Richmond's Representation.

Editor OF The Times:
sir-You have given in your editorial
columns no uncertain sound about the
May convention. but you make no prac-
teal suggestions looking to an adequate
representation from Richmond.
1t seems 10 me that Richmond should
send at least one hundred representative
men TO this conference or convention. az
am satisfied that a great majority OF the
voters OF this city are in favor OF the
election Of Senators by the people. and
until that can be accomplished by con-
stitutional amendment. they undoubtedly
favor nations BY the people.
l suggest. therefore. that you advocate
holding meetings al some prominent point
In each OF the five Democratic wards Of
the city. al each Of which meetings TWEEN
~ representative men shall be chosen %
attend the convention.
This convention Is too near at hand for
details to be perfected otherwise than by
such suggestions as The Times may
make 1t would never do for so important
a conference to be held in our city with
out the presence Of some chosen repre-
sentatives OF our citizens.
VIII you not help 10 bring this about?

SHE MAKES A HIT WITH DAILY
AND QUITS.
Now 1t is Said She is to be Married,
but Gossips Can't Pick the Winner
as Yet.

NEW YORK, February 11.-Miss
Blanche Bates has resigned from Au-
gustin Daly's company
on Thursday night she appeared as
the adventures in The Great Ruby,
and made a decided hit on Friday
she sent a note to Mr.. Daily rendering
her resignation, to take effect when
convenient to him, before next Satur-
day. Today when she reported at the
theater for the matinee she was po-
litely informed by the business emana-
ger of the house that Mr.. DAILY had ac-
cepted her resignation, to take effect
at once An hour or so later Miss
Bates signed a contract to play in the
production of The Musketeers, to be
made next month at another Broadway
theater.
Miss Bates mother said tonight that
the reason for her daughters resigna-
ton from Mr.. Days company was
that she had been very unhappy in the
organization.
Mr.. DAILY showed her so little con-
sideration," she said, land then on
Thursday night, when she tried so hard
to give a good performance, and did
make quite a success, l think, he
didn't so much as say one word to her
That was too much and so she sent
him her resignation"
NEW YORK, February 14.-The
doors OF DalNS s tneater nau scarcely
closed on Blanche Bates before tongues
began to wag anew about that young
woman's matrimonial future. 1t was
declared with circumstantial details as
to her trousseau that she was shortly
to become the bride of Frank Worth
ing, of Annie Russelps Catherine COM
pany, and the elderly ingenues and the
time honored soubrettes of the Know
1t All Club asserted with equal posi-
tiveness that T. Daniel Frawley was
to be the happy man.
Didn't she sail for Europe on the
same steamer with Frawley?" triumph
antly asked the know it alls.
Yes, but didn't she desert the west
ern manager at the pier and visit with
Workings family in Scotland?" was
the inevitable answer, which indicates
that long before Miss Bates came TO
Daly's, the profession was kindly keep
ing tab on the handsome actress ev
cry movement
Meantime Miss Bates preserved q
dignfied but smiling reticence, but it
was noticed the other night that she
wore one of the newest and smartest
gold bangles, set with jade, turquoiS
and amethyst These stones stand for
in initial letters ~, e." and are sup
posed to be as significant as the soli-
taire on the lady's engagement finger,
and in this connection it is rumOred
that a popular young millionaire whose
name is withheld bought bangle like
that a few weeks ago.

THE AVERAGE LIFE.

1t is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of good bicycle, but
it is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, covers about 1000
miles in year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 10000
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
$4,000 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
ly 25,000,000 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear. The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. & j. special drawn
Steel corbonized and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other. Felt washers and ball retain
ers are used throughout. The Pacific
Cycle & Manufacturing Co. have so
of the new improved '99 model Sterling
bicycles in transit. They expect part
of this shipment to arrive on the Moa-
ma.

WORK OF REPAIRING IT BEGINS
AT ONCE.
How the Money Received From Uncle
Sam for Damages will be Expended
Plans for the Races.

The Hawaiian Jockey club will be-
gin in the last of the present week or
the first of next week repairing the
race track at Kapiolani park. Most of
the way around, the hard clay bed was
powdered by the wagons of the camps
and numerous holes were left at sh Tt
intervals. The macadam floor of the
bed was also crushed and destroyed.
In the first place all of this material
will have to be taken out and hauled
out of the way. New earth will have
to be carted in, new macadam and top
bed of clay laid and the whole careful
ly rolled. This will call for several
carts, a number of laborers, the steam
roller, considerable time and a large
expenditure of money.
Nearly $4,000 was realized from the
United States government for damages
to the track. OF this sum about 81,
will be expended on the stretch and a
part of the first quarter. The balance
of the money will go on the other sec
tions of the course. "Then," says Billy
Cunningham, the horseman, 1--WE will
have a track second to none in the
west"
The splendid success of last years
program and the prospect of having
the course in apple pie order has arous-
ed unusual enthusiasm among the
sports in the matter of events for June
18th. Ten racers are already in the
park paddock and are exercised daily,
as best possible, on the track. Several
more are being gotten into shape at
Waialua, Kahului and Hilo. 1t is es-
timated by a leading owner that not
less than fifty fleet animals will enter
the events on the coming Derby day

FEBRUARY STOCK DEALING DNARDOBRENA WRECK
ALL HOPE FOR THE VESSEL IS
GONE.
Efforts Now Being Made to Save Some
of Her Cargo-Cargo and Freight
Money Insured.

The ship Edward O'Brien is practic-
ally given up as a loss There is no
apparent possibility of saving her.
Efforts are now being directed to
save what coal can be saved from her.
An attempt was made to secure scows
and donkey engine this morning with
which to begin discharging at once.
The Maui abandoned all efforts to
pull the vessel off the reef about
O'Clock last night, and the Iroquois a
little later. The ship is grinding ,lway
on the reef and her bottom is now
doubtless so badly injured that she
would sink Immediately if taken off the
reef. The first severe storm will doubt
less break her to pieces.
The vessel is not insured. Her own
ers have a number of ships and carry
their own insurance. The cargo was
insured, however, and also the freight
money on the cargo of sugar she was
to load.
How firmly the vessel is lodged on
the reef may be judged from the fact
that the tugs yesterday were con-
stantly breaking nine inch hawsers.

THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
Awaiting Reports From Admiral Kautz
and the Consuls.

NEW YORK, February ia Wash
ngton special to the Herald says Chief
Justice Chambers decision in favor of
Malietoa Tanu, king of Samoa, will be
upheld by the administration. Rear
Admiral Kautz, upon the arrival of the
Philadelphia at Apia, will, after con-
sultation with the British and Ameri-
can consuls, take such steps for the es-
tablishment of peace and order in the
islands as may-seem advisable.
This is the status today of the Sa-
moan question. An Identical copy of
the decision of Chief Justice Chambers,
delivered on January 1st, has been re-
ceived at the state department and
it will be made the basis of the repre-
sentations to the German government.
Besides this decision the department
has received copies of the proclama-
ton issued by the three consuls and
the chief justice.
The German government is still
awaiting full reports, and 1t is expect
ed that as soon as they are received,
which will be within the neXt few
weeks, 1t will close the incident by
withdrawing it's consul, as requested
by the government.
What will be done with Mataafa is a
question which will have to be consid-
cred, for it is believed that as long as
he is in Samoa he will be a cause of
trouble and it may be necessary to re-
turn him to exile.

soreness of the throat and chest (giv-
