The snow upon the hillside lay,
And matched the cottage roof.
The web of vines by the Pilgrims door
Was filed with icy woof.
The boughs were leafiess on the trees
Across the barren plain
The north wind swept despairingly
And moaned like one in pain.
Ut whimpered like some hungry child
That clasps its parents hand
And pleads for bread when there Is none

Above the little Plymouth town.
Circling with empty maw
MockinE their hunger, flew the crow.
Shrieking his ''haw. haw, haw

From hunger feeble trembling knelt
And raised her voice to Him:

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Thcre is to
be a battle of brains backed by mil
lions in the lobbies of Washington this
winter The gla6iators are preparing
their arguments and mapping out lines
of policy. Conferences are held daily
within the different camps.
The question mt issue Is whether raw
sugar grown in Cuba shall be admitted
to the United States free of duty, or
Mt reduced rate of duty, under n
treaty of reciprocity. The interests
involved are vast in capital and in the
possible effect of congressional action
upon the happiness and prosperity of
thousands of people. a delegation from
Hawaii has already visited Washing
ton and another from Cuba is en- route
here.
The capital involved in the United
States is $9O.OOOO,OO0 of the American
Sugar Rctining Company, of which
S15.OOO.00O is new stock issued this
year for the avowed purpose of enlarg-
ing the Cuban sugar growing, as well
rs the refining enterprises of that cor
poration; the S19,OOO.OOO of the Beet
Sugar Company. millions of other beet
companies, and Il sum so vast, invest
ed in real estate and mortgages in
Cuba. that no accurate estimate of the
amount can be made. There is also
the interest of the cane sugar indus
try in Louisiana.
The beet sugar industry will claim
that it should be granted protection

COMING SUGAR TARIFF FIGHT
WILL ENLIST VAST INTERESTS

against Cuban competition. The Louis.
lana cane growers will advance the
same claim. Henry Il. OXnard, leader
of the beet sugar industry and also in
terested in Louisiana cane. Will lead
the intellectual side of the battle for
the development of domestic sugar.
Said Mr.. ONnard:
II estimate that we will produce
100000 tons of beet sugar in the Unit
ed States this year. In ten years l am
certain that the beet product of the
United States, if it continues to re-
ceive protection. will reach 100000
tons n year, which it nearly equal to
our present annual consumption.
Mr.. Havemeyer has declared in IA
vOr of letting in raw sugar from
Cuba free. At the same time he would
increase the duty on refined to one
half cent per pound, in order to protect
still further the product of his refin-
cries. Mr. Havcmeyer's ultimate OBJ
ject is the annexation of Cuba. He
has Il duty now on refined sugar OF
three tenths of Il cent pound, equlya-
lent to the cost of refining.
IAN annex Cuba would mean Ameri-
can prices in that island for labor and
supplies. But TO continue to treat
Cuba as foreign territory and at the
same time 10 admit its raw sugar free,
would be blow to production of beet
sugar ut home. We shall fight hard
against that proposition In Washing
ton"

Smith, Clerk Nice and the bailiffs.
Neither IL. IL. Tammcn nor Il. G. Bon
fills was present. Anderson did not be-
tray any nervousness, although he was
plainly relieved after hearing the YER
dict read.
After the jury had been polled and
dismissed Anderson, after first Shak-
ing hands with Mr.. Taylor, his coun-
sci, shook hands with each member of
the jury and then left the court room,
accompanied by his counsel. In dis
missing the jury, Judge Johnson said
few words of thanks for the atten-
tion they had given the case.
The Anderson case grew out of the
efforts made by Mr.. Tammen and Mr..
Bonfils to secure the release of Alfred
Packer from the penitentiary. Ander-
son conceived n plan by which he
thought he could secure Packers free
dom and partly developed it. He was
dismissed by Messrs. Tammen and
BonfilS, who alleged that he violated
an agreement. He went to the offices
of the Post, on January 10, 1900. to
discuss the case with the two men, and
before he left dispute occurred, in
which Anderson said that he was at

NEWS AND GOSSIP
FROM LAHAINA
Strong Resolutions in Favor
of the Old Townf0r
County Seat.

