ARMY OFFICIALS VOICE
THEIR INDIGNATION
Complain Bitterly of the ouarantinins

WASHINGTON, May Indignation
prevails in army circles over the
treatment of the transport Fitzpatrick
by the Board of Health of Honolulu.
So strong is the feeling created that
if the friends of the officers and men
on board the transport could have
their way the local Board of Health OF
Honolulu would be abolished and a
Federal quarantine would take its
place. The Fitzpatrick, which was
bound from San Francisco with $40
regulars and 40 women and children
aboard, reported at Honolulu that she
had two mild cases of smallpox
aboard She was ordered to lie out
side of the reef at the local quarantine
which is hot berth. In order to give
the men chance to breathe fresh air
and get a little exercise General San,
ger, inspector general. who was senior
officer aboard, asked permission for
the troops to disembark and go into
camp at an isolated point several
miles from the city. He agreed to
thoroughly fumigate the clothes of the
men and TO keep them under strict
guard, so as to prevent stragglers
while on the journey, and to station
double Gordon around the camp so
as TO prevent any of the men from
stealing into the city. The Honolulu

years has passed through an epidemic

older residents recalled the dreadful
mortality suffered when the smallpox
prevailed. In view of the precautions
which the army detachment agreed to
take and the further fact that the two
cases of smallpox were mild. the re
fusal of the Board Of Health to grant
permission to land is deeply regretted
in army circles and has been the sub

WASHINGTON May s-An the
coffee consumed In the United States
can be grown in the Stands which
have been acquired since the o-at-
break Of the Spanish war. This Is
the conclusion reached BIZ the Bureau
OF Statistics 0. the TeaSurv Depart
ment after 2 careful study Of the cof-
fee producing capabilities Of cur new

which coffee can be successfully
grown are Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines Porto Rican coffee. in

is regarded as the best IN the world.
and il is the conclusion OF the Bureau
of Statistics that Enen the coffee plan
tations have been developed in the
Philippines and Hawaii all OF one mil
lion dollars or more which the United
States sends abroad every week for
coffee can be expended among the in
habitants OF our own islands Porto
Rican coffee has long commanded
high prices in the European markets.
though it has been comparatively lit
tie known in the United States
The developments of coffee culture
in Hawaii during the past few years
have been very satisfactory both in
quality OF the coffee produced and the
prices realized In the Philippines
the product is of a high grade. and the.
fact that the physical conditions aud
climate of the islands are very SINH
lar TO those of Japan. the greatest cof-
fee producing island of the world,
suggests great possibilities 10 those
who desire to see American money
expended under the American flag
The fact that the United States is by
country of the world. and is steady
increasing her consumption. suggests
that American capital and energy may
turn their attention TO this promising
field now opened in the islands where
American enterprise can safely enter
upon business undertakings.
Our coffee importations during the
nine months ending with March. 1901.
amounted to 617 .344 600 pounds, with
value of s45,2IS,O00, a sum nearly
$5,000,000 in excess of the value of
the coffee imports of the same months
of the preceding fiscal year, indicating
that for the fu44 fiscal year the total
value of the coffee imported into the
United States will be about S6e ,000,-

Our coffee importations are drawn
chiefly from the following countries:
Brazil from which we imported in
nine months of the present fiscal year

COTTON MARKET.
Little Activity in SaIes-Prices De
 clIned and Recovered.

The Birmingham cotton market has been very quiet this week. Wagon re- ceipts are extremely light. amounting te less than twenty bales a day. Good mid ding declined last Saturday to S%c, and 1t remained at that figure until Wednes- day, when it dropped to SAC. Yesterday it recovered and closed at sMc.
 There Is not much unmarketed cotton in Jefferson and surrounding counties, but those farmers who have been hold ing for 10c will scarcely hold longer, for high prices are not now in sight. In oth- CT words. the receipts promise to be larger next week than they have been in the past week or two.
 Fertilizers are moving briskly. Bir- mingham merchants report an uncom- monly heavy trade. They say they have shipped 40 to 50 per cent more than they shipped up to this time last year.

