Postmaster Van Cott Of New York was
in Washington today in conference with
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Tay-
lor regarding the project Of the under
ground rapid transit road, which is to run
under the New York post Office building
Mr. Van Cott, who is custodian of the
building, said there was no disposition to
block the rapid transit system, but that
the communication received by him was
a peremptory notice to clear the vaults of
the building so that the tunnel might pass
through, instead of request for permis-
sion for such steps. He says the road
must first ask permission of the govern
ment, explaining exactly what portion Of
the ground is needed, and that then the
matter will be referred by him to the Sec
retary of the Treasury. The latter's ap-
proval must be obtained before further
steps are taken. Mr.. Van Cott returned
to New York today.

{. H. NORTON
IS BACK

Mr g. w. ". Norton who IL well
known and popular In Honolulu society
ana prominent IN commercial circles as
well. returned 10 the Islands via the
china from New York whore be has
been IN the Interests Of the McBrydo Su-
gar Company for the past four months,
MIR. Norton left Honolulu In December
Of last year, originally intending TO pro-
coed TO London, there to place a large
amount or McBryde stock. but when he
arrived In New York his proposition was
so fnvorably received by capitalists that
he decided to forego the trip TO London.
when interviewed last night by n rep
resentative of the Advertiser Mr. Nor
ton expressed himself as being very
much pleased to be in the Islands again.
although his trip has been a very pleas
ant and successful one.
And I am doubly pleased" said he,
because I am able to report so favor
ably for the interests OF Hawaii in tho
metropolis. The project I had in hand
was OF Importance to all Hawaii. COM
mercially speaking, as well as to private
individuals and concerns. I am glad.
therefore, that the prospects are as en-
couraging as I have reason to believe
they are"
When asked for any particulars which
he might be at liberty to give in regard
to the matter, Mr.. Norton said
LAS matters now stand nothing def
mite can be given out. When I arrived
In New York. capitalists who have very
large interests in the Hawaiian Islands
met my proposition with favor, and they
are much interested in the project; 1t
now remains with the plantation people
actively interested in the consummation
of the deal, to successfully carry It
through. While I was in New York
prominent San Francisco capitalists ap-
preached me and expressed great inter-
est in the matter. They will do all in
their power to help the project along
The whole situation is exceedingly en-
couraging, but as things now stand the
matter is in allegiance. and until there
are further developments nothing more
definite can be said. Large bodies move
slowly, and one cannot expect much
hurry in the contamination of a gigan-
tic enterprise of this kind. Millions of
dollars are involved, and I myself rep
resent only very small cog in wheel
of an immense mechanism.
within few months there will
probably be great developments"
Mr.. Norton is associated with the Oahu
Railroad Company and will Immediately
resume his former position in local COM
mercial circles. His popularity in social
circles insures him warm welcome
upon his return to society also.

DILLINGHAM; TALKS.

The San Francisco Post of April 16,
contains long interview with b. +.
Dillingham; on Hawaiian stocks and
sugars, with especial reference to Ha-
walian Commercial. II says:
II went over to the plantation last
month in company with ii. p. Baldwin
and Superintendent Lowrie," said Dill
bingham, land, among other things,
saw the new mill. now in course OF
construction, with capacity for grind
ing $50 tons of sugar daily. which will
be ultimately increased to 500 tons ev-
cry twenty-four hours. On the Ha-
waiian Commercial, as in most others,
the unsatisfactory condition OF the Ia
Dor market since annexation, has re-
tarded progress, but now that matters
In this regard are gradually improving,
the expectations for steadily increas-
ing output of sugar promises to be re-
allied. From the Hawaiian plantation
between 10000 and $4,000 tons OF su-
gar are probable this season; next year
there should be from $4,000 TO $4,000
tons, and In 1908. 10000 tons"
Allowing S32 profit n ton on the low
est estimate OF 10000 tons 1t would be
se40.0 900 Next season, with only $4,000
tons fairly estimated. and with the
same profit. II would be $4,000
by the season OF ieoi-Ob. with enough
labor. I think $4,000 and possibly 10000
tons of sugar win be produced by the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany and with every prospect that In
three or four years more II VIII attain
$1,000 20 possibly 10000 tons"

