SUGAR. RICE AND TRUCK.

Savannah, Ga. December 29.-Meet-
ings of the Savannah River Rice Grow
ers' Association and of the Truck
Growers Association have been called
to take steps against the admission of
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands
within the tariff wall of the United
States. The associations will coop
crate with the sugar producing inter-
ests of Louisiana. 1t is pointed out
that bot. Porto Rico and the Philip
pines are producers OF rice. With the
tariff bars let down they would grow
immense quantities of rice with Coolie
labor n Hood our markets, to the ruin
Of the home rice interests. And the
same applies to sugar. Porto Rico is
as close to the northern markets for
truck and vegetables as Savannah and
Jacksonville. II Porto Rican fruits n
vegetables were let in free, they would
catch the cream and profit of the north
ern Harket, to the detriment of the
growers in Georgia and Florida.

THE PLAGUE IN HONOLULU.

San Francisco, December 29.-The
steamer Gaelic arrived here today
from the Orient via Honolulu. She was
scare, but her cabin passengers were
allowed to land, tow boats plying be-
tween the steamer and the city for the
purpose.
The Associated Press correspondent:
at Honolulu sends the following under
date of December 23rd:
There have been no new cases OF
plague since last advices. There have
been several sudden deaths and in each
instance rumor assigned the plague as
the cause. Investigation proved other
wise. On the 18th the quarantine over
Chinatown was lifted and now business
is going on as usual in that district.
There have been no deaths by plague
since the 18th instant
up to that time five victims were
reported. The board of health now
claims that but two deaths were caused
by the scourge, the remaining cases
being doubtful CT suspicious.
Chinatown is being thoroughly
cleaned. A commission of three has
been appointed to examine the district
and report some scheme to remodel
the territory.
THE council Of state will be asked to
appropriate the sum Of 500, 600 at once
with which to carry out The present
plan Of altering and improving China
town in conformity with the sanitary
programme Of the board of health"
Washington, December 29.-The fol-
lowing telegram has been received by
the supervising general Of the
United States hospital service from
Surgeon d. A Carmichael, at Homo
lulu:
Honolulu, H. l., December 20.
There are two cases reported plague
in Honolulu; two deaths December

HOSPITAL SHIP FOR BOERS.

Philadelphia, December 29.-Over 200
delegates representing ninety divisions
ow the Ancient Order Of Hiberniaus OF
Philadelphia, with a total member ship
of 20, 900, held a secret meeting / Il In
dustrial nall tonight for the purpose
of taking some action with a view Of
helping the Beers in their war with
Great Britain. Alexander Mckernan,
president of the Philadelphia union, pre-
sided. After the meeting had adjourn
ed it vas announced that IN edelegates
c. all divisions had pledged every
member Of their respective divisions
to contribute $3.50 toward q fund Of
500, 0G0 20 be raised for the purpose
of sending a hospital ship TO the Beers.
Ii was also announced that strong res
olutions Of sympathy for the Beers
had been adopted, and that the mem
bers of the order heartily endorse and
will participate in the pro-BOer mass
meeting to be held in this city on jan
uary 18th under the auspices of the
Irish American Club.
Patrick O'Neill, state president Of the
Hibernians, stated after the meeting
that he had received many letters from
physicians from different parts of the
United States, offering their services
on the ship. Many offers of medicines
and other supplies, he said, had also
come ITO him..
When some of the delegates were
asked how they expected to get a ship
to the Beers in view of the fact that
the latter have no seaport, the dele
gates gave an evasive answer, and re-
fused TO talk about that part Of the
project.

ENGLAND AND UNITED STATES To CALL
HALT ON FRANCE.
To THE ASSISTANCE OF LIBERIA.
Rumored That They III Call on
France to Establish the Limit. OF
Border-Visit Of the Cruiser Mont
gomery to Liberia Last Fall The
Purpose OF Establishing "a Coaling
Station on That Coast.

