The demand for his services is
stronger than ever. And why? Re
cause the constant growing demand
for his produce at the highest prices,
and the fact that his produce when
and where ever shown In harness as
single or double drivers, first premi-
ums have been awarded them; and the
dominant characteristics, the prevail
ing qualities which must, according
to the laws of heredity, fashion his
produce, which are large, with fine
stylish conformation, high actors,
which forces Lisburn to the front as Il
stock horse. To be up to the require
ments Of the Eastern markets, which
controls and regulates the price of fine
drivers, the first and most important
quality is size; as the standard for size
is raised every year, the market de-
mands larger horses as drivers. Next
important quality is action. AS a
speed producer Lisburn can boast Of
his produce being the speediest the
dams of his get ever produced, and
outsold their produce from any other
sire. He has the right to be great
speed producer, as his sire, Woodford
Wilkes, with limited opportunities,
commencing his stud career in 1886,
has Al standard performers with
records from 2:OSt to 2:30, and has
more producing sons and daughters
than any stallion living that COM
menced his stud career not earlier
than 1886. Among them will be found
Knight (half brother to Lisburn), sire
Of Anaconda, rec. 2:014; Woodford
Wilkes 1st dam Hernia, 2nd dam
Hermosia, 3rd dam Black Rose, are
all great speed producers and in the
great brood mare list-three of the
greatest brood mares of their day.
The records of these mares furnishes
a stepping stone to the famous race
horses Of to-day. Lisburn 'ssire backed
up with such dams and his own LIST
dam Flash, End dam Marona being
producers running back through Bay

bers ef the chamber, the number OF
steamers engaged in the trade, and
their storage capacity, we are enabled
of business, and can safely estimate
this increase. The business has been
the largest since our trade with the
islands began, and the indications are
more promising. The exports include
mainly agricultural implements, live
stock, railroad supplies. iron and steel
manufactures, cutlery, building ma
terial and cotton goods, as the natives
are beginning to wear more clothes
since they became annexed. We also
ship to the islands all the kinds of
fruits Which they do not grows also
tobacco, candies, tinware, borax,
books, potatoes and other vegetables,
bituminous rock, candles, brooms, ce-
ment, carriages, chemicals, drugs,
watches, clocks, coffee. cotton, silks,
| wooden goods, earthenware, eggs,
cheese, butter, dried fish, dried and
canned fruits, firearms, oysters, cut
lery, pumps, boots and shoes, lumber,
shingles, sewing machines, pianos,
wines and other luxuries of civiliza-
ton. Our export trade is about ST.
100000 month. The trade from
other parts of the United States to the
islands is only about 81 80, 900 month.
San Francisco gets nearly all of the
trade. This is natural law, for the
islands are our nearest neighbors, and
have for many years been our best
commercial customers. Perhaps not
over one per cent. of the business Of
the Islands has gone to other coun-
tries during the past few years.
Eve receive from the islands," con-
tinued the secretary. sugar. rice and
q little coffee The main product is
sugar. The rice crop partly failed last
year. and the coffee crop is not so large
as it was a few years ago. In 1899 we
received 100000 pounds Of coffee, of
| the Liberia and Mocha brand; but last
year we got only 10000 pounds. The
decrease is owing to the ravages of
insects, and the reyolutionists, who
destroyed the fruit-bearing trees. We
received during the last fiscal year
100000 pounds of sugar and 1900.
600 pounds of rice. In 1897 we received

