The Largest Sugar Mill
On the Islands,
COVERS ACRE Of GROUND
Honolulu Plantation viii Be- Able to
Produce 200 Tons Of Sugar
per Day,

THE new mill which the Risdon Iron
Works is installing at the Homo
lulu plantation, oahu will be
ready to grind cane about Febru-
airy is, according to the statement Of
Z. Schneider. resident manager of the
Risdon company, to an Advertiser re-
porter yesterday. The mill has gone up
with astonishing rapidly, the first
work having been commenced on June
20 of last year The mill covers an
area of $4,000 square feet and is one
of the largest on the Islands.
There has been considerable improved
machinery put in. the Installing of
which caused somewhat of a delay. The
mill will have capacity of $50 to 200
tons of sugar every twenty-four hours
and the machinery has been SO arranged
that the plant can be doubled in the
same building area without displacing
any of the present structures. The
crushing capacity of the mill consists
of "a by rs nine-roller mill. with the
crusher driven direct from one man en-
CINE. The boiler house is equipped with
seven 250-horse power Heine trash
burning boilers fitted with Risdon Au-
tomato feeders, many of which are in
use in other plantation mills.
The boiling house has the latest and
best machinery known in the sugar
manufacturing fields. There are three
11-foot Kilby pans, Lily evaporators,
and a crystallizing plant which will be
sufficient to take off the crop of 200
tons per day. A novel feature in the
construction of the crystallizing plant
is the method of driving, clutches be
ing used for this purpose, which does
away with the numerous belts which
obstruct the passageways and are as
a general thing dangerous in an estab-
lishment containing so much machin-
cry. The plant has sixteen 42-inch wa
ter driven centrifugals. the power for
driving which is derived from two Ris
don high duty pumping engines, the
first of this type to be used in the Ha-
waian Islands The centrifugals are
also equipped with automatic convey
ors and machines for drying the sugar
before bagging.
Steel has been used in the construc-
ton of the building throughout. This,
as we'll as the machinery within. the
structures, was constructed entirely by
the Risdon Iron Works
In connection with the mill will be
installed large receiving warehouses fit
ted with conveyors for stacking and
conveying the sugar after being bag
sed. The company has also installed
three pumping plants, all of a capacity
Of nine, seven and twenty million gal
Ions Of water per day. This makes the
fifth pumping plant which the Risdon
people have installed on the plantation
property.

Music by telephone, whether vocal or in.
strumental. still leaves something to be
desired. The telephone timbre must be
got rid of before music can be transmitted
satisfactorily. The report of news, how
ever, is highly satisfactory.
SO far as a stranger can judge, who is
wholly ignorant of the language of the
country, says Mr.. Denison, the enterprise
is distinctly a success. The paper is SO
well known and has accomplished SO
much that it appears to be beyond the
stage of experiment so far as Budapest is
concerned. One strong point in its favor is
its e3rly reports. In this respect the paper
has a strong hold, for it is able to issue an
extra" at any hour of the day. More
over, invalids and busy people may get
as much news as they want with lit G
effort. Indeed, the plan has so many ad'
vantages, that we shall probably soon see
it in operation on this side of the ocean
with the improvements that Yankee in
genuity will be sure to devise.

There is no substitute for Mr. GreeIey's
great work. 1t is a matchless story of
mighty events which covered n period of
the Nations growth from the beginning
of the Government to the close of the re-
bellion. This work is so important a con-
tribution to our literature that no library
can lay claim to being complete without
it. 1t is scarcely possible to be thorough
ly acquainted with the up-growing of the
American Nation out of a collection of
struggling colonies until finally cemented
into one homogeneous union by the civil
war without reading this book. Our edi-
tion of this great work is exactly iden-
teal in matter, size of page and type and
illustrations with the original There has
been no abridgement or curtailment of a
single line anywhere, but in addition to
the original work we have added brief
sketch Of the life of Horace Greeley.
We have the sole right to publish an
edition of The American Conflict at a
price which brings it within the reach of
many who hesitated to buy set of books
the cost Of which varied, according to the
binding, from SO to $13.
All who are interested in political af-
fairs, or In the study of the great ques-
tions which for more than 90 years d.
vided the country practically In two, and
everyone interested as a participant in the

Andorra and San Marino.

