WHAT SENATOR CLARK SAID

Some time ago the San Francisco
papers published portion of an in t.
terview given out by Senator Clark in
Washington. Following is the full in
terview as published by the Washing
ton Post:
Senator Clark of Wyoming, who ar
rived at Wizards last evening from
the West, spent July and August of
this year in the Hawaiian Islands,
about which he talked very entertain
ingly to Post reporter. The Senator
is an enthusiast in regard to our pos
sessions in the Pacific; he likes the
country and the people and believes
that Hawaii presents splendid field
for American capital and enterprise.
There is substantial basis" said
he, for the prosperity of the Sand
wich Islands. The land Is immensely
fertile and will grow anything that we
produce in the United States. was
the guest of Col. Sam Parker, who was
prime minister in the last royalist
cabinet, on his grand estate, or, as we
would say, ranch, of 100000 acres.
Though 1t Is given up almost exclusiv-
ly to cattle raising, | am sure most of II
would produce magnificent crops of
wheat. Some of the cornfields | saw
on the islands were as fine as any that
Kansas or Nebraska could show.
THE sugar plantations are on the
food tide of fortune, for the profits on
cane are heavy and everybody in the
business Is getting rich. Coffee plant
ing has not been SO profitable, but I
think that eventually 1t will be made
to pay. The material development OF
Hawaii has been greatly assisted and
accelerated by annexation. Coming
under our flag has been of enormous
benefit. II has given confidence to the
people. and the guarantee of a stable
government brightens their whole flu
ture. Even the most ardent royalists
are forced to admit that American SUI
premacy in the islands is the best thing
that could have happened
What form of government, Sena-
tor, do the leading men of the country
desire?"
They wish Congress to bestow upon
| Hawaii regular territorial system OF
government, such as is in force in Ari-
IONA or New Mexico. In my opinion
that Is the most desirable policy to
pursue when Congress comes to legis-
late for the islands. At present the
government is very awkward and cum.
bersome. There Is no municipal oil
county government, and people resid-
ing at a distance from Honolulu are
put to great inconvenience for public
records are kept at no other place. Ho-
nolulu itself is making rapid strides in
the march of progress. Its harbor is
crowded with shipping, and its bust
ness men report unprecedented activity
in trade"

NURSES LET HIM DROWN.
A Soldier Left In the Bath While the
Attendants QuarreIed.

San Francisco, July &c. l. Mercy
nolds formerly a clerk in the Office of the
adjutaut generals department of the Pa
cific, writes from Manila OF the death of
Private William S. Sullivan, Company F.
Fourteenth Infantry, due to gross negli-
gence of hospital nurses. The letter says:
"on the night of October 81 the nurses
in charge of the ward in which Sullivan
lay were Bouquet and Nugent. Surgeon
Black made his usual visit and prescribed
a bath for Sullivan and wrote the order
on a slip at the head of the bed. The head
nurse called the attention of the two at
tendants to this order and then retired.
About 7:30 o'clock Nugent and Bouquet
prepared the bath and pat Sullivan into
the tub. He was left there some ten min
utes and then Bouquet and Nugent got
into a dispute as to who was TO take SUI
liyan out, and four or five minutes more
passed. .,.i..--- .t..,.., -,-,-.
When they went to lift Sullivan out OF
the tub his head was under water and he
was a corpse. The head nurse was hur-
riedly called, and Surgeon Black notified.
A telegram was sent to Lieutenant Mitch
ell saying that Sullivan had died of 'ty-
phoid fever and exhaustion
"A board was appointed to investigate,
with Major kobbe, of the Third United
States Artillery, at its head. The board
strongly denounced the nurses and rec
commended court martial. The finding
of the board went to General Otis, but in
spite of the magnitude of the offence
nothing has been done, and the nurses are
still at their posts

NOT ENOUGH MAIL BOXES.
a BAD Condition of Affairs Observed
Inv Mr. Heath


New York. July 22-While First Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath was in New

dition of the mails in the downtown dis
trict called TO his attention in forcible
manner. He was standing in front of

the box was already iammed full Step
ping back few PAGES the man opened up
On the mail box. the local postofiice au-
thorities, and finally on the administration
of the department which permitted such
a state OF affairs. For several minutes the
atmosphere was redolent with profanity.
1t was the fourth postal box. he said which
he had tried in an attempt TO get his letter
in the mail without success. Every box
was full Mr. Heath became interested
ana watched the box fa- four minutes, dur
ing which time four TnSn attempted to force
mail into the already overcrowded COX,
and all failed. He then made lit-le inves-
tigaton for himself. TO see If the box was
choked in any way. He found that 1t was
not, but that it was full up 70 the brim,
| and he reached down and pulled out a
handful, with which he could have made
away had he been SO inclined.
Mr.. Heath made an investigation AMI
found that although the boxes are sup
posed to be emptied every half hour, &c
cording to the schedule Gf co'fe ctions, II
was impossible TO keep trcm open. as the
mail in that section of The cry is Sc heavy
the boxes are filled every Ten minutes after
they are emptied. This state of affairs
prevails all OF the way from Twenty-third
Street to the Battery, on Broadway, and
alEo on other streets As soon as ne

rected another collection wagon should
be put on this service and yesterday he
directed that additional letter toxes should
be erected. Wherever there is letter
box on Broadway from Twenty-third

tricts OF Grand Street, Wall Street, and
elsewhere another Sc letter box is to lie
placed alongside of the old one, and when
new letter boxes are ordered special box
will be ordered for this district The new
box will be about foot longer than the
present boxes and contain almost twice as
much mail. Automobiles will be employ
ed to collect the mail if possible. New

the postal receipts for this year over last
