COFFEE LANDS DECISION.
Business Men Say Trouble is on the
Horizon.

The decision of the supreme court
that coffee lands, devoted solely to
that product, cannot be taxed at more
than the original figure at which it
was sold by the government, will In
duce a rather strange set of things If
not complications, say many persons
familiar with the subject.
The coffee and ramie act stands as
a shield to the growers. At the same
time the boom in the country has en-
hanced the value of lands and will eff
feet IT in the same way far more. IT
is said that improvements now in con-
temptation at Hilo and the inaugura
tion of a sugar plantation at Olaa will
double the value of coffee lands in the
latter neighborhood.
Coffee is all we have upon the lands
and increased values by that agency
cannot be considered" the planters
say.
"The increased value is not due Ia
your coffee, but to the boom, immigra-
tion, the influx of wealth and demand
for land" the tax collector will say.
Then other cases will come before the
supreme court.

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE OF 1000
TONS.

The sprockets for the new 80 model
Sterling bicycle for the Pacific Cycle
Co. is not stamped out of piece of
boiler plate and put in the machine
without milling for the chain but cold
forged under hydraulic pressure of
1000 tons; then machined and milled
for the chain until actual micrometer
measurement of the sprockets will not
vary in diameter more than two or
three thousandths of an inch measure
them whichever way you Will. Scien-
tific tests at some of the greatest me-
chanical schools in this country have
demonstrated that a higher standard of
efficiency is obtained with a Sterling
bicycle than with any other put in
competition with it. And why? Be
cause of a consistent policy which has
been followed for years by the manu-
facturers of the Sterling, that of high
grade workmanship, attention to de-
tails of construction, and the use of
the best materials to be found for each
Individual part of the wheels anatomy.

TO CONTAIN THE REMAINS OF
THE PRINCESS.
No Handles Nor Ornaments of Any
Kind, With an Expressed Idea-The
= Funeral Plans.

The casket which will contain the
remains of the late Princess Kaiulani
is pure white There are no handles
nor ornaments of any kind upon it,
The inner side is copper with a part
glass top. over this is the white satin
case with a second glass top Viewed
from any side the caslSet is most beau
tiful, one of the rarast and prettiest
ever seen in the Islands.
The body will lie i'm state in this cas-
ket at Kawaiahao church next Satur-
day. From there 1t will be removed
to the Mausoleum in Nuuanu valley,
and deposited. The fine royal koa cof-
fin will be finished in about three
weeks. This will be made so large
that the white casket referred to may
be slipped into it. .......
The idea of pure white casket came
from an expression of the princess
some time ago on the occasion of the
death Of a friend. She remarked that
it seemed so appropriate and pretty
that young people should be buried in
white casllets. The remark was heard
and remembered and the relatives OF
the princess will comply with her views
on the subject as expressed at that
time.
The casket has been shown today to
a number of relatives and the closer
friends of the princess. 1t will be talk
en- tomorrow morning to Ainahau.
Major Potter stated this morning
that he had not yet completed the pro-
gram for the funeral next Sunday.
Numerous details have yet to be made
out. He hopes, however, to have his
work well in hand by tomorrow morn
ing.
A funeral party from the United
States ships Scindia and Iroquois will
| take part i'm the ceremonies attending
the burial of Princess Kaiulani. A full
company will be landed under the COM
mand of Lieutenant w. f. Stafford and
| with Ensign Roys as lieutenant.

AN EXPORT TAX.

There has been considerable trade
in pearl shell between Tahiti and San
Francisco, but it will be injured by a
new law just passed in that colony
says Vice Consul Hart. The new law
consists of an export tax on mother-of-
pearl shells of 250 francs, $4S.25, per
1000 Kilograms (2,2O46 pounds). This
is intended to promote trade with
France. as the tax is RENTED for bona
fide shipments to that country. There
have of late been large shipments TO
San Francisco which will practically

SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Engineer Herring's Workman Now on
the Way to Honolulu.

Engineer Rudolph Herring wrote the
government by the Peking that one of
his expert engineers was leaving New
York for Honolulu to begin the install
lation of the new sewerage plant. He
might be expected within a month.
Mr.. Herring was advertising in San
Francisco for material required, in
conformity with instructions of the To-
cal government, and would very short
ly come down himself.
The letter was read and discussed at
the cabinet conference yesterday.
Mr. Herrngs course met with entire
approval. Immediately after the meet
ing President Dole stated that tenders
for material would also be invited in
Honolulu. 1t was hoped that all would
be in readiness for work to begin when
the engineer arrives.

STRIKE ENDED.
Boiler Makers on the Scindia Return
to Work.

The boiler makers strike on the
Scindia is ended. The men went back
to work yesterday noon. The basis Of
settlement, was eight hours to consti-
tute a days work, but there is to be
no increase of pay for overtime. The
men are satisfied because they claim
it is a recognition of their contention
for the federal eight hour day on gov
ernment work. Captain Field of the
Scinda is satisfied because he does not
yield his contention that he ought to
get as much work for the same pay as
a merchant vessel.

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple co1struc-
tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.
When in need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make, b. Berger
