How could We have conducted an en-
terprise more intelligently than We have
this one? We have had the advantage
of advice from innumerable experts from
Ceylon and elsewhere, who have told
US that We knew nothing about coffee
culture.
We have consulted together in our fire.

Association, and have followed all the

the best OF machinery put up by the local
house OF Hackfeld and Company, and

ton. We have tried all methods. and in

ONLY
WAS MEANT

a ' HIEF JUSTICE FREAR says the
intention of the trainers of the
~ Organic Act, in making the
clause providing that the proceedings
OF the Legislature should De In Eng
fish, was that English should be the
only language spoken. In an interview
yesterday, Chief Justic Frear, who
was member of the Hawaiian Com
mission which drew the Act, said:
The Organic Act had the old Con-
stitution of the Republic as d basis
We went over ii section by section,
adopted here, amended theEe, and in
places incorporated new sections
When the matter of the qualifications
of Legislators was being considered, a
member of the commission offered the
section in regard to the use OF Eng
lish. The section was intended TO pro-
vide for qualification for members
of the Legislature. Already il had
been provided as a qualification of
voters that they be able 10 read and
write English or Hawaiian. The idea
OF the commission was tnat members
of the Legislature should be better
equipped mentally than the general run
of voters and should be able to read
and write English Understandings.
Providing that proceedings should be
In English was a practical enforce
ment OF this idea, or was so intended
to be, as | understand II.
1T will b. remembered that one sec
tion of the Organic Act provides that
the session OF the Legislature should
be sixty days in length. In the old
Constitution the term was nxed at
ninety days, II was reduced by the
commission with the idea that as there
would be no interpreting In the Houses
not nearly so much time would be ia
ken up. Had II been the intention OF
the commission that two languages
should be used In the Legislature, I
am sure the term would have been left
as II was In the Constitution, or at
ninety days
There was little discussion In the
commission In regard TO the section,
II seemed 10 be readily agreed. with
out much argument, that the qualih-
cations Of Legislators should be above
that ~ the ordinary voter. Congress
evidently looked at the matter In the
same way for IL passed the section
without amendment"

Inaccuracy of Battle Losses.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The COM
municatiOn Of II. Warren Phelps, in The
National Tribune of Oct. 81, relative to in
correct account in detail of battles fought,
calls to mind some reports concerning the
battle of Baton Rouge, La, fought Aug
5, 1862 The combatants in this battle
numbered about $500 on each side; yet,
in reporting, each declared they were Op-
posed by force as large again as their
own. Concerning the losses, to show how
reports will vary, Schmucker in his his
tory, gives the loss of the Union troops
as $50 killed and 600 wounded. f. V.
Greene, in his report, says so killed and
80 wounded. Greeley, in the American
Conflict, says from 300 to 800. Schmucker
says the Confederate loss was greater than
the Union. Greene says the Confederate
loss was 81 killed, 301 wounded. and 56
missins-tOtaI loss, All. Greeley says
the Confederate loss was from 800 to 400.
Another author says the Union loss was
$50 killed, wounded, and missing, and the
Confederate loss in killed, wounded. and
missing 600. Harpers Illustrated History
says the Union loss was 80 killed, 80
wounded, and that the Confederate loss
was about 700. Col. Walter 5. Payne
says the Union loss was 73 killed, wound
ed. and missing, and the Confederate loss
400 LOSING, in his history, says the
Union loss was 50 killed, 255 wounded, and
"a missing: the Confederate loss not
known. Pollard, in the Lost Cause" says
the Confederate loss was 4G7. Gen. But
ler in Il general order issued Aug. 8, 1862,
says the Confederate loss was more than
900 killed and wounded.-W. b. HAR-

some of the enemy's shells which went
over the battery fell among the men, and
when Gen. Custer came back after the
