COMING 8ETTERMENTS.

Cheaper fuel, with all that is meant
by that advantage, is promised as one
result of the recently ended trip of B.
F. Dillingham; to the Coast. While the
immediate arrangement seems only to
include coal, and that from the Roslin
mines there is in the mind of the pro-
moter as well as in contemplation by
the plantation men of the Islands a
feeling that as soon as arrangements
can be made for the carriage of bulk
crude oil from the California fields
there will be immense advantages ac-
crue from the largely decreased cost Of
the operation of the pumps and the
mills on the various plantations.
The cost of fuel in the case of a plan
tau1n which irrigates its acres by
pumping water to high levels must be
thoroughly investigated to be appre-
ciated. 1t has been estimated that to
put water upon an acre of cane from
the time of planting until the cane is
taken off is on the average $125. This
1T will be seen at once will mean an
extremely large percentage of the cost
in the fuel supply. While the Goals of
the north are not of the highest steam
ing grade they are good enough to fur
nish steam fuel and the cost is so much
less than must be paid for. the English
Goals that it means considerable saw
ing to the corporations which use them.
The future use of oils for fuel has
been investigated fully by the sugar
men recently but the great difficulty
seems to be in the matter of the sup
ply. There is not in the western ocean
such tank ships as would guarantee a
competent supply of this economical
fuel at this port all the time, and it
would be taking too great risks for the
plantations to change their furnaces so
as to permit of using oils, without
supply on hand which would preclude
the danger of shutting down by reason
of an accident to a tank steamer The
growth of the use of oils IN the west
and southwest, where the supply of coal
must be hauled from long distances and
at great cost has been remarkable In
the city of San Francisco the street
railways are using oil and the beet SUI
gar rednerfeS are making arrange
ments for the same fuel The railways
are changing their locomotive furnaces
so as to do away with the use of coal
and the cheapness of the cost has made
a factor in the returns of any business
where the supply of fuel cuts any figure
in the general expense of operation.
1t must be but short time until there
will be solution of the fuel problem
here. and 1t must come by the introduc-
ton of oils. The recent developments
in California and Texas make it i'm
possible that there will be in the gen.
Grafton any material advance in the
cost to the consumer and with the saw
ing which will be effected will add ma
terially to the profitableness of various
ventures in the Islands. In fact, should
there be secured a fair supply of cheap
fuel for this country 1t would do more
for the introduction of varied industries
than would any other single thing. With
cheaper fuel there would be no question
of the building of sugar reflneries and
soon would follow several kinds Of man
ufacturing industries.

GREAT SURPLUS
IN THE TREASURY
Receipts Over Seventy.Seven Mil
lions Dollars Above Expen-
ditures Last Year.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-With the
present week the fiscal year Of the Gov
eminent closes, and Uncle Sam will close
set of books showing the most pros
ury statement to be issued next week
when all the figures are in, will show
that during the fiscal year. which ends
on Saturday night, the receipts of the
Government have exceeded the expendi-
lures by about SIT, 900. This snowing
two years after a foreign war and while
the expensive results of that war were
still in evidence, is believed to be I'M
equaled in the financial history of any
nation.
The Treasury balance sheet will show
receipts of about $5S7, 900, 900 and expendi-
lures of 500, 100000. The repeal Of certain
portions of the war revenue act will cost
the Government about s40.000,000 annual
ly so that next year the surplus will not
be over $35, 100000.
While the Treasury Is already gloaunS
over its successful record for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1901, the Administra-
ton is prepared to shout still more over
the marvellous development of the foreign
trade of the United States. The figures
will show a balance of trade in favor of
the United States of about S675, COG, 600. or
about s145O 600 more than for the pre-
vious year No matter how the balance
may be liquidated, this little matter of
two-thirds of a billion of dollars will be
on the right side of Uncle Sans ledger
Saturday afternoon.

skagway Flag Incident.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The State
Department has not received any rep
Eesentation concerning the flag incident
at Skagway, where much excitement is
said to have been caused by the hauling
down of a, British customs ensign raised
at that point. Based on the press re-
ports of the affair the officials do not at
tach serious Importance to the incident
itself, although it is recognized that the
matter might assume Importance if the
raising of the flag was an assertion of
British sovereignty over that locality.
In that event there is no doubt that the
State Department would take cogniZance
of the matter But as 1t stands. the flag
appears to be that of the customs Office
for the convenience of designating
where customs may be paid.