London, December est has been
learned by a representative of the As
sociated Press that the United States
cruiser Montgomery's visit to Liberia
is apparently the result OF overtures
made to Washington by that republic.
Though the British is in
complete ignorance OF the purpose OF
the Montgomery's mission, The estab-
lishment OF a coaling station in Liberia
by the United States is regarded as
scarcely probable. as, il is asserted. no
Liberian port has any facilities for
coaling, all of them being open and
surf bound.
The Associated Press representative
learns, however, that a far more i'm
portant step in under consideration. 1t
consists in a joint request of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain upon
France TO define the boundary between
the territory she claims and that claim
ed by Liberia. This step is not yet de-
cided pom, but Great Britain only
awaits the United States assent TO be-
come a party TO such a request.
1t is alleged that France for many
years has been ~encroaching on Liberia
and it was only by the strenuous pro-
test of the United States that she was
prevented from appropriating a large
slice of Liberia in 1892.
Washington, December 29.-Although
the naval officials will make no official
statement respecting the cruise of the
Montgomery to West Africa, il is ad-
mitted that the ship was there in the
early fall, returning to her station at
Buenos Ayres about the LIST of last No
vomber. These dates in themselves
may be regarded as sufficient to dis
pei any impression that the cruise was
in any manner connected with the war
between the British and the Beers.
AS to the real objects of the cruise,
it is believed that the navy department
had its eye upon a possible coaling sta
ton on the west coast. as is indicated
in the foregoing dispatch.
Before and during the civil war the
United States had no less than three
were practically abandoned when the
West African station was dropped
from the list, but the chief Of the equip
ment bureau, Admiral Bradford, has
strongly urged that they be re-estab-
lished so as to ensure our naval YES
sells a source of supply of coal when
passing from the eastern Atlantic
states aroun to the Philippines and
China, in the event that the Suez ca
nal should be closed against them. The
Liberian government has always been
willing n even anxious that the sta
ton on its coast should be kept up, il
only as a manifestation Of the interest
of the United States in the colony 1t
created and to protect it by our moral
influence against European aggression.

STRANDED ON HATTERAS.

Chicago, December "a special to
The Tribune from Norfolk, Va, says:
The loss of about ten other men can
be added to the already long list sacri-
feed in Saturday nights big hurri-
cane, in which twenty-one met death
at HatteraS, and fifteen of an unknown
ark in ~mid-ocean, for they undoubt-
edly went down in the wreck that was
discovered today off Hatteras, the
most dangerous point OF the Atlantic
coast.
The first news was brought by the
British steamship Ashlands, Captain
Lewis, which arrived several days over
due from Galveston to Marseilles via
Norfolk for COAL. Captain Lewis stat
ed yesterday, when about twenty miles
north, one quarter east of Diamond
Shoals lightship, off Cape Hatteras, he
passed the wreck Of a large three mast
ed schooner, and the only things Wis
ible above the water were the top
maStS. There were no signs of life
about the vessel Or wreckage floating
and the sea was too rough to permit
his ship to go near the wreck. The
size of the mastS indicate a large sail
ing vessel. whose crew was not less
than ten men.
The schooner undoubtedly sunk in
Saturday nights storm and being
twenty-five miles from Diamond
Shoals, which are eighteen miles from
shore, no distress signals were seen if
shown No shipwrecked sailors have
been landed and the men must have
gone down with their ship.
The Ashland had a rough trip, as did
the Kairos, which left Galveston four
days ahead, and which vessel also ar
rived today.

SUCCESSFUL COALING AT SEA.

Washington, December 29.-The ma
val board which conducted the trial of
the Miller coaling system has Submit
ed a favorable report to Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the equipment bureau.
The board conducted these experiments
with The ~battleShip Massachusetts, and
the government collier Marcellus, the
battleship towing the collier, which
supplied the former with coal in 500
pound bags by means of the towing
lines as an aerial trolley. The tests
were conducted under varying condi-
tons of weather, and in h opinion of
the board were eminently successful.
In weather as heavy as it was prac-
ticable to coal ship under any condi-
tons, the device transported about
twenty tons an hour safely.
