Singular Express Consignment.

The most singular consignment by
express in the history Of the American
Express company passed through Ter
re Haute, Ind, over the Big Four
railroad. 1t consisted of two CARROTS
Of brick from st. Louis to Augusta,
Me-, being consigned to Governor Hill
of Maine. The charges on one car
were $700 and on the other 81, 225,
making an aggregate express bill OF
$1,925. The aggregate weight was
5000 pounds. The emergency which
forced the shipment by express was
that contractor doing some work
for the governor was in need of GER
tain kind Of brick specified in the COM
tract and was unable to secure them
at a market nearer than st. Louis.
The specified time III which the con-.
tractor is to complete the work made
it dangerous for the contractor to take
the chances Of delay incident to such
long shipments BY freight.

NEWS OF THE WEEK &
soHIEy scouRT OF INQUIRY.

The long ordeal to which Admira

| Wednesday, afternoon when his cross
examinati0n was concluded and he
] was allowed to leave the witness
stand. When the judge advocate
finished the cross9examination the
| court propcunded to the admiral "a
questions prepared by the members OF
| the court. These questions touched
| many points of the campaign of the
flying squadron. but mainly centered
about; the difficulties encountered in
coaling and the reasons for the ret
rograde movement. Not one OF them
related to the battle of Santiago The
Judge advocates cross-examination on
the last day covered the retrograde
movement, the reconnaissance Of May
81, the loop of the Brooklyn and the
alleged colloQuy with Lieutenant
Hodgson about the Texas.
In the naval court Of inquiry Thurs
day number Of witnesses were in tro-
duced by Judge Advocate Lemly to
testify in rebuttal Of the evidence CIV
en- in Admiral Schley's behalf. The
court decided early in the day that no
witnesses could be introduced at this
stage of the proceedings to give testi-
mony on immaterial points. This an
nouncement had the effect of rel1ev-
ing Lieutenant Commander Grant,
Lieutenant Commander Potts and 9TH
er officers of the Massachusetts, who
had been called to testify concerning
a conversation with Lieutenant Sears,
which is said to have occurred on he
Massachusetts just before the recon
noissance of May 81. The witnesses
called in rebuttal were Captain
Charles D. Sigsbee, Captain Francis
E. Chadwick, Captain Joseph G..
Eaton, Lieutenant John H. Roys and
Chief Quart ermaster Neil Anderson,
all OF whom testified to Incidents con-
nected with the campaign OF 1898.

spondent, was the only new witness
called, and he denied the story told
by Correspondent Graham, a witness
for Schley. Lieutenant Hood and a
number Of other officers we're on the
stand to correct their testimony.
The Schley court of inquiry reached
the argument stage at the beginning
of the afternoon session Monday. The
morning sitting was devoted to listen
ing to Admiral Schley and Captain
Sigsbee in making corrections of their
testimony which had been given pre-
viously and the introduction by Judge
Lemly of numerous docu-
ments bearing upon different phases
of the inquiry. Admiral Schley did
not make any material additions to his
previous statements, but devoted him
self largely to the clearing up of am
oiguous points in his evidence. The
opening speech of the argument in the
case was made in behalf Of the gov
by Mr.. E. P, Hanna, assistant
% the judge advocate. He began his
presentation of the case few minutes
after the court convened at 2 o'clock
Ind when the court adjourned he had
Tot covered more than half of the |
ground involved in the controversy.

A COLOSSAL ENTERPRISE.

seven Mile tunnel to Obv1ate Fla.
nous Horseshoe Curve.
The most colossal enterprise yet IN
dertaken in modern American railroad
ing is to sacrifice the great horseshoe
curve of the Pennsylvania Railway
company on it's main line along the AL
leghany mountains Eve miles west Of
Altoona, Pa, says dispatch from that
place, by constructing an underground
tunnel seven miles inlength.
It will only be surpassed In distance
by the famous st. Gothard hole be-
tween the Alps in Switzerland. The
tunnel will begin at a point few rods
below the curve and come out of the
mountain short distance beyond
Cresson, a summer resort. The length
would approximate seven miles The
distance between Kittanning point,
where the curve is located, and Cres-
son over the present line is about ten
miles. The tunnel will save at least
three minutes, to say nothing of the
steep grades and sharp curves to be
eliminated.
1t Is expected the cost will run into
the millions. For years 1t has been
said that the horseshoe curve would
have to be abandoned on account Of
the growing demands for shorter and
less precipitate line for faster travel
between the east and the west, but it
was presumed a fill would be made so
that the road might cross the gorge be-
low the two big reservoirs there which
supply Altoona with water.

While IL is dubious proposition as
TO the establishing of a sugar refinery
on the Islands, still It Is one of the pos
sibilties of the future that every sugar
mill on the Islands will eventually refine
its own sugar, No method for doing this
cheaply and successfully has yet been
discovered. but 1t is an inviting field for
investigation and experiment Nor should
il be left for outsiders TO make the dis
Covery. At present the planters tax
themselves twenty-five cents per ton on
the sugar production of the Islands for
the purpose of maintaining an expert
ment station at Honolulu, to investigate
varieties of cane and cognate' subjects
They should go a step further and tax
sugar another twenty-five cents per ton,
the proceeds to be used to pay the salary
OF an expert who could devote his whole
time and talent to discovering a method
OF refining sugar cheaply, at the time
and place OF Its manufacture. Maui

TESTS OF ISLAND

Mr.. Sedgwick began these expert

assistant to Jared Smith Of the Gov

The above outline is in brief the opin-
ion of the Supreme Court made yester-
day in the habeas corpus cases OF the
alleged Illegally convicted prisoners. and
in the case Of Frank Pahia, sent to jail
indefinitely upon a charge of contempt.
In all these cases a dissenting opinion
Is filed by Judge Galbraith, and In all
of them Judge Gear is overruled
The next move Is an application TO
Judge Estee in the habeas corpus cases
for new writ on the ground that their
Imprisonment Is unconstitutional and
the case consequently comes within the
jurisdiction Of the United States District
Court.
The decisions are given In the All Oi
case, and the court holds that Judge
Perry Is not disqualified, not having
considered that case, and in the remain
ing cases because habeas corpus Is an
entirely new proceeding.
The court bases its opinion upon the
Peacock and Edwards cases which 1t is
contended were sustained by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States in the
insmar cases. upon the points raised in
the present case
The opinion in the All OF case is
written by Chief Justice Frear and con-
tains twenty-five typewritten pages.
The dissenting opinion by Judge Gal
braith is almost as lengthy. and he not
only dissents but says that the major
ity had no legal right to render a YER
diet in these cases because Of the dis
qualification of Judge Perry.
All OF is esrving ten years sentence
for burglary. He had been convicted
by verdict signed by ten Jurors, and

that the provisions of the Hawaiian
law which had been in force for sixty
years were rendered invalid upon the
