WASHINGTON. %. c.. July Il
President Roosevelt has requested At
toreny General Knox to make an exam
nation Of the facts connected with the
so-called anthracite coal trust or COM
bination. This is with view %
ascertaining the exact legal status Of
the great railroads and coal companies
that are acting in harmony for the pur-
pose regulating the price of coal, mi
ners' wages, etc. This does not neces-
sarily mean that the Attorney General
will proceed against the coal combina-
ton. as he has already done against
the Northern Securities Company and
the beef trust. but the chances are that
action will be taken when the whole
question has been thoroughly exam
ined Matters are certainly crystallz-
ing in that direction, although the
President told recent callers that he
had not made up his mind one way or
the other. The President has in his
possession the report of Carroll D..
Wright. commissioner of labor. who
made an investigation for him of mat
ters in dispute between the coal oper-
ators and miners. The President de-
clined to discuss this report. saying
that he did not know whether 1t would
be made public or not.

LEASES CANNOT
BE CANCELLED

Attorney General Dole yesterday sent
an opinion to Land Commissioner Boyd
holding that the government cannot
cancel leases at will. Mr.. Dole says:
Referring to your inquiry, whether
you. have lawful authority as Commits
sioner of Public Lands to cancel the
leases of the Hamoa Plantation Com
pany, at the request of it's agents, c.
Brewer & Co., Ltd, feel compelled to
say that think you have not.
This government, and the Repub-
lie, and the Monarchy, leased tens of
thousands of acres of land at rentals
which are now far below their annual
value. 1t would be an extraordinary
position if the government should claim
that it had the right to cancel these
leases and repudiate its contracts be-
cause, as the years have gone by land
values have increased. The same prin-
ciple applies in this instance, where
the rental agreed agreed upon exceeds
the present annual value of the land.
The office which you hold in trust for
the public does not, 1 think, INCLUDE
the power to cancel, without considera-
ton, contract plainly for the benent
of the public

FRONT OF BUILDING
CRASHES DOWN

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.--The front
portion of the nine-story office build
ing under construction for Henry F.
Willard, on Fourteenth street, opposite
the new Willard hotel. collapsed short
ly after s o'clock this morning and a
large crowd of people passing on their
way to business had miraculous es-
cape from death OF injury. The acct
dent was caused by overwhelming, the
two iron column supports for the front
of the building being insufficient to sus-
tain the weight Of the 500 and 1000
pound stones which were being piled
as a sill coping on the sixth floor. These
immense stones and a part of the iron
framework fell to the ground, but for
tunately the noise of the crash gave
sufficient warning to the forty york
men employed and to the passers-by.

BISHOP WILLIS WORK IN
FAR OFF TONGA ISLES
Primitive Methods of Making Episcopal Visits.
The Bishop Given Hokopu by the
Natives and Bowl of Kava.

The following interesting letter is
made public by Synodsman Tesla, one
of Bishop Willis's Iieutenants in the
Church Militant of Hawaii:
| Dear Sir:-I write this letter to you
thinking that you may be interested 10
know something about my first expert
ence IN travelling in the South Sea ISL
ands After my short stay of two
weeks in Nukualofa, the Bishop went
to visit Haabai, about ninety miles to
| the north, and took me with him, two
| of the native Church members going
| also. We went by the S. S. Manapouri
to Lifuka, the principal island of the
| Haabai group. During our stay there
| large number of natives were receiv-
ed into the Anglican Church by the
| Bishop.
On Sept Srd we went to visit an ISL
and called Mouga-one, which is about
twelve miles west from Lifuka. At nine
O'Clock in the morning we got on board
| of decked sailing boat thirty feet long
| by twelve feet wide Eleven natives
went with us. When we got outside of
| the coral reefs, we were in the open
ocean, and the wind being directly aft,
we made the passage in three and half
hours with only the jib. On the way
we saw a large shark exercising itself
| by leaping up into the air. The natives
| took out their large conches and blew
them for all they We're worth, This
gives very piercing sound, which one
can hear about two miles off, supposed
| to be a charm to the ferocious monster,
as have learned. On nearing the ISL
and, it being low tide, we could not
| land at the side nearest to US, which
to the back of the island where the
coast is formed by low coral cliffs worn
into the most fantastic shapes by the
action of the waves. Here were sew
eral little bays and in one of these, the
sea being calm on this side, the boat
was brought alongside of rocks on
which it was quite easy to land. After
half a miles walk through an avenue of
cocoanut trees, with yam plantations on
either side, we got to the village. In
a little while dinner was set before us
consisting of chickens and yams cooked
in Hawaiian style.
About four o'clock in the afternoon,
the natives of the whole village, num-
bering about sixty, came together to
meet the Bishop. Each family brought
their present with them and laid it
down on the grass in front of the house,
where the Bishop and the chief of the
feast could see it. They then went back
to their places and sat down forming
a seinicircle. There were three cooked
pigs, several baskets of yams. bananas,

Redwood Getting Scarce.

OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 27.-The
Southern Pacific is unable to obtain
redwood ties, which have heretofore
been regarded as the best, relative to
withstanding the wear and tear. The
ties after being treated by creosote
process viii outwear the ordinary tie
by six or seven years.
The inability of the company to get
the ties desired for its new lines is ow-
ing to the scarcity of redwood itself. It
has recently become by far too valu-
able to be used for railroad ties. The
prospects are that the price viii con-
tinue to rise steadily.

etc. Presently a large kava bowl was
placed in the center of the people six
men were appointed by the chief to act
! in the ceremony. The kava roots hav-
ing been presented to the Bishop. were
handed to the man who had charge of
the kava bowl to be pounded to make
the drink, when it was ready, the
master of the feast calls out the
name of the person to whom the in
fusion was to be given first, second,
third. etc. The first bowl was pre-
sented to his Lordship. In the older.
days they would club the man if he de-
liyered it to the wrong person, and
would not give him another chance of
doing it again.
During the distribution a man sat in
the center and sang. After that the
chief ordered the liver of the roasted
pig to be presented to the Bishop ac-
cording to the Tongan custom But he
did not eat it, as the natives may nave
been expecting that he would So it
was taken away after he had accepted
it. The pigs, yams, bananas, etc, were
then divided into shares for the differ
ent families This was the end of the
ceremony.
At 1880 in the evening there was a
service in which his Lordship received
thirty people into the church, and they
sang hymns and anthems beautifully
in their native tongue.
On Sept 4th morning service was
held at half-past eight at which the
| Bishop baptized one infant and received
four children into the church The SER
vice was choral, the music being entire
~ vocal. The next morning we had
breakfast quite early, and were at the
place where we landed by Z q. m. But
now our embarking was quite a differ
ent thing to our disembarking two days
before. The rocks on which we had
landed were now covered by the high
tide, and swell was running in and
breaking on the rocks. By means of
small canoe. the natives got us and
all the baggage on board. It required a
number of trips, as only one could be
taken at a. time, one or more of the ma
tives swimming by the side, and steady
ing it. the Haapai Lay Reader and
Mouga-one choir master being the most
active in this work. 1t took half an
hour to get all on board.
AS soon as the sails were set the choir
master shook hands with the Bishop
and then jumped into the water and
swan home We had a good beam
wind and made the returned passage in
three and half hours, but not without
considerable mal-de-mer on the part of
