Mr.. Dockery's Comment on Bryan 5
Speech of Acceptance.

Kansas City, Aug. "a. NJ. Dock
cry, democratic candidate for COVER
nor, passed through Kansas City to-
night en- route for Holden, Mo-, where
he speaks tomorrow He was seen
by The Republic correspondent just
before taking the train. and, in re-
| ply TO a question, said:
II regard the speech of Mr.. Bryan
as one OF the most masterful deliver
ances of the century. Our leader is
not only one OF the greatest orators
and most powerful logicians of the
country, but his ability with the pen
easily gives him first rank with the
great writer's of the age. Thomas
Jefferson, in my opinion, exercised
more power with the pen than any
other statesman in our history, but
it is a question, in view of this singu-
larry gifted production. whether Mr.
Bryan is very much his inferior in
that respect. This speech at Indian
apolis is text book for all political
speakers.
1T is at once an inspiration, an
argument and a challenge to the adj
vocates OF colonial empire, which |
promises to sweep the democratic |
national ticket to a splendid victory |
in November.
Il have been Investigating the stu
alton in Missouri with special refer
ence to the national ticket, and if the
gains which are reported from almost
every township are an indication of
the sentiment prevailing throughout
the nation, Bryan's election may be
as already assured
Mr.. Dockery was asked his opinion
as to the party situation in this
state, and what majority he expect
I'd for the democratic state ticket
He laughingly replied:
ooh | don't know. The republic
ans, as usual, are CARRYING the state
tbout this time OF year. This is a
habit with that organiza-
ion, but their triumph usually ante
Iates election day. You can say,
however, that the democratic party i.
II the state is in splendid fighting
rim, thoroughly enthusiastic and i;
evoted to the principles of the party, !
nd, in my opinion, its verdict in :
november viii be exceedingly salts !,
lctory to every opponent of imperi- r
lism from the Ozarks to the Iowa

Leaves for Coast to Bring Down Ma
teral for Electric Car System-Some
of His Plans.

w. II. Pain, who left by the Rio de
Janeiro for the east, is on a special
mission. 1t Is no less than to hurry to
Honolulu all the material required for
electric railways in the city and sub
urbs. The calculation is to begin work
early in the new year and rush it to
completion.
A man close to Mr.. Pain states that
the tramways manager has secured
the promises of various outside settle
ments to patronize his line. In consid-
GRAFTON for these pledges he promises
to lay the track as close to the vari-
Gus localities as possible. The system
will touch all of the settlements
around Diamond Head and Kaimuki
and will approach close to the valleys

you see, it is like this. When the
government considered Pains applica-
ltion it was expected that the Rapid
Transit lines would be established at
once. This was over two years ago,
and there are no electric cars yet. The

thing has smaterialized. People are
getting tired of this sort of thing and
Pain will get all the backing he wants
from property owners and moneyed
men if he will get a move on as he
now promises to do.

STORMY LAYSAN ISLAND
THE HELENE HAS A VERY LIVELY
TIME.
She Returns. With Turtles, Laysan
Canares and Gony Working
Under Great Difficulties.

The Wilder steamship Helene, Cap
tain Freeman returned from Laysan
island late last night, with cargo OF
fertilizer and a captain and crew very
glad to get back from one of the hardest
trips a Hawaiian island steamer has
ever had The Helene was at Laysan
when the recent storm passed over that
little island and she had a terrible ex-
perience. The steamer rolled so heaV-
lily that he boats on the port side were
unlocked by the water, and seas wash
ed over the top deck.
. The Helene lay at Laysan for "a days,
and was only able to do days steady
work. Captain Freeman says the waves
looked to be about 60 feet high and
that the rain drops were as big as quar-
ters. Four times the steamer had to
turn tail and make for the open sea for
safety, once going far out of sight of
the island. Work is such conditions
was impossible. The steamer had or
ders to get full cargo if the coal last,
er, and she stayed with the game.
Captain Freeman says he does not
think he wants to live on Laysan ISL
and. There's nothing there but birds
and eggs and a wind that blows like
mischief" he said. 1t is an interesting
place to visit, however, and the Captain
says he didn't mind his lively trip.
The Helene came back with two huge
turtles on her deck, with Laysan ISL
and canaries all over the vessel and
with several boxes of big Gony eggs.
The Gony lays an egg like a cobble
stone. The eggs are to be found in
great abundance and are good eating
The men on the Helene almost lived on
them, boiled, fried, scrambled and cook
ed in every other way and all say that
they enjoyed the fare. Gony eggs form
ed part of the steamship bill of fare on
the way back.
Birds are so thick you can't see the
island" said Captain Freeman, "and at
night they fly at the steamer lights and
get hurt in the rigging. They can be
killed with sticks or, some of them
taken by hand. The canaries are caught
with nets on the end of a pole"
The Helene was little over three
! days in going to Laysan and about -four
days on the return trip. The rest of the
time since November 8 she spent in q
struggle with the elements at Laysar
and the struggle was so constant tha1
Captain Freeman says he only got q
chance TO leave the ship and go ashore
once.

