THE CONVENTION

The decision to hold the Republican
territorial convention in Hilo is not one
to be made without very great consid-
GRAFTON. The business of the conven-
tion is serious The political situation
is an unknown quantity. There have
been no elections under present political
conditions to serve as guide posts or in
dications upon which predictions or
judgment may be based. The partisan
predictions Of a large portion of the
prospective voters of the territory are
not strong. Party allegiance and fealty
has not yet had time to ripen. What
the ultimate party alignment of the
voters of the territory will be depends
a great deal on what is done now.
There is no reason to suppose that the
party of the administration which made
us a territory, which commands the
support of a majority of the voters of

cANNoNADING THE CLOUDS.

An effort is being made in the Lyons
section of France, which is subject to
the ravages of hail, to dissipate hail
storms by firing cannon at the clouds.
Fffty-two cannon manned by 104 can
onneers and their chiefs, have been dis
tributed over an area of $500 acres of
rich vine land. For the expense of the
experiment, the Government appro-
priated 1000 francs, the departmental
council 1900 francs the National French
Agricultural Society and a number of
wealthy wine growers added 1900
francs and furnished fourteen more
cannon. The Minister of War supplied
powder for "a cents per pound.
A high point in the vine land to be
covered by the experiments was select
ed as the central post of observation
and a signal code adopted. When a
shot is heard from the central post all
the cannon are fired twice per minute;
more slowly after the first ten shots.
The wine growers are organizing to
attack the hail storms in many of the
great wine growing regions of France.
The two experiments thus far reported
are pronounced successful. 1t is said
that the practice of shooting at the
clouds was known in France over a
hundred years ago, and that 1t origi-
mated in Italy. 1t is to be more extern
sively carried on this year than ever
before.

That the local pride of Hilo would be

The news received today from Yoko-
hama confirms the belief expressed. at
the time, that the report that the case
of plague on the Coptic originated in
Honolulu, was unfounded. The proof
is practically conclusive that the
plague victim did not become a passen-
ger on the Coptic at this port. More
likely than not he boarded the steamer
at Yokohama. If he had boarded the
steamer here it is almost certain the
disease would have developed before
reaching Kobe. However we should
not take the fiattering JUNCTION to our
souls that we are immune from the
plague, and neglect precautions. Rats
are with us still and wherever they
are, the danger of bubonic plague

by the force of circumstances, the con-
