CRITICIsING THE PRESIDENT.

The constant misrepresentation
of the Presidents land order aud
the csuses which brought it
about is malicious only in the in
jury done local Interests by serv-
ing as disturbing factor in the
cordial relations that have existed
between Hawaii and the Wash.
lngton Executive. What is to be
gained to the people of tho Ha
wsiian Islands by the constan I
criticism of the Presidents order
which the officials through their
ac,epted organ are Offering to the
public?
Anyone who reads the m morial
OF the "Olaa equatters" with
average intelligence knows that
tho squatters merely protested
against the sale of public lands
by Hawaiian officials. The squat
ters held that the public lands of
Hawaii are the property Of the
United States and can be disposed
of OILY by special act of Congress,
That the President, acting on the
advice of the Attorney General,
now confirms the contention does
not confirm the land title OF the
Olaa squatters, nor does it neces-
sarily follow hat they will secure
title to the lands through Con.
gress.

TRANSFER OF TANTALUs PROPERTY

Mr.. Castles letter. regarding
the transfer of 1autalus property
made with our oihciale, is very
satisfactory, since he intimates
that he does not consider the pro-
perry obtained FROM the public
lands particularly valuable and,
having expressed this opinion,
he certain lywilltu back this two
and a half acre tract to the peo.
pie without raising serious OBJ
jections.
The condition of the land when
it passed into the hands OF Mr..
Castle il a matter on which widely
divergent opinions are expressed
by men of equally good standing
in the community. The final test
of the question will be the amount
OF money necessary to put the
plot in proper condition for the
use of the public.
That Mr.. Castle did not know
of the Board of Agriculture plans
was unfortunate, but now that he
has learned of such plans and also
believes the land he gave in ex-
change to be more valuable, there
ought not to be any question as to
prompt cancellation OF the agree
ment and restitution of the two and
q half acres to the people to whom,
under the ruling of the Attorney
General, it belongs.
M. Castle is not to be condem-
ned for Sc, king to obtain land
that appealed to him as desir
able residence site. This every
private citizen has a right to do,
and as Mr. Castle did not knew
of the work the Board had done
he cannot be accused of trying
to gouge the public. The explain
alton OF the matter should not
c,me from Mr.. Castle, but from
tue Executive which, contrary tc
is dtty as the guardian
O. the public lard trust,
il red the Board OF Agriculture
asking neither dvice nor inform
% trom its mem bers regarding
til disposal OF land that has al.
ways received special attention
from the Board. The very
reasons which recommended this
location to Mr.. Gas lie as a resi-,
dence site are certainly an Ell.
dorsement Of the position of the
Board that no better location
could be obtained, at a small ex
penditnre Of public money, for a
recreation ground open to the
general public.

MRS. PLACES LAST HOURS.
New York MuFdereas Shows No Sign
of Weakening a. Death
Draws Near.

NEW YORK, March 19-Mrs. Martha
Places last Sunday on earth differed but
little from the other days she has spent
in Sing Sing prison. She displayed no signs
of breaking down and appeared to be grow
ing stronger and more composed as the
time for her death drew closer. Mrs.
Place went to sleep about 10 o'clock on Sat
urday night and rested calmly and un-
brokenly until about half past this morn
ing. AT that hour she arose and dressed.
Mrs. Places meals are now served from
the warden's table, and will be until she
goes to the chair. This morning she had
pOached eggs, toast. rolls and coffee. She
ate q hearty breakfast and then sat down
TO read. She spent the morning reading her
Bible and religious pamphlets. During the
morning. Warden Sage called on Mrs. Place
and warned her to be prepared to go to the
chair. Whether he told her at what hour
summons is not known. but 1t is not
thought he intimated to her more than q
general idea of the time.
Mrs. Place took the warning c0Olly. far
more so than she took the breaking Of the
news that she must not hope for n pardon.
and the other message that she must hope
for nothing. She seems TO have nerve,i
herself To the test. and it Is hoped by all
concerned in the execution that the nerve
She is now displaying will remain with her

matters between them.
During the afternoon Miss Moury. who
has been active in caring for Mrs. Place
from the time Of her trial, called at the
prison and had talk with Warden Sage.
She did not see Mrs. Place. What her mis-
sion was * not known. The warden said
it was talk simply on business. and Miss
Aioury would not tell! With the coming

AMERICA IS GROWING.
Her Exports Exceeded Those of Grea,
Britain Last Year for the
First Time.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Ambassador
ChOate's recent remark that the United
States and the United Kingdom would
doubtless continue friendly rivalry in
regard to the worlds commerce is quite
justified by the latest figures on the COM
merce of the two countries as supplied by
the treasury bureau of statistics. These
show that the exports Of domestic mer-
chandise from the United States in the
eight months ending with February amount
to $s2s, ,335 III, and those of the United
Kingdom amount to si9s9G0,427. In the cal
endar year, 1ssS. the domestic exports from
the United States amounted to Sl,233. S2S.
while those of the United Kingdom amount-
ed to $1,131. ,S3l. Tie year 1898 WAS the
first in which the domestic exports from
the United States exceeded the domestic
exports from the United Kingdom. On
only two occasions prior to 1888 have the
domestic exports of the United States ex-
ceeded billion dollars. while those of the
United Kingdom have constantly exceeded
billion dollars during the past twenty
years. The latest year in which her ex-
ports of domestic merchandise fell below
the billion dollar line was 1879. when they
amounted 10 $92S a29.0a6 In 1879 our own
exports Of domestic merchandise amounted
to $I5!. .6o6. Thus in the twenty years
since 1873 the figures show an increase of
but % per cent in the domestic exports of
the United Kingdom, and OF 6S per cent in
those Of the United States apparently quite
justifying Ambassador Choate's assertion
that the United States would continue to be
rival. though q friendly one. of the United
Kingdom in its relations with the COM
mercial world.
That the rivalry has been and is friend
ly one, even to the extent Of cordiality, is
shown by the fact that despite our rapid
increase in the supplies which we are Of
fering to the markets of the world. Great
Britain continues to take a proportionate
share of that increase. Our exports of
domestic merchandise to the United King
dom in 1879 amounted to $Si6 5.SSl, and In
1898 We're 1854. SsS Sc2. an increase Of 81 per
cent: while. as already shown, our gen.
eral exports increased 6S per cent during
the period. This Is the more striking and
worthy of remark in view OF the fact that
our own imports from the United King
dom have not increased at the rate her
purchases from us have grown. Indeed,
the imports into the United States from the
United kingdom in 1888 are no greater than
they We're twenty years ago the imports
from the United Kingdom in 1873 being
slSS, ,55S, ,S12. and in 1885. Sl0S.s45,ls5.