WILL NOT GALL
 NEW PASTOR YET 
Resolution on Loss of pr. Gray. 0eacons of the First
 Baptist Church

At an adourned congregational meet ing of the First Baptist church held on Wednesday night, the board of deacons reported in favor of deferring for short while the matter of calling a pastor to succeed Dr. B. D. Gray, who leaves in May to assume the presidency of George town College. The deacons did not wish the church to wait until May before se- curing the services of a new pastor, but they thought 1t advisable not to proceed just at this time. Their report was agreed to.
 The question of calling a pastor will probably come up again at the next reg ular business meeting of the church, which will be held on the first Wednesday in March. By that time the deacons may be ready to advise action. In the mean time the officers and members of the church in general are discussing the names of various ministers who might be available for the high and arduous position being vacated by pr. Gray.
 The committee appointed to prepare resolutions on the resignation of pr. Gray submitted the following, which were unanimously adopted:
 ITO the First Baptist Church, Birming- ham, Ala:
 "Whereas Dr. B. D. Gray on Wednes- day night, February 13, 1901, presented to the church his resignation of the pas torate to take effect three months from date; and,
 "Whereas, He has been elected to and has accepted the presidency of George town College, Kentucky; and, whereas, said resignation was accepted by the church; and,
 "Whereas, a committee was appointed to draft and present to an adjourned church meeting on Wednesday night, February 20 resolutions embody1ng the feeling of the church at the initial stage of the coming separation of pastor and people, your committee begs to submit the following resolutions and to recommend their adoption:
 Resolved, Q) That during his pastor ate of nearly eight years, pr. B. D. Gray has faithfullyperformed the duties of his office, not only rightly dividing the word of truth and clearly pointing out to us both our privileges and duties, but ex- employing by his consistent walk and conversation both privilege and duty in his daily. life With him precept and practice have gone hand in hand and both have been exerted to elevate the character, to strengthen the faith and to quicken the zeal of our membership "2 That in accepting the resignation of our pastor we do so with regret.
 "3 That we heartily wish him every success in his new field of labor and commend him to the confidence and con- sideration of the brethren with whom his duties shall bring him into contact.
 "A. That we pray Gods richest bless ings may accompany him and his family in their new sphere of work and infiu-

COL. J. E. B. JACKSON TALKS OF THE ROADS Hears That a Bill Has Passed
 the Legislature MAKING RADICAL CHANGES County To Be Divided Into Ten Road pstrcts-Board of Revenue To Appoint and Pay the Super
 lntenoents.
MAKING RADICAL CHANGES

Col. J. P. B. Jackson. supervisor of pub lie roads of Jefferson County, who has made a strong fight against the proposed measure to divert portion of the road fund to the general fund of the county to offset the deficiency existing in the fund, in an interview yesterday said that he had been informed that bill had been passed by the Legislature, changing in measure the road system of the county and intimated that secrecy regarding 1t was being maintained by interested par ties.
 In discussing the question of roads, Col. Jackson said:
 'T understand bill has been introduced in the Legislature and passed by both houses, which provides for redistricting the county into ten road districts Tho board of revenue Is to appoint the super intendents in each district and to allow them such money as they see fit to keep the roads in condition and to build new ones if they can. l am speaking from hearsay, however, as I have been unable to see copy of the bill.
 "I was in Montgomery on the sth and 9th of this month, and saw Senator Nor row and MT. Benners. They told me the only bill pending affecting the roads of Jefferson County was a bill which pro vided that whatever amount of money which might be left over from the road fund on November should go into the general fund. They showed me copy of the bill. I had gone to Montgomery to present a petition signed by 1.o00 of the citizens of this county, asking that no legislation be passed which would effect the roads of the county disadvantag- eously.
 'As I say I have been unable to get copy Of the present bill, and speak from hearsay. 1 called on the president of the Board of Revenue this week and asked to see copy of the bill. Captan Tarrant told me he had copy but could not put his hand on it just then. I have seen nothing about this bill in any of the pa pers, and mention the fact of it's pas sage, as I believe every citizen in the county is interested in keeping up the condition of the roads and should be kept advised as to what Is being done"
 Following is the petition which received Il ,000 signatures:
 We, the undersigned citizens of Jeffer- son County, hereby petition our Honora- ble Senator and Representatives not to pass any bill that will authorize the Board of Revenue to transfer either the bridge fund or 10 cent found to the general fund We wish the law to stand Just as 1t is
 The pride of our county is our good rIo1a and we protest against any move looking to a reduction in the amount of road and bridge revenue. The average citizen receives but little benefit from taxation outside of schools and roads and should be protected in these important matters.