The two states which look strangest
upon the map Of Europe are the tiny Re
publics of Andorra, in the eastern Pyre-
pees, and Of San Marino, in northeastern
Italy. Each owed its original independ-
ence to its strong natural positienl then
for centuries the shrewdness Of its inhab-
itants knew how to play off one enemy
against another. In modern times its
neighbors have seemed to feel a sort of
chivalric sentiment for it because il has
taken care of itself so long.
The Republic Of Andorra has existed
since the eighth century. When the Mos
lens invaded France with Spain in the
eighth century that little territory in the
mountains was not conquered by them,
and has remained independent ever since.
1t now enjoys the joint protection Of
France and of the Spanish Bishop of Ur-
gel. Its extent is less than 175 square
miles. Its hardly more than 5000 inhab-
itants are almost all miners and farmers.
1t is governed by a representative council
of "a persons, who are chosen by the
heads of families.

scribers, and full staff such as would
be usual in a newspaper of fair size in
such city. The enterprise was started
| about eight years ago by Mr.. Theodore
Buschgasch, and after his death continued
by Mr.. Emile Won Szveties.
For the purposes of telephone dissemiz
nation of news the city is divided into q
districts. To a distributing point in each
is run copper wire main circuit with
branch wires to the houses of subscribers.
Similarly q circuits are run from trans
mitters in the Opera House to the central
office. In all the newspaper service opes-
ates $50 kilometres (372 miles,, of wire
and $500 receivers in the various houses.
The actual tissue of the paper" is carried
out as follows:
In each subscribers premises is at
tached to the wall complete program
telling just what may be expected at any
hour each day, except Sundays and holi-
days, between 1870 a. IN. and 1870 D..
m, unless concert or some other night
event is being reported. Stock exchange
reports reach subscribers several hours
ahead of the evening papers. Reports of
the legislative body and political news oc-
cupy the time from 11:45 to II o'clock.
General news, of course, comes in all day
at intervals. At / 80 and 6 p. IN. a brief
resume is sent out for the benefit of those
who missed the first news. From , TO 6
p. N. there are concerts, varied with liter
ary criticism, sporting events, and so on.
Special items for Sunday include news
from II to II 80, a concert from 4:30 to
p M, while children's concert is given
every Thursday evening at o'clock.
The Telefon- -Hirmondo is independent
in sense not known in America; it has
no leading articles. no editorials, no o1in-
ions-unless its short notices of literature
and art can come under the last head.
The editor alone is responsible in case of
action against the paper for libel. He
has already had two or three lawsuits, but
has won all of them.
The mechanical processes of the raDer
are about as follows: The news Ctelegra-
phic, exchange, specials, and locals, is Sc
cured by the ordinary methods known in
all newspaper offices. The reporter who
has finished his assignment writes out his
matter in ink and submits it to his chief,
who signs it on the margin of the printed
The National tribune., 1901-05-09

