In the Hawaiian legislature the ma
tive or reaetionary element, which
calls itself the Home Rule party" Is
in control. Its leaders were opposed TO
annexation, and some o, them have
not abandoned the hope OF the recall
Of the ex-queen. Not all the members
speak English. and few of them are
familiar with American institutions
They make unreasonable demands
upon Governor Dole. and consume
much time in personal chickering's.
Many radical measures have been in
troduced, but the only bill enacted
during the first half OF the session was
one appropriating money for the ex-
pense of the legislature. Altogether, 1T
is a disappointing beginning; but iegis-
Iative vagaries will be held in check by
the executive, and gradually expert
ence and growth of intelligence Will
bring improvement.

The following libel for divorce have

Walsh married his child wife i'm Octos

priest performing the ceremony. The
girl was then and is now not yet four
teen years of age and certain reserva-
tons were agreed upon between the pa

agreements, ii is claimed have been en-
urely ignored by Walsh who has treat

THE Hawks TO BLAME
EBEN Low CHARGES THEM WITH
KILLING BIRDS.
Rare Hawaiian birds Exterminated by
Hawks-In Defense of Finches-The
Woodpeckers Again. Il

Eben Low of Kohala, Hawaii, who
has lately imported the grosbeaks to
assist in the determination of the in
scots that work against agricultural
interests on his ranch, is convinced
that the hawks in Hawaii are greatly
to be blamed in connection with the
determination of the 100" and other
rare Hawaiian birds, as well as being
a great barrier to the Introduction of
new species
With regard to the opinion of Pro-
fessor Koebele that the grosbeaks eat
| more seeds than they do insects, Mr..
Low jocularly remarks that both Pro-
fessor KOebele and r. c. l.. Perkins
are afraid of the finches eating up all
the specimens of bugs and insects be-
fore they have completed their collec-
lions.
An extensive work has lately been
| issued from Washington headquarters
! giving the analyses of the contents of
| the stomachs of many hundred varities
! of birds.
Mr.. Low contends that reference to
this work will show that the crops and
stomachs of the finch family, to which
the grOsbeaks belong, will produce po-
sitiVe evidence that if they do eat seeds,
| they at the same time eat equally as
much in the line of insect life. Wray
! Taylor has seen the work and states
that the extracts bear him out in
thinking that the wOodpecker, around
which so much controversy has ragged,
Will prove great ally to Hawaiian for
estry.
Eben Low has already had orders
| placed over a year ago in Nevada for
woodpeckers and all efforts are being
made by the state ornithologist to pro-
cure them for him, a small army of
young boys having been detailed to pro-
cure them. Mr.. Low confidently eX-
poets them in the spring and says that
he viii have them eating insects in
kona while inquiries and arguments as
TO their usefulness still go on in Homo
lulu.

kins are head over heels in "bugOlogy'

SEEN OFF ELEELE YESTERDAY
MORNING.
Her Identity Was Not Learned But
She Had Four Masts And Had Been
There Since Monday.

There is a probability that one of
the overdue fleet from Newcastle has
safely made port. She is either the
schooner Churchill or the schooner
Robert Searles. Both are due at Ele-
ele and from what the Mikahala report
ed this morning, one of those vessels
was standing off the Kauai port yes
terday morning. Captain Gregory of
the Mikahala was not able to determine
the Identity of the vessel, other than
that she was a four masted craft.
The schooner was seen Monday morn
ing standing some miles to the south
ward of Eleele and again on Tuesday
morning the schooner appeared to be
II nthe same position. lnasmuch as the
Churchill now out IS days and the Rob
ert Searles 80 days from Newcastle, are
both due at Eleele. there is a possibility
that both of these vessels might have
been seen. Captain Gregory is inclined
to think however, that it was the same
vessel he saw on both mornings.
There is little doubt but the vessel
reported is either the Churchill or the
Searles. They are the only boats
which are due at uleele or any port in
that vicinity now.
The reason that the schooner was
standing off Eleele was on account of
the rough weather, as her captain evil
IDENTIFY did not consider it safe to VEN
ture near Eleele, during the heavy
southerly weather.
1t was reported when the Noeau ar
rived yesterday afternoon that a four
masted schooner bound this way, had
been sighted yesterday off Kahoolawe.
This was supposed to be one of the
overdue Newcastle fleet.
Captain Wyman of the Noeau said
that this report was incorrect however
as the vessel was lumber ladened and
was standing to the southwestward, so
she could hardly have been any of the
vessels now due.

CUTTING CANE ON FoRDs ISLAND
Yachtsmen Warned Against Passing
Behind Lighters Stern.

The cane is now commencing to be cut
on Ford's Island, Pearl Harbor lochs,
being carried over to the mainland on a
large lighter running between the slips
erected some time ago. An endless wire
cable moving under water is the opera
tive power Conservative estimates
place the yield at a little over ten tons
to the acre although several predictions
by those more or less expert run the
crop up as high as thirteen and fourteen
tons
Commodore Hebron issues a warning
to all yachtsmen to be careful to always
pass behind the stern of the lighter
where the cable is slack as any attempt
to go ahead will mean a collision with
the taut rope which is likely to prove
disastrous.
