Department of Agriculture.

The Department Of Agriculture has been
active in the last year. Explorers have
been sent to many of the countries or the
Eastern and Western Hemispheres for seeds
and plants that may be useful to the United
States and with the further view of opening
up markets for our surplus products. The
forestry division Of the department is giving
special attention to the treeless regions OF
our country and is introducing species spe-
cially adapted to semi-arid regions. Forest
fires, which seriously interfere with produc-
ton, especially in irrigated regions, are be-
ing studied that the losses from this cause
may be avoided. The department is inqufr-
ing into the use and abuse of water in many
States of the West and collecting informa-
ton regarding the laws or the states, the
decisions of the courts and the customs OF

FUTILE ATTEMPT TO ROB TRAM

An Iron Shutter at the Palama Stable

Enter the Strong Room.

A futile attempt was made tst
night to break into the "strong room"
of the Palama tram car stables. he
burglar, or burglars, used a heavy
blacksmith hammer or punch in their
work, but found their progress barr
ed by u sheet iron shutter inside OF
the woodwork, and gave up the Job,
when they had almost accomplis ned
their purpose.
The strong room has a small Win
dow opening into the car shed, and it
was through that that the marauders
hoped to reach the interior. The
blacksmith had, by chance, left his
heavy hammer and steel punch on
the anvil, and these were the tools u.s.
ed. The wooden shutter was punch
ed through, and partially torn off, but
IA sheet iron shutter on the inside. the
presence of which the burglars were
not aware of, proved "A greater impedi-
ment. After hammering away upon
it for a while they either gave it up as
bad job, or were frightened away by
the stable men.
Detective Kappa examined the bro
ken shutter and gave it as his opinion
that a half dozen well directly blows
would have finished the iron shutter
offering an easy entrance. Within, IN
bags, was between $40O and $500, the
bulk of which was in small change.
The japanese watchmen were not
attracted by the noise, because they
believed it to be the horses stamping
on the stones in their stalls.

Rep. Robertson moved to table. The

Attorney General Smith replled that
while 46S sentences had been suspend-
ed in two years the fact that only -

ed plainly that the system had had a
salutory effect. A man who has been

Rep. Gear asked if it was not in tie

error was not of the heart.
The Attorney General replied that
such was the case, but that did not
subserve the purpose of the suspen-

about the good qualities of the Sterl-

The Lahainauna Item Passed-Rep-
resentative Atkinson Wants Cor
oner's Inquest for Sudden Deaths.

At the afternoon session of the
Senate. the item of $4,000 for the La
hainaluna school was passed.
The appropriations for the Board
of Health were then taken up. Objec-
ton was made to the item of $4,000
for general expenses.
Senator McCandless said that dur
ing the last period there had grown
up system of iunlcting trips by the
Board of Health: and whenever any
strangers came here that they thought
ought to see the Leper Settlement
steamer was chartered to take them.
If these things were paid out of this
fund, he was in favor of reducing the
amount so that it would have to stop.
Attorney General Smith replied that
as to the iunketing trips, he and DR..
Wood went to Japan to study the
quarantine situation: their travelling
expenses amounted to S3S4. In addi-
tion DR.. Wood was allowed 5000
month. The United States had also
sent agents on the same mission. DR..

his expenses had been paid. AS to Ia

sed n second reading.
The report of the Committee rec
ommending the passage of Rep. Gears
resolution on the subject of the Gov
ernment's Interpretation of the Rev

of the house that in all cases where
there was a doubt as to the construc-

missioner Abroad to Create New
Markets for Coffee.

In the Senate this morning Auditor
General Laws submitted a supplement
tary report of the business of his Of
flee.
Several reports of Committees were
presented, which were laid on the ta-
BILE to be taken up with the bills to
which they referred.
Senator McCandless introduced his
Bill eXempting the property owned
and actually in use by the Sailors
Home Society and the Young Mems
Christian Association. The preamble
of the bill is as follows:
Whereas. The work carried on by
the Sailors Home Society and by the
Young Mems Christian Association is
of strictly benevolent and educa-
tional character, is wholly non-secta-
rian and depends entirely upon volun-
tary contributions and assistance for
support, and it is not the policy of the
Government to tax benevolent or edu-
cational institutions of this charact-
er."
Senator Brown objected to that part
of it stating a policy of the Govern
ment The bill however passed first
reading and was sent to the Commit
tee on Printing.
The appropriation for the use of the
departments was next taken up. Those
for the Interior Department were pas
sed as in the bill amounting to
$29,S25.
In the appropriations for the De-
partment of Foreign Affairs an item of
$1,000 was inserted for the Expenses
of Coffee Commissioner" This item
was proposed by Minister Damon, who
said that something ought now to be
done to make Island coffee better
known in the markets of the world
The production of coffee he said had
now reached point when more was
produced than could be sold in the
markets where it was known. AS d
matter of fact Island coffee was little
known further east than San Francis
co. 1t had to meet the competition OF
coffee from all other coffee growing
countries and something must be done
to make its merits more widely known
than now. The services of suitable
