SPORTS FOR TO-DAY NEEDED FOR CABLES.
GTTTA pEWCHA THREATENED
WITH EXTINCTION.
Scientists Endeavor to Acclimate The
Gutta Tree-Supply Liable to Fan
short Of Demand.

The scientists i'm France are now en-
gagged upon the problem of aCClmaung
the Isonandra gutta, the tree which pro-
duCes gutta perCha, Indispensable to the
construction of submarine cables. 1t
seems that no other product known at
present replaces the gutta percha found
i'm the forests of the Malay peninsula and
i'm the certain districts i'm Malacca. In
feriOr qualities have not the requisite
durability for submarine use. The
plantations i'm the above mentioned dis
triCts have been SO ruinOusly exploited
by the natives, who uprOOt full grown
trees and cut young plants before they
come to maturity, that it is feared there
will be a shortage in the supply of this
quality of gutta percha in the course of
IS years unless means are taken to pro-
teCt the forests or to propagate the
plants elsewhere The following figures
will give some idea of the rapid increase
i'm the export of the gum. In 1S45 Eu-
rope imported only 1854 pounds of
gutta perCha; i'm 1857, when the Singa-
pore supply was exhausted, the Malay
archipelago exported more than 529, lO4
pounds; in 1870 Sumatran expectations
exceeded 299. 62l pounds In order TO at.
tain these figures it is estimated that
the natives must have sacrificed more
than 100000 trees. Expeditions sent
out by France. England and Holland to
discover the botanical origin of the pre-
CiOus gum and to increase its prOduc-
ton have reached the same conclusion.
As it is almost impossible to find a full
grown gutta percha producing tree, the
situation will be extremely grave if ur-
gent measures are no taken. The Brit
ish government has posted placards for
the protection of the trees, with no eff
feet. Holland has planted trees but in
insufficient number and of inferior spe-
cies Productive species have, however,
been found in the Malay forests extend
ing between the rivers of Pahang, Pa
tani and Perat They have been trans
planted into Reunion and Madagascar
and if they thrive there will be less
danger of a dearth i'm the supply of
gum required for submarine cables.

DANISH WEST INDIES.

Following the invariable rule in
such cases, the State Department Off
Gals decline to make public any of the
details of the treaty ceding the Danish
West Indies so it is impossible to state
definitely the price to be paid, though
this is believed to be in the neighbour
hood of $4,000, 900.
1t is known also that Denmark has
abandoned the position she was in
clined to occupy toward the conserva-
ton of the political rights of the in
habitants of the island, and leaves the
United States a free hand to deal with
Them without pledge of American citi-
zenship or of free trade privileges.
So it is assumed that the status of
the Danish West Indian Islands, poll
tically, should the treaty be ratified,
will be similar to that of Porto Rico.
Having gained these points in the ne
gotiatiOns, the State department Off
Gals believe the treaty is certain to
receive the approval of the United
States Senate.

PHILIPPINE POLICY PROTEST.
Gaines and Dinsmore Opposed to Mill
tary Post.

The irrigation of arid lands in the
West and the advisability Of retain
ing control of the Philippines were the
main topics under discussion in the
House on January p.
Gaines of Tennessee opposed the
item in the bill providing for the es-
adjustment of military post at Ma
Mia, and denounced the administra-
TONS policy in the Philippines. He
declared that while in the Philippines
he learned absolutely that the Ameri-
cans promised independence to the
Filipinos.
Kahn of California challenged him
to produce the name of a single Fill
pino who gave him such information.
Gaines said that the information had
been given him in confidence and that
if he We're to divulge the names of
those who had given it to him they
would lose their heads. This reply
elected jeers from the Republican
side.
DinsmOre of Arkansas also spoke in
opposition to the administration
Philippine policy. He insisted that we
should not turn our backs upon the
glorious traditions of the past and en-
ter upon a colonial policy.

