New York. February 1.-THE dropping ten

losses ere small but the decline from the
early high range was considerable. The
opening was abovo last nights level, in sym
pathy with London but even in the initial
transactions the weakness Of local traction

the market.
Prices sagged gteadly from that time until

final dealings. This rallied tho level OF the
market from the Lowest. hu- the movement

was net encouraged by its good news from
South Africa to buy stocks here, and in fact,
prices sag1ed IN the home market. Consols
lost ali OF their early gain, supposedly on the
immiuancc Of the new Issue. There was no
occasion for surprise, therefore the local
n!arEet failed to hold on the South African
news The bears had not as much ammuni-

difficulty had been expei fenced in Sc
curing the land in Chinatown for the
extension of Kukui street and he was
authorized to proceed Tor the condem-

necessary. He reported likewise that
Vineyard street would soon be extended
to Liliha, and he told Of the work which
has been done towards widening Wal

had favored the project and would sell
their property at moderate rates.
The hawaiian Electric Company ap-
piled for permission to drill a we'll on

HOW THEY INTEND
TO SPEND FUNDS
Independent Leaders Plan to
Loot the Treasury
Quickly.

THE solid three''-Robert Wilcox,
Kalauokalani and J. K. Kaulia have
adopted campaign tactics which they
believe, are sure to win them votes and
send them to the Legislature with col
ors flying. 1t is reported, on the au-
thority of a gentleman well posted as
to their movements and plans, that
they have promised all the Chinese
voters and residents who have claims
against the government for the sani-
tary fires which occurred during the
plague epidemic. that they will, If
elected to the Legislature. see that
these claims are paid in full.
On these promises the campaign fund
for the solid three is said to be ris-
ing steadily, and the Chinese are now
banking their hopes and money on the
Independents.

IN LONDON
At Christian Endeavor
| Convention.
HONOLULU HAS DELEGATES
Or. and Mrs. J. N. Whitney and Miss
Whitney There and Possibly
/ Theodore Richards.

Hawaii is we'll represented at the
at London. Three well known Homo
lulans, DR. and Mrs. j. M. Whitney
and Miss Ada r. Whitney are there to
represent the ISLANDS and it is possible
that Theodore Richards, president OF
the Hawaiian C. E. Union may be in
attendance as he hoped to be able to be
in London at the time the convention
met.
Thousands of delegates are at the
convention according to the reports
from London. Arrangements on a mag
nificent scale had been made for the
transportation of the American dele
gates. The steamer Saale of the North
German Lloyd line Lad been chartered
and 700 Christian Endeavorers were to
go in her. But a few days before the
date set for their departure the hand
some big vessel was burned at the
docks of the company at Hoboken,
many persons perishing in her, and as
result it seemed for a time as though
none of the American delegates who
| were IOCkluS W Tue East ~ Jill oil ONCl
| the Union would be able to secure pas
sage, for every departing ship has been
| loaded to her capacity all the present
summer. Secretary Baer of the or
| ganization finally after a whole day s
pleading succeeded in securing berth
! on one of me outgoing steamers. Four
teen trustees and speakers left on an
other steamer and after the hardest
| kind of hard work the Cunarder III
/ tonia was secured to take the place OF
| the burned Saale. 1t was claimed by
/ a representative of one of the steam
/ ship companies that million dollars
in gold would not secure a steamer but
the EndeavorerS succeeded and reach
ed London only a day or so late for the
convention.
Il President F. e. Clark was at the
opening meetings although there had
been grave doubts whether he would
reach London in time. Rev. F. E. Clark
has just finished a four months trip
in, Japan and China where he has ad-
dressed something like a hundred and
fifty meetings. He left Picking fol
London via the Siberian Railway two
! weeks before the attack on the lega-
tionS and when the first news of the
trouble there was cabled to America
the latest report from him was that hi

Editor OF The Times:

Sir,-A card signed Another Citizen
appears in your issue of the 21st instant,
taking as its text, "HazinS at the Y. NJ.
t. 1t is not my. purpose to excuse or con-
done, in the least. this practice, but, as
an old cadet and q patron of the school,
I protest against the unfairness and eN-
agSeratiCn of the statements made in the
various cards and newspaper articles that
have appeared. 1t is true that there mas
been hazing, and some of it cowardly and
brutal. 1t is also true that this hazing
has been done by a few cowardly, triiiins
cadets whose past record has not been
good at the school. 1t is also true that
the young men who constitute the corps
in manly and honorable way have put
the stamp of condemnation upon mid
night visits to the rats by masked old
cadets, and are determined that the good
name of the institution they love shall
not suffer from the conduct of such men
The Faculty, with Gen. Ship at its head,
are an honorable, high-toned set of men
as can be found in any school, and fully
determined to break up this dishonorable,
cowardly practice, but q man cannot act
until he has sufficient evidence, and from
the nature of things, this is often difficult
to obtain. l have recently visited the
Institute and know whereof l speak, and
I am sure that the manly sentiment Of
the corps will succeed in breaking up this
practice The slap at the Board OF Eisi-
tors is entirely unnecessary; the inSlnua-
tons of "other evils that exist is most
unfair to the Institute, implying a lack
of honor or high moral tone in the corps
I venture the assertion that for high-tone,
honorable bearing, and hatred OF all that
is low and mean, the corps OF cadets OF
the Virginia Military Institute will measure
fully up to the standard of any college.
anywhere I fully sympathize with the
indignation of parents whose boys have
had brutal treatment. but 1 beg that the
blame be placed on the culprits, and that
they believe it was not Intentionally al
lowed. OF course these men violated their
pedge-how many older men do the
same-and for the same reason. lack of a
delicate sense of honor. In conclusion. |
hope that abundant fairness may pre-
vail, and charges injurious TO the Insti-
tute. either directly or by insinuation, will
not be made until the facts are known
and full justice done to both sides.

American people to pay an ever increas-
ing tribute to the creditor nations Of the
world Under the gold standard the
United States has become creditor nation
and is making the nations OF the world
pay tribute to her. We have recently lent
money to Great Britain, TO Russia and to
Sweden. and we are prepared to lend more,
should the European nations call on US
for it, without in any way embarrassing
our own supply. We have been shipping
gold to England and Germany of our own
will. because we had plenty of gold to
spare During the first eight months OF
this year imports Of raw materials Tor
use in manufacturing amounted in round
numbers to ooo00.o90, against little over
s10o 900. 900 in the corresponding period OF
1895 while exports of manufactured goods
were 1904 600, 900, against ooo,ooo in 1885,
The exports during September broke the
record, and from month to month we are
continuing to pile up an immense trade
balance in our favor abroad.
In view of all these facts. in view OF
the evil predictions which Mr.. Bryan made
in 1886, and the refutation of every one OF
them, as we have shown, it is not sur
prising, after all, that he should decline
to discuss the silver question.
