When ! was a member Of congress,
when we were building and providing

victories Of the Spanish war, when we
had the same regular army establish

$50, o,ooo, 900. This amnunt was not
exceeded in any year prior to the Span

that We then had was ample ard suffi-
cient for the protection Of our country
and institutions is matter of history.
When the war with Spain broke out,
and the President made a call upon
the states for additional forces, that
call was responded to almost before it

"The appropriations for the YEAR
ending June 80, 1900, were made on a
basis OF a military force which has
been greatly exceeded by the exercise
OF the authority conferred under the
| act of March 2, 1899, and the raising.
equipping and transporting to the
Philippines of additional troops and
supplies. 1t will therefore be necessary
to ask congress for deficiency appro-
priation of about SOL ZOO, 600, bringing
the total amount Of the appropriation
| for the current year up to about the
amount of the estimates which have
been submitted for the fiscal year end
ing Jnne 80, l901.''
The appropriations for the year end
| ing June 80, 1899, embrace the cost of
the Spanish war and cannot be con-
sidered. But the last two years show
| the requirements for the mperialistic
peace establishments. From the totals
given should be deducted 49,, ,OOO, 600
! per annum on account of river and
harbor Improvements.
This leaves the annual expense of the
| present army esta blishment in round
numbers $50, ,000,0 Add to this the
annual cost of the naval establishment,
which is in round numbers S75. .OOO, 900,
and we have a total expenditure, for
army and navy and for the instrument
talities of war, of 1925 900. 600, and this
in times Of peace! These figures do not
include expenses that may be incurred
in the Chinese difficulty. These are the
appropriations for Imperialism on
peace footing.
This sum Of $225, ,ooo, 900 is SO i'm

can hardly grasp it. Let US express it

A WALKING BAR.
A Recent New York Device to Evade
Liquor Law.

NEW YORK. March 31.-East Side
tailors were sad yesterday when the
news spread that Pincus Bath, known
as the walking barroom," was under
arrest. Bath has earned fame as a
mixer OF drinks. He had mysterious
pockets in his clothes in which he car
ried liquors OF all kinds and ingredients
for mixed drinks. In summer he carried
lines in his hat. settler bottle in a
small basket and ice in a rubber bag
under his coat. and was able to mix
gin rickeys, cocktails or highballs al
short notice.
Bath went around the tailor snops
on the East Side and sold drinks from
his improvised saloon. His prices
were two and three cents a drink. Fri
day he swindled a customer by selling
a cocktail in which he put ginger ale
instead of whisky. and complaint was
made to the police.

NEW YORK. May 3f.-Negotiations are
under way for the requirement and con-

have been for a long time the agents for
the National and the Molenbauer refiner-

these properties by the new firm will do
much to end the sugar war, as Howell

the American Sugar Refining Company

A UNION
Churchmen to Affiliate
With America.
Hawaiian Congregationalists to Unite
With that Church in
America.

1t is quite probable that the HaUaiia n
congregational churches will this year
formally unite with the CONGREGATIONAL
Church of he'United States. The step
was practically decided upon at the
! final meeting of the Hawaiian Evan
gelical Association last Friday evening.
AT that meeting lengthy and inter-
esting report of the visit of the delega-
ton to the International Council in
Boston was read by Mr.. Timoteo. Mr..
| Desha made additional statements
which inspired much interest and drew
forth numerous questions.
On the introduction of the subject of
union with the Congregational churches
of the United States, blanks were pro-
duced and the method by which the
Year Book is made up from material
thus secured was explained. There was
much less inclination shown this year
to oppose such union. Messrs. Desha
and Timoteo made it clear that it was
along church lines and wholly without
political significance. The vote in ia
vor of union was practically unanimous
and 1T Is probable that in the year 1901
VIII appear in the Year Book of the
American Congregational churches. The
matter was put into the secretary's
hands.
On the further consideration of the
topic of monument for the missionary
fathers, the matter was referred to u
committee for consideration and fur
Their development. The following COM
mittee was appointed: Emerson, Desha
Timoteo, Egira, Davis, Lydgate, Kolino
There was considerable discussion as
to the advisability of appointing GER
tain men as evangelists to make tours
through the Islands in interest of re-
viving the work in the neglected fields
The unanimous feeling was that the
strongest men available should be sent,
such men as Desha, Timoteo and Egira
The only objection to such appoint
ments was the Importance of the work
in which these men were already en-
gagged. 1t was asked, could they be
spared from their fields. The matter
was left in the hands Of a committee
composed of Messrs. Emerson, Kolou-
IA, Kolino, Hanuna, Kekuewa who
are to advise with the Board.
Following in the lines of the American
pastorate, members of the delegation
TO the council at Boston suggested that
the Association recommend regular va
cations for the pastors, of two weeks
for each half year. This suggestion of
vacations was met by an astonishing
amount of indignant resistance on the
part of most of the pastors.
On consideration of the place and
time of the next meeting, considerable
desire was shown to have the time of
meeting changed to a later date, and
one nearer the time of the closing of the
kamehameha Schools. This matter
was referred to the following commit
tee: Messrs. Desha, Emerson, Timoteo
kalino. Koulili.
A cordial invitation was extended for
the Association to meet next year at
Hilo.
