out of the valley,
indicate that there must have been at
least that number.
The gardeners wkho had their gard
ems destroyed were nearly if not quite
all Chinese. AS soon as the soldiers
commenced their pillage, the Chinese
hastened to notify Minister Cooper at
his home. Marshal Brown was also
notified and both he and Minister Coo
per hastened to the scene and, reached
there in time to get indisputable evil
dence that the marauding was done
by soldiers.
These exploits of the soldiers, so diff
ferent from anything that has ever
occurred here either before the first
expedition to Manila passed through
or since up to the present time, has
been the almost engrossing topic of
conversation among citizens. Genuine
alarm is felt at the continuance of
these depredations, which seem to
have an increasing number of partic-
ipants.
Marshal Brown is taking energetic
steps to prevent, so far as he is able
a repetition of these things, by ar
ranging for prompt notice to be given
and force of mounted policemen to
be on hand to answer summons of
this sort. He has also called attention
of the military authorities to the
matter.

WILL SOON END ITS WORK
THE COMMISSION MAY LEAVE ON
THE AUSTRALIA.
The Cabinet Ministers Given a Hear
ing This Morning-Mrs. Hit and
Son are Going to Japan.

The Annexation Commissioners may
leave for home on the Australia, and
are hurrying up their work to that
end.
This mornings session was devoted
to hearing what the Cabinet Ministers
had to say on the situation, but both
Senator Cullom and Congressman Hit
were reticent as to what was said by
them.
There was no afternoon session to-
day. Senator Morgan went direct
from the Executive building to the
Philadelphia and lunched with Admi-
raj Miller.
Senator Cullom said this afternoon
at the hotel: I'VE are taking holi-
day this afternoon and will hold no
session. We had set apart today for
hearing your Cabinet Ministers on
the situation as it exists here, but
they did not take as much time as we
supposed they would. The Commits
sion has decided that Wednesday of
each week as long as we are here,
will be set apart for hearing those
persons who wish to address the Com
mission on subjects under discussion.
If any such should appear the doors
will be thrown open and the public
admitted, but if no one comes the
Commission will keep on with its
work. We don't know that anyone
wants to be heard, but if they do,
please remind them that our time is
getting short.
1--WE had expected to get through
about the Goth of this month, but we
find that we shall have to wait to the
23rd for steamer. This will delay us
longer than we wished, and if posi-
HE we shall leave on the Australia.
We have heard so much of that YES
sci that we should like to go up with
her"
"About your visit to Kauai. Sena-
tor?'' was asked.
81 am afraid we shall not get to
see it," was the answer. eve had ar
ranged to go to Molokai on Friday
night, but Mrs. Hit and her son are
to leave for Japan on the Belgic on
Saturday, so we shall probably not
leave till Saturday night. returning
on Sunday. IF we leave on the Aus
tralia we shall not visit Kauai. but
if we cannot get away till the 23rd,
we may do so.'

ANGLICAN CHURCH MONTHLY.

The Anglican Chronicle for Septem-
ber is to hand and contains some in
teresting information with regard to
the status of the Episcopal church in
Hawaii. According to the Church
Standard at the coming general con-
vention the necessary legal steps for
its affiliation with the American
church" will have to be taken, "for of
course it cannot remain English" The
editor gives some interesting notes of
his visit abroad for rest and recrea-
ton. He seems struck with the pros
perity of California. The remainder
of the magazine is filled with the
usual church intelligence from all
parts of the world.

A BRAVE RESCUE.
Drake of Company X Engineers Corps
Saves a Life.

The prompt action of w. H. c..
Drake of Company X of the engineer
corps, at the Sans Souci bathing es-
tablishment, at Waikiki beach, avert
ed what would otherwise have proved
a sad case of drowning, on Saturday
morning.
Two of the employees of the steam
ship Coptic had been in bathing, and
had swan out to the stand erected on
the reef, about 800 yards from shore.
On starting to return, one of them
found it impossible to make much
headway against the tide, which has
been very high and was running out
strongly, and being poor swimmer
soon became exhausted.
Drake, who stood on the platform
by the bath house, heard his cries for
assistance He arrived none too soon
for the succor of the panic stricken
man, who had already sunk once.
The rescuer, who is strong and
powerful swimmer, had his hands
full in bringing the helpless man to
shore, and needed the assistance of
his companions the last hundred feet
of the distance.
The victim of his own foolhardiness
recovered sufficiently to be returned
to his ship in hack in about an
hours time.
w. H. C. Drake is member of Com
pany X of the engineers, of English
birth, and entered at Salt Lake City,
Utah. He is of powerful and athletic
build. This is the third person he has
saved from drowning

GOODMNSFROMAHA|NA FOR SATURDAYS RACES
LEILANIS WILL NOT PUT IN A
JUNIOR CREW.
Railroad Arrangements to be Settled
This Afternoon-All the Crews are
Working Hard for the Events.

