THE British Chancellor of ,

The British Chancellor of the
Exchequer admits that the Boer
war has drought the country
to the verge of ruin,'' - but, as he
said, this is a fact which needs
no official confirmation. He
stated that "this small war has
cost s151, ,OOO,O O"-S75o, 100000
which is enough to bring any
country to "the verge of ruin,
as the State says.

Dear Sir: Recurring to the views

personal conference, which We had the
honor, to hold with you yesterday, in
regard to the political complications
which have grown out Of the late can

We have reached, after mature delib'

which We have been able to bestoW
upon the subject.

Mr.. Beckley of the House was one OF
the most forceful speakers Of the even
ing. He also blamed the Republicans
as the ones who had INSTRUCTED legis-
lation and created the present state Of
affairs. Then he referred to the Loan
bill which had come down from the
Senate. saying that he had purposely
withheld 1t from the House for a pur-
pose. He then spoke Of the accusation
Against the Independents to the effect
that they had wasted the money OF the
public. He pointed to the drill shed
and - i'd he had drilled there for long
time. When 1t came to wasting money,
1t was at the military that the Legis-
lature could point an accusing finger.
Mr.. Puuki of the House advised al!
those concerned to go home and pray
to the Lord for what they wished to ac-
complish Just as Daniel did in the lions
den.
The speeches were concluded by Del
| cgate Wilcox who said that an extern
sion of the session was absolutely ne
cessary. There were important bills
| such the Municipal Loan ana Appro-
priation bills which should be passed.
He urged the adoption Of the resolution
which was to be presented to them
saying that. in case the government
should refuse to grant the prayer Of
the people they had done their part.
The people at Washington were watch
ing and would have something to say
later on.
Mr.. r. \. Boyd then arose. read the
resolution asking the Governor for an
extension. and then called for three
cheers by all those who favored the
adoption Of the resolution. There was
ringing cheer that could have been
heard for blocks and then the meeting
adjourned.

Loan Bill--Delegate Wilcox
Speaks.

The mass meeting on the parade
grounds in front of the drill shed Sat-
urday night was attended by very
large crowd. Il Is estimated that near
ly a thousand were present. The OBJ
ject Of the meeting was the consider
ntion OF resolution looking toward
the extension of the present session Of
the Legislature for the purpose OF
completing important work. The rcl-
sons for asking Governor Dole fnr an
extension, were very forcibly prrso~ Cd
by speakers from the Senate and HOUSE
OF Representatives.
Mr.. Kalauokalani who presided at
the meeting, was the first to speak.
His remarks were listened to with
great interest. In the beginning OF his
speech. he lifted a great mass OF bills.
In his hands and showed these to the
people as representing a part OF the
work that had been done during the
session. The Independents had not
wasted the time as had been accused
Their promises to the people had been
fulfilled. In order to complete the work
of the session. there should DO an ex-
tension. Fifteen days would be plenty
enough. A great mass Of work was all
but completed and. TO choke everything
off at this stage. would mean nothing
short of disaster. The Governor wa.
unjust. Both the Senate and Hous,
had asked for an extension OF the SEES
sion. Since he had persisted in refus
ing. the only way left was to appeal L
the people.

Look at the disasters epidemic.
speak not of the plague In the fourth
century that ravaged Europe and In
Moscow and the Neapolltan dominions
and Marsellles wrought such terror In
the eighteenth century, but look at
the yellow fevers and the cboleras and
the diphtherias and the scarlet fevers
and the typholds OF our time. From
Hurdwar. India. where every twelfth
year 100000 devotees congregate. the
caravans brought the cholera. and that
one disease slew $4,000 In eighteen
DAYS in Bossorah. Twelve thousand In
one summer slain by 1t In India ana
25.O0O In Egypt. Disasters epidemic.
Some of the finest monuments In Green
wood and Laurel Hill and Mount Au-
burn are to doctors who lost their lives
battling with southern epidemic.
But now turn the leaf In my sub
iect. and plant the white lilies and
the palm tree amid the Magistrates
and the myrtle. This age no more
chara cterizcd by wonders Of disaster
than by wonders Of Distinguishing
Of longevity: the average Of human life
rapidly increasing. Forty years now
worth 400 years once Now can trav-
el from Manitoba to New York In less
than three days In other times II
would have taken three months In
other words three days now are worth
! three months Of other days. The aver
age of human life practically greater
now than when Noah lived. with his
$50 years. and Methuselah lived his
969 years.
