A BILL WILL NOT SUFFICE.
1t VIII Talso q Constitutional Amcndmen

South In Congress.

Washington, November 3O.--Rep-
resentative Edward d. Crumpacker,
of Indiana, member of election com.
mittee No 3 in tho last Congress,
arrived in Washington to day and
reiterated his intention of pressing
for Legislative action at tho coming
session of Congress n bill to restrict
tho representation of the Southern
States to the votes actually cast in tho
Congressional election.
"I believe the enactment OF such q
law" said Judge Crumpacltor, "would
be one Of the greatest blessings that
could happen to the South. Their
local political interests would be off.

the South cannot be remedied by
legislation. Wecannot legislate brain

question is one that must be solved by
gradual development of tho negro
race, but the conditions should be
made equal for all voters"

The hammer was stamped SAT-

and the handle were perfectly new
and had never been used. 1t would
seem that the hammer had been
bought from the stock of some store
either inside or just outside the
State, possibly the very day of the
robbery, and the man who sold it
should have no trouble in recalling
the sale and at least the appearance
Of the man who bought it.
The express company will give Il
reward for any information as to
where the hammer was bou hit and
by whom. Information should be
promptly sent to J. H Sands, super
intendent Southern railway, Charles

The authorities would also like to
hear from anyone who say anybody

day of or several days prior to tho
robbery.
The express company has caused
signs to be printed and being put in
conspicuous places all directions Of
fering a reward Of $500 for infor-

Yesterday the authorities called
on Governor McSweeney and re-
quested him to offer an additional re,

and conviction. The Governor has
not yet announced his decision, but
he will very likely offer a reward o.

The Columbia division Of the South
ern railway extends into North Car
olina and Georgia. and has mills on
it's lines in both those States. The
foregoing lists, it will fe noted, in
clude only the mills in South Caro-
lima on this division, and omit those
on the line of the Charleston division
of the Southern.
There are reported 48 mills already
built, IA under construction and IA
additions under construction. The
two last classes combined make in
effect % new mills now going on up
one of the railroad systems in South
Carolina. This total has never before
been approached, and the revelation
of industrial activity it affords is i'm
posing in its magnitude. All this
mill building taxes even the great
equipment of the Southern railway,
for the aggregate of brick lumber
and machinery to be hauled to
the sites reaches an enormous ton
mage.
The statement of new construc,
tions is probably as accurate as CAL
be made offhand, for the railroad
authorities who have to make rates
lay sldetracks and handle materials
for the new mills naturally know
what projects have actually material
lied; but it is possible that there a,
other mills already assured which
have not yet been registered on tn
railroad records. These we will b.
glad to add to lists if their projec
tors will furnish us the necessary in
formation. Mill building must b.
going on besides on other railroad
than the Southern, and particu
lars as to these are desired by tn
State.
Five of the new mills reported b.
the Southern railway will aggregat
100000 spindles, If tho remaining
% new mills and additions shoul
average 10,O00.spindles each-whic
seems reasonable tigure-it woul
make the total splndles represente
by these constructions reach 100000
It is safe to say that over 10000
spindles with their complement G
looms will be put into operation i

THE PARTITION OF SAMOA
REVIVAL OF BLAINE'S PLAN
FOR DIVISION.
Germany Would Like 1t Because She
Would Get the Best of It-England
the Worst of 1t.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-There is
some suggestion that Mr.. Blaine's plan
of a partition of Samoa may again be
brought forward although it has not
assumed official form thus far. 1t is
based on the idea that as the Samoan
group consists of three large islands
each of the three interested nations
would take one of the islands. The
Germans insist that they have pre-
dominating influence on the large Is
land of Upolu, where the capital, Apia,
is situated, and that in any partition
Upolu would fall to Germany. On this
basis the eastern island of Tutuila with
it's harbo of Pago Pago, would fall to
the United States. and the large west
ern island of Savaii to Great Britain.
At present the government is pre-
pairing to take possession of its har-
Dor at Pago Pago, and a collier is now
loading at Norfolk with supplies for
that point. But while it is one of the
best naval harbors on the Pacific there
is much doubt whether this govern
ment would be contented with a naval
harbor alone, while Germany absorbed
the rich, commercial parts of the is
land group
Nor is it believed that Great Britain
would accept q partition which assigns
to her the western island, which is
barren and mountainous. While, there
fore, the partition of Samoa is being
put forward in a tentative way, it ap-
pears to involve too much animOSity
to prove of practical solution. Germa-
ny probably would accept such a solu-
| tion, as it would give back that com
mercial preponderance the Germans
have lacked since the treaty of Ber-
lin was made.
LONDON, March 25.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Morning Post says:
Il am informed that Germany regards
| the withdrawal of Chief Justice Cham
bers from Samoa as imperative and
! that a refusal on the part of the Unit
ed States to withdraw him would be
| equivalent to the abandonment of ne
| gotiatiOnS concerning Samoa"

KILLED BY An EXPLOSION
HORRIBLE FATE. OF A LUNA AT
WAIMEA.
Blown Up by Charge of Giant Powder
and Big Caps in His Pockets-F. Kei-
ser the Man.

