NO MORE OIL
EXPERIMENTS
The Use of Petroleum as Dust
Destroyer is Temporarily
Abandoned.

There will be no further experimenting
with crude petroleum as a dust destroy
er on Honolulu streets until the price of
oil is very much cheapened. While the
experiments on Richards street are con-
sidered successful by Marston Campbell,
Assistant superintendent of Public
Works, under whose supervision the
work was done. he does not believe that
a continuation of the experiment would
pay from a financial standpoint. There
was some talk of trying the effect or
on the Diamond Head road,
but this plan has also been abandoned,
until the price of oil comes down, which
is certain to happen as soon as the plan
tations begin the use of the fluid as fuel
The advent of tank steamers, Mr.. Camp
bell believes, win make it possible to de-
liver oil in Honolulu at least 80 per cent
cheaper than the present price, as the
expense of transportation and barrels
add greatly to its cost. When, however,
oil is stored here in tanks in large guam
titles, its use on roads Will not be pro-
hibitiVe as to cost.

a jam of Carria ges.

The arrangements of the hack inspec-
tors for the regulation of hacks and pri-
vate carriages after the performance
Saturday night were very crude, and re-
suited in an almost hopeless tangle OF
vehicles. causing a delay of nearly half
an hour before the last of the theater-
goers could be driven away. When the
numbers of hacks were called, there
were too many officers in authority, and
the hackmen were ordered hither and
thither until the street in front of the
Capitol gates was damned. Some of the
officers ordered hacks TO back up, dis
regarding the fact that by so doing they
ran them into others directly behind.
When an extra hack was called for by
one officer another would order it back,
and so the confusion went on. Better
arrangements should be made for the
next performance. Under the present
rule it is the custom to bring all car
riages up to the theater door facing to-
ward Fort street. AS three or even four
out of every five carriages are driven
toward Makiki and Waikiki. the best
plan would be to bring the vehicles be-
fore the door facing Waikiki. Previous
TO the curtain fall I'm the last act the
hacks should be parked in the widest
part of Union Square. which is the space
on the Eva side of the theater. Parked
in rows, say four abreast. all facing to-
ward Waikiki. with sufficient space be-
tween to give right of way there would
be less confusion, and the narrowest
part of the street would be left open for
the departure of the carriages. instead of
being damned as on Saturday night

do as there is no confidence felt In any
of the greater tribesmen- The Maca-
bebes alone have the confidence OF the
soldiers They can be trusted, for they
have no future except that of employ
ment by the ruling power For many
years they have been utilized by the
Spaniards for soldiery. Thus they have
earned the hatred OF the representatives
of other tribes and so they have with
drawn into themselves, they number
something 30 900, and they live with their
hands against every man of their color.
and the hand of every man against them.
These soldiers viii be in line with the
United States all the time, and they
alone of all the tribes may be depended
upon for service. 1t is not alone the
Tagals or the Viscayans, or the Ulocans,
it is every tribe in the same way; they
are all in the same state of mind as re-
CARDS the new rulers.
Il am convinced that the Katipunan is
just as strong in the Island of Luzon,
perhaps all over the islands. as it ever
was. There is not much of the old
program of assassination as there was in
the former days, but the society is there
just the same, and the members are just
as strongly opposed to the government
by the Americans they We're two years
ago. There will be necessary a strong
force to keep the malcontents.in fear of
will be no change until the new order
is strong enough to make itself felt This
may come about through the e,.ucation
of the people; some of the officials think
it will: but there can be little change
effected during this generation. The ed
ucation will hardly take until the young
sters of today are grown.
During the trip We saw no more
tropical place than Ceylon, and now we

Senator Bacon would not discuss the

Senator Bacon spent the most o. Satur-
day in going about the city, and while he
said there was every evidence of push
and thrift he thought the mud was too
great Tor comfort. He would not leave
the ship for the hotel, but passed Satur-

PRINCIPALLY FLOWERS.
Display on Senatorial Desks the Principal
| Feature Of the Opening Session.

Washington. Dec. ga profusion Of
floral offerings, quite unusual in guam
tity, variety and beauty, transformed
the senate chamber into o veritable
flower show. Almost everv member OF
the body was the recipient of one or
more of these evidences of the regard Of
his friends, and the atmosphere of the
chamber was heavy with the odor Of
rare plants and blossoms. The display
of chrysanthemums was notably beauti-
full, many of the specimens being Of the
choicest varieties.
After prayer by the chaplain and. the

Variable Tor Display Of Choics Flowers.

Washington, Dec. .3.-The organization
OF the Fifty-seventh congress was accom-
plished according to time-honored prece-
dents, and with only one little scrap,
which arose over the adoption Of the
rules of the last congress, with slight
amendments. an
Speaker Henderson was sworn in by
Gen. Bingham, and after delivering q
very graceful speech in recognition Of
the honor bestowed upon him, he in turn
administered the oath to the members
elect. The usual committees were APP
pointed to inform the president and the
senate that the house was organized and
ready to do business; committee of
three, consisting OF Messrs. Payne, Bing-
ham and Richardson, was appointed to
join similar committee Of the senate
and wait upon the president and inform
him that congress was ready to receive
any communication he might have to
make: the rules of the last house were
adopted after the slight jar above mem
toned and then the biennial seat-draw-
ing occurred. This latter ceremony was
robbed Of much Of its interest by the fact
that under the new arrangement OF seats
there are more than enough to go round,
and those whose names are drawn last
do not suffer as they did on former occs-
sions.
The flower show, which is the greatest
featu1e OF the opening day, was not as
imposing as usual. More than ever be-
fore were sent to members, and after the
seat.drawing the house adjourned before
a third of them were brought into the
hall. Over three thousand bills were
introduced on the first day in the house.

SHIP TO UTAH.
Washington and Oregon Wheat Gets a Special
Rate.

Saltlake, Utah, Nov. 30.-Localmillers
and wheat and flour dealers are highly
eated by the announcement that 40
cent rate on Oregon and Washington
wheat had been agreed upon by the
Oregon Short Line and the o. R. & N.
companies.
This rate applies to all points east OF
Umatilla, and under it wheat grown in
Oregon and in the famous Palouse
country of Washington can and will be
shipped into Utah at profit.
1t is said that orders aggregating 80,
GOO bushels were forwarded to shippers
IN Oregon. The millers in all sections
OF Utah are greatly in need OF wheat,
and just how much of shipment viii
be made this winter from the Northwest
cannot be estimated.

TWO IMPORTANT CASES.
" Fourteen Diamond Rings" and Doolsy d
cisions Handed Down.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Opinions have
been rendered in the United States SUI
preme court in the last two of the insu-
lar test cases. In the Fourteen. Dia-
mond Rings case" the court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, held that the dia-
mond rings brought in from the Philip
pines and over which the case arose,
should have been exempted from duty
under the Paris treaty Of peace. which
madethe Philippines American territory.
The decision in the Philippine case fol-
lowed closely that of the first Puerto
Rican case at the last term. In the
Dooley case it was held that the duty
collected on goods carried from New York
to Puerto Rico was permissible, but that
it was in reality tax for the benefit Of
the Puerto Ricans themselves. rather
than export duty, rs was claimed by the
merchants who antagonized the govern
ment.
{ In both cases there were dissenting
opinions, concurred in by four Of the
nine Justices Of the court.
