Appeals to His Constituency by Muto-
cope and PhonOgraph.

PARIS, March Count Boni de Castel-
lane. who has been detained in Paris
awaiting an interesting event, has adopted
an ingenious method of keeping himself
before his constituents. He has placed
photographs in all the villages of the
Bases Alpes which represent the Cham
Der Of Deputies. while monographs de-
liver to the admiring rustics the nation
alist speech which Count Boni's secre-
tary prepared and which Count Boni de-
livered when he hoped to overthrow the
Government but, alas, the Government
still lives There are also cinemato-
srapic views of the count and countess
home life exhibited In these villages, and
the voters stand agape at the luxury of
Count Boni's home. Postals bearing Count
Boni's Photograph and excerpts from his
speeches are scattered broadcast. Count
Boni is the first French politician to use

TONIGHTOVER
RELIEF FOR CUBA
RURAL FREE DELIVERY BILL.
Measure to Install Contract System
Special Order in House.

Under agreement reached last week the
House will today take up as a special or
der the special bill reported by the Com
mittee on Postofices and Postroads. af-
fecting the rural free delivery.
The bill proposes to change the system
from one of salary to one of contract for
the delivery of mail in the rural districts.
1t is intended to take the place of SINH
lar provision in the postoffice appropria-
ton bill. which is considered inconsistent
with the rules.
The special bill follows the form of the
clause In the appropriation bill. In addi-
tion 1t prohibits the subletting Of rural
delivery routes or - taking OF more
than one route by one person.
1t Is expected that the measure will
provoke a lively debate. which will con-
tinue for two days. A vote will doubtless
be taken either today or tomorrow. Fol-
lowing this the postoffice appropriation
bill will be taken up. and will consume
the greater portion Of the remainder of
the week.

recall an American f,wer to Americans.
Tue columbire, hoEeVer, the average Amer.
ican would recognize at once as a fsvorite
fl'wer OF bis childhood, no matter what
part of the states he came from. Its very
nams-from 'columba," dove, suggests a
mission of peace among the nations. To
botausts it is known as ''aquilegia," name
associated with the Latin 'aquila," an eagle
because of the resemblaos which its bios

their emblem in the wars of the roses, as
Scotchmen prise the well armed thistle,

tiouslJ; as Nova Scotians rtjo CO in their
f,,cer, which, Ike themselves, blooms amid
the SHOWS, and as the Japanese revere their
golden symbol of the rising sun, 50 would
the columoine recall our origin, our name
our history and our character.
"Moreover, the columbine for purposes OF
design is most suggestive. You look down
on it and yon see five-rayed s!ar-like
these on our fag-snd the blossoms are
found red, white and blue. Not only is it a
foreign flower, but its associations are alike
destitute of any national significance"
James Sturgis Pray of Boston, secretary
OF the Oolumblne Association, in letter
received here to-day, said:
"We propose to bring the subject before
congress as soon as popular enthusiasm tol

where it becomes a natural and reasonable
step. Its official adoption should come as
an expression of the will of the people, NJ

lishtd by the national convention held al
Asheville, N. O., in O,tober, 1898, and
composed of representatives from the DIFF
ferent states, which the columbine alone
among all tloaoers fulfills. The whole argu
ment against the carnation is that it does
not fulfil the following condition: First
that "the plant shall be q native of the
United States, and shall grow wild over the
greater part of its area" and, second, that
sit shall, if possibly, possess patriotic as

sociations plainly connecting it with the
best for which our country stands among the
nations of the world.
"The first OF these two conditions has
been deemed by the Asheville convention
absolutely essential, and no careful thinker
will, feel sure, gansay it. The Asheville
convention regarded the columbine as the
only fit emblem, as was evinced by the vote
taken at that time. Indeed, the columbine
is not merely the only flower which can full
fl all nine OF these fundamental conditions,
but it fulfls them so we'll that it would seem
to have been created for our purpose"

A National Flower.
The Columbine Has a New
Rival In the Carnation.
Societies Supporting Each Likely to
Be at Serious Odds Symbolic
Fitness of the Columbine for This
Country as Extolled by Its Sup
porters -Carnation Is French.

