it so happened that Adj't Ferris, OF the
Both Mass, whose regiment was some
miles away in camp beyond the OpeQuan,
had met and become enamored of one Of
Col. Bonham's pretty daughters, and con-
trary to orders, and regardless of his own
safety, he occasionally rode out beyond the
picket line to visit and dine with Miss
Emma.
ION this occasion he had procured an
extra horse and persuaded one OF his men
to accompany him as his orderly, and
while Ferris was in the house counting the
young lady, the orderly was walking about
the yard, and 1t was he that Wiltshire had
sighted. A younger sister seeing the ap-
pros ching horsemen, and recognizing them
while they were yet great way off, ran in
and said: oh, Lieut.. Ferris! Mosby's men
are comingi What will become of your
Ferris came promptly to attention, babe

In plain view of Wiltshire's squad, called
to his orderly to bring the horses from
the stable near by. As minutes then were
precious, Ferris hurried to the stable, and
as he reached the door with his horse,
Wiltshire and Gill rode up. Having seen
Ferris enter the stable, they had ridden
with all speed to trap him there, and
Wiltshire greeted him with: Good day;
surrender Now, Ferris was not only a
brave and gallant officer, but a most ex-
cellent revolver shot, az well, and he read
lily net the greeting with: Good day;

ately the fight was on. His first shot
tumoled Wiltshire from his mount, and as
he shot Wiltshire Gill fred at him and
missed. His next shot MORALLY wounded
Gill; who clung to his saddle until he
reached farm house, where he died. By
this time the rest Of the party came up
and Col. Bonham, who was a strong
Southern sympathizsr and witnessed the
whole affair, said that Ferris, disdaining
to fight under cover, stepped out into the
open to engage in what appeared to be a
very unequal contest. He wounded two
Of the three remaining, replenished his
equipment from Wiltshire's holsters,
mounted Wiltshire's mare, and clearing
the lane, reached the pike and went to
camp, his orderly (who had not fired a
shot also getting safely in. After patient
search, found Ferris, and learning that
his account was substantially correct, for
distinguished gallantry in the face Of the
enemy I obtained for him medal of
honor, which he prizes above diamonds

On the morning of our eighth day out
we left Fairfax Court House, and coming

a beautiful and historic country, without
the breaking OF bolt or strap, and with
our faithful team driving better than when
we started, which, consider a feat in
horsemanship rarely excelled; and thus
ended our Modern Shenandoah Valley

milroys Battle in the, Shenandoah Valley.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have
just read DIR. Wilson's very interesting
account of trip up the Shenandoah Val
ley. He makes mere mention Of Gen.
Milroy's troops being scattered and
great many of them captured. 1t has al
ways been q wonder to me that we have
never had good description of Milroy's
battle in the Valley. l have always CON
sidered it one of the best-conducted bat
ties of the civil war, considering the num-
Der OF troops engaged on our side, about
10000 men Of all arms, against Lees
whole army, as it checked the Confederate
advance from Friday at noon until Mon
day morning at daybreak. My opinion Is
that there never would have been a Get
tysburg had it not been for this check
upon Lees advance into Pennsylvania.
Why Lee did not capture the little band
and move right along has always been
a mystery. When Milroy thought that he
was being surrounded he withdrew. from
the little fort, fell back down the Valley
and cut his way out with few Of his
troops at Harpers Ferry. I hope this
short note will bring out full descrip-
ton from an ADLER pen than Mines. W.

A few years ago a friend loaned me a
history of Mosby's Rangers DIETER known
as "Mosby's Guerrillas') which l read
with interest. Like most historians this
one usually recounted the successful ex-
ploits of members Of this noted command,
leaving the pleasing impression that their
exalted courage alone, with little reference
to members engaged easily won the day.
After having become somewhat satisfied
with this monotonous tale, 1 reached the
following: early in April, 1865, Col.
Mosby ordered Charley Wiltshire to take
a few men and scout in the direction Of
Stevenson's Depot, towards Winchester,
and watch for an opening to strike the
enemy. His party consisted Of a lawyer
from Baltimore named Gill, three others,
and himself, and well armed and mounted,

