GROWTH AND EFFECT OF RURAL MAIL
DELIVERY.

The development ard growth OF rural
delivery Of mails is ore of the most re-
markable features of our postal his
tory. Nearly onefourth of the eorre-
spondence of the postmaster general
now relates to this matter, and it ia
proved to be the strongest campaign ar-
gunent the Republicans can uss. be-
cause ii wasreje cited for three successive
years By the cleveland administration.
Congress appropriated sl,75o0oo for tfs;
ing the current fisaal Year and, as stated
by Correspondent ". T. Curtis ii is ull-5
fortunate that the amount was not four
times 40 large. becauss the funds avail
able do not permit the postmaster gen-s
ersl 10 comply With more than Il small
percentage Of the demands thai aie
daily coming TO the department. The
new ssrvice is 90 popular with the far

congress is beseeching the postmaster

Despite the fact that the democratic
officials under cleevlanG were reluctant
Ito take hold of it. congress renewed. the
appropriation in 1898 and 1894 and 1886
and in 1886 made the law mandatory SO
that during the last few weeks of his,
administration Postmaster General Vii
con established forty experimental
routesin different parts of the country,
but did not take enough interestsin them
to report the fact.
In March. 1897. when the Mckinley
administration came INTO power, Perry
Il. Heath who. knew a thing or two
about the needs of the farming popula-
ton. took the subject up Immediately
and pushed 1t so rapidly that there are

James A. Hopper Died
In San Francisco.
PARALYSIS THE CAUSE
The Widow is III But Convalescing--
Decedent Was "a
Kamaaina.

James A. Hopper, the veteran organ
izer of the planning mill industry in
Honolulu, died in San Francisco on
December II, two days before the de-
parture of the Sierra for this port.
The body was brought to Honolulu on
the steamer, the widow and her eldest
daughter accompanying the remains
on their last sad voyage. A stroke
Of paralysis on the day after Thanks
giving was the cause OF Mr.. Hopper's
death. From this stroke he did not
rally, but sank day by day until the
end came. His last day away from
the hotel where the family had been
stopping was on Thanksgiving.
The death of Mr.. Hopper removes
from the list of we'll known Honolu-
lans another kamaaina who was iden-
titled with the upbuilding OF the bust
ness interests of the Islands four dec
AIDES ago. He was resident of Homo
lulu for little more than forty years.
having arrived here in February, 1860
He was born in New York City in
1881. He sailed for Honolulu from
Boston with Mrs. Hopper, hts son w.
l.. Hopper and eldest daughter, reach
ing this port via Cape Horn. He was
lock and gunsmith by trade, and
worked originally in the factory of
Day & Newell, New York City. On
arrival here he branched out into 9TH
er lines and did great deal of bust
ness in supplying whaling ships with
whaling guns. He then built a plan
ing mill and laid the foundations of
the present large enterprise now SUI
perintended by his son, w. l.. Hopper.
He also went. into the manufacture
of sugar kegs, and organized a brass
foundry and machine shop, and later
established a mill for milling and
cleaning rice.
For the past four or five years he
has not been an active partner in his
business affairs. He has been making
annual trips to the Coast for his
health; usually going there in the
spring. or summer time. He left Homo
lulu on his last trip in April of this
year, but was not well during the
summer. ... 900.
No time has yet been set for the
funeral. The deceased was member
of Excelsior Lodge, 1. o. o. F.. AL
though not a member Of any church,
yet Mr.. Hopper was thoroughly
Christian man, and any charitable en-
terprise was always patroni2ed by
him. Mrs. Hopper was quite i'll be-
for the steamer left, but Is much bet
ter at present. '''

LEPER PRATT WAS
in THE PESTHOUSE
The San Francisco Health Board
Aided Him To Come
Here.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 9.-Speaking
on the case of George Pratt or. Peepe-
low, Health officer O'Brien said. "A
woman. whose name 1 do not know,
came to me and asked my permission
for leper named George Peblo, then
at the Pesthouse, to leave the city and
live at MOlokai. She said that She
would undertake to secure transporta-
ton and that the man was anxious to
go.
II told her that If the steamship COM
pany would give her the transportation
and if she would guarantee that the
man would leave the country, had no
objection.
"A few days later she returned and
said that she had made arrangements
with the steamship company, and that
everything was in readiness for his de-
parture. / sent some one from the
Pesthouse to see that the man was on
board. and when l had verified Peblos
departure the matter dropped as far as
| was concerned.
"Peblo had been at the Pesthouse for
about four years, and at the time he
left on the China his disease was in a
dormant state. In this condition the
danger of Infection is reduced to min
imum, and / doubt IL any one on the
steamer contracted the disease.
THE fact that he passed the medical
scrutiny OF the ships surgeon and of
the port officials at Honolulu proves
that the evidences of the disease must
have been very meager."

KRUEGER'S
HOPE GONE
The Gar Refuses To
See Him.
GAME GERMANY BLOCKED
Russia and France Might Have Inter-
vened to Aid Beers But
for Kaiser.

NEW YORK, Dec 10.-A cable -
the Herald from Vienna says: A.
cording to information from a wed
informed source, news has been e.
ceived in Vienna that when Kruger
received a telegram from the Gear in.
forming him that his majesty could
not accede to his request to intervene
he was very depressed, and is said
to have remarked to his encourage:
Now my last hope is gone"
LONDON, Dec. 11.-"Dr Leyds and
his friends are spreading a report,
says the Amsterdam correspondent OF
the Daily Mail, that Queen Wilhel-
nina will intervene after her mar
riage. This is meant to blind the pub
lie to the real facts, which are that she
went personally to every European
ruler on krueger's arrival in Europe,
and from two countries at least
France and Russia-received condi-
tional promises Of help in the direc-
ton of Intervention, but the plan fail
ed in Berlin"
BERLIN, Dec. 10.-In the Reich
Count Won Buelow, replying to 4 ques-
ton on the subject of Krueger's fail
ure to be received by Emperor Will
liam, said the Government did all in
its power to ward off war and left the
two republics in no doubt as to the
state of affairs in Europe and as to
the question of arbitration seemed not
oil I1I h. ant
recommended it to Kruger. He
thought the time had not yet come
When Kruger later sought interven-
ton his feelings were too highly in
fiated for the Dutch and German gov
ernments. For the German govern
ment it was lost time to give advice.
Germany was convinced that any step
of a great power at that moment would
lead to no result.
"There was no use for u.s." said the
chancellor, ito pinch our fingers be
tween the door and the hinge"
The chancellor added that when the
suggestion of mediation was made to
Great Britain by the United States in
quite generally worded inquiry, it
was rejected officially and categorical
ly. Intervention might have led to
war.
The chancellor described the reply
Of M. Delcasse, the French Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, to Kruger az:
France will in no case take the ini-
tiative, but would not oppose it when
certain eventualties become known.
provided that they are calculated to
serve French interests"
The chancellor thereupon remarked
that he could not have dealt with the
situation better himself. official hon
ors to Kruger in Germany, he pointed
out, would have displaced interna-
tional relations and served no purpose
of Kruger or of Germany. Germany
was not bound to Great Britain by
hairs breadth more than Great Britain
was bound to Germany. But to act the
Don Quixole against Great Britain
would be a piece of folly for which
he would not be responsible.
Although the Kruger matter will be
taken up again in the Reichstag,
Count Won Buelow's speech, evidently
prepared with great care, was so over
whelming in its array of powerful
facts that it amounted to a sweeping
victory over the entire opposition. So
far as German politics is concerned,