, the whole number of sheets, with hour
| dates constitute the days file.
i The stentors are six in number in Win
ter, when the paper is likely to be crowded
| with important matter, four for duty and
two alternates. In Summer four suffice.
The stentors have strong, clear voices and
distinct articulation, and the news comes
from the receivers with remarkable
strength and clearness. When all six
Stentors are present, they take turns OF
| 10 minutes each: if for any reason only
! two are ON duty, a half hour is the ex-
! treme required of one reader.
The only ladies employed on the staff
are those who sing in the concerts.
1t is stated that the current expenses
range up to about s., 200 a year, iDclud-
ing interest on the plant, while the fixed
charges are about $3.50 a month, vary
ing in different seasons. The subsC ripti0n
price is Is forins, or S1.56 a year. or
course advertising receipts are strictly
limited, though advertisements are in
cluded in the service, the charge being 42
cents for each II seconds.
The subscribers to the service include
most of the prominent people in Buda-
pest, appealing as it does to the more in
tellectual classes Of that exceedingly wide
awake and busy city.
The ''aggrieved subscriber" sometimes
wishes to stop his paper, but he cannot do
this as easily as Il subscriber to printed
journal. In the first place, he has had a
receiver put into his house at the com
pany's expense and he has been Obliged
to give security for a years subscription,
one-third of which he pays when the in
strument is ready for use. He pays the
balance in two equal payments, at the end
of four months and eight, respectively.
If the grievance is real, the editor tries
to remove it by means of the soft answer
that turns away wrath from the editorial
head; if imaginary or absurd, the paper
keeps the time -honored waste basket for
its reception. The editors and managers
receive the usual courtesies extended to
the press in the way of passes and free
tickets, and the paper exchanges with the
city press. Unknown persons, such as
temporary dodgers or boarders in hotels,
cannot of course. become subscribers, but
the principal hotels do subscribe, and their
guests are free to use the instrument.

pen, II the compact be made with Rus
sia. The speaker cited the example OF
the cession of Kiaochao, which was soor
followed by that of Port Arthur, Weihai
wei and Talienwan.
The next two speakers discussed the
same subject, and all three speeches were
well received. But the last speaker was
| especially eloquent and brought up some
keen points. The first point was the cum
ming diplomacy of the Russians. They
| make out that they are in sympathy with
the Conservatives of the country, and thus
curry favor with the Government. The
Conservatives are aware of their unpop.
ularity, and need some strong outsider TO
back their prestige, and this the Russians
promise to do The latter know that the
conservative policy is the slow-killing pol
icy for China, and by encouraging this
national suicide they are able to prosecute
their designs on the rich country. While
other nations are demanding impossible
things of the Chinese Government, and
when America, even, only stood aloof, the
Russians posed themselves as friends by
withdrawing their troops from Peking
and otherwise breaking the concert of the
Powers. What does the Chinese Govern
ment think? A friend in need is a friend
indeed. Thus the Bear tightens his en-
brace on the Celestial Empire by a crafty
policy of being mild and strict at the crit
lcil llInp- WlllnlDp everlasting STdtlIuue Oh
the blinded Government.
The second point was that no nation
would care to assist the Chinese in their
troubles. unless we assist ourselves first.
By making a stand we not only V save our
country from partition. but vii! also ele-
yate the opinion of Westerners of the Chi
rese spirit. Besides, the help of outsiders
is at best expensive. 1t is generally mat
ter of mo pay. no work" After the JAN

tested against the taking of Port Arthur
and Talienwan by Japan, and subsequent
ly took them herself. Such is the lesson
of getting external aid in political mat
terS.
The telegram to the Empress -DOwager
and Emperor runs as follows: IF the
Convention be ratified with Russia, the
other nations will make it precedent for
similar concessions. The British are pre-
pared to take the Yangtse Valley, and if
the United States, japan, Germany, etc,
were to follow, China would be wiped out.
We beg your Majesties to command the
not to sign the COnven-
ton. to save the plight of the country"
The second one was to Prince Ching
and Ii Hung Chang and urged them not
to sign the Convention. ''The nation is
indignant. and we beg you to stand to
your rights"
The Viceroys were asked to make a
joint protest to the Court against this
practical partition of China, which will
be followed by demands on their jurisdic-
tions.
Whether the resolutions will have any
effect or not cannot be predicted, but it
may safely be said that the Convention
as it stands will never be ratified. The
demanded are too vital and
Overreaching to obtain acquiescence from
the Chinese Government, weak and rotten
