WAIALUA STOCK DECISION
Continued from Page 1.

is concerned no such condition
was attached, and that the alleged
condition is not such at all but
simply an undertaking on the
part of Dillingham;.
1 believe in the light of all tb'
evidence that the letter Of August
16 is correctly characterized a
show" letter. l fail to see how
the letter can be otherwise con.
strued. Dillingham; did not at
that time intend that it's contents
should be taken seriously by
Sop or Valentine. The intention
was that it should he used in San
+. sncisco to exhibit to those
whom it might be desired to in.
terest in the plantation p.oject
and to induce them the more
readily to take stock in the corp
Grafton.
1 believe from the evidence that
considered the procuring of cub.
scriptions to 81 100000 of the
stock, and especially in foreign
market, as valuable assistance in
the launching of TIE enterprise.
His main object, of course.
throughout this entire transaction
of the floating of a large planta-
ton at Waialus was to dispose of
the lands which he controlled to
advantage and in The accomplish.
ment of this the obtaining of ST.
100000 of cash capital was ma
terial item financially and was so
considered by him at the time.
Was any valuable consideration
given by the complainants for the
assignment of June 20. The sur
render of the option Of May "a
meets the requirements OF the de =.
finition of a valuable considera.
ton for the assignment of June
20.
at was both benefit to the
promoter, Dill. CHAM, and de-
triment to the promises, Soper
and Valentine The assignment
of June 20, having been given for
valuable consideration and be-
ing unconditional. was irrevocsble
and the attempts made by respon.
dent Dillingham; to revoke it in
whole and 10 part were futile and
OF no effect. The stock in qnes-
ton was placed by the complain
ants within reasonable time, as.
Stunning, what is not q fact, that
such time ever began to ruiz.
In August, 1898, 1t was under
stood that Waialua was to be
launched with Castle & Cooke
and Dillingham; as promoters and
the former as agents. Stock was
demanded, names we're put down
but no stock promised.
The signers for stock obtained
no title as original subscribers
because at the time the stock Of
the corporation had all been sub
scribed for already and was ex-
hausted. There was no sale. AT
the time, none of the applicants
regarded themselves as purchasers
nor did Dillingham; record him
self as a seller. Had the parties
to these transactions believed that
they were purchasing from Dill

would have been signed. They
understood they were accepting

MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.

If president" Dole does not
see fit to reward departmental
officials who have served his weak
and fsltering administration faith.
fully, and without complaint, the
BULLETIN will most cordially en-
dorse the candidacy of Senator j.
A. McCsn6less for Minister OF
the Interior.
As Mr.. Dole has stated that he
does not read the BULLETIN, there
by inferring that he seeks not to
be Influenced by its opinions, il
was perhaps unnecessary for this
paper to oser the suggestion that
Chief Clerk Hassinger was the
logical candidate for the position
of Minister of the Interior. Since
1893 Mr.. Hassinger has been the
right hand man of Minister King
his knowledge of the details Of
the Office and capacity to handle
those details are unquestioned d. and
he is naturally the man to whom
the people might expect the "Pre-
sident" to turn, to carry for the
short time remaining to present
officials: the work 30 unfortunately
closed by the death of Minister
King.
If on the other hand Mr.. Dole
is determined to enter upon a
search for candidates in the
field of politics, gives his faith
full officials the marble heart
and turns to the Opposition
for assistance, he can select no
one who will receive more unhes-
itating support than Senator
McCsndless. Every word offered
by the Advertiser expressing Mr..
McCandless personal qualifca-
tions for the position of Minister
of the Interior is true. He is a
capable business man and knows
the present needs OF the country;
he has strong personal support
among the younger and more
radical men Of the community.
Mr.. McCandless would streng.
then the sdminlstI alton, but he
will not and cannot carry to the
Dole council az whole the sup
port of the 80. called radicals who
for years have sought a live, bust
ness administration of public
affairs and failed to get it. Sens
tor McCandless is not the man te
be blinded by official favors into
making himself a stepping stone
in order that thos'
who have constantly op
posed him and his supporters
many recoup lost prestige.
The issue must be met fairl,
sndsquarely .IfSenato Mo Candles
10 called to the Cabinet it must b

