THE THIRD EXPEDITION
will Arrive in a Week or So.

Major General Merritt, u. S. A.,
spent nearly two hours yesterday at
Camp Merritt in consultation with
Major General Otis in regard to
closing up the details OF the third
Manila expedition, and later in the
day he issued an order to General
Otis designating the troops that are
to compose the brigade, which will
be commanded by Brigadier Gen
eral King.
The order names the troops as
follows: The two battalions of the
Idaho Volunteers; the Thirteenth
Minnesota Regiment of Volunteer
Infantry; two battalions North
Dakota Volunteers; the Seventh
California Regiment of Volunteers;
the Wyoming Battalion Of Volun
teers, and two batteries--G and L.
of the Third United States Artillery
compounded by Captain Benjamin
Fl. Randolph and Captain E.
Brikhimer, respectively. These
troops will be transported by the
steamers Morgan City, City OF Para,
Ohio, Indiana and Valencia, all Of
which are being put in readiness
for the reception OF the men as
rapidly as possible, under the direc-
ton OF Major Long, the depot
quartermaster, who is rushing the
coal and supplies on board in the ex.
pectation of having this work COM
pleted by next Wednesday. The ex-
act date of sailing has not yet been
fixed, but it will probably be not
later than the end of next week.

Dispatches from Washington state
that one of OF the strongest obstac-
les to the annexation of the
Sandwich Island group to the Unit
ed States is to be found in the op-
position of Speaker Reed to the
measure. We do not often findiour-
selves in agreement with the Gear
of the House of Representatives;
but, in this instance, we are glad to
be in full accord with him, and trust
he will maintain the position he has
taken as determinedly as ever en-
forced the rules from which he
derives his legislative soubrquet,-

FRIDAY, JULY l, 1898.

We.hear a great deal about diversi-
fed industries and the people in
the country districts are daily told
to go into farming and fruit raising.
N o practical steps have been taken
to encourage the small farmer.
There is at present a great demand
for LINES, alligator pears and other
fruits in Honolulu, but the supply
is far below the demand. Mr., D. G.
Camarinos, the well-known fruit
merchant, stated to-day that in
spite of his urgent requests to the
"small" farmers to cultivate the
fruits OF the country, he is unable to
get enough lines, ETC., to supply the
numerous steamers and ships call
ing at this port, besides the regular
customers of the town. "The peo-
pie on the other islands seem to be
asleep" said Mr.. Camarinos, "and
lacking in energy in a deplorable
degree. We import from California
potatoes, lines and oranges which
can and ought to be raised here.
After while, l suppose, we will
have to import even melons, cocoa
nuts, tomatoes and figs. The only
thing that we need never import is
sugar cane. Hawaii is all sugar and
nothing else" Mr.. Camarinos is
about correct.

THE AUDIT ACT.

A correspondent asks us, how the
new Audit Act will effect the exist
ing laws relating to the garnisheeing
Of the salaries of Government Of
ficials. We have not studied the
new law very carefully, but it seems
to US that the garnishee law must
cease to operate in numerous in
stances. Under that law it is dis
tinctly specified, on which official
the garnishee process shall be serv-
ed, it is in fact on the heads Of de-
partments, bureauz, ETC., who are
supposed to act as pay masters.
Now all salaries are to be paid by
the Minister of Finance after the
salary warrants, issued by the heads
OF the departments, have received
the endorsement of the Auditor
General. That official does not pay
a single cent to any official, and
we doubt that process of garnishee
against him would have any effect
in a Court of Justice. There are
those who hold that the proper
official to serve writ of garnishee
on, is the Minister of Finance, but
as long as the present law is in
effect, we fail to see how that can
be done in most instances. Let us
suppose, as an illustration, that a
beneficiary under the Board Of
Health is sued for debt and the
President of the Board is served
with a garnishee. He will simply
answer. that he has no money for
the man sued, and that he never
pays him money. The Auditor-Gen-
eral will say the same, and the Min
lister OF Finance will simply point to
the law now in existence, which pro-
vides that all garnishees against
beneficiaries under the Board Of
Health shall be served on the Presi-
dent of the Board, The question is
naturally OF interest to the business
community and should be settled
before the Legislature prorogues.

The Twelfth Ward improvement Assoc
citation held its first meeting in the
new quarters, spitznagels Hall, Lincoln

/ following new members were elected
Herman 10th, No. 225 Hutton street; S.

der, No. 1873 Hutton street; Fred sauser,

Zabriskie street.
Fred Bugash was elected to the office Of
Secretary, made vacant by the resignation
of Carl Pankopf.
e. M. Geibelt, Chairman Of the Park
Committee, expressed a fear that Of the
1900 appropriated for parks, about 5000
only would be available for the Twelfth
ward. He thought that $4,000 at least
would be needed to prop up the Ogden
avenue park to prevent its slipping down
into Hoboken.
AS the committee seemed to be unable TO
effect any progress it was dismissed
Mr.. Geibelt then wanted to know
the Fire House Committee had to say for
itself. f.. M. Bugash said that Commits
sioner Heppenheimer had told him the
ward WOuld surely Stt tfiG uoaSS.
Geibelt replied that Commissioners Mills
had told him that there would not be
enough Of the appropriation left after the
down town section had been attended to.
After a little argument on the subject
Mr.. Geibelt gracefully retired by saying,
ssOF, well, ] guess he must have lied to.

