I. M'clN1S STEWART
TALKS OF MAUnALEl
HE THINKS IT THE MAKING OF
A PROSPEROUS
ESTATE.
The Land is Good and There is
Water in PIenty-Sad Need of a
School on the Island-Meeting
and Petition.

T. McCants Stewart, the Iudiciully
appointed receiver "a the .daunalel
Sugar Co., returned on Sunday from
an official visit to the plantation. He
installed George Weight, formerly
manager of Kahuku plantation, as
manager pending the litigation in
progress. This was because L. NJ
vetlesen, the .company's manager, IS
related by marriage to the owners OF
the land. Mr.. Stewart yesterday
made a statement to reporter of The
Republican regarding the conditions
of the estate, saying: y
The situation looks favorable. The
land is first-class. There is apparent
ly good supply of water. 1t is some
what brackish but good for drinking
and irrigation purposes. Three pumps
of the double Risdon pattern are in
stalled. Although they were seized
under process OF law, since my return
have begun negotiations under
which it is hoped the largest pump
will be available for saving the grow
ing cane.
THE plantation has strip of land
quarter of a mile wide running up
about six miles to 50-foot elevation.
It is good mountain-wash soil cap
able of producing so tons of cane TO
the acre Something over two miles
of the strip is under cultivation, or
IFS to 200 acres of good cane.
The plantation is well built-up and
equipped. From the sea, where they
have a good wharf costing over $4,000,
up to the end of cultivation runs a
railroad with some rolling stock.
They have several houses. includ
ing laborers' barracks 60 #. by 40 IT.
and substantial dwellings for man.

The End Came Yesterday Noon at

DR.. Robert McKibbin is dead By
his death Honolulu loses sight OF one
OF the most hearty personalities ii has
ever known. and a manly figure thai
had been familiar IN its streets for
nigh half a century. A wireless mes

LIQUOR-MEA HAVE BEEN IN CLOVER

that during the first half of December
We sold enough stuff to really justify
a tax Of $3.50. But when the assess.
ment was made. the stock was not
nearly so complete" The total am
cunt OF taxes paid last year on the
various stocks of liquor In this city
was less than $1,000
Now IL the taxes on other kinds o.
business were l.. the same ratio. no
one would feel that he had been in
jured. IL the owners of real estate
were treated with the same consider
alton as the liquor men and sufficient
revenues could be raised by clinging
to the rate charged against the liquor
dealers. all would be well for every
body. but the contrary is quite the
case. The pople of the city should
know that the one concern of z. o.
Hall & Son pays more taxes on the
stock of merchandise In their store at
Fort and King streets than is paid for
all the liquor in the city. The Hall
company is by no means the largest
or wealthiest concern in the city.
There are many others with larger
stocks. for instance Hackfeld & Co.
pays FIVE times as much as is charged
against the booze. H. May & Co. pays
two-thirds as much as the liquor men
The Hollister Drug Company. about
one-half: b. F. Ehlers. about one-half.
and +. w. Jordan. one-half as much
as the entire liquor fraternity.
There were twice as many arrests
for drunkenness in 1900 as there were
in 1899. More than that proportion OF
fines imposed and paid. In 1899 there
were SCI DRINKS taken into the cooler
while during last year the number
mounted up 10 1907.
As the increase in the results of
drinking had been steady during the
past ten years the tremendous in
crease in the number of unfortunaies
who were taken in by the minions OF
High Sheriff Brown last year can only
be accounted for by the conclusion
that there was more liquor sold dur
ing last year than the year before
The matter is about to be taken up |
by the legislature and the circum-
stances surrounding the case win be |
ventilated with great deal OF free
dom. The Dispensary Act which has
been such great success in South
Carolina has been reframed and in.
troduced into the deliberations Of the
The bill has met with
much opposition and in it's present
form seems TO have attracted TO itself
about all the criticism possible. at
least from the liquor dealers.

Big Government Lottery

Ell Reno, o. T., July 27.-Promptly at
9 o'clock Monday morning the big lot
terry by which the $4,000 claims of the
Kiowa-Comanche reservation will fully
be distributed will be begun. Commits
sioner Richards, who will have charge
of the drawing, said today that about
1000 names, 500 for the El Reno district
and 500 for the Lawton district, would
be drawn from the wheels next Mon
day. This will enable persons drawing
the most valuable clans to learn quick
ly of their good fortune. About $500
names will be drawn, after which the
drawing will be done as rapidly as pos
sible. Home seekers from the different
states are electing committees to sit
on the platform to witness the drawing.
The commission will permit their pres
ence.

ties beyond per cent. (the present
figure). 1t is agreed that in case the
revenues of China are not sufficient
for the payment of interest and princi-
pal, the powers are to examine the ev-
enues and determine what changes are
necessary in order to supply the def
cheney. The imperial maritime customs
are to be included in this arrangement.
I The British minister is satisfied with
this arrangement and the whole ques-
ton of financial measures is, therefore,
settled. The 100000, 900 taels constituting
the indemnity are to be converted into
gold at the equivalent of the tael value
on the first of last April. In case the
import duties are subsequently increas-
ed, the free list will have to be abolish
ed except for cereals, but it is under
stood that compensation will in that
case be asked for, probably the finan-
cial participation, of China in improv-
ing the water approaches of Shanghai
and Tien Tsin. All the other principal
points of the negotiations are now set
tied and it is excepted that the results
will be summarized in the final pro-
tocol within two weeks and that all the
powers will become signatories.

ALABAMA CONVENTION
Opposition to Franchise Amendment
from Minority Standpoint

Montgomery, Ala, July 27.-Delegate
Pears. of st. Clair. resumed his speech
against the suffrage clause when the
constitutional convention opened this
morning. He said the ma ajority of ne
groes paid their taxes, their debts and
obeyed the law. Three fifths of the ag-
riculturaI labor of the state was done
by negroes. He contended that they
should have some voice in making the
laws and saying who shall govern.
Continuing he said:
There are 100000 negroes in this
state. Do we want to make enemies
Of these people? What becomes of our
states doctrine? Do we want to teach
500, 200 people to look more to Wash
ington for protection and justice rather
than Montgomery"
AS to the grandfather clause he said
it was not a premeditated fraud, but a
miserable makeshift. He stood with
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. the i'm
mortal spirits who stood for popular
liberty and the rights of the people.

tencia men who are not satisfied at the

said. will so cripple the Resistencia

We're killed at Erwin, Miss, recently.
The establishment OF the fact that
the victims of this affair had not been
naturalized was a condition precedent
TO whatever demands the Italian gov

matter of indemnity and the punish
ment of the offenders.
Mr.. Caragini, is now awaiting the re-
ply of the state department TO these
documents before communicating with
his home government as TO the next
step to be taken. 1t is safe to say that
the Italian government will insist
upon every effort being exhausted to
find an punish the guilty. The ques-
ton of indemnity will come UP later.
