the least advantage of this cooker is the
fact that, having a steam tight cover,
it allows neither steam nor odors to es-

drawn through the fire. These cookers

A STUDY OF SOILS.
MaXwell's Lavas and Soils of the Ha-
waiian Islands.

Lava and Soils of the Hawaiian Is
lands is 200 page pamphlet by Wal
ter Maxwell, director and chief chem
list of the Hawaiian Experiment Sta
ton, which has just been published.
The subject is treated both from the
scientific and economic aspect, and is
thus a contribution to the permanent
scientific literature of the subject as
well as being a valuable guide to the
planter and the agriculturalist.
OF the plan pursued in the work
which resulted in this publication,
the author says:
'The scope of the Investigations, in
volving careful study of the lavas
from which the soils have been form
ed, may appear, at first sight, to ex-
tend beyond the requirements of the
subject, an examination of the re-
port in detail will, believe, make it
very clear that it would not have been
possible to arrive at an understanding
of the great differences in the nature
of the soils, and in their economic
values, without a preceding study of
the lavas such as was undertaken"

Teddy" Talked Of.

this war winds up in a reasonably
short time we shall, in all proba-
bility, be hearing about Theodore
Roosevelt in New York politics. AL
ready there is constant suggestion in
certain of the republican organs of his
candidacy for the Office of governor.
Years ago Roosevelt took a hand in
state politics in New York. He was
moi a conspicuous success. He Travelled
for a time with Warner Miller. just
after the decline and fall of Roscoe
Conkling, and he soon discovered tina:
he was not in pleasant political COM
pany-he was not with the winners.
For a time thereafter, Roosevelt was
not heard Of in Emplre-state politics.
More recently, he managed to get him
self much talked about while he held
the office of police commissioner in
New York city. He troubled the re-
publican managers greatly. They could
not tame him. and they really were
glad enough when he was appointed
assistant secretary of the navy in the
Mckinley administration.
That office is one of highest account.
yet Roosevelt gave IL up promptly at
the starting of the war. to take the
rank of lieutenant colonel with the
Rough Riders. In service on the ISL
and Of Cuba, amid the perils Of the
siege Of Santiago, Roosevelt was bril-
liant and brave. He was right at the
front. taking his full share Of all the
exposures. Some Of the descriptions Of
the battle say that he led his men to
the crest Of a hill bristling with Maui
sers and that on the way up he cheered
the men on by bowling like a Sioux
Indian. At any rate, Roosevelt knows
how a Sioux bowls. And, by the way.
he has more than a passing acquaint-
nee with Montana tribes. especially

him a familiar hunting ground.
Some of them in New York ave 1t IN
mind that Roosevelt's the man for the
hour. in the election of a governor for
that state. Before the war he would
hardly have been slated; he is rather
a difficult proposition to handle in state
politics. But Roosevelt is a good deal
bigger man that he vas before he was
a Rough Rider. and there isn't a doubt
that, IL he returns in time from Cuba
and runs for governor. his war record
will cause a number of scores to be
rubbed out.

@ERHAPs you noticed, in a spe-
~ cial dispatch from San Francisco
to the Standard of Thursday
morning. a mention Of a clash between
General Merritt and Captain Whiting.
of the Monadnock. The general. then
at Honolulu. ordered Captain Whiting
to proceed at once to Manila. The cap
tain refused to go Until certain repairs
to the Monadnock had been made, and
he said that he recognized Admiral
Dewey. and not Genera Merritt. as the
officer to whom he was accountable.
Whiting kept his word: when his mont
tor was a good ready he sailed. and the
special dispatch to the Standard said
that Captain Whiting left without
open rupture with Paymaster Wilcox,
on account of the latter's alleged SLAM

years ago-long years ago. before the
Hawaiians greatly interested Amer
icans-Ah Fang. a Chinaman. settled
on the islands. He was shrewd and
thrifty. He made money: ne imported
great numbers of Cinnamon; he made
heavy business ventures; he prospered;

ters were the fruit of the union. In
time All Fang's wealth was measured
by millions. He was a reigning sover-
eign over the Chinese cohorts on the
islands. Years afterward. he took II
into his head to get his goods together
and return TO his wife in China.
When it was discovered that this
Chinaman was about TO quit Honolulu
In an unceremonious way, some of the
residents there politely but very firmly
held him up. They informed him that
the thing couldn't be done that way.
He SAT- that he had left his Honolulu
family 500, 900. Ii was pointed out, in
answer. that, considering the wealth In

In instances well-known citizens OF
this region have asked, in communica-
lions to the press, a suspension OF 'he
public's judgment respecting Colonel
Kessler. That request will certainly
need no urging-the public has been slow
to believe that the colonel of the First
Montana volunteers could be so grossly
TO blame as he was alleged TO have been
in his dealings with the representatives
Of the Red Cross. The accusations
against Colonel Kessler came from
sources to which prejudice against hin
certainly could not be imputed. Indeed,
to the censure of all of the newspapers
in the city of San Francisco was added
the testimony Of good men and women
who have been singularly kin and un-
selfish in their effort to smooth the
rough ways for this states volunteers
However, there is an entire Willingness
on the part Of the Montana public TO
give the accused Kessler the benefit OF
every explanation that may be pleaded
in his behalf

The Canadian Conference.

