MAINLAND TRADE

Remarkable Showing Which

WASHINGTON. May 30.-"One rea-
son why | am an expansionist," said
Senator Lodge, while discussing the
possibilities of our trade with our ISL
and possessions, lis because / have
watched the great growth of our COM
merce with the Hawaiian Islands.
Five years ago. In 1895. the total Ha-
waiian trade with the United States
amounted to only sli, 500, 900. Last year
II reached sSS.5Oo,ooo. having increased
almost three-fold within Ave years.
and most OF this increase has occurred
within the past eighteen months or So
I'VE may not think that a business
of S3,500,0oo amounts to very much
when our foreign trade is now running
up into the billions. but compare our
trade with the Hawaiian Islands, with
their handful OF people. with some OF
the larger countries of the world. and

THE END IN sIoHT.

The collapse 81 the Boer defence Just
a. the British troops reached tn,
strongest position the enemy had. IL, &c
say the least. an unexpected clrcum-
stance. Freedom-loving men who had
done 30 well In the hills behind earth
works. who are destitute OF fear in bat
tie and who have the Dutch traits Of
stubbornness, might be supposed to
hold out indefinitely in great modern
fortress like Pretoria. when the war
began. the Boer capital was thought TO
Its forts. splendidly built and armed
were located where no army could APP
proach without long exposure in zone
of fire. Its commissariat was full. The
soldiers who were expected to garrison
II for n last stand were soon to become
veterans. There was the incentive to
hold out in the thought that England
might at any time get involved in war
with some great power Yet. despite
all this. the moment Roberts Army
came in sight of Pretoria, that strong
hold fell as the walls of Jericho did at
the blast OF the rams horn.
What was the reason? In default of
a better explanation we must assume
that the property-owning burghers of
the capital refused to risk their hold
ings In n bombardment and forced |
Kruger. himself n property-ownlng |
burgher. to abandon the defence. The
spirit of commercalism Is the strong
est enemy of war. AS wealth increases
the destructive appetite which inspires
all war decays; and since the Rand was
opened the wealth OF the Beers has
been mounting up enormously. There
are Boer millionaires now who believe
that freedom Is n prize to be parted
with before wealth and to these, per-
haps. the collapse Of Boer resistance to
the Queens power is measurably due.
The remnants of Botha's army nave

so short-sighted and so locally disloyal
as to want to raise up competitors for

| MakaWao, June 3, 1907.
Editor Advertiser:-A new kind of
| ailment is afflicting the horses of East
Maui, and one which I have never
heard. nor read of before. 1t assumes
the shape of an abscess. and Is found
on the rear side Of the animal, between
the stife and the hip bone.
/ have seen in this district and also
in the Kaupo district some eleven
cases, nine of which had the a,,scess in
identically the same place. OF the
other two cases, one occurred on the
front and near side of the brisket, the
other between the eye and the ear. also
on the near side. / have heard of a
great many cases In the Kula and Ka-
hikinui districts, and in every instance
they have been described to me as be-
ing situated the same as the majority
of the above mentioned cases.
Among the eleven cases, the abscess
Of one animal had burst naturally and
healed up In short time-about two
weeks. The others i lanced and all
recovered; in some cases l had to cut
as deep as an inch and half, before
reaching the matter of which there is
an enormous quantity.
Two horses in the Kaupo district
died that had this abscess, and In
neither case had the abscess burst, but
whether 1t was the cause of their death
or not L can't say.
l should be very glad il any of your
veterinary readers could enlignten us
as to the cause OF this maiady, also if
other parts of this Island. or other ISL
ands of the group are troubled with 1t.
The horses in every instance have
been grass fed and in good condition.
