WAILUKU, Maui, March 20.-The
plague has ceased TO be the leading
topic of interest on Maui No alarm or
momentary panic can be created by any
false report whatever. Two Portuguese
by the name of Monis are seriously sick
at Kokomo with pneumonia; but al
though DR.. Wood has stated that it is
almost impossible TO distinguish be-
tween the symptoms of pneumonia and
those Of pneumonia plague. there's not
the slightest agitation manifested over
these two cases in the Makawao region.
Black plague has less terrOrs than for
merly. The nervous system of Maui
people has become apathetic and the
telephone lines work better than for
merry for no one cares to break the
electric connection now by listening for
plague news.

CANE BURNED
Over Five Hundred
Acres Destroyed.
Maui Ceases to Dread the Plague.
Literary Revival and Other
Island News.

SPRECKELSVILLE, March IA
disastrous cane fire swept over $50 acres
of our cane yesterday, despite the eff
forts Of at least one thousand fnen. In
the early morning a field of trash
had been burned, and had been care
fully watched by the manager and 9TH
ers till 1t was supposed all danger was
fully over. Several hours after, this the
adjacent field of standing cane was
seen to burst into flames; and, as the
wind had increased to half a gale, no
efforts TO stop it were of any avail, with
the exception of some fifty acres to the
extreme windward. Lanes were cut
and back firing resorted to, but the fire
had started on the east side, and the
strong northeast wind drove the fire
ahead with irresistible fury. 1t even
jumped the wide road from Kahului to
Kula and burned a field OF cane on the
opposite side.
The cause of the fire Is uncertain,
whether a spark from the burning
trash had been carried into the cane
field. and burst out after smoulding
for hours; or whether a stolen and
secret smoke" by some careless field
hand started the confagration, none
can say. OF course, evey effort will be
made to grind the burnt cane before it
is spoiled. The large mill will run
night and day and will be pushed to its
utmost capacity.
The Paia company will also render
great assistance by running a railroad
track from their mill into the burnt
fields and they also will grind Spreck-
elsville cane for all they are worth. 1t
is too soon yet to estimate the loss, for
much depends on weather and other
considerations, and no one can yet even
approximate the proportion that may
be saved.

THE COUNTRY.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 6.-It became evil dent at very early hour last evening that the election of Mckinley and Roosevelt was assured. At half past eight o'clock returns from nearly two thirds of the election districts of Greater New York had been received, indicating beyond any question that Bryan and Stevenson could not expect more than 25,000 or 30, 1000 plurality in this Democratic stronghold and un- less there was landslide in the out side counties beyond all reasonable ex- pectation the pivotal state of New York had declared in unmistakable terms, although by greatly reduced majority, for the Republican candi- dates.
 As the night progressed it only served to confirm this judgment and the returns from Illinois revealed a like condition. The Republican plur- ality of 1896 was greatly reduced, but it was still far too large to be over come. On the other hand, the returns from Indiana, Michigan, the two Da- kotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska, seemed to indicate strong Republican gains over 1896. Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia had given decided Republican pIuralities.
 The returns in several of the vest ern states was naturally so delayed as to give little indication of opinion there, but they had ceased to have determining effect and before 10 o'clock tue Democratic leaders had given up the contest and it was announced that Mr. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep. The whole story was easily and briefly told. The Re publican ticket would have a larger electoral vote than four years ago but ia the larger states of the east and middle west the pluralities of 1896 had been greatly reduced, Massachusetts had fallen from 174,O00 to S0,0O0; New York from 26S, ,0oO to 1S5,OO0, and l Illinois from 142,OOo to 100000 or less.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-The roll call oi states at midnight was as follows:
 For MeKinley-Connecticut 6, Della ware 8. Illinois 24, Indiana l5, Iowa l3 Maine 6, Maryland 8, Massachusetts l5 Michigan, l4, Minnesota 9, New Hamp shire 1, New Jersey 10, New York 36 l North Dakota 3, Ohio 9, Pennsylvania

Cure for Drunkenness.

