sheriff Andrews again was called
and told Of police methods. To Senator
Mitchell he said there was very little
difference between the administration
under the monarchy and now. He went
over several features which showed no
change lie insisted that the crown
lands were not considered as belonging
to the monarch. only that the rev
enues went to the ruler. He said also
that practically the only changes were
the grand jury and the bankruptcy sys-

Andrews said he kept Ney as guard,

HORNER ON AGRICULTURE.
Albert Horner was called at the sug-
gestion of Col Parker to talk of coffee.
He said his family grew cane after
having tried diversified agriculture and
giving it up. He read memorial Civ
ing the experiences Of the Horners
with agriculture. He told of trying
barley and oats, which grew well for a
short time, but were eaten up by
worms. He then said that during 20
years all kinds of grain were tried
from 1900 feet up. and always met with
failure. In potatoes there was usually
one crop in three years. He said there
must be some enemy found for the
insect pests. The first crop was usu-
ally good, but subsequently the pests
came in. As to coffee. the family had
Increased its area until there was
about 400 acres of trees. The last ac-
count sales showed $9j for 1000 pounds,
while the cost of producing IT was
$iO5.25 for 1900 pounds This be said
meant ruin and the plantations trees
would not be cultivated any more.
Many small planters had abandoned
their fields ana sought work upon sug-
ar plantations. He said there was APP
proximately 100000 acres here suitable
for coffee, but there would have to be
some protection. He said if this acre
age was settled the islands would be-
come "A paradise indeed If a tariff
coulJ not be had he thought bounty
of four cents "A pound would start the
plantations. He said the coffee had
beer exhibited and won prizes and he
thought the coffee had been put be-
fore the people properly but no great
efforts mad been made owing to low
prices. Senator Burton said he thought
with proper efforts there could be
found people to buy the coffee al "A high
price because of its purity.
Mr.. Horner favored Chinese labor for
field work and said this would help
skilled labor. He thought there should
be restriction to field labor for short
periods and that this was the general
feeling. h said he did not think white
people would work in cane fields and
that few natives worked in cane.
Col. Parker was asked about being
engaged in the cattle raising business
and raised laugh by asking If an as
SCISSOR was about The questioning took
the form of an inquiry into sheep rails
inf, and Col. Parker said about 100, 900
sheep We're on all islands. In Homo
lulu the consumption was 10000 car
cases a year. The islands do not raise
sufficient meat for consumption and
much must be imported from San
Francisco.
w. $. Terry, a coffee miller for six
years past, said he was one of the first
coffee planters Of the last boom. He
said the coffee industry had been de-
for six cents than he formerly bought
for IS cents.
LYMAN AS TO LANDS.
Rufus \. Lyman, who held many po-
sitions under the monarchy, principal
ly in land matters, was heard. He
said he thought the present system of
getting into line before the land office
was wrong. He thought there We're
other defects, among these being the
tendency for spectators to get lands
lie thought there should be a breakwa-
ter for the protection Of the harbor.
With reference to crown lands, he
said If the Queen had stayed on the
throne she would have been entitled
To 1hn rnvnnmns during her life LIE