Some of the yachts will be out on
practice spins this afternoon and to-
morrow, and the mosquito fleet in gem
eral will keep tuned up for the series
of races for the Port Captains cup. The
Myrtle crew and craft will possibly sail
a race on the water in this event.
1t is the intention of the donor of the
trophy, Henry Roth, to have the series
raced on consecutive weeks and the Of
fer of the cup has been formally made
to the club. The first trial is likely to
take place tomorrow week.
The next general cruise of the club
will take place three weeks from now
on Washington's birthday The old
house at present on the club site will
be sufficient repaired by that time to be
habitable as a bunk house and oppor-
tunity will be taken to use it as such
The La PalOma will possibly be ready
for this run if her sails come from a To-
cal loft. Clarence Macfarlane, her
owner, has revised his original inten-
ton of turning his schooner into a yawl
and will convert her to sloop rig. The
yawl would probably have proved the
speedier of the two and a jgger mast
may yet be added after a few trials.
Her sticks are being stepped this week.
There is again considerable talk of
starting a shooting club, the tourna-
ment to take place at kapiolani Park
and the tagets to be blue rock clay
pigeons.

Gladys on the Ways-Port Captains
Cup Offered to the Club.

The Gladys, Commodore T. w. Hob
rOn's yacht is now on the ways being
cleaned The keel was badly encTusted
with coral, sea grass and other parasites
of the sea which have become attached
to the craft during the last four months
and have succeeded in considerably
diminishing it's speed. The tug boat
Eleu, also on the ways, presents a
striking example of what tropical wa
ters will do to a hull in a short time.
The port side is practically clean, but
the star board side, being the one
more exposed to the sun as the tug
lies along side of her dock, presents the
appearance of an ivy clad wall, being
completely covered with broad leaved
limu. Commodore Hebron will expert
ment with varieties of metal paint and
endeavOr to stop the rapid growth of
such impedimenta in future on the
Gladys.

LOST A DOG.
Rapid Transit Company and Sullivan's
Bull Dog.

Eugene Sullivan says he is consider
ing a suit against the Honolulu Rapid
Transit Company on account of the
loss of a dog and has consulted sew
eral attorneys about it. 1t appears
that the dog was a very valuable bull
dog, which had long learned the use
of street cars The animal often rode
where he wanted to go on the Pain
cars and naturally felt quite at home
on those vehicles.
A few days ago the dog encounter
ed a Rapid Transit car in the course
of his travels, and he boarded the car
to ride home. He was not used to such
quick travel or such a big car, and
became excited. Just how the acct
dent happened is not known, but as
the dog was alighting he broke one of
his legs. The question of damages at
once arose. 1t is the opinion of most
lawyers who have been consulted that
the proposition depends upon whether
the dog had paid his fare.

 New York, June 11.-Its weather mar ket and the inevitable happened this morning. On dry weather reports October sold up to 8.11 and then rumors of prob able showers and rains in some sections started selling that carried October to 7.99. If rains come now the break has only just started. The conditions of the crop will be such with general rains this week that nothing can possibly keep Oc- tober at cents. But on the other hand If rains do not materialiZe and dry weather continues there will be fur ther advance in prices. Its weather market pure and simple and knowing the weather one knows what the price will do.
 With needed rains October will break below cents again and will doubtless go as low as before. If the rain comes the market is a sale This Is not July when brouth has permanently injured the crop. In most effects there has been practi- cally no harm done yet. If rains ar6re ported tomorrow and prices break sharply there may be a slight advance before the week Is over.
 We don't want to advise short selling until rains come. Predictions may not be fulfilled and then there will be a fur ther advance.

Murphy a Co lotion Letter.

New York, June II. - Weather crop news again monopolized attention this morning and prices further advanced 4 Q5 points because of continued absence of rain. every station so far as heard from when the market opened reporting dry weather. Moreover, 1t was known that the mercury early in the day was lowering in the nineties at certain points in Texas, and as this state naturally at market was shaped by the frequent re- ports from that state. While the trade Is extremely nervous and disposed to sup port the market, there Is no wild scram- ble to buy just yet. On the contrary, a very conservative spirit prevails since 1t is conceded that rain Is not yet abso- lutely needed in most states However. it Is also conceded that the crop Is not doing so well because of the dry weather and the mere possibility of deterioration has given bulls control of the market until weather conditions have changed.
 The market ruled dull and quiet within a narrow range after the opening The short interest Is claimed to be very large but it Is evident that they are far from scared. Bull support was lacking to the extent expected today and prices eased off after the opening, although the fore cast was for no rain In the southwest There is anxiety to know whence needed cotton Is to come from in October, re- gardless of brilliant crop prospects.
