FRENCH IN NO HURRY.
WillDelay Evacuation of Pao Ting Flu
Until Autumn.

London. July 3.-A dispatch from
Pekin says:
The French propose to delay their
evacuation of Pao Ting Flu until au-
tumn. They believe that their presence
there is necessary, as the disorders,
which have been widespread, are in
creasing. The Society of Allied Viii
layers is replacing the boxer Orga MIA
ton This society was ostensibly
formed for local protection, but it is
really insurrectionary, as it resists the
collection of the regular taxes because
the villages suffered heavily last year,
and objects to the additional taxes for
the expenses of the courts return and
indemnity for the Catholic converts,
who greatly outnumber the Protest
ants.
The people have some ground for
complaint, 1t Is said, but money being
needed, the government must make de-
mands. and when they are resisted the
Chinese troops must enforce the gov
ernment's orders If these troops fail
the foreign troops must interpOse.
Hence there is good reason for the
French rem aiming, as the converts are
under their protection Another reason
IS that the railway runs through the
disturbed districts, and must be pro-
tected. The Germans intend to evacu-
ate Pac Ting Flu by July s.

New York, July 3.-The action of the d.
rectors of the United States Steel CONF
pany yesterday was conservative and had
been expected with regard to the common
stock of the new steel company We do
not intend to say that anything was given
in the shape of a formal plan, but from
the conditions of exchange Of suretes
and the statement made in the first pros
pectus of the steel corporation holders OF
the common stocks of the consolidated
companies had a moral right to assume
that their status in the new company
would be at least equal to that of col
lector of 4 per cent dividends. The decla-
ration of this dividend sets at rest all
skepticism and doubt which the bears in
the stock market have been utilizing TO
a con siderable extent compared with
other industria1s which pay 4 per cent.

AN EXPENSIVE ROAD.
Rossvills People Agitatsd Over Pro-
posed New Thoroughfare.

People living in the vicinity Of Null
vane's ranch near Rossvi1le are consid-
erably agitated over a proposition to
build a road across a stretch of the
river bottom there.
Some years ago there was a loop in
the river at this point, which has been
cut off, leaving the dry river bed BY
building a road across this dry loop 1t
would enable the people living on the
west side to reach RossviIle without
crossing the railroad tracks. The road
was petitioned for, and although ad-
versely reported by the viewers, was
finally allowed by the county commits
sioners.
The cost Of building the road, which
Is about a mile long is estimated at
from $4,000 to $50, 900. Most Of the peo-
pie of that locality are said to be OPP
posed to the road on the ground that
it will cost too much
The people who are in favor of the
road are said to be a few cattle raisers,
who would be assisted by the road in
getting their cattle to market and their
corn from the farms east Of them.

LAND FORESETTLERS.

Elsewhere Allan Herbert calls at
| tention to the fact that, within four
months, a 5O-year lease of an Immense
tract of arabic land on Oahu will ex-
pre- This land rents for three cents an
acre, and, during the half century of the
leasehold, it has contributed little or
nothing to the well-being of Hawaii.
Cattle have grazed upon it, eating away
| a good part of the original forest; but
the advantages gained have been chief
lily private and in no sense commensur-
ate with the potential value of the
tract.
Mr. Herbert estimates the area at
about $4,000 acres, nearly half of which
he believes should be reforested. The
remainder, something less than 5000
acres, he holds to be the most desirable
place for homesteads now or soon to
be available. The soil is deep and rich,
with water not far from the surface;
the railroad passes through it; the sea-
bathing is better than that at Waikiki;
the scenery is impressive; the climate
equable and soothing. What better
place for hundreds of thrifty homes
like those at Wahiawa; a place where
small farmers can raise poultry, eggs,
fruit and vegetables for this growing
and eager market; a center of civiliz-
ing influences: the kind of a place, in
short, which represents the basic quail
tiles of American life better than any
other.
Very likely the tract will be wanted
for a sugar plantation, for cane of ex-
traordinary value grows upon one cor
ner of it, but we submit that this coun-
try just now needs the small proprietor
far more than it does the big corpora
ton. We have corporations enough in
the domain of griculture-perhaps a
few corporations too many. But the
farmer especially the American farm
er, is conspicuously scarce and it is
time to give him a chance and an in
centive.
Will not the Government open the
tract to which Mr.. Herbert refers. to
the actual homesteader who must be
an American citizen, giving him a
chance to drive his stake permanently
into the soil? 1t could do nothing, 50
far as the disposal of land is concern
ed, of more advantage to the people of
Hawaii

ing to death. The people refused an
solutely to give me anything to eat If
they sighted me astride my wheel. and
1 came near being murdered several
times when l attempted to enter their
houses for the purpose OF helping nv
self. 1 learned finally to leave my
wheel when l was hungry and ap-
proach house on foot. and invariably
l was then received with the greatest
hospitality. But this system eventually
resulted In my undoing. One day,
when hunger had driven me to hide
my wheel by the roadside while I went
in search Of food, some farm laborers
found 1t, and when 1 returned my only
means of conveyance was a mass of
battered rods and spokes. Fortunately,
when this calamity befell me, 1 was
on my way back TO Picking. and only
a trifling matter of 800 miles remained
for me to walk"

DON'T EXTEND lTl

We hope that the Governor will not
consent to lengthen the present session
of the Legislature. At the end of it,
sixty days will have been practically
lost or thrown away; and there is no
assurance that the Legislature would
make any better use of thirty DAYS
more. The further time would doubt
| less be used up in the mischievous
ifoolery which has characterized the
regular session.
1t is of course inevitable that we
must have an extra session for the pas
sage of revenue and appropriation bills.
This will differ from a thirty day extern
sion Of the regular session in that no
general legislation can be passed. The
Solons must confine themselves to the
duties prescribed in the call. What
they would probably like better is
thirty days more of regular work" and
after that an extra session of thirty
days, making about four months of
salary grabbing. 1t Is for the Governor
ito checkmate this scheme and compel
the Legislature to get down to the
specific details of public revenue.
