Hawaii. He spent much time and some
money following up the first indica-

many respects, he says, the formation
here is like that of the diamond fields
Of Kimberly. But after researches ex-
tending over several months he came
10 the conclusion that, while the for
nation there is like that in which dia-
monds are found, the process has not
yet gone far enough, but is still going
on, and that in the course Of 100000
years or so Hawaii will be great dia'

UP GOES BEEF.
Demand for Roast and Corned.
Goods Causes Big Advance
in Prices.

Chicago. July 2s.-The Record says:
Prices on corned and roast beef have adj
vanced from $1.25 to $3.50 per dozen for
one pound cans. This is the largest adj
vance ever made by Chicago and west
ern packers at one jump.
The cause of the advanced is the large
demand for these goods by the United
States government and foreign powers
When war was declared between the
United States and Spain in April. 1898.
the packers and their agents through
out the world had 20 million pounds OF
canned roast and corned beef stored.
This was disposed of and the packers
began to replenish their stocks at their
various warehouses.
Before this was completed the British
Boer war drew heavily upon the meats
stored England could not get her reg
ular supply from Australia, owing to the
drought which had killed off many cat
tie. Then before they had time to stock
up again with these commodities, the
boxer trouble brought heavy demands
from Japan and China.

SEE DANGER FOR GRIMES.
Politicians Suggest That He Drop
Senatorial Fight

Some of the Republican politicians
have made personal suggestions to the
effect that Frank Grimes. state treasur-
er, and nominee for reelection, will en-
counter opposition at the polls from the
members of his party, unless he ceases
being such an active partisan and sup
porter of one of the candidates for Uni
ted States senator.
This suggestion has been made in a
friendly manner and an effort has been
also made to convince the treasurer that
state candidate should not mix up in
such an extensive muss as the contest
for senator is proving to be-
Mr.. Grimes is one of the most loyal
men in Kansas and his devotion to the
cause in which he is enlisted amounts to
nothing less than worshipping at the
shrine, and the chances are that he will
continue at act as his own conscience
suggests, but some of his friends despair
at the complaints which are being made
against the maintenance of senatorial
headquarters in a state department. One
of the state officers today said:
Mr.. Grimes is making a serious mis-
take in permitting the stenographer paid
by the state to write Mr.. Burton's let
tiers but none of US feel like telling him
about it. Now don't print what I have
said, because don't want to get into a
quarrel with the treasurer. but neverthe-
less it's true

GOVERNORS ISLAND
To be M4de the Best Equipped Mill
tary Establishment in the World.

b8IY GSG6OI1Snm6QL IN the w OTlQ.
New York, July 2s.-PIans for enlarg-
ing the facilities of Governors Island, in
New York harbor, and making 1t one of
the best equipped military establish
ments in the world. as well as a center
of the transport service in this country,
are now underway The work is under
direction Of a board comprising Major
General John r. Brooke, commanding
the department of the east; Colonel Gil
leSpie of the engineer department, and
Colonel Amos S. Kimball, assistant quar-
termaSter general. These officers were
selected by Secretary of War Root some
time ago. to survey the field and present
their recommendation to the war de-
partment. The first meeting was held in
General Brooks Office a day or two ago,
and another will be held the early part
of next week.
One of the first problems taken up was
that OF removing the transport service
depot from South Brooklyn to the island
and making it the central depot of the
country, with vastly increased room and
facilities and more convenient of access.
one great difficulty cOnfrOntS the board
in the proposed change-that of securing
a sufficient dockage depth around the is
land to admit the draught of the big
ports draw 25 feet of water. and thus
considerable dredging will be necessary.
Here lies the problem for it is believed
that the island is bedrock and to remove
lions. AS a preliminary to any further
progress in this direction. the board sent
out a sounding party and until the result
is learned nothing more will be done in
this direction.
Among other improvements in view
is the erection OF an immense supply de-
pot, central agency for the army posts
and camps in all parts of the world. The
scheme is merely tentative now and has
not reached the stage where plans can be
drawn to embody the boards ideas
Should the board decide to erect other
buildings, there will be no lack Of room
The board is also considering either the
enlargement of the present barracks or
the erection of new quarters. The quar-
ters will easily accommodate a battal-
ion of soldiers. and 1t is thought advisa-
Bile to increase these facilities. But, with
sufficient room for a battalion of men,
the officers quarters are now made
quate. There are good reasons for be-
lieving that the boards report will in
clude a recommendation for some addi-
tional houses and other necessary build
ings.
