Question of Need of an Extra Ses-
sion Of Congress Regarded
as Premature.
CABINET DISCUSSED TIE HALTER.
No Conclusion Reached as to the Phil.
ippine Tariff Situation as Affected
by the Recent Decisions.
Action OF the Cuban Constitutional
Convention Was Not q "Substan-
tial" Compliance with the
Platt Amendment,

Washington, June 1.-The cabinet
was unable to reach any conclusions
as to the Philippine tariff situation
as affected by the recent insular de-
cisions of the supreme court. Attor-
ney General Knox will make u care
full examination of the language of
the decisions at once and ascertain
their exact bearing on the tariff be-
tween this country and the Philip
pines. He will then state to the pres
ident and his advisers the powers
now vested in the government in deal
ing with this subject. There was
little discussion of this matter owing
to the general lack of clear under
standing as to the real effect of the
decision. Mr.. Knox may report his
conclusions on the subject at the
next cabinet meeting, and probably
also Will discuss the results of his
examination of the opinions of the
court with the president individually.
Meanwhile discussion of the need of
an extra session is deferred, as con-
sideration of the question of an ex-
ira session was regarded as prcma turc
at this time. Members of the cabinet
individually refrained from even ex-
pressing their general opinions as to
the possibility of congress being con-
vened in extraordinary session.
The cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the
Cuban convention upon the Cuban
amendment amounted to a practical
modification of the Platt amendment
such as was beyond the power of this
government to accept. The message
of rejection sent to Gen Wood ad-
vises the Cubans in unqualified Ian
guage that there is 10 power resting
in the United States government to
change the terms of the Platt amend
ment, and that this government in
sists on the acceptance of the Platt
amendment, without amendment of
qualification. The Cuban convention
is still in session and the message
of rejection will be delivered TO it
Immediately. The administration is
confident that the Cubans will under
stand the exact attitude of this gov
ernment and make satisfactory ac-
,eptance within a reasonable length of
time
The only other important matter
brought up at the session was state
ment by Secretary Gage as to the
finances of the government The pres
ident and cabinet had been away
from the city for some weeks and
Secretary Gage took the opportunity
to point out that the surplus in the
treasury is steadily mounting upward,
and that national financial conditions
in general were very gratifying.

ANOTHER RAILWAY
FOR FAIR KONA
Plantation Owners Wish to
urn4sh Tier t,wu
Ilau>por;a ton.

The bill for a franchise to build
railroad connecting North and South
kona, which was introduced by Senator
Achi is the outcome of plans whicp have
been in process of perfection for some
tine by a number of capitalists, among
them J. M McChesney, w. a. Gren-
well, w. c. Achi and J. l.. Coerper, who
is generally supposed to be at the head
Of the scheme.
AS the promoters own nearly all the
land over which the right of way for the
proposed road is planned, there will
probably be little difficulty in securing
the franchise Mr.. Achi states that an
exclusive franchise is not sought, the
object being only to protect the owners
of plantations, who are the promoters.
No corpoI alton has yet been formed to
.5uild the new road, and no such step
will be taken until the franchise has
been secured. which mr.. Achi thinks
viii be as soon as Congress has had time
70 ratify the bill introduced in the Leg
isiature. The first strip of road to be
quilt will be about sixty miles in length
and will connect two large plantations.
Ii will be a three-foot gauge.

When Tasters Can't Taste.

Even the best judges of tobacco can
not always be depended on. Some
times their taste goes back on them,
so to speak, and remains b1unred for
a week at a stretch. Professional
samplers of tobacco take week off
every few months and never look a,
the weed until they return to duty. In
that way they keep in condition.