A motion to reduce the number Of mem
bers necessary to form a quorum from
twelve 10 eight was carried.
Complaints were heard Of the wretched
condition of streets on the slope, and a
committee was appointed to report on the
matter and notify the Street end Water
Board. Nj. Geibelt made a motion Tor 9
constitutional amendment that al officers
OF the association must attend two corr

wrestling with their thoughts for q few

JOY IN Gel ERYVILLE.
GreenviIleites Still Celebrating
the Jackson Avenue Troll
Iey's Sure Advent.

The news that the NORTH Jersey Street
Railway Company has decided to carry
out its plans for the construction of the
proposed Jackson avenue trolley line has
brought joy to the hearts of the resi-
dents of the west side, especially those
living at the extreme end of the city.
There was some doubt as to whether the
Traction Company would be in a position
to build the proposed road this fall, but
all such fears have been set at rest by
Vice President David Young. Mr.. Young
said Yesterday, when questioned by a
News reporter, that he thought the
road would be built this fall.
1--WE hope to go ahead with the work
at the earliest possible date" said he.
THE material for the construction Of
tracks and switches has not yet arrived,
but we expect it shortly
The Greenville residents had come to-
the conclusion that the road never would
be built, and that all their efforts in
agitating the project had been in vain.
All admit tina such an improvement Will
tend to greatly benefit property on the
west side. Heretofore the residents have
been almost entirely cut off from direct
communication with the rest of the city,
as the distance Of the Ocean avenue car
line is very nearly a mile. h walk in
winter has few pleasures.
Just what route the eompa will Sc
lect has not yet been decided upon, but
this will not retard the progress of road
building. The track will be laid on jack
son avenue as far as that t-horoughfare
runs but probably by that time the route
az the Greenville end will be decided upon.
A belt will be formed when this line is
built. Mr.. Young said he though the road
would reach a point at Gates avenue near
the Boulevard and then turn up Gates
avenue to the Grcenviile terminal. One
thing the residents may rest assured OF
and that is that the company viii hurry
the work with all speed.

the State, he ~Intiraates that some legisla-
ton VIII be asked concerning the pres
emit method Of governing the city, or, in
the guarded language Of Mr.. Coult, we
should consider whether the laws under
which we exercise the powers OF local
government may not be improved" Mr..
coult, Of course, believes in a concentra-
ton of power.
Experience has convinced most Of US,
he said, that the concentration of power
in this small Board Ohe Street and
Water Board has been for the benefit
Of the city, Then Mr.. Coult goes on to
give US a glimpse Of the colored gentle
man in the wood pile, as he says:-'I
would even go further in the same direc-
tion. I see no reason why the powers
now lodged in numerous boards ana
bodies should not be conferred upon the
board or body to which all legislative
power is given. Such a body, consisting
of twelve or fifteen members, OF even q
less number, elected by the people, hold
ing their Office for a reasonable length
the terms of office of its members SO
expiring that the people could change the
personnel of the board within a reason
able period. From such a body wise and
careful legislation could be obtained and
a harmony in administration secured,
while influences which seek to benefit one
section at the expense Of another would
not be felt
Now If this means anything it means
that the wiley Joseph and the Republic
cans he represents have up their sleeves
a measure to create such a body as he
speaks Of and as anything emanating
from that source is not altogether above
suspicion, and anything which applies to
Newark applies to Jersey City, it be-
hooves the Senator and Assemblymen
from Hudson to keep a watchful eye on
Mr.. Coult. He has been known to have
waited through the Legislature lhe nio9e
innocent appearing little bills which have
turned out to be most dangerous to the
welfare of the people.
Republicans in Newark are very hun
cry and are almost starving for the
loaves and fishes which their Democratic
friends are now enjoying. They are des-
perate and are willing to &c to any ex-
IRENE to get at the public crib. There-
fore, the Newark delegation needs the
most careful attention.

ELECTRICITY EXPLAINED.
Prof. Newton Harrison's Lscsure Be-
fore Che YeM. C. A.

The lecture room of the Young Mems
Christian Association, in Hasbrouck In
stitute, last night, was crowded 10 it's ut
most capacity by young men DESTROYS Of
hearing Prof. Newton Harrison. z. E., in
his opening lecture on electricity. The
Professor is probably one of the greatest
authorities on matters of electricity in
this country. The lecture was a brilliant
effort. and was greatly enjoyed by the
men who paid very close attention. Prof.
Harrison has on hand a large table COW
cred with 1900 worth of apparatus, which
he used in explaining his points. The
principles of energy were explained, and
rudimentary electricity set forth.
Prof. Harrison said two great questions
were absorbing the interest Of the scien-
tifc world today-the system of producing
light without heat, or the vacuum tube
process, and the new system of the trans
mission of energy or power without wires.
Both OF these new discoveries were closely
related to one another. Prof. Harrison
said electricity was a simple science,
when properly understood. There were
two great divisions, the continual cur
rent and alternating systems.
The open and closed current batteries
were explained and their relation to one
another demonstrated. The Thermo Elec-
tro Generator and the process of turning
heat into electricity were next made clear.
This was Followed by an explanation Of
the rotary motor. After. going over the
principles underlying all knowledge of
electricity, Prof. Harrison brought his
lecture to a close by a magnificent illus
tration of the Tesla method of telegrapny
without wires.
After the close, of the lecture a large
number Of those present decided to join
this interesting class. the next session of

being a great success.
