WAsHOUT AT WAIANAE.
Temporary Trouble on the Line Yester-
day-Everything All Right Now.

The regular 9:15 train to Waianae
was unable to get through to the end
of its trip yesterday owing to the Sc
we're rain storms at that end of the
line. The rails run along the lowlands
at the foot of the mountains and in
consequence receive the debris of all
the washouts that occur in rainy
weather.
A small washout happened yesterday
morning temporarily prohibiting traf-
fic and the passengers were brought
back to town by the company. Later
in the day the trouble was rectifed and
train sent through TO Waianae to
bring to town the passengers who were
booked for the single trip from there to
Honolulu. The line Is clear today and
no future trouble is anticipated with
the schedule.
General Ticket and Passenger Agent
f. c. Smith states that bridges are
being put in at various points as speed
lily as possible and that any future
difficulty even in the heaviest rains will
soon be entirely obviated.

DIR. PRATT,S WILL.

The will of the late DR.. James Hyde
Pratt was refused admission to prob
ate this morning by Judge Humphreys,
on the ground that legal evidence of
its genuineness was not complete. The
judge suggested if the witnesses could
not be found, that the heirs enter into
stipulation, agreeing that the docu-
ment offered is the true last will and
testament. This course will probably
be taken.

OFFICES IN HAWAII.
CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP AND UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY.
Robinson Apparently Leading as a
Candidate for Judgeship-Wyoming' 5
Claim to the Other Place.

WASHINGTON. December 15-Coun-
ty Auditor j. Cal Ewing, Clarence
Crowell and II. +. Revalk Of Oakland
arrived i'm Washington today. CrOwell
is chairman of the Republican County
Committee. They met Representative
Metcalf tonight. Representative Met
calf saw Attorney General Knox yes
terday in relation TO securing the ap-
poilntment of w J. Robinson, former
ly Of Oakland, to a vacant judgeship
in Honolulu
Robinson stock has gone up very
much recently, among Honolulu people
who are watching the fight, and the
above dispatch confirms expectations
that seem to put Robinson in the lead.
1t is also reported that Caypless' cham
ces have largely gone glimmering,
though just what basis there is for such
reports cannot be said.
A few months ago, when the matter
was first agitated at Washington, it
was generally agreed that Caypess had
almost a sure thing. He was endorsed
by all parties, even his old-time poll
teal enemies joining in approval Of his
candidacy. But the appointment drag-
ged and other candidates got in the
field.
Another r.oort is that the success of
Robinson may mean additional difficult
ty for J. J. Dunno, IN getting the ap-
pOintment of United states Attorney
here. 1t is argued that if California
gets the judgeship, in the person of w.
J. Robinson, Wyoming's chance to get
her man in as district attorney will be
increased, as California may be held
not entitled to both places. Dunno is a
California man. 1t is generally ad-
mitted, however. that Dunne's record
i'm the position and the fact that he has
virtually occupied the place for many
months and has been the actual ap-
pointee making a good record during
the most important litigation that has
been handled by the office here, entitle
him to the appointment.

Grafton of Labor. The decision to meet in
the Southern Minnesota town was reach
ed at a meeting of the executive board
at Assembly hall yesterday afternoon.
Indications now are that the meeting
will be one of the largest ever held in
the state. There are now about Is, 900 men
in the state, associated with the differ
ent trades unions, and the larger part of
these organizations is affiliated with the
state federation. About $50 delegates are
expected to he present, including some
noted labor leaders from abroad During
the two days that the liberation will be
in session, public mass meeting will
probably be arranged ror.
AT the meeting yesterday a resolution
was adopted thanking Gov. Van SAINT,
Labor Commissioner ODonnell and such
members of the legislature as were in
strumental in securing the passage Of the
eight hour law and other labor Iegisla-
tion. The executive board Of the fedora
ton is composed Of E. B. Lott, chairman;
H. w. Goetzinger, secretary; and Messrs
]. B. Morrison, J. L. Geske and John
Klaus. President Neary, of Minneapolis,
was present at the meeting.

STEAMER EDWARD DOUGLAS PASS
ELS THROUGH DRAWBRIDGE.

