BIG TRACT IN NORTH KoNA FOR
HOMEsTEADS.
Governor Dole and ], F. Brown Decide
To Open about 1000 Acres at Early
Date-All Good Land.

THE particular business taking Gov
ernor Dole and myself to Hawaii near
ly two weeks ago was to look into the
matter of opening a tract of land in
North Kona, above Kailua, containing
about 1000 acres, for settlement. Be-
fore l left Hawaii arrangements had
practically been made and it may now
be stated that the land will soon be
opened"
That was the statement of ]. F. Brown
commissioner of lands, this morning.
Our principal work in connection with
the matter" continued Mr.. Brown "was
to look into the matter of roads to con-
meet the tract with civilization. The
land is at an elevation of between 1000
and 1000 feet. 1t is good property and
Will probably be in demand. The ques-
ton OF road to it was the problem.
1t was finally decided by us to leave the
selection of the route of the road to
Surveyor w. w. Bruner. He will go
right to work at it and will soon be able
to report. There is already an appro-
priation for such road so that it can
be pushed through as soon as the route
is selected.
I'VE also went to South Kona and
looked over tract there, but no def
mite conclusion was reached nor will
there be until further survey work is
completed.
In general we found both North and
South Kona greatly improved. This is
due to the new roads. The coffee out
look does not seem specially encourage
ing, at least so far as the Whites are
concerned. A great many japanese,
and a few Portuguese, by the way who
do their own work and live cheaply, ap-
pear to be doing well. AS for cane
planting it was our impression that
both of the Konas afford good country
for it.
Governor Dole expects to return by
the Kinau next Saturday"
Mr.. Brown returned from Hawaii by
the Kinau last Saturday. He went to
the hirr isln nd II.itln thn CnI.ni.rnnl.

CRIMINAL CASES FIRST
HUMPHREYS SAYS CIVIL. CASES
MUST WATT
Term Trial Jury Called in the Circuit
Court this Morning-Only two Mem
bers were Excused

Circuit Judge Humphreys announced
this morning that criminal cases would
for the present take precedence over
civil cases on the calendar in this court.
The term trial jury was called and the
prospective jurors We're told that the
court would hear any reasons why they
should be excused from serving on the
jury. Half dozen presented reasons
why they should not be required to act.
The majority of the reasons given We're
on account of the pressure of personal
business. Several said that their en-
ployers were absent on the Coast and
there was no one who was able to carry
on the business satisfactorily if the
clerks summoned to act as jurors We're
required to serve. The court however
regarded none of the excuses as suffi-
cient and with the exceptions of two in
stances refused to excuse the men from
service. The exceptions We're made in
the cases of George Kluegal and Mike
Harvey. The former excuse was of a
private character which he had pre-
viously explained to the court, while
Harvey was excused because he was
deaf.
The court announced that the attor-
ney general had reported that criminal
cases would be presented very soon for
the attention of the court and had asked
that the jury be excused until IL o'clock
which was granted.
1T is the present intention of the
court" continued Judge Humphreys "tC
take up all criminal cases at once. AS
soon as the criminal calendar is falling
to pieces and the most of the criminal
cases cleared up the attorneys in civil
cases will be notified when their cases
will be taken up. No jury cases will
probably be assigned to Judge Silliman
Attachments were ordered issued for

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
FOR IT.
Inspector Flint will Increase Facilities
For Present and Ask Congress For a
New Building.

Postoffice Inspector Flint has COM
pleted arrangements for temporarily
fitting up the postoffice at Hilo. The
facilities in the present building will be
greatly improved, and Congress will be
asked for appropriation for post
office building of the class in which Hilo
comes, In the meanwhile every conVe~
nience will be proved there.
81 returned from Hilo by the Kinau
on Saturday, stated Mr.. Flint, my
business in visiting the town was to
ascertain just what was necessary to
equip it with the facilities to which it
is entitled. 1 believe that everything
will now run smoothly, and 1 know that
in time Hilo will have a postoffice that
will be a great credit to the place. In
my report to the Postmaster General l
shall recommend a new postoffice build
ing of size and on plans to handle the
business for years to come.
you understand that the appropria-
tion of the late Republic of Hawaii for
postoffice at Hilo is not available for
that purpose. This appropriation was
for $4,000 and was made prior to an
neXation, in May 1898. l have asked
Mr.. McCandless, superintendent of pub
lie works, for an opinion and he thinks
that annexation having occurred before
anything was done that the money can
not be used l agree with him, and
required
''At Hilo I made arrangements for all
running expenses, such as clerks, cleo
trio lights, etc Between 200 and 300
extra lock boxes are needed at once and
will be put in. l will also order big
safe for the main office and distributing
cases of the latest pattern, like those
ordered for Honolulu. For the present
we will have to occupy the old building.
From inquiries made think it would be
impossible to rent a building for use.
On the mainland the department some
times has a building fitted UP by a pri-
Vate party and then takes it for ten
years or so. l am afraid, however that
the system is new here and could not
be carried out The best. to be done is
to give every facility possible until
Congress passes the appropriation for
a suitable building"
Mr.. Flint said: 'In the first month
mo4Iey order offices had been establish
ed. Pohoiki, Hawaii, had been changed
TO "Kapaha" and the site moved four
miles from it's present place. The other
offices established were Kihei, Maui and
Waiohinu, Hawaii. This makes fifty
three money order offices in operation,
the largest in the history of the Islands,
Mr.. Flint says: 'In the first month
of the establishment of money order
offices in theHawaiian Islands 5000 or
ders were issued. In Porto Rico, with
eight times the population, less than
5000 orders We're issued in three months.
The showing is immensely satisfactory
to me, will be to the department at
Washington and am sure should be to
the people of Hawaii"

