THAT 4 GOOD MANY PEOPLE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE.
Result of Wray Taylor's Investigation
on Hawaii's Plantations-Statistics
on Desertions During the Year.

1t would appear that there was
more in the recent conference be-
tween the planters and the govern
ment on the labor question than has
come to the surface. Hints have
been dropped here and there to the
effect that some of the plantations
were virtually on trial before the
Council on charges of i'll treatment of
laborcrS, through managers and lu-
mas. BE this as it may, it is known
that one plantation was refused any
more laborers until satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION is made of the wholesale
desertions which have taken place in
the last few months, amounting, it is
said, to nearly 200. There are ru-
mors of laborers being punished for
laziness in a way not contemplated
by the statute, and the facts connect
ed with these are well known to The
Star staff.
1t is understood that Goo Kim, the
Chinese Consul, has been taking a
great deal of interest in the treatment
of Chinese laborers and that he lately
made such a showing to the govern
ment that Wray Taylor was dispatch
ed post haste to Hawaii to investigate.
Mr.. Taylor's report is now in the
hands of President Dole. Asked for a
synopsis of its contents, Mr.. Taylor
declined to crafty the reporters Gu
riosity. He admitted, however, in an
swer to direct questions, that he had
been sent to Hawaii to investigate
certain charges of wholesale deser-
tion of laborers on Paauhau and Ho-
nokaa plantations, and incidentally to
procure statistics from all the planta-
tions on the Island with reference to
desertions and their causes. The de-
lay in presenting his report was due
to the non-arrival of some of these
statistics from plantation managers,
until a day or two since. The nature
of his report and the result of his
| Investigations, Mr., Taylor positively
declined to discuss. He had delivered
the report to the Minister of the In
terror, but hardly thought it would
be published
Minister King was asked about the
report later. He said that he had read
it through and had decided that the
! Executive Council ought to take cog
nizance of it. For that reason he
had personally delivered it to Presi.
dent Dole, who had not yet brought
it up for consideration. The Minister
declined to discuss the contents of the
report.

HALYARDS FOR 7HE FLAG FOURTH EXPEDITION GONE
BROUGHT DOWN BY ADMIRAL
MILLER YESTERDAY.
Handsome Donation of a San Fran
cisco Wire Rope Manufacturing
Firm, which Appreciates Islands.

Admiral Miller brought down 200
feet of quarter inch phosphar bronze
wire tiller rope, with proper thim-
bles spliced in for halyards, for the
flag raising, the donation of the Wash
burn d Moen Manufacturing Company
of San Francisco, in token of their
appreciation of the friendly relations
they have had with f. 0. Hall d Sons,
their local agents, and the lucrative
trade the firm enjoys with the Is
lands.
In letter to President Dole ac-
companying the gift they ask to be
permitted to furnish the halyards for
the flag raising, being the only wire
rope manufacturers on the Pacific
coast Not being able to reach the
President by cable they sought the
desired permission from Admiral Mil
Ter, who gave it readily, provided that
other arrangements had not been
made here.
Phosphor bronze Is the strongest
metal that was ever put into wire rope
and will last for many years. The
rope sent down is worth about dol
lar a foot; it is as soft and flexible as
a silk thread.
In case it is preferred the doners
of the rope express their readiness, af-
ter the rope has served its purpose, to
convert it into souvenirs for presen-
tation to the officials present.
For this purpose they offer to
have the rope nickel or silver plated
and polished and cut into small pie
ces, having a silver plated ferrule
placed on each piece of rope giving a
short history of the occasion, "thus
serving as a pleasant souvenir of the
momentous event that makes the Ha-
waian Islands a part of this glorious
republic"
Colonel Soper had previously asked
the privilege of furnishing the hal
yards required and had procured 400
yards of the best cotton rope for the
purpose. In view of the generous Of
fer of the San Francisco firm he has
waived whatever claims he had 1t
will be necessary. however, to use
both ropes, as the plan is to hoist
"the' flag from the front of the
steps of the Executive building and
others on the four corner towers. The
manufacturers offered to furnish SOC
feet of wire rope but Consul Wilder
thought 200 feet would be plenty.

IS IT TRUE?

Colonel George w. Macfarlane, ac-
cording to the San Francisco Call, is
quoted as authority for the statement
that ''as soon as the flag is raised at
Honolulu an organized strike of gigan-
tic poportions will sweep over the Is
lands, impeding the working of plan
tations and the manufacturing of SUI
gar. He says that he has received
this news from the best authority and
that there is not only a strong prob
ability of labor entanglements but
that the seeds of dissension have al
ready been sown and the product is
ready to spring forth at any mo-
ment. The present rate of wages is
about $40 month. The strike will
be made for very nearly double that
sum-"

WHY NOT BUY A SINGER?

You wan a sewing machine? Then
why not buy a singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light

the Singer will not admit of cut prl-

GREAT " STAKED PLAINS. )"
vast Changes Wrought During the
Last Sixteen Years.

The vast changes that have been
mace out on the great "staked plains
the last sixteen years are phenomenal.
says the st. Louis Globe e-Democrat
Ihat large eXpanse of unbrollen prairie
derived Its name from the MeXicans
and Indians, who called it "Llano Es-
tacado' long before the advent of the
Americans. The scarcity of water dur
ing the summer months rendered If n
dangerous matter to attempt the Jour
ney across them, and it is known that
many caravans of MeXicans in early
days making their way from the Rio
Grande into New Mexico perishe J
among their sandy wastes. For many
years after the country on every side
mad been in measure settled uD the
plains were looked upon as a sort of
forbidden region, the epitOme of every
thing that was inhospitable in nature
and totally useless for supplying any
of the wants of man. Those adventur-
Gus individuals who ventured far into
its dangerous depths reported it tree
less, silent waste, without a sign of life
except the buzzards that circled high
in the heavens, or the coyote that hur-
ried across the trail and disappeared
like flash among the sagebrush and
tall grass that lined the banks of the
dry arroyos. Huge whirlwinds would
appear to block the way for a time
and then hurry off, as if disturbed by
the presence of men in those grim soli-
tudes. In the early morning wreaths of
dust went spinning around before the
breeze, as if some desert sands had
arisen and had just begun TO envelop
the great eXpanse.
The last case known of any one per-
ishing on the plains was in 1890. when
two Americans and one Mexican. q
sheep herder, attempted to make theil
way from Pecos City to Amarillo in
midsummer, and, being poorly provs.
ioned with water and losing the trail
as well, soon died of thirst, as did their
horses. A peculiar feature of this acct
dent was that, although the coyotes
and buzzards had picked the bones of
the Americans clean, the body of the
Mexican had baked and dried in the
sun and was practically intact, owing
to the fact that the diet of the MeXi-
cans on the border is always composed
in great part of chile and red pepper,
