PAAUHAU SUGAR.
Annual Meeting of the Company al
San Francisco.

Annual Meeting of the Company al
San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-Unusu-
al interest attended the annual meet
ing Of the Paauhau Sugar Company
yesterday owing to the recent decline
in sugar securities and the fact that
the yield Of the plantation for the
year ended on September 30th fell be-
low the estimates made at the begin
ming Of the season. The meeting was
presided over by President William G..
Irwin, and the attendance of share
holders was large and representative.
From the reports it appeared that the
crop was only 1929 tons, il being ex-
planned by the president that this
shortage was largely due to lack of
rains.
Included in this report was that Of
Manager Moore. which estimated that
the coming crop would be 5000 tons.
This estimate President Irwin consid-
cred conservative. He added: CAS- the
growing cane is at present looking un-
usually well, large yield may be
looked for. The mill was started
grinding I'm November on cane that did
not mature until after the close Of the
sugar year, and will take off about 125
acres. 1t is TO start in on the regular
crop about January LIST"
In reference to the holdover crop a
letter from the manager was read in
which he said: I'VE have made about
$50 tons of sugar, starting on this
crop
In reply to inquiries as to the short
age President Irwin said that hereto
fore 10000 tons of sugar had been OBJ
tanned from 400 less acres than had
been cultivated last season, and that
the product of the next year would
probably be nearer 10000 than the low
estimate of 5000 tons made by the
manager of the plantation.
A statement regarding the decline in
the cOmpany's stock brought from
President Irwin the assertion that in
May last he had declined an offer of
$40 a share for his block of 10000
shares, and that he held it intact,
showing his confidence in the COM
pany. An inquiry as to whether or
not dividends of s35 900 a month could
continue to be paid was answered by
the reading of the following estimates
based on an S,O00-ton crop:

THE MYSTIC SHRINE.


Washington, May 24,-The imperial
council of the Mystic Shrine COM
pleted its twenty-sixth annual ses-
sion here yesterday after transacting
considerable business of interest to
the order. Kansas City was chosen
as the oasis where the tribes shall
gather next year and June II and IL
were fixed as the dates. Following
long-established custom each of the
officers for the preceding year was
moved forward to the position imme-
diately ahead of the one occupied, the
only new one chosen being the inn
perial outer guard. This distinction
was unanimously given to Noble
Henry A. Collins, potentate of Rame-
sis temple, of Toronto, Can.
The long controversy over the
question of admitting Sea-Ga-Sig tenn
pie, of Des Moines, Ia, to full aflilia-
ton with the other temples in the
order was settled aflirmatively and
the new temple will come in with
800 mobiles. George w. Mccartney and
Charles II. Austin, both of Des Moines,
will be the first potentate and re-
corder respectively.
The Arab patrols gave an exhibi-
ton on the white house ellipse. At
night President and Mrs. Mckinley
gave a special reception at the white
house in honor of the visiting
Shriners. II lasted from $3.50 to 10:30
and was largely attended. The house
was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion. The Marine band furnished
the music. The president and Mrs.
Mckinley were assisted in receiving
by the ladies' Of the cabinet.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
No Limit on the Time Pastor May Serve
His COngregtaiOn-The Sisterho0d
of Deaconesses

Chicago, May 24.-With the election
of bishops and the important ques-
ton of admitting women to the gen.
eral conference disposed of, the Meth
odist general conference yesterday re-
sumed the discussion of the pastorate
time limit. 1t was finally decided that
preachers will be appointed annually
by the bishops, with no limit on the
number of years a pastor may serve
one congregation, except the limit
imposed by his own ability and pop
ularity with his congregation.
The committee on episcopacy con-
sidered two important measures at
night, but took action on neither of
them. First was protest signed by
the presidents of all the Methodist
educational institutions of the coun-
try and aimed at Bishop Hurst and
his American university, demanding
that steps be taken to check the gen
eral superintendent of the church in
their tendency to use the episcopal
Office as club to force subscriptions
for the benefit of colleges in which
they are interested. The other mat
ter of Importance was the report OF
the subcommittee fixing the episcopal
residences for the coming qladren-
mum. Much dissatisfaction developed
at the report and after some discus
sion further consideration was de-
ferred until to-day.
4 scheme to have the board of bish-
ops direct the affairs of the Metho-
dist Sisterhood of Deaconesses was re-
ported last night to the committee
having that bureaus affairs in charge,
as a measure calculated to pacify the
earring elements in the struggle be-
tween those affiliated with the homes
under the Woman's Home Missionary
society ard those connected with the
independent order, of which the Chi
eago home is the most important
station. The committee is said to be
practically unanimous for adoption.