C0lumbiDe versus carnaton, as candid.
ates for the national f)wer, is likely to
form something of q botanical contest before
very long The Oolumbine Assc eiatio J.,
started some years ago in Boston with 400
members in every state of the Union, had
intended to urge congress to adopt their
favorite flower as botanical emblem. Now
friends Of the carnation have formed the
American Carnation Society, which will
meet soon in Iud'anapolis, where the car
natlsn's virus will be urged. This mo-
vemsnt has been iLdorsed by the Florists
Association of Indiana, and bill advOcat
ing adoption of the carnation as the natl
onal foWer has been drawn up by Ne
brasks congressman.
The president of the Culumbine Associa.
tion, Frederick La Roy Sargent, of Gam
bridge, Mass, formerly an instructor in bo
tAny at Harvard and at the University of
Wisconsin, said to-day ei the columbine's
claims:
"What makes the rosa Of England, the
thistle of Scotland, the may f>wer of Nova
Scotia and the chrysanthemum of Japan so
appropriate as emblems of those countries
Way, each is native to the country it re-
presents, lui it is the will rose and the wild

the royal coat of arms.
"The carnation must always lack for us

NO MEAT
ALAMEDA DELAYED ON ACCOUNT
OF HER REFRIGERATOR.
Apparatus Broke Down, necessitating
the Vessel Being Delayed Two Days
In Leaving San Francisco.

Two days behind time, the S. S. AL
ameda arrived Sunday morning from
San Francisco with six days later mail
and news. The delay of the vessel
was caused by a breakdown to her re-
frigerating apparatus, which necessi-
tated holding the vessel from Saturday
June II, her regular sailing date, until
the following Monday, July IA. The
repairs were not entirely completed so
no meats could be brought to the local
dealers.
Purser Thomas c. Smith, who was
here with the Zealandia had to rush
his work in a way he has seldom eX-
perienced, running to between the two
ports. He arrived in San Francisco
with the Zealandia July IL, and 1t was
expected that the Alameda would sail
the following morning. 1t was neCes-
sary to pay off the crew of the Yea
landia, the crew of the Alameda and
complete his business with the San
Francisco office by Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock, when the Alameda was
scheduled to depart. He did the work
but it proved a case of loves labor
lost, for instead of the Alameda get
ting under way as advertised, she re-
NAMED two additional days in port.
1t was thought the repairs would be
completed within a short time, - or
ders were given for the crew and pas
sengers to remain aboard the steamer.
In fact, so urgent was the order
thought that none Of the crew dared
to venture ACROSS the street to post
farewell letters. Finally on Monday
morning, when the vessel did get under
way, two members of the crew who
had gone from the wharf for short
time, were left behind

THE KONA RAILROAD
WILL HAVE STEAMER SERVICE
FROM HERE.
Company Proposes to Connect With
ital Has Been Secured.

HILO, July 1S.-Gardner X. Wilder,
second vice-president of the Kona
Railway, has been in the city for a
week. Mr.. Wilder reports the railroad
prospect as very fattering. j.
L. Coerper, who has been an indie
fatigable worker for this road, has sue
ceeded in securing enough capital in
the East to guarantee the beginning or
work of construction within sixty or
ninety days. All that remains to be
done is to submit maps and drawings
to Governor Dole for his approval.
The plans of the Kona railroad peo-
pie are very comprehensive. They
propose to establish steamboat con-
nection between Honolulu and their
railway terminus at Kealakekua bay,
shat will revolutionize passenger and
freight business between the two ISL
ands. Already they have figured out
a schedule of three steamers weekly.
Leaving Honolulu at p. m, passen-
gers will be landed on the leeward side
of Hawaii at "a. m. next morning.
Taking a Kona railway car they VIII
be whirled across the Konas through
Kau to connection with the Hilo
railroad, which will bring them
through Puma and Olaa to Hilo in time
for luncheon.
The Kona road terminal will be at
the beach, not more than 100 feet from
Cooks monument. In distance OF
nine miles, the road will reach an ele-
walton of 14OO feet at McGuire's ranch.
The entire length of the road will be
about 12O miles connecting with the
Hilo Railroad at some point from
which a spur can be built to the Vol
cano. No terminal arrangements have
yet been made, but Mr. Wilder is Of
the opinion that the roads Will work
in harmony.
The rights Of way have been practi-
cally all secured over the entire route,
and unless unforeseen obstacles arise,
Mr.. Wilder says the road will be COM
pleted within sixteen or eighteen
months.
The greatest problem in connection
with the building of the road is of
course labor. The railroad people do
not intend to attract labor from the
plantations. 1t will be their purpose
