WILL COACH THE HAWAIIANS.


Agricultural Department Planning to
WASHINGTON, March 18.-Jared
Smith, who has been in charge of the
offices of seed and plant introduction
in the department of agriculture, has
been directed to start in a few days
for Honolulu to establish an argicul-
tural experiment station there.
AS director, his first work will be .
teach the Hawaiian people how to
grow garden truck. Most of the veg
etables now consumed in the island
are imported from San Francisco.
They will be taught also the value of
dairy COWS among poor families, but
ter and cheese making, the forage
plants most economically produced for
Hawaiian consumption and the value
of poor families raising chickens and
pigs.
This agricultural missionary work
in the interest of the common people
CT the islands will be ussayed before
other agricultural problems will be
considered. There are 200 acres, run
ming from the coast to the top of a
mountain, set apart by the Hawaiian
legislature for this purpose. These
matters will be given attention near
the coast, coffee raising will be stud
led on the higher elevations and for
estry work will be done on the noun
tain tops.
Regarding agricultural experiment
work in the Philippines, Secretary
Wilson said today:
Congress will not appropriate
money for experimenting in the Phil
ippines until the people there have
quieted down. Then the departmnt
of agriculture will be ready to conduct
researches; in fact, the green houses
of the department here now have
plants growing for shipmnt there as
soon as conditions are ripe. Among
these is rubber, seeds of which are
being brought from all parts of the
world for sending to the new islands
under the American flag"

UNCLE SANS AGENT JAILED.
VenezueIans PerpetrGte a Second Outrage
on BaiZ at Barcelona.


PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March
1S.-(Via Haytien Cable.)-News has
reached here that the United consular
agent at Barcelona, Venezuela, MI.
Ignace BALI, has been arrested by Ven
ezuelan officials and imprisoned with
out adequate cause. This is the sec
ond time he has been treated in this
fashion within the last five months,
and he will resign unless protected by
the Washington government. 1t ap-
pears that several sums Of money
have been forced from him by Vene-
zuelan officials under threat of i'm
prisonment.
The protest of Mr.. Baiz to Wash
ington seems to have resulted in no
response thus far. Three months ago
Mr.. Loomis, the United States minis
ter at Caracas, made a demand on the
Venezuelan government for an apol-
ogy for the first outrage, but his COM
munication was quite ignored.

idly, the fire quickly spread to the en-
tire barn, destroying all the farm i'm

court yesterday decided that Scranton
IS and has been since the arrival OF
the governors certification of the cen
sus, a city Of the second class. and that
the liquor license fee for this year is
$1,100 instead Of $3.50. One Of the
grounds for attacking the ripper"
clauseof the Muehlbronnerac was that
a recorder could not be appointed for
Scranton, because Scranton was not yet
a second class city. The same judges
who passed on the liquor license today
made a decision declaring the ripper"
bill constitutional. The case will be
carried to the supreme court.
