In this report it was also shown that of the
several commission houses in Honolulu, H.
Hackteld & Co. handle the largest amount of
sugar, with c. Brewer & Co. second and
Alexander & Baldwin third. The treasurer's
report gave an increase of expenses conse-
quent upon the expansion of old plantations
and the establishment of several new ones.
The following trustees, residents of Homo
lulu, were then chosen: j. B. Anterior, C..

M. Swanzy and ]. F. Hackfeld. Then the
committee reports were taken up. Hugh Nor
rison, of Makawel, reading an exhaustive
report on cultivation. Touching on the
main points he said
In Makawao, on Maui, and in Hamakua
and Hilo, on Hawaii, the rose bamboo is now
the favorite. On lower, irrigated lands the
Lahaina still holds its own, although it has
lost that richness and vigor in leaf and size of
STICK which we were accustomed to see in
this variety, but wherever this cane has been
displaced by another kind we find regret at
the necessity which has compelled change.
Ever since the Lahaina variety displaced the
native canes we have all been aware of it's
good and bad qualities. 1t stands among the
best as regards quality and strength of juice;
its fibre furnishes hard, woody fuel and on
rich, deep soils it produces very large crop;
its faults are>the habit of lying down all over
the field and SO decaying easily in wet fields,
and after maturity it decomposes and dries
up rapidly unless milled in time. This cane
is known all over where cane is grown as
yellow Tahaita, Bourbon, Crystalline, Cay
anne, and so on. Wray, as far back as 1916,
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-11-25


placed it, think, second on his list. TO the
first rank he assigned variety called Salan-
gore. This fine variety is planted in Singa-
pore, in province WELLESLEY, in Malacca, and
here and there in the French possessions.
Boname says it is larger and more vigorous
than the Lahana; the leaves are very large
and deep in color, the stick more upright and
furnishes rich juice, clean and easy to
work. Climate, soil, age and cultivation
have great influence on the color, shape and
general make up of a cane and determine,
perhaps, these variations. 1t is not possible,
therefore, to fix definitely for all time the
group to which cane may belong; neither
are they named alike in the different coun-
tries where they are cultivated.
In regard to seed eyes we plant, usually,
to suit the quality of the land, from four feet
six in rather poor land, up to six feet or more
in rich, deep SOIL We take an average row
of any length; say thirty feet, and five feet
between rows; then if we plant in this thirty
feet furrow one hundred eyes we may obtain
on an average forty per cent. shoots, some of
which will die in the struggle for existence,
but whether any of them die or not our crop
will not be satisfactory, unless secondary
shoots, stronger and richer than the first.
come up. This is the point if we have the
rows too near each other and the eyes too
numerous in the row. we do the cane injury,
but if we depend too much on our cane send.
ing out secondary shoots and consequently
plant too far apart, then we have too open
field and the yield is unsatisfactory. This is
only too we'll known, l think, by all having
practical experience of the work; and must be
decided according to circumstances The
use of commercial fertilizers is extending very
much over the Islands. Lime is now recon-
mended where formerly its place was taken
up by large doses of superphosphate, a use
less expenditure in many cases. From my
own experience can trace but little benefit
in our land from the use of phosphates, either
soluble or not and associated with other ele-
ments or applied alone. Potash alone, or
with guano, gave no marked effect, but if
followed by an application of nitrate of soda
or sulphate of ammonia, rendered much
assistance to the growing crop, and in adding
nitrate soda l have found best results if
accompanied with carbonate of lime. Two
applications at different times are better than
one, and in our circumstances l prefer the
warmest weather, say, August and Septem-
Der, for the last dose, and have had good
results as late as the middle of October, cane
being cut in January. A field is planted, say,
in August: grows until the second November
but is not cut until, perhaps, May; this is
practically two years. If it is ratooned it

HAWAIIAN SUGAR PLANTERS
Eighteenth Annual Meeting Cultivation and
Manufacture Discussed Labor Ques-
ton Submitted to Committee.

President H. P. Baldwin called to order tn,
eighteenth annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association in their hall on
Nuuanu street, last Monday morning. About
50 representative planters were present.
After the minutes of the seventeenth annual
meeting were read and approved, Secretary
Bolte submitted table Of the production of
Hawaiian raw sugar from Oct. L. 1898, to
of the sugar by Islands is as follows:
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-11-25

may be cut again in April or May; this makes
three years that the cane has occupied the
soil, but if, in place of ratooning at once after
the plant, the field lies idle until, say October
or November, and after that cultivated and
cut, say, the second April or May, then the
cane has occupied the soil four years, but in
actual growth only three and half years.
Now the point is which method pays best,
and which, from an agricultural point of view
is best for the land.
When Mr.. Morrison finished, q. r. Ewart
read another report on cultivation and the
papers of these two gentlemen created con-
siderable discussion and questioning on the
part of the members.
nONDAY AFTERNOON.
President Baldwin announced the election
of officers by the trustees as follows: c. M.
Cooke, president; f. A. Schaefer, vice. presi-
dent; F. M. Swanzy, treasurer; c. Bolte, secre.
tary and George H. Robertson, auditor. DR..
Maxwell read the report on fertilization and
remarks on this topic were then in order.
Being subject almost purely scientific, most
of the planters turned t, DIR. Maxwell for
information. Mr. Renton, manager of Eva
plantation, read his report on the reduction
OF cane to the raw sugar. The committee
on machinery making no report, President
Cooke expressed some regret, particularly as
the pump had recently become such an
important adjunct to a plantation outfit

mailed report, which was read by Dr. Max

insect defes all efforts at determination and
proves itself quite factor in hindering sugar
production.