LAHAINA. April 2e.-The sugar plan
tation in the Olowalu district. although
comparatively small, is in prosperous
condition, the only drawback being a
lack of laborers For this reason only
about 300 acres of cane are under cult
walton at the present time; and the num-
Der of hands employed is about 1S0. In
Guiding twenty-five or thirty Porto RI
cans. AS this lass OF laborers have
their former home, they cannot easily be
transformed into serviceable and valu-
able field hands; but longer training will
doubtless render them more efficient.
The manager of the plantation is Emil
Krause. and the sugar boiler is I. J.
Hanneberg. An uncle of Mr.. Hanneberg
was formerly the manager, and after
amassing a considerable fortune, he re-
turned to Germany The Oluwalu mill
is in excellent condition, extensive re-
made last year by Manager Krause. 1t
is expected tuat Mr.. Irwin, who has
charge of the company's interests in Ho-
nolulu, will soon visit the plantation.
In Lahaina and vicinity the manufac-
ture Of poi has not been given up en-
tirely to the Chinese; but the best quail
ty of this favorite food is frequently
made by Hawaiians for their own use.
1t is expected that the Lahaina band
will be reorganized shortly. There is a

ELKS MAY
BUILD HOME
Herd is Looking
for Browsing
Ground.
ACTION TAKEN ON
SATURDAY MIGHT
Lodge Will Incorporate for $40,.
600 and Erect a Three
Story Building.

The Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks of Honolulu are to have a home
of their own in the near future. At
the meeting of that order held Satur-
day night the project was thoroughly
discussed resulting in the appointment
of a committee of three to look up a
suitable site for a building in the bust
ness district. The lodge. as a body,
favors the scheme.
The plan has been in contemplation
for the past week by certain of the
members to have the ElkS incorporate
with the object in view Of erecting a
fine three-story structure, the lower
story to be set apart for business pur-
poses, the second floor devoted entire
lily to club quarters for the Elks. and
the third story as lodge and ante-rooms.
The lodge rooms will be fitted UP in a
style in keeping with the progressive
spirit of the order. while the club rooms
will be made as attractive and as
homelike as possible. There will be
the usual reception hall, Office, card and
billiard rooms, library and general as
sembly hall.
1t is proposed to incorporate for $4o,-
900. The treasury Of the Elks has quite
sum of money at hand, something
in the neighborhood of $4,000, and the
Hodge is therefore beginning its career
under favorable circumstances. 1t is
understood that all the members of the
order are heartily in accord with the
proposition and little difficulty is antic-
ipated in raising a building fund. A
Location was thought to have been Sc
cured during the week, but the offer
was withdrawn and the committee will
begin its search anew. The building will
be a fine addition to the city's business
blocks, and 1t is understood that archi-
tecturally it would meet the approval
of any city Improvement society.

No. al Hotel Street.

F. Hayselden, Matt Mccain, DR.. David
son, Peter Noa and others. On motion
of F. Hayselden, a committee of three
was appointed to draft resolutions. The
committee resolved substantially as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That this meeting deems it
only fair that Lahaina should be the
county seat. because Of its unrivalled adj
vantages as a harbor, as many as $50
whale ships having formerly anchored
here; because wharf, which would &C
commodate large vessels, could be built
at moderate expense; because of ITS
nearness to the capital, its direct Conf
munication with Honolulu by wireless
telegraphy. its constant increase IN pop
ulation, its fishing facilities. its large
two story Governn ent building in the
midst of park, and its weli-built pris-
on; because it mas the only seminary n
the Islands; because the first laws in the
Islands were promulgated here; because
a railroad will soon connect Lahalna
with the other large towns on Maui, al
fording rapid and easy transit; because
Lahaina will probably become the great
health resort of the Territory; because
Lahaina, as the county seat, would large
ly increase the value of property in
this district.
The committee which drafted these
resolutions consisted of f. Hayselden,
NJ. Mccain and w. haulukin1.
The resolutions were adopted; voted
that two copies be engrossed, and other
copies printed, and sent to members OF
the Legislature. Delegates and a finance
committee were appointed.
LAHAINA, April 26.-The delegates
appointed to carry the resolutions to
Honolulu were ready to start when a
message was received by wireless teleg-
raphy this evening saying that the
County bill had passed with Lahaina as
the county seat Of the county comprising
the Islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai AMI
Kahoolawe.
This good news obviated the necessity
of the delegates going; but copies of the
resolutions will beforwarded by Kinau
tonight to His Excellency, the Governor
of the Territory, to members of his
Councils and to all members of both
branches of the Legislature. Lanaina S
jubilant over the news. Yours truly,
