TRANSFER OF POWER
Wilson, Not Shaw, to Control
 Live Stock Contagion.
TREATY WITH SPAIN IS RATIFIED.
Senate In Executive Session Dis- cusses the Venezuelan Situation, but Finds No Cause For Inn
 mediate Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The house yesterday passed the bill transferring from the treasury department to the department of agriculture the power to tablish regulation for the suppression of contagious diseases among live stock and devoted the remainder of the day to the legislative appropriation bill, on which rapid progSess was made.
 In the senate Mfr. Dillingham; conclud- ed his remarks in opposition to the om- nibus statehood bill, and by unanimous consent it was agreed there should be no further discussion of the measure until the senate reconvenes on Jan. D.
 The senate in executive session rati- fed the treaty of friendship and gen eral relations between the United States and Spain. The Spanish treaty was ratified without debate or division. The attendance was small, and as soon as the treaty had been read, this form ality taking about half an hour, Sena- tor Lodge, who was in the chair, put the ques ion, and, there being no dis sent, he declared the resolution of rati- fication carried by the necessary two thirds vote.
 The Venezuelan question occupied tue attention of the senate in executive session for almost sn hour. The ques- ton came up informally almost imme- diately after the public was excluded. Senator Teller, disclaiming all intention of being critical and saying he merely desired information, asked Senator Gull lom, chairman of the committee on for eign relations, what information he possessed as to the Venezuelan affair. Mr. Teller in inquiring said that the sit uation is such that senators felt that the Monroe doctrine at any time might become involved if the complication should continue.
 Senator Cullom replied to the inquiry that he had no knowledge of recent events not contained in the public prints. Messrs. Bacon, Hoar, Lodge and Stewart all made remarks. In none of the addresses was anything harsh or critical said. The tone of all the speech es, whether by Republicans or Demo crats, was that our position as nation should be one of watchfulness. There was general agreement that while the means adopted by Great Britain and 1 Germany for the collection of theil 1 debts had been quite strenuous they 1 thus far had committed no infringe l ment of the Monroe doctrine and there | fore had done nothing to which the l United States could take exception.

HARVARD AND YALE CONFER.
New Five Year Agreement Probably Will Be Made-The Case of Glass.


 New Five Year Agreement Probably
 Will Be Made-The Case of Glass.
 New Haven, Dec 17.-Walter Camp, Yale's athletic director, said last night that all that was done at yesterday s conference of Yale and Harvard repre- sentatives in this city to fix upsan ath- letic agreement between the two uni- versailles was to discuss the eligibility rules and to adjourn for another ses- sion after the Christmas holidays
 It was said last night that the anna, teur standing of Edgar T. Glass, the star Yale guard, was talked over at much length, but no one who was pres ent would say what conclusion had been arrived at. Glass is a candidate for captain of the Yale 'varAty team for next year. Yale will not elect him captain if there is any question likely to be raised by Harvard over his right to play on the Yale team next season. If Glass is not chosen Captain Metcalf will be the man, very likely.
 Those at the conference yesterday were: For Yale, Walter Camp. Prof T. s. Woolsey, Secretary Anson Phelps Stokes of the Yale corporation and H. B. Sargent of the Yale corporation. Those representing Harvard were: Prof Ira N. Hollis, chairman of the Harvard athletic committee; James J StorroW. Harvard's rowing coach, and A. K. Brubacker, 'O4. It was stated that the next conference would proba- bly, be the last and that there was no doubt but that five years agreement between the two universities would be entered into.

The housekeeper had bought several tins of tea that came in pound cans. Going into the pantry one day she dis covered the maid opening tin with what. she thought was undue nearness to the time of opening former. Ex- postulating that surely all that tea hadn't been used so soon, the maid tossed her head.
 There's no pound in those tins ma'am; they say so themselves" And pointing to the mark on the label, "One h., net" she went on triumphantly Look, ma'am; you see yourself it says one pound, nit. Twas joker that put that up! Philadelphia Bulletin.

Prominent British Authorities Think Restriction will Benefit Americans.

 c. M Putnam, an old Oxford stroke, is quoted as saying: The rule is an excellent ono and should eventually benefit foreign oarsmen. That which was always the spirit now becomes the letter of the law
 W. P. Woodgate, an old Oxford oars man, expressed the opinion that the new rule may in time raise the stand ard of rowing among those American clubs which are still employing pro- fessionals by throwing the crews on tlleir own resources.

INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS
Likely That Harvard and Yale Wi
 Meet British Universities.