Iu Sweden the governmental is waging strong and serious fight against drunkenness. Not content with pass ing severe police laws and carrying them out vigorously, it arrests every relapsed drunkard and locks him up in a house of correct ion, where he is thor oughly dosed with alcobol, it being mixed into every portion of his food and drink. until he is so utterly dis gusted with the taste of it that he cannot bear the smell of wine or whis- key for long time. It is claimed for this original and drastic cure that it is permanent in nine cases out of ten.-

M penner of silt.

The fear of the water storage dams illiug with silt seems to have D strong hold on many of the men engaged in Investigating the feasibility of storing the storm waters of this country. Donald Campbell, of Minneapolis, one of the foremost authorities on dams in this country, spent three years in In dia among the great government irri- gation works of that country, and as- certained to his satisfaction that very little is to be feared from that point. Mir. Campbell saw reservoirs there that had been receiving and discharg- ing water from the Ganges and the Nile for over three hundred years, and never a pound of silt had been taken from the reservoirs, and both of these rivers are noted for the enormous quantity of silt they carry. Our peo- pie need not fear that; let us get the reservoir and way will be found to care for the silt.

A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little
 Sons Life.

MT. H. H. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co.,, N. Y., says: "0ur little son, five years old, has always been subject to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and ased many medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucous and by giving frequent doses when the croupy symptoms appear we have found that the dreaded croup is cured before it gets settled" There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to babe as to an adult.

 Mark Smith carried Pinal county by 179 and the territory by 1275.
 The democratic ticket was success ful in Pinal county with the exception of A. F. Barker for County Treasurer who gets in by 5 to 10 majority

Things to Forget.
[From the NationaI Advoca.e. j

GFrom the National Advocated
 If you would increase your happi- ness and prolong your life, forget your neighbours faults. Forget the temptations. Forget the fault-fnding and give little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the pecu- liarities of your friends, and only re- member the good points which make you fond of them Forget all personal quarrels or histories you may have heard by accident and which if re- peated would seem a thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeableness of life; they will come, but they will grow larger when you remember them and the constant thought of acts of meanness, or worse still. malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yesterday; start out with clean sheet to-day and write upon it, for sweet memory's sake, only those things which are lovely and lovable.

One of the blessed privileges guaran- teed to every man under the form of this government is that he can express, either publicly or privately, his own opinion on public questions, and the man who refuses to do this ought to be deprived of his liberty, so says con temporary, and the theory is splendid and in keeping with our glorious insti- tutions of liberty, freedom of speech, etc., etc, but only let some men ex- press their. opinions too loudly, and let that expression of opinion reach the ears of men in position of brief au- thority and the bold speaker may take up his bed and walk.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION FaVORS THE
EMPLOYMENT OF CONVICTS ON HIGHWAYS

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Several important
recommendation were made by the
legislative committee at today's ses-
sion of the National Good Roads con-
vention. Following are the recon-
mendations:
/ That a highway commissioner be
appointed by each state to have gen
eraI charge of all roads
?. That the poll tax be abolished and
all taxes for road maintenance be paid
in cash This includes the repeal of
the statute labor laws.
8. That state road plan be adopted
in all states. including the employment
of convict labor in preparation of
material for roads.
President Moore speaking in support
of the last recommendation. said the
farmers of this country, though own
ing one-fifth of the property of the
country, have up to this time paid all
the expenses of roads for all the peo-
pie except in three or four states.
I'VE believe" said President Moore,
these expenses should be eqUalized
and the people in the cities should give
their Just share.
A committee was appointed by Presi-
dent Moore to draft a bill outlining the
suggestions of the legislative commit
tee This. after open debate by the
convention. will be completed and sent
to the thiTty-siX legislatures in the
United States which meet in January.
A special committee viii also be ap-
pointed which viii visit Washington
Immediately and confer with Secretary
Wilson in regard to the recommended
lions of the convention.
