MINUTE
SPEECHES

Honolulu business men will discuss
the political situation at representa-
tive gathering which will be held on
Saturday morning at a place yet to be
chosen. The matter has been under
discussion for some days and the out
come of the plan means a free and
open talking over the outlook and the
methods which may be employed to Sc
cure the proper results.
There will be issued this morning in
vitations to fifty of the leading busi-
ness men of the city asking them to
serve as vice presidents of the meeting.
These will go to merchants, to sugar
factors, to lawyers and doctors, the
largest and the smallest dealers alike.
and the. meeting will thus be in charge
of the men who make up the business
life of the community
The meeting will be confined to an
hour of oratory and the speeches will
not be above five minutes in length.
There will be program Of some lead
ing addresses prepared so that the sub
ject may be formally and intelligentiy
opened, and the outlook is for an en-

his own life.
Up to midnight last night Jackson
had been kept in ignorance of the fact
that the Frie1 fire had burned any one
to death, or that his wifes mother and
sister were also victims. There were
rumors about town all day that Jack
son had made a confession to the po-
lice that he had set fire to the resi-
dence, but they were unfounded.
Jackson has been questioned at various
times, and has made damaging ad-
missions when such are taken into
consideration with the statements of
people in whose house he has been
sleeping at various times and where
he was captured There is a wide
discrepancy as. to the time of Jack
sons arrival according to his own
statement, at native house near Lii
liha, off Kuaklni street, back of Friel's
and the corroborated statements
made by two women who were in the
house at the time Utterances which
Jackson has made broadcast in the
city during the past two weeks are
thought to show an intent to take
some ones life other than his own,
and these were given before a coro-
ner's jury which held a long session
last night.
Jackson, who was put in a Jail cell
yesterday morning, attempted to COM
NIT suicide by saffocating himself with
his trousers. 4 crude sort of

Luke e. Wright, of Memphis, Tenn
member of the Philippine commission,
vice civil governor, who acted all sum
mer for Governor Taft, is on the way to
the United States for an earned yaca-
ton, having been in che islands for the
past two and half years. Governor
Wright win have many conferences
during his home visit which win have
to do with the future of the islands,
and perhaps will succeed in enlisting
capital for the exploitation of the lands
of the archipelago.
THE developments following the in
auguration of the civil government of
the islands," he said yesterday, "have
been most satisfactory. We have now
civil government almost everywhere,
and the people seem TO be learning the
advantages and acting upon them
rapidly. The system of provincial and
municipal government has worked well.
During the year past there has been not
a single defalcation proper, ana very
few thefts. The government is strictly
one of civil service ard there is no
question of politics entering into our af-
fairs
I'VE were expecting the arrival in the
islands of the Papal representative very
soon after our departure. and the nego-
tiations between the Vatican and Gov.
Taft, looking to the settlement of the
Friar matters, will be concluded there.
That is the only place for 1t TO be ar
ranged and an early and satisfactory
arrangement is certain. There is a de-
gree of peace and safety in the Philip
pines now, that was never reached dur
ing the Spanish regime. The Span
iards used to pay the brigands to keep
the peace, and we have refused to per-
petuate this system. After the passage
of the Philippine bill last year, we or
ganized the insular constabulary and
we now have 5000 of these police. We
find that they are the best men for the
business and they have cleared prov

lnceS of the law breakers with great
rapidity. The service is one which ap-
peals TO the natives, for the police are
chosen from among the tribes where
they must serve. This makes them
work the harder and prevents any mis-
understandings which would occur if
there was a mixture of tribes. Since
the organization of this force OF police
There have been only sixteen desertions,
and in no case was it a man going over
to the enemy.
THE future of the islands viii be a
great one, but owing to the limitations
which have been placed about the ae-
tions of the commission there will be
some time before the full development
takes place. Thus the amount of land
which may be transferred to a corpora
ton is only 1000 acres and in my opin-
ion this is not sufficient; it should be
at the least 5000 acres, The lumber
interests are being developed rapidly
under the system of licenses. Trade
is growing too, for the custom houses
have turned in some $4,000 900 Of rev
enues this year.
THE island of Negros is a natural
sugar island, and some of your people
who have been there, are very enthusi-
astic over it. The methods are old
fashioned and crude, yet there is a
fairly large crop taken off. The people
suffer from the fact that there have
been large numbers of cattle lost
through the rinderpest, and then the
cholera, which is practically stamped
out, has caused quarantine which has
stopped much business.
What are needed most are railroads
and these may be built soon by Ameri-
can capital. There is trunk line on
the island of Luzon now under consid-
Grafton and it's building will help mat
ters greatly. Tne business of the group
will enlarge rapidly as soon as normal
conditions obtain and we look for a
progressive future for the possessions"

Friday evening there will be several
good meetings. The principal one win
be held in the evening at the corner of
Queen and South streets. 1t will be
preceded by torchlight procession of
the members of the precinct clubs and
ether marching bodies of the nelghbor-

entire success of the meeting and of
the enthusiastic greeting which will be
rendered to the keikialii who is at the
head of me Republican ticket, Prince

evening there will be meeting at the
corner of Funchbowl and I<inau streets,

same body. The meeting will be pre-
ceded by a turnout of the club men,
and the speakers will be the represen-
tative men of the Portuguese colony
This meeting will show that there is a
strong feeling for Prince Kuhio among
the Portuguese and his reception there
will be one of the warmest that has
been given to him.
Saturday evening the meeting will
be preceded by torchlight procession
which will traverse the entire down
town district of the city. The marchers
will rendezvous at Union Square, and
the men win march straight down King

Stylish Partisan Ladies Pay FIXED
Sums to Modistes.
It is not generally known that some
of the most stylish Partisan society

this is meant that they pay a certain
fixed sum each year to one Of the
famous makers Of gowns, with the I'm.
derstanding that they shall be sup.
piled with all gowns required by them
during that time. Should an undue
number be needed, all above a certain
limit of value will be charged for as
extra.
This does not include hats and lin
gerie, though it is quite probable that
in the future establishments may be
set up where the lady Of wealth may
present herself so many times during
a season and have her entire outfit
prescribed, as it were, by one who
has the art of dressing down to a
fine point, and the prescription filled
by the maker, who foresees COM
bination unknown where every need
of dress for a lady's outfit may be sup
piled intelligently. If an era Of elab.
crate dressing. with countless access
series, is to o"tain In America, there
will be need for this kind of service,
both to relieve the wearer Of fine
clothes from what otherwise might
be a lifelong burden, and furthermore
to prevent the offending styles In
dress which of late are perpetrated
by those ignorant of good taste in
this respect.

Colorado Celery for the East,

Colorado celery is this year for tn.
first time being shipped East. From
an insignificant business of a few
years ago it has developed to an enor-
nous industry. Three years ago such
thing as shipping celery to the
eastern markets was unheard of. But
a few enterprising spirits decided tc
make the experiment and were amply
rewarded for their efforts. The re.
turns were SO large that the next year
they shipped nearly their entire crop
East. Since then the business has
developed rapidly. and this year will
be the banner season Of them all.
Nearly twenty-five cars have been
shipped, and a conservative estimate
for the season would be that not less
than forty cars will be shipped alto
gether. As each carload will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, it
means that fully 100000 pounds of
celery will be used for export trade