BY an explosion of giant powder at
Waimea, Kauai, last Thursday after
noon, F. Keiser, one of the lunas on
the plantation was killed
Keiser was in charge of a gang of
men engaged in blasting for a ditch.
One charge of powder went off and set
fire to the grass. The men turned in
to put the fire out. A fuse in the
ground had, in the excitement, been
lost sight of. While Keiser happened
to be standing just over it the charge
went off.
Even that was not the worst feature
of the accident. Keiser had in his
pockets a number of giant caps. The
concusSion exploded all of these. The
ground explosion raised the luna into
the air and the explosion of the caps
in his pockets tore his stomach fright
fully and accomplished his death.
Keiser was well known and well lik-
ed. He was a man of about 35 years
of age His wife is now in Germany.
1t is not known that he has children
living. The funeral the day after the
accident was attended by the whole
neighborhood
Keiser had had a singular string of
accidents prior to the fatal one noted
above. Last summer while fitting a
cartridge in his gun the piece went off.
The ball grazed his face upward and
he was thrown down into a gulch,
landing at the bottom in an insensble
condition. A little over a week ago,
while in charge of a blasting gang, a
flying rock struck him in the back and
knocked him down. In falling his head
came in contact with a rock and was
again rendered insensible.

GENN GUARDED CLEVELAND
MAGIC SHIP COMES IN WITH \
HORRIBLE LIST.
Has Had All Sorts of Impossible Ex-
periences-Feared Though That Her
Crew will Desert Her Here

The transport Cleveland arrived in
port last night, ION her side" as it was
described by one who saw her. She
had a list to port that was variously
estimated at from 10 to As degrees. At
any rate it is believed to be enough
to slide most of her crew off at this
port.
SO decided is the list she has that all
day today the vessel has been an at
traction for curiosity seekers. Nearly
every ship master in port has been
around to take a look at her. Captain
Klitgaard says the list is due to the
fact that her bunkers are of unequal
size and as he was only allowed sufIi-
cient coal at San Francisco to reach
here, as the coal bunker got empty,
the cargo on the port side listed the
vessel that way. For the last two days
her port rail has been nearly at the
water, while her starboard rail was
50 high up some of the sailors said
they could scarcely see the water from
it. This however is undoubtedly a
forecastle eXaggeration.
The Cleveland has no army officers
or soldiers aboard. j. NJ. Simpson, the
purser, has entire charge for the gov
ernment of her cargo.
If the Cleveland should list clear ov-
er on her side, and get to Manila that
way as it was jOcOSely suggested that
SHS HlSHI, IL would not surprise the
old salts. She has had some expert
ences that sober navigator would de-
clare were impossible. When she was
in the Klondike trade she lost her pro-
peller somewhere north of Vancouver
Island. She drifted among some dan
gerous rocks and into some tortuous
channels. Her officers and crew aban-
doned her and took to the boats With
out a soul aboard she drifted into a
channel and over some reefs and among
rocks, where it is believed no vessel
could be taken under the most favor
able circumstances. Then she drifted
out again, was recovered. repaired, and
is now in the service of the govern
ment.
She was formerly the Kahului, run
ming between Maui and San Francisco,
and before that she was the Sirius. If
any one should say she had been a
blockade runner or pirate he would
be believed, for nothing is beyond be-
lief in connection with the Cleveland
Some even believe she will get to Ma
Mia an right.

BAuLENTYNE AND CASTLE.
RAPID TRANSIT PROMOTERS ARE
HOME AGAIN.
Have an Invaluable Collection of In
formation Concerning Eastern Street
Railway Systems.

c. q. Ballentyne, w. r. Castle and
James b. Castle, all of whom have
made Investigations in the states in
the interests of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit Company, returned by the Chi
ma last night from San Francisco. Mr..
Ballentyne went east on purely rapid
transit business w r. Castle was al
so expected to aid Mr.. Ballentyne with
his fund of information and advantage
of acquaintance in the east. The men
have conferred together at various
times.
Mr.. Ballentyne brings to Honolulu
what may be termed n mass of find
ings. Neither he nor Mr.. Castle have
reached any conclusion as to the pow
er to be employed. The latter favored
thorough investigation of compressed
air, but owing to the fact that this
power is still in an experimental stage
little more than was already known
could be CLEANED at New York.
The gentlemen have with them COM
plete plans of electrical plants and ev-
cry part of an electric system, with
options on the machinery for a sufiici-
ent period to enable the stockholders
to act and still protect themselves
against an upward market. So COM
plete are the data that the stockholders
can find information upon which they
may proceed to purchase everything
required
In a few days. perhaps early next
week, a meeting of the stockholders
will be held at which this information
will be submitted. 1t is expected that
a move can at once be made in the di-
rection of machinery, roads and rolling
stock. Negotiations have gone so faI
that a start on the power house and
motor part of the system can be madl
at very early date.
Mr. Ballentyne feels we'll satisfied
with the results of his trip, and those
who are acquainted with his work fee
that much has been accomplished.
Mr. Castle looked after the interests
of Hawaii in the east. He was presen
in Boston at several dinners, did d
great deal of work at Washington anC
lectured on the Islands in Chicago. The
reason there was no legislation on Ha'
waii at this session was that Congress
felt the Islands We're fitted to take care
of themselves for the present, and thu
matter was overshadowed by more mo
mentOuS business.
