PEACE COMMISSION
They do not Need to be
Confirmed by the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1G - Attorney
General Griggs has decided the members
of the International Arbitration Com
mission selected by the President under
the terms of the treaty agreed upon by
The Hague Peace Conference, are not
subject to confirmation by the Senate of
the United States. The President already
has selected former President Harrison
and former Senator George Gray of Del
aware as members of this Commission,
and they have accepted. Former Presi-
dent Cleveland was invited to become a
member but declined. Two other men,
bers are still to be selected
After the appointments We're made a
question arose as to whether the Presi-
dent would have to send the nominations
to the Senate for ratification, and Attor-
ney General Griggs was called upon for
an opinion. He has rendered one to the
effect that the members of the Commits
sion are not officers of the United States
within the meaning of the statute. They
are not required to take the oath of al
legiance to the United States. and are, in
fact, simply members of commission Sc
lected by the President of the United
States, whose services may be awaited of
by other countries in the settlement of
controversies to which the United States
is not a party. Their remuneration, in
case their services are required, Is to be
provided for by the countries for which
they act as arbitrator.

excavation near King street nearly
caused tragedy on that thoroughfare
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. NJ. c. Wild
dlneld and Mrs. Vida were driving
along the street i'm surrey. When OPP
posite the board fence surrounding the
excavation a terrific blast was set off.
The horse which Mrs. Widdifield was
driving was startled by the explosion
and rearing up suddenly, turned about,
overturning the carriage and throwing
the occupants forcibly into the street.
The horse kicked himself free from the
carriage and ran in the direction of
the capitol but it was caught short
distance from the fence. The carriage
was badly damaged. No flags of warn
ing were displayed when the blast was
set off. The practice of blasting on
this excavation has been conducted in
manner which shows criminal care

THE GOOD REPORT
OF OAHU'S MANAGER

There was not a quorum present at the
meeting OF the stockholders OF the oahu
Sugar Company on Saturday and the
Injecting was consequently deferred, but
mot until after copies of the printed re-
port of Manager Ahrens for the year end
ing September 10. 1900 had been handed
iaround to those present.
In permanent improvements during the
year that is past the sum Of s762. 726 has
been expended. 1t has been considered
advisable by the directors to apply and
distribute such expenses on future crops
by loan rather than use the total in
come OF one years crop for the purpose,
as the profits from the expenditure for
| improvements will not he appreciabe for
some time to come. Bonds in the amount
I OF s750,0o0 were issued by the directors,
bearing interest at the rate of per cent
per annum These bonds are due and pay
able ten years from the date of their Is
sue, the company reservng the privilege
OF redeeming them at any time after three
Years have expired. The company was
lput upon n ulvidend-paying basis by the
issuance of these bonds and the treasurer
now reports that besides the first divi-
dend OF per cent paid last May. the
company, beginning with September LIST.
has ordered a l per cent per month divi-
dend paid. The mill will commence to
grind again almost Immediately.
| The following extracts from the report
OF the manager will prove OF great inter-
est:
During the year ffty-two miles of wa
terways have been dug. capable OF carry
ling in freshet times l50OO.0OO gallons OF
water per day to the twenty three stor
age reservoirs, which hold GOO,0O0,OO0 GAL
Ions of water. During the last few weeks
these bitches and reservoirs have nearly
paid for themselves on account OF the
bountiful supply Of water they have Sc
ICured This agreeable saving has been
the experience of the plantation during
the last three weeks. Fifteen hundred
acres of the 19ol-l9O2 crop are already
planted The clearing is virtually finish
ed"
over 10000 tons of sugar can be expected
for the next crop. That crop which will

WHAT IS NEEDED

CINCINNATI, Nov. ia manufacturer
OF this city who has been in correspond
ence on the subject of tariffs in the Phil

