Rooney tells me that he will meet OIL

EXPECT A HARD CONTEST.
Rooney has never wrestled In the

his work on the mat here and in other
places will agree with me that he is the
best heavy man in America. He weighs
in best condition about 1875 pounds, and he
is as quick as cat. The Dane weighs
fully 265 and his weight IS well dis
tributed. Unlike Yousef and Hall Adali.
the Turks, Olsen has no display
'front.' Of the aldermanic style Of hui
man architecture, but he looks to me
to be rather clumsily constructed, as big
men are apt to be, and this gives the
friends of Rooney hope for success In

Rooney met the two Turks under va
rious conditions, when they were In Chi
cago, and he gave one Of them a tussle
of an hour on the carpet, the Turk
stating later that Rooney was the worst
man he had ever tackled Since that

improved wonderfully. Olsen defeated

General Alexei Nicolaievich Kuro
patkin," says a correspondent of The
Chicago Times Herald, who 1t is said
will be sent to China as the command
er-in-chief of the Russian forces, is the
Russian Minister of War, and is prob
ably the most trusted, most powerful
and most faithful servant of the Car.
Long ago; when Kuropatkin was
young man, he was sent to Turkestan
with the Russian advance, and spent
his youth in high adventure and in
winning for himself honors, decorations
and promotion. When he had served
his apprenticeship in the marches and
bivouacs of the East he returned to
Europe and resumed his studies in
schools. At Paris he won the Legion
of Honor, and was the first Russian
officer to do so. This was in 1874. The
following year he went to Kokand,
fought in the Pamrs-the roof of the
woodland in the country of Kublai
Khan. He rode $500 miles on horse
back, came back, wrote book and won
the gold medal of the Geographical So
ciety. He entered the war with Turkey
as lieutenant and emerged from 1t a
colonel. For God, the Car and coun-
try was the motive of all his deeds,
and this faithfulness was not without
it's effect. Slowly he rose on the ladder
of advancement, until in 1898 he was
made absolute master, under the Car,
of the armies of all the Russias.
Kuropatkin's rank will probably give
him command of the allied forces in
China"

The shirt-waist man is not with US
yet but IL this weather continues he
will come. The coolest people in town
during the reign of the dog star are the
Japanese men with their kimonas and
the native women with their holokus,
though yesterday some of the thinly
dressed japanese appeared with UNI
brellas and parasols. Many proud eau
c1stans answered to the mode Tesla
but IL cannot be said that they were
comfortable. The suspender chafed
and the close-fitting shirt chung, and
there was longing for the loose, cool
shirt-waist which all felt and few con-
fessed. Some confiding souls i'm any
old costume went up a tree at the
proper Punahou elevation OF ten feet
from the ground but 1t did them no
good. Old Sol was doing business there
also. Perhaps the most popular garb
of the day was the bathing suit worn
at Waikiki, though the tattoo found
favorites at the South Sea Islanders
settlement. Had the shirt-waist man
arrived. however, he would have had a
respectful hearing and perhaps might
have set the fashion.

STATUS OF THE CANAL.

The promise of the Craigin-Eyre syn
dictate to build the Nicaragua canal at
private expense, must be taken cum
grano sails. This syndicate is Thought
to be the railroads in disguise. AT any
rate it's influence has always been used
against the Nicaragua canal bill in
Congress and If it can delay action on
that measure at the next session by
promising to begin construction on its
own account, then there will be no lack
of pledges.
The Craigin- Eyre people hold the
concession granted to the old Maritime
company, the Warner Miller organiza-
ton. whose franchise became forfeit
some time ago. There is also an Eng
lish company operating steamers on
the San Juan river which claims to
have a monopoly of the carrying trade
Of that stream for fifty years. These
two syndicates apparently take orders
from the railroad interests. They are
undoubted obstacles to the plans of the
canal projectors in Congress. hardly
less formidable in their way than the
Clayton Bulwer treaty which a weak
Democratic administration was per-
suaded to sign in the days before the
war.
The canal lost it's best chance when
Congress, after the object-lesson of the
Oregon's long trip, refused to pass the
bill appropriating s10,oO0,000 to begin
the work. Since then it is undeniable
that the enemies of the canal have
strengthened their lines. They will try
their best to add to the number of their
adherents in the coming Congressional
and Legislative elections and unless the
people are active and vigilant several
more men of the type of Turpie and
Pettigrew may appear in the Senate
and House to do the railroads bidding.
In preparing to send delegate to
Congress Hawaii should have care to
choose one whose committal to the
canal and whose future fealty to it is
not in doubt. The Advertiser has al
ways believed that Honolulu would set
more out of the canal in proportion to
it's size and the extent of It's commercial
interests than any other maritime city.
San Francisco counts on great things
and would, of course, benefit by low
freight rates and by sea shipments fer
it's fruit: yet its connection with the
Oriental trade would suffer as respects
the tonnage visiting its port. Steamers
from the Far East that go to San
Francisco and discharge cargo for rail-
road transfer East would naturally
clear for Atlantic ports via the canal,
stopping at Honolulu en- route. This
would be of great commercial utility 10
us and it requires, therefore, all the aid
Hawaii can give the canal IN Congress.
/ Perhaps, who knows, the canal bill
might carry by one vote and that the

The British postoffice, which controls
the telephones, is not, seemingly, max
ing a success Of the enterprise, so, far
as satisfactory service is concerned. 1t
is said that within week more than
700 complaints of delay in the use Of
the government telephone trunk lines
were registered with the National Tel
ephone Company. The complaints re-
ferred to delays of from half an hour
to two hours over the whole of Great
Britain. 1t took an hour and forty
minutes to make connection between
London and Gravesend; two hours and
six minutes to get reply to the ques-
ton, Are you there?' between London
and Manchester; from Bolton to Bury
twenty minutes by rail, fiftyfour min
utes were required to get connection
Postoffice calls are for three minutes
and may be extended to six, when nc
matter how far the conversation has
progressed the takers are cut off and
new connection must be made.

Former Speaker Reed, it is said. has
declined to take the stump for McKin-
ley and Roosevelt. He does not like
the President mainly because Mckinley
got the nomination in 1896 which Reed
thought belonged to him. This excuse
FOR refusing aid to the party is not one
that Republicans accept and the ex-
Speaker, when the next chance comes
around, Will be likely to find himself
without even the small support he had
four years ago. Roscoe Conkling de-
clined to help Blaine in 1884 and was
never heard of as a party leader after
ward. Yet he was a far more distin-
guished and powerful Republican than
Reed ever got to be in his best estate.

to the first daily mail by stage coach
from Pittsburg to that place, on April

follows: THE daily mail brings us
some thousand miles nearer the world
and the rest of mankind. The Pittsbure
newspapers are now received the day
following their publication, and we can
get along without a telegraph. The
fare for passengers from Franklin to

The Cotton Cure for caterp,llars.

The caterpillar pest. which few
years ago wrought great havoc among
shade trees in various cities, has been
almost wholly done away with in Phil
adelphia. The preventives which were
applied in the shape of cotton wound
around the trunks of the trees, have
tended to lessen the breeding of the
pests, so that now the worms are doing
very little damage to the trees. These
rolls of cotton furnish a fine breeding
place for the eaterpillars, but they are
so easily found that by using a poison
ed water early in the spring thousands
of the destructive worms are killed
