KONA COFFEE men.
Japanese Planters Start
Their New Mill.
AMI Hold Their Association Meeting There
In Their Aim Is TO Promote
the Coffee Industry.

The members of the Kona japanese
Coffee Planters Association opened
their coffee cleaning mill at Kailua.
Hawaii, on the 4th inst. with apPro-
pirate exercises. The place was pref
tily decorated and the ceremony was
most enthusiastic. The president OF
the day read many congratulatory let
tiers from all parts OF the Islands and
many members made excellent
speeches. The association was formed
in the early part OF this year among
the japanese coffee planters OF North
and South Kona for the purpose of
promoting the cultivation and enhanc-
ing the quality of Kona coffee. as well
as protecting the interests OF the coffee
planters. To accomplish these pur-
poses they arranged with Cation, NELL
& Co. of Honolulu to build the coffee
cleaning mill, the construction oil
which was completed on the day that
the opening exercises We're held. The
capacity of the machinery OF this new
mill is to furnish 5000 pounds OF clear
coffee within ten to twelve hours, ant
its first trial was successful. The mil
will be run with Japanese hands here
after. Coffee mills are not so plenti
full in these islands but that the Jap
anese planters of Kona will boast o
the splendid mill they have just has
| built.

TRANSVAAL NOTES.

On April IL, 1877, the Transvaal was
annexed by the British Government,
against which in December, 1880. the
Beers took up arms. and treaty of
peace was signed March 81, 1881.
According to the convention ratified
by the volksraad. self-government was
restored to the Transvaal so far as re-
CARDS internal affairs, the control and
management of external affairs being
reserved to Her Majesty the Queen of
England, as suzerain.
The area of the Transvaal Is 10000
square miles, or about the same size
as the combined areas OF the States of
Pennsylvania. New York, Massachu-
sets, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Vermont.
The seat of the Government is Pre-
toria, with white population OF TO-
600. The largest town is Johannes
burg. the mining centre OF witwater-
srand gold fields, with a population of
about 100, 900, including suburbs. The
population consists of about $1,000
whites, 1000 Malays, $500 Coolies and
Chinese. $4,000 Kaffirs and 5000 of
mixed race.
The Republic has no standing army,
with the exception OF n small force oil
horse artillery of 81 officers, 10 non
commissioned officers and $50 men, all
bodied citizens being called out In
case of war. There are three foot and
six mounted volunteer corps. number
ing about 1000 men. subsidized by Gov
eminent II is estimated on good au-
thority that in case of war the country
can send at least 10000 well-armed
men into the field.
In 1884 the value of the total output
OF gold in the Transvaal amounted &C
s51 900. and last year, in 1898, the out
put was valued at no less than s5S.O00.'
900.
There are altogether 100. gold mine.
in the Transvaal. At present gold sum:
up nearly the whole wealth of th'
Transvaal. The Republic is now th'
largest gold-producing country in TIT
world.
To his native servants the Boer is
hard but just master. Consequent!
the Transvaal is not troubled with
labor problem as other South NJ
, riean States are. The colored labo
sup oily in the mines Is both plentiful
and we'll controlled.
Gold at present is the chief minera
of the country. But silver is worke
near Pretoria. There are great Goa
fields in the southeast, and iron de
posits are abundant. The Transvas
thus possesses every condition requi
D site for immense wealth: Gold. Goa
iron. a rich and well-watered soil.
Though British enterprise has mad
the Transvaal, the Boer will allow
no alien any ordinary political right
Millions of dollars are invested
the Transvaal gold mines. No less tina
about 100000 worth OF mining M
chinery is imported every year. BIRTHS
capital is largely and chiefly investe
in the mines. II is said that in case
war with Great Britain the Boei
would blow up the gold mines. IN
would mean the destruction OF IN
mense fortunes.
