BANK WILL HELP HAWAII.
Perry $. Heath Is Enthusiastic owe,
Ills enture In the Islands.

His Venture in the Islands.
New York, Aug. 4.-Persons in this
city interested in the organization of
the national bank recently established
at Honolulu are enthusiastic over the
outlook for the new institution. Perry
5. Heath, assistant postmaster general,
who is in the city, said:
We have already shipped S75O,OOO in
currency with which the bank can be-
gin business in earnest as soon as the
formalities are complied with. Delay
has been caused by the omission to OBJ
tain certain signatures to papers. which
are required by the Hawaiian govern
ment before the charter can be issued
The oversight has been corrected but
not in time to carry out our plans as at
first formulated.
Hawaii presents an attractive field
for the employment of banking capital.
Merchants there have never had ade-
quate banking facilities. There has not
been half enough money in circulation
and for years the custom has been to
rediscount paper in San Francisco and
New York to meet the demands OF To-
cal trade. In other words, money has
been forwarded from San Francisco and
New York to carry on the business of
the islands. I obtained the charter for
the bank in 1893, in the belief that the
islands would be ultimately annexed to
the United States.''

Cuban General says Ehey Seem More

Havana, Aug. IA Cuban general in
a letter published in the Independencia
says some commanders of the Cuban
army have taken advantage of the So
100000 gratuity TO get money from the
soldiers for granting them the certifi-
Gates necessary TO enable them to coll

in another instance 1t appears man
could not get his certificate owing to the
lack of money to pay for it. The writer
says:
Every day sees that the Americans
are more and more right. Many years
must pass before the Cubans learn
how TO handle money without letting ii
stick TO their fingers The general
then asks. in view of the facts adduced,
what would have happened if the
Americans had intrusted the distribu-
ton Of the eratuity to Cuban commits
sioners.

tor of the newspaper Guacamayo. has
been arrested under the decree recently
issued by Major General Ludlow. gov

Senior Casanova has repudiated his re-
sponsibilty in connection with any OBJ
jectonable articles that appeared in the
paper seeking to throw the blame for
their publication on the Jail editor

sibility for whatever appears in the
paper. The Jail editor has not been

Caused by Unusual Demands.
New York, Aug. Am its review of
trade conditions the Iron Age today
says:
The rising tendency continues un-
abated and it is a question whether
delays in deliveries have not actually
become worse of late. Scarcity of la
Dor, scarcity of coke, of pig iron, bill
lets. wire rods is troubling makers
from step to step upward to the final
the first half of 1900 and beyond are
growing more numerous. thus showing
that many buyers are willing to pay
present prices for the certainty of Sc
curing their supplies. So far as deliv-
cries during the balance of the year are
concerned. the maintenance of prices is
conceded by the majority, while every
day brings accessions to the ranks of
those who hold that we are to see a
considerably higher level yet for urgent
requirements.
This seems to be the situation in pig
iron. both in foundry and in Bessemer
grades, and for delivery during the next
few months there has been a further
advance. Pittsburg records sales of
Bessemer pig as high as s21 valley fur
mace.
Steel continues exceedingly scarce
and high prices are being paid for
prompt shipments notably for open
hearth stocks. 1t is significant that one
rolling mill has just given an order for
the importation from England of $50
tons of open-hearth billets and that
other inquiries are at hand Orders for
foreign open-hearth wire rods were
placed by screwmakers some time since
and there are indications that addition
lal quantities may be drawn from Eu-
rope.
While the capture of many large
bridge orders for foreign markets has
attracted good deal of general at
tention, striking progress has been very
quietly made in extending a market for
buildings and sheds American firms
have asked and obtained the designs
proposed and have remodeled them in
accordance with practice here, guaran-
teeing ability to resist the Loads speci-
fled. BY this means the structures have
been much lightened and it has been
possible to secure work at n higher per
pound rate than that offered by Eu-
Iropean builders We understand that
buildings have been thus captured, not
alone for the West Indies. Chile, Peru
and Central American states. but also
/ for European countries. We learn that
one firm alone placed contracts aggre-
eating 1000 tons in July
among the bridge orders in the mar
lset we had eight bridges for Japan.
They were designed by American con-
sulting engineers and will therefore be
taken here.''

steel fell off from 1861 tons, AT value

The Grain Letter.

Chicago. Aug. A.
Wheat was strong and weak by turns
today. Liverpool was Nd higher and
Paris l5c lower. Primary receipts were
over so per cent larger than a year ago
and clearances were light. The cash
demand here was poor and at the sea-
board only moderate business was done
for export. Shows crop summary noted
reduction of five points in conditions
of spring wheat. Modern Miller re-
ported the flour trade quiet and the first
rush OF winter wheat receipts apparently
over. Indications were for a decrease
of about 100000 in northwest stocks for
the week. The crowd were sellers ear
ly, but later turned buyers and closed
the market at about its best.
Corn was weak early on rains west

New York. Aug. 4.-The morning SEES
sion of the Mazet committee was large
~ given over to the examination of
Francis T. Lantry, commissioner of
correction, as to the methods adopted
by the now famous architectural firm
of Hargan & slattery in their dealings
with the department of correction. The
interesting fact was brought out that
one of the witness objections to the en-
ployment OF Withers & Dickson, the
architects, was that Senator Hanna had
written letters recommending an Ohio
iron company which he represented. At
the close Of the day the committee adj
journed until next Tuesday.

Bugs naraen the Air in Indiana.

English, Ind. Aug. A winged bug,
measuring about one and one-fourth
inches in length, and about five-eighths
of an inch broad. black in color. having
six legs, has come upon parts Of this
county in swarms that number mil
lions. They are not known to sting, but
they infest houses SO that bushels of
them are swept out at once. Fowls
feed upon them until they become sick
and die. Hogs feed on them with no i'll
effects. They pass in such clouds as to
obscure the light of the sun and remind
the old folks of the days when wild
pigeons darkened the brightest day.
