A New Tree Scheme.

Some sharpers are working new
tree scheme in central Kansas. The
agent comes and agrees to plant one
acre Of ground in fruit, such as ap-
Piles, pears, peaches and small fruits,
for $40. One half Of this sum is to
be paid down on delivery and the
balance to be paid at the end Of five
years. They agree then to take one
half Of the fifth years crop as their
payment for the remaining s55. They
agree to send a man to trim the trees
and superintend the work Of caring
for them. The buyer in the mean
time is to sell all the small fruits and
guarantees to keep an exact account
so that at the end Of five years he can
state just how much the acre Of
ground has produced. Don't bite at
this sort OF bunco steering.

Mr.. bR1eHT's RABBIT.
How the Reverend Gentleman Dis
plaved His Workmanship.

R. R. Biggs, a substantial farmer
living on the outskirts Of Glasco, and
an intimate friend Of Rev. John
Bright, tells this story on the good
Christian gentleman:
Rev. Mr.. Bright is a good marks
man, and be is fond Of sport. He was
confident that with a good gun he
could kill jack rabbit "on the Jump"
as far as he could see it, Armed with
two Of the best guns the town OF
Glasco afforded, Biggs and Bright
started out for an afternoons hunt.
Nearing the farm house Of a neighbor
Bright saw an object in the brush
near the road, and calling Biggs' at.
.tention to it, said: "Just watch and
see me kill that jackrabbit." Taking
aim, he pulled the trigger he didn't
see the object he shot at stir. and
confident that he had killed his rab'
bit, he started to the spot and saw
that instead Of it being rabbit it
was a fine Plymouth Rock chicken.
Imagine his horror when the LADY OF
the house came running out and for
some time, it is said, the dust around
the elders feet was almost suffocating
for the more Bright apologized to her
for killing the chicken the louder she
talked. Presently Biggs came up
ard being acquainted with the LADY
and seeing the predicament Mr.
Bright was in got her attention and
introducing Rev. John Bright to her
he told her that it was purely acct
dental. for he mistook the chicken for
rabbit, the matter was quoted and
the elder made most handsome
apology to the lady. No man goes
to Glasco who is held in more esteem
than is Rev. Bright, and it is needless
to say that the lady whose chicken he
killed by mistake and her excellent
husband are members Of Rev. Brights
church

ORDER FROM washington
ONE REFERS TO WORK OF COURT
OF CLAIMS.
Jurisdiction OF The Court Extended
over the Entire Group-Delayed Mes
sage From Hartwell

The DoriC brought copies of the Ha-
waiian bill, congressional proceedings,
and some minor dispatches for the Gov
ernment. One of the kilograms was
from Judge Hartwell. 1t was intended
for the China, but failed to connect at
San Francisco, and was therefore about
ten days late. A second telegram to
President Dole direct, read as follows;
Answering your letter of March 81,
the President directs me to say that he
hereby authorizes the commission of
five, approved by him February 9th to
adjudicate all claims for losses that
have occurred in the Hawaiian Islands
by reason of the action of the Board of
Health in it's efforts to suppress the
bubonic plague. JOHN HAY"
1t will be remembered that the first
dispatch regarding the Court of Claims
referred to Chinatown. President Dole
immediately wrote, notifying the pow
ers that be that not all the property
destroyed was located in Chinatown.
The new order extends the court so that
all other property, even including that
at Kahului and Hilo is admitted
The Cabinet did not hold a meeting
today, but will have one tomorrow. 1t
is learned that the resolution of the
Council of State yesterday will have the
effect of delaying the work of the court
and that it may be this autumn before
business can be begun again.
The personnel of the conference COM
mittee on the Hawaiian bill is very
pleasing to the ministers. In the list
are Senators Cullom and Morgan and
Mr.. Hit all of whom were members
of the Hawaiian Commission.

STANFORDS ARE COMING.

