Young Favored It.

The Minister thought the item was
one of the most important questions
discussed during the session. He
thought IL would be better for all con-
cerned to centralize the factories, and
proposed that a site near the Fishmar-
ket be utilized, and in addition he ask
ed that an appropriation OF $4,000 for
running expenses be inserted and
passed. The engineer could also act
as inspector of poi. The question was
then asked whether the rooms
would be rented directly by the Gov
eminent or auctioned off to the high
est bidder, and received an affirmative
answer to his last question. Achi said
In that case one man could get cor
ner on all the rooms and control the
entire poi market. Isenberg moved
that the item be stricken out, and was
supported by Achi. Councillor Kane
explained that as a Hawaiian ne be-
leved In having clean poi, and would
therefore support the Minister'S plan
to place the poi factories under one
roof where the output could be proper
ly inspected.
Councillor Allen thought that the at
tempt to renovate the old shops and
put in concrete floorings would entail
more expense to the manufacturer
than the rental OF space In the propos-
ed building, and he desired to see the
Government take hold of the matter.

HOW wcoLoRAFFEcTs INDUSTRY
one Reason Why American Machinery
 Is Not More Popular.

A gentleman who has travelled much and has very large interest in Amer iean export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal draw back to wider extension of American commerce in certain parts of the world Is that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes of their prospective customers. For ex- ample" he said, "a certain American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated in green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an invitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color in Japan. What Japanese wants is red things. Upon this simple matter of color rests the failure of that manu- facturer to succeed in export trade" A German employer of labor sa |: T like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- cerned, but they demoralize nay men. They come here in sober colors of paint and with no bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, and they get lazy. The German workman needs to be kept busy with things of this sort" Here, now, are some practical instances of what the American manufacturer must learD before he can attain the widest success in the new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germany cata- iogues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green, or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it. It looks as if We need in this country commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of curious and inquiring mind for theiE everlasting benefit and profit.

lHusaars as rxhihita.

An interesting and odd exhibit in the Paris exposition will be hall de- voted to the hussars of the world. Paintings showing the great deeds of men of this arm of the service will form large part of the exhibit. Ger many and Austria-Hungary will be represented particularly well, for the simple reason that the hussars of these two armies always have been men who did really wonderful acts of bravery and daring. Spain will have an inter- estfng group, showing her famous Praieesa Hussars, and Italy will show her Neapon Bourbons.

QUESTION OF AVAILABILITY.
LANDS NEEDED FOR COALING STA
TON AT DUTCH HARBOR.
Report of Special Agent Dixon on
Conditions Existing There Is Be-
ing Awaited I'm Washington With
Interest-Matters In Controversy.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE war de-
partment is awaiting with a good deal of
interest inter the report on the availaoiLity OF
government coaling station there. spe-
cial agent of the general land office was
sent there some time ago to examine into
the situation.
Last August Mai Robinson, assistant
quartermaster at Seattle. sent the fol-
lowing confidential telegram to the war
Holton Richardson. quartermaster's agent
on the transport Rosecrans, and now for
the first time made public:
Il desire to bring the attention OF the
department to the great advantages and
early necessity OF coaling station at
Dutch harbor While coaling at Dutch
harbor ] examined in a cursory way the
harbor, and found one of the best on the
Pacific coast. 1t is a natural. and the
only available coaling station for vessels
going to Nome and to the Orient from
Seattle seattle A natural sand spit has formed.
making perfect breakwater, and the
depth of water is sufficient to float the
largest vessel
The capacity of the harbor is so extern
slve that the navies of the earth might
safely be sheltered there. The two com
mercfal companies located at that point
have monopoly of the coal and supply
trade, and are exacting in their demands.
There remains territory sufficient to meet
fuliy the requirements of the government
ior eoaling purposes south and west OF
the harDor.
These lands. as also the land In the
spit, have been filed upon. and several
buildings constructed thereon-two on the
mainland and one on the spit These small
buildings are all made from one pattern.
indicating that a single mind is behind
the effort to secure these lands No bona
fide effort has been made to establish
thereon either manufactures or CONNER
cial enterprises. The lands are not min
eral In character. The time fixed Is Sep
TENDER next to prove up ON these lands,
thus placing them beyond the reach OF
the government, except by condemnation
proceedings. The improvements on the
land do not indicate an honest purpose
to obtain the lands in the manner pre-
scribed by law.
II suggest that the government at once
send competent special agent to make
an examination and report upon the ex-
listing conditions. and as to whether the
land In question ought not TO be In
state of reservation for future govern
ment use. The matter should receive i'm
mediate attention"
The telegram was first referred to the
general land office. and later to the sec
rotary of the interior, the secretary OF
war requesting early action. Special
Agent Dixon was ordered from Seattle
to Dutch harbor to investigate, and his
report is awaited.

POSTAL REVENUE REPORT.
Suggestions Are Made by Third As
sistant Postmaster General.

WASHINGTON. Dec THE report of
the third assistant postmaster general
shows that the total receipts from all
classes of postal revenue during the year
amounted to sl02 ,354579 while the expend-
itures reached sl07, 267. The value of
the total number OF pieces of stamped
paper issued to postmasters was S97,6S1,-
III, "A net increase over the Issue of the
previous year OF S,S56,111.
The report says that most OF the abuses
of the second-class mail matter have
been eliminated or curtailed, but urges
legislation on book Serials" premiums
for subscriptions and the return of un-
sold matter to news agents" Ii Is also
asked that congress be urged to pass an
act consolidating the third and fourth
classes of mail matter.
The report comments upon the excess
sive number OF articles registered free by
the executive departments, and says the
abuse of the registered mail In this re-
spect will continue until congress acts in
the matter. 1t is said that could the
amount paid as indemnity for lost regis
tered frst-class domestic mail be raised
to the full value, not exceeding $500, many
letters which now pass in the ordinary
mails would be gathered into the regis
tered mails. An indemnity fund not ex-
ceedng s25 900 Is estimated to be sufficient
for this purpose.
