last night between Edgemoreand Grand
Calumet Heights. Ind. 10 miles ont Of
Chicago One Of the mail ca-s which
o5ss;.:..:=:sd no money was dynamited and
wrecked.
The attempt at robbery was made af-
ter the two mail cars had been detached
from the train and run n qunrteg Of q
mile ahead. The failure Of the robbers
60 make a rich haul was dueto tho fact
that the express car. which contained
the trains treasure was in an unusual
place. Il was the third car in the train.
After wrecking the mail car and OBJ
tanning no booty the robbers disappear
ed without attempting 70 rectify their
mistake. The only loot they carried
away with them M result Of their
adventure was a gold watch Of the en-
gineer Most Of the trainmen were
shot at and had narrow escapes from
the bullets. No person was injured.

live and houses are Tar between.

RAKING POWDER

The profits on some of the well
known high-priced baking powders are
enormous and the many different and
misleading ways of advertising in
nearly all cases would ordinarily make
the consumer believe that unless he
pays a high price he receives an in
ferior baking powder Their principal
argument is against so called alum
baking powders.
In the X. c. Baking Powder put up
by the Jaques Mfg. Co. of Chicago,
there is three ner cent alum which is
entirely evaporated when cooked in
bread or cake, leaving nothing but the
phosphate property in the article con-
sumed, or in other words absolutely
pure when consumed.
In many of the ell-advertised, high
priced baking powders is contained
Rochelle salts, which is far more in
furious than a baking powder which
contains a three per cent ingredient of
alum.
The X C. Baking Powder has been
upheld by all state authorities and
while the baking powder trust has
several times tried to injure it's repu-
tation either through the boards of
health or courts they have invariably
failed to accomplish their end.

THE BILL STRIKES A SNAG IN
THE HOUSE.
The Proposed Award to the Ex-Queen
of $15O,OOO, in Treasury Bonds is De-
clared Illegal.

The bill to give ex-Queen Liliuokalani
$500 in treasury bonds met with a
snag in the House this morning. 1t
was reported as a substitute for an act
to allow her an annuity of $4,000 a year
and has a majority behind it in the
house, unless some knocks given this
morning by Robertson spoil its chances.
The bill came up on third reading to-
day, with every chance of passing, but
it was laid over till this afternoon.
Robertson declared it's provisions ille-
gal and the Home Rulers took the
alarm, and fearing that they might do
nothing at all by trying to do too much
they laid the matter over long enough
to look up the law.
The organic act was quoted by Rob-
ertson, prohibiting loans except for
certain purposes and he said the new
bill was a fake one and would result in
the queen getting nothing at all. I'VE
are all in favor of giving the eX-queen
a liberal annuity" said the Honolulu
representative, but this effort to give
her. $150,000 is Illegal and will accom-
plish nothing"
Dickey moved to lay the bill on the
table but there was no second.
Another bill is before the House, to
give the ex-queen $4,000 for the next
two fiscal years leaving her future
awards to future legislatures, but the
Home Rulers are not much impressed
with the scheme.

IMPORTANT OPINION ON CLAUSE
IN ORGANIC ACT.
Leased Land is not Affected-Opinion
by Attorney-General-Colonel Stone
Has a Proposition to Reclaim Land.

AttOTney-General Dole read an opin-
ion before the Executive meeting this
morning that is of vital Importance to
every plantation in the group in case
IT, sticks. The opinion was in regard
TO the clause of the Organic Act pro-
Viding that no person or corporation
can own more than 1000 acres of land
Mr.. Dole is of the opinion that this
provision has no reference to leases
and does not affect them. This leaves
the impression of being sound reason
ing.
Very few, if any, of the plantations
of the Islands own much more, If any,
than the Congressional limit of land.
Nearly all is held in the way of leases.
1t was at one time feared that the
clause of the Organic Act affected
these holdings and that embarrass-
ments would follow. Such now seems
not to be the case. Pioneer Mill Ha-
waiian Compercial. Waialua and other
large plantations have a principal pro-
portion of land that is leased in place
of being owned outright
Another very important matter before
the Executive this morning was the
proposition of Colonel Stone for filling
in the low lands of Kewalo, KakaakO
and the beach road. The gentleman
proposes to dredge the shoal district
Kakaako to a point near John Ena's
residence in Kalia and divert the de-
posits upon the low lands referred to.
The material, being made up of coral
and sand, will be of the very best for
filling. After consideration the meeting
expressed a unanimous opinion in favor
of the proposition. Little is known of
Colonel Stone, but if he is found to be
all right the deal will probably go
through. The Colonel purposes charg
ing the Bishop Estate and other land
owners a fee for filling.
Mr.. Lansing read the draft of the
charter of the Merchants Association.
Approved.
Collector Stackable presented through
Mr.. Lansing a number of bonds for
the protection of invoices that have
not been properly protected. There
are about fifteen of them. These are
matters belonging to the old Repub
lie of Hawaii. and on that account was
refert "a to the Territorial government,
1t was decided to notify the parties in
terested that the bonds are forfeited,
the terms not having been complied
with.
Wray Taylor, superintendent of agri-
culture, showed oranges recently re-
ceived by a Chinese firm from San
Francisco that had upon them very
dangerous blight He was advised to
notify shippers that all future ship
ments of fruit from the coast would
be carefully examined and that fruit
with blight upon it would be condemn
ed and destroyed.
Mr. Lansing presented maps of the
new Diamond Head road and of the
new railroad wharVes.