the largest vessels afloat. Larger
wharves have recently been built for
the increased shipping. This island was
discovered by Capt. Cook, in 1878. He
was murdered by the natives, and
afterwards eaten. The voyage to Hon
o1ulu from this city occupies about
six days. Within the past year there
has been great deal of tourist travel
to the islands, and considerable capt.
tai has been invested in hotels. improp-
ing roads. and in running excursion
steamers to the various points of in
terest in the archipelago. Thus the
building up Of the valuable trade OF
the islands has resulted in another line
of capital, and the archipelago is des-
tined to become the favorite winter re-
sort Of the west coast.
Our exports to the Samoan Islands
last year were only s4s,150, de-
crease Of 5000 of the trade Of 1900.
The cause of this is that our demand
for "copra" is falling off. This crop
last year was valued at $25O,00O,
about half of which comes to the
United States. and the greater part
of this half is utilized in California.
"Copra" is the meat of the cocoanut,
which is cut into strips, dried and
pressed into OIL 1t is also made into
soap and candles. The other part of
the crop goes to Europe. Cotton
seed oil of the southern states is pre-
ferred in the eastern states to the
"copra." hence the decrease Of our
importation from Samoa. The cocoa
nut crop last year was shorter than
formerly, because of drought and the
cutting of trees by bushwhacking
factions-pursuing the same de-
structive warfare as the Hawaiians.
The coffee crop was not SO large. Re-
ports from our chamber Of COM
merce show that we exported to Sa-
mon last year $4,000 worth of ma
chinery, $4,000 worth of hardware
$1,000 worth of cotton goods, 200 gal
Ions OF wine and 1000 gallons of
whisky. There is gradual decline
of English and German trade to the
islands, and the Indications are
brighter for an increased American
trade, both in imports and exports.
The Samoan islands are 1000 miles
south of the Hawaiian group, on q
direct lins between San Francisco and
Australia. The population is about
10000, Of which about GOO are for
eigners, including 100 Americans.
Two of the eight islands are unin.
habited. The three larger and most
thickly settled are Tutuila, $4,000
acres: Sapail. 100000 acres. and Up
olu, 100000 acres. The island of Tu-
tuila. owned by the United States.
has population of 1000. The de-
mand for lands Is increasing, espe-
cially among American capitalists.
Our recently-establishcd government
coaling and supply station at Pago-
Page will add greatly TO the develop
ment of this island and the increase
Of commerce with the United States.

The republican party in It's colonial
policy has. .sown to the wind, and Ia
now beginning to reap the rhtrl-
wind, says theSSt. Louis Republic.

so-called "home market" for the
trusts of the United States, to the
positive detriment Of our colonial
subjects" and Of onr friends, the
Cubans.
1t maintains free trade between
the states, but objects to free trade
between the states and OLE outlying
colonies.
Prohibitive protection establishes
one system of taxation for the peo-
pie of the United States, and anoth-
er for our territorial acquisitions.
Thinking republicans who retain
sense of national honor are leaving
their party on this question. The
democracy welcomes them into the
organization which has consistent
record of fidelity to the interests
and honor of the American people at

100000 pounds OF frice. Capitalists
are turning their attention more to
sugar and less to the growing of rice.
The natives do not seem to understand
the system of flooding rice fields, and
even those who have capital are invest
ing in sugar lands, which are plentiful
and comparatively cheap. We also get
1nolaxses and indiarubber from the is
lands. as we'll as bananas, pineapples,
hines, mangoes and cocoanuts, fruits
that we do not gnow in this state. We
are gradually increasing our trade,
and send cargoes of stuffs with agents,
hoping TO stimulate want for other
products. We take from the islands
anything that we have not got, with
view of encouraging and building up
oil kinds of tndustrials, for that coun-
try Is now our exclusive field, almost.
OF all the islands in the Pacific the
Hawaiian group are the best traders
with San Francisco, and their being 10.
GATED In the mid-Pacifc makes San
Francisco their nearest port from
which supplies are obtainable. For
nearly half a century we have been
trading with the islands, and made a
steady gain from the start. But it did
not reach large proportions until
about 20 years ago, since which time
1t has rapidly increased in volume, and
especially SO within the past four OF
five years. We had such firm hold
upon the commerce of that country
THAT annexation naturally followed.
The American capital invested IN the
islands is about $4,000, 600; the British
have about $4,000. 900 invested. and the
Germans about half that amount. The
value Of the sugar product is about
s11.ooo,0o0 a year-that is, estimating
This year, for number of new planta-
lions will be producers"
The production Of sugar began on
the islands about 60 years ago, and for
many years the output was small, and
not until American capital was largely
invested did the industry become prof
liable. Twenty years ago the output
was about one-tenth of what it is now.
The production of sugar now employs
the larger portion of the labor of the
islands, as we'll as It's capital and it
also provides the support of tho great

Report from Thomas II. Balm IL that

CFrom a STAFF Correspondent

LINCOLN, March 27-(special Tele-
gram)-Thomas II. Balm Of Topeka spoke
in ST. Paul's church tonight on the sue
cess OF prohibition in that city. He said
that so far as known by the police and
the public there are no saloons or joints
in Topeka and he thought the same condi-
ton would prevail in Lincoln under pro-
hibition rule.
The city council will hold another spe-
cial meeting tomorrow TO consider the
liquor occupation tax ordinance, but there
is slight prospect that the measure will
pass.
An order will soon be issued by the ad-
jutant general for the inspection Of the
battery Of artillery at Wymore. 1t was
said at the military headquarters this aft
ernoon that the inspecting officer would ex-
anime not only the general condition Of
the organization, but would also investi-
gate charges that have been preferred
against several Of its members. This &C
ton grows out Of the dispute that occurred
several months ago ever the election Of a
captain. Date of the inspection will be an
nounced later.
