WILL ORGANIZE
CIVIL SERVICE
F. M. Higgins Is Expected
to Arrive on the Rio
Tomorrow.

f. NJ. Higgins, chairman of the Cen
trail Board of Examiners, Civil Service
Commission, is expected on the Rio
from Washington, D. c. He viii or
ganize in Honolulu two Civil Service
Boards, one for the Postal Department
and one for the Custom House depart
ment.
There now awaits Mr.. Higgins at the
local post office two bags of civil ser
vice papers and pamphlets to be used
in the examination of applicants for
positions in these offices. The Boards
viii be composed of not less than three
nor more than five persons. The entire
personnel of the Boards cannot be fill
ed by members of the same political
faith They must be divided according
to the strength of the political parties
in whatever district they are appointed.
If the Board is to be composed of five
persons and Republicanism is upper
most, three Republicans would prob
ably be selected as basis. The ex-
aminations of the employees of the
Federal offices will commence as soon
as Mr. Higgins can effect his appoint
mentS.
1t was at first thought that Mr.. Kig-
gins would be a passenger on the
transport Sumner, but as that vessels
course was changed eliminating Homo
lulu, he has probably taken passage or
the Rio which is due tomorrow. From
Honolulu he is to proceed to Manila
and there transform the military de-
partments there to a civil basis. Judge
Taft. chairman of the Philippine Com
mission, which passed through Homo
lulu sometime ago on the Hancock, wa:
responsible for the selection of Mr.
Higgins to effect these changes in Ho
nolulu and in Manila.

MANSON At
THE HOTEL
He Stayed There Three
! Nights.
REGISTERED ]. /, JOHNSON
Missing MANS Movements Traced
Until Friday Whea He Probably
Took Steamer.

Ia George Manson's movements have
been traceo out but little since Friday
last, the day on which he so nyster-
iously disappeared. Yesterday, how
ever, it was discovered that he had re-
nights of Tuesday and Wednesday, July
17eand Is, under the assumed name of
u. H. Johnson" and on Thursday I'M
der his real name
Bob" Scott. the night clerk of the
hotel, states that sometime on Tuesday
| evening Mr.. Manson came to the hotel
and asked for a room. The register was
| turned to him anu he signed without
| the least hesitation the name of j.
II. Johnson" Mr.. Scott knew Manson.
and thinking that the latter did not
wish it made public that he had stop
ped at the hotel he made no comment.
Manson was assigned to raom %.
The next night ---anson again came
to the hotel at a late hour and entered
into conversation with the night
clerk.
The only feature of the conversation
which Scott remembers is one state
ment which struck him at the time as
being singular coming from a man OF
Mansons standing.
Where do you think L went to- day,
said he; well, l went away out of the
city and came upon a little Japanese
barber shop. Just out of curiosity
went in and had my hair cut, had {
shave and had my feet tickled."
The latter part 2f the sentence Scot
believes refers to Mansons feet which
? he said We're very sore. AS Manson
started off to roam 25 which was again
assigned to him, Scott called to hin
, to sign his naIae. He told Scott to d.
that and the name of j. H. Johnson
was again placed on the register, Man
I son smiling when it was finished.
I Manson came in again ON Thursda
a night, asked for the same room an
signed his own name, George Manson.
: on the register. Nothing more wa
seen of him since that time.
Some of Manson's effects are stin a
e the hotel in room %, and this cause
: some 40 believe that Manson intende
q returning to the hotel on Friday nigh
. and would have returned had ne nc
gone away on the Alameda as is ger
orally believed.

1T is now supposed" says London
weekly, that Lord Kitchener may be
appointed military governor of the
conquered (African) provinces, as his
stern sense of duty has alarmed SO
ciety,' which fears that, were he in
trusted with the task of reorganizing
the army at home he would ignore the
claims of the well-connected to live
at the expense of the community.

OUR POSITION IN CHINA.


Our Claim to Equal Facilities with
Other Nations Is Assured.
The diplomatic history of the United
States affords no better example OF
successful endeavor to secure by mutu-
al consent an evident right than that
offered by the recent correspondents
carried on under the Presidents direc-
ton for maintaining the open door"
of trade in China. The establishment
of spheres of influence in that ancient
Empire by European States, supported
by the control of important seaports,
has seemed to many to forebode the
practical partition Of that country
among foreign powers and the effect
I've appropriation of commercial privi-
leges in China to the exclusion of all
not able or willing to claim a portion
for themselves. By a timely series of
diplomatic notes Secretary Hay has OBJ
tanned assurances from the Govern
ments of Germany. Great Britain, Italy,
Japan and Russia, by which they
pledge themselves not to interfere with
the perfect freedom of trade in those
portions of China where their influence
may prevail. The unobstructed en-
joyment of the privileges of trade is
thus secured to American manufacture
ers and merchants by the free consent
of the powers.
Perhaps the most important fruit of
this unprecedented negotiation may
prove to be that all the powers, feel
ing the assurance of unrestricted com
merce, may be disposed to ac~centuate
to a less degree, or even abandon, that
policy of commercial annexation which
has apparently been promoted by the
absence of such a Just and reasonable
understanding. The American claim
to unrestricted facilities of trade in
China is not a special favor asked and
granted, or demanding reciprocity. 1t
is based on treaty rights which prom
Use equal rights to Americans with the
citizens. or subj ects of the most ia
vored nations. The recognition of these
rights has been obtained at a mo-
ment when they were apparently about
to be ignored.

Imports from that island averaged

to Rico the imports of the year are
but 1880. 900. which is less than the
total for any preceding year since
1880, and is due to the destruction by
last years tornado of the crops which
supply Porto Rico's chief articles Of ex-
port. From the Hawaiian Islands the
imports for the full fiscal year are s21.l

importation for the period prior to

Exports to Porto Rico in May have
more than doubled as compared with
the preceding May. and imports from
the island are nearly doubled. Ex-
ports to the island from the United
States in May. 1899. were 1906. 564. and
in May. 1900. were $696.47 The i'm
ports into the United States from the
island in May, 1893. were SCAT .179, and
in May, 1900, $l,103. 1867. The May COM
merce with Porto Rico shows a much
greater increase than is the case with
any of the other islands. With Cuba
the commerce of May differed little
from that of May. 1899. and this was
also the case with the Hawaiian is
lands; while in the Philippine islands
the imports show no increase. though
the exports show a remarkable gain.

THE EUCALYPTUS TREE.
1t Lives During Drought by Stealing .ws,
ter From Other Trees.

ter From Other Trees.
The eucalyptus tree. which grows ev-
erywhere in southern California, is we'll
adapted to a dry climate. because ID is
able to live without rain. This quail
ty is due to its ability to appropriated to
itself, through its roots. all the moas-
ture in the soil within n wide radius.
An illustration OF this is cited by tAe
owner of an orange orchard. He ne
ticed hat the orange trees along the
edge of the orchard. which stood thirty
feet from Il row of eucalyptus trees, did
not grow well. Extra allowances Of
water and dressing had no improving
effect. Finally he dug down beside the
orange trees and found n network OF
roots coming from the eucalyptus
trees. They were absorbing the water
that belonged 10 the orange trees. The
orchardist thereupon dug a french the
whole length OF the row and chopped
OF all the eucalyptus roots that he en-
countered. For n year the orange
trees did finely. Then the eucalyptus
roots, having grown out again. caused
the orange trees TO suffer for water.
h owner thereupon cut the eucalyp-
tus trees down.
