TWO SCIENTISTS WHO ARE RE-
TURNING HOME
VIII Give Their Collections TO Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania and Academy %
Natural Sciences-At Philadelphia.

Among the passengers on the Amcri-
Ca Maru for the states are a. q. Har-
rison, Jr and Or. IA. NJ. Hitler who are
just returning from am extended eX-
piurauon of Sumatra. Their trip 10
Sumatrd was in line with scientific
work which they have been following
together for the past six years. They
are anthrOpOlOgists and their researches
have taken them to practically almost
every country of the glCbc. lu Iaot A.
has made globe trotters out Of them
for Mr. Harrison has been engaged in
this work for ten years.
After three and half months cNplOr-
alton Of Sumatra, Mr.. Harrison returns
with thorough contempt for the colo
nial methods Of the Dutch. Were Su-
matra,' ne said under any other rule
but the Dutch she would be one OF the
richest sections in the world. As 1t Is
now, she produces most of the coffee of
the world. Two-thirds Of the coffee
which Is labelled Java comes from Su-
matra. Sumatra's tobacco ranks with
that Of Cuba and the Philippines, as
the best in the world Absolutely no
announcement is offered TO capital by
the Dutch government. The natives
are held down in every way, i'm order
that the Dutch government can profit
out of everything. Take for example
the production of tobacco, the govern
ment requires the producers TO sell il
to the government for 10 rupees for
about 1870 pounds. The government
then turns around and disposes of the
product to American and other people
for 665 or more rupees. The govern
ment has monopoly on everything that
offers a chance for profit.
AS the result of this method of gov
ernment, there are now two wars In
progress i'm the islands. The AChinese
i'm the northern section have been in
revolt for 81 years and I'm Jambi which
is toward the central part Of the island,
another tribe has broken out again
in revolt
I'VE travelled very extensively
through the island, exploring the vari-
Gus sections and studying the tribes,
birds and animals. We secured a num-
Der of specimens of birds but l am un-
able to say whether any of them are
a new species or not. II is our inten-
ton to give the chronological collection
to the University of Pennsylvania and
the natural history collection to the
Acade0y Of Natural Science in Phila-
delphia."
During the course of their travels,
the gentlemen have visited Borneo,
Java, China, Japan, Siam, the Malay
Peninsula, Siberia, Manchuria, Austria
liza the Gobe Desert and Central Amer
lea, and may possibly, go to the South
Sea Islands next year. one very in
teresting trip and one which was at
tended with many dangers was an
exploration of the Naga Hills which
run down from Thibet and divide AS
sam and upper Burmah. That district
which they explored is infested with
numerous savage hill tribes who are
head hunters. In 1888 they made q
| Journey from Peking to st. Petersburg,
! travelling by mule across China through
! the Gobe Desert on Camels and over
siberia on horseback. This trip occu-
/ pied four months.

CIGARS STILL HELD
MANILAS KEPT BY COLLECTOR
STACKABLE.
The Honolulu Custom House Apparent
ly Overlooked by the Treasury De-
partment This Time.

II. j. Johnson, the custom house
hundred thousand Manila cigars held
duty, since the news was received of
the United States Supreme court deci-
sion admitting goods from the Philip
pines free of duty. The duty on them
amounts to between $4,000 and $4,000.
Collector Stackable, however, refuses
to release the goods as he has never
received orders to do so. In some way
or other Honolulu seems to have been
forgotten or overlooked in the sending
out of instructions under the new Su-
preme Court ruling. The collector has
no right to assume a change in his or
deTs, it is claimed, just because Su-
preme Court decision shows that
change is coming, and the cigars must
therefore wait till Stackable hears from
the Treasury Department.
Johnson made application after the
Nippon Maru arrived, expecting that
the department would have sent the
order as has been done before, by wire
through the collector at San Francisco.
This was done several weeks ago by
the internal revenue department when
the ruling was made applying inter
nal revenue laws of the Philippines.
"All the other collectors have received
the order" said johnson, "and l
thought it would have come here
[ may come by the Alameda. If the
Alameda arrives before the America
Maru leaves, and does not bring the
order telegraphic inquiries will be sent
on by the Japanese vessel.

FOR The Upper CHILDREN

There Will be a box sent to the leper
children at Kalaupapa and Kalawao
from the Hawaiian Board rooms (at the
top of the Boston Building) on Monday,
December %. 1t is desired that anyone
who cares to contribute children's toys.
clothing or money for such purposes
shall leave it at the Board rooms. OF
course it is preferable to have this done
on Saturday, but gifts unaVoidably
delayed until Monday morning may be
handled
There is probably less done this year
for the lepers than on any previous
year. 1t is hoped therefore that there
will be a liberal response TO this ap-
peal.

FLORENTINE FAIENCE.

Vogue" of December 5th, in descrlb-
ing new holiday goods. has the follow
ing to say of Florentine Faience:
cone of the rarest most expensive of
ware 'e the genuine old Capodimonte,
made so many long years ago in Naples.
When this establishment burned, one
Gindre, by permission Of the King, es-
tablished a new factory, and called the
ware Florentine Faience. Some of 1t is
worthy of the most eXtraVagant terms
of praise, as the texture of the porce-
lain seems lost in representing the tex
ure Of the flower it portrays, and the
delicacy of the landscape painting is
truly marvellous"
The Pacific Hardware Co, have eX-
ampes of the above ware direct from
Italy, at both the Bethel and Fort
street salesrOOms.

WHAT son OF SUGAR MAGNATE
SAYS OF SUGAR.
Thinks VIII be Question Short Time
Before Curtain Product is Admitted,
Beet sugar Men Threatened.

In the opinion of Alfred G.. Harrison,
Jr. of Philadelphia, the admission Il
sugar from Cuba is a question of but
a very short time. He is now on his
way home after an extended tour of
Japan and SumatTa and while he has
not been in the United States since
last March, he has kept sufficiently well
posted with the general trend of affairs
to speak with some understanding in
the matter. His father was Of tLa
tirm of Harrison and HaYemeyer, tie
sugar refiners at the time that the gig
antiC sugar trust was formed and the
younger Harrison will himself, in all
probability, engage in the sugar bust
ness after his return to the States
The admission Of the Cuban sugar
Is, | believe, he said this morning, a
question of a comparatively short time.
have been away from home for some
months but from what / understand,
everything indicates that sugar will be
admitted soon. ] do not think however
that it will be admitted at this session
Of Congress but il is certain TO come
soon.
There is a large amount of capital
going into cuba in the development of
the sugar industry and It is being in
vested by men who would not, l believe
put their money in that quarter did
they not know what they were doing.
There is no occasion for the sugar
Hawaiian people to feel worried over
the admission of the Cuban sugar. The
finest sugar raised i'm the world is pro-
duCed here in Hawaii. 1t will be the
beet sugar producers on the Mainland
who will be hurt. On the way to the
orient last spring, l talked with the
agent Of one of the biggest beet sugar
men i'm American and the agent was
very discouraged over the prospect. He
said that the beet sugar men realized
that they were playing a losing game
but they proposed to make the best
fight they could against the Cuban
sugar interests.
Java is another section that will be
crippled by the admission of sugar
from our new possessions. There has
not been enough sugar raised to supply
our own demand so Java has been en-
abled to profit by the deficit but when
the sugar from Porto Rica, Cuba and
the Philippines begins to come into the
United States, it will crowd out the
product of Java. There are some mag
nificent plantations in Java and while
the people have made their fortunes
there, the industry is in a bad way
now, for nobody can be found who is
willing to put a dollar in it.

The National Temperance Society Of
the United States met recently at Buff
falo, N. Y. A number OF resolutions
were adopted expressing the views OF
the gathering upon questions OF cur
rent interest In the progress OF the
temperance reform. The following was
the resolution on education: From
the standpoint OF the Individual the
basic principle Of the temperance re
form is that OF total abstinence from
intoxicating liquors. Therefore. we af-
firm our belief in the necessity Of an
early incubation of total abstinence
principles in the minds Of the children
and youth Of our land. through phys
biological, hyglenic and moral teaching
We pledge ourselves to n campaign for
personal total abstinence, to the bet
ter enforcement Of the scientific laws
existing on the statute books OF every
state in the nation save one. to tenn
perance teaching and pledge-signing in
the Sunday-schools: to more and bet
ter organized work In our colleges, and
to aggressive effort through any and
all media which can advance the
growth OF total abstinence sentiment
and practice. based upon science and
knowledge. both among children and
adults. Side by side with this cam
paign for temperance education must
march another for the arousement Of
the Christian conscience 70 the neces-
sity Of personal total abstinence and
to a recognition Of the enormity Of the
lesalized. organized liquor traffic We
call upon the entire church OF Christ
to see the latest light upon this sub
iect. scientific, economic and moral.
and then to SO let that light shine that
God may be glorihed in the redemption
Of humanity from the curse OF strong
drink. till the Christian church shall
everywhere stand for an Interpretation
Of Christianity which shall be as ap-
plicabl8 to national as to ecclesiastical
politics; to the polling booth as to the
prayer meeting.