fact that he goes to the Executiv
Council as . representative Of tb

DEPARTMENT OF THE LAKES
Gen. Anderson Makes Report on Con-
ditiOns and Needed improvements.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-In a report to
the War Department Brigadier General
Thomas NJ. Anderson, commanding the De-
partment Of the Lakes, gives a brief ac-
count of the operations in that department
for the period beginning May last which
was the date of his taking command He
says "a recent inspection of the posts of
the department shows that Columbus bar
racks. Ohio. is well adapted for recruit
ing depot, but not for a large permanent
garrison. 1t cannot well shelter more than
five hundred soldiers and a proportionate
number Of officers. The grounds are of linn
tied area and the sewerage and drainage,
he says, are defective. In his opinion a
new line of drains should be put in for the
buildings located in the extension of the
post. For reasonable expenditure, he says,
the post can be made healthful and agree
able. Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, is re-
ported to be in good condition, but, in the
opinion of General Anderson, is too expen-
sive for small garrison No provision has
been made in the barracks for company
messes and general messing does not meet
the approval of any considerable proportion
of officers Fort Thomas. Kentucky, is also
reported to have the Objectionable feature
of the general mess.
According to General Anderson, the
strength of the department July q, ag-
gregating 72S enlisted men, is inadequate
10 the possible needs of department en-
bracing six large and populous States. De-
ducting the prisoners, guards, sick and spe-
cial duty men. not more than three-ffths
of the small force can be made available
for concentration in case of need. 1t has
been found difficult at times 10 secure off,
GERS for court-martial duty and other re-
quirements Colonel J. NJ. G. Sano, Fourth
Infancy. late acting inspector general OF
the department., in a report to General
Anderson or the subject OF discipline, says
that the IL avior of the detachments of the
regular army was excellent at all posts,
except Fort Thomas. where the command

advantage over other countries in the pleni-
water haul furnished by the great lakes
These advantages would enable this country
to beat all the European countries in the
Orient and in all other places where there
is fair competition. The steel hoop COM
pany was composed Of nine different plants
with S14,00OOO0 Of preferred and s190O0.0oO of
common stock. He considered the tariff of
very material advantage to the industry.
Judge VIM. II. Moore, of Chicago, who
had organized the American Tin-plate Com
pany, the National Steel Company and the
American Steel Hoop Company. and also
other combinations. explained his methods
at length The organization of the tin
plate company had been undertaken at the
request of the owners of a number of tin
plate establishments. He bought each of
the thirty-nine concerns interested in the
combination and then gave the owners the
privilege of accepting cash at the valuation
agreed upon or stock at the rate of one
share of common and one share of preferred
for each 500 in valuation, the par value of
the stock being 800 per share. He said the
promotion of this and the other combina-
tions had required a great deal of capital
and he had borrowed 100000 or 5000, 900
to put the tin-plate combination through.
He defended the New Jersey corporation
law as fair and liberal, ana said it was mod
eled largely after the English law. He
hoped 10 see many of its features adopted
by the other States.

HEAVY FIGHTING IN PROGRESS.
A Cyclists Report Of the situation at
and Near Mafekfng.