Although no official move has yet been made toward arranging tho in ternationaI inter-'yacs:Ey athletic nlatca between HarVard- Yaia and OxtnrG- Cambridge for nexe summer in Lcl don, there is every likelihood that the meet will be held. Harry s. Brooks. of Yale, who was chairman of the arrangement committee in charge of the match last year said yesterday:
 Tt is Il order that match be tween the athlctes of Harvard and Yale and Oxford and Cambridge should take place next season at the Queens club, London, and doubtless when the proper time arrives there will be no trouble in arranging the details. I see no reason why such a contest should not take place in 1903. Personally I have not been asked to make any move in the matter as yet nor am I aware that anything has been done officially at New Haven or Cambridge. What has been printed in the newspapers is simply rlmor and nothing more. Probably later on there will be meeting of the Yale and darvard representatives, and not until then will there be any definite news about the contest.
 The first match between Yalc-Har ward and Oxford -Cambridge took place in 1899 in London. and it was then understood there should be 3 contest every two years, alternating between New York and London. IT the first match the Americans were Ggfeated by the EngIishmen, but when the EnQIishmen came here thpy -So-a heaten at the Berkeley oval.

is all the rage in England. Carkeek in an interesting letter writes: sEhe game is fourishing as it has never done before, and it will continue SC un- less some one steps forward and tries to hippodrome the public. Matches are held almost daily, and some of them are extremely interesting. The best wrestler developed thus far among the little fellows is Tani, the Jap. He is certainly a wonder, and in many ways reminds me of Sofas- kachi. He has unique way of grap- bling his opponent, but when he gets you he knows how 10 get you down. George Hackenschundt is another cleV Ter man. He is endowed with great strength, but he has one fault. how ever. and that is that he is lenient. There is talk of both of us wrestling, but my time is taken up with theatri- cal contracts and l cannot very well get away. If Jenkins or Bothner or any Of the other Americans visit Eng land they will make money. I intend to remain abroad until next summer, when I will visit the states again.

September he entered Oahu College
where he remained until January, 1882,
; at which time he entered the law office
of w. r. Castle, where he devoted him
self closely to the study of law, being
admitted to the bar February, 1887, to
practice in all the courts of Hawaii.
His popularity was attested when in
September, 1897, he was elected repre-
sentative from the Second District of
the Republic of Hawaii, including Ko-
hala, the Kona's and Kau. During the
Legislature of 1898, he was further hon
ored by being elected a Councillor Of
State. After annexation he was elected
as one of the first Senators for the
new Territory and made a most salts
factory showing for the Republican mi
nority. Mr.. Achi has always given
considerable attention to real estate
and has opened up more tracts in Hon
Olulu than any other individual and his
firm now has more city property for
sale than many other firms, and they
also deal extensively in stocks. Few
individuals have a better knowledge of
property and values here than Mr..
Achi.
On his trip to san francisco in Oc-
tober, 1898, he formed the Idea that a
boulevard in Honolulu would be a good
ment and during the Legislature of 1901
he introduced a resolution appropriat-
ing $4,000 for such a boulevard, but
it failed to pass.
Mr.. Achi with Hon. w. r. Castle
and others is a promoter and stockhUIu-
er in the South Kona Agricultural Co.
Ltd, of South Kona, on the Island of
Hawaii.
He is a consistent worker for the
good of Hawaiians and is continually
urging them through written articles
in the newspapers and in other ways
to go into business and to follow the
example of other nationalities in the
Islands, and it seems hat there are
many Hawaiians who are following his
advice and it is his policy to lead them
all he can in a business way.
Mr.. Achi is a hard worker and a
shrewd, far seeing business man as
well as an astute politician. He is es-
sentially a self-made man whose eff
forts and ability can be gagged by the
liberal measure of success which he has
attained.

which allows for private tuition at
home. OF the 1887 pupils last reported
il. all the Hawaiian schools, public and
private, 1850 were within the compul
scry school age, sos were under six and
were mostly attending kindergartens,
and 1,042 were above Is, attending the
higher institutions of education.
In an article of a few hundred words
it is hard to compress all one would
like to say about the education of
Territory which has paid SO much at
tention to the subject as this. Under
the Monarchy, under the Republic, and
now as an integral part of the great
United States there has always been
manifested a wonderful Hberality to-
wards the schools. Whatever the vi
cissitude of the finances, the teachers
and the children are well looked after.
The Department of Education may not
be able to go forward as it would wish,
and as it knows is necessary, but it has
never yet taken a step backward.
The monthly pay for teachers, jani-
tors and truant officers amounts to
close on to s25, 900 or 100000 for the BIZ
ennial period. New school houses and
repairs of buildings, together with fur
niture and fixtures have been allowed
S199, 025.00 for the two years. Out OF
this two industrial schools are to be
fitted and built, and it is proposed to
remodel Lahainaluna entirely, besides
the necessary support of these schools
which comes out of the same fund.
Considering conditions here there is no
cause for the Department to complain.
There is much that should be done or
provided for, notably new building
for the Royal School and a new build
ing for the Normal School. Probably
the next Legislature will provide for
these wants.
The schools are kept open from to
2 for five days a week, during ten
of the year, and it is the pride
of the Islands that since their eStab
lishment in 1S43 no public school for
children has ever had to be closed on
account of a shortage of funds.
To have been connected with the pub
lie school system of the Islands is an
honor and no one appreciates it more
than