Navigation on the Upper Mississippi as
far as the stretch of water between ST.
Paul and Minneapolis is concerned, was
practically resumed at o clock last even
ing, when the Great Western drawbr.dge
opened to admit the steamer Edward
Douglas, bound from the lower river to
of tie binders and two barges of hard
wood tie pins.
When the boat came in sight, the call
for the opening of the draw was sounded
but the engineer, eviHently deep In a
Rip Van Wrinkle slumber, failed to re-
spond, and the deep sonorous blasts from
the boats whistle awakened the echoes
no less than three times before the pom
derous draw slipped from its mooring
and Strengthened its length out over the
stream. AS the boat neared the draw,
which failed to open, halt was made
opposite the Diamond 10 dock. and a
boat was sent ashore to find out the
trouble. By this time the engineer had
reached the scene, and, pulling the lever,
removed the obstruction.
Last Thursday the pleasure steamer
Lora was the first craft 10 rlow the wa
ters in this vicinity after their long siege
with the ice king but the Douglas is the
first craft to demand the opening Of the
draw. The fleet now at Saltwater Is
expected in a few days. Two days ago
considerable ice was reported in Lake
Pepin, and in several instances boats UP
from the lower river were compelled to
take to the shore to avoid ice foes. The
lake is now practically clear.

Canadian 5-cent silver pieces are in
great demand in the tea trade, and peo-
ple who have some of these coins can.
if they want to, easily dispose OF rhem
at any tea brokers' Office.
A New York Sun reporter who visited
the office of a tea merchant recently was
surprised to see one Of these coins lying
in one of the scales in which tea is
weighed when a. sample is to be tasted.
He picked the coin UP and examined It.
The manager quietly remarked:
ST hope you won't take that for a
pocket piece We have quite lot OF
difficulty in getting those coins and keep
ing them.
'what are they used for?" asked the
reporter.
"a Canadian scent silver piece is the
standard weight in the tea trade In this
country for weighing tea sufficient to
make one cup Where the custom orig
mated I don't know, but when we make
a sample cup of tea we just take enough
to balance this coin in the scales.
1--WE have lots of trouble In keeping
them. Every one who comes in looks al
the coins and probably not realizing what
we use them for takes one away.
''Sorne of the brokers use piece of leaG
of just that weight instead but the
weight of a piece of lead may be ques
toned when the tea is weighed. Others
stick a piece of paper on each side OF
the coin to disguise it.
s'It is one Of the old trade customs -and
I suppose will last as long as tea Il
bought and sold"

CARPENTERS STANDING FIRM

Labor troubles in Minneapolis have
been still further augmented by a
disagreement between the stonecutters
and their employers, which has resulted
in a lockout for the former The union
has made a demand for so cents an hour,
instead of As cents paid last year. which
has been refused. Formerly the stone
(, cutters worked under the 50-cent sched-
ule, but during the period Of financial de-
preston they agreed to reduce the price
to 45 cents, providing that after good
times" had returned the old schedule
would be resumed. The stonecutters con-
tend that the employers can well afford
to pay 80 cents an hour this year and en-
bodied a demand for that wage in the
contract for this season.
There is still no sign of weakening on
the part of either the master builders or
Z the Building Trades council. The lockout
is still in force and promises to be con-
tinued as rigfdly as during the week just
past. Both sides rested yesterday, and
Alexander's hall, which, during the last
week, was thronged with workingmen,
was practically deserted The master
builders, who had been holding one and
sometimes two or three sessions during
each day of last week, spent Sunday at

said he, because i think there is any
danger Of the Building Trades council
being defeated if the lockout is continued
all summer. In fact, I believe organized
labor can stand this sort Of business just
as long, if not longer, than the con-
tractors can. But it Is a patent fact that
both sides are losing money. AS a mat

me that a settlement should be arranged

St Paul is the best, place in the world
to raise mushrooms and something like
-lQeOO pounds are now being shipped
annually to Duluth, Kansas City, Chi,
cago and ST Louis. Very few people
IN the city are aware of this, for the
industry is yet in it's infancy, though it
is growing rapidly. A banquet cannot
take place in any of the leading hotels
of the city without mushrooms They
are indispensable, while ten years ago
1t was rarely that their use was heard
Of
Louis r. Lambert, now of the Mime
sofa Mushroom CO., started the industry
here in 1894 and from the small begin
ming of 100 pounds year no
now claims a total production of 10000
pounds. The company raises the fungi
in the vacant caves ION the West Side
near the High bridge, in the old caves OF
the Hamm Brewing company near Day
tons Huff, and in the caves of Ban
holzers brewery near the Omaha shops.
The general impression is that q mush-
room springs up to- full growth in a day,
then dies to make room for another.