Philippine Commission, has received a
letter from Judge Taft, dated Manila
September 81 in which he says Il was
very interested to hear your letter, and
am glad you took the trouble to send a
paper on the tariff, which we are about
to make up. We have just passed civil
service law which is on the whole, / think
the strictest law that has been passed
under American auspices.
II have no doubt we shall be able to
work out successfully the problem before
us If Mckinley Is elected l do not mean
o say there are not great many Difficult.
les with the policy of the Government to-
ward these islands to be settled, but dc
mean tosay there are none of them insu-
perable. We certainly need new banking
facilities here and we need better harbor
facilities. We shall appropriate 100000
Mexican) this week for the completion OF
the harbor, a work much of which was
done by the Spaniards, but which re-
mains useless without its completion.
When the harbor facilities are better
doubtless direct American lines will be
established to Manila. 1 feel confident
Manila will become one of the great
ports of the Orient. Only the surface of
the possible prospective and business of
these islands has been scratched.
when you speak of letting Cinnamon
into these islands you touch a question
that has great many dangers connect
ed with it and l could not now express an
opinion on the subject
II hope there is no doubt about McKin-
ley's election.

REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.
An Inquiry Being Made Among Brok.
era by Mr.. TXomhlx.

Several Of the real estate agents Of the
city have been asked recently whether they
would cooperate In the organization of a
real estate exchange in this city, similar to
those which are In successful operation in
Philadelphia, New York and other cities.
Mr.. H. H. Twombly has quite recently put
this inquiry to some of the brokers' and he
wants TO find out whether any considerable
number look with favor on such a project.
and, If they do, whether an organization of
the kind suited to the requirements of the
business here can be formed with ADVANTAGE
to the brokers.
II he receives sufficient announcement
Mr.. Twombly has expressed his Willingness
TO go to the cities where exchanges are in
existence ana ascertain exactly how they
are run and what benefit flows from such an
organization to the brokers. Several wears
ago real estate exchange was formed In
this city, but after a brief career it was al
lowed to die. There are some features about
such an organiZati ton which meet with an
prevail. and the question to be decided by
the casual canvass which Mr. Twombly in
the intervals Of his business will be able To
make is whether the brokers generally will

ENGLAND-s ROW WITH ASHANTI.
The Golden stool" That Figures in
the Present Uprising.
From the New York Sun

From the New YORK SuI
The British are now sending a few hun
dred troops from the coast to Camassi. the
Old capital of Ashanti. to punish the natives
there who have taken up arms against their
white rulers, killed and wounded a num-
Der of the British police ard prevented the
missionaries and other whites from leaving
the town. An official report received at the
coast says the uprising is due to the ef-
forts Of the British to obtain possession of
the golden stool Of Ashanti. AT the time
King Prempeh surrendered TO the British
expedition which defeated him four years
ago, ii was asserted that the king had bur
Jed the golden stool with thousands of dol
lars worth of other valuable property
hoping that some time he might be able to
regain these treasures and use them to his
own advantage.
The golden STOOL was the Ashanti substi-
tu;c for throne. and it was reputed 10 be
made for the most part of gold. Ii was a
large article of furniture and was perhaps
worth some thousands of dollars The
British have been searching for this vaIua BILE
relic. and in fact have. been digging holes
far and wide around Camassi in the hope
OF uucarthing other treasures
great deal Of gold was produced in
Ashanti for many years and most of 1t
found its way into the haI.ds OF the king
worked up into rudely fashioned iewelry or
adornments for the attire and furniture of
the wealthy class and a great many Of
these products of the native godsmths were
buried with every man OF Importance. The
natives say their fathers have believed for
hundreds of years that the burial of gold in
their graves assured them Of great bless
iEgs in the mex: world: and white men W ho
have visited the country say that gold 10
the value of 5000 or more is hidden N
many 4 grave. Perhaps these stories are
exaggerated. but at any rate, there has
beea. in the past three years. a good deal
OF this sort of gold mining near Camassi
IL is possible that the whites In their eff
forts TO bring the golden stool to light have
been getting quite near the object Of their
search and this fact may have melted ma
tiNes who are in the secret to begin this
quarrel with the foreigners. King Premnzh
Is now In exile in Sierra Leone far from,
his native land, and though he promised
when he begged the British TO make peace
with him, that he would reveal the hiding
places of his buried treasures he did moi
keep his word. He Is still permitted Ia
retain the rude but valuable jcwelry which
was in his possession when he surrendered
and he is quite gorgeous object when he
shows himself in state at Frcctown wearing
his yellow satin trousers and a weight al
gold ornaments that makes him appea,