ARMY 10 SINK WELL.

From advices received by the last
mail it is very probable that the army
department will sink fresh water well
on he naval reservation. This has not
been officially confirmed however and
Captain Shaker is waiting for news
from headquarters in Washington,
d. c.
Some time ago the territorial gov
ernment began charging the army
transports for supplying them with
fresh water. AS this expense was very
large Captain Shaker conceived the idea
of sinking a well on the government
property and avoiding the payment of
the unnecessary fee. After a consulta-
tion with Captain Merry, who was then
in command of the naval station, Cap
tain Shaker wrote to the army depart
ment and suggested that the well be
sunk on the navy reservation at the
expense of the army and that the navy
department be permitted free use of the
water. He sent a general estimate of
the probable cost, fixing it at about
$1,000.
Inasmuch as the work was to be done
on naval property 1t was necessary for
the heads of the two departments to
discuss the matter. In the information
which reached here by the Doric it was
stated that the navy department had
approved of the suggestion. All that
now remains is for the army depart
ment to authorize the work and make
the necessary appropriation.

EDGAR LEWIS TALKS OF MARKET
AND PRICES.
Wars are Responsible for the Big
Figures Charged for Certain Neces-
Sales.--future is Hopeful

Honolulu has been the prey in the
past six months of expensive fluctua-
tiOns in the cost of various lines of
groceries. Traced to the fountain head
the cause seems to have been, and is,
the wars and war preparations of the
past two years in various parts of the
world. Local grocers have struggled to
keep prices down, and it seems to be a
fact that they are selling on shorter
margins now than ever before.
The local market is Immediately af-
fected by the mainland What canned
goods or macaroni are worth i'm Europe
cuts no figure here. A European war
however, as for instance, the Transvaal
trouble, which would draw from the
American supply, would advance prices
here just as it would in San Francisco.
The war with Spain, war in South AfrI-
ca, rebellion in the Philippines and the
war in China are responsible for the
strong figures in groceries.
The above are the obServa tiOns of Ed
gar Lewis, of Lewis & Company, gro
GERS. I'VE have not advanced the price
of many things to our customers" Mr..
Lewis continued, although we are pay
ing more for goods than ever before.
In nutshell, the situation is one of the
demand getting ahead of the supply.
Flour has not advanced. This is one
trick of the market that is hard to un-
! derstand as wheat is easily affected by
war SCareS ana the ike. Inc nigh price
of butter l think is only temporary.
After the colder months when the grass
on the California ranches is better, !
! figure that prices will go down again.
Eggs are high because they are high
/ on the Coast We used to pay II to e
cents for eggs in San Francisco Now
| they cost 80 to 40 Island eggs bring
/ 60 cents. We must have California
! eggs. Were is not for these shipments
! the island eggs would be worth 81 so
| because there would not be enough tc
go around
There has been a great advance ir
beans. This is due directly to wars
/ When Uncle Sam starts out to buy
beans he simply sweeps the marker
| clean. That is where the supply gets
the worst of it again, and prices go up
The same thing happens in canned
goods. The military authorities at Sar
! Francisco start out to buy peas or q
dozen other things, and the orders are
so large that the Gamers have to cas-
about through the country to get the
goods. 1t takes some time for the mar.
ket to recover its normal status after
drains of this kind. Hams have no
advanced, although bacon has.
81 do not think there is anything II
the Orient and the continuance of tn,
war in Africa. So long as the American
farmer can sell his meat, his butter
eggs and beans to war governments 70
big prices he will not sell them to III
for low prices. a few months of peace
would bring prices down to where the!
. belong"

BA|RD'S REAL POSITION
WAS NOT ORDERED TO SUE FOR
LAND.
Merely Investigated and Reported back
Dole Receives a Letter.

