Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1900-04-28

Kansas City, April 1S.-Carl Brown,
Of CoXey Army fame, was invited to adj
dress the morning session Of the mass
convention of Road Pop
ulists today and created CONSERVATION
among the adherents of Wharton Bark
or of Pennsylvania when he strongly
advocated Admiral Dewey as head OF
the Populist national ticket Barker, y
declared Brown, in his characteristic
manner is up against the iron wall OF
conditions and defeat for him is in
evitable. The head of the ticket should
be the popular idol Of the people, Ad-
mlral George Dewey with Wharton
Barker or Ignatius D0nnelly for vice
president"
There was show OF stopping the
speaker as he uttered these remarks
but Brown was permitted to continue,

QUESTION FOR ENGINEERS.

Editor Evening Bulletin AS a
friend of mine of an inventive turn of
mind is completing some drawings
for a patent the has now caveaD and
submitted the same to me for consider
alton have come to the conclusion to
leave the discussion and decision rath-
err to some more learned mechanical
and hydraulic engineers, readers OF
your highly esteemed paper, from
wnom | hope to learn Of an answer in
your scientific column.
In connection with his work Mr.. A.
has large shaft about 20 feet square
and 100 feet deep, filed with water
and intends to sink to the bottom Of
this shaft, an iron tank full of air,
about 10 feet high and 10 feet wide In
every direction, with an inlet on top
of 4-inch pipe, running stream Of
water into the tank and an outlet for
41a-inch pipe running down about
feet into the water of the shaft with
no other possible outlet, while the
whole tank rests on trestle work,
about feet hign. Now Mr.. -. believes
that the water coming in naturally
from the bottom through this 41a-inch
pipe into the tank could be kept down
to about 3 or feet in the tank con-
siderng the heavy water pressure from
above and the compressed air in the
tank. Wouldn't the water coming in
from above and below finally unite and
NIL the tank completely in spite Of wa
ter pressure and air pressure or rather
wouldn't the water lose its power Of
pressure?' If there were no inlet
through the top of the tank the water
could not come in through the bottom
pipe, he reasons-well, that Is true, as
anyone can experiment with common
bottle-and to equaliZe matters Mr.. A.
Theoretically covers that inlet, until
used under water, thinking that in that
way the compressed air contained in
the tank will keep the water out from
the bottom and at the same time the
pressure from above will keep the air
in the tank. | should be highly pleas
ed to hear anything contrary to my
opinion, thus assisting my friend.
Trusting that you kindly will give the
above space, I remain very respect
fully,

New York Democrats Prerare

New York, April 1.-THE Democra-
tic State Convention will meet at the
Hoffman House Friday for the purpose
of calling the Democratic convention to
name delegates to the national con-
vention, which will meet ut Kansas
City July 4th. The impression prevails
that the State convention will be held
in Albany some time during the latter
part Of next month or early in June.
There Is, however, some talk of the
convention being held either in this
city or Syracuse.
There seems to be no doubt that en-
United States Senators David b. Hill
and Edward Murphy will go to rhe
convention. 1t is said that If Richard
Croker returns from Europe in time he
will be selected and that the Kings
county representative will be any man
named by Hugh Mclaughlin.

Churchill Cries tor W.,

London, April 16.-Winston Church
i'll telegraphs to the Morning Post
from Bloemfontein, under Saturday
date, reiterating his opinion that the
war is bound to prove an expensive
business. He says: Two hundred
and fifty thousand men will be needed
before the end Is attained. The quGs-
ton of remounts will continue one of
vital importance. Great numbers are
now arriving, but, owing to the fact
that they have to be put to work before
time Is given them to recover from the
effects of the voyage, their condition is
low and the death rate among them
high.
thousands, therefore, will be want
ed in addition to those now here or
on the way and great resting depots
must be formed, together with an am
pie staff to nurse and exercise them.
If that Is done, then, about four or five
months hence, you will he able to give
your cavalry new lease of life and
strength"

Too bad IL the rats cant be eNtermi-

Mr.. Bryan complains that the Repub-
lican party puts the dollar before the
man" The man probably wants tho
dollar before him where he can get It,,
provided it be an honest dollar Of a
hundred cents.
General Miles from the Army, Ad.
miral Dewey from the Navy and Col
onel 81 yam from the Militia are out for
the Democratic presidential nominal
ton. The Militia has most votes. so
Bryan needn't worry on that score.
It's after the convention he'll have to
hustle.
Yes, 1t is a cruel war. Yet If Brit
tania desist or fail, more cruel wars
will result to the worlds end. A year
of these sacrifices of blood and treasure
would be cheap for the purchase of a

They are just claims, those from the
Chinatown flres-just claims and moth
ing more, until the treasury come un-

the claims as worthy of at least investi-

To abolish the cause of the quaran.

of Health had the treasury under its

laws interfering with the most drastic
measures Now If IL cannot complete
