OIL AS FUEL.

The development OF the petroleum
Industry is progressing rapidly in ia
pan. There are now thirty companies
engaged in the business with a capital
OF six million dollars. pipe line from
the petroleum fields to Toxic is con-
templated.
With the steady advance in the cost
OF coal, this development, together
with the growing oil product of South
ern California, may at an early date
be OF the utmost Importance to the
pumping plantations of Hawaii. The
fuel question is a vital one to Hawaii.
and a thorough investigation of oil as
a fuel should be made. There is no
question but that ii will work well;
but the doubtful point is that of
freight. Shipping in cases and iron
watts is too expensive, and the use of
tank steamers can be made profitable
only by consuming a large amount. II
several of our large pumping planta-
tons were TO join together and change
to oil burning furnaces, they could
keep a tank steamer fully occupied.
The indications are that coal will be
still higher after January LIST. The
possibilities Of oil fuel are well worthy
OF investigation by the Planters AS
ISOLATION.

The English Admiralty is giving a
test to armor plates in a most practical
way. They are plating an old man-of-
war with armor of different thick
nesses. This ship will then be anchor
ed and used as a target by battleship.
and the results obtained by guns of
different calibre observed. This ex-
pertinent would be as interesting to
watch as a head-on collision of loco
motives. a not infrequent county fair
diversion on the Mainland. two worn
out old engines being used for the pur-
pose.

RESULTS or THE ELECTION.

While final returns are not yet in,
there is no reason to believe that the
trend of the voting was any different
on Molokai than on the other Islands.
We have TO face the fact that wilcox
is probably the Delegate TO Congress-
and the known fact that majority OF
both houses of the Legislature is In
dependent. What next?
We do not believe that the country
is going TO the "demnition bow-woWs'
because "A non-entfty Will represent
Hawaii in Congress. 1t goes without
SAYING that wilcox will have no weight
i'm Congress Practically. Hawaii VIII
have no official representative in WASH
ington, and anything that is wanted
will have to be obtained through out
side sources. This need scare no one.
We have faced this situation before
and we can do 1t again. 1t would nave
been better to have man of brains
of social standing. and one who would
have the ear and sympathy Of the Ad-
ministratfon; but it is not necessary to
our existence. Progress will not be as
easy hot Tdplu Dut WIN Fl" HN'
effort we need not suffer greatly.
% As to the local Legislature, the lnde-
pendent majority in the Senate is very
small Several of the Independent
senators are of a conservative type
and there is little probability that radl-
cal or destructive legislation VIII be
cotIntenanced by the Senate. III sucn
Legislation should be attempted, the
Governors veto can be relied upon,
while the radicals cannot pass any
thing over the Governors veto, be-
cause they have not two-thirds ma
jority of the Senate which is necessary
in order to pass a bill over the Gov
ernor's veto.
While the election has not gone as we
had hoped. matters are not as bad as
they might be. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof. The Legislature does
not meet until February, and there is
no need of worrying over what it may
do until the time comes.
There is no longer the incentive to
radical action and bribery that existed
when the cabinet offices and the entire
government patronage were at stake !;
neither is there any possibility of
changing the constitution or legislating
for or against the Chinese: all three Of
which matters have in the past con-
vulsed successive legislatures. 1t is not
unlikely that the first session of an
American legislature i'm Hawaii will be
of rather a humdrum character. At
any rate there Is nothing now i'm sight
which need excite anyone, or cause the
timid to lie awake o. nights. IL Ha-
wall were still an independent Repub-
lie a spirit of uneasiness would be
justified. and a general overhauling of
private arsenals would be in order; but
under the protecting folds of the Stars
and Stripes. we can be assured of peace
under any party: and so long as a Re
publican administration remains in
power at Warrington we can be assured
of a degree OF prosperity such as is en-
joyed In few other portions of the
United States.