Letters arrived by the Doric from A.
b. Haslacher, manager of the Stanford
baseball team, who wishes to bring his
nine to Honolulu this summer for a SER
les of games. 1t appears that the team
has really decided to come, and has
made practically all arrangements to
that end. OF the matter the manager
says:
1--WE are to leave here 'on the first
steamer in June for Honolulu, where
we will meet the local mines as per
schedule which you and the other gem
tlemen who have been apprised are to
arrange. Our expenses for nine men
and a manager are to be guaranteed,
though we will advance $3.50 subject to
the amount of money made by you In
the series That is, If you clear $3.50
or over in the games, we get our money
refunded. If not we get whatever part
of the $3.50 you can make clear of all
expenses. Anything you clear over $3.50
is of course, yours"
In another paragraph the manager
says: I'VE have an excellent nine here,
and l feel certain that some baseball
of a high degree would result should we
cross bats with any of the Islands
mines"
Just now baseball is in rather pickle
here. There is not a suitable place for
the games. Several of the Star men are
just now visiting on the Coast. Withal.
good nine could be put in the field.

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
FAVORS IT.
President Mckinley Does Not WanI
Action Until ay-Pauncefote Treaty
is Disposed of-The Situation.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Chairman
Hepburn of the Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce has been
engaged today in circulating his petit
ton among the Republican members
Of the House, asking the Committee on
Rules to report a rule in the near fu-
ture for the consideration of his Mica
raguan bill. Up to tonight he had re-
ceiVed the signature of every member
approached with the exception of three.
Richardson, the leader of the Demo-
cratic minority has also been indus
triously circulating a similar petition
and has met with no refusals among
the Democrats.
1T is probable that when the petit
tions reach the Committee on Rules
they will contain the names of nearly
every member, both Democratic and
Republican, of the House. Yet, in spite
of this fact, there is little probability
that the Committee on Rules will ac-
Cede to the almost unanimous request,
but, on the contrary, will refuse to re-
port a rule which will bring the Nicara-
guam canal bill before the House at this
session of Congress.
President Mckinley is opposed to the
Hepburn bill. He has sent word
through Congressman Dalzell to Speak
er Henderson and the Republican lead
ers to this effect.
So the petitions will he ignored i'm
this case for President Mckinley does
not want the canal bill passed until
the y-Pauncefote treaty is disposed
of in the Senate ard until the Walker
Commission, which has already spent
an immense sum in surveying the pro-
posed routes across the isthmus has
made a report. If, however, It becomes
apparent that Congress intends to take
the bit in its teeth the President will
probably urge that the Hepburn bill be
modified so that the fortifcation clause
shall be stricken out.

RUMoRs AMONG THE CUSTOMS
OFFICIALS.
Appointments Expected From Wash
ington - United States Treasury
Agents and Work They Will DO Here.

At the custom house, where a large
force of government employees are won
dering how long they will hold their
jobs, the arrival of the Doric yester-
day afternoon put a quietus upon rum
Crs that have been disturbing the
equanimity of officials for some days.
1t was reported that the local govern
ment had received word that the re-
venue cutter Corwin, or some other ves-
sci, was coming here post haste, with
United States treasury agents on hoard
to take hold of the customs bureau.
The customs department will natur-
ally at once feel the effects of Uncle
Sam taking hold of Hawaiian affairs,
as it is a federal bureau, and nowhere
is there more speculation as to the part
the carpet-bagger is to take in local
offices than in the custom house.
"There will be a general cleanup to
make way for men sent here by Wash
ington," said one of the political OBJ
servers of the bureau. "A political
campaign is just beginning in the
States and the Republicans need all
the strength they can muster. What
is more natural than that they should
strengthen themselves by using the
chance to distribute offices in Hawaii
where they will do the most for the
party?'
In the meantime the customs officers
are keeping the work up to the top
notch, for it is the general expectation
that United States treasury agents will
get here about as soon as news of the
settlement of the territorial bill amend
ments.
The first work of the treasury agents
will be to investigate how things are
going here. They will report to Wash
ington upon customs affairs in Hawaii
and from their report decision will be
made as to what officers are needed
here, how many deputies, etc. Tt all
depends upon the amount of business
in the port and if Honolulu is as busy
as now, it is certain that there will be
an increase in the force.

AN uNsELFIsH ACT.

There are many reasons to be ad-
vancd in favor of insuring that it seems
there are none against 1t. Buying life
insurance for ones family is an unsel-
fish act, and is done without the hope
of receiving personal benefit. There is
much relief from care, and so much
comfort in protecting those we love,
that fully compensates for all the self
denial that may be necessary to keep
up the premiums on a fair sized policy.