garding the result of our trip to the
! other Islands. We went for the pur-
pose of looking into the practicabiIity
OF having our steamers stop at Maui
and Hawaii. The conditions look very
favorable for such an extension and
1t may be that such will be added Mr..
Sewall and l will meet with the ship
perS this week before our departure
ana talk over rates with them. Every
thing has practically been arranged for
starting our steamships as advertised
next month. Had we been unable to
| install the service when we said. the
advertisement would have been with
drawn.
According to our present plans. we
Will take about 65 days to make the
trip from New York. During the sugar
shlpping season we will first send the
boats to San Francisco and then come
10 Honolulu where we will load for
New York In other seasons we will
first stop at Honolulu before going to
san Francisco. We have made no at
tempt to cater to passenger trade and
will not do so for the present"

Credited to Him.


In connection with the action of
Judges Humphreys, Siliman and Cal

Association banquent Friday night,
and the charge that there was a pre-

Advertiser this morning publishes the
following communications from George
d. Gear and w. o. Smith:
Editor Advertiser: The statements
attributed to me in the Republican of
tOday--to the effect that the attack on
the Judges at the Bar Association dim
ner was premedated, and that l knew
it; that Messrs. ThurstOn, Dole and
Kinney nodded approval to Mr. Nc
Clanahan's statement; that Mr.. Thurs
ton knew of the plan, and that Mr.. Me-
Clanahan was selected as the tool to
make it; that Mr.. Thurston endeayored
to try to place Mr.. Humphreys in a
ridiculous light, or that the whole in
sulting arrangement was made in ad-
vance and Kinney and Thurston and
Dole knew it was to be done"-were
not made by me. The other statements
in the interview are in the main correct
and voice my opinion in the matter.

dent of the Bar Association and |, as
chairman of the dinner committee, ar
ranged the toasts for the evening.
Through some failure this was not done
until just before we went to the table.
At about Z o'clock, when Mr.. Neu-
man arrived, he and I together made
up the list of toasts, and then had ditti-

Every effort had been made to have a
good banquet and delightful time, and
there was no suggestion or intimation
of anything to the contrary.
The statement that preference was
given to an Advertiser reporter and
that he was given a seat at the ban
quet is not true. There was but one
reporter who slgnified any desire to re-
port the proceedings. He did not have
a seat at the banquet table, but re-
mained i'm the adjoining room of the
hotel, where number of persons as
sembled during the the course OF The

4 vote representing almost the tnii he
publican strength of that body--the Pres
iaenH's solemn and righteous injunction
regarding Porto Rico.
'fOur plain duty said Mr.. Mckinley,
in his message to Congress, is TO abolish
all customs tariffs between the United
States aud Porto Rico and give her prob
ucts free access 10 our markets. How
has the House responded TO this earnest
Recommendation? BY passing bill that,
if concurred in by the Senate. will i'm
pose a tariff tax of 81, 100000 TO $1,000
600 upon the struggling. poverty-strlcken
people of the little island.
What a spectacle is thus presented TO
the country. \ Republican House over
rules the solemn and just decree OF a
Republican President! The country has
no knowledge of any changed conditions
since the Presidents message was writ
ten 1t knows of NO change of policy or
sentiment on the part of the Executive.
Our duty is as plain, as pressing, today
az it was in December last. There was
a ring of genuine, generous Americanisn
in THE Presidents utterance. LII was the
Recommendation OF Christian, patriot,
and n statesman. Yet the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES,, moved by an influence
mysterious and inexplicable, procialms To
the Nation that Mr.. Mckinley was
wrong: that we really do not owe such a
duty ito Porto Rico as he SO clearly AMI
earnestly indicated. ~
Verify this is spectacle, not only for
the country, but for the world. What OF
our boasted mission to redeem and Chris
tianize? What of our lofty pretensions Of
n wear or so ago? Are We giving evidence
of good faith by imposing a tariff upon
our own wards more bIIdensome than
that provided in the pending reciprocity
treaties for the benefit Of the British
tradesmen of Jamaica and Trinidad?
The proposition is wicked upon it's face,
and the great mass of honest American
people will continue to look at it askance
in spite of all the oratory from the Stump
which Republican speakers can put forth
