Dingley Introduces the Tariff Bill
for Hawaii.

WAsBINaToN, Dec. 16-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations
made some progress to-day with the
bill rtported by the Hawaiian
Committee for the government OF the
Hawaiian Islands, but adjourned
until next Monday without com
pletius the work.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.- Assistant
Secretary Howell, of the Treasury
Department, was heard by the
committee on ways aud means to-day
on the need OF extending the tariff
laws to Hawaii as soon as possible.
He read aletter from Harold Sewall,
formerly United States Minister
there, and now Special Agent,
stating that this immediate exteu-
sion of the laws was imperative, in
order to prevent the irregular entry
of goods to the United States by
way Of Hawaii.
The committee agreed to the
immediate extension proposed, and
Hawaii will be established as one OF
the customs districts, with three
sub. ports OF entry, viz: Hilo, Ma
hukona and Kahului.
The Collector of Customs will
have headquarters at Honolulu, and
will receive $4,000 salary. Speedy
action by the House will be secured.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. The Ha-
waiian tariff bill was perfected by
the Ways aud Means Committee to-
day and Introduced by Mr.. Dingley.
There is necessity for the prompt
passage OF the bill, says the accom-.
panying report, because it is said
that there is concerted plan Of
foreign dealers to send large guam
titles Of merchandise to Hawaii and
enter it under the Hawaiian tariff,
with a view of taking advantage of
the no hinal duties, and subsequent
ly to Ship it to other ports of the
United States as articles Of domestic

THE COFFEE BLIGHT.
With Proper Precautions the Disease
May be Held in Check.

may be Held In check,
Commissioner Byron o. Clark Of
the Bureau OF Agriculture has re-
ceived the following reply to his
letters to Headquarters at Wash.
ington:
DEAR S1R:-Mr. F. V. Covile, bo-
tanist OF this department, has refer
rcd to us your letter OF Novem Der |
and three specimens of diseased cof-
fee berries. We have kept the spe-
cimens several days in the hope of
obtaining some definite facts bear
ing on the nature Of the trouble and
the possibility of injecting growing
coffee berries from the material for
warded.
We find associated with the speci-
mems q fungus, which is doubtless
one of the chief factors in causing
the disease. The fungus is fusa-
rum, and so far as can be determin-
ed has not been reported as occur
ring on coffee. The spores, or re-
productive bodies, OF the fungus are
quite abundant on the surface of
the berries, aud the mycelium, or
vegetative portion, penetrates the
tissues in all directions.
Similar fungi occur in this coun-
try on various plants and sometimes
occasion considerable injury under
certain conditions of moisture and
heat. We see no reason for alarm
in this. particular case, however, and
believe that with proper precautions
the disease may be held in check.
Doubtless surrounding conditions,
such as soil, rainfall, etc, have much
to do with the prevalence of the
disease, and probably in localities
where the rainfall is not so great
the fungus would not occur in suffi-
cient quantity to be noticed.
In the matter OF preventive meas
ure we can only suggest the careful
gathering and destroying of as much
of the diseased mat erial as possible,
together with the best cultivation
under existence conditions. By
keeping the plants in good, strong
growing condition, much can be
done toward holding the fungus in
check. We have had no experience
in the use of fungicides on coffee,
but from the beneficial results in
the case of other plants it is prob
ably that good would follow the APP
plcation OF bordeaux mixture. |
suggest that the mixture be prepar.
ed in accordance with the directions
given in our Farmers Bulletin No.
3S, half dozen copies Of which are
forwarded to you to-day under ano-
Their cover, and that it be applied as
thoroughly as possible TO both the
leaves and berries. The first appli-
cation should be made il possible in
advance OF the fungus and further
treatments every ten days or two
weeks, about as suggested for the
disease of the grape in the bulletin
sent. or course in such case as
this experiments will have to be
made in limited way at first and
then if the work is found beneficial
it can be extended.
| also forward you several copies
Of circular on Central American
Coffee Disease and trust they may
be of interest to you. We shall be
glad to furnish any further informa.
ton in our power and shall be
pleased to hear from you as to any
experiments in the way Of treatment
that may be made.