Proposed Removal of Hardle-Tynes.
 MT. Dawson Talks.

At a meeting of the board of direct ors of the Commercial Club yesterday morning, which had been called for the purpose of further discussing the pro- posed removal of the Hardie-Tynes foundry to Memphis, James Bowron, vice president and treasurer of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, stated that the furnace com panies did not charge Birmingham consumers of pig iron higher price than outside consumers had to pay. His remarks were in line with the statement made by President Baxter of the same company, and which was published in The Age-Herald of yester- day morning.
 Nothing definite has yet been de- cided as to the removal of the Hardie- Tynes plant. As stated in The Age Herald several days ago, the company has under consideration very attract i've offer from Memphis man, but it has not yet been accepted.

FATHER DE SMET.

General Grenville M. Dodge writes
thus to the editor of The CONSERVATIVES:
81 notice in an article in your paper
a reference to the books of Father De
Smet. Could Mr.. Richardson inform me
where the books published by Father
De Smet can be obtained, or give me the
name of the publishers? I have been
anxious to obtain them. In my early
explorations in the West I often ran
across his work, especially in the Indian
campaign of 1865, when we found the
remains of an old mission near the Salt
fork Of Powder river that no one
seemed to know Of, or it's history. We
were supposed to be in country that
little was known of, and I know we
made the first trails over it. I learned
that the mission was built by Father De
Smet from some of the Indians, but
could obtain no history of it; perhaps
his books might mention it. 1t was near
the head of Powder river, fifty or sixty
miles from the Big Horn range, and
should say about 100 miles north of old
Fort Fetterman, which then was on the
North fork of the Platte, about 100
miles west of old Fort Laramie"
Mr.. Richardson does not know where
Father De Smet's writings can be found,
and he is very sorry that he does not,
because he wants to buy them himself.
They are long out of print, and quite
hard to find. Perhaps somebody can tell
where copies are to be had, and some
thing about the old mission in Wyoming
of which General Dodge speaks.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN
DUSTRY.

J. Sterling Morton in the Conserva-
tive says that no American parent has
any right to rear child without teach
ing it industry. The human being, who
from infancy to maturity, is indulged in
all things asked for, makes selfish, in
considerate, and useless member Of So
ciety. Human beings who do not work,
get very little Of real honey out of life.
They are offensive and repellent. They
are in old age remorseful and unhappy
The very room they occupy on the globe
is begrudged them. Mr.. Morton has
followed his own precepts in case of his
own sons evidently, for they have all
stepped to the front rank in the COM
mercial world and that is not done in
this age without persistent hard work.
His son Paul, of the Atchison road, has
been offered, only last week, the manage
ment of the Hartman combination with
salary Of $4,000 a year. This is a
stride upward that was not possible
under conditions existing twenty-five
years ago. This, however, is an age of
colossal salaries. 1t is more that Paul's
father ever got j. Sterling Morton
once said in commenting upon his sons
success, that they had shown better
Judgment than their father, because
they had kept out Of politics and at
tended to business Ottumwa Saturday

TWO SUGGESTIONS.

Here are two suggestions from j.
Sterling Morton's CONSERVATIVE. All
the ''pop plans" ever proposed, all the
suggestions ever made by His Turbulent
Loquacity, Mr.. Bryan, would not result
in as much permanent good to the state
of Nebraska as would come through the
two ideas here offered, if they were car
ried out:
"Every twenty four hours the rail-
roads, manufacturers and home-build-
ers of the United States denude twenty
five thousand acres of timbered land.
That is, there is daily consumption of
all the wood, the trees on twenty five
thousand acres supply. How many
acres are planted? Twenty-Five.
Next Arbor day, April 20, 1909, let each
of the one hundred counties in the state
of Nebraska plant at least two-hundr I'd
and fifty acres in trees. Let there be
one day in the year in which one state
shall plant as many acres in trees as all
the states destroy. Nebraska ought to
plant twenty-five thousand acres of
timber next Arbor Day."
"The common roads of Nebraska are
sixty-s feet in width. That is an un-
necessary waste of good land and a
constant method of weed propagation.
Legislation permitting county commits
sioners to sell one-half and make all
roads in the state only thirty-three feet
in width would be beneficial. The land
money thus accumulated would make
permanent road fund. If this can
not be done, compel the planting of
trees on either side of the road until
thirty three feet is utilized for arbori-
culture. York Republican.