There is a regular course of study
which is carefully followed out. Eng
lish is the back bone of the teaching
and everything that is done is made to
help instruction in language. Every
thing is now taught in English, save in
the High School no other language Is
taught. It must be borne in mind that
English is not taught as an exotic, but
that the teaching is in English, thus
making it the vehicle of thought.
Years ago the writer of these lines
realized the Importance of making Eng
lish the vehicle of thought among the
younger generation, and it is matter
OF satisfaction that the idea germinat-
ed has grown into so healthy plant.
In the Public Schools of the Territory
there is no translation from one Ian
guage to another. 1t is just as when
an American boy goes to a German ed
Ucational establishment. He has to as
simulate the language. He does it be-
cause he cannot help it. The best proof
OF the success of our system is that the
children of such a heterogeneous popu-
lation play in English. 1t may not
be the most perfect of English, but it
is very much better than the English
irterlarded with the local slang which
may be heard in the streets of large
cities on the mainland, or in Great
Britain.
But, or course, however strongly we
may have to emphasize English we do
not neglect other things. Our great
aim is to fit the youth of both sexes as
They are taught arithmetic, geography
composition, especial attention being
given to letter writing, United States
history, physiology in an elementary
way, and so forth. Hand work is not
neglected and almost every school has
its sewing chest, its garden tools, and
it's knives for modified sort of Sloyd.
l. many schools we have both boys and
g -rls taught to sew, but in such ad
vanced views it is hard to overcome
the inertia of prejudice both of teach
ers and boys. All our Normal School
graduates, both male and female are
taught to sew, and to handle carpen-
ter's tools.
The agricultural side of education is
also brought in. Here and there, where
we have exceptional teachers we are
able to do fairly scientific work, but N
most places we have to be contented
with keeping the grounds in good
order, and encouraging the pupils to
plant flowers, and sometimes vege-
tables. All this work furnishes food
for thought, for expression as we'll as
for the mere manner of planting and
caring for the seed.
School is compulsory between the
ages of six and fifteen, Children Or
their parents can elect whether they
will go to a public or private school.

A Murderous Sea Flower.

One Of the exquisite wonders of the
sea is called the opelet, and is about
as large as the German aster, looking
indeed very much like one. Imagine
a very large double aster, with grea,
many long petals Of light green color,
glossy satin, and each one tipped with
rose color. These lovely petals do not
lie quietly in their places, but wave
about in he water, while the opelet
clingS to the rocks. How innocent and
lovely it looks on it's rocky bed! Who
would suspect that it would eat any
thing grosser than dew and sunlight? +?
But those beautiful waving arms, as
you call them, have uses besides look
ing pretty. They have to provide for
q large, open mouth, which is hidden
down deep among them--so hidden
that one can scarcely find it. Well dc
they perform their duty, for the In.
Giant a foolish little fish touches one
OF the rosy tips, he is struck with o
poison as fatal to him as lightning. He
Immediately becomes numb, and in a
moment stops struggling, and then the
arms wrap themselves around him and
he is drawn into the huge, greedy
mouth, and is seen no more. Then the
lovely arms uncloSe and wave again

WORDS OF WISDOM.

There is nothing so bad but what
good may come Of it.
To babble your affairs is folly, but
to rehearse those of an intimate is
dishonor.
The opportunity Of a lifetime must
be seized during the lifetime Of the
opportunity.
Many a heart is ruined and worn
out long ere the form be bent or the
head grown gray.
What is often miscalled stinginess is
form of liberality; we are close that
we may pay our just debts.
A year of pleasure passes like
flowing breeze, but moment Of mis-
fortune seems an age of pain.
Acquire a loan when necessity
drives. but unless you would lose a
friend borrow only from a stranger.
If thou hast a grief too heavy to
bear call patience to help you, and
she will bring you a blessing in its
place.
He who sits down in a dungeon
which another has made has not such
cause to bewail himself as he who sits
down in the dungeon which he has
made for himself.
Truth itself, according to Locke's
fine saying, will not profit us so long
as she is but held in the hand and
taken upon trust from other minds,
not wooed and won and welded by
our own.
Rush never does anything but rush,
and Fret is his wife, Of whom is born
Worry, a triplicate Of disaster; once
admit them to the circle Of Peace and
they are more sure dispensers than
dynamite.

ORIGIN OF "TALK TURKEY.

Retort of an Indian Whom a White
Man Was Trying TO overreach'
A man who listened to some spell
binder" every evening for three weeks
during the recent municipal campaign,
according to the New York Times, said
the other day:
Campaign orators do not always
have time or occasion to explain eX-
pressions used in driving home argu
guments. They must necessarily de-
pend upon their audiences to see the
point through apt applications of such
expressions. l have in mind one-to
talk turkey'-repeatedly used. The
story of its origin is as follows:
1.-TWO men, an Indian and a white
man, agreed to hunt together for a day
and to divide the spoils. When the
time came there was no difficulty in ap-
portioning the smaller birds and ami
mals-one of a kind to each. At last
they reached the last pair, crow and
a turkey.
Now, says the white man, with a
great show Of fairness, you may have
the crow and I'll take the turkey, or III
take the turkey and you may have the
crow
'Huh!' says the Indian, why you
no talk turkey to me?
