IN REPLY 10 ALLEN usR8tU1
situation as Capt. Lydlg Observes
Tried to Obtain Native Pro-
duce- fscts-Freish,.

u. s, Subsistence Department, Homo
lulu. II. l., L. 5. A.. April q, 1899.
Allen Herbert. Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, Present.
My Dear Sir:-Referring to your re-
quest to be informed in regard to my
efforts to obtain in this market vege-
tables for the use of the U. S. Army,
and my opinion as to the possibility OF
producing such vegetables on the
Islands, l would say:
Immediately upon assuming the
duties of my office at this station in
August last, being the first, and up to
the present time. the only officer as
signed to the duty, Il made efforts
which have been repeated from time to
time to obtain native potatoes, onions
and cabbage, in fact fresh vegetables
of all kinds. In no case, however,
have my efforts met with any appre-
ciable success. Potatoes, onions, cab
bages and other small vegetables are
cultivated to a limited extent on all
the Islands that ! have visited; but
owing to the fact that the sugar Indus
try has overshadowed all others, their
cultivation and production Is almost
wholly in the hands OF Cinnamon.
None of them appear to be Of as good
quality as are imported from the main.
land, and the quantity has never beer
equal to the demands of local planta
tions, both the Army and the citizen.
relying principally upon the importa
lions.
From what have seen, however,
believe there are many localities ant
plenty of available space, where the!
might be successfully cultivated, and i
is possible, too. that with better seed
the grades would be greatly improved
and that with Government encourage
ment a class of market gardeners nigh
be induced to settle here and cultivate
those tracts OF land not otherwise EN-
ployed. and suitable for the purpose.
At the same time / should note tina
my attention has been called to the fac
that several large land owners OF
islands adjacent to this. have tried tn,
cultivation Of vegetables for this mar
ket, but, owing to what, they claim
are extortionate rates OF transporta
ton, by steamers plying between tn
islands they have been unable to max
the experiment success.
] am. my dear sir. very respectfully
your obedient servant,
PHILIP NJ. LYDIG,
Captain and Commissary of Subsist
ence, U. s. v. Chief Commissary.

Quay Scoops Them All.

Republican primary elections were
held in Lancaster, Montour and Butler
counties last Saturday, the main conten-
ton being on delegates to the State Con-
vention, the opponents of Senator Quay
putting forth their most prodigious Ell
forts to encompass the defeat of candi-
dates friendly to him. In every instance
the "antis" were routed horse, foot and
dragons, in Lancaster county the ma
jorities in some instances running up
over the 5000 maIk in favor of the QUAY
people, who elect all the eight delegates
in that county. Montour's results were
much the same, and the county conyen-
ton passed strong resolutions condemn
ing the action of their member in oppos-
ing Quay's election, and demanding that
he support the Senator in the future. In
Butler county, which was looked upon
as strongly anti-Quay, both delegate.
elected are for him. Up TO this time Quay
has won in Uuion, Indiana, Blair, War
rem, Lancaster, Montour and Butler
counties, while the "antis" have no
elected a solitary delegate. Will the in
surgents observe the handwriting on tn
wall?
