WILL OPEN PUBLIC
LANDS ON HAWAII
Cove, n ment TO Allow Settlers
On North KOna
Tract.

Nearly 1000 acres of public land In
North Kona, Hawaii, are to be opened
up as soon as the government can COM
plete arrangements to that effect.
Governor Dole and Land Commissioner
]. F. Brown have personally inves-
tigated the matter there. The prospect
for roads to the tract was looked into
carefully. The land lies at an elevation
of between 1000 and 5000 feet above
sea level and Is considered splendid
property. The road site will be sur
veyed by w. w. Bruner, who has been
requested to go ahead with that work
without delay. The appropriation for
the road is available and nothing
stands in the way of the tract being
connected with the sea-ports.
A tract of land in South Kona wa!
also investigated for opening to th'
public. Nothing definite in this mattel
was reached.

WANTS MANY SUCKERS.
Connecticut Firm Needs Four
Thousand OF Pineapple.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
received an order from a Hartford,
Conn.,, firm for 1900 pineapple suckers
to be delivered at New York City. The
letter states that if the first order can
be filed at a moderate price they will
also take a consignment of 100, 600.
Wray Taylor will make inquiries
among the pineapple raisers for the
first order. but doubts very much
whether 900 could be furnished.
He also received a letter of inquiry
from a canaigre root company asking
what were the prospects lor growing
the root in the islands. The Commits
sioner states that the first experiment
on canaigre root proved a failure. II
may be attempted again at the expert
ment station when the United States
Department of Agriculture takes
charge.

FAILURES In MAY.
They Were q Little Larger Than
Was Expected.

New York, June S.-R. G.. Dun & Co.,
weekly review of trade will say: Failures
In May prove little larger than was ex.
pectsd week ago. The commercial list
embraces 947, with liabilities Of $23, III,
15l and only six months Of the past
eighty have seen defaulted liabilities as
large. A single brokage failure &C
counted for more than half the whole
amount, and another followed with near
ly 81 200, 0O0 SO that the few failures OF
that nature were about 60 per cent Of the
aggregate for the month. The adjourn
ment of Congress after a useful session,
the progress toward peace In South Africa
and the rapid adjustment OF prices here
to a more natural level, all tend to bring
But progress has mot beeny rapid
and the yielding OF prices affects many
only as reaction, cutting of part OF the
profits supposed to have been secured.
The impression grows also that no ex-
tensive changes In business are now prob
able until after the Presidential election
and the possibility OF trouble in China
has at least as definite an influence on
American affairs as any change In South
Africa. The unsettled condition OF labor
controversies, moreover, operates strong
Iy for the time to limited pansion of do
nestle business. Yet the volume of bust
ness Is so large that a few months OF
waiting need not excite any apprehen-
sion.
Failures for the week have been 200 In
the United States against 1859 last year
and nineteen in Canada against ten last
year.

American Section at the Paris Ex-
position to Be Kept Open
Sunday.

Manila, April TO- Brig. Gen. Freder-
lex Funston Is under investigation for
the execution of two Fiiipinos. and a
.court-martial may result.
The story is that the Filipinos cap
tured three Maccabebe scouts who were
crossing the country near San Isidro
and were preparing to kill them. when
one of the Maccabebes escaped and
found Gen. Funston with scouting
party near.
This man guided the Americans to the
rescue of his companions. and when the
troops approached the Filipihos hed,
leaving the Maccabebes Several of the
Filipinos We're shot and Gen. Funston
captured two of them, took them to the
village square and hanged them wi hout
trial. as a warning to the Filipinos.
The present method of warfare and
instances of mutilation Of prisoners
have incensed the American soldiers IL
such a degree that they feel justified in
making reprisals, which has been done
on several occasions recently.
There is a strong feeling among the
issiuslits dHO lIleIluiSs4 Eli lIlOS alndl tHe
Chinese general, Pana. who, as an.
nounced on March 81. surrendered t.
Brig. Gen. kobbe, after terrorizing the
province of Panay, should be severely
punished.
1t has been pointed out that his career
has been more that OF a brigand than o.
a soldier, as he looted and extorted
money by torture from wealthy natives
and burned alive some of his followers
who intended to desert him.