LONDON, Oct. IA special dispatch
from Pretoria, dated Oct. H. by way of
Delagoa bay says: "A cyclist dispatch was
received from Ottoshoep, near Malmani, at
3 o'clock this evening asserting that heavy
fighting had been in progress all day long
north OF Mafeking. The British troops on
board an armored tsain acted as a covering
force to military engineers engaged in re-
pairing the track. A Maxim on the train
kept up continuous fire Conspicuous
bravery was displayed on both sides, but
1T soon became apparent that the rifles of
the burghers were ineffective against an
armored train. The latter, however, was
once forced to retreat before a particularly
strong assault but it soon returned. ac-
companied by a British mounted contin-
gent, and the fighting was renewed fiercely.
Fighting still continues the Beers holding
their positions well. A dozen Beers were
killed or wounded, but the British casual
ties cannot be ascertained.
Heavy firing can be heard south of
Mafeking, where General Cronjes COM
mando is operating.
"A corps OF experienced continental en-
gineers, former officers. has left Pretoria
for the southwestern borders, escorted by a
commando of picked Boer shots. 1t is prob
ably intended for large dynamiting opera
tions.
"A big engagement is expected shortly
in the vicinity of Ladysmith The forces
of Commandant Piet Vys are encamped on
a mountain overlooking Dundee, from
which point they will be able TO observe the
movements CT the British troops
The executive council has decided to re-
lease all burghers undergoing years i'm
prisonment or less. All other prisoners who
are in the same category will be sent across
the border.
THE French, German and Italian con-
suls have issued proclamations calling on
their respective citizens to remain neutral
ommandant General Joubert has estab-
lished headquarters at Charleston and
opened telegraphic communication with the
Transvaal by way of Laing's Mex.
Guns and food stuffs found secreted in
the mines OF the Rand are confscated. The
government has ordered the commando out
side johannesburg to act i'm case of any
disturbances.

RUMORs FROM MAFEKING.
Beers Said to Have Been Repulsed
with Heavy Loss.

LONDON, Oct 17.-Several sensation
runners regarding the fighting in South
Africa were current to-day. A dispatch
from Lorenzo Marquee says: Refugees
who have just arrived here from the Trans
Naal report that the Beers have been re-
pulsed at Mafeking. suffering heavy losses"
A special dispatch from Cape Town says
that three hundred Beers and eighteen
British were killed in the battle at Mafe-
king. Col. Baden-Powell, the dispatch said,
made "A sortie from Mafeking in force and
attacked the Beers. who were investing
the town After fierce fighting the British
carried the day.
A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Oct. II,
delayed in transmission, says: Heavy
fighting took place early this morning north
OF Mafeking. An armored train sent to re-
pair the railway line opened fire on the
Boer commando. One burgher was killed
and two were wounded. second engage
ment followed, in which nine British were
wounded Yesterday, while General Cronjes
troops were near the broken railway bridge
nine miles north of Mafeking. approach
ing train loaded with dynamite was fired
on and blown up. There were no casualties
on the Transvaal side
Another dispatch from Pretoria, dated
Oct. Is. delayed in transmission, says:
Further dispatches received by the gov
ernment say that fighting continues north
of Mafeking. The British, after the second
engagement, retired in the direction of the
town, but they resumed the attack shortly
afterwards, two burghers being killed and
three wounded. The commando engaged
was impeded owing to the want of heavy
artillery, which was subsequently obtained
from General Cronje."
special dispatch from Mafeking says
that all was intact there up to Saturday
night At that time the Boer artillery was
Being brought up, but it had not been
placed in position According to these ad-
vices the British have blown up the Hope
Town Railway bridge over the Orange
river, with a view of checking the Boer
advances southwark. 1t is expected the
Beers will cut off Kimbereys water sup
ply, but the Debeers dam contains enough
for a considerable time.
To-day's news from the western border
Of Cape Colony probably reduces the al
legged heavy fighting at Mafeking to ordi-
nary proportions. Apparently the earlier
sensational story originated in the skir-
mishes between the armored train and
small detachments OF Beers. although since
then much may have happened to the little
garrison. 1t is difficult to understand how
refugees arriving at Lorenzo Marquez
should have come into possession of news
of serious Boer losses at Mafeking. At the
same time 1t must be remembered that
much news from the Transvaal is likely to
come by way of Delagoa bay, as most other
channels are strictly censored
