AS the time for the Legislature to con-
vene draws nearer the number of candi-
dates who want t. succeed George Gray
in the United s tates Senate, increases.
Many who were thought to be staun:h
supporters OF J. Edward Addicks for the
place have now, it is said, deserted his
cause and are now laying plans to 60 to
the Senate themselves.
A boom has been started for Dr. Caleb
Layton Of Georgetown, strong political
friend of Addicks. He is one OF the most
prominent:Union Republicans in Kent,
Sussex county. T. G. More, Of the same
county, has number OF friends who
have launched boom for him. They
claim that he could get the Addcks
vote. The names of j. Frank Alice. of
Dover, and DR.. Marshall, of Milford,
have also been mentioned in case it was
seen that Addicks cannot be elected.
Another name that has been mem
toned much during the week is that of
Hiram K. Burton, of Lewes. tie is not
claimed by either faction and has not
allied himself with either.
One of the men whom it is believed
would be acceptable to many f the Re-
publicans of the State regardless of fac
tions Is the Rev. J. s. Willis. He at one
time represented Delaware in Congress
and made splendid record. He was
on the Union Republican ticket for re-
election two years ago and he could
have been elected had he been on the
regular Republican ticket.
A boom OF some proportion has also
been started for William S. Hilles a
Young lawyer OF this city. He has never
been allied with any faction, but in the
beginning of the last campaign he did
much to unite the factions in New Castle
couaty. Addcks is evidently AFRAID of
him, and his paper here is making a
strong fight against him.
During the week some OF the friends
of ex-senator Anthony Higgins denied
the story that Mr.. Higgins had made a
deal with Addicks, whereby he, Higgins,
was to be elected to the Senate this time
and Mr.. Addicks was to have the seat
now held by United States Senator Hig-
ings. - Wilmington" Correspondent, Philn.

Of the story OF a deal between Addicks
and ex-senator Anthony Higgins. This
was the story which was exploded last
week. Since that time it has been given
currency by some people whose wish was
father to the thought, but now it is de.
MED by even the friends Of ex-senator
Higgins themselves.
The chances for the selection Of any
one who has been actively identified
with either OF the factions of the Repub-
lican party looks doubtful now. The
Regulars will not give in to the election
Of Addicks, ard all they need to prevent
it is that six men should hold out and
refuse to 70 G for him, and it is believed
that they can muster that many. This
is a game which can be PLAYED on two
sides, however, and SO there is chance
that the Union Republicans may apply
the plan to prevent the election of Reg
uar if the Regulars show any desire to
use this power.
There are many among the Rcpubli-
cans who fear that there will be q long
drawnout contest for Senator, and that
there will be some bitter feeling ongen.
dered. ii the Republican party makes
any such mistake ia ;he coming session
Of the Legislature it might as well &c
out of business, for the people of The
State would not trust 1t again, and the
consequence would be t.lat the next
General Assembly would be Democratic
and that two Democratic Senators would
be elected instead OF one. Now is the
tiwe when it is incumbent upon every
good Republican to stand for the inter
esss of his party rather than for his owr
interests, for the situation is critical anC
being paid for dearly.
1t has been the boast OF the Democratic
party for years that when the Republi
cans got into power they made so many
mistakes and fought so much among
themselve, that the Democrats were SURF
Of carrying the next election, and to ;

It is now in the hands of the Republican

session will decide whether it is a max,

The contest Tor Senator has brough
out some very funny incidents. In TIN

ui senator the mention Of which a fey
years ago would have been ridiculous
but owing to the record which Delawar
has been making for a few years past
they do not appear so now. The Ropub

BIG SHORTAGE IN THE TARO
CROP REPORTED.


Taro is high and scarce. The blight
which has attacked it in many parts
of the Islands is the principal cause
to which the shortage of the crop is
attributed. The recent floods which
washed out number of patches in
various places. have added to the scar
city.
Agent Reynolds of the Board of
Health, who returned from Molokai
yesterday. reports a poi famine in the
Settlement. The contractors have not
been supplying the usual quantity,
and this morning they reported to the
Board of Health that they were un-
able to. Their contract calls for from
eight to ninety bundles of taro per
week. This much is not ubtainahle
in the market.
Many of the poorer Hawaiians are
unable to purchase anything like
their usual supplies at the prices
which at present rule in the market.
Appeals have come to the Depart
ment of Agriculture from Il great
many districts for aid in contending
against the blight. Professor Koebele
has distributed lady bugs wherever
they have been asked for. but he finds
the greatest obstacle TO systematic
and thorough fight against the pest
which causes the blight in the unwil-
| lingness of the owners of taro patch
es. or their Indifference, to fully CO.
operate with him.
\ great deal of damage is reported
from the Island of Mololai and sever
al consignments of lady bugs have
been sent there.
The Board of Health will probably
be obliged to take some peremptory
measures in regard to the taro sup
/ ply at the Settlement at its meeting
| next Wednesday.

ISLAND BOYS WILL fight.
WOULD LEAVE COLLEGE TO BEAR
ARMS.
Write Home to Ask Permission to
Join Uncle Sans Ranks in Case of
War

Four Island boys, now at College in
the East. are anxious to take up arms
on behalf of Uncle Sam, in case of a
war with Spain. They have written
home in glowing terms of the pros
poets of waryandsof the possibilities
of achieving great honor in the ranks,
and all have asked permission to join
their American fellows in College in
the formation of military company
to 90 to the front the moment war $
declared.
OF course the parents are greatly
excited over the proposition of their
sons, and it is likely that the next
mail to the Coast will carry numerous
kilograms begging the young men to
remain in college, and never again
think of going to the front" The
alarm has spread as well to other pa
rents who have sons at school in the
United States. and it will take good
sized mail bag to carry the many let
ters of eXpostulation and command
that will be forwarded to these com
ing business and professional men of
the Islands to induce them to continue
in the pursuit of knowledge rather
than to take up arms.
The war spirit has even reached
Honolulu. and there are not a few
men who will at once go to the front
in case war between the United
States and Spain is declared.

\ SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.

The concert Saturday night at the
Opera House for the benefit of kalihi
and Moanalua churches was an un-
qualified success. The attendance was
large and the occasion was taken adj
vantage of by number of ladies to
give opera parties. The proscenium
boxes were occupied, the one on the
right by Princess Kaiulani and party
and the one on the left by Mrs. S. b.
Dole and her guests.
The program was well rendered
throughout. The audience was liberal
in recalls and the performers gracious
in responding.
Very much of the success of the af.
fair, by which about $500 was secur
ed for the two churches, was due tc
w. H. Cummings, who had the entire
management of it.

1t was all done very quickly, no acci-
dent occurring to interfere with the
arrangements of the execution. Witn-
in fifteen minutes after the murderer
stepped upon the gallows, his lifeless
body was cut down and hidden away
in IA rude coffin.
The execution was witnessed by
about fifty people, fully one-half Of
whom were guards and attendants;
the remainder were physicians and
press representatives. just before the
condemned man was led forth from
his cell, Kaio, the father, was taken
into the Warden's office and officially
notified that the Council of State had,
on Saturday, commuted his sentence
to life imprisonment. AS he hal al