Tricks Of the Chinese.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 29.-Judge C.
H. Hanford of the Federal Court has
handed down a decision of a habeas
pointed comments on the past methods
of bringing in Chinese aliens as Ameri-
can born Chinese. The court stated that
it believed American witnesses had been
bought to testify falsely as to alien Chi
nese having been born in Seattle and
stated that hereafter he would consider
that all Chinese born in Seattle prior TO
1890, who had gone to China had come
back. lie proposes to let no more chi
nese on this claim. 1t is alleged that a
regular system has existed in this city
of hiring white men to swear that alien
Chinese are known to them as having
been born in Seattle.

CAUGHT

The chief of the conspirators stands
| exposed in all the nakedness of dis
avowed and unholy mission, trying to
| hide behind an allegation that he did
not say it,"
| After the arrival in San Francisco OF
| the man of whom it was said by his
| former co-laborers in the Legislature
| that he had gone to the Mainland in
the interest of the scheme for the an
nexation of these Islands to California,
there appeared in the Chronicle of that
| city an interview which attributed to
him certain utterances which were en-
| tirely in line with his interviews ana
| editorials here. There were more eX-
plicit declarations, however, and by the
same mail which brought the papers
containing the statement to this city
came a denial of the authenticity of the
| interview and the insinuation that the
article had been prepared here.
| 1t is this allegation which draws out
the complete history Of the conspiracy
and the tracing of it to its head and
| front. There can be no question
| of the familiarity of the cry OF
city and county government which
recurs in both the authorized state
ments and that which bears the
brand of the branded one. There
Is the same plant of the need
of the stable government which would
come from the annexation to an old
State and the undignifed public critl-
cism of men who like himself are eXer-
cising functions under commission de-
rived from the President of the United
States All these have so distinguished
the man who utters them that there
will be many people who will read the
interview to which he transfers his
brand without being able to see why it
should not be attributed to him. Can
it be that association with his own
publication has made him believe that
all daily newspapers are venal?
Insinuations that there is plot to
have printed in the United States inter
views which have not taken place, for
the purpose of injuring the jurist, are
unjust to the men, the members of the
Hawaiian Bar Association which in
dicted him and decided to move for his
removal. They have been his neighbors
for several years and they must know
that with an organ here to print his
views and eager journalists to reprint
his screeds against the Territorial au-
thorities when uttered in the United
States, they cannot do better than to
allow him to have full swing. A con-
tinuation of the policy now being fol-
lowed will result in losing for him all
the friends which he might have held
through their interest in any man who
came from Hawaii.
There seems little to be said in addi
ton to the evidence. The verdict will
be rendered by the people who will read
and think out the problem for them
selves without any bias. It may be said
with confidence, however, that the con-
spiracy, which could not stand the light
of day will not live long enough to give
any trouble to the people of this the
newest Territory of our country.

The Kings Oath.

LONDON, June 29.-The report of the
select committee of the House of Lords
appointed to consider the accession
declaration of the sovereign, in regard
to transubstantiation, finds that the lam
guage can be advantageously modified
without diminishing it's efficacy as Sc
curity for the maintenance of the Prot
estant succession. The form of declara-
ton suggested by the committee does
not contain phrases relative to idolatry,
etc, which are so Objectionable to Roman
Catholics.

