Reports of Trouble on Maui and
Kauai Come by Steame. q.

There are rumors of another strike
on the Wailuku plantation on Maui.
Manager G. IL. Wells is reported to have

at last reports were returning to work.
on Kauai also there is said to be
trouble with the Japanese. The W. G..

the sheriff had been called upon TO re-
press the japanese. Agitators are
charged with stirring up the Japanese

on hand a goodly collection Of Year

Wireless telegraphy is an accomplish

from England on the Australia received
their official tests, and for two hours
messages were sent flying through

a success, and within three weeks more

Manager Cross was jubilant Saturday
over the success of the experiments and
the prospective conclusion of the long
period of preliminary work and worry
incident to installing the system.

ment since first broached the scheme ,,
he said. Il was laughed at at first, and
even after my trip to New York and

agreement was reached whose results
were seen today, scofferS. met me on
every nand. They prophesied first that
the Marconi peop.e would not live up to
their agreements. that they would not

tnat the system would not work when
1t was attempted. But now we have
our chance to smile. for in three weeks
more we shall be in shape to begin
commercial work between here and any
point on Lanai, Molokai, Maui or Ha-
wall. 1t viii be a somewhat longer
period before we can get our instru-
mentS in shape to connect with Kauai
but we shall be communicating with
that Island also in a few more weeks
We shall have but one station on each
island. and from it our messages will
be relayed by telephone or wire tele-
graph to other points. We could of
course, establish one of our stations at
every point of Importance on all of the
Islands. for our messages can be sent
as easily through and over mountains
ana plains as over the sea, but
as all the important towns and planta-
tions are already connected by tele-
phone or wire telegraph on all the ISL
ands, we should be simply going to ad-

Battleships.

Advices from Paris state that in
the Chamber of Deputies recently
the Minister of Marine, NJ. de Lam
essan, pointed out that France need
cd battle-ships to defend the coast
and also cruisers to defend the cole
MES.
Torpedo boats and submarine YES
sells were useful, he admitted, but
they alcne could not protect the
coast.
M. de Lanessan eulogiEed the
French Navy. He declared that
France was reinforcing her naval
arm, not with the aims OF aggression
but to maintain the economic inte-
rest and national honor Of France.
M. OailIaux, Minister of Finance,
who defended the programme of the
Government from a financial view
point, said that the budget, with
normal resources, could meet the
French sacrifices, amounting to 25,.
100000 francs $5OOOOOOl annually,
that were required by the measure.

counter bill proposing to fix the to.

The formal opening the other day

= cost of nearly $4O,OOO,OOO. The
new waterway, chiefly intended for
minor traffic, has cOstabout $6, ,OOO,-

ty-one miles, and the route followed
is, on the whole, that Of the former

tracing some of the trade of Aus

According 10 news received from
London there was remarkable ga

J. Newton, to celebrate the eompls-
ton of the Dictionary of National
Biography. More than tUo hundred

ssph II. ChOate, the United States
Ambassador.
Mr.. Morley said he regretted that
men like Washington, Jefferson. .Ha-
milton and Franklin, who, though
Americans, were of English birth,
were not included in the biography.
Mr.. Choate, responding to tho
toast of his health, said he alss was
struck by these omissions. He po'
inted out that only one American
woman was mentioned, Pocahontas,
and she only because she saved the
life of an English captain.
"Indeed," continued Mr.. Ohoats,
everything relating to Americas 70
psration from England in excluded,
and the reader will not learn from
the biography that America ever
came into existence as separate
nation. But the fact that Mr.. Nor.
ley claims such msn as Washing

kiln is an indication Of the bond
which exists between the two sOan-
tries, a bond which grows closer and
closer as time goes en-"
Mr.. Choats's last remark was
greeted with cheering.