~HE coming conference at Quebec
between representatives of the
United States, Great Britain and
Canada over the differences W
this country and the British possessions
to the north of us, will be one of ex-
ceptional interest and importance. Ow-
ing to the present cordiality between
England and America a speedy and
satisfactory solution is expected to the
several vexed questions. some of which
have been dragging along for years.
Perhaps the most difficult problem con-
fronting the conference is the status
of the fisheries, both on the Atlantic
and Pacific. The final details of the
adjustment of the zeal interests are to
be agreed upon, but this matter has
been zone Owe so thoroughly already
that 1t is believed it can easily be dis
posed of. A better understanding will
be sought as to the warning labor laws
of the United States and Canada, and
possibly an agreement will be reached
to make the restrictions imposed by
each government similar in all respects.
The differences arising from the Klon-
dixie interests will constitute another
subject of Importance. The Alaska
Canadian boundary line must be xed
as soon as possible. The present ar
rangements for the transportation of
merchandise in bond through the Unit
ed States and Canada has given dissat-
isfaction to railroad interests on this
side of the border. and there has been
a strong movement for its modification,
or termination. The Dingley tariff pro-
duced some complications which caused
dissatisfaction on the other side. This
is n of the questions the Quebec con-
ference will be called on to consider.
Other matters are the mining rights Of
one country within the territory of the
other. reciprocity of trade. and the con-
veyance of persons in custody of off,
GERS of one country through the terri
tory of the other.

On His Own Hook.

- GITINALDO thinks hat he
~ knows a tune or two himself.
On his own authority he has is
sued a declaration of independence for
the Philippine islands, n 1t is TO be
assumed that all the head men, sum-
moned for the purpose, lent a helping
hand in launching the manifesto.
Aguinaldo is diplomatic. He an
nounced tina at the assembling for the
purpose of promulgating independence.
''aIl who have in any way assisted in
the good work, such, for example. as
the distinguished admiral of the Amer
ican squadron and his commanders.
who have lent invaluable aid in the
glorious work. should be invited" Thus
Dewey and his officers were afforded
an opportunity to see how the thing is
done when the Fflipos do it.
Probably Aguinaldo does not read
the American newspapers. yet he is
moving along a line Of policy which is
essentially the one he would pursue II
he knew what was going on in this
country and what a good many pre-
cipitous Americans have been advo-
eating with reference to the islands
over which III is the self-set-up dicta-
tor. on all the course he pur-
sues is one that ought to be welcomed
by the conservative citizens of the
United States. Annexation is not in his
dream-he is for independence with
Aguinaldo as the outward n visible
sign of that status for the Philippines.
II he persists, Aguinaldo will compli-
cate the situation, as far as plans for
annexation to the United States are
concerned: and there is no harm in
that-we do not want the islands nor
do We want civil and political relations
with the islanders. Let Spain have
them. The government at Madrid will
be casting about for trouble as soon as
peace with the United States is de-
clared; IT can get trouble, plenty of it
right at Manila. and IT is the kind OF
trouble which. If We Americans are
wise. we don't want anything to dc
with.

at Santiago de Cuba there is no doubt
that an appalling death roll would have
been the result. The estimate of the ex-
perts who have viewed the in
which the ancient city had been forth
fed by Toral was that In assault.
backed by the ~intrepidity and valor OF
our troops, would have cost 5000 lives.
Thus far our losses in the Spanish war.
including killed. wounded and missing,
are a total of about LOO. We have
spent. say. $780, 900. 900. These totals are
as nothing compared with the life and
the money which Cuba's liberation will
have cost. The te~n-years' war starting
in 1858. cost Spain more than $500, 00O,-
600. the lives of 5000 officers and of more
than 2o0. 900 private soldiers; and these
figures take no account of numerous
other campaigns in which Spain has
sought to keep her hold on Cuba.
The results for some of the ~century's
great wars make up a distressing story
in the matter of fatalities. During the
Crimean war the loss was $50. 900 lives;
in the Russo-Turkish wal the figure was
225. 200 killed outright or mortally
wounded.