TUESDAY MORNING.

The first business of the day was visit to
the experimental station on Makiki street,
where DR.. Maxwell furnished practical illus.
tration of the best cultivation of rose and
Lahaina cane. This is veritable sugar
garden, where the best and latest theories are
given trial and where theory is brought face
to face with practice on fair field and with
no favor. Before the party left the gr unds
DR.. Maxwell spoke of the danger of importing
any foreign cane, on account of some disease
that might come with it.
1t was nearly eleven o'clock when the
planters opened their meeting in the assembly
hall. Directly the last and most important
subject OF the convention was brought up.
This was the labor question, on which E. ID.

dered report, reviewing the difficulties o.

The RICK Island Railway Coming

Some of the papers in the In
dian Territory announced some
weeks ago that surveyors were
running line from Il Rock Island
railway terminus to Amarillo,
Tex, the end of the Pecos Val
lev line from Roswell The KY.
AGE now confirms the report and
states that if the Rock Island is
extended it will be from Mangum
to Amarillo, 1870 miles. Doubt
less a traffic arrangement could
be made from Amarillo to Ros-
we'll and then the Rock Island
would fill the gap over to the
Salado and White Oaks country
reached by the new line from E'
Paso. An Independent line from
Amarillo to Roswell may be con

NOTjN POLITICS FOR PECUNiA-
PROFITS.

There is no improperly in say
ing that in his own original chosen
profession Mr. BRYAN could now
command an income exceeded or
equaled by that of but few lawyers
west of the Mississippi. There are
thousands of clients who would be
gid aud proud to have him as
heir counsel. If he preferred to
devote his attention exclusively 10
the lecture platform he would be
quite sure of earning Il fortune
in comparatively short time.
His power of interesting and hold
ing audiences by the magnetic
charm of his oratory, on any sub
jcct he may select, has been suf-
ticiently demonstrated; and the
ea4erncss to hear bim speak is not
| confined to any particular section
of the country. The same thing
may be said of his very respectable
gifts as an actor. The stage offers
to Mr.. Bryan Il mine Of wealth
whenever he chooses to work it;
although we have no idea that he
will ever take advantage Of the op
portunity. If he were to write
books to be sold by subcri ptiou
the returns would certainly he
large, and publishers would com
pete for the privilege and profit OF
PUTTING Mr.. Bryan's printed
thoughts into the hands of his mil
Hons of admirers If he were to re
turn to journalism there are doubt
less dozens of prosperous ncwspa
pcrs of his own way Of thinking
which would tumble over cacl
other in their anxiety to secure
his services as editor or editoria
writer.
Mr. BRYAN could easily earn no
only his living, but probably richie
beyond the dreams Of NcbraSkt
avarice as n lawyer, a doctor, Al
actor, an author or journalist

country today with greater pc

AMERICANS ARE EASY PREY.
Hundreds of Them In Mountains Nc
Nothing of Uprising.

Chicago, Aug. ia special to the
Chronicle from FL Paso. Tex. says: ].
H. Latin of Brentwood, Tex. reached
here Thursday night direct from the
heart of the Yaqui gold country of So
moro Mexico, where most of the Amer
lean prospectors who have gone into
the mountains during the past two
years are congregated. He says more
than 500 American miners are in the
mountains near Montezuma. He left
Montezuma last Thursday, and had not
heard Of the Indian uprising until he
arrived here.
This camp. where he left several COM
panions. is twentyfour miles from the
town and nine miles from the Yaqui
river. The hostile country, where the
Indians are massing. is $50 miles dis
tant but the Indians are likely to re-
treat TO the mountains at any moment
before the advancing troops.
Latin says not an American miner in
the hills has heard of the outbreak and
all of them would be taken completely
off their guard and fall an easy prey to
the Indians should they decide to raid
their camps He says. however. that
the Americans at MonteZuma seemed to
have no fear of the Indians penetrating
that far into the mountains, and no
one believed that the miners in the i'm
mediate vicinity would be molested, al
though those Americans further down
the river are admitted to be in danger,

worse, and when Nagasaki was reached
1T was thought best TO leave him.
Williams. UP To : few years ago. was
p COW puncher of the oldfashioned
type. He busted broncos for Buff
falo- Bill when that famous Snowman
toured the country with his aggrega-
ton OF rough riders and Indians. The
life was calculated to harden. a man
physically and keep him hardened. Per
hapS. this is the reason Williams was
the last man in either battery to knock
under.
Captain Critchiov's description of his
parting with the corporal was very af-
fecting. He says that Williams became
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
he would never see home and friends
again. He talked very Gespondently to
Captain Critchlow. and even went so
far as to ask that his body be re-
turned to American soil.
After a long talk on the last day
in Nagasaki," said Captain Critchlow.
Il managed to cheer Williams up by
telling him ne would certainly be well
enough TO follow us on the next trans
port that touched at Nagasaki. He be-
came more sanguine of recovery, and
when | shook hands with him on leav-
ing he was brighter than he had been
for several days"
The battery boys would be deeply
grieved if Corporal Williams should die
in far away Nagasaki. He was ex-
tremely popular with both officers and
men, The soldier enlisted in Salt Lake
with Captain Wcdgwood's recruits and
went with them TO Manila.