AS the time for the annual boat ra-
ces approaches interest is on the in
crease. The railroad authorities and
representatives of the three clubs
will confer this afternoon and try to
arrange a train service that will give
general satisfaction. The time for
the starting of the races will also be
settled today.
At the training quarters at Pearl
Harbor the usual practice goes on
night and morning. Ross of the Myr-
ties, who was under the weather on
Friday and Saturday, is all right
again today. The two Myrtle crews
take an hours spin over the course
every evening, but are not doing much
in the mornings, as the time is limit
ed. The same may be said of the
Healanis.
The Lealanis will only row in the
senior race, as Prince David, who was
to be stroke of the junior crew, is un-
able to take part owing to the in
creasing infirmities of the Queen
Dowager. A. L. C. Atkinson is in
charge of the crew. which consists of
Prince Cupid, stroke: John Lane,
Sam Woods. and William. a native
boy, and he says they will make a
good showing. Considering the time
they have been rowing they pull well
together and are improving daily
They are doing plenty of hard work,
being out every night and morning.
Comment having been made that
Jack" Atkinson, who is a member
of the Healani Club, should be coach
ing a rival crew, he said today: 81
am helping the Leilanis out in the
interest of good sport. 1t is to the
interest of all lovers of boating to
keep three clubs going and as many
more as we can get. | don't know Of
any objection being made to my do
ing so. Whether the Lealanis win this
year or not cuts no figure. They will
have had the benefit of the training
and practical experience and will be
that much ahead for next years
races, when we all hope they will be
in good shape for both events"
The Leilanis are certainly fortu-
nate in securing the benefit of Mr..
Atkinson's instructions. He was for
three years prominent in the Univer-
sity of Michigan Athletic Association.
representing the faculty on the board
of control, besides being a member of
the board of directors. He was also
on the student board of directors.
The university association controls
all football and baseball games and
all track athletics. In 1898 he was
made manager of the university base
ball team. In the first year after
leaving here he participated in the
NVhnnl re i'm tho t,ixrarcif,r
tests, scoring a point for Michigan
against Wisconsin, North Western,
Illinois, Minnesota and Perdue uni
'versities, aggregating $4,000 stu
dents. He is opposed to the introduc-
ton of the professional element in
university contests, and during his
three years at Michigan was one of
the hardest workers against it.

MAIL FOR THE SOLDIERS
POSTMASTER GENERAL OATS
OFFICES.
Undertakes a Big job That the
Boys May Get Their Mail az the
Earliest Moment.

The soldiers in Manila and the SCI
diers who came here on the Arizuna
will have Postmaster General OaT to
thank for getting their mail good
deal quicker than they would have
done without his good offices.
Owing to the changes in orders due
to the peace negotiations just before
the Arizona and the Scandia sailed,
all mail for the soldiers which it was
supposed would - 10 Manila was put
aboard them directed to Manila. As
the men on the Arizona are % stop
here the mail that was directed tu
them and put aboard the Scandal
would have gone on to Manila and
then come back before reaahing it's
destination, if Mr.. Oat had not come
to the rescue.
When informed of the situation, he
agreed to have the mail nnloatled
here, passed through the Honolulu
postoffice and sorted, all mail for sol
ders in organizations now here being
taken out and delivered. The re-
mainder, that for which Manila IS
really the destination will be pat
aboard the Arizona, which it IS ex-
pected will sail before the Scandia,
and so will reach the soldier boys
several days earlier than it otherwise
would.
All this will involve a great deal of
work, but it will be great tonven-
ience to the soldiers.
The work of unloading the mail
from the Scandia began this morning.
The Arizona herself brought about
$4,000 letters addressed to Manila he
sides about three tons of papers for
the soldier boys. The Arizona will
sail just as soon as she can be got
ready which may be tomorrow It is
not thought the Scandal will be able
TO get away much before Saturday.
They are both fast sailers.

why not buy a singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