Humphreys has an easy way OF deny
ing any statement that hurts him and
he does not hesitate, on occasion, to lie
glibly from the bench. His latest de-
nial affects the veracity of the San
Francisco Chronicle, whose staff repre-
sentative went with him from Homo
lulu to San Francisco and doubtless re-
ported precisely what he said. Seeing
the story in cold type got on Hum
phreys' nerves and his first thought was
to deny it. But denial in face of his
reputation for faIsehood, of the reputa-
ton of the Chronicle for yeracity and
of the circumstantial and other evidence
against him in regard to the annexa-
ton scheme, counts for nothing. We
shall probably hear something more
under this head when the Chronicle
learns that the disgraced and repudiat-
ed Judge is trying to save his own
worthless neck at the expense of the

Humphreys admits that he talked up
county annexation in the Examiner,
using the language repeated elsewhere.
We hope the Home Rulers viii enjoy

of thing and then. giving them no
warning. slipped away to California to
urge that Hawaii be annexed to that
State. Little did he care If the few
thousand Hawaiian votes were sub
merged in the 300 900 California votes
providing he could break into Califor-
mia politics before he was forty" The
Hawaiians never had a meaner stab
than that.

We predict a marked increase in the
cases of seamen VS.. shippers in the Fed
eral courts Generally, the world over,
admiralty courts do not lay great stress
on the complaints of sailors regarding
i'll treatment at sea. In most of them
the testimony of such men is looked up
on with suspicion, it being generally
believed that the fo'castle testifies
against the cabin on general principles
and without much regard to facts. Ho-
nolulu is now looked upon as a haven
of redress for the foremost hand with
a grievance and if the Federal calendar
does not smell of tar and bilgewater
before the year is out then all nautical
signs fail in dry weather.

The death of Joseph COX. the great
scientific theologian. recalls the fact
that he was the center of an interesting
event in Honolulu in 1895. Mr.. Cook was
invited to speak in the drill shed and
did SO, taking as his theme Tropic Re
publics. Minister Willis presided. In
the course of his address Mr.. Cook Sc
verely criticised Cleveland's policy in
Hawaii which Minister Willis had been
sent here to carry out, and was called
to order by the chairman, who said that
the occasion, which was July 4th, was
one for patriotism and not for politics.
The audience, though not in sympathy
with Cleveland, sided with Minister
Willis and greeted his remarks with
cheers. There was a sharp colloquy be-
tween Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Willis, after
which the former left the hall Shortly
thereafter the great Bostonian began
to show symptoms of the nervous dis
ease to which he finally succumbed.

Bostock, the Animal King.

Undoubtedly the greatest attrac-
tion OF the entire Pan American Expo
sition Is that OF the great Bostock Wild
Animal Arena: it is truly one of the
marvels of the twentieth century. The
wonderful fcats OF wild animal subjuga-
tion shown there are nothing short Of
miraculous AS one passes into the
auditorium OF the massive structure
wherein nearly thousand specimens Of
the denzens of forest and plain, Jungle
and mountain are Gagged, one imaglnes
himself transported suddenly into a
symposium consisting OF every lati-
tude OF the world Here he finds rep
resented every animal from the friendly
dog and timid squirrel to the ferocious
lion and man-eating tiger
Unlike most travelling menageries,
the animals in the Bostock Show are in
perfect condition. No scrawny, ill-kept
beasts are there. All are worthy rep
resentatives of their specie. Owing to
new and powerful disinfectant used in
the auditorium, no offensive odor, gen.
orally so noticeable where there is a
collection of animals, is to be found.
Probably the most wonderful of the
many wonderful performances given in
the massive steel arena (which, by the
way, is 10 feet in diameter) is that of
Captain Bonavita, who enters this steel
barred stage with % full grown forest
bred male African lions, and puts them
through a series of groupings and feats
that are awe-inspring and thrilling to
an extreme. This act is conceded by all
who have been so fortunate as to see it,
to be the acme of lion training, far SUI
perseding and surprising anything Of
the kind ever before attempted.
One notable feature about the Bostock
show is that one price of admission adj
mits the visitor to the entire exhibition.
There are no after charges, so annoying
to the patrons Of the Midway. Mr..
Bostock is to be congratulated on this
'just" arrangement.
