NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. STEAM
ERs' NEW ROUTE.
Win Not Go by Straits Of Magellan
But Will Trans-ship over the 18TH
mus OF Panama.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 25.-A
traffic arrangement that would appear
10 be a good thing for both parties
is reported 20 be under consideration
by the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company and the Panama Railroad
Company. Since the Inauguration Of
the line a year ago the American Ha-
waiian Company's steamers on the
route connecting New York with this
port and Honolulu have been running
through the Straits OF Magellan, CALI
ing at no intermediate ports Of the
line except TO coal, and by reason Of the
long voyage piling up the expenses OF
the company to an extent that requlr-
ed unusually good management in or
der TO prove profitable.
Under the arrangement said 70 be
under negotiation the six large steam
ers of the American Hawaiian line viii
soon be plying no further south than
Panama, three running between this
port, Honolulu and Panama, the others
between the isthmus and New York,
with the Panama Railroad Company
doing all the overland business brought
TO its eighty-mile road by the great
ocean carriers. This will include the
handling Of Hawaiian sugar, for the
transportation Of which the American
Hawaiian Company has valuable con-
tracts The carrying Of this sugar is
of itself such a big item that 1t formed
one Of the principal reasons In the hrst
place for the organization Of the Amer
lean Hawaiian Steamship Company
composed mainly Of New York and san
Francisco capitalists and Honolulu
planters. Thousands Of tons or the
product are controlled by the stock
holders themselves. not TO mention the
large quantities secured as freight from
Honolulu firms.
The compact between the two com
panies would naturally result in the
Panama Railroad Company laying OF
its line Of steamers that has been ply
ing between this city and the isthmus
since the traffic arrangement with the
Pacific Mail Company expired a year
or more ago. All Of it's business could
be easily looked after by the American
Hawaiian Company, and the Panama
people would be kept busy handling the
new business that would flow in at Doth
ends of it's railroad. The arrangement,
it is pointed out, would be equally
profitable to both companies. one OF
the principal officers and stockholderA
of the American Hawaiian Company u

an arrangement Is under considera-
tiOn.

BUTLER A POPULAR IDOL
TIDE OF SENTIMENT TURNS IN
HIS FAVOR.
Claimed That He is the Victim Of the
Cecil Rhodes demonstrations
In Music Halls.

NEW YORK, October 26.-A cable to
the Sun from London says: 1t would
be impossible to exaggerate the inten-
sity of the feelings aroused by the an
nouncement on last Wednesday of Bull
ler's dismissal from command OF the
First Army Corps and his retirement
on half pay. The news of his dismissal
has brought to light a great host Of
his friends. who declare that he Is a
martyr to an intrigue second to that Of
the Dreyfus case. One of the strangest
things of this controversy Is that Bull
ler's advocates. numerous as they are,
and including as they do people of
every class, from Lord Wolseley and
many officers of the army down to the
bulk of the rank and file of the army
and practically the entire west country
peasantry, are without any weighty
support in the press in London. At the
same time 1t is recognized on all hands
that the controversy may possibly de-
Velop a serious aspect and ii VIII be al
most the first topic to demand the at
tention of both houses when. Parlia-
ment reassembles.
The seriousness with which the lead
ers of both parties regard the matter
may be judged by the fact that neither
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain nor
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman have
ventured to allude to 1t. Buffers most
angry friends declare that he Is the
victim of the Cecil Rhodes Belt party
who have forced the Government to
depose the man who has opposed and
belittled them in South Africa. Others
accuse Earl Roberts, commander in
chief of taking off the head of the
most important of the 'Wolseley
gang"
There is no question but that Buffers
friends have made him a great popular
hero. Demonstrations have been made
in the music halls. in one of which II

NOODPECkERS AL RIGHT
WASHINGTON HEARD FROM ON
THE SUBJECT.
Hawaii Would Do Well to Get a
Few OF The Birds AS An Expert
ment.

Agricultural Commissioner Wray
Taylor today received a letter from the
Department of Agriculture at Washing
ton, strongly approving of the importa-
tion of woodpeckers into Hawaii. While
the writer of the letter says he never
heard of woodpeckers doing any harm,
he thinks it well for Hawaii to go slow
at first as the woodpe ,kers introduced
into the peculiar conditions" in Ha-
wall, might develop unexpected traits,
instead of attending to business and
killing borers. The letter is addressed
to Commissioner Taylor and is as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: Your letter of October l
addressed to DR.. c. Hart Merriam is at
hand. The results of our Investigations
on the food of the downy woodpecker
thus far have shown that the bird is
decidedly beneficial. | am not aware
that this woodpecker ever does any Sc
rious damage to crops or fruit and I
know of no bird which you could in
troduce more safely.
"At the same time ii should be re-
membered that it is impossible to fore
tell with certainty what will be the re-
suit of introducing a bird amid such
peculiar conditions as exist in Hawaii.
1t is by no means certain that the
downy woodpecker will feed on the
wood borers which IL is intended TO
destroy, and it is possible that 1t may
develop some injurious traits. 1t would
be well there fore to introduce only a
limited number of the birds at first,
and liberate them If possible in some
locality on the islands where they can
be kept under observation. l assume
that your experiment will be made
with the California form of the downy
woodpecker and | shall watch the out
come with great interest
''Very truly yours,