The advantages which Hawaii has
had over the other sugar producers by
reason Of her ability to sell her sugar
free of duty in the United States Is
illustrated by the comparison of the
relative growth of sugar production in
Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba and the en-.
tire cane and beet sections CT the
world from 1870 to 1880. 1t will be seen
that Porto Rico has deceased her pro-
duction slightly in that time: that Gu
ba increased her production from 1870
to 1895 Cher greatest sugar year, but
10 per cent; that the cane sugar pro-
duction of the world increased from
1870 to 1899 but so per cent, and the
beet sugar production $40 per cent;
while during the same time the Ha-
waiian production increased over 1000
per cent.
The increase in commerce between
| the Hawaiian Islands and the United
! States which followed the free move
ment of merchandise between those ISL
ands and our ports is also illustrated
! by the fact that the exports to the
1 Hawaiian Islands from the United
| States prior to 1876 amounted to less
than 600 annually, but rapidly
increased until in 1900 it was about $14,-
/ 600, and a recent report from the
/ Collector of Customs at Honolulu estI-
mates the figures for the present year
at $20,000.000. The commerce Of the
islands is. according to the American
iCyclopedia, an accepted authority
larger per capita than that of any
other country in the world, and nearly
all of it with the United States and
carried in American vessels
! The fact that this enormous increase
in production and commerce and
wealth of the Hawaiian Islands has
followed the freedom of trade with the
United States, established by the reel
procity treaty of 1876. suggests that the
Porto Ricans are likely TO benefit By
the same close trade relations which
they viii have under the new law
which they have asked President Nc
Kinley to. put into operation on the 25th
/ of the present month. The Hawaiian
Islands are 5000 miles from the Pacific
+ Coast. and 5000 miles from the great
consuming centers of the United
States: while Porto Rico is but a few
hundred miles distant. The sugar pro
duction of Porto Rico is now double
that of the Hawaiian Islands In the
year prior to the adoption of the reel
procity agreement while the tobacco.
tropical fruits and other productions
of Porto Rico will also have the same
advantages of free admission to the
markets of the United States in com
petition with the dutiable products of

and of the world.-New York Maritime

TALKED
OF THE HULA
The Nakanaela Profanity Case
Furnished Him With
a Surprise.

ing without light, 81 and costs.

was drunk at the time.

quized the Judge; why, the wife of our
Delegate to Congress is said to have

NEED FOR
CHEAP MEN
Pollitz Says Asiatics Only Will
Be Able to Develop
Estates.

Money is very tight in the Hawaii
now instead of remaining as formerly,
and a great deal of money has been
sent here 20 buy machinery. Added to
this the Government is more or less Of
burlesque, as the Legislature has
drawn the eolor line. The result is GER
eral depression in sugar stocks, Though
so far as they are concerned there is no
reason for it,
, This is the statement made by Ed
ward Pollitz in the San Francisco Ex-
aminer of July 49, who returned from
Honolulu on the steamer Sierra after
making six weeks tour of inspection
of the sugar plantations. AS for the
town of Honolulu, he says it is tenn
porarily most disagreeable place to
live in. A building boom is going on
ard the noise and heat are oppressive.
In speaking of the plantations in which
Californians are interested, Mr. POLITE
said:
1.-THE labor problem is a difficult one
to handle. White men cannot work in
the canefields, only Asiatics and some
Of the Latin races being fit for such
work. None of the Asiatics are en-
ployed where a white man can work,
yet more Asiatics are needed and this
complicates the problem. I shall in
terview some of the labor leaders here
with the idea of having them study the
situation. The plantations require vast
quantities of supplies and machinery
from this country; but to develop the
plantations Asiatic labor is essential.
"As to the fight between the Sugar
Trust and the Oxnards, all can say is
that 1t does not affect the planters. The
act is made on the margin left for re-
filming, the raw is sold under contract to
the Trust and the Crockett refinery. AT
present the Trust refines about 50 per
cent, and the Independent refineries the
other AZ per cent of all the sugar re-
fined in the United States"
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-08-01

The action of the Porto Ricans In
promptly accepting that feature of the
Porto Rican act which authorizes free
trade between the island and the Unit
ed States is likely to give them great
advantages over their sister islands Of
the West Indies. AT least this is
reasonable conclusion from an exami-
nation of some figures just made public
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics,
regarding the prosperity which Hawaii
enjoyed after the reciprocity treaty
which admitted the sugar of those ISL
ands into the United States free of
duty These figures show that the SUI
gar production of the Hawaiian ISL
ands has increased over 1000 per cent
under the free admission of their sugar
to the markets of the United States,
while the other cane-sugar producing
islands and countries have during that
time suffered great depression. and in
many cases heavy losses.
1t was in 1876 that the reciprocity
treaty was made between the United
States and the Hawaiian Islands. Prior
to that date the average production
of sugar in the islands was but about
25, 100000 pounds per annum. In five
years the production had trebled, in if
teen years it was ten times as much.
and in twenty years, twenty times as
much as before the treaty. Within less
than ten years after the ratification Of
the treaty more than $20,000,000 of Am
erican capital had been invested in the
islands, and the total value of the SUI
gar production of the islands since the
treaty is $3.50. 900.
The following table shows the pro
duction of sugar in the Hawaiian Isl,
ands from 1875, the year preceding the
reciprocity treaty to 1899:
