THE MILES INQUIRY.

WASHINGTON, February 2O.-The
Miles court Of inquiry to-day made a
good start In its work. General Miles
and several minor officers In the Army
testified and while they generally adj
mltted that the refrigerator beef was
good when fresh. they were almost
unanimous in condemning the canned
roast beef.
The trend OF questions put TO the
witnesses of the day indicated that so
long as they agreed with General Miles
as to the quality OF meat furnished the
troops In the field, the only criticism Of
their position the court had 10 make
was why they had not taken some OFF,
cial steps to have the matter remedied
at the time. In every instance the reply
was that the circumstances In which
the Army was placed. in a sickly for
cign country, with large amount OF
fighting and a great scarcity OF trans
portation on hand. precluded the possi-
bility OF any such action. In each In
stance the question was pushed no fur
Their on this line.

A LANAI ESTATE
Maunalei Plantation Fa-
vorably Reported Upon.
Findings by w. J. Lowrie-C Gear
Lansing d Co.. Launching
the Enterprise.

Gear, Lansing 4 Co. will at once
launch the Maunalei Plantation Co.,
with capital Of 100000. The tract
Is on the island OF Lanai, where sugar
was first produced commercially in
these Islands. The company has a
tract OF several thousand acres, with
good landings, seven miles Of sea front
age and a width OF a mile and a half
to three miles. The land Is under lease
10 the new company for fifty years. a
large amount Of the stock Is to be
placed In the United States, having
been engaged some time since. There
Is to be planted In cane at once 1000
acres. The following report on the
lands of the Maunalei Company Is
made by Mr.. +. j. Lowrie, formerly
manager Of Eva plantation and now in
charge Of the cane estate Of the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Co.:

visited the island Of Lanai and ex-
amined the lands Of the proposed new
plantation, the water supply and also
the seed cane growing on a portion OF
same. / was told by Mr.. +. II. Hay
selden that according to surveys made
by Mr.. II. Eldredge, Of Wailuku, Maui,
there are below the 400 feet elevation
5000 acres of cane lands, OF this amount
bout 1000 acres are On the fats and are
not over so feet elevation, and between
the 400 and 600 feet elevation about
500 acres. These lands, I consider, are
very good and more especially those on
the fats. They, ] am sure. compare
most favorably with the fats at kau-
nakakai, MOlokai, and at Waimanalo,
Eva plantation, which TO my mind
are among the best cane lands In this
country. In this whole stretch, ] did
not find a single salty patch. The
lands between the SO feet and 400 feet
elevation have considerable rock scat
tered among them, but they appear to
be mostly surface stone. The soil Is
very good, mellow, and will raise
equally as good cane as the side hills
at Lahaina plantation. The water sup

and judging from the immense guam
titles flowing into the ocean, as well as
the quantity and quality that Is being
pumped iy the centrifugal pump for
irrigation OF the seed cane. There need
be no fear but you can develop all the
water required.
The fifty 500 acres OF seed cane now
growing on these lands are in my Opin-
ion equal to any young cane OF same
age in this country, and the manner 1t
has been planted and irrigated reflects
great credit on young Walter Haysel-
den.
The fact that you have fifty acres of
Lahalna seed cane growing (about
three~fourths of same well advanced)
puts your company in first class po-
sition TO begin planting by June 18th,
and will furnish you all the seed cane
necessary to plant 1000 acres OF cane

SEASICk ON SEA LEGS
Officers And Sailors Of the Navy
Frequently Distressed.

1.-THE officers and sailors of the navy
are frequent sufferers from seasickness,
even after they have got their sea legs
on" observed a naval surgeon to Star
reporter. Indeed, 1 think [ can safe
ly say that, young and old, one-third of
the entire navy officers as we'll as men,
are seasick during storms as well as at
other times. In theory naval officers
and sailors are entirely free from such
SO. called weakness, but, in fact, they
have stOmachs and are sufferers at
times the same as che rest of humanity
The sailor, in this respect, has many
advantages over the naval officers, and
Is less sensitive to seasic kness, for the
reason that he seldom has what is
called shore duty to perform, and be is
on the ship all of the time, barring the
days off now and then of liberty.
With an officer it is entirely different,
for he seldom has to spend as much
time on the ship as he does on shore.
The three years. sea duty Is generally
followed by three years. shore duty,
during which time his sea legs and
stomach entirely disappear, and have
to be built up again. It is rare that an
officer on return to sea duty does not
have to go through all the pain
full and distressing experiences
of his first seasickness,
and am not sure but each recurrence
of this experience is worse than the
original. 1 know a dozen officers OF
from fifteen to twenty-five years. OK

WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Dec. 27.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
The past week, interrupted as it has been
/ Oy the holiday. has been naturally very
quiet one in the wool trade. Prices are
steady and there are no weak spots to
be found as far as a very careful canvass
Of the situation reveals. The few sales
which have been made have been gen.
orally at full prices. The wool trade an
ticipates a high range Of values for next
year, as may be indicated by the fact
that attempts are being made in several
sections CT the west to contract for wool
on the sleeps back Indications are that
the entire clip for next year viii be con-
tracted for at an earlier date than was
ever known before. The sales Of the week
in Boston amounted to 2,27o,000 poundsd0-
nestle and 10000 pounds foreign, making
total OF 2.350.O00 against a total Of
ASSOC for the previous week and to-
tai Of 3,795, O00 for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since January l, 1899,
amount to 3471S5,776 pounds, against H.
1880 pounds last year at this time The
number Of textile mills constructed or
contemplated in the United States for the
last half of 1899. as reviewed by the
American Wool and cotton Reporter, is
1S3 against If for the first half of the
year. This makes "A total OF 299 mills for
the year, against 262 for 1928 and 155 for
1907