D0AN'S BACkEGHE KIDNEY PILLS.
Which is Better To Try an Experiment, of
PiOdt By Honolulu Citizens
Experience

Something new Is an experiment.
Must be proven tc be as represented
Be successful at home or you doubt
it.
The manufacturers statement Is not
convincing proof Of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now, supposlng you had weak
back.
A lame. or aching one.
Would you experiment on it ?
You will read of many so-called
cures,
But they come from rar-away places.
It's different when the endorsement
comes from home.
Always remember,
Home endorsement is the proof that
backs every box of Doan's Backachs
Kidney Pills.
Mr.. H. S. Swinton, Of this city. says:
81 was long sufferer from backache,
having been afflicted with II for twelve
years. Taking this as symptom Of
kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills advertised as
being good for complaints such as
mine, l procured some of them at the
IlOlllSleT l)luS W. SIDic. louuu up
on taking them that they were doing
me good, and was thereby encouraged
to keep on until now | am cured of the
backache. The merits of Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills have been striking
ly shown in my case, and recommend
them to other sufferers.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills al
ways have the picture of leaf on the
wrapper In asking for Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills ask for the kind
which cured Mr.. Swinton. and see that
the leaf Is on the wrapper.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at so cents per box, six boxes $3.50. or
will be mailed on receipt of price by
the HOLSTER Drug Co., Honolulu,

CHINESE EMPRESS
PALACE BURNED

: PEKING, April 1.-THE palace of the
Empress, inha bited by Count Won Wal
dersee and his staff, was burned TO the
ground to-day. Major General Schwartz
zenkcp. Count Won Waldersee's chief of
staff, has disappeared. With the ex-
ception of the military papers every
thing was destroyed.
BERLIN, April ia dispatch from
Picking says that Count Won Waldersee
escaped from the burning palace of the
Empress, which was destroyed by fire
yesterday, through a window with
great difficulty. Major General
Schwartzenkop, Count Won Waldersee's
chief of staff, appears to have lost his
life by returning to the burning build
ing after having escaped from it. In
cendiarism is suspected.
POSSIBILITIES TO BE RESUMED.
LONDON, April 1S.-The Standard
publishes the following dispatch from
Tien-tsin: The report is confirmed that
the Chinese have destroyed a portion
of the railway beyond Pao-ting Flu.
The Chinese assert that General Ma
has resolved to recOmmence hostilities
under the impression that the allied
commanders are preparing to send an
expedition against Singan-fu from the
South.
EARL LIS DUPLICITY.
PEKING, April IA missionary
named Killle (Kelly, Presbyterian mis-
sionary0 has returned from Sanho,
where Christians We're burned to death
in December. Killie reports to General
Chaffee that some time ago several of
his converts We're killed. He had the
guilty persons tried in the Chinese
courts, where they We're convicted and
sentenced to death, subject to Ii Hung
Changes signature. Killie came to Pc
king and saw Ii Hung Chang, who said
the men should be executed Immediate
ly.
Upon going to Sanho three weeks
later the missionary found the men
alive. He spoke to a judge of the Chi
nese courts on the matter, who there
upon showed him letter from Ii Hung
Chang giving implicit instructions that
the men must not be executed, as they
had only been convicted on the test
mony of Christians. consequently the
evidence was untrustworthy,
Killle has a copy OF this letter.
In the meantime the French had
proved the same men guilty OF incen-
darism and other outrages. and de-
their execution. whereupon the
Judge again showed his orders from Ii
Hung Chang. The French authorities
replied that II the men were not exc
cuted within eight days they would
take the law into their own hands and

AN OLD DELAWAREAN
John R. First Comes Back to His Native
State ON q Visit

only long enough to meet a few of his
relatives. In his rs years of life Mr..
First has never suffered from sickness
and has not spent s. for medicine OF
doctors fees. At one time he suffered
with a broken leg, which laid him up
for several weeks. Beyond that he
never has been i'll. He is a nephew OF
