Appointed Gauger.

Leaving the army, Mr.. Wilson went back
to his home and took a special course in
Wesleyan University. Later he read law
and was admitted to the bar at Eaton,
Preble county. He had hardly begun prac-
ticle. however. when his old commander,
Col. Williams. who had been appointed COL
lector of internal revenue of the third Ohio
district, offered him a position as gauger.
He accepted this position and entered upon
his duties May 10, 1869. His work was SO
effective that 1t was recognized at Wash
ington, and he was promoted to special
gauger. This was followed by another pro-
motion IN 1881 Mr. Wilson was then made

He entered the treasury service as den-

He remained in that position until President
Mckinley appointed him commissioner to
succeed Commissioner (now Senator) Scott
This was in March of 1899. Mr.. Wilson
never forgot a friend. and one of his first
acts on becoming commissioner was to nro-
mote his old benefactor and commander
Col. Williams, to be assistant commissioner
Mr.. Williams had remained in the service
after becoming collector in Ohio, but his
promotion had not been so rapid as that of

Europe is quick to respond to any i'm
provement and demand from this side
of the water. and our refiners have
The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-02-13

been good customers the past few
weeks, paying a very liberal advance
for beet sugars The total advance is
not fully maintained and with the
opening OF the rivers from ice in the
interior of the continent, larger re-
ceipts at the seaboard may cause a
freer movement and more desire to
realize fol a time at least. The tenn
perature In Germany has lately mod
Grated considerably. Our refiners are,
however, likely to be steady buyers of
beet sugars in the absence of any sur
plus of cane sugars available from the
usual sources. Cuba hardly enters in
to the question thus far. While very
considerable transfers of new crop SUI
gars have been made to spectators, or
otherwise, still the producers have
hopes of more favorable arrangements
regarding duties than those now in
force and are disposed to wait events
now transporting in our Congress in
this direction. This applies to Puerto
Rico and British West Indies sugar,
also. The delay in shipments of these
cane sugars will also be felt in con-
tinued demand in Europe from this
country, particularly as the receipts Of
Java sugars for the next six months
will be about $4,000 tons less than for
the same time last year The immedi-
ate future points to continued steadi
ness.

CoAXING RAIN.
Interesting Experiments With Sui
phuric Acid and Zinc.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27-Some of the
fruit-growers and grain-raisers of the
section of the country between this
city and the Mexican line have become
fearful that there is not going to be a
sufficient amount of rain to save their
crops and they are now endeavoring to
coax the moisture out of the clouds.
The last rain which visited this coun-
ty, although assuming the proportions
of cloudburst In some parts of the
back county, treated the Otay section
very stability. The precipitation was
not even half an inch there, while in
the Escondido section more than five
inches fell.
AS the days and weeks went by and
no more rain came, the crops all the
while getting drier and drier, the resi-
dents despaired of having anything to
show at the end of the season for their
labor and toll, and thought that the
third successive dry year was upon
them. The crops planted in the red
soil are still in excellent condition, but
those in the dark soil are suffering
considerably and unless given encour-
agement soon they will be beyond all
hope.
With this condition staring the
ranchers in the face one of their num-
Der suggested that experiments be
carried on to produce the much covet-
ed rain. The proposition was received
favorably, the ranchers realizing that
no harm could result therefrom and
that perhaps it would be the means of
their salvation. The method used by
the Rock Island road in Kansas, which
produced rain 1870 times out of 200 eX-
periments, was decided upon.
The money was raised by subscrip-
ton for purchasing the necessary ma
terial. The experiment was commence
ed yesterday afternoon and it is TO be
kept up seventy-two hours unless the
showers sought for arrive with less
coaXing.
Two hundred pounds of sulphuric
acid were purchased and 100 pounds
of zinc. The chemical action Of the
acid on the zinc liberates immense
quantities of hydrogen. Being much
lighter than air, it ascends quickly to
the clouds and by producing commo-
ton there is expected to cause the pre-
cipitation which the thirsty earth
needs. A thorough test is to be made
and 1t is hoped that the section will be
one of the ones to reap benefit from
the scheme of rainmaking.

Extend Fire Limits.

The ire limits should and must be
extended much beyond the present
lines. This extension, together with
coming legislation, to regulate the kind
of buildings to be allowed on any
street, will do much to control the re-
construction of Honolulu, and in> the
long run benefit property owners and
all concerned.
Coming events are today casting
their shadows before them; and 1t Is
safe 10 predict, though Honolulu has
NJ present only a population OF less
shan 10000 inhabitants, that the popu-
lation in 1905 will be close to 100000
and that in 1910 not less than 10000
people will be domiciled within and

quickly cures heir coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other seri-
GUS consequences. 1t also cures Group
and has been used in tens OF thousands
of cases without single failure SO far
as we have been able to learn. 1t not
only cures Group, but when given as
soon as the croupy cough appears will
prevent the attack. In cases of whoop-
ing cough 1t liquefies the tough mucus,
making it easier to expectorate, and
lessons the severity and frequency of

priving that disease of all dangerous

GERS of the army, met in the school
theater to elect president.
Amid great excitement the ballot
was taken, the result showing only 200
votes for General MERCER against 1000
for his adversary. Uproar and free
fight followed, General Mercier's parti-
sans declaring that the ballot had been
falsified Tables and chairs were over
turned and General Boisonnet, who
presided, was hustled.
Eventually order was restored and a
recount confirmed the defeat of Mer-