United States District Attorney Baird
denied this morning that he had ever
received any instructions to bring suit
for the recovery of land sold by the
Territorial government since June IA
last A statement that he had recei-
we'd such orders had been freely made of
late.
"The orders 1 received have been
complied with to the letter." continued
the district attorney. 'If there are any
other duties in connection with the
matter they will have to be directed by
further orders from Washington"
Mr.. Baird's original instructions were
quite comprehensive and sweeping
They gave him more power and threw
upon him more responsibility than he
desired. In fact, he was given the
power, if he deemed it proper, to bring
suit However, no such instructions
We're given. On the whole, the order
was more one to get information, with
the additional powers above stated
After figuring out the matter the dis
trict attorney decided to secure full
information on the whole subject anC
then leave it to his superiors to de-
termine a future course.
This he has done. Land Agent j. F
Brown supplied him with a full state
ment of land deals since September 2S
1899, which was forwarded with the re
port. Mr.. Baird expects to hear from
Washington in a short time in REGARD
to his report, but, at this time knows
nothing of what the policy of the gov
ernment is or will be in regard to th
land sales.

ALBERT EDWARDS LUCK.

of Wales has been the biggest winner
on the English turf for the season of
1900, i'm which fiat racing ceased today.
His recent fortunate years probably
now balance the number of lean years
dating from before he owned a stable
in his own name. His present fine stock
is mostly the progeny of the mare Per-
dita II, which the Princes trainer pur-
chased for $500. The Sandringham
stud stakes were won by her produce
and their value at the stud exceeds
200 900 pounds. She is allied 10 the cele-
brated sire st. Simon, which has pro-
duced the famous brothers, Florizell

TO ABOLISH BoUNTIEs.
Beet Sugar Countries to Adopt a New
Policy.

WASHINGTON November 27.-Con-
sui Barnes transmits from Cologne, the
following translation of an article from
the Cologne Gazette relating to the abO-
lition of sugar bounties, as proposed by
the German, Austrian, and French de-
legates in conference in Paris:
At their final sitting today, the Ger
man. Austrian, and French delegates
who have been discussing the prelimi-
naries of the abolition of the sugar
bounties came to satisfactory under
standing. France declared herself will
ing to agree to the abolition of the di-
rect bounties, while reducing the in
direct bounties by so per cent and maxi
ing a proportionate alteration In the
duties. The German and Austrian de-
legates proposed that France should
reduce the indirect bounties by two
thirds; but the so per cent reduction
was finally considered sufficient to af-
ford a common basis of discussion at
new sugar conference shortly to be
held at Brussels. Russia, Great Britain
Italv and Belgium will be invited to
send representatives to the Brussels
conference.
In connection with the future attitude
of Russia. Austro- Hungary has made
two reservations in regard to her even
tual position in the matter. These con-
ditions, however. will not affect the con-
vening of the Brussels conference.

that the only one of the San Francis
co health authorities who had any
thing to do with his coming to Homo

the China's experience, can probably be

MONEY Will BE- Returned

Attorney-General Dole today submit
ted to the Governors council a letter
which he had addressed to Sheriff An
.drews, of Hawnii in regard to moneys
remaining in the latter's hands as re-
ceipts for merchandise licenses. After
consideration 1t was recommended that
the Attorney-General instruct Sheriff
Andrews to return such moneys to the
merchants with the understanding that
if the old license law be sustained by
the Supreme Court their licenses shall
date from the original time. This Will
be done. The government has asked
the Supreme Court for an opinion as
to the legality of the merchandise Ii
.cense law and expects to have ruling
in a very few days.
Attorney General Dole also reported
that he had written N. c. Willfong, of
Hilo, in reply to a letter of last week,
that there was nothing in the Hawai-
ian laws to prevent him as tax assessor,
accepting the Office of United States
Deputy Marshal for Hawaii; and that
so far as he knew there was nothing
in the United States law to prevent
it, but if so he could doubtless be in
formed of the same from the office of
Marshal Ray.
Governor Dole brought up the mat
ter of the dispensary for the Board of
Health. 1t was decided to defer it un-
til after the receipt of statement
from the treasurer, as to the finances of
the government.
b. F. Dillingham;, F. M. Hatch, Ell
mer E. Paxton and c. H. Kleugel came
in in regard to the exchange of land,
proposed some time ago, on the west
side of Honolulu harbor. The question
was as to whether the transfer should
be made to the railway company di-
rect or to some outside party as trus-
tee. 1t was decided that it should be
direct, and Mr.. Hatch Will so amend
the papers.
Superintendent McCandless reported
that the sand under the channel wharf
had shifted to the front and that there
was now only nineteen feet of water
in the berth for vessels. He had told
Hackfeld & Company that if they would
pay the expenses of dredging out the
berth again he would recommend the
legislature to reimburse them.