GENERAL BOOTH FOR AMERICA

GENERAL BOOTH FOR AMERICA
NEW YORK. Nov. General Will
liam Booth, commander-in-chi of the
Salvation Army, is coming here next
September to take practically the con-
troll of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States for at least six months. This
announcement was made last night by
Commander Booth-Tucker who arriv-
ed here from England on the steamer
Teutopic. He went there early in Oc-
tober to invite the General to come
over and assist in the solution of prob
lens which the Salvation Army is en-
deavoring to solve. One of the chief
problems, he said, was that of organic
ing and maintaining the farm colonies
which the Army is establishing in some
of the States.
THE Army, which has the power I'M
der its charter to issue bonds" the
commander said may issue bonds to
the amount of s15O,OO0 to put the colo
MES on firm basis. 1t has been said
that the poor in the cities don't want
to go into the country to live. They
do want to go into the country. l have
5000 more applications for homes in our
colonies than l can grant. General
Booth is great organizer. and will be
able to aid us in a satisfactory solu-
ton of the problem
When asked as to the rumor that he
was to be transferred to some other
command, Commander Booth-Tucker
said he knew nothing of If

LOFTY BALLOONING.

Two Frenchmen. NJ Balsan and NJ
GODDARD, recently made an ascent in a
balloon at Vincennes with view to
reaching the greatest altitude that
could possibly be obtained. They did
not succeed in lowering the record,
however. During their journey they
kept n record OF their impressions and
sensations at various heights. They
first began to- experience the nauseat-
ing effects of the rarefed air at 1920
feet. when their temples ached and
their vision was blurred. At 20. $50 feet
NJ. Balsan was rendered so i'll that ne
could neither speak nor reach his. bag
OF oxygen, and had to be attended by
his companion. Shortly afterward the
latter was somewhat paralyzed and
could only move with difficulty. But
with the application Of oxygen they
were restored. and they were but little
inconvenienced. At 2f.45O feet they de-
scribed the cold as being intense, and
that their boards were covered with
W. When 1900 feet was attained,
~" were rendered so helpless. and the
p"' was so great. that they could
~ gather sufficient strength to
the valve Of the balloon. When
reached the ground, they we're in
very exhausted condition. DIR. Ber-
son, In company with Mr.. Arthur spen-
Ger. assembled some months ago from
London to a height of 27.5OO feet. while
Messrs. Coxwell and Glaisher assembled
to the height of $4,000 feet. at which
altitude one of the travellers was rem.
dered unconscious, while the other only
just succeeded in opening the valve b,
pulling the rope with his teeth.

Advice

We advise celluloid truss because
it wears longer than the other kind and
Is more comfortable to wear than a
leather covered one. 1t may seem odd
that we advise you to buy long wear
ing truss, thinking we like to sell as
many as possible. We do. The only
trouble is that people have an uncom-
Portable habit Of blaming a Druggist
for the short comings Of leather COW
cred truss. Then they buy the next
truss somewhere else. If you buy a
celluloid truss of us it will give you
such good service that you'll come to

Hls Majesty Diapleased by the Kisses
Of the Critics.
Berlin, Feb. 2S.-The first presenta-
tion last night Of Der Eisenzahn"
("The Iron Tooth"), at the Royal
theater, was notable event, socially
and artistically. All the tickets had
been sold nine days ago and the house
was packed. On the left side sat the
court people, the officials and the mill
tary dignities. In the center court box
were the imperial aides de camps. the
minister Of the royal household, Herr
Won Wedel; the chief of the cabinet,
General Won Hahnke The side court
boxes were occupied by ladies of the
court. The scene was one of unusual
elegance.
Emperor William appeared during
the second act and sat almost unob-
served and quite alone in the royal
orchestra box screened by the drapery
from observation. Neither the en-
press nor the imperial princes attend
ed, quite contrary to the previous ar
rangement.
After the first act there was COM
plete silence. After the second and
third there was rather vigorous ap-
plause. but from the parquette, where
the critics and literary people sat, and
from the second and third galleries
there came piercing storm of Kisses.
The emperor. whose collaboration with
Captain Lauf in the play is we'll
known, was highly displeased.
The public verdict on the play is that
1t is verbose, although containing fine
dramatic passages, and too palpably
glorifies the Hohenzollern hero who
put down the Berlin rebellion In 144I.
